PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

As provided herein, the Trust Administrator shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Interest Rate Cap Accounts, the Interest Rate Cap Agreements and the Basis Risk Reserve Fund) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, “Subsidiary REMIC 1” and “Master REMIC”).  Each Class of Certificates, other than the Class AR Certificates and exclusive of the right to receive amounts from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or Supplemental Interest Trust in the case of each Certificate other than the Class X, Class P or Class AR Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  The Class AR Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  The Master REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class P Reserve Fund and several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in Subsidiary REMIC 1, other than the Class LT1-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in Subsidiary REMIC 1.  Subsidiary REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the Mortgage Loans and all collections and accounts related thereto.  The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date.  In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Distribution Date following the third anniversary of the scheduled maturity date of the Mortgage Loan having the latest scheduled maturity date as of the Cut-off Date.

(1)

This interest has an initial principal balance equal to one-half of the initial Class Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Master REMIC Certificates.

(2)

This interest has an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances, as of the Cut-Off Date, of the Mortgage Loans less (ii) the sum of the initial principal balances of each other interest in Subsidiary REMIC 1.  

(3)

This interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans, adjusted to reflect any amounts paid in respect of Certificate Insurer Premiums.

(4)

The Class LT1-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in Subsidiary REMIC 1.  It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.  The Class AR Certificate represents beneficial ownership interest of the Class LT1-R Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall allocate interest (in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest distributable on such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Interests in Subsidiary REMIC 1 at the rates shown above, pro rata, based on the amount of interest accrued on each such Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class LT1-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT1-Q Interest.  An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Subsidiary REMIC 1 Interests having a principal balance in the manner described below.

On each Distribution Date, principal collections and realized losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(i)

  First, concurrently, to the Class LT1-A-1-A, Class LT1-A-1-B-1, Class LT1-A-1-B-2, Class LT1-A-1-C, Class LT1-A-2, Class LT1-A-3-A, Class LT1-A-3-B, Class LT1-A-4-A, Class LT1-A-4-B, Class LT1-A-5-A, Class LT1-A-5-B, Class LT1-A-6, Class LT1-A-7, Class LT1-M-1, Class LT1-M-2, Class LT1-M-3, Class LT1-M-4, Class LT1-M-5-A, Class M-5-B, Class LT1-M-6, Class LT1-M-7 and Class LT1-AR Interests until the principal balance of each such Subsidiary REMIC 1 Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount of its Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(ii)  Second, to the Class LT1-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, Assigned Prepayment Premiums collected in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any Prepayment Premium Loan shall be distributed to the Class LT1-Q Interest.

(11)

The Class X Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Master REMIC (the “Class X Interest”).  The Class X Interest shall comprise a notional component, which has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the class principal balances of the Subsidiary REMIC Interests in Subsidiary REMIC 1.  For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Subsidiary REMIC Interests in Subsidiary REMIC 1, over (ii) the Adjusted Subsidiary REMIC 1 WAC.  In addition, for federal income tax purposes, the Class X Certificates shall represent ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust.  The initial Class X notional amount will be $805,757,561.39.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master 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 Trust Administrator shall resolve ambiguities to accomplish such result and shall to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention.

An executed assignment of the interest of the originator in the Security Agreement, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Recognition Agreement, showing an unbroken chain of title from the originator to the Trust Fund; and

(H)

For any Cooperative Loan that has been modified or amended, the original instrument or instruments effecting such modification or amendment.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s direction and expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased or substituted in accordance with this Agreement) the information required by the MERS® System to (a) identify the Trustee and (b) identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans.  The related Servicer shall report to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Custodian the status of updating all applicable assignments with MERS within 60 days of the Closing Date and shall confirm in writing to the applicable Custodian and the Certificate Insurer (which may be furnished electronically) once all assignments are updated with MERS.  The Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit a Servicer to, and each related Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

In the event the Depositor delivers to the Custodian certified copies of any document or instrument set forth in 2.01(b) because of a delay caused by the public recording office in returning any recorded document, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, within 60 days of the Closing Date, an Officer’s Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, and (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation.

In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) for a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements set forth above, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to the Seller or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (c) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Custodian, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office.

As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, DLJMC shall, at its expense, (i) affix or cause to be affixed the Trustee’s name to each Assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignment of a Mortgage as to which DLJMC has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, DLJMC’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, and DLJMC need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Depositor (at the Depositor’s expense) to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Insurer and DLJMC, acceptable to the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s, the Certificate Insurer’s and the Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan.

If any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit and indemnity.  If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit and indemnity was delivered to the Custodian is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Custodian within three Business Days.

(c)

The Trustee is authorized to enter into the Custodial Agreements, at the direction of the Depositor, for the purpose of having a Custodian maintain custody of the documents and instruments referred to in this Section 2.01, and any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered to the Custodian and any Officer’s Certificates delivered with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the Trust Administrator and the Custodian.

(d)

It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee.  It is, further, not the intention of the parties to this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if any for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage 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, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or the Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “in possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) 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 benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (d) shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any purpose other than for perfection of such security interests unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in writing).  The Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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.  

SECTION 2.02

Acceptance by the Trustee.

(a)

The Trustee shall require the Custodian, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer, Wells Fargo, the Seller, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator a Trust Receipt and Initial Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J.  Such Trust Receipt and Initial Certification shall require the Custodian, based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Trust Receipt and Initial Certification, to acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian shall not be required to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Pursuant to Section 6 of the Custodial Agreement, not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, Wells Fargo, as servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator a Trust Receipt and Final Certification with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit K, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

Based solely upon the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification received from the Custodian, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of the Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.

If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Trust Receipt and Final Certification pursuant to Section 6 of the Custodial Agreement; provided, however , that the Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.

The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan, or such longer period not to exceed 720 days from the Closing Date if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office; provided, however, except as required by Section 2.01, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Custodian’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and provided, further, that the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Custodian’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage.  The Trust Administrator shall direct the Custodian to deliver to each Rating Agency and the Certificate Insurer written notice within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (i) for which a mortgage or assignment of mortgage required to be recorded hereunder has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (ii) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan.  Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Custodian.  Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Trust Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.  The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit L hereto, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at such entity’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

If pursuant to the preceding paragraph the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall, at the Seller’s expense, either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan the Seller reasonably believes breaches a representation, warranty or covenant under a mortgage loan purchase agreement pursuant to which the Seller purchased such Mortgage Loan from the originator or prior holder of such Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have the right to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at any time in order to facilitate its rights against such originator or prior holder of such Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however , that in no event shall such repurchase take place with respect to Mortgage Loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, and provided further that such limitation does not affect the Seller’s obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03.  Any such repurchase by the Seller pursuant to this provision shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(c).  

In the event that DLJMC exercises such option, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L hereto, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to DLJMC, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at DLJMC’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by DLJMC, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee to DLJMC.

(b)

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the Seller.

SECTION 2.03

Representations and Warranties of the Seller, Master Servicer and Servicers.

(a)

Each of DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, Wells Fargo, in its capacity as the Master Servicer, SPS, in its capacity as a Servicer, Wells Fargo, in its capacity as a Servicer and GreenPoint, in its capacity as a Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedules IIA, IIB, IIC, IID and IIE, respectively, as applicable, hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified.  In addition, SPS, Wells Fargo and GreenPoint, in their respective capacities as Servicers, hereby make the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedules IIC, IID and IIE hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Master Servicer, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified.

(b)

DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule III, applicable to the Mortgage Loans and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Trust Administrator, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule I hereto.

(c)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties and the Certificate Insurer.  The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in any Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller to the Trust Fund, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the related Servicer for any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and such related Servicer in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach.  With respect to any representation and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Seller, the Certificate Insurer, any Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01(b), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01.  No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.  Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the related Servicer and the Trust Administrator.  Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan.  Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall instruct the Custodian to release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution).  The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans and any amount owed under clause (iv) of the definition of Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Seller on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be repurchased or replaced hereunder.

One or more Mortgage Loans may be substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans.  The determination of whether a Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan may be satisfied on an individual basis.  Alternatively, if more than one Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the characteristics of such Mortgage Loans and Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be aggregated or calculated on a weighted average basis, as applicable, in determining whether such Mortgage Loans are Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.

In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L hereto, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.

SECTION 2.04

Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans during its period of ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian.

SECTION 2.05

Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of any of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Insurer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

SECTION 2.06

Issuance of Certificates.

The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans together with the assignment to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(a), is hereby acknowledged.  Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the Trust Administrator, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, has executed the Certificates and caused them to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor in authorized denominations which evidence ownership of the Trust Fund.  The rights of the Holders of such Certificates to receive distributions from the Trust Fund and all ownership interests of the Holders of the Certificates in such distributions shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.07

REMIC Provisions.  

(a)

The Depositor hereby elects and authorizes the Trust Administrator to treat the Trust Fund as the number of separate REMICs specified in the Preliminary Statement (each, a “REMIC”) under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law.  Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return (x) for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued and (y) for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which Certificates are first sold to a third party.  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.  Except as provided in Section 2.07(o), the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in the Master REMIC shall consist of the Class X Interest and the Certificates (other than the Class X and Class AR Certificates).  Class AR Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership of the “residual interest” in Subsidiary REMIC 1 and the Master REMIC.  Neither the Depositor nor the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC other than the Certificates and the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests.

(b)

The Trust Administrator on behalf of the Holders of the Class AR Certificates, shall act as agent for the Class AR Certificateholder as the “tax matters person” (within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) for each REMIC, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T.  By its acceptance of a Class AR Certificate, each Holder thereof shall have agreed to such appointment and shall have consented to the appointment of the Trust Administrator as its agent to act on behalf of each REMIC pursuant to the specific duties outlined herein.

(c)

A Holder of the Class AR Certificates, by the purchase of such Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed to timely pay, upon demand by the Trust Administrator, the amount of any minimum California state franchise taxes due with respect to each REMIC created hereunder under Sections 23151(a) and 23153(a) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Administrator shall be authorized to retain the amount of such tax from amounts otherwise distributable to such Holder in the event such Holder does not promptly pay such amount upon demand by the Trust Administrator.  In the event that any other federal, state or local tax is imposed, including without limitation taxes imposed on a “prohibited transaction” of a REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise available for distribution to the applicable Holder of a Class AR Certificate and then against amounts otherwise available for distribution to the Holders of Regular Certificates in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.01.  The Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall promptly deposit in the Certificate Account any amount of “prohibited transaction” tax that results from a breach of the Trust Administrator’s or the Trustee’s duties, respectively, under this Agreement.  The Master Servicer or the related Servicer shall promptly deposit in the Certificate Account any amount of “prohibited transaction” tax that results from a breach of the Master Servicer’s or such Servicer’s duties, respectively, under this Agreement.

(d)

The Trust Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and as agent on behalf of the tax matters person of each REMIC created hereunder and in such capacity the Trust Administrator shall:  (i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, federal and state tax returns (which returns the Trustee shall sign) using a calendar year as the taxable year for each REMIC created hereunder when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws as the direct representative of each such REMIC in compliance with the Code and shall provide copies of such returns as required by the Code; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder, to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; and (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to any governmental taxing authority all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator.  The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the related Servicer shall provide on a prompt and timely basis to the Trust Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each REMIC created hereunder as is in their possession and reasonably required or requested by the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.

In its capacity as attorney-in-fact and as agent on behalf of the tax matters person, the Trust Administrator shall also:  (A) act on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund, (B) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto and (C) cause to be paid solely from the sources provided herein the amount of any taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trust Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trust Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).

(e)

The Trust 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 such Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a permitted transferee, (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 and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of each REMIC created hereunder.

(f)

The Trustee, to the extent directed by the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the Holder of the Class AR Certificates (with respect to each REMIC) shall take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.  Neither the Trustee, to the extent directed or (in the case of a failure to act) not directed by the Trust Administrator, nor the Holders of the Residual Certificates shall take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause the Trust Fund to take) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon a REMIC (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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.

The Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Trust Administrator shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Master Servicer, a Servicer or the Depositor 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.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to a REMIC or their assets, or causing any REMIC created hereunder to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator will consult with the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Depositor or their designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC created hereunder and the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not take any such action or cause that REMIC to take any such action as to which the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Depositor has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
