It is expressly understood that the provisions of this letter shall only apply to the Sub-serviced Mortgage Loans.

The General Servicing Fee is payable solely from the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.02 of the OSSA) of such Monthly Payment collected by the Servicer, or as otherwise provided under the OSSA or this letter.
General Servicing Fee Rate: 0.50% per annum.
Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount: With respect to any Remittance Date, for each Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan that was subject to a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full or in part during the related Principal Prepayment Period (other than Principal Prepayments relating to a repurchase of the Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan by the Seller or any other Person), which Principal Prepayment was applied to such Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan prior to such Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan’s Due Date in the succeeding Principal Prepayment Period, the amount of interest (net the related General Servicing Fee for Principal Prepayments in full only) that would have accrued on the amount of such Principal Prepayment during the period commencing on the date as of which such Principal Prepayment was applied to such Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan and ending on the last day of the related Principal Prepayment Period. The Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, with respect to each Sub-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum amount per month equal to the General Servicing Fee for such month for such Sub-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
Seller Remittance Amount: With respect to each Due Period and any Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan, an amount equal to one-twelfth the product of (a) the Seller Remittance Rate and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan as of the related Determination Date. The Seller Remittance Amount with respect to any Due Period shall not be reduced by the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to the Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan. The obligation of the Servicer to pay the Seller Remittance Amount with respect to a Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan is limited to, and the Seller Remittance Amount is payable solely from the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.02 of the OSSA) of the Monthly Payments collected by the Servicer with respect to such Sub-serviced Mortgage Loan, or as otherwise provided under the OSSA.
