PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are parties to that
certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2006,
among the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee (the
“Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Section 11.01 of the Agreement provides
that the Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to correct any
provisions therein or to make or modify any provision therein with
respect to matters or questions arising under the Agreement which
shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Agreement incorrectly omitted that
the right to receive Prepayment Charges provided for in the
Agreement shall be evidenced by a certificate; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree:
1. That, as of the Effective Date, the Agreement
is hereby Amended to:
(a)
add the following definition of
“Class P Certificate” to Article I, Section 1.01 of the
Agreement:
“Class P
Certificate”: Any one of the certificates designated as a
“Class P Certificate” on the face thereof executed by
the Trustee, and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate
Registrar, in the form of Exhibit A-6 hereto, evidencing the right
to Prepayment Charges set forth in Section 3.18 hereof. The Class P
Certificate shall at all times be issued in the name of the
Servicer and shall not evidence ownership of a Regular Interest in
any REMIC issued under the Agreement.
(b)
replace the second paragraph of
Section 3.18 to the Agreement in its entirety with the
following:
“Additional servicing compensation in the
form of assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds
charges, Prepayment Charges, ancillary income or otherwise shall be
retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges
are received by the Servicer. The right to receive any such
Prepayment Charges shall be evidenced by the issuance of a Class P
Certificate which shall not be separately transferable from the
servicing and shall at all times be issued in the name of the
Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant to
Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the
insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are
not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer and
servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.”
(c) add Annex 1
hereto as Exhibit A-6 to the Agreement.
2. Except as expressly modified or amended in
this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that all of the terms,
covenants, provisions, agreements and conditions of the Agreement
are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall remain
unmodified and unchanged and shall continue in full force and
effect.
3. The Depositor hereby certifies that all
conditions for the execution of this Amendment have been
satisfied.
4. The Trustee's reporting obligations with
respect to the Class P Certificate will begin with the Distribution
Date in January 2007.
5. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.
6. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which, taken
together, shall constitute one and the same instrument and that
this Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York (excluding provisions regarding conflicts of
laws) and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly
executed this Amendment as of the date first above
written.
