37

           In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) all interim recorded assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (ii) or (iii) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf 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, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

           In addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (v) above, concurrently with the

38

execution and delivery hereof because the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy be made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date; provided further, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to deliver an original or duplicate lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) if the Depositor delivers an Alternative Title Product in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding, in connection with any Mortgage Loan for which either the original or duplicate original title policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at any time during the term of this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does not have a long term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if rated by Fitch), then the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (if it has not previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

           Subject to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Master Servicer shall (i) complete each assignment of Mortgage, as follows: “First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-AR2, The Bank of New York, as trustee for the holders of the Certificates”, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records 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 assignments of Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master Servicer’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 receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation States.

           In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.

           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty days after the Closing Date, the Depositor shall either (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute or cause to be substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase or cause to be repurchased the

39

Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the Depositor fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty-day period provided in the prior sentence, the Depositor shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Depositor shall have five (5) Business Days to cure or cause to be cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day period, the Trustee or the Custodian, on its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty-day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

           SECTION 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

           The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it or the Custodian, as applicable, constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the Custodian, as applicable, holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

           The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Master Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its or the Custodian’s review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation 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.

           On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Delay Delivery Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

           Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Subsequent Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

40

           If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Subsequent Certification; provided, however that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall 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, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase 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, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) 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 Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee 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 Distribution Account Deposit Date for the 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 M hereto (delivery of which to the Custodian will be by electronic data transmission or email), the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the 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.

           The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

41

The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

           It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the Seller.

           The mortgage loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be included in the Trust Fund are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired pursuant to the MLPA, which contains, among other representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the Seller that no Mortgage Loan is a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive lending laws, and (ii) Substitute Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth in this Agreement and referred to in the MLPA, are required to conform to, among other representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the Seller set forth in the MLPA that no Substitute Mortgage Loan is a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive lending laws). It is therefore understood and agreed by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive lending laws.

42

           With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf 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 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to 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 Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the 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 Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall, upon the delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L, release or shall cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and 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 2.3.

           For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of

43

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 with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

           In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.5 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for 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 required by Section 2.5 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the Custodian to 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 the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.

           After giving effect to the sale of the Certificates by the Depositor to the Underwriters, and thereafter, so long as any Certificates remain outstanding, the Seller, its affiliates and agents, collectively, shall not beneficially own Certificates the aggregate fair value of which would represent 90% or more of the beneficial interests in the Trust Fund.

           The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

           SECTION 2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.

           The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it pursuant to the MLPA and immediately prior to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.

           It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely affects the

44

interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

           SECTION 2.5 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

           SECTION 2.6 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

           The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.

Each L1 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. Each L2 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each LZZZ Interest shall equal the excess of the Pool Principal Balance of its corresponding Mortgage Pool over the sum of the initial principal balances of the L1 Interests and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool.

           Unless a Cross-over Situation (as defined below) exists, principal and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Mortgage Pool shall be allocated first to cause the L1 and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool to equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of such Mortgage Pool as of such Distribution Date (after distributions of principal and allocation of Realized Losses are made) and all excess principal and Realized Losses shall be allocated to the LZZZ Interest corresponding to such Mortgage Pool. A L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date shall receive such principal, and have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such principal, on such Distribution Date. Similarly, a L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest that is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.

           A “Cross-over Situation” exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) the L1 and L2 Interests corresponding to any Mortgage Pool are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of the corresponding Mortgage Pool. If a Cross-over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average interest rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests is less than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate Certificates for the following Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to the outstanding L1 Interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Mortgage Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate Certificates. If a Cross-over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests is greater than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate Certificates for the following Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation Payment shall be made proportionately to the outstanding L2 Interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Mortgage Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate Certificates. A “Principal Reallocation Payment” is a distribution of the minimum amount of principal that causes the Calculation Rate (as defined below) with respect to the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests to equal the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate Certificates. The “Calculation Rate” shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests, treating each L1 Interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage of 100% of the interest accruing on such class. Principal Reallocation Payments shall be made from principal

47

received on the Mortgage Loans from a Mortgage Pool and shall also consist of a proportionate allocation of Realized Losses from the Mortgage Loans of a Mortgage Pool. For purposes of making Principal Reallocation Payments, to the extent that the principal received during the applicable collection period from the related Mortgage Pool and related Realized Losses are insufficient to make the necessary reduction of principal, then interest shall accrue on the LZZZ Interest (and be added to its principal balance) of the related Mortgage Pool to allow the necessary Principal Reallocation Payment to be made. The Calculation Rate is designed to always equal the Pass-Through Rate of each Class of Subordinated Certificates.

           If a Cross-over Situation exists, the aggregate principal balances of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests of all of the Mortgage Pools shall not be reduced below one percent of the aggregate Pool Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Pools for the following Distribution Date in excess of the Senior Certificates as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date). To the extent this limitation prevents the distribution of principal to the L1 and L2 Interests of a Mortgage Pool and the related LZZZ Interest has already been reduced to zero, such excess principal from such Mortgage Pool shall be paid proportionately to the LZZZ Interests of the Mortgage Pool or Pools whose aggregate L1 and L2 Interests are less than one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount. Any such shortfall as a result of the Mortgage Pool receiving the extra payment having a Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate lower than the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool from which the payment was reallocated shall be treated as a Realized Loss and if excess arises as result of the Mortgage Pool receiving the extra payment having a Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate higher than the Mortgage Pool from which the payment was reallocated it shall reimburse the Upper REMIC for prior Realized Losses. If on any Distribution Date, the L1 Interest or L2 Interest remains outstanding after the related Pool Principal Balance is at zero as of the beginning of the Accrual Period corresponding to such Distribution Date, their Lower REMIC Interest Rate shall be the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool with the lowest Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate that remains outstanding and the excess of interest at the Pass-Through Rate for the Subordinated Certificates over interest at such Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate shall be treated as paid from Lower REMIC to the Upper REMIC as reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.

           The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper 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 Trustee 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.

           SECTION 2.8 Covenants of the Master Servicer.

           The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

           SECTION 3.1 Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

           For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of (i) the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, pursuant to which First Tennessee Mortgage Services, Inc. engaged the Master Servicer to subservice the Mortgage Loans, (ii) this Agreement and (iii) the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers; provided that if there is a conflict between the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties

49

held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.

           In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.6, and further as provided in Section 3.8. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

           SECTION 3.2 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

50

           SECTION 3.3 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer.

           The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

           SECTION 3.4 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.

           In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement.

           The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

           Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in providing such reports and access.

           The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds.

58

           SECTION 3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

59

           SECTION 3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

           The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

           With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund’s capacity thereunder.

60

Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located. The Master 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 Trustee for filing.

           In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year after the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allow
