Fund’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the representations and
warranties made by CMC set forth above that materially and adversely affects
the

Agreement as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the

or
remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right
or
remedy had been enforced or exercised by GCFP directly.
3

amended by this Agreement will be assigned to GCA under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and by GCA to the Trust Fund under the Pooling and Servicing

purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and
possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer
acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, inclusive of the
servicing rights thereto, is vested in the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund.
All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including all funds received on
or
in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect
to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the
Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer for the sole purpose of

incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written
instructions shall not be required. The parties agree the Servicer is not
obligated to locate or obtain Mortgage Loan Documents that it did not or will
not receive from or on behalf of the Owner or that it did not receive in the
ordinary course of its servicing of such Mortgage Loans;
provided, however,
that if
the Servicer has actual knowledge that it has not received any necessary
documents, it shall so inform the Owner and the Depositor. The Servicer hereby
agrees that within 5 Business Days after request by the Owner or the Depositor
therefor, it shall provide copies of the Servicing File to the Owner or
Depositor, as applicable, or shall permit inspection thereof at the Servicer's
offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Owner

Section.

follows:
|
(i) by
adding
the following proviso at the end of the first paragraph to read as
follows:
provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail
to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and
the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC
created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust (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 Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the Servicer reimbursable from funds in the Custodial
Account) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC
created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC created thereunder.
Exhibit
One
-4
(ii) by
deleting the second paragraph and replacing it with the following two
paragraphs:
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any
term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance
with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in
the
Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Trust Fund on an
aggregate basis; provided,
however,
that
unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such
default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer shall not permit any modification 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. In the event of such modification, the Servicer shall calculate
the Monthly Payment for such Mortgage Loan based on the modified terms of such
Mortgage Loan and shall only be required to make Monthly Advances pursuant
to
Section 5.03 to the extent of such new Monthly Payment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the
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 Property. If reasonably
required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers
of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement.
Promptly
after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC
created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code.

The
Servicer does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans, from and after the
related Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Mortgage
Loans initially subject to this Agreement are described in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule attached hereto on the initial Effective Date. Additional Mortgage
Loans may be subject hereto pursuant to a Transmission to the Servicer by the
Owner, setting forth the Effective Date with respect thereto.
Section
2.02 Maintenance
of Servicing Files.
The
Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of all documents necessary
to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the
Servicer is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and
such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only.
The Servicer acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage Loan is vested
in
the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including all funds
received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or
documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into
the
possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer for the
sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession
by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only in trust for the exclusive
benefit of the Owner as the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Any portion
of
the related Servicing Files retained by the Servicer shall be appropriately
identified in the Servicer’s computer system to reflect clearly the ownership of
the related Mortgage Loans by the Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody
of the contents of the related Servicing Files only in accordance with written
instructions of the Owner, except when such release is required as incidental
to
the Servicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written instructions shall
not be required.

Section
2.03 Books
and Records.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete
set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately
identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of
the Mortgage Loan by the Owner. In particular, the Servicer shall maintain
in
its possession, available for inspection by the Owner, or its designee and
shall
deliver to the Owner upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal,
state
and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Xxxxxx Mae and
Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, including documentation as to the method used in
determining the applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing
insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval
by
Xxxxxx Mae and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 4.13. To
the
extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization
of
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer
may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means
of
recreating original documents, including optical imagery techniques so long
as
the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guide.
The
Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make
available for inspection by the Owner or its designee the related Servicing
File
(or copies thereof) during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage
Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Section
2.04 Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
No
transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance
with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement
or
any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has
been
delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The Owner may,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.11; provided,
however,
that
the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner hereunder binding upon the
Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement and an assignment and assumption of this Agreement reasonably
acceptable to the Servicer (except as provided in Section 10.02 with respect
to
a Securitization Transaction by the initial Owner). The Owner also shall advise
the Servicer in writing of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted
transfer, the Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect such
assignee’s ownership of the related Mortgage Loans, and the previous Owner shall
be deemed released from its obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage
Loans from and after the date of such sale or transfer without the necessity
of
any action on the part of the Servicer.

Section
2.05 Delivery
of Mortgage Loan Documents.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original
documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of
any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 promptly
after their execution; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall provide the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified
true copy of any such document submitted for recordation promptly after its
execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for
recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original promptly after
receipt thereof, but in no event later than 180 days after its execution,
provided,
however,
that if
delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such
delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned
by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best
efforts to obtain such documents and effect delivery as soon as possible after
its receipt thereof.
From
time
to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released
by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage Loan
Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such request
in
the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit
D.
During
the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession
is
in trust for the benefit of the Owner, and the Servicer shall return such
documentation to the Custodian upon the request of the Owner or when the
Servicer’s need therefore no longer exists.

ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
The
Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer),
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be
done
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which
the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms
of
this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Except as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, including
provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of
Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges,
the
maintenance of title insurance, hazard insurance, flood insurance, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, a Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance,
all such coverage to be maintained with a Qualified Insurer, inspections, the
restoration of Mortgaged Property, all such coverage to be maintained insurance
claims, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO
Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments
of
Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage
Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities.
In
the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the
servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions
of
the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be
binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner may, at its option, deliver
powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer
to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect
to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial
releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative,
shall as promptly as reasonably feasible, execute and return such documentation
to the Servicer.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any
term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or
in
any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is
not materially adverse to the Owner; provided,
however,
that
unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for
actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage
Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing
by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments
on
any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest
payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds,
in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a)
such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the related Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b)
the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances
pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the
Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare,
execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties.
Page
14
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a REMIC election is made, the
Servicer shall not (unless the related Mortgagor is in default with respect
to
the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment
of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause the related REMIC to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions” after the “startup date” of such REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may
cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its
behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the
Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain
responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully
as
if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer
must
be a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including
but
not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable
to
comply with the eligibility requirements for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from
its
own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing
Fee.
At
the
cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the
Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities
to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the
preceding paragraph; provided,
however,
that
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer,
at
the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans
itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if
requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense
terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as
of
the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees,
expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without
reimbursement from the Owner.
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken
through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its
obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under
the
same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with
a
subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Page
15
Any
subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such
subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties
or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty
or
liability of Owner to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of
distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the
Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when
a
subservicer has received such payment.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed with reasonable diligence and in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to collect all payments due under
each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable. Further, the
Servicer shall take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground
rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums,
mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the
Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable
by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become
due and payable.
The
Servicer (a) shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and
interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive a prepayment penalty or
charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard
and
customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable
judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into
account the value of such prepayment penalty or charge and the related Mortgage
Loan or (ii) the collection of such prepayment penalty or charge would be in
violation of applicable laws. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that for the
purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) the law applicable to the enforcement
of
prepayment penalties and charges is the law applicable to the related originator
of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) state laws prohibiting or limiting prepayment
penalties or charges are preempted and thereby inapplicable if the related
originator of the mortgage loans is a federal association or federal bank or
an
operating subsidiary of such institution. In the event the Servicer determines
that (i) the foregoing acknowledgement is no longer accurate and (ii) applicable
state law would prevent it from fully enforcing prepayment penalties or charges,
the Servicer shall (i) provide prompt notice to such effect to the Owner and
(ii) provide a written opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law
firm
experienced in regulatory matters concluding that fully enforcing prepayment
penalties or charges would violate applicable law.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall use its
reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner
as
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into
account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The
foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which any Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to
expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by
the
Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings
or
functions as Servicing Advances; provided,
however,
that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with
a
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the
Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner
otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged
Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified
inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly
provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After
reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall direct the
Servicer as to how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, and the Servicer shall follow the Owner’s directions with respect
thereto.

Section
4.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each
Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Any funds
in
a Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit
of
the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer).
Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer only
in
accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be
evidenced by an account certification in the form shown in Exhibit
B
hereto.
The original of such account certification shall be furnished to the Owner
upon
reasonable request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer
shall
bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount
of
any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account, out of the Servicer’s own funds, with no right to reimbursement
therefor.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days
of
Servicer's receipt, and retain therein, the following collections:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and any
prepayment penalties or premiums with respect thereto, on the Mortgage
Loans;

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

net
amounts received by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant
to
Section 4.13;
(v) all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow
Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the
loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) all
Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property other than proceeds
to be
held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;
(vii) any
Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;
(viii) any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections
4.01, 4.14, 6.01 and 6.02; and
(xi)
with
respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (the “Interest Shortfall
Amount”), 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 Servicer shall in no event be obligated to deposit any Interest Shortfall
Amount which is in excess of any Reinvestment
Income earned
by
Servicer (with respect to the funds from such Principal Prepayment).
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees,
to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer
in the Custodial Account.
Section
4.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account
for
the following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section
5.01;
(ii) to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Monthly Advance
was
made;

(iii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances,
the

pay to
itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the

in
accordance with the terms hereof to the extent such Servicing Fee has not been
paid to or retained by the Servicer;
(v) to
reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;
(vi) to
transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.09
hereof;

and
(viii) to

and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section

The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any
of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more

The
original of such account certification shall be furnished to the Owner upon
request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear
any
losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such
losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account
out
of the Servicer’s own funds, with no right to reimbursement

of
effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this
Agreement;
Page

(ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any
Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to
cover escrow disbursements.
The
Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as
shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. Except as provided
in Section 4.07, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid

(iv) for
transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO
Property;
(v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;
(vi) to
pay to
the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest
paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii) to
pay to
the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance
with
Section 4.06;
(viii) to
remove
funds placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and
(ix) to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
As
part
of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest
on
funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent
that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall
pay
such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor.

Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges, Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies, Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and
other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard
insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated
and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that
the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer or, with respect
to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the owner or the servicer of the related
first
lien mortgage loan, shall determine that any such payments are made by the
Mortgagor when due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds
to
effect such payments.
With
respect to any second lien Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall advance or cause
to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effectuating the payment
of
taxes and assessments on any Mortgaged Property (to the extent that such taxes
or assessments have not been paid by the related Mortgagor or the owner or
the
servicer of the related first lien mortgage loan). The Servicer shall only
advance such amounts to the extent such advances, in the good faith judgment
of
the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of late Monthly Payments,
insurance proceeds, liquidation proceeds, or otherwise out of the proceeds
of
the related Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that Servicer shall make
such
payments within such time period required to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property by foreclosure of a tax or other lien.
The
Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for
which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until
the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the
most
recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser,
such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to 80.00% or
less (or such other amount provided under applicable law). The Servicer shall
not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is
required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained
from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any
action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would
have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the
Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in
accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may
be
required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under
the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability,
the
Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as
provided above.

In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any
Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take
such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section
4.04,
any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner
of
any such transfer prior to the effective date of such transfer.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and
(b)
the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent
the
Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged
Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has
federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to
be
maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least
of
(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on each
REO
Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which
is
at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are
a
part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood
insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer
under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal
servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other
additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or
maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than
as
provided in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or
assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of
any
cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the
Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of
choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in
Best’s Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and are licensed to
do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
All insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be
maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

Section
4.11 Blanket
Hazard Insurance.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with a
Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on
all
of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Owner as loss
payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required under
Section 4.10, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 4.10,
the
Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations under
Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event
that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have
been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the difference,
if
any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying
with Section 4.10 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the
request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner
a
certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder
that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
30 days prior written notice to the Owner.
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, with a Qualified Insurer, a blanket
Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage
with responsible companies that meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx on all
officers, employees and other persons acting in any capacity with regard to
the
Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to
the
Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall
be in
the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the
Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors
and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors
and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against
losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies
required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond
and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from
its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage
under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to
the
corresponding amounts acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or by
Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner,
deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the
existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and
shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity
Bond
or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified
without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify
the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity
Bond
or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated.
The
Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named
as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors
and
omissions policy.

Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such
title
other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being
held
as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.
The
Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall
continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to
such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must
be
sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date
of
acquisition if a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement
under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, unless (i) the Owner
shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer’s expense)
to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such
three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result
in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such
Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall
have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an
extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section
856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended
by
the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is permitted under
the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer
shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such
REO
Property.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no
Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue
to be
rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the
related trust or sold in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would
(i)
cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as “foreclosure
property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the
related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net
income from foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgaged Property within
the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such
Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income
from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code,
unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust
with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
and
in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guide and Accepted Servicing Practices,
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property. Each REO Disposition
shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and
conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner and
as
are approved in writing by the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the
sale
of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As
soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the
Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly
Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.
The
Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the
acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected
at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the
circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written
report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing
File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the
Owner.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.13, the parties hereto
hereby agree that the Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for its own benefit (such
option, an “REO Option”). In connection with the exercise of an REO Option, the
prior two paragraphs and the related provisions of Section 4.03 and Section
4.04(iii) (such provisions, the “REO Marketing Provisions”) shall be revised as
follows. Following the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer
shall
submit a detailed invoice to the Owner for all related Servicing Advances and,
upon exercising the REO Option, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer
for such amounts. In the event the REO Option is exercised with respect to
an
REO Property, Section 4.04 (iii) shall not be applicable thereto. References
made in Section 4.03 with respect to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances
shall, for purposes of such REO Property, be deemed to be covered by this
paragraph. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event it exercises an REO Option,
with respect to the related REO Property, there shall be no breach by the
Servicer based upon or arising out of the Servicer’s failure to comply with the
REO Marketing Provisions from and after the date on which such REO Option is
exercised by the Owner.
Section
4.14 Notification
of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest
Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with
requirements of applicable law and the related electronic data received on
the
Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and
all
necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
electronic data received on the Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the
Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written
request by the Owner, deliver to the Owner such notifications and any additional
applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate
and
implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt
of
notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest
Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage,
the
Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds
the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner
thereby.

Section
4.15 Superior
Liens.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is secured by a second lien on the related
Mortgaged Property, to the extent that the Servicer is not servicing the related
first lien mortgage loan, the Servicer shall, for the protection of the Owner'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. To the extent that the Servicer is not
servicing any related superior lien, the Servicer 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
Servicer 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 Servicer shall take whatever actions
are necessary to protect the interests of the Owner, 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 Internal Revenue Code.
The Servicer shall make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary to cure
the
default or reinstate the superior lien if the Servicer determines that such
Servicing Advance is in the best interests of the Owner. The Servicer 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 Servicer shall thereafter
take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.
If
the
Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan has a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan
on
the related Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent
to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the Owner consents
to
such refinancing. If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior
to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and this agreement has
been assigned to a securitization or other pass-through facility, then the
Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior
lien, provided that the following requirements are met and the appropriate
documents have been received by the Servicer:
(i) such
senior lien secures a mortgage loan that refinances an existing senior lien
and
(A) the outstanding principal amount of the replacement first mortgage loan
immediately following such refinancing is not greater than the outstanding
principal amount of the refinanced senior lien at the date of such refinancing
and (B) 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;
(ii) 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
not
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;
Page
26
(iii) the
loan
evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization;
(iv) such
refinancing is not a cash-out refinancing;
(v) the
new
senior lien is not a balloon loan;
(vi) the
original the new senior lien is not greater than the original term of the prior
senior lien;
(vii) the
monthly payment on the new senior lien is not greater than the monthly payment
of the prior senior lien;
(viii) the
debt
to income ratio of the new senior lien is not greater than the debt to income
ratio of the prior senior lien;
(ix)
the
refinancing does not result in any material adverse effect to the interest
of
the related Owner in the Mortgage Loan; and
(x) the
Mortgage Loan must be current prior to consenting to any refinancing of the
senior lien.

PAYMENTS
TO THE OWNER
Section
5.01 Remittances.
On
each
Remittance Date the Servicer shall remit, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, to the Owner (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account
as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against
or
withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b)
all
amounts, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to
Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments
received after the end of the preceding month which amounts shall be remitted
on
the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required
to
be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal
Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii); minus (d) any amounts
attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates
subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, which amounts
shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period
for such amounts.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which
such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such
late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the
date
of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited
in
the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made
and
shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day
and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.
Such
interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next
succeeding related Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such
interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of
any
Event of Default by the Servicer.

Section
5.02 Statements
to the Owner.
Not
later
than the tenth (10) calendar day, or if such day is not a Business Day, the
first Business Day immediately preceding the tenth calendar day of the month
of
the related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner, a monthly
remittance advice in the format set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto (or
in
such other electronic format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and Owner),
with
regard to monthly loan remittance data and Exhibit G (or in such other
electronic format mutually agreed to by the Servicer and Owner) with respect
to
defaulted mortgage loans, with a trial balance report attached thereto, and
such
other loan level information reasonably available to the Servicer and requested
by the Owner.
For
any
month in which the Reinvestment Income is less than the Interest Shortfall
Amount, the Servicer shall deliver to Owner a report, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Owner, detailing the Reinvestment Income earned with respect
to each Mortgage Loan.
Section
5.03 Monthly
Advances by the Servicer.
Not
later
than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date,
the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all
payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred
pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the
related Determination Date. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly
Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition
or
liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance
to
be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter
event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer’s Certificate of the
Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related
Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable
determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation
or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
Section
5.04 Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the
foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the
Owner pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit
to
the Owner and the NIMs Insurer a liquidation report in the format set forth
in
Exhibit H attached hereto (or in such other format mutually agreed to by the
Servicer and Owner) with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall
also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information
as Owner may reasonably require.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale”
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the
terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights
would
impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable
under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter
into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property
has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If an assumption
is
allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent
of
the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and
becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide.
With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage
Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly
Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such
substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability
or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
Loan
Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related
mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering
into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the
Servicer.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may
be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes
of
this Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the
Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Page

Section
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify
the
Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer,
which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited
in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and
a
request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan
Documents held by the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification and request,
the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release
the
related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare
and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner’s option execute under
the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner
any
satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial
Account.
In
the
event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments,
the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit to the Owner within two Business
Days the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by
deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Servicer against
any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian
of
a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, all as provided in the
Custodial Agreement, the Servicer may request the Custodian to release to the
Servicer the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to
the
Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return
the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor
by
the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in
the Custodial Account or such documents have been delivered to an attorney,
or
to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of
the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has
promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing
Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery.
Section

in
Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees (excluding
prepayment penalties) shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be

Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
On
or
before February 28th
of
each
calendar year, commencing in 2008,
the
Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
to
furnish a statement to the Owner to the effect that such firm has examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans
similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions
of
this or similar Agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis
of
such examination conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would
indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith,
except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial,
and
(ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. By providing
Owner a copy of a Uniform Single Attestation Program Report from their
independent public accountant's on an annual basis, Servicer shall be considered
to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.05.
Section
6.06 Owner’s
Right to Examine Servicer Records.
The
Owner
shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable
notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might

documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for
the
Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or
observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.
The
Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners
representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over
the
Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession
of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access

with REMIC Provisions.
If
a
REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any
action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code and the tax on “contribution” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of
the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any
such tax.
Section
6.08 Non-solicitation.
The
Servicer shall not conduct any solicitation targeted to the Mortgagors for
the
purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the
related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken
by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed
to
the general public at large, including mass mailings based on commercially
acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements, shall
not constitute solicitation under this Section 6.08.
Section
6.09 Annual
Certification and Indemnification.
(i) With
respect to any Mortgage Loans that are subject to a pass-through transfer or
other securitization (a “Securitization”) in which the filing of a
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification directly with the Securities and Exchange
Commission is required, by March 15th
of each
year or in connection with any additional Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification required
to be filed upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Servicer
shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certification substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit
E,
to the
entity filing the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification directly with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the “Sarbanes Certifying Party”) for the benefit of such
entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of
such entity.
(ii) The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party and
its
officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach
by
the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.09 or the negligence, bad faith
or
willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Sarbanes Certifying Party as
a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Sarbanes Certifying
Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the
Sarbanes Certifying Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in
connection with a breach of the Servicer's obligations under Sections 6.04,
6.05
and 6.09 or the Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in

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

shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or
any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.

Any
Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer
whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided,
however,
that
the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP
net
worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured
by
the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in
origination and servicing of first and second lien 1-4 family mortgage loans,
and (iii) which is a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in
good
standing. Furthermore, in the event the Servicer transfers or otherwise disposes
of all or substantially all of its assets to an affiliate of the Servicer,
such
affiliate shall satisfy the condition above, and shall also be fully liable
to
the Owner for all of the Servicer's obligations and liabilities
hereunder.
Section
8.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither
the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or
for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
in
any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in
this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason
of
negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The
Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by
the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not
be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which
is
not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or
liability; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, undertake any such action
which
it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, the Owner
shall reimburse the Servicer within thirty days of receipt by the Owner of
a
billing statement from the Servicer providing reasonable detail with respect
thereto, unless the Owner is disputing such charges, in which event the Owner
shall reimburse the Servicer as promptly as feasible upon resolution of such
dispute.
Section
8.04 Servicer
Not to Resign.
The
Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the
Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer

Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to
the
Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have
assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner
provided in Section 12.01.

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

this
Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties
hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted
herein;
(viii) the
Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where

obligations hereunder; or

failure
by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its
obligations under Section 6.04, Section 6.05, Section 6.09 or Article XI of
this
Agreement which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Agreement
or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans.
In
each
and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition
to

to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all
the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for
the same.
From
and
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed
pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer
shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments,
place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the
Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and
such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities
and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such
successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time
be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
Property.

Section
9.02 Waiver
of Defaults.

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

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

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

Reconstitution Date of the related Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization

(i) any
and
all information and appropriate verification of information which may be
reasonably available to the Servicer, including the Servicer's foreclosure,
delinquency experience and the Servicer's standards, whether through letters
of
its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Owner shall request;
and
(ii) such
additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters
from auditors, financial description of the Servicer as servicer for inclusion
in any disclosure document or offering memorandum to be distributed to potential
investors in connection with a Securitization Transaction with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Servicer
as are reasonably believed necessary by the Trustee, any Rating Agency, or
the
Owner, as the case may be, in connection with such Whole Loan Transfers or
Securitization Transactions. The Owner shall pay all third party costs
associated with the preparation of such information. The Servicer shall execute
any servicer agreements required within a reasonable period of time after
receipt of such servicer agreements which time shall be sufficient for the
Servicer and Servicer’s counsel to review such servicer agreements. Under this
Agreement, the Servicer shall retain a servicing fee at a rate per annum equal
to no less than the rate specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such
Mortgage Loan;
(iv) indemnify
the Owner for any material misstatements or omissions contained in the
information provided pursuant to (c) above;
(v) in
connection with any Securitization Transaction of any Mortgage Loans, to execute
a pooling and servicing agreement or a subservicing agreement, which pooling
and
servicing agreement or subservicing agreement may, at the Owner’s direction,
contain contractual provisions including a 24-day certificate payment delay
(54-day total payment delay), servicer advances of delinquent scheduled payments
of principal and interest through liquidation (unless deemed non-recoverable)
and prepayment interest shortfalls (to the extent of the monthly servicing
fee
payable thereto), servicing and mortgage loan representations and warranties
which in form and substance conform to the representations and warranties in
this Agreement and to secondary market standards for securities backed by
mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and such provisions with regard
to
servicing responsibilities, investor reporting, segregation and deposit of
principal and interest payments, custody of the Mortgage Loans, and other
covenants as are required by the Owner and one or more Rating Agencies for
“AAA”
rated mortgage pass-through transactions which are “mortgage related securities”
for the purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984,
unless otherwise mutually agreed. If a REMIC election has been made with respect
to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held,
the
Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail
to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon
the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860(D) of the Code) unless the Servicer has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status
or result in the imposition of any such tax; and
Page

(vi) In
connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer and the Owner
agree
that, notwithstanding Section 4.04(ix), with respect to each Principal
Prepayment, the Servicer shall pay the Interest Shortfall Amount; provided,
however, that Servicer shall in no event be obligated to deposit any Interest
Shortfall Amount which is in excess of 1/12 of the Servicing Fee Rate of the
prior month end scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans which are
subject to such Securitization Transaction unless otherwise agreed to in the
related Securitization Transaction documents. The Owner agrees to reimburse
the
Servicer for any amount paid pursuant to this Section with respect to any
Mortgage Loan to the extent that such amount exceeds the related Reinvestment
Income.
In
the
event the Owner has elected to have the Servicer hold record title to the
Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date the Servicer shall prepare an
assignment in blank or, at the option of the Owner, to the Trustee from the
Servicer acceptable to the Trustee for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the
Whole Loan Transfers or Securitization Transactions. The Owner shall pay all
preparation and recording costs associated therewith. The Servicer shall execute
each assignment, track such assignments to ensure they have been recorded and
deliver them as required by the trustee upon the Servicer’s receipt thereof.
Additionally, the Servicer shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the
Owner, any note endorsements in connection with any and all seller/servicer
agreements.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or
Securitization Transaction shall remain subject to this agreement and shall
continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this agreement and
with
respect thereto this agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

Upon
termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 8.04 or 9.01, the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume
all
of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth
in
Section 8.02 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement
prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor
shall agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and
liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence
and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall
take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial
condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant
to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor
shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the
Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III
and
the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood
and
agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be

the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,

or
resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.04 or 9.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the
Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial
Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents
and
statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds.

the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations
and
liabilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make such arrangements as
it
may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Monthly Advances
and Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would
otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but
for
the appointment of the successor servicer.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the
Owner of such appointment.
All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with replacing the Servicer
upon its resignation or the termination of the Servicer in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs
and
expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation
of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default

therefor.

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 Sarbanes Certifying
Party by the Servicer under the [applicable servicing agreement]
has been
provided to the Sarbanes Certifying
Party;
|
(iii)
|
I
am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer
under the [applicable servicing agreement] and based upon the review

Accountant’s Servicing Report and all servicing reports, officer’s

has, as of the date of this certification, fulfilled its obligations
under
