Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings (a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to direct the Company to direct (to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement) the related Servicer that in the event that the Company does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01 (a) (ii) subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the related Servicer) or (ii) if the related Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement with the borrower. In the latter case, the related Servicer may complete such forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two Business Days notification. (b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may elect to instruct the Company to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such time as the Purchaser determines that the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days after the receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional information related to such foreclosure; provided, however, that the Purchaser will have at least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional information. Any such additional information shall be provided only to the extent it (i) is not confidential in nature and (ii) is obtainable by the related Servicer from existing reports, certificates or statements or is otherwise readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees that it has no right to deal with the mortgagor during such period. However, if such servicing activities include acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given two Business Days to respond. (c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 15 business days thereafter, and shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal. (d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c) above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company's estimate thereof, in which case the required deposit under this subsection shall be adjusted upon obtaining such Current Appraisal), and (ii) three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If any Election to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), within two Business Days the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount of each additional month's interest, as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit any of the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure or within two Business Days of the commencement of the Excess Period subject to Section 3.01. (e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the related Servicer for all related Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by such Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such Liquidation Expenses is determined by the Company based on estimated costs, and the actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher, the Company may withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the event that the Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor and the foreclosure action is discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral Fund shall be redeposited if and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related mortgage note. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund to cover Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser. (f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the related Servicer shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the delay in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the Purchaser shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do so, the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In any event, if the Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the mortgagor by the time the loan becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no longer be effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser shall purchase the Mortgage Loan from the related Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to the fair market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be paid by (x) applying any balance in the Collateral Fund to such to such purchase price, and (y) to the extent of any deficiency, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Purchaser to the Company for deposit in the related Certificate Account; or (ii) the related Servicer shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. (g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection (c) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (net of Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended foreclosure period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser.

Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings (a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect to instruct the Company to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable.

If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser if and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related mortgage note.

In connection therewith, the Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Monthly Advances and Liquidations Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section 2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent provided under such subsection in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company shall not be required to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same is stayed as a result of the mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by applicable law, or to the extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied with, or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach of representations or warranties by the Company, a Servicer, or a Seller, which may result in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the Company or related Servicer reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property may be contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and, without limiting the related Servicer's right not to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure, the Company supplies the Purchaser with information supporting such belief). Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (x) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Purchaser) or (y) with notice to the Purchaser if the related Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two Business Days of such notification. Any such instruction shall be based upon a decision that such forbearance agreement is not in conformity with reasonable servicing practices. (d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of liquidation (plus all unreimbursed interest and servicing advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid from the Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property, and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
