Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section 3.2. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance is available and the Master Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in accordance with accepted mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts equal to the least of the amount in clause (i) above, clause (ii) above and the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

SECTION 3.5. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy rating of A:VIII or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Master Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 3.4, the Master Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 3.4, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.4, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 3.4 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner

Trustee or the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, claims under any such policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

SECTION 3.6. Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, in a minimum amount acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac or otherwise in an amount as is commercially available at a cost that is not generally regarded as excessive by industry standards, 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 (“Master Servicer Employees”). Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses, including losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Master Servicer Employees. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Master 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 3.6 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner Trustee or the Trustee a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy.

SECTION 3.7. Management and Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. On behalf of the Issuer, the Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Noteholders and the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Master Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer, 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 Master Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall cause to be deposited, no later than [three] Business Days after the receipt thereof, in the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall retain, or cause the Trustee to withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Master Servicer. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Master Servicer for cash at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid. The cash proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account, net of Foreclosure Profits and of any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Monthly Advances payable to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.3, for distribution to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership

Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default when no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.2. 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 issued to the Owner Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

SECTION 3.8. Trustee to Cooperate. Upon payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.1, if the related Assignment of Mortgage has been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Master Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Trustee is holding the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release, in the form approved by the Trustee signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Master Servicer, as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer. In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the related Assignment of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by the Master Servicer, execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Master Servicer (any such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only), and upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit or credit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive of Foreclosure Profits, received with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the assignee for collection shall promptly reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and return it to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

SECTION 3.9. Servicing Fee. The servicing fee for a Distribution Date shall equal the product of: (a) one-twelfth, (b) the Servicing Fee Rate and (c) the Pool Balance as of the first day of the preceding Due Period (the “Servicing Fee”). The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to all late payment charges and other administrative fees or similar charges, including without limitation, Foreclosure Profits, allowed by applicable law with respect to Mortgage Loans, collected (from whatever source) on the Mortgage Loans (the “Supplemental Servicing Fee”). The Master Servicer also shall be entitled to and may retain from Collections the Servicing Fee, as provided herein. The Master Servicer, in its discretion at its election, may defer receipt of all or any portion of the Servicing Fee or Supplemental Servicing Fee for any Due Period to and until a later Due Period for any reason, including in order to avoid a shortfall

in any payments due on any Notes or Certificates. Any such deferred amount shall be payable to (or may be retained from subsequent collections by) the Master Servicer on demand.

SECTION 3.10. Master Servicer’s Certificate. On each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Initial Beneficial Holder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Master Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 4.6 for the Due Period preceding the date of such Master Servicer’s Certificate. Mortgage Loans to be purchased by the Master Servicer or to be repurchased by the Initial Beneficial Holder shall be identified by the Master Servicer by account number with respect to such Mortgage Loan (as specified in Exhibit A).

SECTION 3.11. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.

(a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Trustee, on or before of each year beginning [ ], 200[ ], an Officers’ Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that: (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding twelve-month period (or, in the case of the first such report, during the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 200[ ]) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall send a copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 3.10 to the Rating Agencies. A copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 3.10 may be obtained by any Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office (as defined in the Trust Agreement) or by any Noteholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office. Upon the telephone request of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee will promptly furnish the Owner Trustee a list of Noteholders as of the date specified by the Owner Trustee.

(b) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than [five] Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officers’ Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 7.1(a) or (b).

SECTION 3.12. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Report. The Master Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Master Servicer or the Initial Beneficial Holder, to deliver to the Initial Beneficial Holder, the Owner Trustee and the Trustee on or before of each year beginning [ ], 200[ ], a letter addressed to the Master Servicer, the Initial Beneficial Holder, the Owner Trustee and the Trustee and each Rating Agency, to the effect that such firm has with respect to the Master Servicer’s overall servicing operations examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers during the preceding calendar year (or, in the case of the first such report, during the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 200[ ]), and stating such firm’s conclusions relating thereto. Such report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the Master Servicer within the

meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

SECTION 3.13. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Certificateholders and Noteholders access to the Mortgage Files in such cases where the Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation as demonstrated by evidence satisfactory to the Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.13 shall affect the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access to information as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13.

SECTION 3.14. Master Servicer Expenses. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Master Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Certificateholders and Noteholders.

SECTION 3.15. Advances by the Master Servicer.

(a) Not later than the close of business on the [second] Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account an amount, to be distributed on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.4(d), equal to the sum of (a) the interest accrued on each Mortgage Loan at the Mortgage Rate (or at such lower rate as may be in effect for such Mortgage Loan pursuant to application of the Civil Relief Act and/or any Debt Service Reduction) through the related Due Date, but not received as of the close of business on the Determination Date for such Distribution Date (net of the Servicing Fee) and (b) with respect to each REO Property which was acquired during or prior to the related Due Period and as to which a final disposition did not occur during the related Due Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of interest on the Principal Balance of such REO Property at the Net Rate for the most recently ended Due Period prior to the related Determination Date for the related Mortgage Loan over the net income from the REO Property transferred to the Collection Account for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.4; such sum being defined herein as the “Monthly Advance.” The Master Servicer may fund all or a portion of the Monthly Advance with respect to the Mortgage Loans by instructing the Trustee on such Determination Date to use funds deposited in the Collection Account which are not part of the Total Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date; provided that if such funds are so used the Master Servicer shall replace such funds on or before any subsequent Determination Date on which such funds are required to be part of the Total Distribution Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance or Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if the Master Servicer determines that

such Servicing Advance or Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

SECTION 3.16. Superior Liens. The Master Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) of record a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First Lien for the protection of the Issuer’s interest, where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption. If the Master Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Master Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien, if the Master Servicer reasonably believes such advance is in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall not make such an advance except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the advance would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 3.17. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting fire and hazard insurance coverage. With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer maintains escrow accounts, the Master 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 guaranty insurance premiums, if any, 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 any escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Master 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 Master Servicer shall, if it has received notice of a default or deficiency, monitor such payments to determine if they are made by the Mortgagor.

SECTION 3.18. Appointment of Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer may at any time appoint a sub-servicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided further that the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such sub-servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The fees and expenses of the sub-servicer shall be as agreed between the Master Servicer and its sub-servicer from time to

time and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor.
