Servicer to Act as Servicer. With respect to each Mortgage Loan in each Mortgage Loan Package, from and after the related Transfer Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under the Servicer’s name on a scheduled/scheduled basis, and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall acknowledge by email to the Owner its receipt of each Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Servicer’s assumption of the servicing responsibilities with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package.

The Servicer may not 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 without the prior written consent of the Owner. 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 Properties. 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.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law, and the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer.

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers 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, Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans unless the Servicer has been notified of such transfers as provided in this Section 2.01. The Owner may sell and transfer, in whole or in part, the Mortgage Loans. Upon notice thereof, Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such assignee, and the previous Owner shall be released from its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Owner and Servicer and their permitted successors, assignees and designees.

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

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

Section 2.02

Liquidation of Mortgage Loans. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Owner.

Section 2.03

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the related Transfer Date until the related Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 2.04

Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Avelo Mortgage, L.L.C., in trust for Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company, Residential Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors.” The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Owner. The Servicer and the Owner intend that the Custodial Account be a Special Deposit Account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted by the FDIC and as otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 2.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner and, upon request, to any subsequent Owner.

The Servicer and the Owner intend that the Escrow Accounts be Special Deposit Accounts. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 2.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer.

Section 2.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges With Respect to First Lien Loans. With respect to each First Lien Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer shall monitor the Mortgagor’s payment of such bills and shall promptly notify any Mortgagor in breach of timely payments of such bills to remedy such breach. If after such notification, such Mortgagor continues to fail to remedy the breach, the Servicer shall arrange for the purchase of insurance coverage which satisfied the requirements of Section 2.10 of this Agreement on behalf of such Mortgagor. The Servicer shall advance property taxes to protect each Mortgaged Property as may be provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 2.09

Protection of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Owner.

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

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Section 2.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each First Lien Loan, hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer which satisfies the hazard insurer ratings requirements of each of the Rating Agencies, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such First Lien Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If upon origination of the First Lien Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier which satisfies the flood insurer ratings requirements of each of the Rating Agencies, in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the First Lien Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

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

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

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

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

The 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 satisfy the insurer ratings requirements of each of the Rating Agencies and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Servicer shall ensure that appropriate insurance policies are in place in the required coverages.

Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the First Lien Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 2.13) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.

With respect to each Second Lien Loan, the Servicer shall obtain and maintain the blanket hazard insurance policy in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of such Second Lien Loan. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Second Lien Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05. Such policy may contain a standard deductible clause. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 2.11

Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 2.11 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Servicers’ & Servicers’ Guide. Upon the request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 2.12

Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Servicer immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property (provided that if the Servicer is in communication with the Mortgagor with respect to bringing the Mortgage Loan current the Servicer shall conduct inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

Section 2.13

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

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

Section 2.14

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 a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 2.15

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 the requirements of applicable law and the related 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 Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, 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, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Owner thereby.

Section 2.16

Section 2.17

Credit Reporting. The Servicer shall report the Mortgagor credit files to each of the three major credit reporting agencies on a monthly basis consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

Section 2.18

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

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

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

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 4.01

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

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

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

Section 4.02

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the monthly remittance advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Owner in accordance with this Section 4.02 hereof.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (or such lesser amount in connection with a discounted payoff accepted by the Servicer with respect to a defaulted Mortgage Loan) or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, if Servicer is unable to reasonably demonstrate that it will be able to cause the amount of the unpaid indebtedness to be reinstated and secured under the related Mortgage, or if the Mortgagor becomes thirty (30) or more days delinquent following such erroneous release, regardless of Servicer’s ability to obtain reinstatement, upon the Servicer’s receiving knowledge of such an event or upon written demand of the Owner, whichever is earlier, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of any shortfall thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Owner; provided, however, that with respect to any such Mortgage Loan subject to judicial action, the Servicer’s obligations under this sentence shall be limited to giving the Owner notice of such judicial action and using good faith efforts to reinstate and secure the amount of the unpaid indebtedness under the related Mortgage. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.11 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.

Section 4.03

Servicing Compensation.

The obligation of the Owner to pay, and the Servicer’s right to withdraw, the Servicing Fee is limited to, and the Servicing Fee is payable solely from, the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds, to the extent permitted by Section 2.05) of such Monthly Payment collected by the Servicer, or as otherwise provided under Section 2.05. The Servicer shall be entitled to all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees upon the termination of its servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 4.04

Right to Examine Servicer Records. So long as any Mortgage Loan are being serviced hereunder and for a reasonable period after servicing has been transferred, the Owner shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other material information of the Servicer, whether held by the Servicer or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.

Compliance with Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999.

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

Upon 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 6.02.

ARTICLE XII

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 12.01

Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XII of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Servicer acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Owner’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

Section 12.02

REO Servicing Standards

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

Property Valuations:

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

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

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

Vendors:

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

Possession:

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

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

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

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

On the Market:

LISTING –

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

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

All listings should be in the local MLS.

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

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

SIGNAGE –

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

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