Section 3.01

Servicer to Service.

The Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans from and after the Closing Date and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices.

Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Servicer additionally agree as follows:

(a)

The Servicer shall (A) record or cause to be recorded the Mortgage or the Assignment of Mortgage, as applicable, with respect to all MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans, in the name of MERS, or shall ascertain that such have previously been so recorded; (B) prepare or cause to be prepared all Assignments of Mortgage with respect to all Non-MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans; (C) prepare for recording or cause to be recorded, subject to Section 2.02(b) hereof, all Assignments of Mortgage with respect to Non-MERS Mortgage Loans in the name of the Trust; (D) pay the recording costs pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof; and/or (E) track such Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have been recorded. The Servicer shall be entitled to be paid by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), on behalf of the Depositor, its out-of-pocket costs for the preparation and recordation of the Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgage. After the expenses of such recording costs pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof shall have been paid by the Servicer, the Servicer shall submit to each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) a reasonably detailed invoice for reimbursement of recording costs it incurred hereunder. The Seller, upon receipt of an invoice, shall reimburse the Servicer within five (5) Business Days;

(b)

If applicable, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as the same may be amended from time to time, and the regulations provided in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, provide notice to the Mortgagor of each Mortgage Loan of the transfer of the servicing thereto to the Servicer; and

(c)

The Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of and costs associated with notifications to Mortgagors of the assumption of servicing by the Servicer.

(d)

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.15 hereof, the Servicer may waive any late payment charge, assumption fee or other fee (other than a Prepayment Charge) that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not make any future advances to any Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan, and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Mortgage Loan, including any modification that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate (except for modifications relating to Relief Act Reduction), defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, make a Monthly Advance in accordance with Section 4.03, in an amount equal to the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 4.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause the REMIC or trust fund created under the Trust Agreement 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.

Section 3.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the Closing Date until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 3.03

Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Accounts.

(a)

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall initially establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Option One Mortgage Corporation in trust for Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee for Amortizing Residential Collateral Trust, 2002-BC8.” Any Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository.

If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within ten (10) Business Days of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.07

The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance the minimum coverage of which shall be at least equal to the coverage required by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide or Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides (unless a waiver of such requirement has been obtained by the Servicer from either Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae). Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance shall be maintained with recognized insurers, shall be in such form and amount as would permit the Servicer to be qualified as a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer, and shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

Section 3.09

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related interest rate adjustment date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note.

The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Master Servicer that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused thereby.

Section 3.10

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each escrowed Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable regulations. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments. With respect to non-escrowed Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they are first to become due and to ensure that the Mortgaged Property is not subjected to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment and that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured. The Servicer shall advance its funds to effect payments on any such delinquent payments to avoid lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgage Property or to avoid the sale or other loss of the Mortgaged Property to a tax lien. Such advances made by the Servicer shall be considered Servicing Advances subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.04 herein.

Section 3.11

Protection of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer any Custodial Account or any Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall give notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of the location of each Custodial Account maintained by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans when established and prior to any change thereof.

The Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Trustee or the Master Servicer if the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”), the Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Section 3.12

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee (or MERS, as applicable), or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Master Servicer or NIMS Insurer otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged by the Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and NIMS Insurer with a written report of such environmental inspection. In the event that the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the event that the environmental inspection report is inconclusive as to the whether or not the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of both the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In such instance, the Master Servicer and/or the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have approved such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure unless either notifies the Servicer in writing, within three (3) days after its receipt of written notice of the proposed foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure from the Servicer, that it disapproves of the related foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made pursuant to this paragraph with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provide a copy of the same to the NIMS Insurer) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension (and provide a copy of the same to the NIMS Insurer), then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value, as acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Master Servicer shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund and the NIMS Insurer with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time it becomes an REO Property.

Prior to acceptance by the Servicer of an offer to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer of such offer in writing which notification shall set forth all material terms of said offer (each a “Notice of Sale”). The Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless either of them notifies the Servicer in writing, within three (3) days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall not proceed with such sale." The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. After the expenses of such disposition shall have been paid, the Servicer shall reimburse itself pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof for any unreimbursed Servicing Fees or Servicing Advances or unreimbursed Monthly Advances it incurred with respect to such REO Property.

The Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae Guides. The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Trustee of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 3.12 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 3.13

Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall furnish by electronic transmission to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as either the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer shall reasonably request.

Section 3.14

MERS.

(a)

The Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each MERS Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

(b)

The Servicer shall maintain in good standing its membership in MERS. In addition, the Servicer shall comply with all rules, policies and procedures of MERS, including the Rules of Membership, as amended, and the MERS Procedures Manual, as amended.

(c)

With respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Servicer shall promptly notify MERS as to any transfer of beneficial ownership or release of any security interest in such Mortgage Loans.

(d)

With respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Servicer shall notify MERS as to any transfer of servicing pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 9.01 within 10 Business Days of such transfer of servicing. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer to the extent necessary to ensure that such transfer of servicing is appropriately reflected on the MERS system.

Section 3.15

Waiver of Prepayment Penalties.

Except as provided below, the Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer or its designee fails to collect a Prepayment Charge at the time of the related prepayment of any Mortgage Loan subject to such Prepayment Charge or waives a Prepayment Charge other than a waiver pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) below of this Section 3.15, the Servicer shall pay to the Trust Fund at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to the amount of the Prepayment Charge not collected, provided, however, the Servicer shall not have any obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge under this Section 3.15 if the failure to collect such amount is the result of inaccurate or incomplete information in the Prepayment Charge Schedule provided by Xxxxxx Capital and which is included as part of the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Prepayment Charges listed on the Prepayment Charge Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A are a complete, true and accurate and may be relied on by the Servicer in its calculation of Prepayment Charges. If the Prepayment Charge data set forth on Exhibit A is incorrect, then the Servicer shall have no liability for any loss resulting from calculation of Prepayment Charges using the data provided. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee may waive a Prepayment Charge without paying to the Trust Fund the amount of such Prepayment Charge only if the related prepayment is not the result of a refinancing by the Servicer or its designee and such waiver (i) relates to a defaulted Mortgage Loan or a reasonably foreseeable default, such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans, and such waiver, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would maximize recovery of total proceeds from the Mortgage Loan, taking into account the amount of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, or (ii) relates to a prepayment charge the collection of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would be a violation of applicable laws.

Section 3.16

Servicing and Administration of PMI Policies.

(a)

The Servicer shall take all such actions on behalf of the Trustee as are necessary to service, maintain and administer PMI Policies and to perform and enforce the rights under such Policies for its own account. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the Trust to do anything it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection with the servicing, maintenance and administration of the PMI Policies. The Servicer shall not take, or permit any subservicer to modify or assume a Mortgage Loan covered by a PMI Policy or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage Loan which would result in non-coverage under any PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. If a PMI Insurer fails to pay a claim under a PMI Policy as a result of breach by the Servicer or a sub-servicer of its obligations hereunder or under a PMI Policy, the Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Custodial Account on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date an amount equal to such unpaid claim from its own funds without any right to reimbursement from the Trust Fund. To the extent coverage is available, the Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect the Insurance Policies for as long as any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall cooperate with each PMI Insurer and shall use its best efforts to furnish all reasonable aid, evidence and information in the possession of the Servicer to which the Servicer has access with respect to any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in a PMI Policy, the Servicer shall not be required to submit any reports to a PMI Insurer until a reporting date that is at least 15 days after the Servicer has received sufficient loan level information from Xxxxxx Capital to appropriately code its servicing system in accordance with such PMI Insurer’s requirements.

(b)

The Servicer shall deposit into the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.03(xiii) hereof all Insurance Proceeds received from the PMI Insurer under the terms of a PMI Policy.

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, the Servicer shall not take any action in regard to any PMI Policy inconsistent with the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders or with the rights and interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement.

(d)

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents (within fifteen (15) days upon request from the Servicer) in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer any PMI Policy; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney.

Section 3.17

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than the amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy.

Any payments by the Servicer for hazard insurance, other than as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.17, shall be deemed Servicing Advances, reimbursable in accordance with Section 3.04(ix), to the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.17, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.17, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Custodial Account from its own funds without right of reimbursement the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

Section 3.18

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Servicer shall, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans (including selling any such Mortgage Loans other than converting the ownership of the related properties) as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.04. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an uninsured cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such Mortgaged Property unless in its determination such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(b)

If the Servicer determines that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders to sell a Distressed Mortgage Loan rather than foreclosing, the Servicer may effect such a sale. The net proceeds of such sale shall be Liquidation Proceeds.

(c)

Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or REO Disposition Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to unpaid General Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer or any sub-servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 3.04; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the recovery so allocated to any unpaid Option One Servicing Fee shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.04.

Section 3.19

Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreement.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply its own underwriting standards, provided such standards follow practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Interest Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been contemplated by forwarding to each of them a copy of such agreement (identifying the Mortgage File to which it relates). The Servicer shall forward an original copy of such document to the Custodian to be held by the Custodian with the other documents related to such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.19, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

PAYMENTS TO MASTER SERVICER

Section 4.01

Remittances.

On each Remittance Date, no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, the Servicer shall remit on a scheduled/scheduled basis by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Master Servicer (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the last day of the related Due Period (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04), plus (b) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer or other Advancing Person is obligated to make pursuant to Section 4.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or REO Disposition Proceeds received after the applicable Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(vii), and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the first day of the month in which such Remittance Date occurs, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Date related to such Monthly Payment.

With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two (2) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Remittance Date and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Master Servicer or the Trustee.

All remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer shall be made on a scheduled/scheduled basis to the following wire account or to such other account as may be specified by the Master Servicer from time to time:

JPMorgan Chase Bank,

Section 4.02

Statements to Master Servicer.

Not later than the 10th calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer (a) a monthly remittance advice in the format set forth in Exhibit D-1 hereto and a monthly defaulted loan report in the format set forth in Exhibit D-2 hereto (or upon such other format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer) and (b) all such information required pursuant to clause (a) above on a magnetic tape, electronic mail, or other similar media reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

Such monthly remittance advice shall also be accompanied with a supplemental report provided to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Seller which includes on an aggregate basis for the previous Due Period (i) the amount of claims filed, (ii) the amount of any claim payments made, (iii) the amount of claims denied or curtailed and (iv) policies cancelled with respect to those Mortgage Loans covered by any PMI Policy purchased by a Seller on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer will convert such data into a format acceptable to the Trustee and provide monthly reports to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in a PMI Policy, the Servicer shall not be required to submit any supplemental reports including the foregoing data with respect to a PMI Policy until a reporting date that is at least 15 days after the Servicer has received sufficient loan level information from each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) to appropriately code its servicing system in accordance with the PMI Insurer’s requirements.

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, commencing December 31, 2002, the Servicer shall provide (as such information becomes reasonably available to the Servicer) to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer such information concerning the Mortgage Loans and annual remittances to the Master Servicer therefrom as is necessary for each Certificateholder to prepare its federal income tax return. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Servicer to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

Beginning with calendar year 2003, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare the Trust Fund’s federal income tax return and for any investor in the Certificates to prepare any required tax return.

Section 4.03

Monthly Advances by Servicer.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to the aggregate of all Monthly Advances relating to Monthly Payments which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were Delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and will provide such records to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer upon request. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Servicer’s right to (i) pass through late collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making Monthly Advances (ii) reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from late collections on the related Mortgage Loans or (iii) utilize an Advancing Person (as defined below).

The Servicer shall make Monthly Advances through the Distribution Date immediately preceding the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loans; provided, however, the Servicer shall cease to make Monthly Advances when it deems such advances to be Non-Recoverable Advances.

The Servicer may enter into a facility with any person which provides that such person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Monthly Advances required under this Section 4.03 and/or Servicing Advances, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances. Any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances made by an Advancing Person shall be reimbursed to the Advancing Person by the Servicer in the same manner as reimbursements would be made to the Servicer under Section 3.04 if such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advance were funded by the Servicer; provided that neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Trust Fund shall have any liability or obligation to make any payment to any Advancing Person, nor shall any of them have any liability for any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances reimbursed to the Servicer rather than to an Advancing Person.

Section 4.04

Compensating Interest.

The Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Custodial Account, and retain therein with respect to each Principal Prepayment, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the related Due Period. Such deposit shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefore, up to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount or (ii) the General Servicing Fee. To the extent that the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount exceeds the Option One Servicing Fee, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) agrees to subordinate the Seller Remittance Amount to cover such shortfall in any Compensating Interest Payment. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to any Relief Act Reduction or bankruptcy.

Section 4.05

Credit Reporting.

For each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with its current servicing practices, the Servicer will accurately and fully report its underlying borrower credit files to each of the following credit repositories or their successors: Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information Solution, Inc., on a monthly basis in a timely manner.

ARTICLE V.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 5.01

Servicing Compensation; Seller Remittance Amount.

As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall retain (a) the Option One Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan remaining subject to this Agreement during any month and (b) Ancillary Income. The Option One Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly.

The obligation of the Trust Fund to pay the Option One Servicing Fee is limited as provided in Section 3.04(a)(iii). The aggregate of the Option One Servicing Fees for any month with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to such month. In addition, the Seller Remittance Amount shall be used to pay the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount to the extent not covered by the Option One Servicing Fee. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unpaid Option One Servicing Fee and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) shall be entitled to recover the Seller Remittance Amount, to the extent not remitted, out of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted in Section 3.04 and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.12.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.04 and Section 3.06 to withdraw from the Custodial Account and Escrow Account, respectively, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.11.

The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.02

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 shall survive the engagement of the Servicer to perform the servicing responsibilities as of the Closing Date hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Servicer and shall inure to the benefit of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property, the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property or the interest of either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Servicer of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 6.01 which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Servicer shall, at the option of the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, assign the Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer with the prior consent and approval of the NIMS Insurer. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with Section 9.01 and 9.02.

In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee and hold each of them harmless against any Costs resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Servicer's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this Section 6.02 constitute the sole remedies of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee hereunder respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 6.01 shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Servicer or notice thereof by either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Depositor to the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Servicer to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Servicer by either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer for compliance with this Agreement.

Section 6.03

Additional Indemnification by the Servicer; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer shall indemnify each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trust Fund and hold them harmless against any and all Costs that any such indemnified party may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the failure of the Servicer to cause any event to occur which would have occurred if the Servicer were applying Accepted Servicing Practices under this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or any other relevant party if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party in the event of an indemnified claim) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any other party in respect of such claim and, in the event of a claim indemnified by any other party, follow any written instructions received from such indemnifying party in connection with such claim. Subject to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be promptly reimbursed from the Trust Fund for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence and any attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses arising out of or in any way relating to the defense by Servicer of its right to such reimbursement or enforcement against any other party hereto of Servicer’s right to such reimbursement.

Section 6.04

Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate, the NIMS Insurer or the Trust Fund now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

ARTICLE VII.

THE SERVICER

Section 7.01

Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall, with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, and (ii) which is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and is a Xxxxxxx Mac-approved or Xxxxxx Mae-approved servicer in good standing.

Section 7.02

Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor or the Trustee hereunder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer, undertake any such action which it deems necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

Section 7.03

Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer.

Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, which consent, in the case of an assignment of rights or delegation of duties, shall be granted or withheld in the discretion of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, and which consent, in the case of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Servicer, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case, there must be delivered to each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates or of the NIM Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, may retain third-party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions; provided, however, that the retention of such contractors by Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 9.01.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, then such parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 8.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

Section 7.04

Subservicing Agreements and Successor Subservicer.

(a)

The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements for any servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac servicer as indicated in writing, (ii) which represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state as necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement and (iii) which is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. For this purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of a tax service, or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property. The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a copy of such subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by any subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns.

(b)

The Servicer, with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, may terminate any subservicing agreement to which it is a party in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a subservicing agreement with a successor subservicer that qualifies under Section 7.04(a).

(c)

Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 7.05

Inspection.

Upon reasonable advanced notice (which advance notice shall be no less than 48 hours advance notice), the Servicer shall accommodate the Master Servicer’s and the NIMS Insurer’s access during normal business hours to all records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer its most recent publicly available financial statements and such other information relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

Section 8.01

Termination for Cause.

This Agreement shall be terminable at the option of the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer if any of the following events of default exist on the part of the Servicer:

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by the Servicer from the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer; or

(ii)

failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 15 days; or

(iii)

failure by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction, if required by such jurisdiction, where the Mortgaged Property is located; or

(iv)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(v)

the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)

the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its normal business operations for three Business Days; or

(vii)

the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer; or

(viii)

the Servicer attempts to assign the servicing of the Mortgage Loans or its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, in each case without complying fully with the provisions of Section 7.03.

In each and every such case, so long as an event of default shall not have been remedied within the applicable cure period, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, by notice in writing to the Servicer, and with the consent of the other parties, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the servicing contract established hereby and the proceeds thereof.

Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in a successor servicer appointed by the Master Servicer with the consent of the NIMS Insurer. Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

By a written notice, the Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, or the NIMS Insurer may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 8.02

Termination Without Cause.

(a)

This Agreement shall terminate upon: (i) the later of (a) the distribution of the final payment or liquidation proceeds on the last Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer or Trust Fund, and (b) the disposition of all REO Property acquired upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder or (ii) mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer in writing, provided such termination is also acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the NIMS Insurer. In addition, with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) may terminate this Agreement with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Mortgage Loans, without cause, provided, that each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) gives the Servicer 30 days’ notice prior to any such termination, but in no event shall such termination occur prior to the Closing Date. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 9.03. Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Servicer shall comply with the termination procedures set forth in Section 9.01 hereof. In the case of Mortgage Loans which have been serviced by the Servicer under the Bank Servicing Agreement less than six months prior to the date of termination without cause under this Section 8.02, the termination fee to be paid by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) from its own funds without reimbursement for a termination of servicing without cause pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be equal to $15.00 per Mortgage Loan, payable no later than five Business Days following the date of such termination. All unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances still owing the Servicer shall be deducted by the Servicer from the final remittance of the funds to the successor servicer. Should such funds be insufficient to pay for all unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances, the Seller shall reimburse the Servicer within five (5) days upon receipt of an invoice from the Servicer without right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund. In connection with any termination pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 8.02(a), all unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances still owing the Servicer shall be paid at the time of such termination by the Trust Fund.

Upon a termination of the Servicer for cause pursuant to Section 8.01, all unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances still owing the Servicer shall be paid by the Trust Fund as such amounts are received from the related Mortgage Loans. In connection with any termination without cause pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8.02(a), each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) or successor servicer will be responsible for reimbursing the Servicer for all unreimbursed out-of-pocket Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and Option One Servicing Fees and other reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with any transfer of servicing at the time of such transfer of servicing if, and only if, funds in the Collection Account are not sufficient to reimburse the Servicer for all such unreimbursed fees and advances. Any invoices received by the Servicer after termination will be forwarded to each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), which such Seller or successor servicer shall pay within five (5) Business Days upon receipt from the Servicer.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer decides to terminate its obligations under this Agreement as set forth in clause (ii) of Section 8.02(a), the Servicer agrees that it will continue to service the Mortgage Loans beyond the prescribed termination date until such time as the Master Servicer, using reasonable commercial efforts, is able to appoint a successor servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and otherwise meeting the characteristics of Sections 7.01 and 9.01.

Section 8.03

Termination for Distressed Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 8.03, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) may terminate this Agreement with the prior consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer, with respect to the servicing of those Mortgage Loans that are determined to be Distressed Mortgage Loans as of the Notice Date and servicing of such Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to the Special Servicer. The appointment of a Special Servicer by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the execution of a special servicing agreement between each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer shall be subject to the consent the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and the receipt of confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer shall not result in a reduction of any rating previously given by such Rating Agency to any Certificate or the NIMS Securities. Any monthly fee paid to the Special Servicer in connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Special Servicer shall not exceed one-twelfth of the product of (a) 0.50% and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan. All unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances owing to the Servicer relating to such Distressed Mortgage Loans shall be reimbursed and paid to the Servicer upon such transfer to the Special Servicer.

(b)

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with a transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Trustee or any other Person in appointing a Special Servicer, or of transferring the Servicing Files and the other necessary data to the Special Servicer, shall be paid by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) from its own funds without reimbursement. Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) shall be responsible for the delivery of all required Transfer Notices and will send a copy of the Transfer Notice to the Master Servicer.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03, the NIMS Insurer may, at its option, withhold their consent to the transfer of a Distressed Mortgage Loan to a Special Servicer and elect to purchase such Distressed Mortgage Loan at a price equal to its Purchase Price. Prior to such purchase, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Distressed Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, the Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall cease when it deems such Monthly Advances to be non-recoverable. Any such purchase of a Distressed Mortgage Loan shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account established pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Trust Agreement of the amount of the Purchase Price. The Servicers on behalf of the Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such Distressed Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all Servicing Files and other related documentation to the NIMS Insurer.

Any successor to the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and, to the extent required by the Trust Agreement, shall be a member in good standing of the MERS system (if any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans, unless such Mortgage Loans are withdrawn from MERS and Assignments of Mortgage are recorded in favor of the Trustee at the expense of the successor servicer). The final approval of a successor servicer shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates or the NIMS Securities. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree, provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the General Servicing Fee permitted under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor servicer shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01, or until the Master Servicer succeeds to and assumes all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 9.01, and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 6.01 and the remedies available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) under Section 6.02 and 6.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 shall be applicable not only to such successor servicer but also to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.

Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days after the appointment of a successor entity and after due notification to the Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer of the Mortgage Notes and related documents, and the Assignments of Mortgage. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), as applicable, and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor servicer, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Any successor servicer appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) an instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 (including a representation that the successor servicer is a member of MERS, unless none of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans or MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans or any such Mortgage Loans have been withdrawn from MERS and Assignments of Mortgage are recorded in favor of the Trustee) and provide for the same remedies set forth in Section 6.02 and Section 6.03 herein (ii) an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under this Agreement, whereupon such successor servicer shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02 shall not affect any claims that each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation. In addition, in the event any successor servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Agreement, such successor servicer must satisfy the conditions relating to the transfer of servicing set forth in the Trust Agreement.

The Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Loan documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Depositor of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.03.

Section 9.02

Costs.

Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) shall pay any legal fees and expenses of its attorneys. Costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the servicing responsibilities pursuant to Section 9.01 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, including fees for delivering Servicing Files, shall be paid by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) within five (5) Business Days upon receipt of an invoice from the Servicer. Subject to Sections 2.02 and 3.01(a), each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) shall pay the costs associated with the preparation, delivery and recording of Assignments of Mortgages if performed by the Servicer.

Section 9.03

Section 9.04

Severability Clause.

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is as close as possible to the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

Section 9.05

No Personal Solicitation.

From and after the related Closing Date, the Servicer hereby agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage brokerage companies on the Servicer’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may not solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of mortgage status, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, or the mortgagor initiates a title search, and shall refer such Mortgagor to the Seller or its agent as provided by the Seller to the Servicer; provided, however, if upon such referral by the Servicer of such Mortgagor to the Seller or its agent, the Mortgagor decides to refinance such Mortgage Loan with the Servicer, the Seller shall not hinder the Mortgagor’s right to choose its refinancing agent, and may solicit such Mortgagor for refinancing; provided further, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional projects or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio, telephone and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 9.05 nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor.

Section 9.06

Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.07

Place of Delivery and Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New York. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, NOTWITHSTANDING NEW YORK OR OTHER CHOICE OF LAW RULES TO THE CONTRARY.

Section 9.08

Further Agreements.

Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Servicer each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.09

Intention of the Parties.

It is the intention of the parties that each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) is conveying, and the Servicer is receiving, only a contract for servicing the Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Trust Fund remains the sole and absolute owner of the Mortgage Loans and all rights (other than the servicing rights) related thereto.

Section 9.10

Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Subservicing Agreement.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Servicer, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Servicer to a third party except in accordance with Section 7.03 and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) without the consent of the NIMS Insurer except as and to the extent provided in Section 9.11.

Section 9.11

Assignment by Seller.

Each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) shall have the right, upon notice to but without the consent of the Servicer, to assign, in whole or in part (but exclusive of such Seller’s rights and obligations as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans), its interest under this Agreement to the Depositor, which in turn shall assign such rights to the Trustee, and the Trustee then shall succeed to all rights of each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) under this Agreement. All references to either Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee and any subsequent assignee or designee, specifically including the Trustee.

Section 9.12

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans), by written agreement signed by the Master Servicer, each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) and the Servicer; provided that the party requesting such amendment shall, at its own expense, provide the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer has complied with all applicable requirements of this Agreement, and such amendment will not materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans or the NIM Securities.

Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any of the interest of the Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans or the NIM Securities if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify or withdraw the then current rating assigned to the Certificates and the NIM Securities (and any Opinion of Counsel requested by the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and each Seller (with respect to its related Mortgage Loans) in connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor).

Section 9.13

Waivers.

No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced and is consented to by the NIMS Insurer.

Section 9.14

Exhibits.

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

Section 9.15

Intended Third Party Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement agree that it is appropriate, in furtherance of the intent of such parties as set forth herein, that the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer receive the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent of such provisions. The Servicer shall have the same obligations to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer as if they were parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee (acting through the Master Servicer) and the NIMS Insurer shall have the same rights and remedies to enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if they were parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall only take direction from the Master Servicer (if direction by the Master Servicer is required under this Agreement) unless otherwise directed by this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and any obligations of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Servicer hereunder (other than the right to indemnification) shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement and all rights of the NIMS Insurer set forth in this Agreement (other than the right of indemnification) shall exist only so long as the NIM Securities remain outstanding or the NIMS Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its guarantee of payment on such NIMS Securities.

Section 9.16

Confidentiality.

All parties to this Agreement hereby agree to hold and treat all Confidential Information (as defined below) in confidence and in accordance with this Section 9.16. Such Confidential Information will not, without the prior written consent of the Servicer, be disclosed or used by the Trustee or the Master Servicer or by its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons (collectively, the “Information Recipients”) other than for the purpose of taking permitted action under this Agreement or for the purposes specified in the Trust Agreement or this Agreement. Disclosure that is not in violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, as amended, the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999, as amended, (the “G-L-B Act”) or other applicable law by the Trustee or the Master Servicer of any Confidential Information at the request of its outside auditors or governmental regulatory authorities in connection with an examination of the Master Servicer by any such authority or for the purposes specified in the Trust Agreement or this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of its obligations under this Section 9.16, and shall not require the prior consent of the Servicer.

As used herein, “Confidential Information” means non-public personal information (as defined in the G-L-B Act and its enabling regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission) regarding borrowers. Confidential Information shall not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Trustee or the Master Servicer or any of its Information Recipients; (ii) was available to the Trustee or the Master Servicer on a non-confidential basis from a person or entity other than the Servicer prior to its disclosure to the Trustee; (iii) is required to be disclosed by a governmental authority or related governmental agencies or as otherwise required by law; (iv) becomes available to the Trustee or the Master Servicer on a non-confidential basis from a person or entity other than the Servicer who, to the best knowledge of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Servicer, and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Trustee or the Master Servicer, or (v) is released pursuant to the Trust Agreement or this Agreement.
