SERVICING

Section 2.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans in each Mortgage Loan Package, from and after the date set forth in the applicable Commitment Letter, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under the Servicer’s name on a scheduled/scheduled basis, and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall acknowledge by email to the Owner its receipt of each Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Servicer’s assumption of the servicing responsibilities with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package; provided, that each Mortgaged Loan Package will become subject to this Agreement only upon the execution and delivery of the Commitment Letter by both the Owner and the Servicer.

The Servicer shall provide the Owner with a description of its modification plan types. The Servicer shall not enter into any modification plan which is not a modification plan type approved by the Owner.

Unless provided herein, Owner shall delegate authority to the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administration duties without obtaining Owner’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (except for (A) a reduction of interest payments resulting from the application of the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act or any similar state laws, or (B) as provided in the following paragraph, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) except as provided in the following paragraph, waive any Prepayment Penalty.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 3.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, provided that the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Penalty), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”); provided, however, that the terms of any Mortgage Loan may only be waived, modified, varied or forgiven once without the consent of the Owner while the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of this section shall be reflected in writing in the Servicing File. The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with a fully executed Power of Attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Servicer may request the consent of Owner in writing by certified mail, overnight courier or such other means as may be agreed to by the parties to a course of action that Servicer proposes to take under this Agreement. Unless Owner shall give written notice to Servicer that it objects to any recommended course of action within ten (10) Business Days immediately following the day on which Owner received Servicer’s written consent request (together with its recommended course of action and relevant supporting documentation), Owner shall be deemed to have consented to such recommended course of action, and Servicer may take the action recommended to Owner, unless Servicer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such action is no longer prudent or applicable and the Servicer notifies the Owner of such decision not to act. In the event that Owner shall object to Servicer’s recommended course of action, Servicer shall take such action as is required by Owner, and Servicer shall have no liability therefor if it is not negligent in performing such action. Further, to the extent Servicer has provided Owner with reasonably timely notice, Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Servicer from and against any penalty, fine or damages that may result from Owner’s decision to wait for any period of time up to ten (10) Business Days before providing Servicer with direction as to the course of action to be taken as permitted in the second immediately preceding sentence. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may also waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Penalty if such Prepayment Penalty is (i) not permitted to be collected by applicable law, or (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment. If a Prepayment Penalty is waived other than as permitted above, then the Servicer is required to deposit the amount of such waived Prepayment Penalty into the Custodial Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial Account; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Penalty if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer 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, where such procedures do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall retain adequate personnel to effect such servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

The Owner may sell and transfer, in whole or in part, some or all of the Mortgage Loans at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, in connection with a Securitization Transfer). Upon any such sale, the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement; provided, that the Servicer shall not be obligated to recognize the transferee of such Mortgage Loans as the assignee of the rights of the Owner hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans unless such transferee executes and delivers such Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement. Upon such execution, the Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such transferee. Upon such assignment of rights and assumption of obligations, the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Owner with respect to the transferred Mortgage Loans, except as otherwise set forth in the Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement, and the Owner shall be released from its obligations hereunder accruing on and after the date of such transfer, but shall remain liable for any obligations hereunder accruing prior to the date of such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be more than three Owners of the Mortgage Loans with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan Package inclusive of the Mortgage Loans included in a Securitization Transfer.

The Servicer shall notify MERS of the ownership interest of Owner in each MOM Loan through the MORNET system or MIDANET system, as applicable, or any other comparable system acceptable to MERS. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Owner may direct Servicer to cause any MOM Loan to be deactivated from the MERS System.

The Servicing File maintained by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately marked and identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Owner. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File maintained by it only in accordance with this Agreement.

The Servicer shall be responsible for the actions of any vendors which the Servicer utilizes to carry out its obligations hereunder and any fees paid to such vendors shall be paid by the Servicer from its own funds.

Section 2.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as the Servicer shall determine reasonably to be in the best interest of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period (or such other period as is required by law in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located) or earlier as determined by the Servicer, the Servicer shall cause a Foreclosure Commencement in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Owner which details the reasons for such determination.

The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that it shall take and initiate any legal actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, including, without limitation, any foreclosure actions, acceptance of deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, and any collection actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans or REO Properties on behalf of the Owner, but only in the name of the Servicer or its nominee and without reference to the Owner. Except as otherwise required by law or with the consent of the Owner, under no circumstances shall any such action be taken in the name of, or with any reference to, the Owner. The Servicer shall provide prior written notice to the Owner if the Servicer is required by applicable law to take any legal actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan or REO Properties in the name of, or with reference to, the Owner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all actions must be approved by the Owner relating to any Mortgaged Property that is determined to be contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes.

With respect to any HOEPA Loan which is in default, but prior to the commencement of any loss mitigation procedures or foreclosure proceedings if a Loan is known to be a HOEPA Loan at time of commencement of such proceedings, the Servicer shall (A) review the related Mortgage File to determine whether or not the Mortgage File contains the disclosure documents required by HOEPA, whether or not such documents were executed by the related Mortgagor(s), and whether or not such documents were executed three or more days in advance of closing and (B) inform the Owner if such timely and executed disclosure documents are not in the Mortgage File.

Further, prior to the commencement of any loss mitigation procedures with respect to a HOEPA Loan, the Servicer shall notify those servicing personnel involved in loss mitigation related to the Mortgage Loan as to whether or not any such disclosure documentation is defective or missing.

In addition, once the Servicer determines to commence a foreclosure proceeding with respect to a HOEPA Loan, but prior to such commencement, the Servicer and its outside counsel shall review the Mortgage File to determine whether or not the requirements of HOEPA shall have been satisfied in connection with the origination, underwriting, servicing and sale of such HOEPA Loan, including whether or not required and accurate disclosures were made to and acknowledged by the related Mortgagor(s). Finally, the Servicer shall notify the Owner within 3 Business Days of receipt of notice by the Servicer’s proper servicing department if at any time the Mortgagor asserts a claim or defense based on HOEPA, whether in a written notice, as a defense to a foreclosure proceeding, or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector the Servicer shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be so inspected. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Owner directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof. In the event the Owner directs the Servicer not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof.

Section 2.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

The Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments, to the extent applicable, and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, PMI Policy or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if in its reasonable judgment it believes that it will be unable to enforce the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which payment is required.

Section 2.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Countywide Home Loans Servicing LP, in trust for [Name of Owner]”. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Owner as a Special Deposit Account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted by the FDIC and as otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies and any amounts therein may be invested in Eligible Investments. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner and, upon request, to any subsequent Owner.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account on or prior to the second Business Day following receipt thereof, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;

(ix) any Prepayment Penalties received with respect to any Mortgage Loan; and

(x) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise provided herein, payments in the nature of Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer may retain any such interest.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a Securitization Transfer, the Servicer shall establish a separate custodial account for the related securitization and deposit all amounts that have been or are subsequently received with respect to such Mortgage Loan into the custodial account created for the securitization on the date of the Securitization Transfer, or as soon as possible thereafter (but not to exceed 48 hours after such date).

Section 2.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided Section 3.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Servicer’s funds made pursuant to Section 3.04, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan (including without limitation, late recoveries of payments from the Mortgagor, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the extent collected) which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made; it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Owner;

The Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository as a Special Deposit Account, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance by the FDIC and as otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies. Funds deposited in the Escrow Accounts may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 2.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Owner and, upon request, to any subsequent Owner.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on or prior to the second Business Day following receipt thereof, and retain therein:

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

(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2.07. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall be responsible to pay from its own funds interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 2.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

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

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

(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable federal or state law or judicial or administrative ruling;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2.14;

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

(vii) to reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Escrow Account in error; and

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

Section 2.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments within the time period required to avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure from a tax or other lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer reasonably determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance. If Servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance with respect to any payment prior to the date on which any late payment penalties or costs related to protecting the lien accrue, the Servicer shall pay any such penalties or costs within the time period required to avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure from a tax or other lien; provided, however, that if the Servicer reasonably determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance.

Section 2.09 Protection of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon notice to the Owner, which notice shall be provided prior to such transfer unless such transfer is due to an emergency.

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

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or Escrow Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than one day prior to the Remittance Date in each month; provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on the related Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. If, at any time, the amount on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceeds the amount of the applicable FDIC insurance, such excess above the amount of the applicable FDIC insurance shall be invested in Eligible Investments.

Section 2.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are required to be insured pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is, and shall continue to be, covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable under the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (regardless of whether the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program), or (iii) the full replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property. If a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

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

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

In the event that the Owner or the Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Servicer shall in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides make commercially reasonable efforts to communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer and its successors and assigns as a mortgagee and loss payee and shall be endorsed with non contributory standard or New York mortgagee clauses which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts as required pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date; provided, however, that in the event that no such notice is furnished by the Servicer, the Servicer shall ensure that replacement insurance policies are in place in the required coverages and the Servicer shall be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.

Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 2.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.

Section 2.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 2.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 2.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 2.10. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 2.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 2.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 2.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Mortgage-Backed Securities Selling and Servicing Guide. Upon the request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

Section 2.13 Inspections.

The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as is deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 90 days delinquent, the Servicer shall promptly inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided further that if the Servicer determines that any Mortgaged Property is vacant, the Servicer shall promptly inspect to the Mortgaged Property and should conduct subsequent inspections every 30 days. The Servicer shall document on its servicing system each such inspection. The costs of such inspections shall be treated as Servicing Advances for which the Servicer shall be entitled to full reimbursement for in accordance with Section 2.05(iii).

Section 2.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Owner prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.15 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Owner and without reference to the Owner except as otherwise required by law. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Owner.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. In consideration therefor, the Owner shall pay the Servicer the REO Management Fee per month as set forth in the applicable Commitment Letter. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall provide the Owner on a monthly basis a report on the status of each REO Property.

In consideration therefor, the Owner shall pay the Servicer the REO Management Fee per month as set forth in the applicable Commitment Letter.

The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable 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 Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Owner to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required in Section 2.10 hereof.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement but not later than the second Business Day following receipt thereof. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees made pursuant to this Section.

With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property in the Custodial Account.

Section 2.16 Permitted Withdrawals with Respect to REO Property.

The Servicer shall withdraw funds on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to each related REO Property necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 2.10 and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer. The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Owner of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in Section 2.15 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 2.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 2.19, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on or before the 5th Business Day of each month a report with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information available to the Servicer as the Owner shall reasonably request.

Section 2.21 Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

Except in connection with Accepted Servicing Practices for defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall not be responsible for the preparation or recording of the Assignments of Mortgage relating to the Mortgage Loans to the Owner, the securitization trustee or any other party; provided, however, that in the event the Servicer agrees to record any mortgage assignment, any expense, including the fees of third party service providers, incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and recordation of Assignments of Mortgage shall be reimbursable by the Owner, or if not reimbursed by the Owner, as a Servicing Advance. The Servicer shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the Owner, against any losses, costs, penalties and damages incurred as a result of incorrect or incomplete, or untimely submission of, Assignments of Mortgage and applicable recording information.

Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

Section 3.02 Monthly Reports to Owner.

Not later than each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner standard monthly reports as set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto in electronic medium mutually acceptable to the parties as of the related Determination Date.

For all purposes of this Agreement, delinquency status shall be determined in accordance with standard ABS or RMBS methodology, as is appropriate, as determined by the Owner for the applicable Mortgage Loan type.

In addition, on or before March 15th of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was a Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time are in force.

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

On the 5th Business Day of each month (the “Data Dictionary Delivery Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner by FTP an electronic data file incorporating the fields set forth in the on Exhibit 9 hereto (the “Data Dictionary”).

Section 3.04 Principal and Interest Advances by Servicer.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent on the Business Day immediately preceding such Remittance Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Owner required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer shall not be obligated to make Monthly Advances which the Servicer determines to be Nonrecoverable Advances. The Servicer shall not be obligated to advance shortfalls of interest resulting from the application of the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act or any similar state laws.

Section 3.05 Charge off and Advance Analysis.

Once a month, the Servicer will analyze, utilizing its internal proprietary models, all first lien Mortgage Loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent (excluding those on a forbearance plan or court approved bankruptcy payment plan) to determine if any such Mortgage Loans should be charged off or if future Servicing Advances should be deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances based on the projections of such proprietary models (the “Nonrecoverability Analysis”). The Servicer will charge off Mortgage Loans and will not make Servicer Advances that are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances based on such Nonrecoverability Analysis; provided, however, that with respect to Mortgage Loans included in a Reconstitution, such actions are permitted under the related Reconstitution Agreement.

Upon reasonable prior request and without limitation on Sections 4.07 and 5.02 hereof), the Owner may during normal business hours review the Servicer’s policies and procedures related to the Nonrecoverability Analysis and may no more than twice a year perform an audit to determine whether the Servicer is taking actions consistent with the Nonrecoverability Analysis. The Servicer agrees to make such reasonable changes to the Nonrecoverability Analysis as requested by the Owner; provided, however, that with respect to Mortgage Loans included in a Reconstitution, such changes are permitted under the related Reconstitution Agreement.

The Servicer shall retain the Nonrecoverability Analysis for a period of one year from the date such analysis was undertaken and shall make such analysis available upon request to the Owner during such period.

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 4.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer shall be required to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guarantee insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, such fee will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices and the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states where the Mortgage Properties are located including but not limited to Servicer conducting a review of the credit and financial capacity of the individual receiving the property, and may approve the assumption if it believes the recipient is capable of assuming the mortgage obligations. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not satisfy the relevant underwriting criteria and the transfer of ownership actually occurs, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Owner in accordance with this Section 4.02 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain discharge of the related Mortgage Loan as of record within any related time limit required by applicable law.

In connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance, the Servicer shall be entitled to a reconveyance fee. Such reconveyance fee shall only be reimbursable to Servicer by Owner to the extent the reconveyance fee is uncollectible from the Mortgagor based on the terms of the security instrument or in the Servicer’s reasonable opinion that such fee is not allowable by statute.

Servicer shall have no liability for third party delays (unless such third party is an affiliate of the Servicer) that may result in assessed penalties.

(b) The Owner agrees to indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from any liability, claim, loss or damage (including without limitation, any reasonable legal fees, judgments or expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) to the Servicer (a) directly or indirectly resulting from the Owner’s failure to observe and perform any or all of the Owner’s duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement or (b) directly resulting from the Servicer taking any legal actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties in the name of the Servicer and without reference to the Owner, or (c) any act or omission on the part of the Owner, any prior servicer or any other third party which occurred in connection with the prior servicing of a Mortgage Loan, but, in each case, only to the extent such loss does not result from the failure of the Servicer (i) to observe and perform any or all of Servicer’s duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement pursuant to which the Servicer services or has serviced any such Mortgage Loan; or (ii) to comply with all applicable requirements with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans as set forth herein or in any other agreement pursuant to which the Servicer services or has serviced any such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may at any time upon notice to the Owner, or trustee in the case of a Reconstitution, and without the consent of any party, solely in connection with a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), assign as collateral security or pledge to another Person all its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to its rights to reimbursement of Servicing Advances.

The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of the state of its filing except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation (including by means of the sale of all or substantially all of the Servicer’s assets to such Person) to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not, without the prior written approval of the Owner, be a party to any such merger, conversion or consolidation, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its business or assets if, (i) as a result of such merger, conversion or consolidation, sale or other disposition, an Event of Default under Section 11.01 hereof would exist with respect to such successor Servicer or (ii) such successor has (a) a residential primary servicer rating for servicing of mortgage loans issued by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., Fitch, Inc. or Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. below “average” or its equivalent or (b) a net worth of less than $25,000,000.

The Servicer shall give 90 days’ prior written notice to the Owner to the extent permitted by applicable law of any such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or other disposition to which the Servicer proposes to be a party.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Investor has requested that it be furnished with certain Confidential Information (as defined below) relating to certain mortgage related securities issued or serviced, or to be issued or serviced, by Countrywide, as described on Schedule A hereto (the “Securities”), and the mortgage loans in which the Securities represent an ownership interest (the “Mortgage Loans”);

WHEREAS, the Investor is an affiliate of an owner or a beneficial owner of one or more of the classes of the Securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Subject Securities”) or a prospective purchaser thereof;

WHEREAS, Countrywide is willing to provide the Confidential Information to the Investor subject to the Investor executing and delivering this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to facilitate the disclosure of information by Countrywide to the Investor without Countrywide’s having an obligation to disclose the same information publicly under Regulation FD of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, 17 CFR §243.100-103.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of being granted the right to receive and review the Confidential Information, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and upon the promises and mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all written, oral or electronic information or material related to the Securities or the Mortgage Loans as set forth on Exhibit 10 to the Flow Servicing Agreement between Countrywide and the Investor, or similar information related to the Securities or the Mortgage Loans, which is furnished by Countrywide to the Investor. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to and known by the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Investor or its Representatives or Advisors (as defined below) in violation of this Agreement (or in the case of Advisors, violation of their Agreement); (ii) was available to the Investor prior to its disclosure to the Investor by or at the direction of Countrywide; (iii) becomes available to the Investor from a source other than Countrywide, provided that the Investor has no knowledge that such source is prohibited from disclosing such information to the Investor by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to Countrywide or any affiliate of Countrywide; or (iv) is independently developed by the Investor without reliance on the Confidential Information.

2. Nondisclosure of Information. (a) As a condition to the Investor being furnished with the Confidential Information, the Investor agrees to treat the Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and agrees to take or abstain from taking certain actions with respect thereto as set forth herein. The Investor agrees not to use any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purpose of evaluating the Investor’s or its affiliate’s investment in, and the value of, the Subject Securities and the underlying Mortgage Loans (including evaluating compliance with the terms of the related pooling and servicing agreement). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Investor agrees that the Confidential Information will be kept confidential by the Investor and its affiliates, directors, officers and employees who have access to, obtain, or receive the Confidential Information either directly or indirectly from the Investor under this Agreement (collectively, its “Representatives”).

(b) The Investor may disclose the Confidential Information to its Representatives and its affiliates’ Representatives and agents, partners and representatives, including without limitation any accountants, attorneys, and financial advisors (collectively “Advisors”) who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the Investor’s or its affiliate’s investment in, and valuing, the Subject Securities and the underlying Mortgage Loans, provided that any such Representatives are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and any such Advisors (with the exception of counsel who have professional obligations of confidentiality and who the Investor will direct to maintain the confidentiality of the information) first execute a substantially similar form of confidentiality agreement as this Agreement with Investor with respect to the Confidential Information, which agreement shall name Countrywide as a third party beneficiary thereto. The Investor agrees that, except as permitted herein it will not, and will direct its Representatives not to, disclose to any person any Confidential Information. The Investor will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its affiliates’ and its Representatives. In addition, the Investor may disclose the Confidential Information to a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans or the Securities (in the case of Securities in particular as may be necessary to comply with securities laws, including without limitation, Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, or any similar successor rule or regulation), provided that such prospective purchaser shall have executed a similar form confidentiality agreement as this Agreement with Investor with respect to the Confidential Information.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Investor and Countrywide agree that they (and their employees, representatives, and other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind from the commencement of discussions, the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it in relation to the tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to facts relevant to the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment of the transaction and does not include information relating to the identity of the parties, their affiliates, agents or advisors.

3. Compelled Disclosure. If the Investor or any of its Representatives are requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information as a matter of law, regulation, legal process or by regulatory authority, the Investor will promptly notify Countrywide (so long as legally permitted to provide such notification) in order to permit Countrywide to seek a protective order to take other appropriate action. The Investor also will reasonably cooperate in Countrywide’s efforts, at Countrywide’s expense, to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Investor or any of its Representatives is so compelled to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information, the Investor may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information that is so required, based on consultation and advice of its counsel, to be disclosed.

4. Purchase of Securities; Disclosure Related to Resale of Securities. The Investor hereby acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information under this Agreement and that it is aware and understands that United States securities laws prohibit any person with material, non-public information about an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other person. The Investor further agrees to use any Confidential Information in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

5. Debtor Contact. The Investor agrees not to knowingly, as a result of knowledge obtained from the Confidential Information, communicate (except for the communications made in the ordinary course of business unrelated to the subject matter hereof) with any borrower, debtor, guarantor, appraiser under any Mortgage Loan or any such borrower’s, debtor’s or guarantor’s accountant or attorney, or any other person or party having an interest in any of the Mortgage Loans, including any tenant, managing or leasing agent, whose name is obtained from the Confidential Information, in each case with respect to its investment in the Subject Securities and/or the underlying Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of Countrywide, which consent can be arbitrarily withheld; provided, however, to the extent the Investor or any of its affiliates is servicing such Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall be deemed to have given consent to any such communication subject to the terms and conditions contained in any agreement (to which Investor or any of its affiliates, as applicable, is a party) governing the terms of such servicing.

6. Not an Offer to Buy or Sell Securities. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information does not constitute an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any security or instrument or to participate in any trading strategy.

7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Investor and Countrywide relating to the treatment of the Confidential Information hereupon or hereafter reviewed or inspected by the Investor. This Agreement supersedes all other agreements relating to the Confidential Information that have previously been executed by the Investor in favor of Countrywide.

8. General Provisions. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, Countrywide might be irreparably harmed and unable to be made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that Countrywide, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or equity, will be entitled to seek an injunction to remedy breaches of this Agreement and/or to compel specific performance of this Agreement. This Agreement (a) may not be assigned by Countrywide or the Investor without the prior written consent of the other party; (b) cannot be amended, nor can any of its provisions be waived, except by a writing signed by Countrywide and the Investor; and (c) will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns. The Investor consents to personal jurisdiction in any action brought in any federal or state court within the State of New York located in the County of New York having subject matter jurisdiction in the matter for purposes of any action arising out of this Agreement. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

9. Purpose of Review. The Investor represents and warrants that it is reviewing the Confidential Information in connection with evaluating the Investor’s or an affiliate’s investment in, and the value of, the Subject Securities and the underlying Mortgage Loans (including evaluating compliance with the terms of the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided, however, this shall not prohibit the Investor’s future purchase of any other instrument or security.

10. Indemnification. The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Countrywide, its officers, directors and each person, if any, who controls Countrywide within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments, claims, damages, expenses, and any related costs (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) and liabilities incurred by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party related to, based upon or arising out of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Investor or any of its Representatives. The parties hereto agree that neither party will claim punitive, consequential, indirect or special damages against the other party under this Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by the Investor under the immediately previous paragraph of notice of the commencement of any action, Countrywide shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Investor under such subsection, notify the Investor in writing of the commencement thereof. In case any such action shall be brought against Countrywide and it shall notify the Investor of the commencement thereof, the Investor shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Countrywide, and, after notice from the Investor to Countrywide of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Investor shall not be liable to Countrywide under the immediately previous paragraph for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by Countrywide, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Countrywide shall have the right to employ separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by Investor, in any action and to participate in the defense thereof if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Investor and Countrywide, and Countrywide shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Investor and that joint representation may be inappropriate under professional standards, in which case the Investor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of Countrywide, it being understood, however, that the Investor shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for Countrywide (including controlling persons), and any such firm shall be designated in writing by Countrywide.

11. Non-public Personal Information. The Investor understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information” as that term is defined in Section 6809(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”) and the Investor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

12. Ongoing Provision of Confidential Information. This Agreement shall apply to any and all Confidential Information provided by Countrywide to the Investor at any time on or after the date hereof relating to the Securities or the Mortgage Loans. In the event of any transfer of the Securities by the Investor, this Agreement shall not result in any obligation on the part of Countrywide to provide any similar information to any transferee. The obligations of the Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall terminate three years from the date hereof.

13. Prohibition on Sale Transfer of Information. The Investor hereby covenants that it shall not transfer or make available any Confidential Information directly or indirectly to any third parties (except as permitted herein or to service providers, rating agencies, agents and subcontractors solely in their capacity as such and to Representatives, Advisors and prospective purchasers as set forth in Section 2(b) above), without the express prior written consent of Countrywide.

14. Tax Disclaimer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Investor (and each employee, representative or agent of Investor) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential investment and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the U.S. federal income tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable any person to comply with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the potential investment but shall not include information regarding the identity of the parties thereto.

15. Offering of Securities. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in connection with any offering of securities by Countrywide or an affiliate (the “Issuer”), in which Investor or an affiliate (the “GS Entity”) is involved as underwriter, dealer, agent or other similar participant, nothing in this letter agreement shall (i) prevent either the Issuer or the GS Entity from complying with all applicable disclosure laws, regulations and principles in connection with such offering or sale of securities, (ii) restrict the ability of the GS Entity to consider information for due diligence purposes or to share information with other underwriters participating in such offering or sale of securities, (iii) prevent the GS Entity from retaining documents or other information in connection with due diligence or (iv) prevent the GS Entity from using any such documents or other information in investigating or defending itself against claims made or threatened by purchasers, regulatory authorities or others in connection with such an offering or sale of securities.

REO Servicing Standards

Purpose: The purpose of these standards is to serve as a guideline for valuations, reporting and overall management of Goldman REO Assets.

Property Valuations:

• BPO - As soon as the REO property in possession, by our attached definition an interior BPO should be ordered by the servicer. The BPO should state a Value as-is and a Repaired Value. It should include interior photos, photos of outbuildings, and deferred maintenance. Upon completion an original copy of the BPO is to be forwarded to the REO Department of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx either in PDF format or overnight hard copy. Sale and listing information on the BPO should be in a grid format acceptable to Xxxxxxx Sachs.

• APPRAISAL – (Only on new REO acquisitions) As soon as the property is re-keyed and trashed out the servicer will at Goldman request, order a full interior appraisal on form 1004 from an Appraiser acceptable to Xxxxxxx Sachs. The appraiser should be given the access instructions by the servicer. The full appraisal will include interior photos, photos of all outbuildings and deferred maintenance. Required is “The Supplemental REO Addendum Form” giving 3 listing comps, itemization of needed repairs, and as-is and as-repaired value. Upon completion an original copy of the Appraisal is to be forwarded or made available to the REO Department of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx either in PDF format or overnight hard copy.

• OTHER – Any and all subsequent BPO’s, CMA’s Appraisals, AVM’s or other evaluations ordered during the course of the REO term are to be made available in the same manner.

Vendors:

• From time to time, Xxxxxxx Sachs will provide the Servicer with a published list of Appraisers, Appraisal Vendors, Realtors, Brokers and other service providers with whom they prefer not to do business. The Servicer will make commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from using anyone named on such a list and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx reserves the right to refuse any product or service and payment for that product or service provided by such listed Appraisers, Appraisal Vendors, Realtors, Brokers and other service providers – if, and only if, such product or service does not comply with reasonable standards as determined by generally accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage lending institutions which service mortgage loans of the same type as such mortgage loan in the jurisdiction where the related mortgaged property is located.

Possession:

• RE-KEYING – The property should be Re-keyed as soon as it is in our possession both to keep prior occupants out and allow access to new service providers and Xxxxxxx Sachs personnel. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx suggests that the door be re-keyed to a master key code (key code to be furnished to REO personnel at Xxxxxxx Sachs) and the new keys be placed in a combo lock box. The servicer will keep REO personnel at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx informed with proper access information.

• TRASH OUT - Defined as but not limited to; grass cut, shrubs and trees trimmed, all debris cleared from interior and exterior, appliances emptied, cleaned and secured, all trash removed from premises, windows and doors secured, any fire or safety hazard removed. The property should be trashed out before the full appraisal is ordered and the “For Sale” sign is placed on the property.

• CASH FOR KEYS – The maximum allowable payment to either an owner or tenant to vacate the property without Xxxxxxx Sachs’ prior consent should be one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500). If the servicer intends to pay either an owner or tenant to vacate the property an amount in excess of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500), the servicer should make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ prior consent. Every advance should be cost justified and that data available to Xxxxxxx Sachs upon request. The exact amount of the advance should be proportional to the benefit and made to avoid a lengthily eviction process. Payments should be made only after the property is actually vacated and inspected by designated agents of the servicer. The servicer will report each month on all cash for keys transactions.

• INSURANCE CLAIMS- The servicer will report on a monthly basis all Insurance claims filed, claims denied and claims aged over ninety (90) days during the reporting period.

On the Market:

• LISTING –

o All properties are expected to be listed within thirty (30) days of possession.

o Properties not listed within thirty (30) days will require an exceptions report at month end.

o All listings should be in the local MLS.

o Listing Agreements should not be for more than six (6) months.

o All listing agreements are subject to cancellation at any time without penalty of liability to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx

• SIGNAGE -

o All listed properties are to have a sign that is conspicuous and readable from the street which clearly indicates the property is available for sale and contact information for prospective buyers.

o From the date of acquisition through the date of listing , the broker/agent/servicer is to reasonably inspect the property until a sale sign is posted.
