The Operations Guide may be amended from time to time by Servicer with consent of the Subservicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Subservicer, without formal amendment of this Agreement. To the extent of a conflict between the Operations Guide and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. In the event the Operations Guide and this Agreement are silent as to any servicing activity, Subservicer shall perform such servicing activity as is consistent with the FNMA Servicing Guide. In the event the FNMA Servicing Guide is silent as to such servicing activity, the Subservicer shall notify the Servicer and follow such directions as the Servicer may reasonably provide. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subservicer does not own the Servicing Rights relating to any Mortgage Loan retained by the Servicer and subject to this Agreement, and Subservicer has agreed to subservice such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The Subservicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of records for the Mortgage Loans. The Subservicer’s books and records shall reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans in the name MLCC or as MLCC may otherwise direct in order to reflect any change in the ownership of such Mortgage Loans.

(c) The Subservicer shall notify the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining Knowledge of the Subservicer’s failure to subservice any Mortgage Loan consistent with this Agreement and shall take all appropriate actions required to correct any such servicing deficiencies so that such loans are thereafter subserviced in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Subservicer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses required to effectuate such remediation. In addition to the foregoing, Subservicer shall take such additional corrective action as may be directed by Servicer, the reasonable cost of which shall be the responsibility of Servicer, and shall make Servicer whole each month for any Mortgage Rate shortfall due to such failure.

(d) The Subservicer may not waive, modify or vary any term of a Mortgage Note or Mortgage without the Servicer’s prior written consent.

(viii) any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.07; and

(ix) any amounts received with respect to Prepayment Charges as set forth in Section 2.13.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into 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 2.17, need not be deposited by the Subservicer into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Subservicer and the Subservicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.09.

Section 2.09 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall have the sole power and authority to withdraw funds from the Custodial Account and reimburse Subservicer for expenses incurred by it as subservicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer hereby permits the Subservicer, solely for the Servicer’s convenience and solely in a custodial and administrative capacity only, to, unless the Servicer has revoked such permission in its sole and absolute discretion or an Event of Default has occurred, withdraw, from time to time, from the related Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Servicer in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Subservicing Advances to extent legally recoverable, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Subservicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Subservicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Subservicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Servicer;

(iii) to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(iv) to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07 related to any REO Property, it being understood that, in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property;

(v) to reimburse itself for any undisputed Subservicing Advances or REO expenses after the REO Disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property not otherwise reimbursed above to the extent legally recoverable;

The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, within ten (10) days of the establishment of the Escrow Account, the Subservicer shall provide the Servicer with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Subservicer in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b) The Subservicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis (such funds deposited and held in the clearing account may not be commingled with any funds owned by the Subservicer, but may be commingled with the proceeds of any other mortgage loans or with funds serviced for other investors or for the Subservicer’s own portfolio) and in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business Days of Subservicer’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 such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and

(ii) all amounts representing Restricted Proceeds.

(c) The Subservicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2.11. The Subservicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to

the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Subservicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor.

Section 2.11 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Subservicer only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, maintenance fees, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, co-op charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(ii) to reimburse the Subservicer for any Subservicing Advances made by the Subservicer pursuant to Section 2.12 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account for application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

The Subservicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment

of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Subservicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 2.13 Prepayment Charges.

The Subservicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the Prepayment Charge is enforced, (iii) the mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Subservicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Subservicer is required to deposit the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in the Custodial Account no later than one (1) Business Day following such waiver.

Section 2.14 OFAC Reporting.

With respect to each Mortgagor and after the related Servicing Date, the Subservicer will monitor applicable sanction lists pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including to determine whether any Mortgagor becomes listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC Regulations”). In the event a Mortgagor is listed as a “blocked person”, the Subservicer shall immediately notify the Servicer.

Section 2.15 Servicing Transfer.

At the end of the Subservicing Period or immediately upon Subservicer’s receipt of a Notice of Default pursuant to Section 14.01 of this Agreement, the Servicer, or its designee, shall assume all servicing responsibilities related to the Mortgage Loans and the Subservicer shall cease all servicing responsibilities related to the Mortgage Loans. At the end of the Subservicing Period or immediately upon Subservicer’s receipt of a Notice of Default pursuant to Section 14.01, as applicable, the Subservicer shall, at its cost and expense if terminated for cause pursuant to this Agreement, otherwise, at Servicer’s cost and expense, take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to the Servicer, or its designee, in compliance with applicable law. The Subservicer agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as the Servicer, or its designee may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the servicing transfer.

Subservicer shall pay all hazard and flood insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy and LPMI Policy premiums, due within thirty (30) days after the date of transfer of servicing. Subservicer shall pay all tax bills (including interest, late charges and penalties in connection therewith) due, meaning economic loss, within thirty (30) days after the date of transfer of servicing. Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any advances for such premiums made by

the Subservicer prior to the transfer of servicing within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice for the same. Escrow advances are to be netted against positive escrow balances and one wire will be sent to Servicer or successor subservicer. For ninety (90) days after the date of transfer of servicing, Subservicer shall deliver such tax bills as it may receive with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the same, thereafter Subservicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to deliver such tax bills as it may receive with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer within a reasonable time of its receipt of same. For ninety (90) days after the date of transfer of servicing, Subservicer shall deliver such insurance policies or renewals and invoices as it may receive with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of same, thereafter Subservicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to deliver such insurance policies or renewals and invoices as it may receive with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer within a reasonable time of its receipt of same.

Section 2.16 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Subservicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Subservicer shall notify the Servicer in the monthly remittance advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any documents contained in the Collateral File. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.

If the Subservicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (other than as a result of a modification of the Mortgage Loan or a liquidation of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or should the Subservicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Servicer may have under the mortgage instruments, the Subservicer shall, upon discovery of such error, have a period of thirty (30) days from its discovery or its receipt of notice of such error within which to correct or cure said error or such longer period as necessary, if the delay is due solely to a delay by the public recording office provided that Subservicer provides an Officer Certificate certifying such delay is due solely to a delay by the public recording office. Unless such delay is due solely to a delay by the public recording office, if any such error cannot be corrected or cured within such thirty-day period, Subservicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, plus all accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan, on the day preceding the Normal Remittance Date in the month following the date of such release. The Subservicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.30 insuring the Subservicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 2.17 Assumption Processing.

The Subservicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by

contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Subservicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any.

If the Subservicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Subservicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Subservicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Subservicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement shall be entered into pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the person to whom such property has been conveyed is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Subservicer for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Subservicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan nor any other material terms shall be changed without Servicer’s consent.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Subservicer shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan. If the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Subservicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.18 Misapplied Payments and NSF.

Subservicer shall be responsible for administering and correcting any payment misapplications, and any adjustments necessary due to the return of payments for insufficient funds.

Section 2.19 Tax Reporting.

Subservicer shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all reports required by the IRS of a mortgage loan servicer or subservicer for any Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.20 Limited Powers of Attorney and Limited Authorized Signatories.

Servicer agrees to provide Subservicer on the first Servicing Date with limited powers of attorney in the agreed upon form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

Section 2.21 Updated Exhibits and Schedules.

As soon as possible, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the applicable Servicing Date, Subservicer shall have received from Servicer updated versions of each then-relevant exhibit and schedule hereto, certified as being true and correct on behalf of Servicer by an authorized officer thereof, with respect to the subservicing transferred on that date.

Section 2.22 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Subservicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC 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) 100% of the insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) the greater of (a) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, the Subservicer shall notify the Servicer and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 2.23 hereof; provided however, the Subservicer shall maintain a blanket policy covering the Mortgage Loans during such period.

If the related Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Subservicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the Outstanding Principal Balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA Servicer Guide that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Subservicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage, the Subservicer shall force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf within thirty days following the date of the last letter sent by Subservicer to the Mortgagor requesting collection of such insurance premium, but in any event in accordance with Applicable Requirements.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Subservicer shall verify that the coverage required of the homeowner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current FNMA requirements, and secure from the homeowner’s association its agreement to notify the Subservicer promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

In the event that any Servicer or the Subservicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Subservicer shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the required amount of coverage for the Mortgaged Property and if the Mortgagor does not obtain such coverage, the Subservicer shall immediately force place the required coverage on the Mortgagor’s behalf

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Subservicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Subservicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

Pursuant to Section 2.09, any amounts collected by the Subservicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Subservicer’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 2.24) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.09.

Section 2.23 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Subservicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire, flood and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 2.22 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 2.22, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 2.22. The Subservicer shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Subservicer in accordance with the Applicable Requirements. Any amounts collected by the Subservicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.09. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been

maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 2.22, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Subservicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Subservicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefore. Upon request of the Servicer, the Subservicer shall cause to be delivered to the Servicer a certificate of insurance 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 such Servicer.

Section 2.24 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Subservicer need not obtain the approval of the Servicer prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with the Applicable Requirements. For claims greater than $10,000, at a minimum the Subservicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

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

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

(iii) the Subservicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv) pending repairs or restoration, the Subservicer shall place Restricted Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

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

Section 2.25 Maintenance of PMI Policy or LPMI Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with an LTV in excess of [***]% at the time of origination, the Subservicer shall, without any cost to the Servicer, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy insuring a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan as to payment defaults. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to [***]% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Home Owners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. In the event that such PMI


[***]		INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

Policy or an LPMI Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Subservicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Subservicer shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Subservicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Subservicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Servicer and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Subservicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, of any loss which, but for the actions of the Subservicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 2.17, the Subservicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by the insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Subservicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy or LPMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as Subservicer, the Subservicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Servicer, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Servicer, in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Servicer respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 2.07, any amounts collected by the Subservicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.09.

Section 2.26 Servicer to Service Additional Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Servicer shall service and administer all Additional Collateral, it being understood and agreed that only Servicer shall service and administer the related securities accounts with respect to Additional Collateral Agreements.

Section 2.27 Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

The Subservicer acknowledges that from time to time the Servicer may choose to sell and/or assign to various Subsequent Purchasers all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans that are subject to this Agreement, thereby effecting one or more Whole Loan Transfers or Pass-Through Transfers (each a “Reconstitution”) of such Mortgage Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Letter Agreement, the Subservicer acknowledges that the Servicer shall have the right to sell and assign any or all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Servicing Rights), and the Subservicer shall recognize the related Subsequent Purchaser as the owner of such Mortgage Loans.

With respect to each Reconstitution, as the case may be, entered into by the Servicer or any affiliate of the Servicer, the Subservicer agrees:

(i) to cooperate fully with the Servicer and any Subsequent Purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures and with respect to the preparation (including, but not limited to, the endorsement, delivery, assignment, and execution) of the Servicing File and any documents contained in the Collateral File in the possession of Subservicer and other related documents, and with respect to servicing requirements reasonably requested by the rating agencies and credit enhancers; provided, however, that if the information provided by Subservicer to satisfy any such request or to comply with any such procedure is not required by any other Transaction Agreement, or is not contained in a standard report produced by Subservicer’s EDP, any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Subservicer to provide such information shall be paid by Servicer;

(ii) to execute (a) any amendment to this Agreement and (b) any reconstitution agreements, provided that each of the Subservicer and the Servicer is given an opportunity to review and reasonably negotiate in good faith the content of such documents not specifically referenced or provided for herein (the Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for reasonable outside counsel expenses to be approved by Servicer to review such amendment or reconstitution agreement; provided that Servicer pre-approves Subservicer’s use of outside counsel in writing). Subservicer shall, as Servicer may request, either (A) enter into such amendment or reconstitution agreement (collectively “Amendments”), in which case Servicer’s rights and obligations thereunder shall be freely assignable and delegable to the Subsequent Purchaser without any further action or consent by Subservicer, or (B) enter into such Amendment directly with the Subsequent Purchaser; provided that, in the case of (A) or (B), no such Amendment materially increases the existing duties of Subservicer under the Transaction Agreements;

Following receipt of the plan, Subservicer and Servicer shall follow and be subject to the requirements of Section 14.02(a) and (b), including but not limited to the liquidated damages provisions.

(d) In the event that Servicer shall have the right to require Subservicer to solicit bids for an alternative subservicer as provided in (b) above, then Subservicer, upon Servicer’s written demand, shall proceed as follows:

(i) Subservicer shall prepare a request for proposal, at Subservicer’s expense if terminated for cause hereunder, otherwise at Servicer’s expense, (“RFP”) for an alternative subservicer to assume Subservicer’s obligations relating to its obligations hereunder. Subservicer shall submit such RFP to Servicer for review within thirty (30) days of Servicer’s written demand that Subservicer solicit bids for an alternative subservicer. Subservicer shall incorporate Servicer’s reasonably requested revisions to such RFP within ten (10) days of Subservicer’s receipt of Servicer’s requested revisions.

(ii) Subservicer shall submit the final RFP to no less than three (3) residential Mortgage Loan servicers reasonably chosen by Servicer.

(iii) Subservicer shall select the bid requested by Servicer.

(iv) Subservicer shall pay the Servicing Transfer Costs associated with the entity chosen by Servicer as the alternative subservicer to assume Subservicer’s obligations hereunder.

(e) The remedies set forth in this Section 14.02 shall be in furtherance of, and not in limitation of, Servicer’s remedies under this Agreement.

The Servicer, by notice in writing to the Subservicer, may waive any default by the Subservicer 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.

ARTICLE XV

SUCCESSOR TO THE SUBSERVICER

Section 15.01 Successor to the Subservicer.

Upon termination of Subservicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement, the Servicer, or successor Servicer, or successor Subservicer, shall service or subservice the applicable Mortgage Loans under such terms and conditions as such parties may agree.

(a) In the event that the Subservicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated, the Subservicer 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 Subservicer shall not relieve the Subservicer of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made in connection herewith or affect the remedies available to the Servicer hereunder, it being understood and agreed that such provisions shall be applicable to the Subservicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Subservicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Any termination or resignation of the Subservicer or termination of this Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Servicer may have against the Subservicer due to any failure of the Subservicer to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to any such termination or resignation.

(c) The Subservicer, in a timely and reasonable manner, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the effective date of any termination or permitted resignation of the Subservicer or termination of this Agreement, shall deliver to the Servicer, successor Servicer, or successor Subservicer any funds held in connection with the Mortgage Loans. No later than five (5) Business Days after the effective date of any termination or permitted resignation of the Subservicer or termination of this Agreement, Subservicer shall deliver to Servicer, successor servicer or successor subservicer, the mortgage files and related documents and statements and computer files held by it hereunder, and the Subservicer shall account for all funds. The Subservicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the Servicer, or successor Servicer, or successor subservicer all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Subservicer. The Servicer or new subservicer shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Subservicer for amounts the Subservicer actually expended pursuant to this Agreement that the Servicer or successor subservicer is entitled to retain hereunder and that would otherwise have been reimbursable to the Subservicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the termination of the Subservicer. The Subservicer acknowledges and agrees that its right to subservice the Mortgage Loans during the Subservicing Period terminates immediately in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to assist the Servicer, at the Subservicer’s own cost and expense, with the transfer of subservicing as provided in this Agreement if the Subservicer is in default under this Agreement. However, if Subservicer is not in default, and such transfer takes place at the termination of the Subservicing Period, Servicer shall bear the cost and expense of transferring the subservicing to a subsequent subservicer.

ARTICLE XVI

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING

Section 16.01 Compliance.

(a) Subservicer shall at all times undertake and perform the requirements set forth in Servicer’s anti-money laundering policies and procedures set forth in the Operations Guide, as

the same may be amended from time to time (the “BSA Policies and Procedures”). Servicer represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Servicer complies with its anti-money laundering policies and procedures set forth in the Operations Guide, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the representation contained in the immediately preceding sentence is inaccurate as of the date made as to any specific part of the BSA Policies and Procedures (the “Non-Compliant Procedure”), Subservicer shall not be obligated to comply with such Non-Compliant Procedure to the extent that (i) Servicer does not comply with such Non-Compliant Procedure as of the date hereof and (ii) Subservicer is not in compliance with such Non-Compliant Procedure as of the date such inaccuracy is discovered; provided, that upon discovery of the inaccuracy of such representation, Subservicer shall promptly notify Servicer in writing of such inaccuracy and shall indicate in such notice the Non-Compliant Procedure. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Servicer shall notify Subservicer of whether Servicer desires Subservicer to follow such Non-Complying Procedure. If Servicer notifies Subservicer that it desires Subservicer to follow such Non-Compliant Procedure, Subservicer shall have the right to propose an adjustment to the Subservicing Fee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 17.04(d). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 16.01 shall relieve Subservicer’s obligation to subservice the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable law. Subservicer shall comply with the BSA Policies and Procedures and shall take reasonable steps to detect payments that are inconsistent with such policies and procedures. In the event Subservicer retains the services of a third party vendor to process the receipt of funds from Mortgagors (hereafter, a “Lock-Box Vendor”), Subservicer shall first obtain Servicer’s consent to the selection of such Lock-Box Vendor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, Subservicer shall provide the BSA Policies and Procedures to any such Lock-Box Vendor and ensure that such Lock-Box Vendor complies with the same.

(b) Subservicer shall be responsible for assuring compliance by Servicer with Servicer’s obligations under the BSA by identifying and reporting possible money laundering and other illegal activity to the extent set forth in the BSA Policies and Procedures.

(c) Prior to the date this agreement is executed, Subservicer shall have: (i) appointed a suitable officer of Subservicer to be responsible for compliance with the BSA Policies and Procedures; (ii) caused such officer and any other appropriate persons to have participated in one or more training sessions on anti-money laundering and bank secrecy act compliance which sessions will be approved by Servicer ; and (iii) implemented policies, procedures and internal controls to undertake the BSA Policies and Procedures and shall have provided Servicer with photocopies of internal memoranda and other documents of Subservicer setting forth such policies, procedures and internal controls.

(d) Failure of Subservicer to comply with the terms of this Article XVI in all material respects, including without limitation, the failure of Subservicer to take any remedial action called for by Servicer as described in subsection (f) below, shall constitute a Service Deficiency for purposes of Section 14.02.

(e) Subservicer shall indemnify Servicer for any Losses resulting from Subservicer’s failure to comply with the BSA Policies and Procedures.

(f) Servicer, upon reasonable notice, may audit and test Subservicer’s compliance with the provisions of the BSA Policies and Procedures. Any such audit or test may be conducted by Servicer’s internal auditors or other employees or by an outside auditing firm. If Servicer detects weaknesses in or exceptions to Subservicer’s compliance with the BSA Policies and Procedures, Servicer shall notify Subservicer of its findings, and Subservicer shall immediately undertake the remedial action suggested by Servicer and shall report to Servicer on the action taken.

ARTICLE XVII

The obligations set forth in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The parties hereto covenant with each other and agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any such obligation or liability and any Losses incurred by the other in investigating or defending any claim based upon the other party’s actions under this Section.

(d) If, after the date hereof, a material change in any Applicable Requirement shall have had a material, negative economic impact on either Party, then such Party may propose an adjustment to the Subservicing Fee paid to Subservicer pursuant to Article VI. The non-proposing Party agrees to consider such proposal in good faith, provided that the proposing Party

provides, upon the reasonable request of the non-proposing Party, documentation evidencing such negative economic impact.

Section 17.05 Survival.

Section 17.06 Governmental Authorities; Laws and Severability.

The terms and provisions of this Agreement are expressly made subject to applicable federal and state statutes, laws, and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time. Any rule, regulation or administrative policy of any government agency having jurisdiction that relates to the obligation of the Subservicer to subservice the Mortgage Loans hereunder and that is in effect on each applicable Servicing Date shall be deemed to be incorporated herein, and shall supersede the terms of this Agreement, unless such incorporation shall materially impair the contemplated benefits to be received by the parties pursuant to this Agreement, in which event the parties shall renegotiate the terms and conditions hereof to reflect a fair allocation of the economic benefits contemplated hereby. In the event any provision of this Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any of the above, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and this Agreement shall continue as though such superseded provision were not contained in this Agreement.
