The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from time to time the Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance on the applicable Cut-off Date in an amount as set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, or in such other amount as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date. The Seller shall deliver the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on the applicable Closing Date to the Purchaser at least four (4) Business Days prior to such Closing Date or such other date as has been set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter. The parties hereby acknowledge that the Purchaser has no obligation to purchase any Mortgage Loans from the Seller except as expressly agreed to from time to time.

Section 2.02

Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate Stated Principal Balance, as of the applicable Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, after application of scheduled payments of principal due on or before the applicable Cut-off Date, whether or not collected. If so provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the current Stated Principal Balance of the respective pool of Mortgage Loans, as of the applicable Cut-off Date at the weighted average Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate from such Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive. The Purchase Price plus accrued interest as set forth in the preceding paragraph shall be paid on the applicable Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Further, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the costs and fees expected to be associated with the recording of an Assignment with respect to each Mortgage Loan (such amount may be set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.)

The Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the applicable Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected on or after such Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before such Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller or any successor servicer after such Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of applicable Servicing Fees and LPMI Rates, if applicable (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the applicable Cut-off Date). The outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the applicable Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before such Cut-off Date whether or not collected, together with any unscheduled principal prepayments collected prior to such Cut-off Date; provided, however, that payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the applicable Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of such Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser.

Section 2.03

Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans listed on each Mortgage Loan Schedule, that is subject to the terms of this Agreement.

As of the applicable Closing Date, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance in the form of Exhibit H1 hereto with respect to Mortgage Loans, pursuant to which the Seller shall sell, transfer, set over and convey the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, without recourse, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser shall have subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans. The delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be on the applicable Closing Date at the expense of the Seller. The Seller shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser. The Servicing File shall contain all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Seller is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Seller is in a custodial capacity only. From the applicable Closing Date, the ownership of each related Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, shall be vested in the Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the Seller shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. The Seller shall release its custody of the contents of the Mortgage Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Purchaser, except when such release is required as incidental to the Seller’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or Loans with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.05

Books and Records.

The sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Seller. The Seller shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. In particular, the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Purchaser, or its designee and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of FNMA or FHLMC, as applicable, including but not limited to documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by FNMA or FHLMC (if required under the Underwriting Guidelines) and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 4.13. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Seller may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents. The Seller shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall provide to any supervisory agents or examiners that regulate Purchaser, including but not limited to, the OTS, the FDIC and other similar entities, access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller and without charge to Seller or such supervisory agents or examiners, any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans that may be required by any applicable regulations or regulator.

Section 2.06

Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

The Seller shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Seller shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Seller shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Seller in accordance with this Section 2.06. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Seller unless a copy of an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement of this Agreement (or equivalent agreement), mutually agreeable to the parties, executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Seller. The Purchaser also shall advise the Seller of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Seller shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser intends to transfer the Mortgage Loans to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee pursuant to a Securitization Transaction and agrees to deliver the related Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement (or equivalent agreement).

Section 2.07

Examination of Mortgage Files; Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Prior to or following each Closing Date (as mutually agreed upon by the parties and specified in the applicable Purchase Price and Terms Letter), the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, (a) deliver to the Purchaser or its designee in escrow, for examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased (or such percentage sample of Mortgage Loans as mutually agreed upon by the parties and specified in the applicable Purchase Price and Terms Letter), the related Mortgage File, including a copy of the Assignment, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the related Mortgage File available to the Purchaser, or its designee, for examination at the Seller’s offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or its designee upon reasonable notice to the Seller and during normal business hours at a time acceptable to the Purchaser for purposes of ensuring that the Mortgage Loans have been underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines and to ensure conformity with the terms of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter. If the Purchaser makes such examination prior to the related Closing Date and determines, in its sole discretion, that any Mortgage Loan does not so conform to the Underwriting Guidelines, this agreement or the terms of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and may, at the Purchaser’s option, be replaced by a substitute Mortgage Loan which meets the requirements set forth in Section 3.03. If the Purchaser makes such examination after the related Closing Date and determines, in its sole discretion, that any Mortgage Loan does not so conform to the Underwriting Guidelines or the terms of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan(s), at the Repurchase Price, upon Purchaser’s written notice. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase some or all of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein.

On each Closing Date, the Seller shall release to the Purchaser or its designee the related Mortgage Loan Documents. No later than four (4) Business Days prior to each Closing Date or such other date as has been set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, and notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the related Mortgage Loan Documents enumerated as items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), and (15) in Exhibit B hereto shall be delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser’s designee pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. The remaining documents constituting the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be part of the Servicing File and shall be held by the Seller separately as custodian and for the sole benefit and on behalf of the Purchaser, and shall be delivered, at the Purchaser’s request, to the Purchaser or its designee within (5) Business Days from such request. If the Seller cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents or the original policy of title insurance, including riders and endorsements thereto, on the applicable Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 90 days from such Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including original recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed within 90 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver such documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in an Officer’s Certificate stating the date by which Seller expects to receive any missing documents sent for recording from the applicable recording office. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Officer’s Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. The Seller shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery within 180 days of the applicable Closing Date; provided however, that if delivery is not completed within 180 days of such Closing Date, at the Purchaser’s option, the Seller will repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03, or the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, will extend in writing the time period for Seller to effect delivery; and further provided that at the expiration of such extension, if the documents have not been received, Seller, at Purchaser’s option will repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03 (it being understood that any cure period set forth in Section 3.03 shall be deemed to have expired).

The Seller shall pay all initial recording fees for the Assignments and any other fees in connection with the transfer of all original documents to the Purchaser or its designee. The Seller shall prepare, in recordable form, all Assignments necessary to assign the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, or its designee. The Seller shall be responsible for recording the Assignments in accordance with and at the direction of the Purchaser.

To the extent not delivered on the applicable Closing Date, the Seller shall provide a copy of the title insurance policy to the Purchaser or its designee within ninety (90) days of the applicable Closing Date.

Any review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

The Seller shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or Section 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Seller may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. The Purchaser shall, upon the written request of the Seller, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Seller, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser, or its designee, as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, as the case may be, when the Seller no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Seller, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to the Seller pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.08

Quality Control Procedures.

The Seller must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

Section 3.03

Repurchase; Substitution; Set-off.

It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 2.07, 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Seller shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty (60) day period, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser’s prior consent, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. If any such breach is not cured within such cure period, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option exercised by written notice to Seller, shall repurchase any such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price no later than ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice; provided that Seller shall have no such repurchase obligation unless Purchaser gives such notice to Seller no later than ninety (90) days after the expiration of such cure period. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price, after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution. It is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 3.02(gg), (nn), (xx), (ww), (xx), (aaa), (bbb), (ccc), (eee), (fff), (hhh), (mmm), (nnn) or (sss) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a principal balance at the time of substitution not in excess of the principal balance of the removed Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account), (b) have a Mortgage Interest Rate not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, of the same type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property) as the removed Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio, at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, in material compliance with the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement as of the date of substitution.

In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller; and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Purchaser may, at its option and in its sole discretion, offset any or all amounts owed by the Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement and any Purchase Price and Terms Letter, against any or all amounts due from Purchaser to the Seller.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase, reimburse or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, and Purchaser’s right of set-off, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Section 3.05

Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With Early Payment Defaults.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, if the Purchaser does not notify the Seller in writing either (i) in its request to Seller to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or in any corresponding funding schedule, or (ii) on or before the 60th day following Seller’s repurchase of such Mortgage Loan, to pay that portion of the Repurchase Price equal to the product of the unpaid principal balance of the repurchased Mortgage Loan and the Purchase Price Premium, if any, the Purchase Price Premium for purposes of calculating such Repurchase Price shall be deemed to be zero.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01

Seller to Act as Servicer.

The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the FNMA or FHLMC Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans; the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and liquidation of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the FNMA or FHLMC Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Seller.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan which has come into default or for which default is reasonably foreseeable or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to the related Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that (1) the final maturity of any such Mortgage Loan shall not be extended beyond the final maturity date; (2) advances and other amounts in connection with such Mortgage Loans may be added to the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (as set forth below) only once during the life of such Mortgage Loan; (3) any amounts added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, or capitalized amounts added to the Mortgage Loan, will be required to be fully amortized over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan; and (4) the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate or have the effect of reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate below the lesser of 50% of the original Mortgage Interest Rate on the Cut-off Date or the Servicing Fee Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or, for adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, change any of the applicable adjustable rate terms (e.g., Index, Initial Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, Gross Margin, etc.) and provided, further, that the outstanding principal balance of any such Mortgage Loan, when taken together with the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all other Mortgage Loans that have been so modified since the Closing Date, does not exceed an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time subject to approval of the Rating Agencies). In the event of any modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, 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 Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by any applicable issuer of a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if required.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser’s reliance on the Seller. The seller shall accurately and fully report its Mortgagor credit files to all three credit repositories in a timely manner.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Seller provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of originating, acquiring or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or FNMA approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by FNMA or for seller/servicers imposed by FHLMC, or which would require notification to FNMA or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Seller may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Seller of the Subservicer shall not release the Seller from any of its obligations hereunder and the Seller shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Seller. The Seller shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. The Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Seller, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Seller shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Seller, at the Seller’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 or 10.02 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Seller shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Seller. The Seller shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Seller’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Seller and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Seller shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Seller by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Seller will indemnify and hold Purchaser and its affiliates harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of the Seller’s use of a Subservicer to perform any of the Seller’s servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Seller alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Seller will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Seller will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.03

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within one hundred twenty (120) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Seller shall obtain the prior approval of the Purchaser as to restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Seller shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Seller shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Seller, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within three (3) years after becoming an REO Property, unless the Seller provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to three (3) years after its becoming REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, the Seller shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code, if required by the REMIC.

In connection with any Securitization Transaction, and subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions of any pooling and servicing agreement related thereto, the Seller, at its own cost and expense, may appoint a special servicer to service any Mortgage Loan that as of the first day of a fiscal quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property (a “Distressed Mortgage Loan”). The appointment of a special servicer and the execution of a special servicing agreement with the special servicer shall be subject to (1) the consent of any Depositor, Master Servicer and Trustee in connection with such Securitization Transaction and (2) the receipt of confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the transfer of servicing to such special servicer shall not result in a reduction of the then-current rating previously given by such Rating Agency to the publicly-rated securities issued in connection with such Securitization Transaction.

Section 4.04

Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to each Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to such Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before such Cut-off Date:

any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.13 or 6.02:

(xi)

with respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) which, when added to all amount allocable to interest received in connection with such Principle Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of the principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of deposits made by the Seller pursuant to this clause (xi) exceed the aggregate amount of the Servicing Fee in the calendar month in which such deposits are required.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv).

Section 4.05

Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii)

to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 2.07, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii)

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the FNMA or FHLMC Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Underwriting Guidelines;

(iv)

to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) if previously deposited, the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v)

to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;

(vi)

to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

(vii)

to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Seller; and

(viii)

to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

The Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) - (v) above.

Section 4.06

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

(i)

all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(ii)

all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller only:

(i)

to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums or condominium assessments and comparable items;

(ii)

to reimburse Seller for any Servicing Advance made by Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)

to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;

(iv)

for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(v)

for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;

(vi)

to pay to the Seller, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(vii)

to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Seller shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor; and

(viii)

to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and 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 Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely 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.

The Seller will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less in the case of a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% or as required by state or federal law. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the applicable Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09

Transfer of Accounts.

The Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to FNMA and/or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Seller determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA or FHLMC Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Seller shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Seller shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Seller shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Seller under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Seller or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to the FNMA or FHLMC Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers and currently reflect a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 4.11

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A+:XV insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds (without any right of reimbursement therefor) the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12

Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Seller against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Guides. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Within thirty (30) days of the initial Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a)

In the event that title to the 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 Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee 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 Seller from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located (the “Owners”). Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

(b)

The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the FNMA or FHLMC Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, together with a copy of the appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Seller shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services shall be [$1,500] to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed on any REO Property from and after the date of which it becomes an REO Property. The Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Seller shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, and in accordance with the FNMA or FHLMC Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each 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 Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Seller shall make or cause the Seller to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(c)

The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within six (6) months after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than six (6) months is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. If as of the date any REO Property is sold or otherwise disposed of there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement from the proceeds of such sale for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the FNMA or FHLMC Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Seller at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Seller deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Seller shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser’s sole option, terminate the Seller as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Seller shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed by withdrawal from the Custodial Account for any unreimbursed advances of the Seller’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee.

(e)

If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one (1) year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is necessary to sell any REO property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate servicing agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of prior to the expiration of the third taxable year in which such REO Property was acquired or such other period as may be permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code unless the Seller provides to the Trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the expiration of the third taxable year will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at anytime that certificates are outstanding.

Section 4.14

Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

Section 4.15

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Seller 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 Accepted Servicing Practices and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Seller shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment adjustments. The Seller shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Purchaser 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 Seller or the receipt of notice from the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds (without any right of reimbursement therefor) the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Purchaser thereby as such interest loss or deferral occurs.

Section 4.16

Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Seller shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Seller has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO THE PURCHASER

Section 5.01

Distributions.

On each Remittance Date, the Seller shall distribute by wire transfer to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayment received during the month of such Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the next succeeding Remittance Date together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Collection Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04 (xi). It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date is to include principal collected after the applicable Cut-off Date, through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to such Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) 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 Seller on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day 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 Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.

Section 5.02

Statements to the Purchaser.

The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, in hard copy and computer readable format, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Seller’s assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the seventh Business Day of the month of the corresponding Remittance Date on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Purchaser and Seller, and no later than the seventh Business Day of the month of the corresponding Remittance Date in hard copy, which report, in hard copy, shall be substantially in the form of FNMA form 2010, monthly remittance report, as updated or amended by FNMA, which shall contain the following:

(i)

With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on Principal Prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);

(ii)

with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest;

(iii)

the amount of servicing compensation received by the Seller during the prior distribution period;

(iv)

the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(v)

the aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Servicer during the prior distribution period pursuant to Section 4.05; and

(vi)

the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days (2) 60 to 89 days and (3) 90 or more days; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired.

The Seller shall also provide a trial balance on computer readable tape or other electronic means of transmission acceptable to the Purchaser, with each such Report.

The Seller shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03

Monthly Advances by the Seller.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the related Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date. The Seller’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the date of final disposition and liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or any Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, unless the Seller reasonably determines such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller to the effect that an officer of the Seller has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04

Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser may reasonably require.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01

Assumption Agreements.

The Seller will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by 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 any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller, with the approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Seller, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any assumption for which the Purchaser was given notification and requested to consent, but for which neither a consent nor an objection was given by the Purchaser within two (2) Business Days of such notification.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the FNMA or FHLMC Guides for “A” quality Mortgage Loans. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed (and, for adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, none of the applicable adjustable rate terms may not be changed). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller 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 any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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.

Section 6.02

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will provide written notification to the Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee) within three (3) days. Such notification shall state all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee). The Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee) shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notification and request, release or cause to be released to the Seller, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Seller shall promptly prepare and execute (pursuant to a power of attorney or limited officer appointment to be provided by Purchaser upon request) by Seller the requisite satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Seller against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser (or its designee) of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser (or its designee) to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser (or its designee) when the need therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser (or its designee) a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser (or its designee) to the Seller.

Section 6.03

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Seller’s Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.04

Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser annually, after the close of Seller’s fiscal year:

(1)

and within one hundred twenty (120) days of such fiscal year end, a statement to the Purchaser from a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Seller’s servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in accordance with the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Seller’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser; and

(2)

copies of Seller’s audited financial statements upon execution by Purchaser of an agreement to keep confidential the contents of such financial statements;

(3)

The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser, to any master servicer which is master servicing any of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Securitization Transaction (each, a “Master Servicer”) and to any entity which is the depositor of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Securitization Transaction (each, a “Depositor”) not later than March 15 of each calendar year, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement may be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans; and

(4)

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Securitization Transaction, by March 15 of each year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Seller shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, an Officer’s Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I; and

(5)

The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Purchaser (and if this Agreement has been assigned in whole or in part by the Purchaser, any and all Persons previously acting as “Purchaser” hereunder), and their respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates, and such affiliates’ officers, directors and agents (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Seller or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 6.04, or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller in the other in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.04, or the Seller’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith; and

(6)

It is acknowledged and agreed that each Master Servicer and Depositor shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.04 and shall be entitled to independently enforce the provisions of this Section 6.04 with respect to any obligations owed to such entity as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

Section 6.05

RESERVED.

Section 6.06

Purchaser’s Right to Examine Seller Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Seller, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Seller, or held by another for the Seller or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Seller which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Seller, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

The Seller agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Seller shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above; provided, however, that prior to furnishing such statements or information to any prospective purchaser, the Seller may require such prospective purchaser to execute a confidentiality agreement in a form satisfactory to the Seller.

The Seller shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Seller’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Seller has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SELLER

Section 8.01

Indemnification.

The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its affiliates and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser or any of its affiliates may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its affiliates and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser or any of its affiliates may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement. The Seller shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Seller shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02

Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation 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 Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Seller 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 GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03

Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller 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 negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller 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 reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04

Seller Not to Assign or Resign.

The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05

No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in anyway limiting the generality of this Section, the Seller shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or 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 approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser’s sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Seller either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.02, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Seller (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01

Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Seller shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)

any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of three (3) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

(ii)

failure on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen (15) in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

(iii)

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, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

(vi)

the Seller ceases to be approved by either FNMA or FHLMC as a mortgage loan seller and servicer for more than thirty (30) days; or

(vii)

(viii)

the Seller ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in each jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix)

the Seller fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02, then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Seller for the same. On or after the receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’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 Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property; or

(x)

the Seller fails to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04 of this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by any party to this Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans.

Section 9.02

Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such 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 in writing.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.01

Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser in writing; or (iii) termination with or without cause under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.02

Section 11.01

Successor to the Seller.

Prior to termination of Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 or 10.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller under this Agreement prior to the termination of Seller’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Seller 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 Seller pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Seller or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01, or 10.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Seller shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Seller shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors to refinance any Mortgage Loans and the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and data relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be transferred to the Purchaser pursuant hereto on the applicable Closing Date and the Seller shall take no action to undermine these rights and benefits.

Section 11.17

Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, on or after the Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a “Reconstitution Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a Reconstitution of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

(a)

one or more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each, a “Whole Loan Transfer”); or

(b)

one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Securitization Transactions.

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser, any prospective purchaser, any master servicer or trustee and/or any issuer or other participant in such Reconstitution (“Reconstitution Parties”) with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all seller’s warranties and servicing agreements, participation and servicing agreements, pooling and servicing agreements or similar agreements (collectively, “Reconstitution Agreements”) requested by the Purchaser, which shall contain, among other provisions, such provisions and requirements as will, in the case of a Securitization Transaction, enable some or all of the securities issued in connection with such Securitization Transaction to be rated in the highest rating category by one or more Rating Agencies; and (3) to restate in the Reconstitution Agreement or in another appropriate agreement or letter requested by the Purchaser the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a “Reconstitution Date”); provided that with respect to those representations and warranties that relate to delinquency or condition of the Mortgaged Property, the Seller shall only be required to restate such representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and shall represent and warrant as to the actual status thereof as of the Reconstitution Date. The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and/or any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller, whether through letters of its auditors, opinions of counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request; and (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser or any such other participant. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and Reconstitution Parties for the accuracy and completeness of all such information provided by or on behalf of the Seller. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs relating to the delivery of such information.

In the event the Seller has agreed to and does hold record title to the Mortgages prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Seller shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank to the prospective purchaser, issuer or trustee, as applicable, from the Seller, acceptable to the prospective purchaser, issuer or trustee, as applicable, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation and initial recording costs associated therewith. In connection with the Reconstitution, and at the expense of Purchaser, the Seller shall execute each assignment of mortgage, track such assignments of mortgage to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by the prospective purchaser or trustee, as applicable, upon the Seller’s receipt thereof. Additionally, at the expense of Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note endorsement in connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and, if this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 11.18

Financial Statements.

The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers the Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of the Seller.

Section 11.19

Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.

The sale and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the related Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date of such Purchase Price and Terms Letter or preliminary notice and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter and (ii) obligation to pay the related Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Section 11.20

Intention of the Parties.

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

Section 11.21

Waivers.

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

Section 11.22

Further Agreements.

The Seller and the Purchaser 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 11.23

Reproduction of Documents.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

Section 11.24

No Petition. Limited Recourse.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after termination of this agreement pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof or, if any securities are issued in connection with a Securitization Transaction, for at least one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the latest maturing security is paid in full, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Purchaser, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or any similar proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided that nothing in this provision shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Seller (a) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period in (i) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Purchaser or (ii) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Purchaser by a Person other than the Seller, or (b) from commencing against the Purchaser or the Mortgaged Loans any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or a liquidation proceeding. In addition, no recourse shall be had for any amounts payable or any other obligations arising under this Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection with a Reconstitution against any officer, member, director, employee, partner or security holder of the Seller or the Purchaser or any of their respective successors or assigns. The provisions of this Section 11.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 12.01

Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XII of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act) and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of established and evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

For the purposes of this Article XII, any notice or request that must be “in writing” or “written” may be made by electronic mail.

(ii)

any breach by the Seller of its obligations under this Article XII, including particularly any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article XII, including any failure by the Seller to identify pursuant to Section 12.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

(iv)

the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection with its performance under this Article XII.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article XII, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 12.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 12.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 12.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (other than for payment of accrued fees and reimbursable expenses owed to the Seller thereunder at the time of such termination)(notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer of such Securitization Transaction; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Seller as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(iii)

The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Seller as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

EXHIBIT F: [FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER]

_______________________

(Date)

[PURCHASER]

[ADDRESS]

Re:

Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2007

Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to [SELLER], a _______________ (the “Seller”), in connection with the sale of certain loans by the Seller to _____________________ (“the “Purchaser”) pursuant to (I) a Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2007, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Sale Agreement”) and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter, dated July 1, 2007, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Purchase Price and Terms Letter”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Sale Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

The Sale Agreement;

The Purchase Price and Terms Letter;

The Seller’s [Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws] [certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement], as amended to date; and

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Seller with specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion (the “Board Resolutions”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Seller, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

The Seller has been duly [incorporated] [formed] and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of __________ with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter (sometimes collectively, the “Agreements”).

The Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller.

The Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter], except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller as provided in the Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter, nor the fulfillment of the terns of or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Sale Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter will result in a breach of any term or provision of the [certificate of incorporation or by-laws] [certificate of limited partnership or limited partnership agreement] of the Seller, or, to the best of my knowledge, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, (I) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Seller, or (iii) any order of any State of or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect on the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under the Sale Agreement.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Seller which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Sale Agreement or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Sale Agreement.

The sale of each Note and Mortgage or Pledge Agreement, as applicable, as and in the manner contemplated by the Sale Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Seller thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Seller have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under each of the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, have been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

My opinion expressed in paragraphs 3 and 7 above is subject to the qualifications that (I) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or ether laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Seller, the Purchaser and any other party which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of _______________ and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of ____________ and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,
