This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of September 1, 2006 (this “Agreement”), is executed by and among Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I hereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor at the Closing Date is the owner of the Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion in the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Loans, including the Subsequent Loans, and certain other assets. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Loans and certain other assets and will be the owner of the Certificates.  The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Loans and the issuance to the Depositor of the Certificates representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.  All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to the Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates.  The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trust created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

The Certificates issued hereunder, other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates, have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement dated September 28, 2006 to a Prospectus dated May 19, 2006 (together, the “Prospectus”).  The Trust Fund created hereunder is intended to be the “Trust” as described in the Prospectus and the Certificates are intended to be the “Certificates” described therein.

The Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code.  Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.  The assets of REMIC I shall include the Loans, the accounts (other than the Capitalized Interest Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Reserve Fund, the Cap Account and both Swap Accounts), any REO Property, and any proceeds of the foregoing.  The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC II.  The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC III.  The REMIC III Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC IV (the “Master REMIC”).  The Class R Certificate shall represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC formed hereby.  For purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each regular interest created hereby shall be the 36th month following the latest maturity date of any Loan held in the Trust on the Closing Date.

(1)  The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for the T2-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates of the regular interests in REMIC I other than any interest-only regular interest (the “REMIC Net WAC Rate”).

(2)  The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for this interest is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate, and (ii) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

(3)  For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate.

(4)  This interest shall be an interest-only interest.  This interest shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the T1-Subs-IO interest.

(5)  This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interests over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of all remaining REMIC II Regular Interests.

(6)  These interests shall have an initial principal balance equal to one-half of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates.

(7)  The R-II interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest.  The R-II interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC II.  

(8)  This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC II based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(a)  First, to the T2-A interest until the outstanding principal balance of such interest is reduced to zero, and

(b)  Second, sequentially, to the other REMIC II Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC II Regular Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such REMIC II Regular Interest, until the principal balance of each is reduced to zero.

REMIC III:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC III, each of which (other than the R-III interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC III (the “REMIC III Regular Interests”):

(1)  The interest rate for each of these interests (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than any interest-only regular interest), provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class T3-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC II Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC II interest to a cap equal to the product of the interest rate used to compute the Net Swap Payment for the Certificate Swap Agreement adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate (“Swap LIBOR”) for such Distribution Date and 2.

(2)  The Class T3-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance.  For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class T3-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC II 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 such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

(3)  This interest shall be an interest-only interest.  This interest shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the T2-Subs-IO interest.

(4)  The R-III interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The R-III interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC III.

(5)  This interest is a REMIC III Accretion Directed Class.

(6)  This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to one-half of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(7)  This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC III Accretion Directed Classes.

(8)  This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC III based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the T3-Accrual Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions of principal described below.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the T3-Accrual Interest.    

On each Distribution Date the principal distributed on the interests in REMIC II (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the T3-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC III in the following order of priority:

(a)  First, to each interest in REMIC III having a Corresponding Class in REMIC IV until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of such Corresponding Class for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b)  Second, to the T3-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.

(1)  This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(2)  The T4-X interest has a notional balance equal to the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC III Regular Interests.  The interest rate of the T4-X interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Loans to accrue on the T4-X interest that is in excess of the total amount of interest that accrues on each other regular interest in REMIC IV.  For any Distribution Date, the interest rate in respect of the T4-X interest shall be the excess of: (i) the weighted average interest rate of all interests in REMIC III (other than any interest-only regular interest) over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the REMIC III Accretion Directed Classes and the T3-Accrual Interest, where the T3-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each REMIC III Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, (i) the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof and (ii) the margin of the Pass-Through Rate of the Class A-1 Certificates shall be computed as if the Swap Agreement had been terminated.  The T4-X interest shall also be entitled to principal equal to the excess of the sum of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the Original Pre-Funded Amount over the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of the other Certificates the Closing Date.  Such principal balance shall not bear interest.  In addition, the T4-X interest shall be entitled to receive interest accrued on the Class T3-A-1 interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.12% per annum on or before the first Optional Termination Date and 0.24% thereafter.  Finally, the T4-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all amounts payable on the T3-Subs-IO and T3-IO interests.

(3)  This interest shall bear interest at the Pass-Through Rate for its Corresponding Class of Certificates, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof and, in the case of the Class A-1 Certificates, such rate shall be determined as if the Swap Agreement had been terminated.

(4)  The T3-P interest shall not be entitled to payments of interest, but shall be entitled to receive all Trust Prepayment Charges in respect of the Loans.  

(5)  REMIC IV shall also issue the R-IV interest, which shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The R-IV interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC IV.

(6)  For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class of Certificates corresponding to an interest in the Master REMIC shall represent beneficial ownership of such interest in the Master REMIC.  Any amount distributed on a Corresponding Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates shall be treated as having been paid from the Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable, and any amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on that Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 10.1(l) hereof.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC IV based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the principal distributed on the REMIC III interests  shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC IV in an amount equal to the principal distributions and Realized Loss allocations for such Distribution Date with respect to the Corresponding Class of Certificates related to such interests, determined without regard to either Swap Agreement.

Section 2.3  Repurchase or Substitution of Loans.  

(a)  Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Loan that materially and adversely affects the value of such Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document, cure such defect or breach within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan in the form of Exhibit 3 to the related Custodial Agreement, shall release or cause the applicable Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Loan) and substitute one or more Substitute Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the representation made by the Seller in Section 6(xxiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is breached, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to repurchase such Loan at the Purchase Price, or to provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by any such Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law) within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such breach.

In addition, should the Master Servicer become aware of  or in the event of its receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Seller set forth in Section 5(x) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(b)  Any substitution of Substitute Loans for Deleted Loans made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for the REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Substitute Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Substitute Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreements, as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Substitute Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Substitute Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, an initial certification pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by the Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Substitute Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Substitute Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the Due Date in the month of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute Loan or Loans and certification by the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the applicable Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan in the form of Exhibit 3 to the related Custodial Agreement, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(c)  Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or substitute one or more Substitute Loans for the affected Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Seller, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller or the Depositor the Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

(d)  Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Loan or Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

Section 2.4  Authentication and Delivery of Certificates; Designation of Certificates as REMIC Regular and Residual Interests.  

(a)  The Trustee acknowledges the transfer to the extent provided herein and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused the Securities Administrator to execute and authenticate and has delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Fund, Certificates evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

(b)  This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated. The “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in REMIC IV shall consist of the REMIC IV Regular Interests. The “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in REMIC IV shall consist of the R-IV interest.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE LOANS; ACCOUNTS

Section 3.1  Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.3 and any other information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Distribution Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not have any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement that a Servicer is a party to (a “Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement”) or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk Manager under any such Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by the applicable Servicer pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form reasonably acceptable to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service or master service and administer the related Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for any cost, liability or expense arising from the misuse thereof by the Master Servicer or such Servicer.

The Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator shall 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 Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s, a Custodian’s or the Securities Administrator’s actual costs.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable and, in each case, provided to the Trustee by such Servicer or Master Servicer to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any other Loan Document; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise available at law or equity. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the willful malfeasance or any wrongful or negligent actions taken by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in respect of any document delivered by the Trustee under this paragraph, and the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense arising from the misuse thereof by the Master Servicer or such Servicer.

Section 3.2  REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall treat such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel stating that such sale will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section 10.1(f) hereof prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund, and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Assignment Agreements or Section 2.3 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section 10.1(f) hereof.

Section 3.3  Monitoring of Servicers.  

(a)  The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement.  In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of any Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement.  In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Seller and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate; provided, however that if the defaulting Servicer is Wells Fargo, the Trustee shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)  The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo) fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided however that if the defaulting servicer is Wells Fargo, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer and enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by it provided, further that, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed ninety (90) days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Loans.  The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received indemnity reasonably acceptable to it for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)  To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, if applicable, related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, if applicable with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the related Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, if applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

(d)  The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

(e)  If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, acts as successor Servicer, it shall not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

Section 3.4  Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, 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.  Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond may not be cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.

Section 3.5  Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.3, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC.  The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney, in form acceptable to the Trustee, empowering the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer or the related Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for the misuse of any such powers of attorney or any other executed documents delivered by the Trustee pursuant to this paragraph by the Master Servicer or any Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such misuse).  If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof.  In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action authorized pursuant to this Agreement to be taken by it in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 3.6  Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the extent Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.7  Release of Mortgage Files.  

(a)  Upon becoming aware of  a Payoff with respect to any Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that a Payoff has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the applicable Servicer will (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement, and signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File.  Upon receipt of such certification and request, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and applicable Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File.  Upon any such Payoff, each Servicer is authorized to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account.

(b)  From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.  The applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.  Such request for release shall obligate such Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the related Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to such Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 3.8  Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)  All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer, in respect of any Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Loan where the terms of the Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24.

Section 3.10  Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under any insurance policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Loan to the insurer under any applicable insurance policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.11  Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.  

(a)  The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy or any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b)  The Master Servicer agrees to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any primary mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policies respecting defaulted Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.22 and 3.23, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any primary mortgage insurance policies shall be deposited by the related Servicer in its Protected Account or by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.22 or 3.24, as applicable.

Section 3.12  Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.  

The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any primary mortgage insurance policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement.  Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Custodial Agreement.

(a)  By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria.  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.  

(b)  Promptly after receipt of such report from the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties, (i) the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with such parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of any of each such party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable agreement, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 3.17 is coupled with an attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.

(c)  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer as set forth in the related Servicing Agreement to deliver to the Master Servicer an attestation within the time frame set forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant to, the related Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall include each such attestation with its own attestation to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section.

(d)  Failure of the Master Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.18(a) shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same.  This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Section 3.19  Annual Certification.

(a)  Each Form 10-K required to be filed for the Trust pursuant to Section 3.29 shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”) required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall, and 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 L, 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 Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust.  Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at www.cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com or by facsimile at 410-715-2380.  In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable subservicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 3.19 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable subservicing agreement, as the case may be, and a compliance statement, an assessment of compliance and attestation pursuant to Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18, notwithstanding such termination or resignation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not be required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the same Person and the Master Servicer is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the event that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be furnished pursuant to this Section or any Servicing Agreement or  Custodial Agreement.

(b)  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer as 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 3.21  Obligation of the Master Servicer in Respect of Compensating Interest.  

The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account not later than each Distribution Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicers under the Servicing Agreements with respect to Compensating Interest on the related Loans for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the related Servicers and (ii) the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date without reimbursement therefor.

Section 3.22  Protected Accounts.  

(a)  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected Account in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with respect thereto on a Loan by Loan basis, into which accounts shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the related Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of principal and interest on any Loan and with respect to any REO Property received by a Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and advances made from the Servicer’s own funds (less servicing compensation as permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement in the case of any Servicer) and all other amounts to be deposited in the Protected Account. Each Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and deposits to the related Protected Account for purposes required or permitted by the related Servicing Agreement. To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the Protected Account shall be held in a depository institution and segregated on the books of such institution in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders.

(b)  To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, amounts on deposit in a Protected Account may be invested in Eligible Investments in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, except as provided in the preceding paragraph, not commingled with any other funds, such Eligible Investments to mature, or to be subject to redemption or withdrawal, no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn for deposit in the Distribution Account, and shall be held until required for such deposit. The income earned from Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 3.22 shall be paid to the related Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, and the amounts required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from the loss of monies on such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The related Servicer (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Protected Account within two Business Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator.

(c)  To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement and subject to this Article III, on or before each Servicer Remittance Date, the related Servicer shall withdraw or shall cause to be withdrawn from the Protected Accounts and shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the Distribution Account amounts representing the following collections and payments (other than with respect to principal of or interest on the Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date):

(i)  Monthly Payments on the Loans received or any related portion thereof advanced by the Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements which were due on or before the related Due Date, net of the amount thereof comprising the Servicing Fees;

(ii)  Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries received by the Servicers with respect to such Loans in the related Prepayment Period, Compensating Interest and the amount of any related Prepayment Charges; and

(iii)  Any amount to be used as an Advance.

(d)  Withdrawals may be made from a Protected Account or the Distribution Account only to make remittances as provided in Sections 3.23(c) and 3.24 or as otherwise provided in the Servicing Agreements, to reimburse the Master Servicer or a Servicer for Advances which have been recovered by subsequent collection from the related Mortgagor, to remove amounts deposited in error; to remove fees, charges or other such amounts deposited on a temporary basis, or to clear and terminate the account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1.  As provided in Sections 3.23(c) and 3.24(b) or as otherwise provided in the Servicing Agreements certain amounts otherwise due to the Servicers may be retained by them and need not be deposited in the Distribution Account.

Section 3.23  Distribution Account.  

(a)  The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:

(i)  Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected Account;

(ii)  Any Advance and any amounts in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Curtailment Shortfalls;

(iii)  Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer;

(iv)  The Purchase Price with respect to any Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 and all proceeds of any Loans or property acquired with respect thereto purchased by the Terminator pursuant to Section 9.1;

(v)  Any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or any Servicer with respect to losses on investments of deposits in an Account; and

(vi)  Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)  All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges, need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(c)  The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Securities Administrator and held by the Securities Administrator in trust in its Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Securities Administrator (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Securities Administrator).  The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account shall be invested in the name of the Master Servicer, in such Eligible Investments selected by the Master Servicer or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as selected by the Master Servicer, provided that time deposits of such depository institutions would be an Eligible Investment. All Eligible Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the Distribution Date following the date of the investment of such funds (the “Investment Withdrawal Distribution Date”) if the obligor for such Eligible Investment is the Securities Administrator or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Investment Withdrawal Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date. If there is any loss on an Eligible Investment or demand deposit, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amount from its own funds in the Distribution Account. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the Certificateholders shall be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a claim against the estate of the Securities Administrator) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

Section 3.24  Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Distribution Account.  

(a)  The Securities Administrator shall, from time to time on demand of the Master Servicer make or cause to be made such withdrawals or transfers from the Distribution Account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to the Servicing Agreements for the following purposes, not in any order of priority:

(i)  to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any Advance of its own funds, the right of the Master Servicer or a Servicer to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts received on a particular Loan (including, for this purpose, the Purchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late payments or recoveries of the principal of or interest on such Loan respecting which such Advance was made;

(ii)  to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds relating to a particular Loan for amounts expended by the Master Servicer or such Servicer in good faith in connection with the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property which was damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of such Loan;

(iii)  to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from Insurance Proceeds relating to a particular Loan for insured expenses incurred with respect to such Loan and to reimburse the Master Servicer or such Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds from a particular Loan for Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect to such Loan;

(iv)  to pay the Master Servicer or any Servicer, as appropriate, from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds received in connection with the liquidation of any Loan, the amount which it or such Servicer would have been entitled to receive under subclause (vii) of this Subsection (a) as servicing compensation on account of each defaulted scheduled payment on such Loan if paid in a timely manner by the related Mortgagor;

(v)  to pay the Master Servicer or any Servicer from the Purchase Price for any Loan, the amount which it or such Servicer would have been entitled to receive under subclause (vii) of this Subsection (a) as servicing compensation;

(vi)  to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with respect to the related Loan if the Advance or Servicing Advance has not been reimbursed pursuant to clause (i);

(vii)  to pay the Master Servicing Compensation to the Master Servicer, the Servicing Fee to the Servicers (to the extent such Servicing Fee was not retained by a Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement), the Credit Risk Management Fee to the Credit Risk Manager for such Distribution Date and to reimburse the Master Servicer for premiums payable in connection with any lender paid mortgage insurance and for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Sections 3.3, 6.3, 8.5 and 10.1.

(viii)  to reimburse or pay any Servicer any such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement;

(ix)  to reimburse the Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator for expenses, costs and liabilities, if any, incurred by or reimbursable to such parties pursuant to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreements;

(x)  to remove amounts deposited in error; and

(xi)  to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.1.

(b)  The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Loan by Loan basis, for the purpose of accounting for any reimbursement from the Distribution Account pursuant to subclauses (i) through (v), inclusive, or with respect to any such amounts which would have been covered by such subclauses had the amounts not been retained by the Master Servicer without being deposited in the Distribution Account under Section 3.23(b).

(c)  On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Available Distribution Amount to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1.

Section 3.25  Reserve Fund.

(a)  No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Reserve Fund, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates”.   On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit or cause to be deposited into the Reserve Fund an amount equal to $1,000.

(b)  On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates  or the Class M Certificates, the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 4.1(a)(iii)(f), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders.  On each such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.1(a)(iv).  

(c)  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC IV to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees.  The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Class M Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

(d)  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees that the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders.  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that its agreement to such action by the Securities Administrator is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e)  The Securities Administrator, as directed by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certifictaes, shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) 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, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment.  If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without liability for interest or compensation.  All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund.  In no event shall the Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this clause (e).

Section 3.26  Pre-Funding Account.

(a)  No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a trust account which at all times shall be an Eligible Account and shall be titled “Pre-Funding Account, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates” (the “Pre-Funding Account”).  The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Pre-Funding Account and retain therein the Original Pre-Funded Amount remitted on the Closing Date by the Depositor.  Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein.

(b)  The Securities Administrator will invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account only as directed in writing by the Depositor (and such amounts shall not be invested if no direction is received by Securities Administrator) in Permitted Investments with a maturity date (i) 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, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment or (iii) within one (1) Business Day of the Securities Administrator’s receipt thereof.  For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Account and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom.  All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Account shall be transferred to the Depositor.  The Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding Account the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss without any right of reimbursement therefor.  At no time will the Pre-Funding Account be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder.

(c)  Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator as follows:

(i)  On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the Principal Balances of the related Subsequent Loans as of the Subsequent Cut-Off Date, transferred and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Trust Fund on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6 with respect to such transfer and assignment;

(ii)  If the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) has not been reduced to zero during the Pre-Funding Period, on the Distribution Date immediately following the termination of the Pre-Funding Period, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of any investment income therein) for distribution in accordance with the terms hereof;

(iii)  To withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in the Pre-Funding Account or deposited therein in error; and

(iv)  To clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Account upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Distribution Date immediately following the end of the Pre-Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement, with any amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders of the Class A Certificates then entitled to distributions in respect of principal.

Withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be treated as contributions of cash to REMIC I on the date of withdrawal.

Section 3.27  Capitalized Interest Account.

(a)  No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a trust account which shall at all times be an Eligible Account and shall be titled “Capitalized Interest Account, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates” (the “Capitalized Interest Account”).  The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account and retain therein the Original Capitalized Interest Amount remitted on the Closing Date by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Capitalized Interest Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein.

(b)  The Securities Administrator will invest funds deposited in the Capitalized Interest Account only as directed in writing by the Depositor (and such amounts shall not be invested if no direction is received by the Securities Administrator) in writing in Permitted Investments with a maturity date (i) 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, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment or (iii) within one (1) Business Day of the Securities Administrator’s receipt thereof.  The amount of any losses in the Capitalized Interest Account incurred in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Depositor in the Capitalized Interest Account.  All income or gain realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account shall be credited to the Capitalized Interest Account.  At no time will the Capitalized Interest Account be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder.

(c)  On each Distribution Account Deposit Date during the Pre-Funding Period, upon satisfaction of the conditions for the conveyance of Subsequent Loans set forth in Section 2.6, the Securities Administrator shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Distribution Account an amount equal to the lesser of the Capitalized Interest Requirement (which, to the extent required, may include investment earnings on amounts on deposit therein) and the amount remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account for the related Distribution Date.  If any funds remain in the Capitalized Interest Account at the end of the Pre-Funding Period, the Securities Administrator shall make the transfer described in the preceding sentence if necessary for the Distribution Date following the expiration of the Pre-Funding Period and the Securities Administrator shall distribute any remaining funds in the Capitalized Interest Account to the order of the Depositor.

Section 3.28  Prepayment Penalty Verification.  

On or prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the respective Servicing Agreement, provide in an electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer the data necessary for the Master Servicer to perform its verification duties agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Depositor.  The Master Servicer or a third party reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor (the “Verification Agent”) will perform such verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its findings in a report (the “Verification Report”) delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable to issue the Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the Distribution Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its verification duties.  The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report to the respective Servicer and shall notify such Servicer if the Master Servicer has determined that such Servicer did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment Charges to the Master Servicer in accordance with the respective Servicing Agreement.  Such written notification from the Master Servicer shall include the loan number, prepayment penalty code and prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Loan for which there is a discrepancy.  If the respective Servicer agrees with the verified amounts, such Servicer shall adjust the immediately succeeding Remittance Report and the amount remitted to the Master Servicer with respect to prepayments accordingly.  If the respective Servicer disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, such Servicer shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed information to support such Servicer’s position.  The respective Servicer and the Master Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, and such Servicer will indicate the effect of such resolution on the related Remittance Report and shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer Remittance Date accordingly.

During such time as the respective Servicer and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to remit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.  In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the respective Servicer in accordance with this Section.  The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to it by the respective Servicer or for performing the Master Servicer’s duties under this Section 3.28 with respect to a Servicer if such Servicer is unable or unwilling to provide the required data to the Master Servicer or is not required to provide such information to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.29  Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a)  (i)  Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act.  The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Remittance Report attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit K-1 to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

(ii)  As set forth on Exhibit K-1 hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (A) the parties to the Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4 transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit N hereto (an “Additional Disclosure Notification”) and (B) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D.  The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.  

(iii)  After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided that such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure).  Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D.  In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D.  An authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D.

An officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare , execute  and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or 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.

(iv)  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.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying  party on the other.  This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, this Section 3.29 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.

Section 3.30  Special Servicing.

Upon any Mortgage Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Majority Class CE Certificateholder shall have the option to transfer servicing with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to a Special Servicer. Immediately upon the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall service such Mortgage Loan in accordance with (i) all provisions of this Agreement which were applicable to the former Servicer prior to such transfer of servicing and (ii) any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the exercise of such option and with respect to Mortgage Loans that currently or subsequently become ninety (90) days or more delinquent, servicing on such Mortgage Loans will transfer to the Special Servicer, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer and Credit Risk Manager, without any further action by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder.  Any Special Servicer Agreement shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies and will not modify any material terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, increasing the Servicing Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement. If any Mortgage Loan is serviced by the Special Servicer and subsequently becomes less than ninety (90) days delinquent, such Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement exclusively, without regard to any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the appointment of the Special Servicer, all provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against the Special Servicer as if such Special Servicer were an original signatory and party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the transfer of servicing with respect to any such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the former Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to such Mortgage Loan.  Any costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Special Servicer Agreement and the transfer of servicing to a Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder (or, if the Majority Class CE Certificateholder fails to make prompt reimbursement, then from amounts due to the Class CE Certificates under this Agreement).  In the event that a Special Servicer is appointed under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled with respect to such Special Servicer and its related Special Servicer Agreement, to all the benefits, rights, indemnities and limitations on liability accorded to them under this Agreement in respect of the Servicer.

Section 3.31  Purchase of Delinquent Loans.

Upon a Mortgage Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) may be terminated as Servicer with respect to that Mortgage Loan at the sole option of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder and all servicing rights and responsibilities, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer, will transfer to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.30.  If the Majority Class CE Certificateholder does not exercise such option with respect to any such Mortgage Loan and has not exercised such option previously, within ninety (90) days following the date on which such Mortgage Loan became 90 days delinquent, the Servicer shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however that prior to such purchase the Servicer shall have (i) determined in good faith that such Mortgage Loan would otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings and (ii) provided evidence of such determination in writing to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee.  The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Majority Class CE Certificateholder exercises its rights under Section 3.30, the Servicer will no longer have the right to purchase any Mortgage Loans that become ninety (90) days or more delinquent.

Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs and Monthly Payments on the Loans and Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received and expected to be received during the applicable Prepayment Period, the Securities Administrator believes that the entire remaining unpaid Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall become distributable on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, as early as practicable prior to the Determination Date of the month of such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on the Record Date, to the Underwriter, and to each Rating Agency a notice to the effect that:  (i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final distribution shall be available in the Distribution Account on such Distribution Date, and  (ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution shall be payable on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after such Distribution Date.

Section 4.2  Allocation of Realized Losses.  

Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, based solely on the information provided by the related Servicer, shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Loan.

Realized Losses on the Loans for any Distribution Date will first, cause a reduction in Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow for that Distribution Date, second, reduce the available cap payments from the Cap Provider and available Net Swap Payments from the Swap Providers, if any, for that Distribution Date, and third cause a reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates for that Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.  To the extent that Realized Losses on a Distribution Date cause the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, Class M and Class P Certificates, after taking into account all distributions on such Distribution Date, to exceed the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans (including amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account) as of the last day of the related Due Period, such excess will be allocated first, to the Class M-8 Certificates, second, to the Class M-7 Certificates, third, to the Class M-6 Certificates, fourth, to the Class M-5 certificates, fifth to the Class M-4 Certificates; sixth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, seventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates; eighth, to the Class M-1 Certificates and ninth, to the Class A-3 Certificates, and in each case to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance thereof until it has been reduced to zero. In addition, to the extent the related Servicer receives Subsequent Recoveries with respect to any defaulted Loan, the amount of the Realized Loss with respect to that defaulted Loan will be reduced to the extent such Subsequent Recoveries are applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class A-3 Certificate or Class M Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of such Distribution Date after all distributions on such Distribution Date have been made.  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii)(h). No allocations of Realized Losses shall be made to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class P Certificates.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class A-3 Certificate or Class M Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to the Class A-3 Certificate or Class M Certificate in respect of Realized Losses and (ii) payable as principal to the Holder of the Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow.

As used herein, any allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

Any Subsequent Recoveries collected by the Servicers will be distributed as part of the Available Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities described under Section 4.1.  In addition, the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates that has been reduced by the allocation of a Realized Loss to such Certificate will be increased, [on a pro rata basis based on the related Allocated Realized Loss Amount with respect to the Class A Certificates], and in order of seniority with respect to the Class M Certificates, by the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries, but only to the extent that such Certificate has not been reimbursed for the amount of such Realized Loss (or a portion thereof) allocated to such Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow.  Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs.

All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate effected by distributions of principal or allocations of Realized Losses with respect to Loans made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted on such Certificate.

Section 4.3  Statements to Certificateholders.  

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall provide or make available, upon request to each Holder of a Certificate, a statement (each, a “Remittance Report”) as to the distributions made to such Certificateholders on such Distribution Date setting forth:

15.  the total number and principal balance of any REO Properties as of the end of the related Prepayment Period;

16.  the cumulative Realized Losses through the end of the preceding month;

17.  the three-month rolling average of the percent equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans that are 60 days or more delinquent or are in bankruptcy or foreclosure or are REO Properties, and the denominator of which is the Scheduled Principal Balances of all of the Loans;

The Securities Administrator shall make such statement (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, and the Rating Agencies via the Securities Administrator’s internet website. The Securities Administrator’s internet website shall initially be located at http:\\www.ctslink.com and assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk at 1-301-815-6600. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Interest Certificate a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (4) and (5) above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate a statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.

On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall provide Bloomberg Financial Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) CUSIP level factors for each Class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date, using a format and media mutually acceptable to the Securities Administrator and Bloomberg.

Section 4.4  Advances.  

If the Monthly Payment on a Loan or a portion thereof is delinquent as of its Due Date, other than as a result of interest shortfalls due to bankruptcy proceedings or application of the Relief Act, and the related Servicer fails to make a Monthly Advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that are held for future distribution, not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such delinquency, net of the Servicing Fee and Master Servicing Fee for such Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Distribution Account on or before any future Distribution Account Deposit Date to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Distribution Account Deposit Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.1 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under its Servicing Agreement.  In the event the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance because the Master Servicer deems such Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to this Section 4.4, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 4.5  Compliance with Withholding Requirements.  

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator reasonably believe are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Securities Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

Section 4.6  REMIC Distributions.

(a)  On each Distribution Date, amounts shall be allocated to the interests in each of the REMICs as set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.  

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Certificate Swap Account. The Certificate Swap Account shall be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Swap Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders.  The Certificate Swap Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC.

Upon receipt of any amounts paid under the Certificate Swap Agreement, and following any distributions of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii) above, withdrawals from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv) above and withdrawals from the Cap Account pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(vi) above, the Securities Administrator shall deposit such amounts into the Certificate Swap Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(vii) above.

In the event that the Certificate Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the Certificate Swap Agreement), the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, at the direction of the Depositor, shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Certificate Swap Provider. To the extent the Supplemental Interest Trust is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Certificate Swap Provider, all or a portion of such amount received from a replacement swap provider upon entering into a replacement interest rate swap agreement or similar agreement will be applied to the Swap Termination Payment owing to the Certificate Swap Provider, and any remaining portion will be distributed to Certificateholders according to the order of priorities of Section 4.1(a)(vii) above.  If the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust is unable to locate a qualified successor swap provider, any such Swap Termination Payments will be deposited in the Certificate Swap Account and the Securities Administrator, on each subsequent Distribution Date (until the termination date of the Certificate Swap Agreement or the appointment of a successor swap provider), will withdraw the amount of any Net Swap Payment due to the Supplemental Interest Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Swap Agreement) and distribute such Net Swap Payment to the holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1.

Section 4.9  Class A-1 Swap Account.  

No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplement Interest Trust and the Class A-1 and Class CE Certificateholders, a separate, segregated trust account (the “Class A-1 Swap Account”) titled, “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Securities Administrator, in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class A-1 and Class CE Certificates—Class A-1 Swap Account”.  Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.  

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Class A-1 Swap Account. The Class A-1 Swap Account shall be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificate and the Subordinate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-1 Swap Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders.  The Class A-1 Swap Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC.

Upon receipt of any amounts paid under the Class A-1 Swap Agreement, and following any distributions of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii) above, withdrawals from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv) above, the Cap Account pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(vi) above and Certificate Swap Account, pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(vii) above, the Securities Administrator shall deposit such amounts into the Class A-1 Swap Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(viii) above.

In the event that the Class A-1 Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the Class A-1 Swap Agreement), the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, at the direction of the Depositor, shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Class A-1 Swap Provider. To the extent the Supplemental Interest Trust is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Class A-1 Swap Provider, all or a portion of such amount received from a replacement swap provider upon entering into a replacement interest rate swap agreement or similar agreement will be applied to the Swap Termination Payment owing to the Class A-1 Swap Provider, and any remaining portion will be distributed to Certificateholders according to the order of priorities of Section 4.1(a)(viii) above.  If the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust is unable to locate a qualified successor swap provider, any such Swap Termination Payments will be deposited in the Class A-1 Swap Account and the Securities Administrator, on each subsequent Distribution Date (until the termination date of the Class A-1 Swap Agreement or the appointment of a successor swap provider), will withdraw the amount of any Net Swap Payment due to the Supplemental Interest Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Class A-1 Swap Agreement) and distribute such Net Swap Payment to the holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1.

Three Business Days prior to each Distribution Date on which any amount will be distributed from the Class A-1 Swap Account to the Class A-1 Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(viii), the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount of any Class A-1 Amount for that Distribution Date and report such Class A-1 Amount to the Class A-1 Swap Provider on that same day in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 11.5 hereof; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall be under no obligation to report such Class A-1 Amount to the Class A-1 Swap Provider unless it has first received the Cap Agreement Report or Certificate Swap Report for such Distribution Date.

Section 4.10  Cap Account.

No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplement Interest Trust, a separate, segregated trust account (the “Cap Account”) titled, “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Securities Administrator, in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-AR4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates—Cap Account”.  Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.  

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Cap Account. The Cap Agreement shall be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificate and the Subordinate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Cap Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders.  The Cap Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the holders of the Class A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates from the Cap Account shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Upon receipt of any amounts paid under the Cap Agreement, and following any distributions of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii) above and withdrawals from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv) above, the Securities Administrator shall deposit such amounts into the Cap Account for distribution pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(vi) above.

Section 4.11  Supplemental Interest Trust

A separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), for the benefit of the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  The Supplemental Interest Trust shall hold the Cap Account, the Certificate Swap Account and the Class A-1 Swap Account.  The Supplemental Interest Trust shall not be a part of any REMIC created by this Agreement.

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 (if so required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b)  Except as provided herein, 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 such 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 Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such 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 for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee and 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; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and either the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

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 Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c)  If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Securities Administrator, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 66% advise the Securities Administrator and Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Holders of Book-Entry Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall, at the Depositor’s expense, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, or the Master Servicer’s expense, in the case of (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)  No Transfer of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the 1933 Act and such state securities laws. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.  Each Holder of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator and the Master 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.

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

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

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

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any  liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.3(e) 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.

(f)  Each Transferee of a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of the related Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Transferee of a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)  Each such Transferee 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 Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii)  In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A)  an affidavit in the form of Exhibit C hereto from the proposed Transferee to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B)  a covenant of the proposed Transferee to the effect that the proposed Transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates.

(iv)  Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported Transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate.  The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Class R 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 Securities Administrator received the documents specified in clause (iii).  The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Securities Administrator determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of Class R interests to Disqualified Organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.  The Holder of the Class R Certificate issued hereunder, while not a Disqualified Organization, is the Tax Matters Person.

(g)  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, 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 Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Securities Administrator and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 5.4  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or (ii) the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save 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 Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Trustee or 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 connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.5  Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 6.3  Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator and Others.  

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicers shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreements, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or in the Servicing Agreements, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicers pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicers may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement, or any loss, liability or expense incurred by any of such Persons other than by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any Custodian or any Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with 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 (except 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) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians, the Servicers and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Distribution Account as and to the extent provided in Article III, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Distribution Account.

Section 6.4  Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.  

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.5  Assignment of Master Servicing.  

The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that:  (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

Section 6.6  Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.  

The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee the most recent financial statements of its parent and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses. To the extent the Depositor and the Trustee are informed that such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.7  Duties of the Credit Risk Manager

For and on behalf of the Depositor, pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Loans.  Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the related Servicer and/or Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Loans.  Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.

Section 6.8  Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by a Servicer under a Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its duties.  The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager 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, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by a Servicer pursuant to a Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

Section 6.9  Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by Certificateholders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Classes of Certificates, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion.  The Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trustee.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

Section 6.10  Transfer of Servicing by the Seller of Certain Loans Serviced by GMAC; Special Servicer.

(a)  The Seller may, at its option, transfer the servicing responsibilities of GMACM as a Servicer with respect to the Loans serviced pursuant to the GMACM Servicing Agreement at any time without cause. No such transfer shall become effective unless and until a successor to GMACM shall have been appointed to service and administer the related Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of the GMACM Servicing Agreement or a servicing agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies. No appointment shall be effective unless (i) such successor to GMACM meets the eligibility criteria set forth in this Section 6.10, (ii) the Master Servicer shall have consented to such appointment, (iii) the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that such appointment will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates and (iv) all amounts reimbursable to GMACM under the GMACM Servicing Agreement shall have been paid to GMACM, and all servicing transfer costs incurred by the Master Servicer shall have been paid to it, by the successor appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.10 or by the Seller including without limitation, all unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by GMACM and all out-of-pocket expenses of GMACM incurred in connection with the transfer of servicing to such successor. The Seller shall provide a copy of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the servicing agreement executed by such successor to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Credit Risk Manager and the Master Servicer.  In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Seller may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted GMACM under the GMACM Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor to GMACM appointed under this Agreement with respect to the Loans serviced pursuant to the GMACM Servicing Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of GMACM (other than liabilities of GMACM incurred prior to the transfer of servicing from GMACM) under the GMACM Servicing Agreement in connection with the servicing and administration of the related Loans or a servicing agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies.

(b)  In addition, if any Loan serviced by GMACM becomes ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Seller shall have the option to transfer servicing with respect to such delinquent Loan to a Special Servicer. Immediately upon the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer with respect to any Loan, the Special Servicer shall service such Loan in accordance with the GMACM Servicing Agreement and a Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the exercise of such option and with respect to Loans that currently or subsequently become ninety (90) days or more delinquent, servicing on such Loans will transfer to the Special Servicer, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer, without any further action by the Seller.  Any Special Servicer Agreement shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies and will not modify any material terms of the GMACM Servicing Agreement, including but not limited to, increasing the Servicing Fee which was payable to GMACM with respect to such Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the transfer of servicing with respect to any such Loan to the Special Servicer, GMACM (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to such Loan.  If any Loan is serviced by the Special Servicer and subsequently becomes less than ninety (90) days delinquent, such Loan shall be serviced by the Special Servicer in accordance with the GMACM Servicing Agreement exclusively, without regard to any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the appointment of the Special Servicer all provisions of the GMACM Servicing Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against the Special Servicer as if such Special Servicer was an original signatory and party to the GMACM Servicing Agreement. Any costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Special Servicer Agreement and the transfer of servicing to a Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Seller.  In the event that a Special Servicer is appointed under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled with respect to such Special Servicer and its related Special Servicer Agreement, to all the benefits, rights, indemnities and limitations on liability accorded to them under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement in respect of GMACM.

DEFAULT

Section 7.1  Master Servicer Events of Default.  

(a)  “Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i)  [Reserved];

(ii)  any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.5, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights; or

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

(vii)  failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 of this Agreement.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, if a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement (and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) 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 Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement.  The Trustee shall immediately notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

Section 7.2  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.  

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.3 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.23(c)), including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.4; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Trustee determines that such advance would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.4; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.1 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder and neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated master servicer.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment earnings on the Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates so request in writing promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. The transition costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the replacement of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) shall be reimbursed out of the Trust.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or Master Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee or Master Servicing Fee paid hereunder or under the applicable Servicing Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer or successor master servicer to act as successor servicer or successor master servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.3  Notification to Certificateholders.  

(a)  Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.2 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)  Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.4  Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.  

The Holders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (vi) of Section 7.1 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Interest Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 8.1  Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.  

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. During the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, 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 its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the Trustee shall provide notice to the Certificateholders.

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

(i)  Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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, in aggregate, not less than 25% (or such other percentage set forth in this Agreement) of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

(iv)  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v)  Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;

(viii)  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(ix)  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Certificates and this Agreement;

(x)  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(xi)  In no event shall the Trustee be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility of such damages; and

(xii)  No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties  hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(b)  [Reserved].

(c)  All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)  The Trustee may request that the Depositor provide reasonable instructions to the Trustee in connection with an action to be performed by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement but for which the Trustee is unclear, and the Depositor shall comply with any such reasonable request.

Section 8.3  Trustee and Securities Administrator not Liable for Certificates or Loans.  

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Securities Administrator, the authentication of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.12) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representations or warranties as to, and has no liability with respect to, the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section 8.12) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Securities Administrator and authentication of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates), or of any Loan or related document.

Each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with other interested parties and their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator.

Section 8.5  Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Securities Administrator.  

The fees of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereunder and of Wells Fargo as the Custodian under the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement or of DBNTC as the Custodian under the DBNTC Custodial Agreement shall be paid in accordance with a side letter agreement with the Master Servicer and at the sole expense of the Master Servicer. In addition, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Custodians and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Custodians shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in connection with any administration to be performed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement or other agreements related hereto (including, without limitation, the Swap Agreement) and any claim or legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its respective obligations and duties under this Agreement, including other agreements related hereto, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) for which the Trustee is indemnified by the Master Servicer, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, pursuant to Section 10.1(g) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence by the Trustee, or Securities Administrator, respectively, in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from REMIC I therefor.

Section 8.6  Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Securities Administrator.  

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall at all times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any 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 (or a member of a bank holding company whose capital and surplus is at least $50,000,000), subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having a credit rating satisfactory to each Rating Agency.  If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 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 conditions so published.  In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7.

Additionally, the Securities Administrator (i) may not be an originator, Master Servicer, Servicer, the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor unless the Securities Administrator is in an institutional trust department, (ii) must be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (iii) must be rated at least “A/F1” by Fitch, if Fitch is a Rating Agency, or the equivalent rating by S&P or Moody’s (or such rating acceptable to Fitch pursuant to a rating confirmation).  If no successor securities administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Securities Administrator, ceases to be the securities administrator pursuant to this Section 8.6, then the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Trust, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor securities administrator, and prior to such appointment, the Trustee shall act as a successor securities administrator provided, that it shall only be responsible for duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to Article 4 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Securities Administrator.  

Section 8.7  Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Securities Administrator.  

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, to the Master Servicer, to the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and to the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, successor securities administrator, Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.

If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable and appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator.

The Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee (in the case of the removal of the Securities Administrator), the Securities Administrator (in the case of the removal of the Trustee) and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with its removal without cause hereunder shall be reimbursed to it by the Trust Fund.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.8.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall at all times be the same Person.

Section 8.8  Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.  

Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.7 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator 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 or securities administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator shall deliver to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator all Loan Documents and related documents and statements to the extent held by it hereunder, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator 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 or successor securities administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 and the appointment of such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor securities administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, the successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Section 8.9  Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator.  

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6, 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 8.10  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property securing the same 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 approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, and for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.6 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.8 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting 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 REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust 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.

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 or co-trustee.

Section 8.11  Appointment of Office or Agency.  

The Securities Administrator shall appoint an office or agency in the City of Minneapolis located at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution and where notices and demands to or upon the Securities Administrator in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.

Section 8.12  Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.  

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor as applicable, as of the Closing Date, that:

(i)  It is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.

(ii)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its articles of incorporation or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

(iii)  It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv)  This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(v)  It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

(vi)  No litigation is pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

TERMINATION

Section 9.1  Termination Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Loans.  

(a)  Subject to Section 9.2, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 8.5 and of the Master Servicer to pay Compensating Interest to the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator to make payments in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer (the “Terminator”) of all Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof and (b) December 2039.  The purchase by the Terminator of all Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Loans included in REMIC I, plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC I, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and the Securities Administrator in their reasonable discretion and (B) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I (as determined by the Terminator and the Securities Administrator, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 10.1), (ii) any amounts due the Servicers and the Master Servicer in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees and outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances and all amounts due and owing to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Credit Risk Manager and the Custodians pursuant to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreements and (iii) any Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Providers not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event which remain unpaid or which are due to the exercise of the optional termination right.  

(b)  The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may elect to purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date plus the Original Pre-Funded Amount.

(c)  Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in the REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described Termination Price. The Securities Administrator shall remit (a) to the Master Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Master Servicer notifies it in writing that the Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.24 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and notified by the Master Servicer in writing and (b) to the Servicers, any amounts reimbursable to the Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.1(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer in each case without recourse, representation or warranty.

(d)  Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.1 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.1. Any such amounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held in an Eligible Account and the Securities Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or more Eligible Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

Section 9.2  Additional Termination Requirements.  

(a)  In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the last Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

(i)  The Securities Administrator shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each REMIC’s final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained by and at the expense of the Terminator;

(ii)  During such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for cash; and

(iii)  At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.

(b)  At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.1, at the expense of the Trust Fund), the Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.2.

(c)  By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Securities Administrator to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

ARTICLE X

REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.1  REMIC Administration.  

(a)  The Trustee shall elect to treat each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law and as instructed by the Securities Administrator. Each such election shall be made by the Securities Administrator on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and the R-I interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I. The REMIC II Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the R-II interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC II.  The REMIC III Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC III and the R-III interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC III.  The REMIC IV Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC IV and the R-IV interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC IV. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any “interests” in any REMIC formed hereby (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests, REMIC III Regular Interests and the REMIC IV Regular Interests and Class R Certificates.

(b)  The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)  The Securities Administrator shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Securities Administrator, as agent for each REMIC’s tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.

(d)  The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file and the Trustee shall sign all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)  The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the prepayment assumption, as set forth in the Prospectus, as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who shall serve as the representative of each REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Securities Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Securities Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(f)  To the extent in the control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, each such Person (i) shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of each REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless such action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor (iii) shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.

(g)  In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or under this Article X, or (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)  The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)  Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC other than in connection with any Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(j)  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)  The Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of Regular Interests in each REMIC as required by IRS Form 8811.

(l)  The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) (the “LIBOR Certificates”) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates.  Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”).  A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Interest Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC Maximum Rate” for the applicable “Net WAC Pass-Through Rate” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Interest Accrual Period based on the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance.  In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts from the Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust to the beneficial owners of the LIBOR Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract.  For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.

Section 10.2  Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer  or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.3  Indemnification.  

(a)  The Trustee agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer as a result of the Trustee’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement.

(b)  The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in Article III in accordance with the standard of care of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

(c)  The Securities Administrator agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee as a result of the Securities Administrator’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Securities Administrator set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.1  Amendment.  

This Agreement may be amended from time to time, by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Swap Provider, (a) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, (b) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as four REMICs at all times that any Certificates are outstanding, (c) to ensure compliance with Regulation AB, (d) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder, or (e) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, 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.  No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee (with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement, and with the consent of the Class A-1 Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-1 Swap Agreement) with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights 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 received on Loans which are 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 (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 12.1, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement required in connection with the compliance with or the clarification of any reporting obligations described in Section 3.29 hereof shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder and without the need for any Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that such amendment will not cause any REMIC formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

As soon as practicable after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders under this Section 11.1 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.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Section 11.2  Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.  

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement (or an abstract hereof, if acceptable by the applicable recording office) 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 to be effected by the Depositor at the expense of the Certificateholders, but only after the Depositor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.3  Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.  

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless all of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.3, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.4  Governing Law.  

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES 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.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts in the Capitalized Interest Account including investment earnings and all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account and any Pre-Funding Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in the Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.1 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST , SERIES 2006-AR4

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A-[1][2][3] Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional,  adjustable-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate first lien residential mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”) sold by DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the “Depositor”).  This Certificate is primarily backed by the Mortgage Loans sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on [the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date][the last Business Day of the month immediately proceeding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs] (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-[1][2][3] Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class A-[1][2][3] Certificates or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Pass-Through Rate with respect to Class A-[2][3] Certificates for each Distribution Date through and including the Optional Termination Date will be the least of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus the applicable margin set forth in the Agreement for such Class, (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate and (iii) 10.50% per annum.  The Pass-Through Rate with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for each Distribution Date through and including the Optional Termination Date will be the lesser of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus the applicable margin set forth in the Agreement for such Class and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate; provided, however, that the margins applicable to each of the Class A Certificates will increase by 100% on the Distribution Date following the first possible Optional Termination Date with respect to the Loans; and provided, further, that in the event that the Class A-1 Swap Agreement is terminated early, the current margin for the Class A-1 Certificates will increase by 0.06% per annum on or before the first possible Optional Termination Date and will increase by 0.12% per annum after the first possible Optional Termination Date.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the related Mortgage Loans and payments received pursuant to the Swap Agreement, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement and with the consent of the Class A-1 Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-1 Swap Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement and with the consent of the Class A-1 Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-1 Swap Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST , SERIES 2006-AR4

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class CE  Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional,  adjustable-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate first lien residential mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”) sold by DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that [Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the “Depositor”).  The Mortgage Loans were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”),  and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class CE Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicers with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights (with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement and with the consent of the Class A-1 Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-1 Swap Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.  None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator 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.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of (A) all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.

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

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans, as applicable, and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST , SERIES 2006-AR4

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class R  Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional one- to four-family adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”) sold by DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that [Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the “Depositor”).  The Mortgage Loans were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class R Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and payments received pursuant to the Swap Agreement, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interest of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement and with the consent of the Class A-1 Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-1 Swap Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement.

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of (A) all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans, as applicable, and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

7.

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund.  On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trustee as consideration for the Depositor’s transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund.  The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund.  All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates.  The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Additional Collateral, (ii) the Swap Agreement, (iii) the Swap Trust, (iv) any payments with respect to Basis Risk or Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts, and (v) payments with respect to Class I Shortfalls (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Property”) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, “Lower-Tier REMIC 1,” “Lower-Tier REMIC 2,” “Middle-Tier REMIC 1,” and the “Upper-Tier” or “Master” REMIC”).  Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, shall represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.  The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Middle-Tier REMIC Interests in the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (other than the Class 1-MT-R Interest) and the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest), the Class 1-P Reserve Fund, the Class 2-P Reserve Fund, and the Class A-R Reserve Fund.  Each Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest (other than the Class MT1-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (each, a “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Interest”), and each Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (each, a “Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest”).  Middle-Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (other than the Class 1-LT-R Interest.)  Lower-Tier REMIC 1 shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund related to Pool 1 (other than any related Excluded Trust Property).   Each Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Interest (other than the Class 1-LT-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (each, a “Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest”).  Lower-Tier REMIC 2 shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund related to Pool 2 (other than any related Excluded Property).   Each Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Interest (other than the Class 2-LT-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (each, a “Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest”). The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Lower-Tier REMIC 1:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1, each of which (other than the 1-LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

___________________________

(1)

The Class 1-LT-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The Class 1-LT-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 1.

(2)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product of (a) the Pool 1 Net WAC, determined without regard to the Swap Agreement (the “REMIC Net WAC Rate”) and (b) 2.

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of  Lower-Tier REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date allocable to Pool 1, other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment required to be made from the Trust Fund.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 1 Principal Remittance Amount with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests, sequentially, to the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 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 Pool 1 Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 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 Distribution Account that represents Prepayment Premiums with respect to Pool 1 to the Class LT1-F60 Interest.

Middle-Tier REMIC 1:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1, each of which (other than the MT1-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the MT1-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the product of (i) two, and (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date (the “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate”).

(2)

The Class MT1-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance.  For the applicable Distribution Date listed in the first column in the table below, the Class MT1-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on each Lower-Tier REMIC 1 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 REMIC 1 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) two, and (b) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

(3)

The Class MT1-R interest is the sole class of residual interests in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date minus the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class MT1-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Pool 1 Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class MT1-Q Interest.  An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Middle-Tier REMIC 1 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 REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the following order of priority:

First, to the Class MT1-A1, Class MT1-A2, Class MT1-A3, Class MT1-A4, Class MT1-A5, Class MT1-M1, Class MT1-M2, Class MT1-B1, and Class MT1-B2 Interests until the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

Second, to the Class MT1-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the Class LT1-F60 Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests on such Distribution Date to the Class MT1-Q Interest.

Lower-Tier REMIC 2:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2, each of which (other than the 2-LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2 (the “Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests is a per annum rate equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC.

(2)

The Class 2-LT-R interest is the sole class of residual interests in Lower-Tier REMIC 2.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date minus the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in Lower-Tier REMIC 2.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of  Lower-Tier REMIC 2 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date allocable to Pool 2.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Pool 2 Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Pool 2 Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT2-Q.  An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Lower-Tier REMIC 2 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 with respect to Pool 2 shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the following order of priority:

First, to the Class LT2-A1, Class LT2-A2, Class LT2-A3, Class LT2-A4, Class LT2-A5, Class LT2-A6, Class LT2-A7, Class LT2-A8, Class LT2-M1, Class LT2-M2, Class LT2-B1, and Class LT2-B2 Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

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

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums with respect to Pool 2 to the Class LT2-Q Interest.

The per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-2, Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-4, Class 1-A-5, Class 1-M-1, Class 1-M-2, Class 1-B-1 and Class 1-B-2 Certificates will be equal to the least of (a) LIBOR plus the related Certificate Margin, (b) the Pool 1 Net WAC (adjusted for the actual number of days in the related Accrual Period), and (c) 11.50% per annum.  For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference to the Pool 1 Net WAC in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC Net WAC Rate; therefore, on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate for one of these Certificates exceeds the REMIC Net WAC Rate, interest accruals based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the Swap Trust; on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Interest Rate on one of these Certificates is based on the Pool 1 Net WAC, the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Certificates if the REMIC Net WAC Rate were substituted for the Pool 1 Net WAC shall be treated as having been paid by such Certificateholders to the Swap Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 10.01(k) hereof.

(2)

The per annum certificate interest rate on the Class 2-A-1 and Class 2-A-2 Certificates will be equal to the lesser of (a) the related Fixed Pass-Through Rate and (b) the Pool 2 Net WAC.

(3)

With respect to any Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution Date in September 2013, the per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7, Class 2-A-8, Class 2-M-1, Class 2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2 Certificates will be equal to the lesser of (a) the related Fixed Pass-Through Rate and (b) the Pool 2 Net WAC.  With respect to any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date in October 2013, the per annum Certificate Interest Rate on the Class 2-A-3, Class 2-A-4, Class 2-A-5, Class 2-A-6, Class 2-A-7, Class 2-A-8, Class 2-M-1, Class 2-M-2, Class 2-B-1 and Class 2-B-2 Certificates will be equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC, minus 0.25%.

(4)

The Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates will not receive any distributions of interest but will be entitled to all Prepayment Premiums on the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans and Pool 2 Mortgage Loans, respectively.

(5)

The Class 1-CE Certificates will be entitled to all Pool 1 Net Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after distributions pursuant to clauses 5.02(c)(1) through (18) hereof.  For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the Class 1-CE Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC (the “Class 1-CE Interest”), which shall comprise three components.  The first component has a notional balance equal to the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests.  The interest rate of the Class 1-CE Interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class 1-CE Interest that is in excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Pool 1 Certificates (other than the Class 1-CE Certificates).  For any Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate in respect of the Class 1-CE Interest shall be the excess of: (i) the Pool 1 Net WAC determined without regard to the Swap Agreement over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interests (other than any interest-only interest), where the MT1-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each remaining Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Regular Interest is subject to a cap equal to the Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates, determined by substituting the Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate for the Pool 1 Net WAC in the definition thereof.  The second notional component represents the right to receive all distributions in respect of the Class MT1-IO Interest in Middle-Tier REMIC 1 (the “Class I” interest).  The third component represents the right to receive principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial Class Principal Amount of each other Class of Pool 1Certificates (other than the Class 1-P Certificates) as of the Closing Date.  Such principal balance shall not bear interest.  

(6)

The Class 2-CE Certificates will be entitled to all Pool 2 Net Monthly Excess Cashflow remaining after distributions pursuant to clauses 5.02(f)(1) through (17) hereof.  For purposes of compliance with the REMIC Provisions, the Class 2-CE Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC (the “Class 2-CE Interest”), which shall comprise two components.  The first component has a notional balance equal to the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC 2 Regular Interests.  The interest rate of the Class 2-CE Interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Mortgage Loans to accrue on the Class 2-CE Interest that is in excess of the amount of interest that accrues on the Pool 2 Certificates (other than the Class 2-CE Certificates).  For any Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate in respect of the Class 2-CE Interest shall be the excess of: (i) the Pool 2 Net WAC over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, where the 2-LT-Q Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each remaining Pool 2 Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest is subject to a cap equal to the Certificate Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates.  The second component represents the right to receive principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate Initial Class Principal Amount of each other Class of Pool 2 Certificates (other than the Class 2-P Certificates) as of the Closing Date.  Such principal balance shall not bear interest.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans was $595,991,981 and the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans was $416,719,073.

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 shortfall—actual or potential (other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest.  To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and shall, in accordance with Section 12.03 of this Agreement, attempt to clarify such ambiguity or correct any errors, including drafting errors.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

To the extent that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the Seller, such costs and damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall be borne by the Seller.  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose).  If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b) below.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b)

Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.  As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable.  For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a “Substitution Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month’s interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate.  On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as the related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.  If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(c)

Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above.  The Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

SECTION 2.06

Grant Clause.  

(a)

It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan.  However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.

(b)

The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.  The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws.  Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee.  Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans.  In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b), it being understood that such immediate or mediate transferees are under no obligation to make such filings.

SECTION 2.07

Swap Agreement.

The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute and deliver on behalf of the Swap Trust the Swap Agreement and authorizes the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Swap Trust in accordance with the terms of the Swap Agreement.  The Depositor hereby authorizes and directs the Securities Administrator to ratify on behalf of the Swap Trust, as the Swap Trust’s own actions, the terms agreed to by the Depositor in relation to the Swap Agreement, as reflected in the Swap Agreement, and the Securities Administrator hereby so ratifies the Swap Agreement.  If based upon a notice from the valuation agent pursuant to section 4(c) of the credit support annex, the Securities Administrator determines that a delivery amount exists, then the Securities Administrator shall demand such amount pursuant to section 3(a) of the credit support annex.  The Securities Administrator shall amend the Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms and as requested in writing by a party to the Swap Agreement to cure any ambiguity in or correct or supplement any provision of, the Swap Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment will not have a material adverse effect to a Certificateholder as evidenced by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates.  The Swap Agreement shall not be part of any REMIC.  The Swap Provider is the calculation agent under the Swap Agreement and shall calculate all amounts pursuant to the Swap Agreement and notify the Securities Administrator of all such amounts.

(a)

The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates.  The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Securities Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Securities Administrator as trustee of the Swap Trust and not in its individual capacity.

(b)

The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to make any and all demands for Eligible Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) under the Swap Agreement from the Swap Provider in satisfaction of the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) requirement.  The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to deliver notice to the Swap Provider upon any failure of the Swap Provider to transfer the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) pursuant to an Approved Credit Support Document (as defined in the Swap Agreement).

ARTICLE III

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.01

The Certificates.  

(a)

The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.  The Uncertificated Interests shall be issuable as uncertificated securities in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.  The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal Amount, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein.  Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  Each Class of Non-Book-Entry Certificates other than the Residual Certificates shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.  The Class A-R, Class 1-P and Class 2-P Certificates shall be issued as single Certificates and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a denomination equal to 100% of the Percentage Interest of each such Class.  Each Uncertificated Interest shall be maintained in fully registered form.

(b)

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator on its behalf.  Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the written order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01.  No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.  At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

SECTION 3.02

Registration.  

The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates and the Uncertificated Interest (the “Certificate Register”).  The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate Registrar.  A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates and the Uncertificated Interest collectively.  The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator.  The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.  The Certificate Register in respect of the Uncertificated Interest shall contain a statement that transfers of the Uncertificated Interest to a Disqualified Organization are prohibited as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03

Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.  

(a)

A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.  Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred.  An Uncertificated Interest may be transferred by the Holder thereof upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 3.03.  No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.

(b)

A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar.  Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered.  No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.  Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c)

By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.

The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate:

(i)

The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Act by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and

(ii)

The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.

(d)

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate or that is an Uncertificated Interest shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, (collectively, a “Plan”) or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.  Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit J.  The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer the Depositor or the Securities Administrator.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial transfer of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates.  The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions.  The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d), and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability 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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements.  The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time.  Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

(e)

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

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

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(e) 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.

(f)

As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable.  No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.  In addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder.  Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate.  The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder.  The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith).  Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the Certificate Registrar that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate.  The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

(h)

Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.

SECTION 3.04

Cancellation of Certificates.  

Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate Registrar.

SECTION 3.05

Replacement of Certificates.  

If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount.  Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.  Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any agent in connection therewith.

SECTION 3.06

Persons Deemed Owners.  

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.07

Temporary Certificates.  

(a)

Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the written order of the Depositor, or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

(b)

If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.

SECTION 3.08

Appointment of Paying Agent.  

The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder.  The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as the initial Paying Agent.  The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders.  All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator.  If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date.  Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers.

SECTION 3.09

Book-Entry Certificates.  

(a)

Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates.  The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c).  Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):

(i)

the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii)

the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;

(iii)

to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control; and

(iv)

the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.  Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(b)

Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.

(c)

If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Paying Agent in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Paying Agent, (ii) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Paying Agent in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive Certificates.  Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Registrar, upon the written instruction of the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.

The Swap Account 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, moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 5.02(a)(i), 5.02(b)(i) and 5.02(c)(1) any amounts required to be paid to the Swap Provider and shall distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider.  The Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Swap Account any Net Swap Payments received from the Swap Provider and shall distribute from the Swap Account any such amounts to holders of the Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.09.

(c)

Funds in the Swap Account shall remain uninvested.  The Class 1-CE Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Swap Trust for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Swap Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein.

(d)

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Swap Account after payment of amounts owing to the Swap Provider shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 5.09.

(e)

It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Swap Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder for the Class 1-CE Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class 1-CE Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class 1-CE Certificates is recharacterized as representing ownership of an equity interest in the Swap Trust for federal income tax purposes.

(f)

The Swap Trustee is hereby directed, on or prior to the Closing Date, on behalf of the Swap Trust, to enter into and assume the obligations under the Swap Agreement with the Swap Provider for the benefit of the Holders of the Pool 1 Certificates, in the form presented to it by the Depositor.  The Depositor shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Swap Trust the payments, if any, owed to the Swap Provider as of the Closing Date under the Swap Agreement.  The Swap Trustee shall not, individually or personally, have any liability to perform any covenant either express or implied contained in the Swap Agreement, and under no circumstance shall the Swap Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any amounts payable by the Swap Trust under the Swap Agreement or any expenses of the Swap Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Swap Trust under the Swap Agreement.

(g)

The Swap Trustee shall have all of the rights and protections of the Securities Administrator hereunder.

SECTION 5.07

Rights of Swap Provider.

The Swap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights under this Agreement, which rights include but are not limited to, the obligation of the Securities Administrator (A) to pay any Net Swap Payment and any Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider and (B) to establish and maintain the Swap Account, to make such deposits thereto, investments therein and distributions therefrom as are required pursuant to Section 5.06.  For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Swap Provider shall be entitled to relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 5.08

Replacement of Swap Provider.

In the event that the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Swap Trust, and at the direction of the Depositor, enters into a replacement Swap Agreement with a replacement swap counterparty (the “Replacement Swap Counterparty”), then (a) to the extent that the Swap Trust would be required to make a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider and (b) to the extent the Replacement Swap Counterparty pays to assume the rights and obligations of the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement (the “Replacement Payment”), the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Swap Trust, and the Swap Provider agree that such Replacement Payment shall be paid to the Swap Provider and shall, only to the extent actually paid by the Replacement Swap Counterparty to the Swap Provider, constitute satisfaction in full of the obligations of the Swap Trust to the Swap Provider in respect of the assignment of the outstanding transaction under the Swap Agreement to the Replacement Swap Counterparty or the replacement of such transaction with the Replacement Swap Counterparty.  In addition, upon termination of the Swap Provider and to the extent that the Swap Provider would be required to make a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Trust, such Swap Termination Payment shall be deposited into the Supplement Interest Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required to be made to a Replacement Swap Counterparty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a replacement swap agreement is not obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Securities Administrator of the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Provider, the Securities Administrator shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into the Swap Account and the Securities Administrator shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from such Swap Account, an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Swap Trust by the original Swap Provider (computed in accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 5.09 of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.06

Resignation and Removal of Trustee and the Securities Administrator.  

(a)

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, the Rating Agencies, the Depositor and the Master Servicer.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee or a successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or resigning Securities Administrator, as applicable, one copy to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation of the Trustee from its obligations hereunder shall become effective if, prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee has received written confirmation from a Rating Agency, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor that such resignation will result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates.  If the Depositor or the Securities Administrators receives written confirmation from a Rating Agency that such resignation will result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, such party will promptly forward such notice to the Trustee.

(b)

If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of either of their property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund held by the Trustee is located, (iv) the continued use of the Trustee or Securities Administrator would result in a downgrading of the rating by any Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with a rating or (v) the Securities Administrator has failed to comply with the provisions of Article XI hereof, then the Depositor shall remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, acceptable to the Master Servicer by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Securities Administrator so removed, one copy each to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the Master Servicer.  The Depositor or the Trustee may remove the Securities Administrator, and the Depositor, with the Trustee’s approval, may appoint another Securities Administrator.

The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Securities Administrator.  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor securities administrator meeting the requirements set forth herein, as the successor securities administrator hereunder in assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Securities Administrator hereunder.

(c)

The Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates may at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and to the Depositor remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by such written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, one copy to the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable and one copy to the Master Servicer; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, in accordance with this Section.

(d)

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or the successor securities administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 6.07.

(a)

Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, herein.  The predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, shall deliver to the successor trustee (or assign to the Trustee its interest under the Custodial Agreements, to the extent permitted thereunder) or successor securities administrator, as applicable, all Trustee Mortgage Files and documents and statements related to each Trustee Mortgage File held by it hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor trustee the entire Trust Fund, together with all necessary instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents delivered to it for execution, properly executed and necessary to effect such transfer and such of the records or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor trustee in the administration hereof as may be requested by the successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.09

Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.  

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer in writing that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located.  The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee.  The obligation of the Master Servicer to make Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee.

(b)

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

(i)

all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

(ii)

all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed 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 Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;

(iii)

no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and

(iv)

the Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Depositor, accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.

(c)

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI.  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 given to the Master Servicer.

(d)

Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee or custodian 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.

(e)

SECTION 6.10

Authenticating Agents.  

(a)

The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates.  The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as initial Authenticating Agent, and the Securities Administrator accepts such appointment.  Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

(b)

Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

(c)

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor.  Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates.  Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent.  No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10.  No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

SECTION 6.11

Indemnification of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator.  

The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Depositor and the Trust Fund (provided that the Trust Fund’s indemnification under this Section 6.11 is limited by Section 4.01(d) for any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and, in the case of the Trustee, in connection with the Custodial Agreements, including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or counsel), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that:

(i)

with respect to any such claim, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have given the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee, the Master Servicer the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have knowledge thereof; provided, however, that failure to give the Depositor such notice shall not affect the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator’s rights to indemnification hereunder;

(ii)

while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense;

(iii)

notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

(iv)

such expense constitutes an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).

The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.

SECTION 6.12

Fees and Expenses of Master Servicer and the Trustee.  

(a)

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be paid by the Securities Administrator pursuant to a separate agreement between the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator.

Such reimbursement or payment shall be made from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

(b)

(iii)

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, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or any Rating Agency reduces or withdraws or threatens to reduce or withdraw the rating of the Certificates because of the financial condition or loan servicing capability of such Master Servicer; or

(iv)

The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v)

The Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)

The Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a successor servicer as specified in Section 9.05 hereof; or

(vii)

A representation or warranty set forth in Section 9.03 hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within 30 days after the date on which written notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, or to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or

(viii)

A sale or pledge of any of the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates;

(ix)

After receipt of notice from the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advances required to be made hereunder; or

(x)

Any failure by the Master Servicer to comply with the provisions of Article XI.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.  On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master 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.  If Event of Default set forth in clause (x) occurs, the Depositor, at its sole option, but with the consent of the Trustee, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation, but in no event later than March 25th of such year.  The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee or Securities Administrator reasonably allocable to legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination.

If any Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge shall occur, the Trustee, upon becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default.  The Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to make Advances as required under this Agreement.

(b)

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that any failure to perform such 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 addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the receipt by the Master Servicer of any notice of termination.  The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.03.  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 all compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04 of this Agreement.

(c)

Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer.  Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder.  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 no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder.  The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith.  The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master 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 caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.  No successor master 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 caused by (i) the failure of the Trustee to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 6.16

Waiver of Defaults.  

More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the Trustee or Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any 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 6.17

Notification to Holders.  

Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register.  The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

SECTION 6.18

Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default.  

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct 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; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the written request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

SECTION 6.19

Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event of Default.  

In the event that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, provided that the Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to independently ascertain whether any action or inaction of the Master Servicer has occurred.

SECTION 6.20

Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.  

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to written instructions given by the Depositor, federal tax returns, all in accordance with Article X hereof.  If the Depositor notifies the Securities Administrator in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file such state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator’s possession).  The Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and such other information within the control of the Securities Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required by applicable law.  The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided by the Master Servicer.

(b)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS 4 or by any other acceptable method.  The Securities Administrator shall also file a Form 8811 as required.  The Securities Administrator, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Depositor.  The Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to the Certificateholders.  The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer to provide the Securities Administrator with such information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare such documents to the extent required under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable.   

SECTION 6.21

Determination of LIBOR.

On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Securities Administrator shall determine LIBOR for the Accrual Period, and such rate shall be final and binding, absent a manifest error of the Securities Administrator.  With respect to the first Distribution Date, One-Month LIBOR  will be deemed to be 5.33%

ARTICLE VII

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND

TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND

SECTION 7.01

Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.  

(a)

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii)  the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in both Pools in accordance with Section 7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.  Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.

(b)

[Reserved].

(c)

On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Pool 1 Initial Optional Purchase Date or the Pool 2 Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Master Servicer has the option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 or Pool 2, as applicable, and after the second such optional purchase date, has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof with respect to such Pool and to sell all of its property with respect to such Pool.  If the Master Servicer elects to exercise any such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the related assets of the Trust Fund (the “Purchase Date”) deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the related Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice that the related Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date.  Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund related to Pool 1 or Pool 2, as applicable, shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price equal to the related Redemption Price.

(d)

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and Securities Administrator Fees or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or the related Custodial Agreement.

SECTION 7.02

Procedure Upon Redemption or Termination of Trust Fund.  

(a)

Notice of any redemption or termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made or the Redemption Date of the Certificates, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to the Certificateholders mailed in the case of a redemption of any Certificates, no later than (i) the first day of the month in which the Distribution Date selected for redemption of such Certificates shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the related property of the Trust Fund by Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee or in the case of a sale of assets of the Trust Fund, or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund.  Such notice shall specify (A) the Redemption Date, Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.  The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of such Certificates.  Upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

(b)

In the event that any of the affected Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time 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 one year after the second notice any applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders.  If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to the Depositor, and the Depositor shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.  No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(c)

Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any redemption or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund or a portion thereof shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from such liquidation of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 7.03

Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.  

(a)

(i)

Within 89 days prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, (and upon notification by the Purchaser in the case of a purchase under Section 7.01(c)) the Trustee shall adopt on behalf of the each related REMIC, a plan of complete liquidation, meeting the requirements of a qualified  liquidation under the REMIC Provisions;

(ii)

Any sale of the assets of the REMIC shall be for cash and shall occur at or after the time the plan of complete liquidation is adopted and prior to the time the final payments on the Certificates are made;

(iii)

On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand with respect to each related REMIC after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and each related REMIC shall terminate at that time.  Upon the termination of the last remaining REMIC, the Trust Fund shall terminate; and

(iv)

In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the related Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.

(b)

By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to accept the plan (or plans) of complete liquidation adopted by the Trustee under this Section and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer.

ARTICLE VIII

RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

SECTION 8.01

Limitation on Rights of Holders.  

(a)

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

(b)

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal  Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator such reasonable indemnity as they may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders.  For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 8.02

Access to List of Holders.  

(a)

If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record Date.

(b)

If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.

(c)

Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 8.03

Acts of Holders of Certificates.  

(a)

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer.  Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.  Each of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the others.

(b)

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.  Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deems sufficient.

(c)

The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, nor the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(d)

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

BY THE MASTER SERVICER

SECTION 9.01

Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers; and Master Servicer’s Obligations.

(a)

The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements and the Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to enforce the obligations of the Servicers to duly and punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default of which an Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default.  So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of, or to enforce the obligations of, a Servicer under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, with respect to any Additional Collateral or any Limited Purpose Surety Bond relating thereto, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.01, in which case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and administer the Additional Collateral and any related Limited Purpose Surety Bond in accordance with the provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable).

The Master Servicer shall not permit a successor Servicer to perform any servicing responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that Servicer first agrees in writing to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits that Master Servicer to comply with the provisions hereof.

(b)

Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the rights and powers of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed, with the consent of the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, a new Fannie Mae- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer).  With such consent, the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable.  Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for such costs of enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.

If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer.

(c)

Upon any termination of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer.

(d)

Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 9.02

Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee.  

(a)

In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans or shall appoint a Fannie-Mae or FHLMC-approved servicer as successor servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.  The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its 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 thereunder.

(b)

The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and Servicing Agreement, Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.

SECTION 9.03

Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.  

(a)

The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:

(i)

it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America as a national banking association, and as Master Servicer has full power and authority to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer;

(ii)

the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer’s charter or bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(iii)

this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(iv)

the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;

(v)

the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement;

(vi)

no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii)

the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans, is a Fannie Mae- or FHLMC-approved seller/servicer;

(viii)

no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been obtained; and

(ix)

the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer.

(b)

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 Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold them harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other 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).  It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as provided in this Section constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator 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 or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties.

SECTION 9.04

Compensation to the Master Servicer.  

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Advances, Servicer Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances in accordance with the definition of “Available Distribution Amount.”  The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Distribution Account for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Master Servicer in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements and Servicing Agreements, as modified by the Acknowledgements (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), to the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee which shall be paid by the Securities Administrator from the Securities Administrator Fee pursuant to a separate agreement between the Master Servicer the Securities Administrator.

SECTION 9.05

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 be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or FHLMC and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000.

SECTION 9.06

Resignation of Master Servicer.  

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee.  No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.  Written notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time U.S. Bank National Association also shall be entitled to resign as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.  In such event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(a)).

SECTION 9.07

Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.  

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder.  Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee.  If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

SECTION 9.08

Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.  

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

The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicers except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of any servicer in this Agreement, the Purchase and Servicing Agreements and the Servicing Agreements.

SECTION 9.09

Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.  

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Purchase and Servicing Agreements and the Servicing Agreements.  The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Master Servicer shall not affect the Depositor’s, the Securities Administrator’s or the Trustee’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Master Servicer’s defense of any such claim has been materially prejudiced thereby.

ARTICLE X

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

SECTION 10.01

REMIC Administration.  

(a)

REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.  The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.

(b)

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.  The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(c)

The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.  The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax-related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer).  The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by Section 6.20 and this Section.

(d)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, as instructed by the Securities Administrator, all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator.  In preparing such returns, the Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC other than the Upper-Tier REMIC: (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such REMIC as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from such REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) account for income under the all-OID method at the applicable Net WAC; (iv) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (v) account for income and expenses related to such REMIC in the manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC.

(e)

The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.  Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide, upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders and the Trustee such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

(f)

To the extent within their control, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.  None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Holder of any Residual Certificate or Uncertificated Interest shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate or Uncertificated Interest will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the Residual Certificateholders.

(g)

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities.  To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

(h)

The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)

No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(j)

Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k)

The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of the Pool 1 Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class 1-CE Certificates.  Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of such Pool 1 Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class 1-CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”).  A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate Interest Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “Middle-Tier REMIC 1 Net WAC Rate” for the Pool 1 Net WAC in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Accrual Period based on the Pool 1 Net WAC, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance.  In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class 1-CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts to such Pool 1 Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).  However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Swap Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract.  Thus, each Pool 1 Certificate entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract.  For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $15,000.00 as of the Closing Date.

The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of the Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts (and any other payment reflecting an interest rate greater than the Pool 2 Net WAC) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owner of the Class 2-CE Certificates.  Pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class 2-CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts (and any other payment reflecting an interest rate greater than the Pool 2 Net WAC) to the Holders of the Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).  For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Shortfall Carryover Amounts, as of the Closing Date, of $15,000.

(l)

The Holder of a majority interest in the residual interest in any REMIC formed hereby shall act as “tax matters person” with respect to such REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall act as agent for such holder in such role, unless and until another party is so designated by such holder.

SECTION 10.02

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.  

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, or acquire any assets for any REMIC, or sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, or accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

SECTION 10.03

Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status.  

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder(s) of the Residual Certificates, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties  on which the Securities Administrator has relied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements, Servicing Agreements or under any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

SECTION 10.04

REO Property.  

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(b)

The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value.  In any event, however, the Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event.  If such an extension has been received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”).  If such an extension has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an extension, has been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.05

Fidelity Bond.

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, 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 and trustees.  

ARTICLE XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING

SECTION 11.01

Form 10-D Reporting.

Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act.  The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto.  Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.  

As set forth on Exhibit N hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date of each month that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, (i) the parties set forth thereon shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent a Responsible Officer of such party has knowledge, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, a notice in the form of Exhibit Q hereto (an “Additional Disclosure Notification”) together with, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable to such party and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D.  The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.  

After preparing the Form 10-D, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided that such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure) for review.  By the 13th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D.  In the absence of any receipt of any written changes or approval from the Depositor by the 13th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D.  A duly authorized officer of the Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D.  If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.04.  Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 11.01 related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 11.01.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, timely execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Each of Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the Depositor, as 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, as of the Closing Date, 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 the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D and no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to such questions should be "no."  The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with a form of the first page of the Form 10-K on or prior to March 1 of each year in which a Form 10-K must be filed.  The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.  

SECTION 11.02

Form 10-K Reporting.

Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of each year), commencing in March 2007, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act.  Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, (i) the Item 1123 Certification for each Servicer, Servicing Function Participant and the Master Servicer as described under Section 11.05, (ii)(A) the Assessment of Compliance with servicing criteria for each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and each Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 11.06, and (B) if any of a Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Securities Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or any Servicing Function Participant’s Assessment of Compliance identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any of a Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Securities Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or any Servicing Function Participant’s Assessment of Compliance is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the Accountant’s Attestation for each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and each Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 11.07, and (B) if any Accountant’s Attestation identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such Accountant’s Attestation is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification as described in Section 11.08 (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator, in its reasonable discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K, any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB). Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

As set forth on Exhibit N hereto, no later than March 1 of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, (i) the parties set forth on Exhibit N shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent a Responsible Officer of such party has knowledge,  an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit Q hereto, along with, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable to such party, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K.  The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.

After preparing the Form 10-K, but no later than March 23th of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor (provided that such Form 10-K includes any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure) for review.  Within four Business Days before the 10-K Filing Deadline, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K.  In the absence of any receipt of any written changes or approval from the Depositor by the close of business on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form, and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-K.  A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K.  If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.04.  Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.02 related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Article XI.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or 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.

SECTION 11.03

Form 8-K Reporting.

Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), and if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.  Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K other than the initial Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

As set forth on Exhibit N hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the close of business (New York City time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties set forth on Exhibit N shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent a Responsible Officer of such party has knowledge, an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit Q attached hereto, along with, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable to such party, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information.  The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph.

After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review.  Promptly upon receipt of such copy, but no later than the close of business on the third Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K.    In the absence of any receipt of any written changes or approval from the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 8-K.   A duly authorized officer of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 8-K.  If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.04.  Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 11.03.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

SECTION 11.04

Delisting; Amendment; Late Filing of Reports.

On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.

In the event that the Securities Administrator is 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 will promptly electronically notify the Depositor.  In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement and each Servicer will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act.  In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, 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 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than for the purpose of restating any Monthly Report), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator will electronically notify the Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such amendment and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A.  Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative, or senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of master servicing, as applicable.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.04 related to the timely preparation, execution 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.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute 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 obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from 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 11.05

The Master Servicer shall deliver or otherwise make available (and the Master Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to deliver or otherwise make available) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Item 1123 Certification”) stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.  Promptly after receipt of each such Item 1123 Certification, the Depositor shall review such Item 1123 Certification and, if applicable, consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such party’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, under such other applicable agreement.  The Master Servicer shall include all Item 1123 Certifications received by it from each Servicing Function Participant with its own Item 1123 Certification to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this section.

In the event the Master Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of any other applicable agreement, such party shall provide an Item 1123 Certification pursuant to this Section 11.05 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or such other applicable agreement, as the case may be.

SECTION 11.06

Annual Assessments of Compliance.

By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian, each at its own expense, shall furnish or otherwise make available, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish or otherwise make available, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria (an “Assessment of Compliance”) that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 11.02, including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an Accountant’s Attestation on such party’s Assessment of Compliance with the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period; provided, however, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it shall only be required to provide an Assessment of Compliance for each calendar year for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed with respect to the Trust Fund.  

No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed, the Master Servicer  and the Custodian shall each forward to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the Assessment of Compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant (provided, however, that the Master Servicer need not provide such information to the Securities Administrator so long as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person).  When the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian (or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their respective Assessments of Compliance to the Securities Administrator, such parties will also at such time include the Assessments of Compliance (and Accountant’s Attestation) of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it.

Where JPMCB is both a Custodian and a Servicer, the provisions of this Section 11.06 may be satisfied by the delivery of a single report containing the Assessment of Compliance of JPMCB.  Such Assessment of Compliance shall indicate that it has been delivered by JPMCB in its dual capacities as a Servicer and as Custodian in a form decided upon mutually by JPMCB and the Securities Administrator.

Promptly after receipt of each Assessment of Compliance, (i) the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the Assessments of Compliance, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit M and on any similar exhibit set forth in each Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in respect of each Servicer and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.  The Master Servicer shall include each such Assessment of Compliance with its own Assessment of Compliance  to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this section.

In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee has become the “Master Servicer” pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance pursuant to this Section 11.06 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, to the extent required by Regulation AB.

SECTION 11.07

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.  

By March 15 of each calendar year in which a Form 10-K is required to be filed with respect to the Trust Fund, commencing in March 2007, the Custodian shall, at its own expense, cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to Custodian), which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report to the effect that such firm attests to, and reports on, the assessment made by the Custodian pursuant to Section 11.06 above, which report shall be made in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Where JPMCB is both a Custodian and a Servicer, the provisions of this Section 11.07 may be satisfied by the delivery of a single report containing the Accountant's Attestation of JPMCB.    Such Accountant's Attestation shall indicate that it has been delivered by JPMCB in its dual capacities as a Servicer and as Custodian in a form decided upon mutually by JPMCB and the Securities Administrator.

Promptly after receipt of such Accountant’s Attestations from the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties (i) the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with such parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of any of each such party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable agreement, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance is coupled with an Accountant’s Attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.  The Master Servicer shall include each such Accountant’s Attestation with its own Accountant’s Attestation  to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this section.

In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee has become the “Master Servicer” pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Accountant’s Attestation pursuant to this Section 11.07 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, to the extent required by Regulation AB.

SECTION 11.08

Sarbanes-Oxley Certification.

Each Form 10-K shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”) required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by email at notifications@usbank.com or by facsimile at (866) 831-7910.  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 11.08 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not be required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the same Person and the Master Servicer is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the event that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be furnished to it pursuant to this section or any Servicing Agreement or Custodial Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers, to the extent set forth in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable, 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 Purchase and Servicing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

J.P. MORGAN ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2006-A5

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as J.P. Morgan Alternative Loan Trust 2006-A5, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day thereafter (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day preceding such Distribution Date or the Closing Date in the case of the First Distribution Date, unless the Certificates of this Class shall no longer be Book-Entry Certificates, in which case it shall be the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

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

On any Distribution Date after the Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.  In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement.  In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.

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