"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:

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."

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;

remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Agreement
or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans;"
