Subsection 7.03 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Owner represents and warrants to the Servicer on the applicable Transfer Date, that as of the Transfer Date specified in the related Servicer Acknowledgement (or such other date specified below):

(a) Data: The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette, data tapes or other electronic data sent to the Servicer, is complete, true and correct in all material respects. The information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the information provided are consistent with the contents of the originator’s records and the Mortgage File. The Mortgage Loan Schedule contains all the fields required in Exhibit 3. Except for information specified to be as of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Schedule contains the most current information possessed by the Originator.

(b) Regulatory Compliance: Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects in connection with the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is a “high cost” or “covered” loan, as defined by any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law, and no Mortgage Loan has a percentage listed under the Indicative Loss Severity Column (the column that appears in the Standard & Poor’s Anti-Predatory Lending Law Update Table, included in the then-current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary of Terms on Appendix E). No Mortgage Loan secured by property located in the State of Georgia was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and prior to March 7, 2003. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after March 7, 2003 is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

(c) No Graduated Payments: The Mortgage Loan does not contain “graduated payment” features, does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature and does not contain any buydown provisions.

(d) No Negative Amortization Loans; No HELOCs; All 30 Year Mortgages: The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (except in the case of interest only loans) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative

amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a home equity revolving line of credit secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument.

(e) Escrow Accounts: If applicable, all Escrow Accounts have been maintained in accordance with Applicable Requirements. The Escrow Payments required by the Mortgages are on deposit in the appropriate Escrow Account.

(f) Escrow Compliance: If an Escrow Account is required to be maintained with respect to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all interest required pursuant to applicable law to be paid on funds in such Escrow Account through the Transfer Date has been or will be credited to the account of the related Mortgagor, and evidence of such credit shall be provided to the Servicer; and (ii) such interest has been and through the Transfer Date will be properly computed and paid in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and with applicable law.

(g) MERS: The ownership of all MERS Mortgage Loans is registered with MERS.

(h) Prior Servicing: Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in accordance with all Applicable Requirements at all times prior to the Servicing Transfer Date.

Subsection 7.04 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by Originator.

(a) If an Originator repurchases a Mortgage Loan due to a breach of representations and warranties, such Mortgage Loan shall no longer be subject to this Agreement and removed from the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Servicer shall release the Mortgage Loan to, and effect the transfer of the related servicing, to the Originator or its designated servicer. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to the applicable Exit Fee set forth or referenced in the applicable Servicer Acknowledgement.

(b) If an Originator substitutes such Mortgage Loan, such substitute mortgage loan shall be deemed a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder, as if included on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and the Servicer shall release the related defective Mortgage Loan to, and effect the transfer of the related servicing, to the Originator or its designated servicer.

(c) In the event of any breach of any representation and warranty of an Originator made with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall assist the Owner in pursuing any available remedies against the Originator arising from such breach.

SECTION 8. [Reserved.]

SECTION 9. Closing Conditions.

The closing for each transfer of servicing hereunder shall take place on the respective Closing Date. The closing shall be either by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties hereto shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties hereto shall agree.

(a) On or before the initial Closing Date, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner fully executed originals of the following documents:

(i) this Agreement, in four counterparts;

(ii) if requested by the Owner, a letter confirming the account name and number of the Custodial Account in a form to be provided by the Owner; and

(iii) if requested by the Owner, a letter confirming the account name and number of the Escrow Account in a form to be provided by the Owner.

The Owner shall pay the cost of delivering the Mortgage Files to the Owner or its designee, the cost of recording the Assignments of Mortgage, any registration or transfers within MERS, any custodial fees incurred in connection with the release of any Mortgage Loan documents as may be required by the servicing activities hereunder and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement by the Owner. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer and the Owner shall each bear their own expenses (including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses of its attorneys) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 11.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Subservicing.

(a) Effective as of each related Transfer Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Requirements, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with

such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder. The Servicer may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder by virtue of such delegation. The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by one or more unaffiliated subservicers on behalf of the Servicer provided each subservicer is a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, that would make it unable to comply with the eligibility for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the subservicer from its own funds (provided that any such expenditures that would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer hereunder shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as Servicing Advances), and the subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicer’s portion of the Servicing Fee.

(b) At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a 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 Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. If the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.

(c) The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(d) 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 Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Owner to pay the subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the subservicer has received such payment. The Servicer shall not make any amendment to any agreement with a subservicer if such amendment is not consistent with or violates the provisions of this Agreement, or if such amendment could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Owner.

(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the REMIC Provisions if the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to a REMIC, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided,

however, that the Servicer shall not enter into any payment plan or agreement to modify payments with a Mortgagor lasting more than six (6) months or permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Lifetime Rate Cap (if applicable), the Initial Rate Cap (if applicable), the Periodic Rate Cap (if applicable) or the Gross Margin (if applicable), agree to the capitalization of arrearages, including interest, fees or expenses owed under the Mortgage Loan, make any future advances or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or accept substitute or additional collateral or release any collateral for such Mortgage Loan, unless (1) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent, (2) the modification is in accordance with the customary procedures of the Servicer, which may change from time to time, or industry-accepted programs, and (3) the Owner has approved such action. Additionally, the Servicer shall not accept any deed-in-lieu of, short pay-off, or sale of any Mortgaged Property, in which the sale proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan unless the Owner has approved such action. Further, the Servicer shall not defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest or change the outstanding principal amount (except to reflect actual payments of principal) unless the Owner has approved such action. Any capitalization of arrearages of interest, fees and expenses in excess of 10% of the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the capitalization shall be made only after the Servicer has received the express written consent of the Owner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or acting through subservicers or agents is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner when the Servicer believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself or the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release and discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Owner pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 11.13.

(f) The Owner shall furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

(g) Whether in connection with the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan or otherwise, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances; provided, however, that the Servicer is not required to make a Servicing Advance unless the Servicer determines in the exercise of its good faith judgment that such Servicing Advance would ultimately be recoverable from REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds of the related Mortgaged Property (with respect to each of which the Servicer shall have the priority described in Subsection 11.05 for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account). Any Servicing Advance that would cause the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances for a particular Mortgage Loan to exceed $15,000 shall be made only after notification of the Owner.

(h) 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 Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic

substances or wastes, or if the Owner 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 Owner’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. In the event (i) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (ii) the Owner directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient fully to reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05 hereof. In the event the Owner directs the Servicer not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05 hereof.

Subsection 11.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Owner. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of forty-five (45) days, the Servicer shall order an inspection of the related Mortgaged Property and, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the Servicer is in the process of modifying or has modified the terms of such Mortgage Loan, if the Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures and the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac or FHFA, as applicable. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances. If the portion of any Liquidation Proceeds allocable as a recovery of interest on a related Mortgage Loan is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan as of the date such proceeds are received, then the applicable portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be paid first and any amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Owner. Upon liquidation of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall provide written notice thereof to the custodian appointed by the Owner.

Subsection 11.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, and all other charges that, as provided in any Mortgage, will

become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Mortgage Loan payments received by the Servicer will be deposited within one Business Day of receipt into a clearing account that is an Eligible Account. The Mortgage Loan payments may be commingled with payments of other mortgagors and investors for up to two Business Days prior to the Servicer depositing the Mortgage Loan payments in the Custodial Account. Such clearing account shall not be used for operational or corporate purposes of the Servicer.

Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Account; Deposits in Custodial Account.

The Servicer 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 (collectively, the “Custodial Account”), titled “Cenlar FSB, in trust for Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation as Owner of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository Affiliate of the Servicer) which meets the guidelines set forth by the FHFA, Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial accounts. The Custodial Account shall initially be established and maintained at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Owner’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account, on a daily basis in accordance with Section 11.03, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date):

(a) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, less any applicable Servicing Fee;

(d) all proceeds received by the Servicer under any title insurance policy, hazard insurance policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or other insurance policy other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(e) all awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or eminent domain affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(f) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.15 and 11.19;

(i) with respect to each Full Prepayment and each Partial Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds) equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided, however, that the Servicer’s aggregate obligations under this paragraph for any month shall be limited to the total amount of the Servicing Fee related to the Mortgage Loans during such month; and

(j) amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with the deductible clause of any hazard insurance policy.

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, Ancillary Fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments designated in the name of the Servicer for the benefit of the Owner, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in the institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may mature on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on such Remittance Date if the Servicer shall advance funds on such Remittance Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the Owner) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

For all Eligible Investments rated at least “A1/A+”(short/long) that have terms greater than 60 days, in the event of a downgrade of such Eligible Investment below “A1” (or “A+” if no short term rating), the Servicer agrees to remove such Eligible Investment within 60 days of such downgrade. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to removal of such Eligible Investment following such a downgrade and

(d) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable (as certified by the Servicer to the Owner in an Officer’s Certificate) by the Servicer pursuant to subclause (b) or (c) above;

Upon request, the Servicer will provide the Owner with copies of reasonably acceptable invoices or other documentation relating to Servicing Advances that have been reimbursed from the Custodial Account.

Subsection 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account.

The Servicer 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 (collectively, the “Escrow Account”), titled “Cenlar FSB, in trust for Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation as Owner of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository Affiliate of Servicer), which meets the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution for escrow accounts. The Escrow Account shall initially be established and maintained at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Owner’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein: (a) 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 and (b) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Subsection 11.07 hereof. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.

Subsection 11.07 Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by the Servicer only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer pursuant to Subsection 11.08 hereof with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law, (e) for application to restore or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, as a Servicing Advance, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), (h) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (i) to withdraw suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (j) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently

deposited in the Escrow Account or (k) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies 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 Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments, subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Subsections 11.05(c), 11.05(d) and 11.07(b). No costs incurred by the Servicer or subservicers in effecting the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Mortgaged Properties or mortgage or hazard insurance premiums shall, for the purpose of calculating remittances to the Owner, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

The Owner shall, at no cost or expense to the Servicer, transfer, or cause an Originator to transfer, any existing tax service contracts (“Tax Service Contract”) to the Servicer and provide the Servicer with an electronic file identifying (A) tax type, payment frequency, payee code, tax amount last paid, next due date, parcel number, legal description, previous servicer's name, and (B) each Tax Service Contract, if any, by contract number. If a Tax Service Contract is not in existence or such tax service contract is not guaranteed or transferable to the Servicer, the Servicer shall obtain a tax service contract for such Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Owner. For each tax service contract obtained by the Servicer, the Owner shall pay the Servicer a fee set forth or referenced in the applicable Servicer Acknowledgement.

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may, with the approval of the Owner, transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to an Eligible Account at a different depository institution.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (A) the minimum amount required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan if replacement-cost basis is not available) or (B) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. The Servicer shall also maintain on 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, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Program, flood insurance in an amount required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that unless otherwise required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note or applicable law, the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by a unit in a condominium development or planned unit development shall be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related development in a manner which is consistent with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, as applicable, unless otherwise required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note or applicable law.

Subsection 11.11 Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which (a) the data provided by the Owner indicates a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% at the time of servicing transfer to the Servicer and (b) a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is then in effect, the Servicer shall promptly, without any cost to the Owner, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer insuring the portion over 78% (or such other percentage in conformance with then current Xxxxxx Mae requirements) until terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1988, 12 USC § 4901, et seq. or any other applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. In the event that such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. The Servicer 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 Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 11.18, the Servicer 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present or to assist the Owner in preparing and presenting, on behalf of itself and the Owner, 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 Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05.

Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. These policies must insure the Servicer against losses resulting from fraud, theft, errors, omissions, negligence, dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicer’s personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for

the Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. The Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, as applicable, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond or a certificate evidencing the same with a statement that the Servicer shall endeavor to provide written notice to the Owner thirty (30) days prior to modification or any material change.

Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

Subject to Subsection 11.02, in the event that title to a 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 Owner or its nominee.

The Servicer shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the conservation of the related REO Property. The Servicer shall make distributions as required on each Remittance Date to the Owner of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described below and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer, subject to Subsection 11.01. The Owner shall pay the Servicer a fee of 1.5% of the sales price for such REO Property for services associated with servicing the REO Property through its disposition. Upon the request of the Owner, and at the Owner’s expense, the Servicer shall cause an appraisal of the REO Property to be performed for the Owner.

The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property. Any disbursement in excess of $15,000 shall be made only with the prior written approval of the Owner. The Servicer shall deduct the costs of managing, conserving, protecting and operating the REO Property from the proceeds of the sale of the REO Property (providing documentary evidence of such costs).

The Servicer shall not accept any sale offer for an REO Property that is more than 10% below the Reconciled Market Value of the REO Property without the prior written consent of the Owner.

Subsection 11.14 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder and subject to Subsection 11.15, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the applicable portion of the Servicing Fee from interest payments actually collected on the Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, fees related to the disposition of REO Property, Ancillary Fees (other than late payment charges) and one-half of the amount of late payment charges shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. Prepayment Charges shall not be included in the Servicer’s compensation but paid to the Owner. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. To the extent the Servicer is entitled to any portion of Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and other amounts in excess of the interest payments actually collected on the Mortgage Loans with respect to any Remittance Date, the Servicer shall invoice the Owner in accordance with Section 11.16 for such amounts and the Owner shall pay the Servicer such amount within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof.

Subsection 11.15 Distributions.

On each Remittance Date the Servicer shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Owner of record on the preceding Record Date (a) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account at the close of business on the related Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(b) through (h) minus (b) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the end of the calendar month preceding the month in which the Remittance Date occurs, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the first day of the month in which the Remittance Date occurs.

Subject to Subection 11.25, not later than each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall from its own funds deposit, as a P&I Advance, in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall due to either Partial Prepayment or Full Prepayment, if any, existing in respect of the related Principal Prepayment Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls deposited on any Remittance Date shall not exceed the amount of Servicing Fee related to the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Remittance Date.

With respect to any remittance received by a party after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the remittance party shall pay to the receiving party interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the prime lending rate as is publicly announced from time to

time in the Wall Street Journal, or its successor, at the prime lending rate published that day in the Wall Street Journal, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percent (2%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by a party of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default.

Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Owner.

(a) Not later than five (5) days prior to each related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Owner a statement in the form specified and with the information required by the monthly reporting format of the Master Servicer, as provided to the Servicer by the Owner. Such statement shall also include information regarding delinquencies on Mortgage Loans, indicating the number and aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Loans which are either one (1), two (2) or three (3) or more months delinquent. The Servicer shall submit to the Owner monthly a liquidation report with respect to each Mortgaged Property sold in a foreclosure sale as of the related Record Date and not previously reported. The Servicer shall also provide such information as set forth above to the Owner in electronic form in the Servicer’s standard format, a copy of which has been provided by the Servicer.

(b) In addition, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner monthly loan-by-loan default information including, without limitation, notes made and retained by the Servicer in connection with servicing the defaulted loan, the reasons for the default, updated values of the Mortgaged Property, updated FICO scores on the Mortgagor and information regarding Servicing Advances made.

(c) On or after the 16th day of each calendar month, the Servicer shall provide, at the Owner’s request, a list of the Mortgagors as to which Monthly Payments that were due on the immediately preceding Due Date have not yet been received.

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

Subsection 11.17 [Reserved].

Subsection 11.18 Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer will use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided that, subject to the Owner’s prior approval, the Servicer shall permit such assumption if so required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the

Mortgagor prior to payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, the Servicer will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law 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. In connection with any such assumption, the outstanding principal amount, the Monthly Payment, the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Lifetime Rate Cap (if applicable), the Gross Margin (if applicable), the Initial Rate Cap (if applicable) or the Periodic Rate Cap (if applicable) of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or decreased. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.18, the Servicer with the prior consent of the issuer of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.

Subsection 11.19 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will obtain the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the Owner or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify the Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Owner agrees to deliver to the Servicer (or cause to be delivered to the Servicer) the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Servicer that such a payment in full has been received or that a notification has been received that such a payment in full shall be made. Such Mortgage Note shall be held by the Servicer, in trust, for the purpose of canceling such Mortgage Note and delivering the canceled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in a timely manner as and to the extent provided under any applicable federal or state law.

In the event the Servicer grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account no later than the immediately following Remittance Date, unless the Servicer has cured its error prior to such Remittance Date. In addition, the Servicer shall have the right, at its expense, to cure any such erroneous satisfaction or release and reinstate the Mortgage of record unless the related Mortgage Loan has been included in a Securitization Transaction. Upon such reinstatement, the Owner shall return any funds remitted by the Servicer related thereto unless the related Mortgage Loan has been included in a Securitization Transaction. At its option, upon remittance of the funds to the Owner by the Servicer, the Servicer may require the Owner to assign to the Servicer any rights, if any, the Owner may have with regard to the Mortgage to allow the Servicer to attempt to reinstate the Mortgage of record.

Subsection 11.20 Servicer Shall Provide Access and Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner, and for any Owner insured by FDIC or NAIC, the supervisory agents and examiners of FDIC and OTS or NAIC, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans which may be required by applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer.

In addition, the Servicer shall furnish upon request by the Owner, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable and appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement and applicable regulations. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions the Owner may require. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.21 Inspections.

The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than forty-five (45) days delinquent, the Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer shall keep written report of each such inspection and shall provide a copy of such inspection to the Owner upon the request of the Owner.

Subsection 11.22 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Owner prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum, the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note and applicable law, comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(a) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(b) the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(d) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Owner is named as an additional loss payee, the Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Owner.

Subsection 11.23 Fair Credit Reporting Act.

The Servicer, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis.

Subsection 11.24 Prepayment Charges.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment, the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law, (iii) the enforceability would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidelines issued by any applicable federal, state or local authority having jurisdiction over such matters, (iv) the Servicer is unable to locate documentation sufficient to allow it to confirm the existence and amount of such Prepayment Charge after using commercially reasonable efforts to locate such documentation, which efforts shall include, but are not limited to, seeking such documentation from the Owner, the Owner’s custodian and from its own records or files, or (v) the related Mortgaged Property has been damaged such that the current value of the Mortgaged Property has been reduced by at least half as a result of a natural disaster or other insured or uninsured peril, and the borrower has elected to pay the loan in full rather than rebuild the Mortgaged Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage Loan.

Subsection 11.25 Recovery and Reimbursement of Advances.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advance from its corporate funds on account of any Mortgage

Loan, but instead the Servicer shall be entitled to use funds available for remittance to the Owner to pay such Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall not be obligated to advance its funds to pay attorney fees or costs incurred on behalf of the Owner in connection with litigation related to a Mortgage Loan.

(a) Servicing Advances.

The Servicer may, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, and for ease of administration, make Servicing Advances when in its good faith judgment it is necessary or advisable to do so, and the Servicer shall not have any obligation to notify the Owner before making any Servicing Advance except as otherwise specified herein.

(b) P&I Advances.

The Servicer shall have no obligation to remit any funds, nor make any P&I Advance, in excess of amounts actually collected by the Servicer. The Servicer shall remit such funds only upon funding by the Owner of any required remittance.

The Servicer will notify the Owner by electronic or facsimile transmission of the amount that is necessary to make a required P&I Advance not later than three (3) Business Days before the Servicer requires the funds. The Owner shall, at the Servicer’s direction either immediately deposit such amount into the appropriate Custodial Account or wire such amount to the Servicer.

In addition to provisions elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, may at any time xxxx the Owner for Servicing Advances that are then outstanding and for Servicing Advances that the Servicer anticipates the Servicer will make prior to the next month end. Any such invoice shall be payable within twenty (20) Business Days of the Owner’s receipt.

SECTION 12. The Servicer.

Subsection 12.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and its officers, employees, members, directors, Affiliates and representatives against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Owner may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) a breach of the Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants included in this Agreement. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

(b) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, and the Servicer shall assume (with the written consent of the Owner) the defense of any such claim and pay, as a Servicing Advance, all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees. If the Servicer has assumed the defense of the Owner, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with a written report of all expenses and advances incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Subsection 12.01 and the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for all unreimbursed amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when and to the extent that the claims relate to the failure of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other breach by the Servicer of this Agreement.

Subsection 12.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

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

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Servicer (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Subsection 12.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

The duties and obligations of the Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Servicer. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures and otherwise in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any liability resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty made herein, or from any liability specifically imposed on the Servicer herein; and, provided further, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Subsection 12.01, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or

defend any legal action which is not incidental to the Servicer’s duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Subsection 12.04 Servicer Resignation Requirements.

The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner. At any time during the term hereof, the Servicer may, without cause, by one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to the Owner, terminate this Agreement as to any or all Mortgage Loans then being serviced or upon the determination that the Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the unilateral resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation of or assignment by the Servicer shall become effective until a successor has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Subsection 14.02. If the Servicer resigns pursuant to this Section 12.04, the Servicer shall pay all costs incurred by the Owner in transferring servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 12.05 No Liability for Failure to Deliver Servicing Files.

The Servicer shall have no liability for any failure to carry out its servicing responsibilities hereunder that is directly caused by the failure of an Originator to deliver to the Servicer the Servicing Files (or portions thereof) necessary to service such Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the Customary Servicing Procedures or this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Default.

Subsection 13.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing:

(b) failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in 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 Servicer by the Owner;

(c) 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, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the

winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer’s property;

(e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

(f) the Servicer shall cease to be qualified to do business under the laws of any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located, but only to the extent such qualification is necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan and to perform the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement;

(g) the Servicer shall fail to meet the servicer eligibility qualifications of Xxxxxx Xxx or the Servicer shall fail to meet the servicer eligibility qualifications of Xxxxxxx Mac;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer, may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, commence termination of all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice from the Owner stating that it intends to terminate the Servicer as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, including any compensation due the Servicer under this Agreement on and after the effective date of termination, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Subsection 14.02. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to a successor any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the successor at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment of all costs relating to the transfer of servicing.

Subsection 13.02 Waiver of Default.

The Owner may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to

exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

SECTION 14. Termination.

Subsection 14.01 Termination.

The obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, as servicer, shall terminate upon (a) the distribution to the Owner of the final payment or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan, (b) the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, (c) notice given by the Owner pursuant to Section 14.03, or (d) notice given by the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.04. Upon written request from the Owner in connection with any such termination, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Owner’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 Owner’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 14.02 Successors to the Servicer.

Prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01, the Owner shall, (a) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or (b) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement upon such termination. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections shall not become effective until the earlier of one hundred eighty (180) days following the termination or the date a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Subsection and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 7 and any remedies available to the Owner under Section 12.01 or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of

such Section 7 and Section 12.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer based upon facts and circumstances arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

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

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

Subsection 14.03 Termination by Owner.

The Servicer shall not be entitled to any compensation related to any termination of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with an Event of Default. The Owner may terminate this Agreement without cause and transfer servicing to a successor Servicer by delivering to the Servicer written notice of such termination no fewer than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination. If the Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are terminated without cause, the Owner shall reimburse the Servicer for its applicable portion of all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees for one hundred twenty (120) days following the notice of transfer of the Mortgage Loans and outstanding Servicing Advances associated with the Mortgage Loans. Upon written request from the Owner in connection with any such termination, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, 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, and including the delivery to or at the direction of the Owner, all contents of the Mortgage Files in the possession of the Servicer, at the Owner’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

If the Owner has not provided the notice of assignment required by this Section 29, the Servicer shall not be required to treat any other Person as a “Owner” hereunder and may continue to treat the Owner which purports to assign the Agreement as the “Owner” for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 30. Non-Solicitation.

From and after the related Closing Date, the Servicer and any of its Affiliates will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or Affiliates, or by any independent contractors on its behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit a Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Owner, other than in connection with a loss mitigation action. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors 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) are solely the property of the Owner and none of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates shall take any action to undermine these rights and benefits.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Servicer or any of its Affiliates:

(a) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target Mortgagors and so long as such promotional material either is sent to the mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the A-quality servicing portfolio of the Servicer and any of their Affiliates (those it owns as well as those serviced for others) or sent to all of the mortgagors who have specific types of mortgages (such as conventional fixed-rate or conventional adjustable-rate), or sent to those mortgagors whose mortgages fall within specific interest rate ranges;

(b) may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination arrangements that are available; and

(c) may offer to refinance a Mortgage Loan made within thirty (30) days following receipt by it of a pay-off request from the related Mortgagor.

Promotions undertaken by the Servicer or by any Affiliate of the Servicer that are directed to the general public at large (including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements), shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 30.

SECTION 31. Protection of Consumer Information.

Each party agrees that it (i) shall comply with any applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy and security of Consumer Information, (ii) shall not use Consumer Information in any manner inconsistent with any applicable laws and regulations regarding the

privacy and security of Consumer Information, (iii) shall not disclose Consumer Information to third parties except at the specific written direction of the Owner or the Servicer, (iv) shall maintain adequate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect Consumer Information from unauthorized access and (v) shall immediately notify the other party of any actual or suspected breach of the confidentiality of Consumer Information.

SECTION 32. Cooperation of the Servicer With a Reconstitution; Regulation AB Compliance.

(a) The Servicer acknowledges and the Owner agrees that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect either:

(1) one or more Whole Loan Transfers; and

(2) one or more Securitization Transactions;

provided, however, that except in connection with Securitization Transactions, no more than three (3) Persons shall be assignees of the Owner’s interest in this Agreement with respect to a given Mortgage Loan Package.

(b) The Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Owner pursuant to this Section. In connection therewith, the Owner shall deliver any Reconstitution Agreement or other document related to the Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction to the Servicer at least fifteen (15) days prior to such transfer and the Servicer shall execute any Reconstitution Agreement that contains servicing provisions substantially similar to those herein or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer and that restates the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 as of the Reconstitution Date. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, as part of the original offering thereof, purchase any of the securities offered in such Securitization Transaction. Any prospective assignees of the Owner who have entered into a commitment to purchase any of the Mortgage Loans in a Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction may review the Servicer’s servicing operations, upon reasonable prior notice to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with such review and underwriting to the extent such prospective assignees request information or documents that are available and can be produced without unreasonable expense or effort. Subject to any applicable laws, the Servicer shall make the Mortgage Files related to the Mortgage Loans held by the Servicer available at the Servicer’s principal operations center for review by any such prospective assignees during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Servicer (in no event fewer than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice). The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, require that such prospective assignees sign a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information disclosed to the prospective assignee which is not available to the public at large and a release agreement with respect to its activities on the Servicer’s premises. The Owner hereby agrees to reimburse the Servicer for reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Servicer that relate to such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction including without limitation reimbursement

for attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the amount which reasonably reflects time and effort expended by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(c) In order to facilitate compliance with Regulation AB promulgated under the Securities Act, the Servicer and the Owner agree to comply with the provisions of the Regulation AB Compliance Addendum attached hereto as Addendum I.

(d) In connection with any Securitization, the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement substantially in the form of Addendum II.

(e) All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction shall be subject to this Agreement and 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. It is understood and agreed by the Owner and the Servicer that the right to effectuate such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction as contemplated by this Section 32 is limited to the Owner.

FORM OF NOTICE OF SALE OF OWNERSHIP OF MORTGAGE LOAN

Under federal law, borrowers are required to be notified in writing whenever ownership of a mortgage loan secured by their principal dwelling is sold, transferred or assigned (collectively, “sold”) to a new creditor. This Notice is to inform you that your prior creditor has sold your loan (described below) to us, the new creditor identified below.

**Please note that while we now own your loan, we are not the servicer of your loan. The servicer (identified below) acts on our behalf to handle the ongoing administration of your loan, including the collection of mortgage payments.

“The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition if a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, unless (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer’s expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a

REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as “foreclosure property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject to the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.”

8. Subsection 11.16, first sentence of the first paragraph is revised to read as follows:

“Not later than the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Servicer shall forward to the Owner in an electronic format statements, in substantially the same forms as, and providing the information described in, Exhibit 3 hereto; or as otherwise mutually agreed to by Servicer and the Master Servicer.”

9. The Flow Servicing Agreement is modified by adding a new Subsection 11.[26] which reads as follows:

“Subsection 11.26 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 Servicer 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 “contribution” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.”
