The Seller, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby contract with the Servicer as an independent contractor, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Servicer the Servicing Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan in order to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no liability for any Servicing Files (or portions thereof) not delivered by the Seller. The Servicer’s possession of any portion of the Mortgage Loan documents shall be at the will of the Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Servicing File shall be vested in the Trustee and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in the Trustee and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of the Trustee in such custodial capacity only. The portion of each Servicing File retained by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 2.02.
Books and Records.
All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans shall be vested in the Trustee, subject to the Servicer’s right to service and administer the Mortgage Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall forward to the related Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 3.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide such Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 120 days of its submission for recordation.
ARTICLE III.
SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01.
Servicer to Service.
The Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans from and after the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of a Subservicer or Subcontractor, 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, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans through the exercise of the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides (special servicing option), which include but are not limited to provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the parties hereto. The Servicer shall be responsible for any and all acts of a Subservicer or Subcontractor and the Servicer’s utilization of such Subservicer or Subcontractor shall in no way relieve the liability of the Servicer under this Agreement.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Trust Fund; provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate (except for modifications relating to Relief Act Reductions), defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification that permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, make a Monthly Advance in accordance with Section 4.03, in an amount equal to the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 3.04. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trustee, 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, provided that upon the full release or discharge, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian of such full release or discharge. Upon the reasonable request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents, furnished to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney unless such actions of the Servicer are performed at, and in accordance with, the written direction of the Trustee. Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in its own name, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.
The Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceedings solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Servicer’s, representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall accurately and fully report its borrower credit files related to the Mortgage Loans to Equifax, Transunion and Experian in a timely manner.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it would employ and exercise in servicing and administering similar 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.
Section 3.02.
Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously from the Closing Date until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable, shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account, 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 3.03.
Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing similar mortgage loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within 120 days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trustee, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. 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 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer 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. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 3.01 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 for other institutional investors under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of the Trust Fund, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 3.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer (who will notify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) in writing of the Servicer’s intention to do so, and the Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Master Servicer objects to such action within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice. In such connection, the Servicer shall be responsible for advancing all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.04.
Section 3.04.
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 “Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx Mortgage Corp. in trust for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for TBW Mortgage-Backed Trust, 2006-1.” The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.04. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit B hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Master Servicer no later than 30 days after the Closing Date.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis and retain therein the following payments and collections received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i)

(vi)
all Condemnation Proceeds that are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or Accepted Servicing Practices;
(vii)
any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement;
(viii)
with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution.

(ix)
all Monthly Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03;
(x)
any amounts received from TBW as seller of the Mortgage Loans or any other person giving representations and warranties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan;
(xi)
any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy;
(xii)
any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property or REO Disposition Proceeds;
(xiii)
any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 in connection with any unpaid claims that are a result of a breach by the Servicer or any Subservicer of the obligations hereunder or under the terms of a PMI Policy; and
(xiv)
any amounts received by the Servicer under a PMI or LPMI Policy.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of the late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 5.03, need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04.
Section 3.05.
Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.
The Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
(i)
to make payments to the Master Servicer in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii)
in the event the Servicer has elected not to retain the Servicing Fee out of any Mortgagor payments on account of interest or other recovery of interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan (including late collections of interest on such Mortgage Loan, or interest portions of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) prior to the deposit of such Mortgagor payment or recovery in the Custodial Account, to pay to itself the related Servicing Fee from all such Mortgagor payments on account of interest or other such recovery for interest with respect to that Mortgage Loan;
(iii)
following the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds and other amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to such Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Trust Fund;

(v)
to reimburse itself for remaining unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has determined that all amounts that it expects to recover on behalf of the Trust Fund from or on account of such Mortgage Loan have been recovered;
(vi)
to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;
(vii)
to transfer funds to another Eligible Institution in accordance with Section 3.11;
(viii)
to withdraw funds deposited in error;
(ix)
to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and
(x)
to make payments in respect of the premiums due, if any, on the LPMI Policies, if applicable.
Section 3.06.
Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Xxxxxx, Bean & Xxxxxxxx Mortgage Corp., in trust for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for TBW Mortgage-Backed Trust, Series 2006-1.” The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Deposit Accounts established with an Eligible Institution. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.06. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit C hereto. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Master Servicer no later than 30 days after the Closing Date.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within one (1) Business Day of the Servicer’s receipt, and retain therein:
(i)
all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii)
all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section 3.07.
Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only:
(i)
to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums (if applicable), fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium charges or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii)
to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
(iii)
to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
to the extent permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

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

to withdraw funds deposited in error;
(viii)
to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement;
(ix)
to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 3.04; and
(x)
to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts and shall be obligated to make Servicing Advances to the Escrow Accounts in respect of its obligations under this Section 3.06, reimbursable from the Escrow Accounts or Custodial Account to the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or that the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within ten Business Days of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.08.
Notification of Adjustments.
With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, 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 and Monthly Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment 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 Seller thereby.
Section 3.09.
[Reserved.]
Section 3.10.
Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
(a)
With respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other escrowed that which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance 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) (each such charge, a “Property Charge”) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
(b)
To the extent that a Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect payment of all Property Charges upon receipt of notice of any failure to pay on the part of the Mortgagor, or at such other time as the Servicer determines to be in the best interest of the Trust Fund, provided that in any event the Servicer shall pay such charges on or before the earlier of (a) any date by which payment is necessary to preserve the lien status of the Mortgage or (b) the date that is 90 days after the date on which such charges first became due. The Servicer shall pay any late fee or penalty that is payable due to any delay in payment of any Property Charge after the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the Servicer receives notice of the failure of the Mortgagor to pay such Property Charge or (b) the date that is 90 days after the date on that such charges first became due.
Section 3.11.
Protection of Accounts.
The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time and shall give notice to the Master Servicer of any change in the location of the Custodial Account no later than 30 days after any such transfer is made and deliver to the Master Servicer, upon request, a certification notice in the form of Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable, with respect to such Eligible Account; provided, however, that in the event the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall transfer such Custodial Account or Escrow Account, as the case may be, to an account that is an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Master Servicer or the Trustee if the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.
Section 3.12.
Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines 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 replacement value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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 acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac in an amount representing coverage equal to the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae 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 45 days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
If a Mortgage Loan 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, at a minimum, the then-current Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements.
It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union 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 are Qualified Insurers. 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 furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.
Pursuant to Section 3.03, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that any such indemnified party may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Mortgagor (or the Servicer) to maintain hazard insurance or flood insurance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property which complies with the requirements of this section.
Section 3.13.
Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and/or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.11 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.11, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.11. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.11, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such person a certificate of insurance 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Section 3.14.
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 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 3.13 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 the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ & Servicers’ Guide, or as otherwise acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such party a certificate of insurance for 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee within five business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.
Section 3.15.
Maintenance of PMI and/or LPMI Policy; Claims.
(a)
The Servicer shall comply with all provisions of applicable state and federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with respect to, PMI Policies, including but not limited to the provisions of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time. The Servicer shall be obligated to make premium payments with respect to PMI Policies required to be maintained by the Mortgagor rather than the Seller, if the Mortgagor is required but fails to pay any PMI Policy premium, which shall be paid from the Servicer’s own funds. The Servicer shall not be required to make any premium payments with respect to LPMI Policies. Any premium payments made by the Servicer from its own funds pursuant to this Section 3.16(a) shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 3.05(iii).
With respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan (other than LPMI Loans) with a loan-to-value ratio at origination in excess of 80%, the Servicer shall maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) in full force and effect a PMI Policy, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the loan-to-value of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less or the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. The Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss that, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreements entered into or to be entered into with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all actions that may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
(b)
With respect to each Mortgage Loan covered by a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, the Servicer shall take all such actions on behalf of the Trustee as are necessary to service, maintain and administer the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with such Policy and to enforce the rights under such Policy. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the Trust Fund to do anything it deems appropriate or desirable in connection with the servicing, maintenance and administration of such Policy, provided that the Servicer shall not take any action to permit any modification or assumption of a Mortgage Loan covered by an LPMI Policy or PMI Policy, or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage Loan, that would result in non-coverage under such Policy of any loss which, but for actions of any Servicer or the Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. If the Qualified Insurer fails to pay a claim under an LPMI Policy or PMI Policy solely as a result of a breach by the Servicer or Subservicer of its obligations hereunder or under such Policy, the Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Custodial Account on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date an amount equal to such unpaid claim from its own funds without any rights to reimbursement from the Trust Fund. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Qualified Insurers and shall furnish all reasonable evidence and information in the possession of the Servicer to which the Servicer has access with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.
(c)
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(xiv), subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.
(d)
Upon request by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents (within three Business Days upon request from the Servicer) in form as provided to it by the Servicer (and mutually acceptable to the Trustee and the Servicer) necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer any PMI or LPMI Policy; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such power of attorney unless such actions of the Servicer are performed at, and in accordance with, the written direction of the Trustee.
(e)
Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, the Servicer shall not take any action in regard to any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy inconsistent with the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders or with the rights and interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement.
Section 3.16.
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or other method resulting in full or partial satisfaction of the related Mortgage, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee 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 Servicer from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Trustee. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder.
The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, together with a copy of the drive-by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 3.16.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. 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 cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Master Servicer. 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 Trustee and the Certificateholders.
The Servicer also shall maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required in Section 3.12.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provide a copy of the same to the Master Servicer) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension (and provided a copy of the same to the Master Servicer), then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund, or if the Servicer has received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Servicer that would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, prior to acceptance by the Servicer of an offer to sell any REO Property for a sale price that is less than 90% of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such offering in writing which notification shall set forth all material terms of said offer (each a “Notice of Sale”). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless it notifies the Servicer in writing within five Business Days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall not proceed with such sale.
The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to this Section or Section 4.03.
The Servicer shall make advances of all funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10, such advances to be reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property. The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Master Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 3.18 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
Section 3.17.
Real Estate Owned Reports.
Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer on or before the Remittance Date in each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as either the Master Servicer shall reasonably request.
Section 3.18.
Liquidation Reports.
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Trustee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer a report setting forth Servicing Advances and other expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.19.
Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code.
Section 3.20.
Prepayment Penalties.
The Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan containing a Prepayment Penalty that prepays during the term of the charge. If the Servicer or its designee fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty, the Servicer shall pay the Trust Fund at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to amount of the Prepayment Penalty that was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (ii)(b) and (c) below) a Prepayment Penalty without paying the Trust Fund the amount of the Prepayment Penalty if (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more delinquent) and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the prepayment is not a result of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (a) the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (b) the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws or (c) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, in any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure.
Section 3.21.
Confidentiality/Protecting Customer Information.
Each party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer Information shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Information including, if applicable, maintaining security measures designed to meet the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 and complying with the privacy regulations under Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq., and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.21, “Customer Information” means any personal information concerning a Mortgagor that is disclosed by one party to this Agreement to the other.
Section 3.22.
Credit Reporting.
For each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer has and shall continue to accurately and fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to each of the following credit repositories: Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information Solution, Inc., on a monthly basis.
Section 3.23.
Notification of Maturity Date.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date, if required under applicable law.
ARTICLE IV.

With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver by the Trustee or the Master Servicer of any Event of Default.

Statements to Master Servicer.
(a)
Not later than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer an electronic monthly remittance advice in such format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer), such advice relating to the period ending on the last day of the preceding calendar month, and a monthly loan loss report in the format set forth in Exhibit E hereto; provided, however, the information provided pursuant to Exhibit E shall be limited to that which is readily available to the Servicer and is mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Master Servicer. The format of this monthly reporting may be amended from time to time to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law. In connection with prepayments in full, the Servicer will use its best efforts to deliver to the Master Servicer by the 15th calendar day of each month, but in no event later than the 17th day of each month, a monthly payoff remittance advice.
Such monthly remittance advice shall also be accompanied by a supplemental report provided to the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Seller that includes on an aggregate basis for the previous Due Period (i) the amount of claims filed on any LPMI Policy, (ii) the amount of any claim payments made on any LPMI Policy, (iii) the amount of claims denied or curtailed on any LPMI Policy and (iv) policies cancelled with respect to those Mortgage Loans covered by any LPMI Policy purchased by the Seller on behalf of the Trust Fund.
(b)
The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all usual and customary tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority, the Trust Administrator or its designee pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Trust Administrator to prepare federal income tax returns as the Trust Administrator may reasonably request from time to time. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information has been provided by the Servicer throughout the calendar year.
(c)
If requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Depositor (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Servicer of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB and (ii) if the Servicer shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate of any of the parties listed on Exhibit I to this Agreement.
For the purpose of satisfying the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to the issuance of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor prompt notice of the occurrence of any of the following: any event of default under the terms of this Agreement; any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Servicer; the Servicer’s engagement of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or vendor to perform or assist in the performance of any of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement; any material litigation involving the Servicer; and any affiliation or other significant relationship between the Servicer and other transaction parties.
(d)
Not later than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor notice of the occurrence of any material modifications, extensions or waivers of terms, fees, penalties or payments relating to the Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period.
Section 4.03.
Monthly Advances by Servicer.
On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) that were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and that were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and shall provide such records to the Master Servicer upon reasonable request.
The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.04.
Due Dates Other Than the First of the Month.
Mortgage Loans having Due Dates other than the first day of a month shall be accounted for as described in this Section 4.04. Any payment due on a day other than the first day of each month shall be considered due on the first day of the month following the month in which that payment is due as if such payment were due on the first day of said month. For example, a payment due on January 15 shall be considered to be due on February 1 of said month. Any payment collected on a Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date shall be deposited in the Custodial Account. For Mortgage Loans with Due Dates on the first day of a month, deposits to the Custodial Account begin with the payment due on the first of the month following the Cut-off Date.
ARTICLE V.
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 5.01.
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; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into (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 seller of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the seller of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, such fee shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, none of the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan or 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 that are used by the Servicer, its affiliates or Xxxxxx Xxx 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5.01 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 5.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Section 5.02.
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 Master Servicer in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 4.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Seller in accordance with this Section 5.02. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Seller, the Trustee or the Trust Fund may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer shall deposit into the Custodial Account the entire outstanding principal balance, plus all accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan, on the day preceding the Remittance Date in the month following the date of such release. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy as provided for in Section 3.13 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 5.03.
Servicing Compensation.
As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall retain the relevant Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan remaining subject to this Agreement during any month or part thereof. Such Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 5.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer and is not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The obligation of the Seller to pay 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) of such Monthly Payment collected by the Servicer. The aggregate Servicing Fees for any month with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount for such month. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unpaid Servicing Fee, to the extent not remitted, out of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or other amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account, to the extent permitted in Section 3.04 and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.17.
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 5.04.
Servicer Compliance Statement..
On or before March 1st of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a Servicing Officer’s certificate in the form of Exhibit J hereto, addressed to the Master Servicer and the Depositor and signed by an authorized Servicing Officer, to the effect that (i) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement during such period has been made under such Servicing Officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof.
Section 5.05.

(iii)
cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04(c) to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section; and
(iv)
if requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor not later than February 28th of the calendar year in which such certification is to be delivered, deliver to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”)) on behalf of the Trust Fund with respect to the transaction relating to this Agreement a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.
The Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (a)(iv) above may rely on the certification provided by the Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Depositor will request delivery of a certification under clause (a)(iv) above unless a Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

(iii)
The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer (or any designee of the Master Servicer, such as a master servicer) and the Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Master Servicer (or such designee) or the 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 Master Servicer or the Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
Section 6.04.
Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the 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 Master Servicer or the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the transaction relating to this Agreement, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Master Servicer to deliver to the Master Servicer (including any of its assignees or designees) and the Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Master Servicer or the Depositor to permit the Master Servicer or the 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 Master Servicer or the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
The Master Servicer (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 Master Servicer’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
ARTICLE VII.
THE SERVICER
Section 7.01.
Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a national banking association, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000, and (ii) which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- and Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer in good standing.
Section 7.02.
Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.
Section 7.03.
Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer.
This Agreement has been entered into with the Servicer in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, except as expressly provided in this Section 7.03 and Sections 3.20, 7.01 and 7.04, the Servicer shall neither assign its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, which consent, in the case of an assignment of rights or delegation of duties, shall be granted or withheld in the discretion of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee which consent, in the case of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Servicer, shall not be unreasonably withheld by any of them, provided that in each case, there must be delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may retain a Subservicer or Subcontractor to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions; provided that the retention of such Subservicers or Subcontractors by Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of them. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 8.01.
Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, except to the extent permitted by and in accordance with this Section 7.03 and Sections 7.01 and 7.04, without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, then such parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 8.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately upon receipt by any Subservicer of such payments. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.04 and with Sections 4.02(c), 5.04, 5.05(a), 5.05(b) (and shall amend, with the consent of the parties hereto, Exhibit H to reflect such Subservicer’s assessment and attestation of compliance with the Servicing Criteria), 6.01(l) and 6.03 and Exhibit H of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Master Servicer and the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 5.04, any reports on assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 5.05 and any certification required to be delivered under 5.05 to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 5.05 as and when required to be delivered hereunder.
(c)
It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide the Master Servicer and the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (A) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (B) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are Participating Entities, and (C) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (B) of this paragraph.
As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Participating Entity, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.02(c), 5.04, 5.05, 6.01(l) and 6.03 and Exhibit H of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections 5.04 and 5.05, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever rights the Master Servicer or the Trustee may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the Servicer, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the servicing contract established hereby and the proceeds thereof. The rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to subparagraphs (a)(ii) and (iii) above shall not be terminated if a failure of the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor as a Participating Entity was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
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 a successor servicer appointed by the Master Servicer with the consent of the Trustee. Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Master Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
If any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.
By a written notice, the Master Servicer, with the consent of the other parties, may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 8.02.
Termination Without Cause.
This Agreement shall terminate upon: (i) the later of (a) the distribution of the final payment or Liquidation Proceeds on the last Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer (or advances by the Servicer for the same), and (b) the disposition of all REO Property acquired upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, or (ii) mutual consent of the Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator in writing, provided such termination is also acceptable to the Rating Agencies or (iii) at the sole option of the Seller, without cause, upon 60 days written notice. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 9.04 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall comply with the termination procedures set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 9.01.
In the event the Seller terminates the Servicer without cause, the Seller shall be required to pay to the Servicer a Termination Fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Termination Fee Percentage and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the terminated Mortgage Loans as of the date of such termination.
ARTICLE IX.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 9.01.
Successor to the Servicer.
Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement (a) pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02(ii), the Master Servicer shall (i) within 90 days of the Servicer’s notice of such termination, succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement; or (b) pursuant to a termination under Section 8.02(iii) or Section 8.04, the Seller shall appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer. Any approval of a successor servicer by the Master Servicer and, to the extent required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, shall, if the successor servicer is not at that time a servicer of other Mortgage Loans for the Trust Fund, be conditioned upon the receipt by the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 6.01 and the remedies available to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Seller under Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor servicer, nor any other successor servicer shall be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that are not transferred to it by the Servicer and that it cannot otherwise obtain through reasonable efforts.
Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 90 days following notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02(iii) or 30 days following notice of termination pursuant to Sections 8.01 or 8.02(ii), the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer of any Mortgage Notes and the related documents. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Seller, as applicable, and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor Servicer, including without limitation the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Seller an instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 and provide for the same remedies set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 herein and (ii) an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under this Agreement, 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. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01, 8.02 or 8.04 shall not affect any claims that the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation. In addition, in the event any successor servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 8.02(iii) of this Agreement, such successor servicer must satisfy the conditions relating to the transfer of servicing set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Loan documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.
Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, it shall notify the Trustee, the Seller, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.04.
Section 9.02.
Costs.
The Servicer shall pay the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys. Costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the servicing responsibilities, including fees for delivering Servicing Files, shall be paid by (i) the terminated or resigning servicer if such termination or resignation is a result of an occurrence of a termination event under Section 8.01, (ii) the Seller if such termination is pursuant to Section 8.02(iii) and (iii) in all other cases by the Trust Fund. Subject to Section 2.02, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, shall pay the costs associated with the preparation, delivery and recording of Assignments of Mortgages by the Seller or the Seller’s designee.
Section 9.03.
Protection of Confidential Information.
The Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Seller’s prior written consent, any nonpublic information pertaining to the Mortgage Loans or any borrower thereunder, except to the extent that it is appropriate for the Servicer to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies.

Severability Clause.
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is as close as possible to the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
Section 9.06.
No Personal Solicitation.
From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer hereby agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Servicer’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the borrower or obligor under any related Mortgage Loan to refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any affiliate of the Servicer that are directed to the general public at large, including without limitation mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 9.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 9.06 shall not prohibit the Servicer or its agents or affiliates from servicing the refinancing needs or other financial needs of a Mortgagor who without solicitation, contacts the Servicer or its agents or affiliates directly.
Section 9.07.
Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 9.08.
Place of Delivery and Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Seller in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New York.

Section 9.11.
Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Servicing Agreement.

Section 9.13.
Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Seller, with (i) the prior written consent and agreement signed by the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer, provided that the party requesting such amendment shall, at its own expense, provide the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Seller with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment will not materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any the interest of the Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans if the Trustee and the Trust Administrator receive written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify or withdraw the then current rating assigned to the Certificates (and any Opinion of Counsel received by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Seller in connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor); provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended by the Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee from time to time without the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel described above to the extent necessary, in the judgment of the Seller and its counsel, to comply with any rules promulgated by the Commission and any interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission.
