The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account.

of the Interim Servicing Agreement All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
Servicing of the Mortgage Loans The Mortgage Loans have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis. Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Purchaser the Servicing Rights. The Purchaser shall retain the Interim Servicer as contract servicer of the Mortgage Loans for an interim period pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein). The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to execute the Interim Servicing Agreement on the initial Closing Date. Pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Interim Servicer shall begin servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Purchaser and shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loans until the applicable Transfer Date. The Interim Servicer shall conduct such servicing in accordance with the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Interim Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the Interim Servicer as provided in the Interim Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Seller shall assign its obligation to service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Purchaser to its interim subservicer, which, on the date of this Agreement, is either Option One Mortgage Corporation or Litton Loan Servicing, LP.
Sub-Servicing Accounts In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the related Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Sub-Servicing Account”). Each Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans received by such Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Each Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the related Mortgage Loans when the related Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

Sub-Servicing Agreements (a) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.22(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan and (vii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to. Any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and shall assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder shall terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(d) In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.22, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust Fund bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(f) The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(g) Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(h) With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
