Section 2.01

Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans, from and after the related Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Mortgage Loans initially subject to this Agreement are described in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto on the initial Effective Date. Additional Mortgage Loans may be subject hereto pursuant to a Transmission to the Servicer by the Owner, setting forth the Effective Date with respect thereto.

Section 2.02

Maintenance of Servicing Files.

The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Servicer is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage Loan is vested in the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Owner as the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the related Servicing Files retained by the Servicer shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to reflect clearly the ownership of the related Mortgage Loans by the Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the related Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Owner, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.03

Books and Records.

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Owner. In particular, the Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Owner, or its designee and shall deliver to the Owner upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, including documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by Xxxxxx Mae and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 4.13. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide.

The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Owner or its designee the related Servicing File (or copies thereof) during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Section 2.04

Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.11; provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner hereunder binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an assignment and assumption of this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Servicer (except as provided in Section 10.02 with respect to a Securitization Transaction by the initial Owner). The Owner also shall advise the Servicer in writing of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted transfer, the Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect such assignee’s ownership of the related Mortgage Loans, and the previous Owner shall be deemed released from its obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans from and after the date of such sale or transfer without the necessity of any action on the part of the Servicer.

Section 2.05

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 promptly after their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation promptly after its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original promptly after receipt thereof, but in no event later than 180 days after its execution, provided, however, that if delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best efforts to obtain such documents and effect delivery as soon as possible after its receipt thereof.

From time to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such request in the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit D. During the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Owner, and the Servicer shall return such documentation to the Custodian upon the request of the Owner or when the Servicer’s need therefore no longer exists.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01

Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer), and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, including provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of title insurance, hazard insurance, flood insurance, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, a Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance, all such coverage to be maintained with a Qualified Insurer, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, all such coverage to be maintained insurance claims, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner may, at its option, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably feasible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner; provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, 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 has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a REMIC election is made, the Servicer shall not (unless the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the “startup date” of such REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer must be a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

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

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

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

Section 4.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed with reasonable diligence and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer shall take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

The Servicer (a) shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive a prepayment penalty or charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such prepayment penalty or charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the collection of such prepayment penalty or charge would be in violation of applicable laws. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that for the purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) the law applicable to the enforcement of prepayment penalties and charges is the law applicable to the related originator of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) state laws prohibiting or limiting prepayment penalties or charges are preempted and thereby inapplicable if the related originator of the mortgage loans is a federal association or federal bank or an operating subsidiary of such institution. In the event the Servicer determines that (i) the foregoing acknowledgement is no longer accurate and (ii) applicable state law would prevent it from fully enforcing prepayment penalties or charges, the Servicer shall (i) provide prompt notice to such effect to the Owner and (ii) provide a written opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law firm experienced in regulatory matters concluding that fully enforcing prepayment penalties or charges would violate applicable law.

Section 4.03

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which any Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall direct the Servicer as to how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and the Servicer shall follow the Owner’s directions with respect thereto.

Section 4.04

Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Any funds in a Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer). Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer only in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by an account certification in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such account certification shall be furnished to the Owner upon reasonable request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, out of the Servicer’s own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of Servicer's receipt, and retain therein, the following collections:

(i)

all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and any prepayment penalties or premiums with respect thereto, on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(iii)

all Liquidation Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds;

(iv)

any net amounts received by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;

(v)

all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vi)

all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vii)

any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;

(viii)

any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.14, 6.01 and 6.02; and

(ix)

with respect to each Full Principal Prepayment or Partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment Interest Shortfall, to the extent of the Servicer’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.05

Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)

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

(ii)

to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Monthly Advance was made;

(iii)

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, and Insurance Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv)

to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date) and (b) any Servicing Fee to which the Servicer is entitled in accordance with the terms hereof to the extent such Servicing Fee has not been paid to or retained by the Servicer;

(v)

to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;

(vi)

to transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

(vii)

Section 4.06

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Any funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by an account certification in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such account certification shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account out of the Servicer’s own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business Days of Servicer's receipt, and retain therein:

(i)

all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii)

all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii)

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

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. Except as provided in Section 4.07, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified Depository.

Section 4.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

for transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO Property;

(v)

for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;

(vi)

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

(vii)

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

(viii)

to remove funds placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and

(ix)

to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.08

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

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor when due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to 80.00% or less (or such other amount provided under applicable law). The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

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

Section 4.09

Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer prior to the effective date of such transfer.

Section 4.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than as provided in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located. All insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

Section 4.11

Blanket Hazard Insurance.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Owner as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required under Section 4.10, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 4.10, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations under Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such blanket 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 a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 4.10 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 4.12

Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, with a Qualified Insurer, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx on all officers, employees and other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 4.13

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.

The Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition if a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, unless (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer’s expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property.

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

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guide and Accepted Servicing Practices, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner and as are approved in writing by the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.

The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.13, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for its own benefit (such option, an “REO Option”). In connection with the exercise of an REO Option, the prior two paragraphs and the related provisions of Section 4.03 and Section 4.04(iii) (such provisions, the “REO Marketing Provisions”) shall be revised as follows. Following the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall submit a detailed invoice to the Owner for all related Servicing Advances and, upon exercising the REO Option, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for such amounts. In the event the REO Option is exercised with respect to an REO Property, Section 4.04 (iii) shall not be applicable thereto. References made in Section 4.03 with respect to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall, for purposes of such REO Property, be deemed to be covered by this paragraph. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event it exercises an REO Option, with respect to the related REO Property, there shall be no breach by the Servicer based upon or arising out of the Servicer’s failure to comply with the REO Marketing Provisions from and after the date on which such REO Option is exercised by the Owner.

Section 4.14

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with requirements of applicable law and the related electronic data received on the 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 electronic data received on the Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request by the Owner, deliver to the Owner 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 Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner thereby.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

Section 5.01

Remittances.

On each Remittance Date the Servicer shall remit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Owner (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the end of the preceding month 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 4.04(viii); minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two 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 such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding related 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 Servicer.

Section 5.02

Statements to the Owner.

Not later than the tenth (10) calendar day, or if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding the tenth calendar day of the month of the related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner, a monthly remittance advice in the format set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto (or in such other electronic format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and Owner), with regard to monthly loan remittance data and Exhibit G (or in such other electronic format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and Owner) with respect to defaulted mortgage loans, with a trial balance report attached thereto, and such other loan level information reasonably available to the Servicer and requested by the Owner.

Section 5.03

Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Section 5.04

Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner and the NIMs Insurer a liquidation report in the format set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto (or in such other format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and Owner) with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01

Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section 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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner’s option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

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

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, all as provided in the Custodial Agreement, the Servicer may request the Custodian to release to the Servicer the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

Section 6.03

Servicing Compensation.

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

Section 6.04

Annual Statement as to Compliance; Financial Statements.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner, on or before March 15, 2006 and February 28, each year beginning February 28, 2007, an Officer's Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or similar agreements has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such responsibilities and obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Servicer to cure such default.

Section 6.05

Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

On or before March 15, 2006 and February 28 of each year beginning February 28, 2007, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Owner to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this or similar Agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. By providing Owner a copy of a Uniform Single Attestation Program Report from their independent public accountant's on an annual basis, Servicer shall be considered to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.05.

Section 6.06

Owner’s Right to Examine Servicer Records.

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

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal or state government regulations.

Section 6.07

Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

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

Section 6.08

Non-solicitation.

The Servicer shall not conduct any solicitation targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements, shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 6.08.

Section 6.09

Annual Certification and Indemnification.

(i)

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are subject to a pass-through transfer or other securitization (a “Securitization”) in which the filing of a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission is required, by March 15th of each year or in connection with any additional Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification required to be filed upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, to the entity filing the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Sarbanes Certifying Party”) for the benefit of such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of such entity.

(ii)

The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.09 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Sarbanes Certifying Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Sarbanes Certifying Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Sarbanes Certifying Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer's obligations under Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.09 or the Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01

Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon reasonable request, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information, unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01

Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner, its successors and assigns, and any agent of the Owner (each an “Indemnified Person”) and hold each such Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Indemnified Person may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner or other Indemnified Person if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or such other Indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner and such other Indemnified Person shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02

Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

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

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien 1-4 family mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing. Furthermore, in the event the Servicer transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to an affiliate of the Servicer, such affiliate shall satisfy the condition above, and shall also be fully liable to the Owner for all of the Servicer's obligations and liabilities hereunder.

Section 8.03

Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any 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 the Owner 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 expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, the Owner shall reimburse the Servicer within thirty days of receipt by the Owner of a billing statement from the Servicer providing reasonable detail with respect thereto, unless the Owner is disputing such charges, in which event the Owner shall reimburse the Servicer as promptly as feasible upon resolution of such dispute.

Section 8.04

Servicer Not to Resign.

The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner 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 Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01.

Section 8.05

No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon the Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT

Section 9.01

Events of Default.

Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of the Servicer:

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer’s obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or

(ii)

any 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, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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 two Business Days; or

(vi)

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

(vii)

the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, 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 except as otherwise permitted herein;

(viii)

the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix)

failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.09 or Article XI of this Agreement which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans.

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same.

From and after the 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 the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all 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 or any REO Property.

Section 9.02

Waiver of Defaults.

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

ARTICLE X

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; and (ii) termination by the Owner pursuant to Section 9.01. Simultaneously with any such termination and the transfer of servicing hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any outstanding Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances (net of any amounts owed by the Servicer to the Owner hereunder).

Section 10.02

Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion Under this Agreement Upon a Securitization Transaction or Whole Loan Transfer.

The Owner and the Servicer agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner, at its sole option, may effect Whole Loan Transfers or Securitization Transactions, retaining the Servicer as the servicer thereof or subservicer if a master servicer is employed, or as applicable the “servicer”. At the election of the Owner, from and after the Reconstitution Date, the Mortgage Loans transferred shall remain covered by this Agreement, insofar as the Servicer shall continue to service such Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or shall be subject to a pooling and servicing agreement or a subservicing agreement containing customary secondary market servicing provisions with respect to mortgage loans that are subject to a rated mortgage loan securitization, including without limitation, the provisions specified in paragraph (e) below.

The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner in connection with each Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction in accordance with this Section 10.02. In connection therewith the Servicer shall:

(i)

make all representations and warranties with respect to the Servicer itself as of the Reconstitution Date of the related Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction;

(ii)

negotiate in good faith and execute any seller/servicer agreements required by the shelf registrant to effectuate the foregoing provided such agreements create no greater obligation or cost on the part of the Servicer than otherwise set forth in this Agreement;

(iii)

provide as applicable:

(i)

any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Servicer, including the Servicer's foreclosure, delinquency experience and the Servicer's standards, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Owner shall request; and

(ii)

such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, financial description of the Servicer as servicer for inclusion in any disclosure document or offering memorandum to be distributed to potential investors in connection with a Securitization Transaction with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Servicer as are reasonably believed necessary by the Trustee, any Rating Agency, or the Owner, as the case may be, in connection with such Whole Loan Transfers or Securitization Transactions. The Owner shall pay all third party costs associated with the preparation of such information. The Servicer shall execute any servicer agreements required within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such servicer agreements which time shall be sufficient for the Servicer and Servicer’s counsel to review such servicer agreements. Under this Agreement, the Servicer shall retain a servicing fee at a rate per annum equal to no less than the rate specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan;

(iv)

indemnify the Owner for any material misstatements or omissions contained in the information provided pursuant to (c) above; and

(v)

in connection with any Securitization Transaction of any Mortgage Loans, to execute a pooling and servicing agreement or a subservicing agreement, which pooling and servicing agreement or subservicing agreement may, at the Owner’s direction, contain contractual provisions including a 24-day certificate payment delay (54-day total payment delay), servicer advances of delinquent scheduled payments of principal and interest through liquidation (unless deemed non-recoverable) and prepayment interest shortfalls (to the extent of the monthly servicing fee payable thereto), servicing and mortgage loan representations and warranties which in form and substance conform to the representations and warranties in this Agreement and to secondary market standards for securities backed by mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and such provisions with regard to servicing responsibilities, investor reporting, segregation and deposit of principal and interest payments, custody of the Mortgage Loans, and other covenants as are required by the Owner and one or more Rating Agencies for “AAA” rated mortgage pass-through transactions which are “mortgage related securities” for the purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, unless otherwise mutually agreed. If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860(D) of the Code) unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

In the event the Owner has elected to have the Servicer hold record title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date the Servicer shall prepare an assignment in blank or, at the option of the Owner, to the Trustee from the Servicer acceptable to the Trustee for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the Whole Loan Transfers or Securitization Transactions. The Owner shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated therewith. The Servicer shall execute each assignment, track such assignments to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by the trustee upon the Servicer’s receipt thereof. Additionally, the Servicer shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Owner, any note endorsements in connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction shall remain subject to this agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this agreement and with respect thereto this agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Upon termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04 or 9.01, the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree. 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 shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with replacing the Servicer upon its resignation or the termination of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, shall be payable on demand by the resigning or terminated Servicer without any right of reimbursement therefor.
