Whole Loan Transfer: Any sale or transfer of some or all of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser to a third party, which sale or transfer is not a Pass-Through Transfer.

SECTION 2. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time-to-time, Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance on the related Cut-off Date in an amount as set forth in the related Commitment Letter, or in such other amount as agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser on the related Closing Date.

SECTION 3. Mortgage Loan Schedules. The Seller shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Schedule for a Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date or as otherwise set forth in the related Commitment Letter.

SECTION 4. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Commitment Letter (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by its Stated Principal Balance as of the related Cut-off Date. If so provided in the related Commitment Letter, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately.

The Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive with respect to each Mortgage Loan purchased, (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of the Servicing Fee (minus that portion of any such interest payment that is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application to the reduction of principal of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, for the purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus the applicable Servicing Fee) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser, for remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser on the first related Distribution Date. All payments of principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date following the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.

SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files. In addition to the rights granted to the Initial Purchaser under the related Commitment Letter to underwrite the Mortgage Loans and review the Mortgage Files prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall (a) deliver to the Custodian in escrow, for examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased on such Closing Date, the related Mortgage File, including the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the related Mortgage File available to the Initial Purchaser for examination at the Seller’s offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Initial Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Initial Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or after the related Closing Date. If the Initial Purchaser makes such examination prior to the related Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the terms of the related Commitment Letter or the Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines, such Mortgage Loans may, at the Initial Purchaser’s option, be rejected for purchase by the Initial Purchaser. If not purchased by the Initial Purchaser, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Initial Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of any Mortgage Loan Package without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Initial Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Initial Purchaser’s (or any of its successors’) rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

The Initial Purchaser shall have the opportunity to conduct a corporate due diligence of the Seller, including but not limited to, on site review of the Seller’s facilities and discussions with the Seller’s management. The Initial Purchaser may conduct such review prior to or following the Initial Closing Date. In addition, the Initial Purchaser may perform additional reviews as the Initial Purchaser, in its sole discretion, deems necessary.

SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser.

Subsection 6.01.

Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing Files.

The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver to the Initial Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4. The Servicing File retained by the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date) in such computer files the information required by the MERS System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 6.02.

Books and Records.

Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser, the Custodian or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the assignee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial statements. In the event, for any reason, any transaction contemplated herein is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, the related Commitment Letter and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

Subsection 6.03. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Seller shall from time to time in connection with each Closing Date, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing Date, deliver and release to the Custodian those Mortgage Loan Documents as required by this Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased and sold on the related Closing Date and set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule delivered with such Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement for the related Closing Date, as evidenced by the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification of the Custodian in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible for maintaining the Custodial Agreement during the Preliminary Servicing Period. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Purchaser and the Seller as set forth in the related Commitment Letter.

The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within ninety days of its submission for recordation.

Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within sixty (60) days (or with respect to a breach of Section 7.02(lxx), within ten (10) days) of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the related cure period. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided that such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after notice to the Seller of such breach. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the repurchase date to an account designated by the Initial Purchaser or (ii) as otherwise set forth in the related Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.02(li), (lvii), (lx), (lxi), (lxii) or (lxxii) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (i) the amount of such shortfall and (ii) the purchase price percentage used to calculate the Purchase Price, as stated in the related Commitment Letter and (y) accrued interest on the amount of such shortfall to the last day of the month such substitution occurs, shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller, as applicable, will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to such amount.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. The indemnification obligation of the Seller set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. The Seller.

Subsection 13.01. Additional Indemnification by the Seller.

In addition to the indemnification provided in Subsection 7.03, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold the Purchaser harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement including but not limited to its obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 12. The indemnification obligation of the Seller set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 13.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

The Seller shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity 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 enable the Seller to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller 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 whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, shall be a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer and shall satisfy any requirements of Section 16 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the Seller.

Subsection 13.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its obligation to sell or duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its incurring any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which they may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser shall be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to the Seller’s indemnification under Subsections 7.03 or 13.01.

Subsection 13.04. Seller Not to Resign.

The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller in which event the Seller may resign as servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller as servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser and which shall be provided at the cost of the Seller. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 16.

Subsection 13.05. No Transfer of Servicing.

The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller’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 Seller 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 Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 14. DEFAULT.

Subsection 14.01. Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Seller shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; 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, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

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

(v) the Seller 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 or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(x) S&P, Xxxxx’x or any other rating agency lowers Seller’s servicing rating anytime after the date of this Agreement to a below average rating or its equivalent; or

(xi) the Delinquency Ratio exceeds 3.0% as of any date of determination.

If any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination or resignation (as described in Section 13.04) of the Seller hereunder, either (i) the successor Seller shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the Seller shall cooperate with the successor company either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS System to the successor company or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS System the successor company as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.

Subsection 14.02. Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller 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.

SECTION 15. Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, as servicer, shall terminate upon the distribution to the Purchaser of the final payment or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or advances of same by the Seller) or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder unless terminated with respect to all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans on an earlier date at the option of the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 15 or pursuant to Section 14. The Purchaser may terminate the Seller as servicer pursuant to this Section 15 without cause, if the Purchaser pays to the Seller a termination fee based on the fair market value of the related servicing rights as mutually agreed to between the Seller and the Purchaser. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the related Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The indemnification obligation of the Seller set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. Successor to the Seller. Prior to termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12, 14 or 15, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the reasonable compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Seller 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 the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 16 and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and the Seller shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the Seller’s acts as servicer. Any termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to Section 12, 14 or 15 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies with respect to such claims.

The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the related Custodial Account and the related Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller 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 successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller as servicer. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

SECTION 17. Financial Statements. The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers the Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information on its servicing performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 18. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the related Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Commitment Letter, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Initial Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Initial Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Initial Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the related Commitment Letter, and (ii) obligation to pay the related Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 19. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as follows:

(i) if to the Purchaser:

DB Structured Products, Inc.
00 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Attn: Xxxxxxx Xxxxx

(ii) if to the Seller:

Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc.
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxx

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 20. Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 22. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law provisions and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by Federal law.

SECTION 23. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such review. In the event, for any reason, any transaction contemplated herein is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, the related Commitment Letter and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing and to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred. Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans. In the event that this Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the rights and benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall inure to the benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and the Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has been transferred; provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04 shall be retained solely by the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 25. Commitment Letter. The terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter with respect to each Closing Date shall be incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the related Commitment Letter, the Commitment Letter shall control.

SECTION 26. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 27. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

SECTION 28. Nonsolicitation. The Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan following the date hereof or provide information to any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan; provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude the Seller from engaging in solicitations to the general public by newspaper, radio, television or other media which are not directed toward the Mortgagors or from refinancing the Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without solicitation, contacts the Seller to request the refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 29. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;

SECTION 31. Further Agreements. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 33. Entire Agreement. The Purchaser and the Seller entered into the Original Agreement. Seller and Purchaser desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety. This agreement shall supersede the Original Agreement and all other agreements between the Seller and Purchaser.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SELLER

DB Structured Products, Inc.

Xxx Xxxx 00000

Re: Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [________], between GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. and DB Structured Products, Inc. (the “Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain matters described in the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter, dated _______, 20__, between the Company and DB Structured Products, Inc. (the “Commitment Letter”)]. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified as being true copies of the following:

A. The Agreement [and the Commitment Letter];

B. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation

C. The Company’s By-Laws; and

D. Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company.

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter].

The Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] ha[s][ve] been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

The Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] constitute[s] [a] valid, legal and binding obligation[s] of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with [its] [their respective] terms.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of any United States federal or California government authority on the part of the Company is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter], except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] will not, as of the Closing Date, result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, or, to the best of my knowledge, result in a violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any California or United States federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) any order of any State of California or United States federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, except in any such case where the violation or default would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter].

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my judgment, would draw into question the validity of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter].

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. I have assumed that all parties to the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] other than the Company have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter], and that the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] ha[s][ve] been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, ha[s][ve] been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute[s] the legal, valid and binding obligation[s] of such parties.

B. My opinion expressed in paragraph 3 above is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

C. I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Company and any other party, which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter] or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of California, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving or governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America. I also express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the Agreement [and the Commitment Letter].

This opinion letter has been prepared and should be understood in accordance with the Legal Opinion Principles, 53 Bus. Law. 831 (1998), and Guidelines for the Preparation of Closing Opinions, 57 Bus. Law. 345 (2001), of the Committee on Legal Opinions, ABA Section of Business Law.

Very truly yours,

SERVICING ADDENDUM

Subsection 11.01 Seller to Act as Servicer.

The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans that the Seller sells to the Purchaser hereunder in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the FNMA and FHLMC servicing guides and this Agreement during the Preliminary Servicing Period 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 Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make additional advances of additional principal or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. If reasonably required by the Seller, the Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the Seller may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Seller determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge, or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. If the Seller waives or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Seller, other than as provided above, the Seller shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Seller.

Subsection 11.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Seller shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans held for its own account. Further, the Seller shall take special 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.

Subsection 11.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Subsection 11.01. The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Seller shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or more, the Seller shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Seller’s intention to do so, and the Seller shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. In such connection, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Seller has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property the Seller shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action, with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Purchaser would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Seller has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Subsection 11.03 shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(v).

If the Seller determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Seller shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(v).

(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Seller for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Subsections 11.05(ii) and (v); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Seller as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii).

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

The Seller 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, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.

The Seller shall deposit in the related Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including all Prepayment Charges;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Subsections 11.10 and 11.11, 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 the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Subsections 7.03 and 7.04 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 7.03;

(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy. Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

(viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Subsection 11.13;

(ix) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.19 or 11.20;

(x) all Monthly Advances; and

(xi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with such Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Interest Rate, provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of deposits made by the Seller pursuant to this clause (xi) exceed the aggregate amount of the Seller’s servicing compensation in the calendar month in which such deposits are required.

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 Subsection 11.21, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the related Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii). The Seller shall give notice to the Purchaser of the location of the Custodial Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Seller shall, on or before twelve o’clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the related Custodial Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Subsection 11.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the related Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Subsection 11.14;

(ii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Seller’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 Seller from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(iii) to pay to itself pursuant to Subsection 11.21 as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Distribution Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Subsection 7.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;

(v) to pay, or to reimburse the Seller for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 11.03(b), but only to the extent of amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to which such expense is attributable;

(vi) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (vi) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) respecting which any such advance was made it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(vii) to reimburse the Seller for any Monthly Advance previously made which the Seller has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance; and

(viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account on the termination of this Agreement.

The Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) - (vii) above. The Seller shall provide written notification in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.

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

The Seller 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, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by an Escrow Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.

The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, 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 Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Subsection 11.08. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Subsection 11.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the related Escrow Account may be made by the Seller (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller 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 related Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Seller, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.08

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

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller 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 Insurance Policy and LPMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance 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 related Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller 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 Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which FNMA no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy for such cancelled or non- renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 11.19, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI 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 Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the related Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05.

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Seller may transfer the related Custodial Account or the related Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Seller 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 at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, the Seller 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 lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Seller also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller 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 Seller’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the related Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. Any cost incurred by the Seller in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Seller of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller, or upon request to the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of A:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Subsection 11.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring against hazard losses on all Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Subsection 11.10, the Seller shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Subsection 11.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Subsection 11.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the related Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser 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 thirty days prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to 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 Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Seller 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 Subsection 11.12 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Seller’s and Servicers’ Guide. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and 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 Purchaser.

Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the 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 person designated by the Purchaser, or in the event such person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Seller from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Seller 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 annually thereafter. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is necessary to sell any REO property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate servicing agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of within three years or such other period as may be permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property in the Custodial Account and maintain a separate accounting with respect to such REO Property.

The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Subsection 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such Custodial Account.

The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Seller as provided above, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding Distribution Date in accordance with Subsection 11.14.

Subsection 11.14 Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser (A) (i) all amounts credited to the related Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the related Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05., plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Subsection 11.30; minus (B) (x) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the last day of the Calendar month immediately preceding the related Distribution Date and (y) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date.

All distributions made to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date will be made to the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned and held by the Purchaser, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Purchaser at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Purchaser shall have so notified the Seller or by check mailed to the address of the Purchaser.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser on or after the first Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such first Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver by the Purchaser of any Event of Default by the Seller.

Subsection 11.15 Remittance Reports.

No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee an electronic and a hard copy of the monthly data in the form of report attached hereto as Exhibit 11. On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree from time to time) an electronic and a hard copy of the determination data with respect to the related Distribution Date, together with such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser may reasonably require to allocate distributions made pursuant to this Agreement and provide appropriate statements with respect to such distributions. On the same date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser by overnight mail a computer readable disk containing the information set forth in the remittance report with respect to the related Distribution Date.

Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Purchaser.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee a statement prepared by the Seller setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account of each category of deposit specified in Subsection 11.04 and each category of withdrawal specified in Subsection 11.05.

In addition, not more than sixty days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was the Purchaser at any time during such calendar year, (i) as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year, an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law, and (ii) listing of the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans outstanding at the end of such calendar year.

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

Subsection 11.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.13, with respect to any REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement covering the Seller’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month, together with the operating statement. Such statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Subsection 11.18 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Subsection 11.19 Assumption Agreements.

The Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the 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 applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.19, the Seller, with the prior written consent of the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, 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 Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Subsection or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller 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 Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Subsection 11.19, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Subsection 11.20 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a servicing officer of the Seller (a “Servicing Officer”), which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser, shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process 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 or the Purchaser.

In the event the Seller 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 Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the fidelity bond insuring the Seller against any loss they 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 of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller 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 the Mortgage File or such document has 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 Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Seller.

Subsection 11.21 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller 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 Seller’s Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Subsection 11.19, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller 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.

Subsection 11.22 Notification of Adjustments.

On each Adjustment Date, the Seller shall make interest rate adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Seller shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note regarding interest rate adjustments. The Seller also shall provide timely notification to the Purchaser of all applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Seller’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Seller shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Subsection 11.23 Statement as to Compliance.

(a)

The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than February 28^th of each year, an Officers’ Certificate (each, an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

For so long as the Mortgage Loans are being master serviced by a master servicer in a securitization transaction (the “Master Servicer”), by February 28th of each year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Seller shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer for the benefit of such Master Servicer and its officers, directors and affiliates, certifying as to the following matters:

(i)

Based on my knowledge, the information in the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 11.24 of the Servicing Addendum (the “Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report”) and all servicing reports, officer’s certificates and other information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted to the Master Servicer and included on (directly or indirectly), or relied on in connection with, any Form 8-K or any annual report on Form 10-K prepared and filed with the SEC in connection with such Mortgage Loans, taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the date of this certification;

(ii)

The servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Seller under this Agreement has been provided to the Master Servicer;

(iii)

I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Seller under the Agreement and based upon the review required by this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the Annual Statement of Compliance or the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report submitted to the Master Servicer, the Seller has, as of the date of this certification fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv)

I have disclosed to the Master Servicer all significant deficiencies relating to the Seller’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards in accordance with a review conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar standard as set forth in the Agreement.

(c)

The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer 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 Seller or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 11.23 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this Section 11.23 or the Seller’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Subsection 11.24 Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than March 15^th of each year, the Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may also render other services to the Seller) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser or its designee to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements (including the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement) substantially similar one to another (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm confirms that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 11.25 Access to Certain Documentation.

The Seller shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Purchaser access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Seller required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Seller. In addition, access to the documentation will be provided to the Purchaser and any Person identified to the Seller by the Purchaser without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Seller.

Subsection 11.26 Reports and Returns to be Filed by the Seller.

The Seller shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Subsection 11.27 Servicing Transfer.

In the event the Seller is terminated or voluntarily terminates as servicer hereunder, the Initial Purchaser, or its designee, shall assume all servicing responsibilities related to the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cease all servicing responsibilities related to the Mortgage Loans. During the servicing period, the Seller shall, at its 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 Initial Purchaser, or its designee. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as the Initial Purchaser, or its designee may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the servicing transfer.

Subsection 11.28 Superior Liens.

With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, for the protection of the Purchaser’s interest, file (or cause to be filed) of record a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption. The Seller shall also notify any superior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Mortgage Loan and request notification of any action (as described below) to be taken against the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property by the superior lienholder.

If the Seller is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the superior lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the superior mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Seller shall take whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to any requirements applicable to real estate mortgage investment conduits pursuant to the Code. The Seller shall make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien if the Seller determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Seller shall not make such a Servicing Advance except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such advance will be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the related Cut-off Date, then the Seller, in its capacity as servicer, may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:

the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; and

the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization.

Subsection 11.29 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 Seller 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 “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Seller 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.

Subsection 11.30 Monthly Advances by the Seller.

(a) Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 11.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, at the Net Mortgage Interest Rate net of any related LPMI Policy premium (if applicable), which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

(b) The obligation of the Seller to make such Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided, however, that to the extent there are funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that are not otherwise required to be distributed to the Purchaser on such Distribution Date, the Seller may remit such funds in lieu of making advances of its own funds; provided, further, the Seller shall deposit any such funds in the Custodial Account on the Business Day prior to the date such funds are required to be distributed to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Seller if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance. The determination by the Seller that it has made a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.
