ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Role of the Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders, 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 that the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, at the respective Mortgagor’s request or as required by applicable law, 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 consistent with industry practice and not materially adverse to Owner, including actions intended to maximize collections on such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that, except as permitted by the following paragraph, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, make future advances or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. 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 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. Owner has provided and shall, as necessary, promptly furnish the Servicer with such powers of attorney (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) as are necessary and appropriate and with such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the contrary:

(i) In the case of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may waive any late payment charge, penalty, interest or any assumption fees, or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan;

(ii) In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing by either fax, email or other mutually acceptable means and obtain the Owner’s written consent prior to the Servicer modifying, amending or waiving any of the financial terms of, or making any other modifications to the Mortgage Loan. If Owner notifies the Servicer of its refusal to consent thereto, then the Servicer shall, at its option, repurchase the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase shall be at a price equal to (a) the Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus (b) accrued interest on such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate has last been paid and distributed to Purchaser to the date of repurchase. Further, if such Mortgage Loan is an Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, Servicer may release a portion of or all of the Additional Collateral related thereto provided that the release of such Additional Collateral is in accordance with the Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement; and

(iii) The Servicer shall specifically notify the Owner and obtain the Owner’s consent to the Servicer taking any of the following actions: (a) selling any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, (b) forgiving principal or interest on, or permitting to be satisfied at a discount, any Mortgage Loan; or (c) accepting substitute or additional collateral, or releasing any collateral, for a Mortgage Loan.

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 mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and Owner’s reliance on the Servicer. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer may permit any Governmental Authority to have access to and review and copy the files of the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and Servicer is authorized to do whatever is necessary to comply with all Applicable Laws and the requirements of such Governmental Authority, including without limitation any required modifications of the Loan Documents.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

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

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties which secure Mortgaged Loans which 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. In addition, if an Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan becomes a defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall make all reasonable efforts available under the Loan Documents to realize upon the Additional Collateral pertaining to such Mortgage Loan, and any proceeds from the realization thereof (and not such Additional Collateral itself) shall be included in the related Liquidation Proceeds and deposited in the Custodial Account, net of any related Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings and any proceedings with respect to Additional Collateral. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of an aggregate of $2,000 during the life of the Mortgage Loan, unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to 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.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan becomes 90 days delinquent and, in the judgment of the Servicer, the related Mortgagor is not likely to become current within a reasonable period of time, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure or other proceedings to realize upon the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall establish and maintain at all times appropriate custodial accounts for principal and interest, and taxes and insurance with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds constituting Escrow Payments collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan to be so deposited, separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets.

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

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

(iii) All Liquidation Proceeds;

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 7.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited into the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). In addition, funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.18.

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 Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 6.01;

(ii) To reimburse itself for each unreimbursed Monthly Advance from the related Monthly Payments collected from the Mortgagors or, to the extent an unreimbursed Monthly Advance is determined by the Servicer to be unrecoverable, from any funds in the Custodial Account;

(iii) To reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for unreimbursed Servicing Fees, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be limited, subject to Section 4.13, to the related funds collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or any other Person including, but not limited to, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, and with respect to REO Property, funds received as rental or similar income. The Servicer’s right to the reimbursement set forth in the preceding sentence shall be prior to the rights of Owner to such proceeds and amounts, except that where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 5(c) or (d) of the Purchase Agreement, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the rights of Owner to receive payment from the Custodial Account representing the repurchase price set forth in Section 5(c) or (d) of the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and representing all other amounts required to be paid to Owner with respect to such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

(iv) To pay itself as servicing compensation any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account;

(v) To pay itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 5(c) or (d) of the Purchase Agreement all related Monthly Payments and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to such Mortgage Loan, provided that such Monthly Payments or other amounts have not been distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined;

(vi) To refund to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Custodial Account and not required to be deposited therein; and

(vii) To clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

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. The Servicer will establish one or more Escrow Accounts for such purpose, each of which shall be an Eligible Account.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged

Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required or contemplated under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited into the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to a Mortgagor.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, property insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to an Escrow Payment, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, and only to the extent permitted by applicable law, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited into the Escrow Account, (vii) to refund to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Escrow Account and not required to be deposited therein or (viii) 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 the 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 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. The Servicer shall promptly notify Owner upon making any such transfer. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

Section 4.09 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

Section 4.10 Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The 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 and omissions and negligent acts of such Persons and 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 4.10 requiring the 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 bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ and Servicers’ Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ and Servicer’s Guide. Upon request of any Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to Owner a copy of the insurance policy and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner.

Section 4.11 Title Management and Disposition of REO Property.

The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. 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 annually thereafter. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to dispose of the REO Property in a commercially reasonable manner as soon as possible. If Owner has notified the Servicer in writing that an REO Property is held as part of a REMIC, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts to sell such REO Property within the time necessary to preserve such REMIC status as advised by Owner in the notice thereof.

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (each, an “REO Property”), the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or the Person (which may be the Servicer for the benefit of the Owner) designated by the Owner, or in the event the Owner notifies the Servicer that the Owner or such Person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Owner from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Servicer (acting alone or through a subservicer), on behalf of the Owner, shall provide for the maintenance and disposal of REO on behalf of the Owner as outlined under section 6 of the collection manual of Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit and hold all revenues and funds collected and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property in the Custodial Account, and the Servicer shall account separately for revenues and funds received or expended with respect to each REO Property.

The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the servicing standards set forth in Section 4.01. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues and collections received or collected by it with respect to each REO Property, including all proceeds of any REO Disposition. The Servicer shall withdraw

(without duplication) from the Custodial Account, but solely from the revenues and collections received or collected by it with respect to a specific REO Property, such funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property, including the following:

	(a)		all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

	(b)		all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

	(c)		all customary and reasonable costs and expenses necessary to maintain, repair, appraise, evaluate, manage or operate such REO Property (including the customary and reasonable costs incurred by any “managing agent” retained by the Servicer in connection with the maintenance, management or operation of such REO Property);

	(d)		all reasonable costs and expenses of restoration improvements, deferred maintenance and tenant improvements; and

	(e)		all other reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that the Servicer may suffer or incur in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Section (other than costs and expenses that the Servicer is expressly obligated to bear pursuant to this Agreement).

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above, the Servicer shall, subject to Section 6.03, advance the amount of funds required to cover the shortfall with respect thereto. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner in writing of any failure by the Servicer to make a Servicing Advance of the type specified in clauses (1) or (2) above (irrespective of whether such Servicing Advance is claimed to be non-recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03).

The Servicer shall notify Owner of its receipt of a bona fide offer for any REO Property. Following the consummation of an REO Disposition, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner, in accordance with Section 6.01, any proceeds from such REO Disposition in the Custodial Account following the payment of all expenses and Servicing Advances relating to the subject REO Property.

Section 4.12 Adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates.

The Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments and payment amount adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and will deliver to the related Mortgagor written notice of such adjustments in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note and the requirements of applicable law.

Section 4.13 Subservicing Agreements Between the Servicer and Subservicers.

(a) Subject to Section 13.06, the Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. The terms of any Subservicing Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the Mortgaged Properties related to the Mortgage Loans such Subservicer is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac- or Xxxxxx Xxx-approved mortgage servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 4.17 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of Owner, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery (i) exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) is from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

Section 4.14 Successor Subservicers.

The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Subservicer, the Servicer either shall directly service the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 4.13.

Section 4.15 Liability of the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to Owner for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 4.16 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements.

In the event that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Credit Corporation, or its successors (collectively, “MSCC”) shall for any reason cease to be the servicer of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, Owner or its designee may, if MSCC does not terminate any Subservicing

Agreement in accordance with its terms, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of MSCC under such Subservicing Agreement. Upon such assumption, Owner or its designee shall be deemed to have assumed all of MSCC’s interest therein and to have replaced MSCC as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that MSCC shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreements and MSCC shall continue to be entitled to any rights or benefits, in each case, which arose prior to its termination as servicer.

The Servicer at its expense shall, upon the request of Owner, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Section 4.17 Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer shall be required to establish and maintain a Subservicing Account which shall be an Eligible Account. The Subservicer shall be required to deposit into the Subservicing Account not later than the first Business Day after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its subservicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and to remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account not later than the tenth day of each month, or if such tenth day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement.

Section 4.18 Permitted Investments.

The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Permitted Investments, each of which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Remittance Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its nominee, and held in trust for Owner. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest earned on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer, and shall be withdrawn by the Servicer on the related Remittance Date. The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein) an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of reimbursement.

Section 4.19 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 and applicable law. If a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, then the Servicer shall require that any such payments be made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become 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 but shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 75% or less in the case of a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% or until such time, if any, as such insurance is required to be released in accordance with the provisions of applicable law including, but not limited to, the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998. The Servicer shall assure that all premiums due under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy are paid in a timely manner, but, shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for premiums paid by the Servicer on behalf of any Mortgagor who is obligated to pay such premiums but fails to do so. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Funding Date 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 an 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 its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary 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 Collection Account.

Section 4.20 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 that is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (b) the greater of (1) the Unpaid Principal

Balance of such Mortgage Loan or (2) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the loss payee from becoming a co insurer.

If any Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, then 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 lesser of (a) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) or (b) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire, hazard and liability insurance, and to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances.

securities accounts, lines of credit, mortgages, and guarantors with respect to Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4.04, when the Collateral Base for any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan is less than the Loan Amount for such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cause cash received upon exercise of foreclosure rights under the related Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement, if it has not been previously applied to reduce the principal balance of such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

(f) The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon any Additional Collateral for such of the Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments; provided that the Servicer shall not obtain title to any such Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would impair the ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Servicer shall proceed with any acquisition of REO Property in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional Collateral against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such Additional Collateral (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional Collateral) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

Section 5.02 Agreements with Respect to the Surety Bond.

(b) Owner and the Servicer agree that the Surety Bond Issuer is a third party beneficiary in respect of the Servicer’s obligations under this Article V.

(c) With respect to the sale or potential sale of the Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans, Owner shall not use, circulate, quote or otherwise refer to the Surety Bond Issuer or the Surety Bond for any purpose, including but not limited to, the registration, purchase and sale of securities, nor file the Surety Bond with, or refer to it or to the Surety Bond Issuer, as part of any registration statement or offering document, without the express prior written consent of the Surety Bond Issuer as to both form and substance of such disclosure.

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENTS TO OWNER

Section 6.01 Distributions.

On each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 6.03(c), the Servicer shall distribute to Owner (i) all amounts due on the Due Date immediately preceding the related Remittance Date (which shall include all scheduled interest and principal), net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 4.05, plus any principal prepayments received during the related Principal Prepayment Period, minus (iii) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected as to such Mortgage Loans but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the current Remittance Date.

Subject to Section 6.03(c), all distributions made to Owner on each Remittance Date will be made to Owner of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned and held by Owner, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, or if Owner shall have so notified the Servicer, by check mailed to the address of Owner as provided for in Section 12.06.

With respect to any remittance received by Owner on or after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A., New York, New York, as its “prime” lending rate (which is not necessarily its lowest rate) (or if Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. shall cease to exist or to announce such rate, then such rate shall be a reasonably comparable rate determined by Servicer in its reasonable discretion), adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one (1) percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to Owner on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the 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 6.02 Statements to Owner.

Not later than the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Servicer will furnish to Owner a monthly remittance report in a format substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, which monthly remittance report will be generated as of the expiration of the preceding month.

The Servicer shall provide Owner with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Owner to prepare its federal income tax return as Owner may reasonably request from time to time.

Section 6.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan and subject to Section 6.03(c), on each Remittance Date the Servicer shall, pursuant to Section 6.01, remit to Owner the total of all scheduled Monthly Payments due on the preceding Due Date whether or not such Monthly Payments were collected from the Mortgagor. Any amounts which are due but uncollected shall, subject to subsection (c) below, be funded only by using excess cash collections, if any, on deposit in the Custodial Account.

(b) If the collections on deposit in the Custodial Account on the Remittance Date are less than the amount of the required monthly remittance, the Servicer shall, subject to subsection (c) below, make a Monthly Advance by depositing to the Custodial Account enough of its own funds to make the total on deposit equal the full amount of the remittance due Owner. The Servicer may reimburse itself for its advances from collections from Mortgagors that are subsequently deposited into the Custodial Account to the extent provided in Section 4.05.

(c) If the Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that any uncollected payment due from a Mortgagor that is due to be paid to Owner pursuant to Section 6.01 would not be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds or other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) on the related Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer will ensure that the amount considered to be non-recoverable will not be funded from excess collections or advanced by the Servicer, and will therefore not be remitted to Owner until the earlier to occur of (a) the purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the Servicer, if applicable, or (b) the acquisition or disposition of title to the related Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or otherwise, and then in each case shall only be paid to the extent of such repurchase price or recovery.

(d) The Servicer’s obligations to make Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6.03(a) and (b) will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date for the remittance of all Liquidation Proceeds or other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property, subject to Section 6.03(c). With respect to any Mortgage Loans determined to be unrecoverable and whose Monthly Payments are omitted from the scheduled monthly remittance, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to Owner setting forth the basis of such determination.

Section 6.04 Compensating Interest.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall from its own funds deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, that exist in respect of the related Principal Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate of the Servicing Fees for the most recently ended calendar month.

If for any reason the Servicer fails to process any principal prepayment on a timely basis in accordance with Section 4.04(i), the Servicer shall from its own funds deposit in the Custodial Account, interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate on the principal prepayment for the period the deposit into the Custodial Account was delayed.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE

Section 7.01 Assumption Agreements.

If the Servicer acquires actual knowledge that a Mortgagor has transferred or proposes to transfer the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall enforce any related “due-on-sale” clause consistent with its practices for mortgage loans it services for its own account. If the Servicer elects not to enforce such due-on-sale clause, the Servicer may enter into an assumption agreement with the party to whom such Mortgaged Property is to be or has been conveyed. If any assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of such fee up to an amount equal to 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan as additional servicing compensation, and shall deposit into the Custodial Account any portion thereof that exceeds 1% of such outstanding principal balance.

Section 7.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan and deposit of such payment by Servicer into the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04, the Servicer shall execute any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by Owner or the Custodian. Upon receipt of such request, the related mortgage documents shall be released to the Servicer within seventy-two (72) hours and the Servicer shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or Owner.

To the extent that Owner acts as its own custodian, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Owner shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to Owner of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage File held by Owner to the Servicer. Owner shall promptly deliver the request to return the related Mortgage documents to the Custodian. The Servicer shall return the Mortgage documents to Owner 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 into the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially.

Section 7.03 Servicing Compensation.

In addition to any other fees to which Servicer is entitled hereunder, as compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee payable with respect to

The Servicer shall be entitled to recover accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by Section 4.05. The Servicer’s right to the Servicing Fee shall not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement. Servicing compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee, in the form of assumption fees as provided in Section 7.01, interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account to the extent permitted by Section 4.06, default interest in excess of the Mortgage Interest Rate and late payment charges and other ancillary fees, in each case to the extent collected, shall be retained by the Servicer and shall not be required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

(b) Unless a Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation is delivered as provided in Section 13.05, on or before April 1 of each year, beginning with April 1 of the calendar year after the year in which the first Closing Date occurs, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants (which may also render other services to the Servicer) to furnish a report to Owner to the effect that certain mortgage loans serviced by the Servicer were included in the total population of Mortgage Loans subject to selection for testing in such firm’s examination of certain documents and records, that such examination was conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers and that such examination disclosed no items of material noncompliance with the provisions of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, except for such items of noncompliance as shall be set forth in such report.

Section 7.05 Owner’s Right to Examine the Servicer Records.

Owner shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable prior written notice, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which may be relevant

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

Any successor appointed as provided in this Section 12.01 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.

pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01, 11.01, or 12.04 shall not affect any claims that Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for amounts the Servicer actually expended pursuant to this Agreement which the Servicer is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

ARTICLE XIII

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 13.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XIII 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), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Owner, such Master Servicer 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 13.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.

Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(ii) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 13.04 or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(iii) The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

3. Section 4.18, second sentence is revised to read as follows:

“All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its nominee, and held in trust for HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated May 1, 2007.”

5. The third full paragraph of Section 6.01 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following (second deleted in two places before Business Day):

“With respect to any remittance received by Owner on or after the Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A., New York, New York, as its “prime” lending rate (which is not necessarily its lowest rate) (or if Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. shall cease to exist or to announce such rate, then such rate shall be a reasonably comparable rate determined by Servicer in its reasonable discretion), adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one (1) percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to Owner 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 such late payment.

6. Section 10.01 is revised to add an “or” after 10.01(vi) and then to add the following:

“(ii) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 13.04 or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner, the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.”
