DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS

Section 6.01. Possession of Mortgage Files.

The contents of each Mortgage File required to be retained by the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser or its designee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Servicer shall be permitted to maintain the Mortgage Files in imaged, rather than physical, form consistent with the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer’s possession of any portion of each such Mortgage File is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the contents of each Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of the Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The Mortgage File retained by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to reflect clearly the ownership of such related Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Mortgage File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 7.03 of this Agreement or if required under applicable law or court order. The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser copies of any documents in a Mortgage File reasonably requested by the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the date of such request, at the expense of the Purchaser.

Section 6.02. Books and Records; Transfers of Mortgage Loans.

Subject to this Agreement, from and after the sale of the Mortgage Loans to 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 on account of interest and principal due after the related Cut-off Date, shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as owner of the Mortgage Loans, and the Servicer shall retain record title to the related Mortgages for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing and the supervision of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

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 each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to 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, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, including but not limited to documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 11.23. 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, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Seller complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac Selling and Servicing Guide, as amended from time to time. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from the unenforceability (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of any Mortgage Loan Document recreated in the manner described in the foregoing sentence against the applicable Mortgagor as a result of such re-creation or the absence of such original Mortgage Loan Document.

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.

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Servicer 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 Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans unless the books and records show such person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that in no event shall there be more than four (4) Persons (including Xxxxxxx Sachs Mortgage Company) at any given time in the aggregate having the status of “Purchaser” hereunder with respect to a single Mortgage Loan Package. The Purchaser also shall advise the Servicer of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Purchaser from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred. If the Servicer receives notification of a transfer less than five (5) Business Days before the monthly Determination Date, the Servicer’s duties to remit and report to the new purchaser(s) as required by Article XI shall begin with the first Determination Date after the Reconstitution Date.

Section 6.03. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement delivered to the Purchaser prior to or on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver and release to the Custodian those Mortgage Loan Documents as required by the Custodial Agreement and by this Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything contrary contained in the Custodial Agreement, prior to the related Closing Date the Seller shall be obligated to deliver and release to the Custodian only documents (a), (b) and (f) listed on Exhibit 1 hereto. Subject to Recording Office Delays (as defined below), within 90 days after the related Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian each of the documents described in Exhibit 1 not delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement; provided that, subject to Recording Office Delays, such 90-day period shall not extend any of the other cure periods available to the Seller pursuant to this Section 6.03, and provided, further, that nondelivery of the documents described in Exhibit 1 on or prior to the related Closing Date shall constitute notice to the Seller for purposes of this Section 6.03.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, subject to the exception report attached to such certification or subsequent certification delivered under the Custodial Agreement. The Seller will be responsible for the fees and expenses related to the recording of any intervening or prior assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Seller or to any prior owners of or mortgagees with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will be responsible for the Custodian’s fees and expenses with respect to the initial inventory, delivery, certification and maintenance of the Mortgage Loans before and after the related Closing Date.

The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 11.01 or 11.18 within two weeks after their execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian with a Seller-certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks after 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 180 days of its submission for recordation or as soon thereafter as such recording office will make such certified copy available.

In the event the public recording office is delayed in returning any original document (“Recording Office Delays”), the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian within 240 days of its submission for recordation, a copy of such document and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall (i) identify the recorded document; (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay by the public recording office and (iii) state the date by which the Seller expects to receive the applicable recorded document from the applicable recording office.

Within ninety (90) days after the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, deliver to the Purchaser or its designee the original MIC or LGC, or an Officer’s Certificate, which shall (i) state that the MIC or LGC has not been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee due solely to a delay by the insuring agency, (ii) state the amount of time generally required by the insuring agency to process the MIC or LGC and (iii) specify the date the MIC or LGC will be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee. The Seller shall be required to deliver the MIC or LGC to the Purchaser or its designee by the date specified in clause (iii) above.

If the Seller, the Purchaser or the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File pertaining to a Mortgage Loan to be defective (or missing) in any material respect, and such defect or missing document materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering such defect shall promptly so notify the Seller. The Seller shall have a period of 90 days after receipt of such written notice within which to correct or cure any such defect. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect cannot be corrected or cured and materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser, the Seller will, upon the expiration of the applicable cure period described above, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 7.03; provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if such defect constitutes a Qualification Defect, any such repurchase must take place within 75 days of the date such defect is discovered; provided, further, that the foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event the Seller cannot deliver such items due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; and provided, further, that the Seller shall deliver instead a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an Officer’s Certificate from the Seller confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording. Any such document shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee promptly upon receipt thereof from the related recording office.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, if, at the end of such 90-day period, the Seller delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser certifying that the Seller is using good faith efforts to correct or cure such defect and identifying progress made, then the Purchaser shall grant the Seller an extension to correct or cure such defect. The extension shall not extend beyond (1) if the defect is a Qualification Defect, the date that is 75 days after the date the defect is discovered, or, (2) if the defect is not a Qualification Defect, the date that is 30 days beyond the original 90-day cure period. If the defect is not a Qualification Defect, additional 30-day extensions may be obtained pursuant to the same procedure, as long as the Seller demonstrates continued progress toward a correction or cure; provided that no extension shall be granted beyond 180 days from the date on which the Seller received the original notice of the defect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the failure of the Purchaser to notify the Seller of any defective or missing document in a Mortgage File within such 90-day period, or the failure of the Purchaser to require the Seller to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan upon expiration of such 90-day period, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder, including the rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan, to require the Seller to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan and the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Custodian certifies as to any document as being delivered to it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement in a non-defective state and such document subsequently becomes missing or defective, the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan by reason of such missing or defective document, to redeliver such document to the Custodian or to correct any such defect.

To the extent received by it, the Servicer shall promptly 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 this Agreement.

Section 6.04. Assignment and Conveyance

The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on each Closing Date, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

ARTICLE VII

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND

COVENANTS; REMEDIES FOR BREACH

Section 7.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Seller and, solely if specified below, the Servicer, hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date or such other date specified herein:

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the tape delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser for the related Mortgage Loan Package is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) There are no defaults by the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

(c) Except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded in the applicable public recording office required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Mortgage File and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(d) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (with respect to pending bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings), no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (with respect to pending bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings), the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.

(e) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer generally acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac and to prudent mortgage lending institutions, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA, VA, Xxxxxx Mae or prudent mortgage lending institutions, as applicable, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and Xxxxxxx Mac Guide as well as all additional requirements set forth herein, pursuant to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of Customary Servicing Procedures and providing coverage in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.

(f) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, predatory or abusive lending, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

(g) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in full which may have been received on or after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date), and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default.

(h) The Mortgage is a valid, existing, perfected and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the lien of the Mortgage, subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy, if any, delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. With respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Security Agreement is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest on the related Cooperative Shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential Cooperative Corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential Cooperative Corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by such Security Agreement.

(i) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and, in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Security Agreement, are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and the Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser.

(j) All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and, in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Security Agreement, had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. Either the Mortgagor is a natural person or the related co-borrower or guarantor is a natural person.

(k) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(l) The Seller and all other parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located and any qualification requirements of, with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable.

(m) (i) With respect to each Mortage Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA or CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, issued by a title insurer acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment, (ii) with respect to certain Refinanced Mortgage Loans, a title search has been done showing no lien (other than the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) on the related Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the Mortgage or (iii) in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where title insurance policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead received. For each Mortgage Loan covered by a title insruance policy, (i) the Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and its assigns without any further act and (ii) no claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

(n) Other than with respect to (i) Mortgage Loans with Monthly Payments not paid before the lapse of the grace period applicable thereto under the applicable loan documents as of the Cut-off Date and (ii) Mortgage Loans indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.

(o) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

(p) All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation.

(q) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD.

(r) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule are adjustable and fixed-rate mortgage loans having an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of the month. As to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down as provided in the related Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Initial Rate Cap on the first Adjustment Date or the Periodic Rate Cap on any subsequent Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the Lifetime Rate Cap. Each Mortgage Note evidencing a Mortgage Loan that is not both an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan and a Balloon Mortgage Loan requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient to amortize the original principal balance fully over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. Each Mortgage Note evidencing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan that is not a Balloon Mortgage Loan requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient (i) during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to amortize the original principal balance fully over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during the period following each Adjustment Date, to amortize the outstanding principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. No Mortgage Note evidencing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization. Unless otherwise indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan.

(s) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

(t) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Except as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law.

(u) The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable.

(v) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security account except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (h) above.

(w) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, in a form acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, and such appraisal complies with the requirements of FIRREA, and, to the extent required in the Underwriting Guidelines with respect to mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan, was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser.

(x) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(y) The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature, nor does it contain any “buydown” provision which is currently in effect.

(z) The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(aa) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by applicable law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinanced Mortgage Loan and has acknowledged receipt of such materials to the extent required by applicable law and such documents will remain in the Mortgage File.

(bb) No Mortgage Loan has an LTV at origination in excess of 125%. With respect to each Conventional Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% that is subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy was issued by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac at the time of origination, which insures that portion of the Conventional Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by Xxxxxx Mae. Each Non-Conventional Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to FHA or VA, as applicable, at the time of origination, which insures that portion of the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by FHA or VA, as applicable. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith at least until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to less than 80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser.

(cc) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and no improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any zoning law or regulation.

(gg) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents (i) which have been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee or which have been submitted for recording and not yet returned and (ii) which are set forth on the related exception report attached to the Custodian’s initial certification under the Custodial Agreement.

(hh) Immediately prior to the payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not assigned or pledged by the Seller and the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and the Seller had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans. Following the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser will own the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to monitor, possess and control the Mortgage Loans except in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, neither the Seller nor the Servicer will have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loans and neither the Seller nor the Servicer will have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loans, except as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser.

(ii) Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to, with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, and with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

(jj) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae, and the Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

(vv) No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of affairs exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or the Servicer or any designee of the Seller or the Servicer or any corporation in which the Seller, the Servicer or any officer, director, or employee of the Seller or the Servicer had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer 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 therein (or which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser in or the value of the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.

Within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein, the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured within 90 days after the discovery of the breach, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a breach of any one of the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (nn), (zz), (aaa), (bbb), (ccc), (ddd) and (eee) in Section 7.01 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loans and, within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of such breach, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.

In the event a deficient Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the Seller shall, simultaneously with its remittance to the Servicer of such Repurchase Price, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall simultaneously be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

In addition to such cure and repurchase obligations, the Seller or the Servicer shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion by any third party that is based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement; provided, however, indemnification shall not be available for any economic losses of the Purchaser due to reinvestment losses, loss of investment income or any other special, indirect or consequential losses or damages.

ARTICLE XI

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 11.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer; Subservicing.

The Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and Customary Servicing Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, 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 shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the guidelines of the applicable governing agency, including, with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, FHA or VA, as applicable, and shall comply with all of the rules and regulations as set forth by each applicable agency. The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of this section; 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 (i) with respect to the Conventional Mortgage Loans, 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 and (ii) with respect to the Non-Conventional Mortgage Loans, each subservicer is an eligible FHA and VA 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 imposed by FHA or VA, or which would require notification to FHA or VA. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser if the Servicer retains an unaffiliated servicer. 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 Servicing Fee.

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 Purchaser, 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 Purchaser.

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.

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 Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Purchaser 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.

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 (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent, and the Servicer has the consent of the Purchaser) the Servicer shall not enter into any payment plan or agreement to modify payments with a Mortgagor resulting in the impairment of coverage under the MIC or LCG, as applicable, 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), defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, change the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 11.17, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 11.17. 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 Purchaser when the Servicer believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, 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 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 Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.13.

The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser of its intention to institute any foreclosure proceeding no fewer than ten (10) days prior to initiating such proceeding. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser of its intention to accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or a partial release of any of the Mortgaged Property subject to the lien of the Mortgage no fewer than ten (10) days prior to accepting such deed-in-lieu or partial release and shall only accept such deed-in-lieu or grant such partial release if the Purchaser has not objected before the end of the tenth day after delivery of such notice. In connection with any foreclosure sale, the Servicer shall consult with the Purchaser with regard to a bid price for the related Mortgaged Property and shall set such bid price in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Purchaser 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, if the Servicer 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 Servicer shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the inspection, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser 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 to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser 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 Section 11.05 hereof.

Section 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 Purchaser and consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures. In the event that any payment due under any 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 or Xxxxxxx Mac and FHA or VA, 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 any 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 Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be paid first and any amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

Section 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.

Section 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 “Bank of America, National Association, in trust for the Purchaser of Residential Mortgage Loans serviced under a Flow Mortgage Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2004, and various Mortgagors.” Such Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. The Custodial Account shall initially be established and maintained at Bank of America, National Association, or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Purchaser’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, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it on or after 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 adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(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 Sections 11.15, 11.17 or 11.19;

(g) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 11.13;

(h) any amounts payable in connection with a Mortgage Loan repurchase under Section 6.03 or 7.03.;

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

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

(k) any BPP Mortgage Loan Payments payable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.28.

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, assumption fees, BPP Fees and other 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 Purchaser, 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 Purchaser) 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.

Section 11.05. Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 11.15;

(b) to reimburse itself for P&I Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (b) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 6.03 or 7.03, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 6.03 or 7.03, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(c) to reimburse itself for any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser unless the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6.03 or 7.03, in which case the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 6.03 or 7.03 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(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 Purchaser in an Officer’s Certificate) by the Servicer pursuant to subclause (b) or (c) above, provided that the Mortgage Loan for which such advances were made is not required to be repurchased by a Seller pursuant to Section 7.03;

(h) to pay to itself any interest earned or any investment earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account, net of any losses on such investments;

(i) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Custodial Account; and

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

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

Section 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 “Bank of America, National Association, in trust for the Purchaser under the Flow Mortgage Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2004, and/or subsequent Purchasers of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors T&I.” The Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. The Escrow Account shall initially be established and maintained at Bank of America, National Association, or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Purchaser’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, (b) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property and (c) all proceeds from any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Section 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.

Section 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 the Servicer pursuant to Section 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, 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.

Section 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 Sections 11.05(c), 11.05(d) and 11.07(b). No costs incurred by the Servicer or subservicers in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating remittances to the Purchaser, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Section 11.09. Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 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 and FHA or VA, as applicable, in an amount which 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. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original 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 Section 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 the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and FHA or VA, 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 and FHA or VA requirements, as applicable.

Section 11.11. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80% that is subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of a percentage in conformance with Xxxxxx Mae and FHA or VA requirements, as applicable. The Servicer shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Servicer shall obtain from another insurer a comparable replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance 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 Section 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 Purchaser in preparing and presenting, 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 11.06, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Escrow Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.07.

Section 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 forgery, embezzlement, 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 Section 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 FHA or VA, Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ & Servicers’ 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 FHA or VA and Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 30 days prior to modification or any material change.

Section 11.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Servicer, or in the event the Servicer 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, or the perfection of the ownership or security interest of the Purchaser in such REO Property would be adversely effected, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as permitted by law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

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

The Servicer 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 three years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Servicer 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 period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Servicer 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 Servicer as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement among the Servicer and Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in 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 Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 11.17. On the Remittance Date immediately following the calendar month in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 11.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Servicer, or the Servicer itself. The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in the Section 11.13 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 11.14. Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee from interest payments actually collected on the Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, prepayment penalties, BPP Fees and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. 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. The Servicing Fee shall not be reduced by the amount of any guaranty fee payable to FHA or VA.

Section 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 Purchaser 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 Section 11.05(b) through (i), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 11.17, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the end of the calendar month preceding the month in which the Remittance Date occurs, minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the related Due Date.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Bank of America, National Association, or its successor, as its prime lending rate, 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 by the Servicer to the Purchaser 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 the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

Section 11.16. Statements to the Purchaser.

Not later than five (5) days prior to each Remittance Advice Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser in an electronic format a statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit 7 and certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth on a loan-by-loan basis: (a) the amount of the distribution made on such Remittance Date which is allocable to principal and allocable to interest; (b) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior calendar month; and (c) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the preceding month. 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 and the book value of any REO Property. The Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser 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. Such liquidation report shall be incorporated into the remittance report delivered to the Purchaser in the form of Exhibit 7 hereto. The Servicer shall also provide such information as set forth above to the Purchaser in electronic form in the Servicer’s standard format, a copy of which has been provided by the Servicer.

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 Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare federal income tax returns as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Section 11.17. Advances by the Servicer.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall either (a) deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date (each such advance, a “P&I Advance”), (b) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 11.17, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance or (c) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (a) or (b) aggregating the total amount of advances to be made. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be permitted to make any advances from amounts held for future distribution, and instead shall be required to make all advances from its own funds, unless the Servicer, its parent, or their respective successors hereunder shall have a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch, Inc., or the equivalent rating of another Rating Agency. The Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all other payments or recoveries (including proceeds under any title, hazard or other insurance policy, or condemnation awards) with respect to a Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Servicer, in its good faith judgment, determines that such P&I Advances would not be recoverable pursuant to Section 11.05(d). The determination by the Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Purchaser, which details the reasons for such determination. The Servicer shall not have any obligation to advance amounts in respect of shortfalls relating to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and similar state and local laws.

Section 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 Purchaser’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, 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, or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related MIC or LGC. 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 Section 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.

Section 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 Purchaser or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser 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 should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer shall remit to the Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall insure the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 11.20. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser, to any master servicer and/or trustee which is master servicing or acting as trustee with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Securitization or other securitization transaction (each, a “Master Servicer”) and to the Sarbanes Certifying Party not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the related Closing Date occurs) or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the annual report of the entity which is the depositor (or other party responsible for filing Form 10-K with the Commission (as defined below)) of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Securitization or other securitization transaction (the “Depositor”) on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), 15 calendar days before the date on which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer 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.

(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Securitization or other securitization transaction and for so long as a certificate under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, is required to be given by the Sarbanes Certifying Party in connection therewith, not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the related Closing Date occurs) or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, 15 calendar days before the date on which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12 to the Sarbanes Certifying Party for the benefit of the Sarbanes Certifying Party and its officers, directors and affiliates.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Servicer 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 Servicer in the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 11.20 or Section 11.21, or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

(d) It is acknowledged and agreed that each Master Servicer and the Sarbanes Certifying Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 11.20 and shall be entitled independently to enforce the provisions of this Section 11.20 with respect to any obligations owed to such entity as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

Section 11.22. Servicer Shall Provide Access and Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser, and for any Purchaser 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 Purchaser, 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 Purchaser may require. The Servicer 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 purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.23. 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.

Section 11.24. Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser 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. At a minimum, the Servicer shall 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;

In no event shall the Servicer be obligated to deposit any amounts into the Custodial Account to effect the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties from its own funds. During the time the Clean-up Call Funds are held in the Custodial Account, such funds shall remain uninvested. In connection with any such termination of the trust, the Servicer shall cause the Clean-up Call Funds to be remitted to the trustee or paying agent, as applicable, at least one business day (or such earlier date as may be required under the operative documents for such Securitization) prior to the applicable distribution date on which such funds are to be distributed to investors.

The Option Holder shall be obligated under the operative documents for such Securitization to reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the termination of the trust at the direction of the Option Holder and shall be obligated thereunder to indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the Servicer’s termination of the trust at the direction of the Option Holder, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

For the avoidance of any doubt, no duty of the Servicer to remit or advance funds hereunder (including, without limitation, Servicing Advances) shall include remittances or advances of or with respect to BPP Fees. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event servicing is transferred from the Servicer, the BPP Addendum shall be of no further force and effect and the Servicer shall not have obligations to make BPP Mortgage Loan Payments or otherwise with respect to the BPP Addendum; provided however, that the Servicer would be required to make any payments required under the BPP Addendum with respect to protected events that occur on or prior to the effective date of termination as set forth in the BPP Addendum.

Prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Section 6.03 or 7.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.03, 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to the Seller 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 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 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 Sections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Servicer 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.

SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

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.

It is not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Seller or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (b) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Seller and the Purchaser each acknowledge that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not involve, nor is it intended in any way to constitute, the sale of a “security” or “securities” within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, and none of the representations, warranties, or agreements of the Seller or the Purchaser shall create any inference that the transactions involve any “security” or “securities.”

ARTICLE XXX

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the initial Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer, and the respective successors and assigns of the initial Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer. The initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchasers may assign this Agreement to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred pursuant to a sale or financing upon prior written notice to the Servicer in accordance with the following paragraph; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to service any Mortgage Loan Package purchased pursuant to one Commitment Letter for more than four (4) Persons for assignees of Xxxxxxx Sachs Mortgage Company or its respective affiliates at any time in the aggregate hereunder, and shall not recognize any assignment of this Agreement to the extent that following such assignment more than such number of Persons would be Purchasers hereunder. As used herein, the trust formed in connection with a Securitization shall be deemed to constitute a single “Person.” Upon any such assignment and written notice thereof to the Servicer, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Servicer and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the Servicer and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans.

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the end of the month preceding the date upon which the first remittance is to be made to an assignee of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall provide to the Servicer written notice of any assignment setting forth: (a) the Servicer’s applicable Mortgage Loan identifying number for each of the Mortgage Loans affected by such assignment; (b) the aggregate scheduled transfer balance of such Mortgage Loans; and (c) the full name, address and wiring instructions of the assignee and the name and telephone number of an individual representative for such assignee, to whom the Servicer should: (i) send remittances; (ii) send any notices required by or provided for in this Agreement; and (iii) deliver any legal documents relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, but not limited to, contents of any Mortgage File obtained after the effective date of any assignment).

ARTICLE XXXI

NON-SOLICITATION

From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller, the Servicer and any of their respective affiliates hereby agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors 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 Purchaser. 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) shall be transferred to Purchaser pursuant hereto on the Closing Date and none of the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates shall take any action to undermine these rights and benefits.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective 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 Seller, 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 FHA, VA, conventional fixed-rate or conventional adjustable-rate (including adjustable-rate mortgages)) 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 Seller or the Servicer or by any affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer which 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 Article XXXI.

(b) The Assignor represents and warrants to the Assignee that the Assignor has not taken any action which would serve to impair or encumber the Assignor’s ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans since the date of the Servicing Agreement.

(c) The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement without the joinder of the Assignee with respect to mortgage loans not conveyed to the Assignee hereunder, provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not affect or be binding on the Assignee.

It is the intention of the Assignor, Servicer and Assignee that the Servicing Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Servicer and the Assignee and their successors and assigns.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Assignee.

(a) Decision to Purchase.

(c) Enforceability. The Assignee hereto represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each of the other parties hereto) constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5. Representations and Warranties of the Assignor. The Assignor hereby represents and warrants to the Assignee as follows:

(a) The Assignor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of New York with full power and authority (corporate and other) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement and this Assignment Agreement.

10-2

(b) This Assignment Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Assignor, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement of the Assignor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date thereof.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound.

(e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Assignor, threatened, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter that in the judgment of the Assignor will be determined adversely to the Assignor and will if determined adversely to the Assignor materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement.

(f) Except for the sale to the Assignee, the Assignor has not assigned or pledged any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage or any interest or participation therein.

(g) The Assignor has not satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded the Mortgage, and the Assignor has not released the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Assignor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination, or rescission. The Assignor has not released any Mortgagor, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement or other agreement approved by the related Federal Insurer, to the extent such approval was required.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 6 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 5 with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 5, by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement (or any officer’s certificate delivered pursuant thereto).

10-3

It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.

Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.

In the event the Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Servicer. If the Servicer does not within 60 days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the Servicing Agreement) or purchase for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan

Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.

9. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS).

10. Notices.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed conclusively to have been given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested or transmitted by telex, telegraph or telecopier and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, to: (i) in the case of the Servicer, [_____________________, _____________________] or such address as may hereafter be furnished by the Servicer; (ii) in the case of the Assignee, _________________, _________________, Attention: ________________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignee, and (iii) in the case of the Assignor, __________________, Attention: _________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignor.

11. Counterparts.
