The parties acknowledge and agree that any termination of Servicer as servicer with respect to a Subject Servicing Agreement pursuant to a delinquency or loss performance trigger or for any other reason other than as a result of a breach by Servicer of a Servicer Retained Obligation with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be the result of a breach by Ocwen of its obligations under this Agreement and the related Subservicing Supplement. In the event of a conflict between a Subject Servicing Agreement and this Agreement and the related Subservicing Supplement, the Subject Servicing Agreement shall control.

2.4 Servicer Retained Obligations.

Servicer shall retain the right to direct the investment of amounts in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account and the right to receive and retain any investment income earned on any amounts or deposit in such Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts and shall retain any obligation to reimburse such accounts for investment losses in each case subject to the terms of the related Subject Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and Applicable Law.

(b) funding any P&I Advances required under the terms of the Subject Servicing Agreements, as determined by Ocwen and set forth in the applicable Monthly Remittance Report, and depositing any such P&I Advances into either the applicable Custodial Account or other applicable account held by the related trustee, master servicer, securities administrator, or trust administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements of the related Subject Servicing Agreement (which may be done directly by Servicer or though an account established in connection with the related Servicing Advance Facility).

In addition, Servicer may from time to time designate any obligations under a Subject Servicing Agreement that are not then currently a Servicer Retained Obligation as a Servicer Retained Obligation and assume the performance of such obligations upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Ocwen; provided that such designation and performance does not limit in any way Ocwen’s ability to earn and receive the Base Subservicing Fee, any Performance Fee or any Ancillary Income with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement.

2.5 Collections from Obligors and Remittances. Ocwen shall direct the obligors on the Mortgage Loans to remit payment on the Mortgage Loans to the Clearing Account and shall within one (1) Business Day of receipt promptly deposit any amounts Ocwen receives with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Clearing Account. Ocwen shall promptly remit all amounts received by Ocwen with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the applicable Custodial Account or Escrow Account (net of any Ancillary Income or Prepayment Interest Excess permitted to be retained by Ocwen hereunder or under the related Subservicing Supplement), but no later than the earlier of two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof or the date required pursuant to the applicable Subject Servicing Agreement; provided, that Ocwen shall, subject to the terms of the related Subject Servicing Agreement, remit any such amounts that constitute recovery of a Servicing Advance to the applicable Servicing Advance Account, if any, specified by Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. Ocwen shall also be responsible for making any compensating interest payments or prepayment interest shortfall payments required to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans under the Subject Servicing Agreements, and shall remit any such payments to the applicable Custodial Account no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the applicable remittance date for such Subject Servicing Agreement.

2.6 Power of Attorney. Servicer shall execute and furnish Ocwen with such limited powers of attorney to execute documents on behalf of Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and related Mortgaged Properties as Ocwen may reasonably request in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans.

(c) Confidential Information shall not include information that: (1) is in the public domain at the time of its use or disclosure through no fault of the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (2) was lawfully in the possession of or demonstrably known by the Receiving Party prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party; (3) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (4) becomes known by the Receiving Party from a third party and, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party.

(d) If the Receiving Party is requested or required to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under a subpoena, court order, statute, law, rule, regulation, or other similar requirement (a “Legal Requirement”), the Receiving Party will, to the extent not precluded by law, provide prompt notice of such Legal Requirement to the Disclosing Party so the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If the Disclosing Party is not successful in obtaining a protective order or other appropriate remedy and the Receiving Party is, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, or if the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement in writing, the Receiving Party may disclose, without liability hereunder, such Confidential Information in

accordance with, but solely to the extent necessary, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, to comply with the Legal Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as required to satisfy any request by any governmental or regulatory body.

(e) In the event that the Receiving Party learns or has reason to believe that the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information has been disclosed or accessed by an unauthorized party, or the Receiving Party’s facilities associated with such Confidential Information has been accessed by an unauthorized party, the Receiving Party will promptly give notice of such event to the Disclosing Party and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party or its investigator in investigating and responding to each successful or attempted security breach including allowing prompt, reasonable access to the Receiving Party’s facility by the Disclosing Party or its investigator to investigate, and make copies of such Confidential Information as provided for in this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event that the Receiving Party has access to or acquires individually identifiable information in relation to this Agreement, the following shall apply: the Receiving Party acknowledges that upon unauthorized acquisition of such individually identifiable information within the Receiving Party’s custody or control (a “Security Event”), the law may require notification to the individuals whose information was disclosed that a Security Event has occurred. The Receiving Party must notify the Disclosing Party immediately if the Receiving Party learns or has reason to believe a Security Event has occurred. The Receiving Party agrees that it will not notify the individuals until the Receiving Party first consults with the Disclosing Party and the Disclosing Party has had an opportunity to review any such notice.

(f) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon the Disclosing Party’s written request and where practicable, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party all copies of Confidential Information already in the Receiving Party’s possession or within its control. Alternatively, with the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, the Receiving Party may destroy such Confidential Information using means to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information, including, where appropriate, burning, shredding, or pulverizing such information, or by taking such other means as to assure that such information may not be recoverable following its disposal. An officer of the Receiving Party will certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been returned, or if applicable so destroyed in accordance with this Section 7.1(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain copies of such Confidential Information as required by applicable law, or, to the extent such copies are electronically stored in accordance with the Receiving Party’s email record retention policies, so long as such Confidential Information is kept confidential a required under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Limitation of Liability. Ocwen and any officers, employees or agents of Ocwen shall be relieved from liability for any action taken or from refraining from the taking of any action in the performance of its duties hereunder and under each Subservicing Supplement with respect to a Subject Servicing Agreement to same extent that Servicer and its officers, employees and agents would be relieved of such liability under such Subject Servicing Agreement,

provided, however, that this provision shall not protect Ocwen or any such Person against any breach of its representations or warranties made herein or in the related Subservicing Supplement or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care applicable to Servicer set forth in such Subject Servicing Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the related Subservicing Supplement. Ocwen and any director, officer, employee or agent of Ocwen 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. Ocwen 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 and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. In such event, Ocwen shall be entitled to reimbursement of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action to the same extent and at the same time as Servicer under the applicable Subject Servicing Agreement, unless any such costs result from a breach of Ocwen’s representations and warranties made herein or its failure to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Subservicing Supplement.

8.2 Servicer Liability. Servicer hereby acknowledges that despite any delegation of the servicing duties hereunder to Ocwen, Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable under the terms of the Subject Servicing Agreements for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

8.3 Indemnification.

(a) Ocwen shall indemnify and hold harmless Servicer and each officer, director, agent, employee or Affiliate of Servicer (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”) from any Loss incurred by Servicer or any such other Person (whether or not resulting from a Third Party Claim) directly or indirectly resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of Ocwen set forth in this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, (ii) Ocwen’s failure to observe and perform any of Ocwen’s duties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement; (iii) any acts or omissions by Ocwen or its employees or agents in performance of its duties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, or (iv) any willful malfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence of Ocwen in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Subservicing Supplement, or the reckless disregard by Ocwen of its obligations or duties hereunder or under any Subservicing Supplement. In particular, it is agreed by the parties that if Servicer is terminated as servicer under any Subject Servicing Agreement as a result of any action described in clauses (i) - (iv) above, Ocwen shall also pay to Servicer, as reasonable and just compensation for such termination, an amount equal to Book Value of the mortgage servicing rights related to such Subject Servicing Agreement as of the date Servicer is terminated, and Servicer shall accept such sum as liquidated damages, and not as penalty, in the event of such a termination.

(b) Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless Ocwen and each officer, director, agent, employee or Affiliate of Ocwen (each, an “Ocwen Indemnified Party”) from any Loss incurred by Ocwen or any such other Person (whether or not resulting from a Third Party Claim) directly or indirectly resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, (ii) Servicer’s failure to observe and perform any of Servicer’s duties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this

Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement; (iii) any acts or omissions by Servicer or its employees or agents (other than Ocwen and its agents) in performance of its duties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, or (iv) any willful malfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence of Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Subservicing Supplement, or the reckless disregard by Servicer of its obligations or duties hereunder or under any Subservicing Supplement. In addition to the foregoing, Servicer agrees to cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to obtain for Ocwen’s benefit any indemnification rights under the related Subject Servicing Agreements in the event Ocwen incurs any Losses covered by such indemnification rights, including coverage for loan origination issues and servicing issues related to any prior servicer or subservicer; provided, however, that Servicer shall indemnify Ocwen for any Losses to the extent such indemnification is not available to Ocwen but is available to Servicer under such Subject Servicing Agreements, and such indemnification is not applicable to Losses suffered by Servicer.

(c) As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third-Party Claim, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after first becoming aware of such claim, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.

(d) The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Proceeding by any unaffiliated third Person (a “Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 8.3 except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, and (ii) upon notice to the Indemnified Person, at any time during the course of any such Third-Party Claim, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choice and, in the event of such assumption, shall have the exclusive right, subject to clause (i) in the proviso in Section 8.3(e), to settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third-Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(e) Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person (unless the Indemnifying Person has the exclusive right to settle or compromise under clause (ii) of Section 8.3(d)) or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such Third-Party Claim shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as

the case may be, in the same manner as if a final Judgment had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that (i) no obligation, restriction, Loss or admission of guilt or wrongdoing shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement or compromise without its prior written consent and (ii) the Indemnified Person will not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person.

(f) No claim may be made by an Indemnified Party for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (“Special Damages”) in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct (whether the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated, or relationship established, by this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Ocwen and Servicer hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for Special Damages, whether or not accrued or whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

8.4 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, (i) it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to Section 8.3 and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or a Subservicing Supplement by Ocwen and (ii) Servicer shall be entitled, without limiting its other remedies and without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance or injunction, with respect to any breach or threatened breach of such covenants. Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other remedies available at law or in equity to such party under this Agreement and the Subservicing Supplements.

ARTICLE 9

TERMINATION AND RESIGNATION

9.1 Automatic Termination. Ocwen shall be automatically terminated as subservicer with respect to each Subject Servicing Agreement on the Schedule Termination Date for such Subject Servicing Agreement unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the related Subservicing Supplement or renewed by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto,

9.2 Termination by Servicer. Ocwen may be terminated as subservicer with respect to a Subject Servicing Agreement:

(a) Upon Servicer’s written notice to Ocwen following a Termination Event; or

(b) At such time, following the related Servicing Transfer Date, that Servicer is no longer the servicer with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement.

9.3 Limitation on Resignation of Ocwen. Ocwen shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it pursuant to this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement; provided that Ocwen may resign as subservicer with respect to any Subject Servicing Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Servicer if Servicer fails to pay to Ocwen any Base

Subservicing Fee or Performance Fee with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement that is required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Subservicing Supplement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given by Ocwen to Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer or subservicer shall have agreed to act as servicer or subservicer with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Servicer has failed to pay Ocwen any Base Subservicing Fee or Performance Fees that are past due after ten (10) Business Days of Servicer receiving notice of such failure, Ocwen may retain such fees from amounts otherwise payable to Servicer as part of its servicing compensation under the related Subject Servicing Agreements; provided that Servicer shall not have notified Ocwen that it disputes the occurrence or amount of such past due Base Subservicing Fee or Performance Fee.

9.4 Transfer upon Termination. In the event that Ocwen is terminated or resigns as subservicer with respect to any Subject Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Agreement or the related Subservicing Supplement, Ocwen shall cooperate fully with Servicer and with any party designated as the successor servicer or subservicer in transferring the servicing to such successor servicer or subservicer at Ocwen’s own expense or, in the event of resignation pursuant to Section 9.3, at Servicer’s expense. On or before the date upon which servicing is transferred from Ocwen to any successor servicer or subservicer with respect to a Subject Servicing Agreement (the “Subservicing Termination Date”), Ocwen shall undertake all steps necessary or appropriate to transfer, and shall transfer, the servicing of the related Mortgage Loan(s) to any successor servicer or subservicer, including, without limitation, (i) preparing, executing and delivering any and all necessary or appropriate documents and other instruments (including any assignments of mortgage), (ii) preparing and delivering appropriate notification and transfer letters (including any notifications with MERS and transferring any applicable tax or flood certification contracts), (iii) delivering the related servicing files, and (iv) creating and delivering to Servicer or its designee any reasonably requested electronic data with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. Ocwen shall reimburse Servicer for any legal expenses incurred by Servicer to enforce the foregoing obligations of Ocwen. Until the transfer of servicing is complete, Ocwen shall continue to perform under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Subservicing Supplement with respect to such Subject Servicing Agreement.

9.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in a Subservicing Supplement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Subservicing Supplement without limitation as to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement, the provisions of Article 8 and Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any Subservicing Supplement.
