      "With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Owner, or its designee. The Trustee's name shall
be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity. With respect to any REO Property, the
Servicer shall take title as "LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee,
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated May 1, 2006. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through
an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, protect, conserve and operate such
REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation, management and operation and protection of the interests of the
Owner, or its designee, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Owner, or its designee, for the period
prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and
deliver to the Owner, or its designee, a statement with respect to each REO
Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and
all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of such REO Property
at such times as is necessary to enable the Owner, or its designee, to comply
with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly
rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each Determination
Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by
Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax
reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such
tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and
delivering the same to the Owner, or its designee, for filing.

      In the event that the Owner, or its designee, acquires any Mortgaged
Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent
default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property as soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation
Proceeds thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition
by the Owner, or its designee. In that event, the Owner, or its designee,
shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
holding by the Owner, or its designee, of such Mortgaged Property subsequent
to a three-year period, if applicable, will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC as defined in section 860F of
the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time, the
Owner, or its designee, may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject
to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration
of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Owner, or its designee, shall
be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Owner, or its designee, in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC to the imposition of any
federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged
Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer
has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, or its designee, with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes."

            (g) The second sentence of the third paragraph of Section 6.01 of
            the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
            entirety as follows:

      "Such interest shall be paid by Servicer to Owner on the date such late
payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on
which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such
payment is made, both inclusive."

            (h) The first paragraph of Section 6.02 of the Servicing Agreement
            is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

month (or, if such 10th day is not a Business Day, the following Business
Day), the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer in hard copy and
electronic format a statement setting forth (a) the amount of the distribution
made on such Remittance Date which is allocable to principal and allocable to
interest; (b) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer
during the prior calendar month; (c) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the

pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans;"

            (k) Section 11.01 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended and
            restated in its entirety:
