WITNESSETH THAT

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

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account, (iii) the Net WAC Cap Account, (iv) the Cap Agreement, (v) the Cap Account, (vi) the Final Maturity Reserve Fund, and (vii) the External Trust (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” and “REMIC 3”). 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.

Each Offered Certificate represents ownership of a regular interest in the REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Offered Certificate represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Net WAC Cap Carryover and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls.

The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3.

The Class X Certificate represents ownership of four regular interests in REMIC 3 as described in footnote (14) as well as ownership of the Excluded Trust Assets and the obligation to make Net Swap Payments to the Swap Counterparty and the obligation to make payments in respect of Net WAC Cap Carryover.

REMIC 3 shall hold as assets the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class R-2 interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 1, other than the Class R-1 interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the lower tier interests in REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and the Excluded Trust Assets.

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 Latest Possible Maturity Date.

REMIC 1

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

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be the lesser of (i) the product of (a) the Fixed Rate, as that term is defined in the Swap Agreement, multiplied by (b) in the case of the first Distribution Date only, the quotient of 54 divided by 30, and for each Distribution Date thereafter, two, and (ii) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate) multiplied by (b) two.

(2)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate) multiplied by (b) two, over (ii) the product of (a) the Fixed Rate, as that term is defined in the Swap Agreement, multiplied by (b) for the first Distribution Date only, the quotient of 54 divided by 30, and for each Distribution Date thereafter, two.

(3)	For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate).

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

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount first to pay fees and expenses of the trust, other than any Net Swap Payment owed to the Counterparty, and then with respect to each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount sequentially to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, first to the LT- A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then in ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC 1 Regular Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such interest, until the principal balance of each such interest is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

REMIC 2

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

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, weighted on the basis of their principal balances as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period, provided, however, that: (i) for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-Swap-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC 1 Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote three below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the product of (a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement) multiplied by (b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by 30; and (ii) for each Distribution Date on and after the Distribution Date in October 2016, the interest rate on each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall be first reduced by the product of (i) the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (a) the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the 40-Year Loans divided by (b) the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance.

(2)

The Class LT-Reserve-IO is and interest-only class that does not have a principal balance. The Class LT-Reserve-IO has a notional balance that will at all times equal the sum of the principal balances of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and it shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.00% for each Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) on or before the Distribution Date in October 2016, and for each Distribution Date on and after the Distribution Date in October 2016, shall accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to the product of (i) the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (a) the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the 40-Year Loans divided by (b) the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance. .

(3)

The Class LT-Swap-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 LT-Swap-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests listed in 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 1 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement) multiplied by (b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by 30.
