Each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no liability for any Servicing Files (or portions thereof) not delivered by the Seller .

The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Servicing File shall be vested in the Trustee 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 Trustee and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of the Trustee in such custodial capacity only. The portion of each Servicing File retained by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be segregated from the other books and records of the Servicer and shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement.

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

The Seller and the Servicer additionally agree as follows:

The Servicer shall be entitled to be paid by the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, its out-of-pocket costs for the preparation and recordation of the Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgage. After the expenses of such recording costs pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof shall have been paid by the Servicer, the Servicer shall submit to the Seller a reasonably detailed invoice for reimbursement of recording costs it incurred hereunder. The Seller, upon receipt of an invoice, shall reimburse the Servicer within five (5) Business Days.

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

(c) The Servicer shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970, as amended (the “Fair Credit Reporting Act”) and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories) on a monthly basis.

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

(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.15 hereof, the Servicer may waive any late payment charge, assumption fee or other fee (other than a Prepayment Charge) that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not make any future advances to any Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan, and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Mortgage Loan, including any modification that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate (except for modifications relating to Relief Act Reduction), defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, make a Monthly Advance in accordance with Section 4.03, in an amount equal to the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (or, at the Seller’s option, at a rate equal to the related Mortgage Interest Rate minus the Option One Servicing Fee Rate) on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 4.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties; provided, further, that the Servicer shall notify the related Custodian of the related Mortgage Loan of such full release or discharge. Upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, within the later of fifteen days from the Closing Date or within fifteen days of such Servicer request, any powers of attorney (one for each county in which any of the Mortgaged Properties are located) and other documents, furnished to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

The Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceedings solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Servicer.

Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause the REMIC or trust fund created under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.

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

With respect to claims of less than $10,000, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i) the related Mortgagor shall provide an affidavit verifying the completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii) the Servicer shall verify the total amount of the claim with the applicable insurance company; and

(iii) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account. If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Trustee.

Section 3.08 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance the minimum coverage of which shall be at least equal to the coverage required by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide or Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides (unless a waiver of such requirement has been obtained by the Servicer from either Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae). Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance shall be maintained with recognized insurers, shall be in such form and amount as would permit the Servicer to be qualified as a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer, and shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. The Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a copy of each such bond and insurance policy upon their request.

Section 3.09 Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related interest rate adjustment date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Master Servicer that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused thereby.

Section 3.10 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

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

Section 3.11 Protection of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account to a different Eligible Institution from time to time; provided that in the event the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account is held in a depository institution or trust company that ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall transfer such Custodial Account or Escrow Account, as the case may be, to an Eligible Institution. The Servicer shall give notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of any change in the location of the Custodial Account no later than 30 days after any such transfer is made and deliver to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a certification notice in the form of Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable, with respect to such Eligible Institution.

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

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

Section 3.12 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably determines to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and provided the sales price and the related terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. After the expenses of such disposition shall have been paid, the Servicer shall pursuant to Section 3.04 apply any remaining proceeds to payment of any unreimbursed Option One Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances or unpaid Seller Remittance Amount incurred with respect to such REO Property.

The Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae Guides.

Section 3.13 Real Estate Owned Reports.

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

Section 3.14 MERS.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.15 Waiver of Prepayment Charges.

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

Section 3.16 Servicing and Administration of PMI Policies.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.17 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

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

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

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

Section 3.18 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

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

(b) As an alternative to permitting a modification or effectuating a foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer may, at its option and as provided in the Trust Agreement, purchase any Mortgage Loan that has become one hundred twenty (120) days or more delinquent in payment; provided, however, that (i) such Mortgage Loan has not been purchased by the NIMS Insurer pursuant to Section 8.03(c) or become subject to a special servicing agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(a), (ii) the Master Servicer promptly notifies the Servicer of its intention to purchase any such delinquent Mortgage Loan and (iii) the Master Servicer shall exercise any such option to purchase a Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after any such Mortgage Loan has become one hundred twenty (120) days delinquent.

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

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

Section 3.19 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreement.

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

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

Section 3.20 Safeguarding Customer Information.

The Servicer has implemented and will maintain security measures designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information published in final form on February 1, 2001, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 and the rules promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time (the “Guidelines”).

The Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer information reasonably available to it regarding such security measures upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer which information shall include, but not be limited to, any Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 report covering the Servicer’s operations, and any other audit reports, summaries of test results or equivalent measures taken by the Servicer with respect to its security measures to the extent reasonably necessary in order for the Seller to satisfy its obligations under the Guidelines.

ARTICLE IV.

PAYMENTS TO MASTER SERVICER

Section 4.01 Remittances.

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

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

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

Section 4.02 Statements to Master Servicer.

(a) Not later than the 10^th calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer (a) a monthly remittance advice in the format set forth in Exhibit D-1 hereto, a monthly defaulted loan report in the format set forth in Exhibit D-2 hereto (or upon such other format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer) relating to the period ending on the last day of the preceding calendar month and a monthly loan loss report in the format set forth in Exhibit D-3 hereto (or such other format mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Master Servicer) and (b) all such information required pursuant to clause (a) above on a magnetic tape, electronic mail, or other similar media reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer. The format of this monthly reporting may be amended from time to time to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.

(b) In addition, no more than 60 days after the end of calendar year December 31, 2007, the Servicer shall provide, but only with respect to such portion of calendar year 2007 for which Mortgage Loans are serviced pursuant to this Agreement, (as such information becomes reasonably available to the Servicer) to the Master Servicer and, upon request, the NIMS Insurer such information concerning the Mortgage Loans and annual remittances to the Master Servicer therefrom as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare the Trust Fund’s federal income tax return. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Servicer (or successor servicer) to the Master Servicer and the Trustee and, upon request, the NIMS Insurer pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force. The Servicer shall also provide, but only with respect to such portion of calendar year 2007 for which Mortgage Loans are serviced pursuant to this Agreement, such information reasonably available to it as may be requested by the Securities Administrator and required for the completion of any tax reporting responsibility of the Securities Administrator within such reasonable time frame as shall enable the Securities Administrator to timely file each Schedule Q (or other applicable tax report or return) required to be filed by it.

(c) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Servicer of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB and (ii) if the Servicer shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate of any of the parties listed on Exhibit I to this Agreement.

If so requested by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Depositor on any date following the date on which information was first provided to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01(k) or, if such a representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonable adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party.

The Servicer shall provide to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor prompt notice of the occurrence of any of the following: any event of default under the terms of this Agreement, any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, the Servicer’s engagement of any Subservicer or Subcontractor, any material litigation involving the Servicer, and any affiliation or other significant relationship between the Servicer and other transaction parties.

(d) Not later than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall provide to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor notice of the occurrence of any material modifications, extensions or waivers of terms, fees, penalties or payments relating to the Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB) along with all information, data, and materials related thereto as may be required to be included in the related Distribution Report on Form 10-D.

Section 4.03 Monthly Advances by Servicer.

On each Remittance Date, no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City Time, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to the aggregate of all Monthly Advances relating to Monthly Payments which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were Delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and will provide such records to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer upon request. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Servicer’s right to (i) pass through late collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu of making Monthly Advances (ii) reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from late collections on the related Mortgage Loans or (iii) utilize an Advancing Person (as defined below).

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

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

Section 4.04 Compensating Interest.

The Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Custodial Account, and retain therein with respect to each Principal Prepayment, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the related Due Period. Such deposit shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to an aggregate amount for any month equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount for such month or (ii) the aggregate General Servicing Fees for such month. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to any Relief Act Reduction or bankruptcy.

Section 4.05 Credit Reporting.

For each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with its current servicing practices, the Servicer will accurately and fully report its underlying borrower credit files to each of the following credit repositories or their successors: Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information Solution, Inc., on a monthly basis in a timely manner. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced for a Xxxxxx Xxx pool, the Servicer shall transmit full credit reporting data to each of such credit repositories in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 (November 20, 1995), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G, reporting each of the following statuses, each month with respect to a Mortgage Loan in a Xxxxxx Xxx pool: New origination, current, delinquent (30-60-90-days, etc), foreclosed or charged off.

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

Section 7.03 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer.

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

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

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

Section 7.04 Subservicing Agreements and Successor Subservicer.

(a) The Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.04 and the proposed Subservicer (i) is an institution which is an approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer as indicated in writing, (ii) represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state as necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement and (iii) is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not permit any Subservicer to hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.04.

(b) The Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer of the appointment of any Subservicer and shall furnish to the Trustee, Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer a copy of any related subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by any Subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.04 and with Sections 4.02(c), 5.02, 5.03(a), 5.03(b), 5.04 (and shall amend, with the consent of the parties hereto, Exhibit H to reflect such Subservicer's assessment and attestation of compliance with the Servicing Criteria), 6.01(k) and 6.03 and Exhibit H of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 5.03(a), any reports on assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Sections 5.02 and 5.04 and any certification required to be delivered under 5.03(b) to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 5.04 as and when required to be delivered hereunder.

(c) The Servicer shall give written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor and a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (A) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (B) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are Participating Entities, and (C) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (B) of this paragraph.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.02(c), 5.02, 5.04, 6.01(k) and 6.03 and Exhibit H of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections 5.02 and 5.04, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

The Servicer acknowledges that a Subservicer or Subcontractor that performs services with respect to mortgage loans involved in this transaction in addition to the Mortgage Loans may be determined by the Depositor to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB on the basis of the aggregate balance of such mortgage loans, without regard to whether such Subservicer or Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB with respect to the Mortgage Loans viewed in isolation. In connection with complying with the requirements set forth in the previous sentence, the Servicer shall (A) respond as promptly as practicable to any good faith request by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor for information regarding each Subservicer and each Subcontractor and (B) cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor with respect to which the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor requests delivery of an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation to deliver such within the time required under Section 5.04.

(d) Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer, Subcontractor or other third party or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer, a Subcontractor, another third party or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of any subservicing, subcontracting or other agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to compliance with Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, Subcontractor or third party and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 7.05 Inspection.

Upon reasonable advanced notice (which advance notice shall be no less than two (2) full Business Days advance notice), the Servicer shall accommodate the Master Servicer’s and the NIMS Insurer’s access during normal business hours to all records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer its most recent publicly available financial statements and such other information relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

Section 8.01 Termination for Cause.

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

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

(ii) any failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period and without notice, its obligations to provide any certifications required pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.03 or 5.04 (including with respect to such certifications required to be provided by any Subservicer or Subcontractor pursuant to Section 7.04), which failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days from the date of delivery required with respect to such certification; or

(iii) except with respect to those items listed in clause (ii) above, any failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, without notice or grace period, its obligations to provide any other information, data or materials required to be provided hereunder pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), 4.02(d), 6.01(k) and 7.04, including any items required to be included in any Exchange Act report; or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(xi) if (x) any of the Rating Agencies reduces or withdraws the rating of any of the Certificates due to a reason directly attributable to the Servicer or (y) the Servicer’s residential primary servicer rating for servicing of subprime loans issued by any of the Rating Agencies is reduced by more than one level from the level in effect on the Closing Date.

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

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

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

Section 8.02 Termination Without Cause.

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

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

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

Section 8.03 Termination for Distressed Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.01 Successor to the Servicer.

Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement (a) pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02(a)(ii), the Master Servicer shall (i) within 90 days of the Servicer’s receipt of notice of such termination, succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement (except that the Master Servicer shall immediately assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Monthly Advances), or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement; or (b) as a result of termination of the Servicer without cause by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Seller shall appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and, to the extent required by the Trust Agreement, shall be a member in good standing of the MERS system (if any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans, unless such Mortgage Loans are withdrawn from MERS and Assignments of Mortgage are recorded in favor of the Trustee at the expense of the successor servicer). The final approval of a successor servicer shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Seller of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates or the NIM Securities. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree, provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the General Servicing Fee permitted under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor servicer shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01, or until the Master Servicer succeeds to and assumes all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 9.01, and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 6.01 and the remedies available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Seller under Sections 6.02 and 6.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 shall be applicable not only to such successor servicer but also to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that are not transferred to it by the Servicer and that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.

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

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

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

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Seller and the Depositor of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.03.

Section 9.02 Costs.

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

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or has become publicly known other than as a result of disclosure by the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (each a “Receiving Party”) in violation of this Agreement; (ii) is received by or available to a Receiving Party properly and lawfully from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without knowledge or reasonable suspicion that the third party’s disclosure is in breach of any obligations to Servicer or anyone else; (iii) has been developed by the Receiving Party completely independent and without the use of any Confidential Information; (iv) has been approved for public release by prior written authorization from the Servicer; or (v) is required to be disclosed by a governmental authority or related governmental agency or is otherwise required to be disclosed by law. For purposes of clause (iv) above, Servicer hereby authorizes without the requirement of the Receiving Parties obtaining from the Servicer any separate or additional prior written authorization, the disclosure of any information relative to the Servicer or the Mortgage Loans by a Receiving Party or its Representatives (as defined below) which is reasonably required to be disclosed, in the normal course of secondary market transactions, to successor purchasers of the Mortgage Loans from the Receiving Parties, to rating agencies, mortgage insurance companies and related financial guaranty insurer of any related mortgage pass-through securities.

Each Receiving Party agrees that:

1. It shall abide by and respect the Disclosing Party’s rights of any nature (including without limitation obligations imposed upon the Disclosing Party to protect the rights of third parties) in the Confidential Information (including but not limited to, patents, copyrights and trade secrets) and shall maintain and preserve the confidentiality of such information, including but without limitation, taking such steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as it takes to preserve and protect the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information.

2. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 9.16, neither Receiving Party nor its subsidiaries, affiliates, and non-affiliated third party vendors and other agents of Receiving Party, as well as any directors, members, officers, and employees of any such entities (collectively, “Representatives”) shall (i) use the Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than as contemplated herein or (ii) disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, except to its subcontractors and consultants who have agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and use the Confidential Information only to the extent required to perform their duties in any manner, in whole or in part, without the express written consent of the Servicer. Moreover, a Receiving Party shall not, except as otherwise required by law, issue any reports, statements or releases pertaining to its access to the Confidential Information, or disclose to any third party that such information is transmitted or accessible to a Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent.

3. It shall, upon termination of the business relationship between the parties or at any time upon Servicer’s prior written request, immediately return to Servicer or destroy, as Servicer may direct, all tangible material within its possession, custody or control containing or reflecting any portion of the Confidential Information, and shall make no further use or disclosure of the Confidential Information for any purpose; and upon Servicer’s request, Receiving Party shall promptly certify that such action has been taken.

4. Each Receiving Party shall establish commercially reasonable controls to ensure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to ensure that the Confidential Information is not disclosed contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, the GLB Act, the regulations provided thereunder, or any other applicable privacy laws and regulations.

5. The Servicer shall have the right, during regular office hours and upon reasonable notice, to audit a Receiving Party to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the GLB Act and other privacy laws and regulations.

Upon receipt of any governmental, judicial or administrative order, subpoena, or discovery request seeking the disclosure of Confidential Information, a Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Servicer in writing of the Confidential Information sought so that the Servicer may seek an appropriate protective order, or take other appropriate measures or, at its discretion, waive Receiving Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Receiving Party shall cooperate reasonably with the Servicer in contesting such request/demand (at the Servicer’s expense), including consulting as to the advisability of legally attempting to contest or list such request/demand. If in the absence of a protective order or a waiver hereunder from the Servicer, a Receiving Party is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or suffer penalty, such Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to such tribunal without liability hereunder; provided, however, a Receiving Party: (i) shall give the Servicer written notice of the Confidential Information to be so disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable; (ii) shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is legally required to; and (iii) shall use best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portions of the Confidential Information to be disclosed as the Disclosing Party designates.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, each party hereto agrees that this Section 9.16 shall remain in force and effect in perpetuity with regard to any information as defined by the GLB Act and other privacy related laws, rules and regulations.

Subject

“Full-File” Reporting to Credit Repositories

Part IV, Section 107, of the servicing Guide currently requires servicers to report only 90-day delinquencies to the four major credit repositories. To ensure that the repositories have up-to-date information for both servicing and origination activity, we have decided to begin requiring—as of the month ending March 31, 1996—servicers to provide the credit repositories a “full-file” status report for the mortgages they service for us.

“Full-file” reporting requires that servicers submit a monthly report to each of the credit repositories to describe the exact status for each mortgage they service for us. The status reported generally should be the one in effect as of the last business day of each month. Servicers may, however, use a slightly later cut-off date—for example, at the and of the first week of a month—to assure that payment corrections, returned checks, and other adjustments related to the previous month’s activity can be appropriately reflected in their report for that month. Statuses that must be reported for any given mortgage include the following: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, and charged-off. (The credit repositories will provide the applicable codes for reporting these statuses to them.) A listing of each of the major repositories to which “full-file” status reports must be sent is attached.

Servicers are responsible for the complete and accurate reporting of mortgage status information to the repositories and for resolving any disputes that arise about the information they report. Servicers must respond promptly to any inquiries from borrowers regarding specific mortgage status information about them that was reported to the credit repositories.

Servicers should contact their Customer Account Team in their lead Xxxxxx Mae regional office if they have any questions about this expanded reporting requirement.
