The Owner may request the Servicer to Service certain additional Mortgage Loans from time to time acquired by it through bulk acquisitions or other means, and each such request shall be evidenced by execution of a separate Acknowledgment Agreement (including a related Mortgage Loan Schedule) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

2.02 [Reserved.]

2.03 Exclusive Right to Service. Subject to the termination provisions set forth in Section 9, the Servicer shall have the exclusive right to Service the Mortgage Loans from and after the related Closing Date and during the term of this Agreement, unless Servicer expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

2.04 [Reserved].

2.05 Delivery of Powers of Attorney. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

2.06 Record Title to Mortgage Loans. Record title to the Mortgage Loans shall be retained by the Owner or its designee. The ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, is vested in the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner as the Owner of the Mortgage Loans.

2.07 Books and Records. The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership by the Owner of each Mortgage Loan.

2.08 Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall keep at its Servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any Person but the Owner with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans unless the books and records show such Person as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of a written notice from the Owner of the assignment of any Mortgage Loans and this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such assignee, and the previous Owner shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations relate to Mortgage Loans sold by the Owner. Except as set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 2.08 or in Section 9, all Mortgage Loan transfers shall be subject to and Serviced pursuant to this Agreement or as mutually agreed upon by the parties as evidenced by The Service Release and Transfer of Ownership Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H.

(b) The Owner shall have the right at any time to transfer (i) one or more Mortgage Loans without assigning this Agreement to a successor Owner or (ii) the servicing with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans. In connection with any such transfer, the terms of this Agreement shall no longer govern the servicing of such Mortgage Loans from and after the Servicing Transfer Date and Section 9.02 shall apply to any such transfer.

SECTION 3. SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

3.01 Servicer to Service.

(a) The Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall administer the Mortgage Loans from and after the related Closing Date and shall be responsible for Servicing the Mortgage Loans as of the related Closing Date, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such Servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices, including (without limitation) the execution and delivery, on behalf of itself and the Owner, (i) of all agreements and instruments of subordination, of satisfaction, discharge or cancellation, and of partial or full release; and (ii) of all other comparable agreements and instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer may take any and all actions relative to the Servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans that are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that all Distressed Mortgage Loans shall be transferred by the Owner when a Mortgage Loan is 90 days delinquent. In the event the Owner chooses to have the Servicer service Distressed Mortgage Loans, the Owner Servicing Guidelines shall be mutually agreed upon between the Servicer and the Owner pursuant to a side agreement. The Servicer shall provide the Owner the reports described on Schedule I, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, 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 could be in the best interest of the Owner. The Servicer shall not take any such action if that action will cause a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(3) of the Code.

(c) The Servicer shall not waive any prepayment charge in full or in part unless such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such prepayment charge and the related Mortgage Loan, and doing so is standard and customary practice in Servicing similar Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Servicer may waive a prepayment charge on any Mortgage Loan in full or in part if the Servicer has determined, in its reasonable business judgment and in connection with the conduct of its business in accordance with applicable requirements, that the prepayment charge should be waived. If such waiver is primarily for the benefit of the Servicer, the waived amount of such prepayment charge shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement, therefor. The Servicer shall administer the enforcement and collection of all prepayment charges in accordance with the related mortgage documents or applicable state or federal law and shall provide to the related Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to them in connection therewith.

Servicer’s enforcement and administration of prepayment charges shall, where legally possible, be in accordance with Schedule III, attached hereto and incorporated herein; provided, however, the Servicer shall confirm that the related prepayment charge listed on Schedule III matches the prepayment change in the Mortgage Note prior to enforcing such prepayment charge and shall act in accordance with the Mortgage Note in the event of a discrepancy. Said Schedule III shall be compiled and provided by the Owner to the Servicer, on or prior to the related Closing Date, and shall set forth each type of prepayment penalty provision found in the Mortgage Loans and the method to be used by Servicer for calculating each such provision. Where an electronically transferable file contains insufficient data, or no data, to calculate any applicable prepayment penalty or other contractual charge, fee or penalty, Transfer of such file may be accomplished only by Manual Boarding. In such case, and if such data cannot be obtained from Schedule III, Owner shall be given a reasonable opportunity, not to exceed three business days from the discovery of the deficiency, to interpret the applicable prepayment penalty or other contractual charge, fee or penalty provision, and to inform Servicer of such interpretation. Should Owner fail to provide such interpretation to Servicer within the allotted time period, the Servicer shall make a good faith effort to accurately review the applicable Mortgage Loan documents and interpret the applicable prepayment penalty or other contractual charge, fee or penalty provision. Similarly, if Owner fails to provide Schedule III on or prior to the related Closing Date, Servicer shall enforce, administer and collect such prepayment charges in accordance to the policies and procedures it applies to similar Mortgage Loans serviced for its own account. Servicer may rely on any data provided by Owner on Schedule III or otherwise, and, in the event Owner has failed to timely provide such data to Servicer, Servicer may rely on its own interpretations made on behalf of Owner as set forth above.

The Servicer is authorized, without the prior approval of the Owner, to consent to the refinancing of any Superior Lien on Mortgaged Property, provided that (i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; (ii) the interest rate, or in the case of any Superior Lien which is an adjustable rate mortgage loan, the applicable Maximum Rate which can be charged under the related mortgage note is no more than 2.00% higher than the interest rate or the Maximum Rate, as the case may be, on the mortgage loan evidencing the existing Superior Lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing and (iii) the mortgage loan evidencing the Superior Lien is not subject to negative amortization.

3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Notification of Adjustments. The Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and with respect to Escrow Mortgage Loans only, 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.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate 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. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds, without any right to reimbursement, the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Owner thereby.

3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan 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 (1) as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Owner (which shall include, but not be limited to, Mortgage Loan liquidation and short sales) and (2) that is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as it customarily employs with respect to mortgage loans Serviced for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices, including, without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums. During this period and in the administration of such defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall be responsible for making all customary Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will the Servicer make a Servicing Advance if it determines, using Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an officer’s certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Owner. Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to such defaulted Mortgage Loans from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 herein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes or if the Mortgage Property poses any type of environmental risks or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector, the Servicer shall cause such inspection to occur solely at the expense of the Owner. If the Servicer shall advance or use its own money to effect such environmental inspection, the Servicer shall reimburse itself from the Collection Account. If the Collection Account fails to maintain sufficient funds to reimburse the Servicer, the Owner shall directly reimburse the Servicer of such advance within five (5) Business Days upon receipt of an invoice from the Servicer.

(c) Upon completion of an environmental inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with the environmental inspection report. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (i) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous, toxic substances or wastes or poses environmental risks of any kind, and (ii) the Owner directs the Servicer, in writing, to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 herein and in the event amounts in the Collection Account are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement directly from the Owner within five (5) Business Days upon receipt of an invoice from the Servicer. In the event the Owner directs the Servicer, in writing, not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 herein and in the event amounts in the Collection Account are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Owner.

3.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Collection 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 Collection Accounts, if necessary. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Collection Account may be withdrawn by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.05 herein. The creation of any Collection Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis in accordance with its Accepted Servicing Practices, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer on or after the related Closing Date through the Servicing Transfer Date:

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees or Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection 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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 herein. Additionally, any other benefit derived from the Collection Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage blanket insurance, and like sources, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, in accordance with its standard practice, 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 3.07 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall 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.

The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges 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. With respect to Non-Escrow Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first became due and that such Mortgage is not left uninsured and shall make advances from its own funds to effect any such delinquent payments to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property or to avoid the sale or other loss of the Mortgage Property to a tax lien. Such advances made by the Servicer shall be considered Servicing Advances subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3 herein.

3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer that conforms with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and Xxxxxxx Mac Guides against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are required to be insured pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or Xxxxxxx Mac Guides, in an amount which is at least equal to the least of: (i) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; or (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; or (iii) the amount determined by applicable federal or state law. If the Mortgagor fails to provide Mortgage Loan hazard insurance coverage after thirty (30) days of Servicer’s written notification, the Servicer may force place such hazard insurance coverage on the Mortgagor’s behalf. Any out-of-pocket expense or advance made by the Servicer on such force placed hazard insurance coverage shall be deemed a Servicing Advance.

If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) 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 an insurance carrier that meets the requirements of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FEMA 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 to obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. Any out-of-pocket expense or advance made by the Servicer on such force placed flood insurance coverage shall be deemed a Servicing Advance.

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

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

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least thirty (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 acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides and Xxxxxxx Mac Guides and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property, 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 conformance with Servicer’s standard practices; provided, however, that in the event that no such notice is furnished by the Servicer, the Servicer shall ensure that replacement insurance policies (whether forced placed or other insurance policies) are in place with the required coverage and the Servicer shall be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.

Pursuant to Section 3.04 of this Agreement, 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 the Servicer’s normal Servicing procedures as specified in Section 3.14 of this Agreement) shall be deposited in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy 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 3.10 of this Agreement and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10 of this Agreement, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10 of this Agreement. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account or Escrow Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.07 of this Agreement. 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 3.10 of this Agreement, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount shall be deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

3.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides.

3.13 Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved and which is both consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and with any requirements of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer.

3.14 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Servicer, or in the event the Servicer 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 Servicer shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Owner.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. 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, in the same locality as the REO Property is located and consistent with the Owner Servicing Guidelines. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage, liability insurance, and flood insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.09 and 3.10 hereof.

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 Owner. Prior to the disposition of the REO Property, the Owner may provide a valuation for the REO Property to the Servicer no later than three (3) Business Days after notification of the Owner by the Servicer. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, and on the Remittance Date immediately following the date on which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Collection Account shall be distributed to the Owner.

The Servicer shall advance funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard or Flood insurance pursuant to this Section 3.14 and the fees of any property manager appointed by the Servicer, shall be deemed “Servicing Advances.” The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Owner 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 3.14 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

3.15 Transfers of Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall 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; provided that, if the Servicer determines that a due-on-sale provision is not enforceable or that either a decision not to exercise the due-on-sale provision or a decision to permit an assumption of the Mortgage Loan is in the best interests of the Owner, it may, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if applicable, permit such conveyance of the Property without resort to the due-on-sale clause or permit such assumption, as applicable, with notice to the Owner.

3.16 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer may notify the Owner, which notification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04 herein have been or will be so deposited, and may request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. In addition, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any insurance policy, the Servicer may request delivery to it by Custodian of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such notification and request pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Owner shall request that the Custodian, within five (5) Business Days, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer. Should Servicer be called upon or elect to assist in obtaining any documents or information which may be missing from the Legal File, Owner shall be required to reimburse Servicer for any reasonable expense incurred by Servicer in providing that assistance, whether or not Servicer is ultimately successful in obtaining the missing information.

3.17 [Reserved.]

3.18 Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims.With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% for which a PMI Policy is both required and has been issued, the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Accepted Servicing Practices, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% of value, and shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the loan-to-value ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or PMI can otherwise no longer be mandated pursuant to applicable law. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall attempt to obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement, 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 which 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.

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 Owner 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 Owner 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 a LPMI or PMI Policy, or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which would result in non-coverage under such Policy of any loss which, but for actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall cooperate with the PMI 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. The Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, 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. Pursuant to Section 3.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.

In connection with the distribution of such prepayment, the Servicer shall provide to the Owner a report containing the mortgage loan number, the name of the Mortgagor and the amount of the distribution.

All distributions, including any distribution for prepayments in full, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor as directed in writing by the Owner or by check mailed to the address of the Owner.

Such interest shall be deposited in the Collection 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 Servicer’s obligation to make such P&I 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 Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances which the Servicer determines to be Nonrecoverable Advances. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Owner and detailing the reasons for such determination. The Servicer shall not be obligated to advance shortfalls of interest resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar state laws.

(b) Such P&I Advance shall be made by the Servicer either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

In the event that this Agreement should be terminated by the Owner for cause or by Owner without cause (but not in the event this Agreement should be terminated by the Servicer for cause, unless Servicer specifically agrees otherwise in writing), and if the Owner elects to appoint a Successor Servicer that agrees to succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement (which appointment must occur and be accepted by the Successor Servicer within thirty (30) days of the date of written notice of termination by either party to the other party), the termination shall not become effective until such Successor Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment pursuant to this Section. Any Successor Servicer appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such Successor Servicer shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the replaced Servicer with similar effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Owner nor such Successor Servicer shall assume, and the replaced Servicer shall indemnify the Owner and such Successor Servicer for, any and all liabilities arising out of the replaced Servicer’s acts as servicer. The Servicing Transfer Date shall be the same as the date of termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or 9 herein, or as soon as practicable after the date of termination to ensure compliance with any legally imposed requirements relating to servicing transfers in general. In connection with any transfer pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or any termination pursuant to Section 9, all unreimbursed Servicing Fees, P&I Advances, and Servicing Advances still owing the Servicer shall be deducted by the Servicer from the final remittance of funds to the Owner. To the extent that there are insufficient funds in the Collection Account to reimburse the Servicer for due and unpaid Servicing Fees, P&I Advances, and Servicing Advances, or if the Collection Account is no longer in the Servicer’s control, the Owner shall pay the amount of such shortfall to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days upon receipt of an invoice thereof.

The Servicer shall provide the Successor Servicer with copies of all such notices no later than the related Servicing Transfer Date.

(iii) Delivery of Servicing Records. The Servicer shall forward to the Successor Servicer, all Servicing records in the Servicer’s possession relating to each Mortgage Loan. Such delivery of hard copies of borrower history is an out-of-pocket expense and will be paid by the Owner.

The Servicer shall provide the Successor Servicer, with immediately available funds by wire transfer in the amount of the Escrow Account balance and suspense balances and all loss draft balances associated with the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall provide the Successor Servicer, with an accounting statement in electronic format mutually acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer, of Escrow Payments and suspense balances and loss draft balances sufficient to enable the Owner to reconcile the amount of such payment with the accounts of the Mortgage Loans. Additionally, the Servicer shall wire transfer to the Owner the amount of any agency, trustee or prepaid Mortgage Loan payments and all other similar amounts held by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall notify the Owner of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement shall be satisfied if the Servicer forwards with its payment sufficient information to permit appropriate processing of the payment by the Owner. The Servicer shall assume full responsibility for the necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments received by the Servicer after the Servicing Transfer Date with respect to related Mortgage Loans then in foreclosure or bankruptcy; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement, necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments shall include, but not be limited to, endorsement of a Monthly Payment to the Owner with the particulars of the payment such as the account number, dollar amount, date received and any special Mortgagor application instructions and the Servicer shall comply with the foregoing requirements with respect to all Monthly Payments received by the Servicer after the Servicing Transfer Date; provided, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any use of such Monthly Payments by the Owner if (i) the Servicer has met the sufficient payment information requirement above and (ii) Monthly Payment has been forwarded to the Owner as set forth above.

(B) The party receiving notice of a misapplied payment occurring prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date and discovered after the related Servicing Transfer Date shall immediately notify the other party in writing; and

(C) If a proven misapplied payment which occurred prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date cannot be identified and said misapplied payment has resulted in a shortage in a Collection Account or Escrow Account, the Servicer shall be liable for the amount of such shortage. The Servicer shall reimburse the Successor Servicer for the amount of such shortage within thirty (30) days upon receipt of written demand therefor from the Successor Servicer.

(ix) Books and Records. On the Servicing Transfer Date, the books, records and accounts of the Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall be maintained by the Servicer in accordance with all applicable Accepted Servicing Practices.

The Servicer shall prepare and file all IRS forms 1098, 1099 and other applicable forms and reports which are required to be filed hereunder with respect to the period prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date. The Servicer shall provide copies of such forms (as reasonably available to the Servicer) to the Owner upon request and shall reimburse the Owner for any costs or penalties incurred by the Owner due to the Servicer’s failure to comply with this paragraph. The Servicer shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any such reports with respect to any period commencing on or after the related Servicing Transfer Date.

(b) The Servicer shall not be obligated to deliver the Servicing Files to the Owner or Successor Servicer until and unless all such Servicing Advances shall have been reimbursed and all such Servicing Fees shall have been paid. In addition, if and to the extent that from and after the Servicing Transfer Date (or such earlier date through which Servicing Advances shall have been, for convenience, calculated and reimbursed) the Servicer should receive and pay bills (including, but not limited to, non-sufficient fund checks) for services properly rendered with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Property, then Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such additional payments within five (5) Business Days of the Servicer’s written request, directly from (i) the Collection Account, or (ii) if such Collection Account has insufficient funds to pay such additional payments or is no longer under the Servicer's control, the Successor Servicer, or (iii) if the Successor Servicer fails to pay such advances, the Owner.

(b) Servicer Indemnification. The Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless from and shall reimburse the Servicer for any losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses of any nature (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Servicer which arise out of or result from the Owner’s gross negligence or willful failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) The Owner shall defend and indemnify the Servicer, its employees, officers, affiliates, agents and representatives (the “Servicer Indemnified Parties”), against any and all Liability that the Servicer Indemnified Parties may sustain which are caused by or result from (directly or indirectly, in whole or in part):

(i) (A) the Servicer taking any action, or refraining from taking any action, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property at or in conformity with the express written direction of the Owner or this Agreement or (B) the Servicer taking and initiating any legal actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or taking title to any REO Properties on behalf of the Owner, in the name of the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof (in each case, unless such action or omission is taken with a standard of care in contravention of any standard of care required under the Agreement and such contravention is the proximate cause of the claim or action);

(ii) the refusal of the Owner or any trustee or custodian in possession of the Servicing File to provide to the Servicer the originals of the Servicing File within a reasonable amount of time after a request for such documents has been received in order to allow the Servicer sufficient time to process satisfactions, payoffs, and releases;

(iii) any act or omission to act of any servicer, sub-servicer, owner or originator of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property (or any other Person) prior to or in conjunction with servicing transfer on the Servicing Transfer Date, including, without limitation, any data integrity issue (and any related costs of correcting such issues); provided, however, that the Owner shall have no liability hereunder for any act or omission relating to a servicing transfer as to which the Owner has not received written notice of a claim for indemnification within 60 days after the Servicing Transfer Date; and provided, further, should the Servicer have actual knowledge of any data integrity error which is likely to materially affect any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, in consultation with the Owner and at the Owner’s expense, will take reasonable efforts to correct such error;

(iv) the violation of a Mortgage Loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or under any other applicable state, federal or local law;

Section 9601 et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other federal or state environmental laws, and specifically including, without limitation, any liability relating to asbestos and asbestos containing materials, polychlorinated biphenyls, radon gas, petroleum and petroleum products, urea formaldehyde and any substances classified as being “in inventory”, “usable work in process” or similar classification which would, if classified as unusable, be included in the foregoing definition, including the assertion of any lien thereunder, (b) claims brought by third parties for loss or damage incurred or sustained subsequent to the date hereof, and (c) liability with respect to any other matter affecting the Mortgaged Property within the jurisdiction of the federal Environmental Protection Agency or state environmental regulatory agencies pursuant to any state laws, and in the regulations adopted pursuant to any of said laws; provided, however, that the indemnity for Environmental Liability shall not be effective with respect to any liability caused by the Servicer that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of or failure to perform its duties hereunder.

(d) Procedure. If the Owner or the Servicer (either, the “Indemnified Party) receives notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnity under this Section 20 may be made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Servicer or the Owner, as the case may be (the party so notified, the “Indemnitor”) thereof; provided, that any delay in notification shall not reduce the extent of indemnity and defense hereunder except to the extent that the delay prejudices the Indemnitor. Following receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such action, and upon notice delivered to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, who shall not unreasonably withhold such acceptance. If, however, the defendants in such action include both the Owner and the Servicer, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the expense of the Indemnitor, to separate counsel to assert such defenses. If the Indemnitor shall have given notice of its assumption of the defense of such action and following the approval by the Indemnified Party of counsel, the Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Section 20 for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in retaining separate counsel in connection with such defense unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the preceding sentence; (ii) the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement of action; or (iii) the Indemnitor shall have otherwise authorized the employment of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party at the Indemnitor’s expense; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the separate counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

(e) Limit of Servicer’s Liability. The Servicer shall have no obligation to indemnify or in any way compensate or reimburse the Owner for losses due to the Owner’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct under this Agreement, and, if the same is determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is available, the Servicer shall be entitled to a direct reimbursement for indemnification payments previously made to the Owner under this Section 20 by the Servicer if such determination is made.

(f) Limit of Owner’s Liability. The Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify the Servicer for losses due to the Servicer’s willful misconduct or negligence, and, if the same is determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is available, the Owner shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Owner or previously reimbursed to the Servicer by the Owner. Other than as expressly set forth herein and subject to Section 7 herein, the Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify the Servicer for any losses.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 31 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Servicer acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings.

The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide any information that either the Owner or Depositor deem required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not believe that such information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such information for securitizations on its own Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (or any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of any of its Affiliates relating to the same asset type) unless either the Owner or Depositor pays all reasonable incremental costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such information. The Servicer shall deliver any such information within 15 days of such written request, if such information is quantitative information set forth on, or which may be derived from, information in the Servicer's databases, or otherwise within a commercially reasonable time taking into account the time required to implement the necessary systems and procedures to produce such information.

(1)(a) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, data or other material provided under this Section 31 by or on behalf of the Servicer, or provided under this Section 31 by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Subcontractor (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicer Information a material fact required to be stated in the Servicer Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

(ii) any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Section 31, including particularly any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 31, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 31.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

(iii) any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 31.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 31.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 31.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to Section 31.07(c), any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 31, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 31.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 31.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 31.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any master servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(ii) Subject to Section 31.07(c), any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 31.04 or 31.05, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 31.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner, any master servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

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

(c) In the event that the Servicer fails to timely comply with this Section 31, the Owner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written statements or assurances from the Commission, that such failure to provide the required statement of compliance on a timely basis, and a one time additional failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 31, will not result in any adverse effect on the Owner or its affiliates with respect to any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of the Owner or any of its affiliates. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Owner” shall mean the Person then acting as the Owner or Depositor under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Owners” or “Depositors” under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) in obtaining such statement or assurances from the Commission shall be reimbursed to the Owner by the Servicer. In the event that the Owner is unable to receive any such assurances from the Commission after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts of the related year, such failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 31 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure period, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Sections 9.01 and 31.07(b) of this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 of this Agreement. Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

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

The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Underwriters and their respective directors and officers and each Person, if any, that controls the Depositor or the respective Underwriters, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or the Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor or the Underwriters or any such director, officer or controlling Person may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Servicer Information in the Prospectus Supplement, ABS Informational and Computational Materials, the Free Writing Prospectus, the Private Placement Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the Servicer shall in each case reimburse the Depositor and the Underwriters, and each such director, officer and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor and the Underwriters, and each such director, officer or controlling Person, in connection with defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The Servicer’s liability under this Section 3.1 shall be in addition to any other liability that the Servicer may otherwise have.

G-3

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer, its directors and officers and each Person, if any, that controls the Servicer, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or the Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Servicer or any such director, officer or controlling Person may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Depositor Information in the Prospectus Supplement, ABS Informational and Computational Materials, the Free Writing Prospectus, the Private Placement Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the Depositor shall in each case reimburse the Servicer, and each such director, officer and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer and each such director, officer or controlling Person, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

3.4 Notification; Procedural Matters.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the applicable Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be made against another party) under Section 3.1 hereof, notify the applicable Indemnifying Party (or other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the applicable Indemnifying Party (or other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability it may have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided further, however, that the failure to notify the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability it may have to any indemnified party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than under Section 3.1 hereof. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the applicable Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, the applicable Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may do so with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the applicable Indemnifying Party and the indemnified party or parties shall reasonably have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the applicable Indemnifying Party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the applicable Indemnifying Party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this paragraph for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Party. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the applicable Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel representing the indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
