The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) for the T1-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Coupon Rates of all the Home Equity Loans as of the first day of the related Remittance Period, weighted on their outstanding loan balances of such day and adjusted to take into account any prepayments occurring after such day that were distributed in the prior calendar month (the “REMIC Net WAC Rate”).
(2)
The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) for each of these interests is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) 10.6%, and (ii) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.
(3)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) 10.6%.
(4)
The R-I interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest. The R-I interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC I.
(5)
The T1-Arrearage interest shall not bear interest. The T1-Arrearage interest shall have an Initial Principal Balance equal to the aggregate Arrearage amount as of the Cut-off Date.
On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal shall be allocated in the following order of priority:
(i)
First, to the T1-A interest until the outstanding principal balance of such interest is reduced to zero, and
(ii)
Second, to the outstanding T1 interest with the lowest numerical denomination until such interest is reduced to zero; provided that in the case of T1 interests with the same numerical denomination, principal shall be allocated equally between such interests.
On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, all Prepayment Charges shall be allocated to the Class T1-V73 interest and all amounts paid with respect to unreimbursed Arrearages shall be allocated to the Class T1-Arrearage interest.
(f)
REMIC II:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC II, each of which (other than the R-2 interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II (the “REMIC II Regular Interests”):

The interest rate for each of these interests (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC I Regular Interests, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class T2-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC I interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC I interest to a cap equal to the product of the interest rate used to compute the Swap Counterparty Payment adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate (“Swap LIBOR”) for such Distribution Date and 2 (the “REMIC II Net WAC”).
(2)
The Class T2-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class T2-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC I interest listed in the second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such REMIC I interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date and 2.

On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC II based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the T2-Accrual Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions of principal described below. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the T2-Accrual Interest.
On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date the principal distributed on the REMIC interests (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the T2-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC II in the following order of priority:
(i)
First, to each interest in REMIC II having a Corresponding Class in the Master REMIC until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of such Corresponding Class for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date; and
(ii)
Second, to the T2-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.
On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, all Prepayment Charges distributed to the T1-V73 interest shall be distributed to the Class T2-Accrual Interest and all amounts paid with respect to unreimbursed Arrearages to the T1-Arrearage interest shall be distributed to the T2-Arrearage interest.

For each Interest Period, this Class shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus 0.070% per annum (or plus 0.140% per annum for each Interest Period occurring after the Clean-Up Call Date) and (ii) the Net WAC Cap. Any entitlement to Net WAC Rate Carryovers shall not be an obligation of any REMIC created hereunder. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference to “Net WAC Cap” in the Certificate Rate shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC II Net WAC; therefore, on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Rate for any Certificate exceeds the REMIC II Net WAC Rate, interest accruals based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund or the Swap Account, as applicable; on any Distribution Date on which the Certificate Rate on a Class of Certificates is based on the Net WAC Cap, the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Class of Certificates if the REMIC II Net WAC Rate were substituted for the Net WAC Rate shall be treated as having been paid by the holder of such Certificate to the Swap Account, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 7.12(e) hereof.
(2)

(a)
Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Owner, the Custodian or the Trustee (each, for purposes of this paragraph, a party) that the representations and warranties set forth in clause (b) below were untrue in any material respect, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller or the Servicer as to the facts stated therein, as of the Startup Day (or in the case of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage, as of the respective Replacement Cut-Off Date), with the result that the interests of the Owners in the related Home Equity Loan or Prepayment Charge are, or may be, materially and adversely affected, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Upon the earliest to occur of Nationstar Mortgage’s discovery, its receipt of notice of breach from any one of the other parties or such time as a situation resulting from an existing statement which is untrue materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of Nationstar Mortgage as to the facts stated therein, Nationstar Mortgage hereby covenants and warrants that it shall promptly cure such breach in all material respects or that it shall on or before the second Monthly Remittance Date next succeeding such discovery, receipt of notice or such time (i) substitute in lieu of each Home Equity Loan which has given rise to the requirement for action by Nationstar Mortgage a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan from the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Home Equity Loan which is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.06 shall be made unless Nationstar Mortgage obtains for the Trustee at its expense an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such a repurchase or substitution would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder or otherwise subject the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder to tax and would not jeopardize the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC (a “REMIC Opinion”) addressed to the Trustee and acceptable to the Trustee. Nationstar Mortgage shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee concurrently with the delivery of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06(b) stating that such Home Equity Loan meets the requirements of the definition of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and that all other conditions to the substitution thereof have been satisfied. Any Home Equity Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this Section shall be repurchased or substituted for (subject to compliance with Section 3.04 or 3.06(b), as the case may be) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Home Equity Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of a REMIC Opinion.

In the event that any such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, the parties intend that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a security interest in the Trust Estate, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
(b)
In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Home Equity Loans, Nationstar Mortgage agrees to:
(i)
deliver without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, on the Startup Day with respect to each Home Equity Loan (except that, in the case of any Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loans, such delivery may take place within twenty (20) days following the Startup Day), (A) the original Note endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee (“Pay to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee for Nationstar Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-B, without recourse”) and signed by manual signature of the Seller or, if the original Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced, an original lost note affidavit from the Seller stating that the original Note was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of the related Note, such lost note affidavits not to exceed 5% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date; (B) either (1) if the original title insurance policy is not available, the original title insurance commitment or a copy thereof certified as a true copy by the closing agent or Nationstar Mortgage, and when available, the original title insurance policy or a copy certified by the issuer of the title insurance policy, (2) if title insurance is not available in the applicable state, the attorney’s opinion of title, or (3) for a Home Equity Loan the original principal balance of which was equal to or less than $40,000, a title report and indemnity, (C) originals or copies of all intervening assignments certified as true copies by the closing agent or Nationstar Mortgage, showing a complete chain of title from origination to the Seller, if any, including warehousing assignments, if recorded, (D) originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if any, (E) either: (1) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon (if such original Mortgage has been returned to the Seller from the applicable recording office), or a copy of the Mortgage certified as a true copy by the closing agent or an Authorized Officer of Nationstar Mortgage, or (2) a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those instances where the original recorded Mortgage has been lost and (F) the original assignments of Mortgages (as described in clause (b)(ii)) in recordable form and acceptable for recording in the state or other jurisdiction where the Property is located;
(ii)
cause, within 60 days following the Startup Day with respect to the Home Equity Loans, assignments of the Mortgages from the Seller to “JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee of Nationstar Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-B under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2006” to be submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions; provided, further, that Nationstar Mortgage shall not be required to record an assignment of a Mortgage if Nationstar Mortgage furnishes to the Trustee, on or before the Startup Day, at Nationstar Mortgage’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the relevant jurisdiction that such recording is not necessary to perfect the Trustee’s interest in the related Home Equity Loans (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies); provided further, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any legal opinions, each assignment of Mortgage shall be recorded by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee at the expense of Nationstar Mortgage upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, (ii) if the Seller is not the Servicer and with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, or (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller;
(iii)
deliver the title insurance policy or title searches or reports, the original Mortgages and such recorded assignments, together with originals or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments (other than unrecorded warehouse assignments), to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, within 15 days of receipt thereof by Nationstar Mortgage, but in any event, with respect to any Mortgage as to which original recording information has been made available to the Seller, within one year after the Startup Day; and
(iv)
furnish to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, at Nationstar Mortgage’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the sale and perfection of the Home Equity Loans delivered to the Trust.
In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause (i) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, (or, in the case of the Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loans, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, within twenty (20) days following the Startup Day) for the benefit of the Certificateholders the documents or instruments set forth in clause (i) above, with respect to each Home Equity Loan.
In instances where the original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by Nationstar Mortgage to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement due to a delay in connection with recording, Nationstar Mortgage may in lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage, deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee a copy thereof, provided that Nationstar Mortgage certifies that the original Mortgage has been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its policy of title insurance or binder therefor. In all such instances, Nationstar Mortgage will deliver or cause to be delivered the original recorded Mortgage to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original recorded Mortgage but in no event later than one year after the Startup Day.
Nationstar Mortgage hereby confirms to the Trustee that it has made the appropriate entries in its general records to indicate that such Home Equity Loans have been transferred to the Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.05, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, the assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Depositor and the Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of a copy of such Mortgage, such assignment or assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.05, within twenty days after the Startup Day, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, or other designee of the Depositor the File as required pursuant to this Section 3.05 for each Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Qualified Replacement Mortgage for the Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan or (B) repurchase the Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.06(b); provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a File for any Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan within the twenty-day period provided above, the Seller shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in Section 3.06(b) shall not apply to the initial delivery of the File for such Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such twenty-day period the Trustee shall send a Delayed Delivery Certification for the Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loans delivered during such twenty-day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.
Not later than ten days following the end of the 60-day period referred in clause (b)(ii) above, Nationstar Mortgage shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, with a copy to the Trustee, a list of all Mortgages for which no Mortgage assignment has yet been submitted for recording by Nationstar Mortgage, which list shall state the reason why Nationstar Mortgage has not yet submitted such Mortgage assignments for recording. With respect to any Mortgage assignment disclosed on such list as not yet submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of original recording information, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make an immediate demand on Nationstar Mortgage to prepare such Mortgage assignments. Thereafter, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall cooperate in executing any documents submitted to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee in connection with this provision. Following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in clause (b)(ii) above, Nationstar Mortgage shall promptly prepare a Mortgage assignment for any Mortgage for which original recording information is subsequently received by Nationstar Mortgage, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Mortgage assignment to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee. Nationstar Mortgage agrees that it will follow its normal servicing procedures and attempt to obtain the original recording information necessary to complete a Mortgage assignment. In the event that Nationstar Mortgage is unable to obtain such recording information with respect to any Mortgage prior to the end of the 18th calendar month following the Startup Day and has not provided to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a Mortgage assignment with evidence of recording thereon relating to the assignment of such Mortgage to the Trustee, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall notify Nationstar Mortgage of its obligation to provide a completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) on or before the end of the 20th calendar month following the Startup Day. If no such completed assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) is provided before the end of such 20th calendar month, the related Home Equity Loan shall be deemed to have breached the representation contained in clause (xxii) of Section 3.04(b) hereof. The requirement to deliver a completed assignment with evidence of recording thereon will be deemed satisfied upon delivery of a copy of the completed assignment certified by the applicable public recording office.
Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be retained in the related File.
All recording required pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be accomplished at the expense of Nationstar Mortgage.
(c)
In the case of Home Equity Loans which have been prepaid in full on or after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, Nationstar Mortgage, in lieu of the foregoing, will deliver within six (6) days after the Startup Day to the Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set forth in Exhibit D.
(d)
Nationstar Mortgage shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse, to the Trustee all right, title and interest of Nationstar Mortgage in and to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by Nationstar Mortgage pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.06 hereof and all its right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage on and after the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that Nationstar Mortgage shall reserve and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage prior to the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date.
(e)
As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in connection with a repurchase thereof or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage therefor, the Trustee will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse or representation, on Nationstar Mortgage’s order, all of its right, title and interest in and to such released Home Equity Loan and all the Trust’s right, title and interest to principal and interest due on such released Home Equity Loan after the applicable repurchase date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and or and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and interest due on such released Home Equity Loan prior to such repurchase date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.
(f)
In connection with any transfer and assignment of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, Nationstar Mortgage agrees to (i) deliver or cause to be delivered without recourse to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee on the date of delivery of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage the original Note relating thereto, endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee, (ii) cause promptly to be recorded an assignment in the appropriate jurisdictions, (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered the original Qualified Replacement Mortgage and such recorded assignment, together with original or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments, to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee within 15 days of receipt thereof by Nationstar Mortgage (but in any event within 120 days after the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage) and (iv) deliver the title insurance policy, or where no such policy is required to be provided under Section 3.05(b)(i)(B), the other evidence of title required in Section 3.05(b)(i)(B).
(g)
As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in connection with a repurchase or the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver on the date of such repurchase or conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage and on the order of Nationstar Mortgage (i) the original Note relating thereto, endorsed, without recourse or representation, in blank or to the order of Nationstar Mortgage, (ii) the original Mortgage so released and all assignments relating thereto and (iii) such other documents as constituted the File with respect thereto.
(h)
If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of recording, or is returned from the recorder’s office unrecorded due to a defect therein, Nationstar Mortgage shall prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.
Section 3.06.
Acceptance by Trustee; Certain Substitutions of Home Equity Loans; Certification by Trustee.
(a)
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver and the Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee on the Startup Day an acknowledgment of receipt of the items delivered by Nationstar Mortgage in the forms attached as Exhibits E-1 and E-2 hereto, respectively, and declares through the Custodian that it will hold such documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the definition of Trust Estate and delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, as Trustee in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the Owners. At the end of the twenty (20) day period after the Startup Day, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller a Delayed Delivery Certification with respect to the Delayed Delivery Home Equity Loans in the form attached as Exhibit E-3 hereto, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Owners, to cause the Custodian to review the items delivered by Nationstar Mortgage pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) within 45 days after the Startup Day (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) and to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Pool Certification”) to the effect that, as to each Home Equity Loan listed in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans (other than any Home Equity Loan paid in full or any Home Equity Loan specifically identified in such Pool Certification as not covered by such Pool Certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) of this Agreement have been executed and are in its possession and that the Notes have been endorsed as set forth in Section 3.05(b)(i) hereof, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Home Equity Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Schedule of Home Equity Loans accurately reflects the information set forth in the File, except as may be indicated in an exception report in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (“Exception Report”), such Exception Report to be provided electronically concurrently with the delivery of the Pool Certification to the e-mail addresses specified by the recipients. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall have no responsibility for reviewing any File except as expressly provided in this subsection 3.06(a). Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any File, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment is in proper form (except to determine if the Trustee is the assignee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, nor shall the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, be under any duty to determine independently whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or modification agreements with respect to any Home Equity Loan.
(b)
If the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee during such 45-day period finds any document constituting a part of a File which is not executed, has not been received, or is unrelated to the Home Equity Loans identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, or that any Home Equity Loan does not conform to the description thereof as set forth in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Depositor, Nationstar Mortgage and the Owners. In performing any such review, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee may conclusively rely on Nationstar Mortgage as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the review of the items delivered by Nationstar Mortgage pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 3.05(b)(i) have been executed and received, relate to the Files identified in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans and conform to the description thereof in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans. Nationstar Mortgage agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a File of which it is so notified by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee. If, however, within 90 days after such notice to it respecting such defect Nationstar Mortgage has not remedied the defect and the defect materially and adversely affects the interest in the related Home Equity Loan of the Owners, Nationstar Mortgage will (or will cause an Affiliate to) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date (i) substitute in lieu of such Home Equity Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. In connection with any proposed purchase or substitution of a Home Equity Loan, Nationstar Mortgage shall cause at its expense to be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a proposed purchase or substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or would jeopardize the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC, and Nationstar Mortgage shall only be required to take either such action to the extent such action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust and would not jeopardize the status of such REMIC as a REMIC. Any required purchase or substitution, if delayed by the absence of such opinion, shall nonetheless occur upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to the Home Equity Loan or (ii) the delivery of such opinion.
(c)
In addition to the foregoing, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee also agrees to make a review during the 12th month after the Startup Day indicating the current status of the exceptions previously indicated on the Exception Report delivered electronically concurrently with the Pool Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Final Certification”) and, by the end of the 12th month after the Startup Day, deliver electronically to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee (to the e-mail addresses specified by the recipients) such Final Certification. After delivery of the Final Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee and the Servicer shall provide electronically to the Trustee (to the e-mail address specified by the Trustee) no less frequently than monthly updated certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions, until all such exceptions have been eliminated.
Section 3.07.

The fees and expenses of the Custodian will be paid by the Servicer.
If, pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall request written instructions from the Trustee, the Trustee hereby agrees to promptly provide such instructions.
Section 3.09.
Cooperation Procedures.
(a)
The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee covenant to provide each other with all data and information required to be provided by them hereunder at the times required hereunder, and additionally covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in providing any additional information required to be obtained by any of them in connection with their respective duties hereunder. Nationstar Mortgage shall, in connection with the delivery of each Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, provide the Trustee with information set forth in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage.
(b)
The Servicer shall maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each File as shall enable it and the Trustee to comply with this Agreement. In performing its recordkeeping duties the Servicer shall act in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of its accounts, records and computer systems as set forth in Sections 8.16 hereof. The Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee any failure on its part to maintain its accounts, records and computer systems herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
(c)
Nationstar Mortgage further confirms to the Trustee that it has caused the portions of the electronic ledger relating to the Home Equity Loans to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such Home Equity Loans have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed through the Depositor to the Trustee and constitute part of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.
Section 3.10.
Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Home Equity Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting fire and hazard insurance coverage.
With respect to each Home Equity Loan as to which the Servicer maintains escrow accounts, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of property taxes which are or may become a lien upon the Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in any escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, the Servicer shall, if it has received notice of a default or deficiency, monitor such payments to determine if they are made by the Mortgagor, and for this purpose the Servicer shall maintain a third-party (which may be an Affiliate of the Servicer) tax monitoring service.

No Person other than a registered Owner of an Offered Certificate as shown in the Register shall receive a certificate evidencing such Offered Certificate.
Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered Owners of Offered Certificates appearing as registered Owners in the registration books maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on a Record Date, the name “Cede & Co.” in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.
(h)
In the event that (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the Offered Certificates and either of Nationstar Mortgage or the Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the beneficial owners of each Class of Offered Certificates representing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of such Class advises the Trustee and Depository through the Direct or Indirect Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Owners, the Offered Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. In the case of (i) and (ii) above, Nationstar Mortgage may determine that the Offered Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to Nationstar Mortgage and at the expense of Nationstar Mortgage, or such depository’s agent or designee but, if Nationstar Mortgage does not select such alternative global book-entry system and in the case of (iii) above, the Offered Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names registered Owners of Offered Certificates transferring Offered Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(i)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Offered Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or interest on such Offered Certificates and all notices with respect to such Offered Certificates shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
Section 5.05.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) in the case of any mutilated Certificate, such mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, there shall be first delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by it to hold the Trustee harmless (provided, that with respect to an Owner which is an institutional investor, a letter of indemnity furnished by it shall be sufficient for this purpose), then, in the absence of written notice to the Trustee or the Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Registrar or Trustee may require the payment from the transferor or transferee of the related Certificate of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; any other expenses in connection with such issuance shall be an expense of the Trust.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute evidence of a substitute interest in the Trust, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates of the same Class duly issued hereunder and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
Section 5.06.
Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the Owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions with respect to such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.07.
Cancellation.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. No Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificate canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All canceled Certificates may be held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy in effect from time to time.
Section 5.08.
Limitation on Transfer of Ownership Rights.
(a)
No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of a Class R Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) shall be made to a Disqualified Organization or an agent of a Disqualified Organization. The transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class R Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) to a Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall not be deemed to be an Owner for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Class R Certificate. Furthermore, in no event shall the Trustee accept surrender for transfer, registration of transfer, or register the transfer, of any Class R Certificate nor authenticate and make available any new Class R Certificate unless the Trustee has received an affidavit from the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Each holder of a Class R Certificate by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section 5.08(a).
(b)
No other sale or other transfer of record or beneficial ownership of a Class M-10, Class M-11, Class X-IO, Class P or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Securities Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer: (i) in the case of transfers for which an investment letter in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2 is provided by the transferee to the Trustee, the Trustee or the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Securities Act or is being made pursuant to said Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Estate; and (ii) in the case of transfers for which an investment letter in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2 is provided, the investment letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Estate. The Owner of a Class M-10, Class M-11, Class X-IO, Class P or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Seller against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c)
(i)
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, either: (i) a representation letter (which may be combined with the investment letter, in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2, required by subsection (b) above), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”), nor is acting for, on behalf or with the assets of, any Plan to effect such transfer; (ii) if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting (other than the Class R Certificates), a representation letter that it is an insurance company that is purchasing the Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and the purchase and holding of the Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel, which shall not be at the expense of either the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Estate, to the effect that the purchase or holding of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject any of the above parties to any obligation or liability in addition to those expressly undertaken under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the representations required above with respect to any Certificate that is in book-entry form shall be deemed to have been made by the Owner of such Certificate by virtue of such acquisition; any purported transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of any Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be null and void and of no effect.
(ii)
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibits I-1 or I-2 to the effect that either (X) such transferee is not a Plan nor is acting for, on behalf of, or with the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (Y) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in clause (X) or (Y) of this paragraph, as applicable. If any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA‑Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.08(c)(ii) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Owner thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Owner under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(d)
[Reserved].
(e)
No sale or other transfer of any Class X-IO Certificates, Class P Certificates or Class R Certificate may be made to the Depositor, to any Person that was, at any time, an owner of a Home Equity Loan, or to the Seller except in connection with (1) with respect to the Depositor, the initial issuance of such Certificates by the Trust to the Depositor and, with respect to Nationstar Mortgage, the payment in partial consideration for the Home Equity Loans sold by the Seller and (2) the contemporaneous transfer of such Certificates to Nationstar Residual LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the Depositor or any trust formed and wholly owned by the Depositor.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.08, the Class R Certificates, Class P Certificates and Class X-IO Certificates may be transferred to Nationstar Residual LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller, the Depositor or any trust formed and wholly owned by the Depositor without regard to Sections 5.08(b), (c) or (e) above.
Section 5.09.
Assignment of Rights.
Other than with respect to any Class R Certificates (unless the Trustee shall have received a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action with respect to a Class R Certificate will not have an adverse effect on the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a “REMIC”) an Owner may pledge, encumber, hypothecate or assign all or any part of its right to receive distributions hereunder, but such pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or assignment shall not constitute a transfer of an ownership interest sufficient to render the transferee an Owner of the Trust without compliance with the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 5.08 hereof.

The Trustee shall, at the written direction of Nationstar Mortgage, also adopt and employ, at the expense of Nationstar Mortgage, any other reasonable means of notification of such payment (including but not limited to mailing notice of such payment to Owners whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Registrar, the Trustee or any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Owner).

The rights of the Owners to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Estate, and all ownership interests of the Owners in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. In this regard, all rights of the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates to receive distributions in respect of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates shall be subject and subordinate to the preferential rights of the holders of the Offered Certificates to receive distributions thereon and the ownership interests of such Owners in such distributions, as described herein. In accordance with the foregoing, the ownership interests of the Owners of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates in amounts deposited in the Accounts from time to time shall not vest unless and until such amounts are distributed in respect of the Class X-IO and Class R Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7.04.
Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund; WAC Excess.
(a)
On the Startup Day, the holders of the Class X-IO Certificates will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund, $10,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is WAC Excess to the extent not paid under Section 7.12(b), the Trustee has been directed to, and shall therefore, deposit into the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund an amount equal to the WAC Excess to the extent of the Class X-IO Distribution Amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.03(b) clause 19 and 7.03(b) clause 20. If no WAC Excess is payable on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund on behalf of the Class X-IO Certificateholders an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $10,000. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X-IO Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund (other than the initial $10,000 deposit) shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Master REMIC with respect to the Class X-IO Distribution Amount. Amounts held in the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund and not distributable to the Offered Certificateholders on any Distribution Date will be invested by the Trustee in investments designated by the Class X-IO Certificateholders having maturities on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date on which such amounts will be distributable to the Offered Certificateholders. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Offered Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund will be released from the lien of the Trust and distributed to the Class X-IO Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC created hereunder and any payments to the Offered Certificates of WAC Excess will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
(b)
The Trustee shall treat the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X-IO Certificateholders and that is not an asset of any REMIC.
(c)
[Reserved].
(d)
Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Section 7.03 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this section. In no event shall any payments provided for in this section be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1) and shall be treated as an asset held separate and apart from any REMIC created under this Agreement in accordance with Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(i).
Section 7.05.

The bank serving as Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trustee, as applicable, or any Affiliate thereof may be the obligor on any investment which otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Investment. No investment in any Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date. Amounts held in the Certificate Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments, which Eligible Investments shall mature no later than the Business Day preceding the immediately following Distribution Date or, if such Eligible Investments are an obligation of the Trustee or are money market funds for which the Trustee or any Affiliate is the manager or the adviser, such Eligible Investments shall mature no later than the following Distribution Date.
(b)
If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trustee, as applicable, and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trustee, as applicable, shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash as directed in writing by the Servicer a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account. No investments will be liquidated prior to maturity unless the proceeds thereof are needed for disbursement.
(c)
All income or other gain from investment in the Certificate Account held by the Trustee shall be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted to the Servicer (except with respect to all income or other gain from investment earned on the Business Day immediately preceding a Distribution Date, which amounts shall be retained by the Trustee). Any investment losses on amounts held in the Certificate Account shall, promptly upon realization of such loss, be contributed by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account.

Section 7.10.
Reports by Trustee.
(a)
The Trustee shall report to the Depositor, the Seller and each Owner, with respect to the amount on deposit in the Certificate Account and the identity of the investments included therein, as the Depositor, the Seller or any Owner may from time to time reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall, at the reasonable request of the Depositor, the Seller or any Owner, transmit promptly to the Depositor, the Seller and any Owner copies of all accountings of receipts in respect of the Home Equity Loans furnished to it by the Servicer and shall notify the Seller if any Monthly Remittance Amount has not been received by the Trustee when due.
(b)
The Trustee shall report to each Owner with respect to any written notices it may from time to time receive which provide an Authorized Officer with actual knowledge that any of the statements set forth in Section 3.04(b) hereof are inaccurate.
(c)
The Trustee will make the report referred to in Section 7.08 and 7.09 herein (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders and other parties to this Agreement via the Trustee’s internet website, which is presently located at xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx. Persons that are unable to use the above website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first Class mail by calling the Trustee at 0-000-000-0000.

Section 7.11.

(a)
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the total of the Applied Realized Loss Amounts for such Distribution Date. The Applied Realized Loss Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied by reducing, on a dollar for dollar basis, the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the lowest relative payment priority, in each case until the respective Certificate Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero. Any Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to a Class of Subordinate Certificates shall be allocated among the Subordinate Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(b)
With respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates to which an Applied Realized Loss Amount has been allocated (including any such Class for which the related Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero), the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class will be increased up to the amount of related Recoveries for such Distribution Date, beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest relative payment priority, up to the amount of the lesser of (i) the Applied Realized Loss Amounts previously allocated to reduce such Certificate Principal Balance and (ii) the outstanding Class Principal Carryover Shortfall of such Class. Any increase to the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Subordinate Certificates shall be allocated among the Subordinated Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
Section 7.12.
Swap Account.
(a)
The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trustee to enter into the Swap Agreement on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust and to establish the Swap Account pursuant to Section 7.02(a). Promptly upon receipt, the Supplemental Interest Trustee will deposit into the Swap Account all funds received from the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.03(a) and Section 7.03(b) clause 21 and all funds received from the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Swap Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 7.05.
(b)
On each Distribution Date after the Startup Day but not beyond the November 2012 Distribution Date, to the extent necessary, following all distributions pursuant to Section 7.03(b), the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall apply, all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Swap Account (other than investment earnings on funds held in the Swap Account, which shall be for the account of the Servicer) in the following order of priority:
(i)
first, to the Swap Provider, any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date and any Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Provider remaining unpaid from prior Distribution Dates;
(ii)
second, to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider not resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event pursuant to the Swap Agreement;
(iii)
third, to the Offered Certificates, the Net Subordination Deficiency for the applicable Distribution Date, allocated in the order of priority set forth in clauses 4. through 15. under Section 7.03(b);
(iv)
fourth, sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates, in that order, any related Class Principal Carryover Shortfall, to the extent remaining undistributed after the distributions pursuant to Section 7.03(b);
(v)
fifth, concurrently, to the Senior Certificates, any related Class Interest Carryover Shortfall, pro rata, to the extent remaining undistributed after the distributions pursuant to Section 7.03(b);
(vi)
sixth, sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates, in that order, any related Class Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the extent remaining undistributed after the distributions pursuant to Section 7.03(b);
(vii)
seventh, to pay the applicable Certificateholders any Net WAC Cap Carryover to the extent remaining undistributed after the distributions pursuant to Section 7.03(b), allocated in the order of priority set forth in clauses 19. and 20. of 7.03(b);
(viii)
eighth, to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event; and
(ix)
ninth, to the Class X-IO Certificates, any remainder;
provided, that the cumulative amount of distributions pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above on each Distribution Date, and all prior Distribution Dates, will not exceed the cumulative amount of Realized Losses with respect to that Distribution Date and all prior Distribution Dates.
(c)
[Reserved].
(d)
The Swap Account shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.8606-2(h) and shall not be an asset of any REMIC or the Trust Estate created pursuant to this Agreement and, instead, shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust. For state and federal tax purposes the beneficial owners of the Class X-IO Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Swap Account.
(e)
For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Holders of Offered Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class X-IO Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Offered Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class X-IO Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the regular interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class X-IO Shortfall Amount”). A Class X-IO Shortfall Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Cap, and a Class X-IO Shortfall Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class X-IO Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Cap Carryovers to the Holders of the Offered Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Offered Certificates of a Class X-IO Shortfall Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such Holders to the Supplemental Interest Trustee pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Offered Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract. For federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall treat such notional principal contract as having a value of $10,000 as of the Startup Date.
Section 7.13.
Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
(a)
For federal income tax purposes, each holder of an Offered Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Cap Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each Offered Certificate as follows: each Offered Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from the Master REMIC (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Swap Agreement.

Acting directly or through one or more Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 8.03, the Servicer shall service and administer the Home Equity Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the respective Home Equity Loans, and with prudent and reasonable care, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable home equity loans that it services for itself or others and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable but without regard to: (i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer; (iii) the Servicer’s obligation to make Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances; or (iv) the Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
Subject to Section 8.03 hereof, the Servicer may, and is hereby authorized to, perform any of its servicing responsibilities with respect to all or certain of the Home Equity Loans through a Sub-Servicer as it may from time to time designate, but no such designation of a Sub-Servicer shall serve to release the Servicer from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Such Sub-Servicer shall have the rights and powers of the Servicer which have been delegated to such Sub-Servicer with respect to such Home Equity Loans under this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Owners and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Home Equity Loans and with respect to the Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to effect ownership of any Property in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and (iii) to hold title to any Property upon such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 8.13(a) and Section 8.14(a) shall each constitute a revocable power of attorney from the Trustee to the Servicer to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) with respect to any Home Equity Loan held by the Trustee hereunder paid in full or foreclosed (or with respect to which payment in full has been escrowed). Revocation of the power of attorney created by the proviso of the preceding sentence shall take effect upon (i) the receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Trustee or (ii) a Servicer Termination Event or (iii) the termination of the Trust. The Trustee shall at the written direction of the Servicer execute any documentation furnished to it by the Servicer for recordation by the Servicer in the appropriate jurisdictions, as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Trustee shall, if necessary, execute a limited power of attorney in the form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer and furnish them with any other documents as the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer shall reasonably request to enable the Servicer and such Sub-Servicer to carry out their respective servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the details concerning the servicing of the Home Equity Loans on computer generated tape, diskette or other machine readable format which is mutually agreeable.
The Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust.
Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Home Equity Loans (including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or other charges on any Property) shall be recoverable by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer to the extent described in Section 8.09(b) hereof.
Section 8.02.
Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.
(a)
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy, follow collection procedures for all Home Equity Loans at least as rigorous as those described in the FNMA Guide. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any assumption fee or any penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Home Equity Loan or any other fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing compensation. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make payment of any required Delinquency Advance with respect to the payments so extended to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and Delinquent and had not been deferred, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 8.09(a) hereof.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Prepayment in full or in part of a Home Equity Loan, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Home Equity Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge, or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. If the Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Certificate Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 8.03.
Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Trustee, enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Home Equity Loans with any institution which is acceptable to the Trustee and which (x) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, (y) has experience servicing home equity loans that are similar to the Home Equity Loans and (z) has equity of not less than $5,000,000 (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Owners and the Rating Agencies of the appointment of any Sub-Servicer (and shall receive the confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such Sub-Servicer shall not result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating or the shadow rating of the Offered Certificates). For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Home Equity Loans when any Sub-Servicer has received such payments. Each Sub-Servicer shall be required to service the Home Equity Loans in accordance with this Agreement and any such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee (if acting as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the original Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instrument.
Section 8.04.
Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Home Equity Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 8.03.
Section 8.05.
Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
(a)
The Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer and the Servicer shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.
(b)
The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or Owner in respect of such claim. The Trustee shall, in accordance with written instructions received from the Servicer, reimburse the Servicer only from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when a final nonappealable adjudication determines that the claim relates directly to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties in compliance with the Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 8.06.
No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Trustee or the Owners.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Home Equity Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Owners shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07.
Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Trustee.
In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer hereunder by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.20 or another successor Servicer, it is understood and agreed that the Servicer’s rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Trustee or another successor Servicer without act or deed on part of the Trustee or such successor servicer provided, however, that the Trustee (if acting as successor Servicer) or any other successor Servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer as provided in Section 8.03.
The Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 8.08.
Principal and Interest Account.
(a)
The Servicer shall establish and maintain at one or more Designated Depository Institutions the Principal and Interest Account, which shall be an Eligible Account. The Principal and Interest Account shall be identified on the records of the Designated Depository Institution as follows: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee on behalf of the Owners of the Nationstar Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-B Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates. If the institution at any time holding the Principal and Interest Account ceases to be eligible as a Designated Depository Institution hereunder, then the Servicer shall immediately be required to name a successor institution meeting the requirements for a Designated Depository Institution hereunder. If the Servicer fails to name such a successor institution, then the Principal and Interest Account shall thenceforth be held as a trust account at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Owners if there is a change in the name, account number or institution holding the Principal and Interest Account.
Subject to Subsection (c) below, the Servicer shall deposit all receipts required pursuant to Subsection (c) below and related to the Home Equity Loans to the Principal and Interest Account on a daily basis (but no later than the second Business Day after receipt).
(b)
All funds in the Principal and Interest Account shall be held (i) uninvested up to the amount insured by the FDIC or (ii) invested in Eligible Investments. Any investments of funds in the Principal and Interest Account shall mature or be withdrawable at par on or prior to the immediately succeeding Monthly Remittance Date. The Principal and Interest Account shall be held in trust in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Owners. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and may only be withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer immediately following the remittance of the Monthly Remittance Amount by the Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof. Any investment losses on amounts held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and promptly upon the realization of such loss shall be contributed by the Servicer to the Principal and Interest Account. Any references herein to amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.
(c)
The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt, (x) all Prepayment Charges collected on and after the Cut-Off Date and the Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, and (y) all principal collected and interest due on the Home Equity Loans (net of the Servicing Fee related to such Home Equity Loans) on and after the Cut-Off Date and the Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, including any Prepayments and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other recoveries or amounts related to the Home Equity Loans received by the Servicer and any income from REO Properties, but net of (i) Net Liquidation Proceeds to the extent such Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the sum of (A) the Loan Balance of the related Home Equity Loan immediately prior to liquidation, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Home Equity Loan (net of the related Servicing Fee) plus (C) any unrecovered Cram Down Losses, (ii) reimbursements for unreimbursed Arrearages, if any, unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances (but in each case solely from amounts received on the related Home Equity Loan) as provided in Section 8.09 and (iii) reimbursements for amounts deposited in the Principal and Interest Account representing payments of principal and/or interest on a Note by a Mortgagor which are subsequently returned by a depository institution as unpaid.
(d)
The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Principal and Interest Account, for the following purposes:
(A)
on each Monthly Remittance Date, to pay itself the related Servicing Fees to the extent such Servicing Fees are not retained by the Servicer;
(B)
to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account;
(C)
to withdraw amounts that have been deposited to the Principal and Interest Account in error;
(D)
to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Arrearages, unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and for unreimbursed Servicing Advances (in each case, solely from amounts recovered on the related Home Equity Loan) as provided in Section 8.09;
(E)
to reimburse itself pursuant to Sections 8.09(a), (b) and (c) for Nonrecoverable Advances; and
(F)
to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX.
(e)
The Servicer shall (i) remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account by wire transfer, or otherwise make funds available in immediately available funds, without duplication, the Monthly Remittance Amount allocable to a Remittance Period not later than the related Monthly Remittance Date, and (ii) on each Monthly Remittance Date, deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a monthly servicing report containing (without limitation) the following information: principal and interest collected in respect of the Home Equity Loans, scheduled principal and interest that was due on the Home Equity Loans, relevant information with respect to Liquidated Loans, if any, summary and detailed delinquency reports, Liquidation Proceeds and other similar information concerning the servicing of the Home Equity Loans. In addition, the Servicer shall inform the Trustee on each Monthly Remittance Date of the amounts of any Loan Purchase Prices or Substitution Amounts so remitted during the related Remittance Period, and of the Loan Balance of the Home Equity Loan having the largest Loan Balance as of such date.
(f)
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the information described in Section 8.08(e)(ii) and in Section 7.09(b) to enable the Trustee to perform its reporting requirements under Section 7.09 and to make the allocations and disbursements set forth in Sections 7.02 and 7.03.
Section 8.09.
Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances and Arrearages.
(a)
On or before each Monthly Remittance Date, the Servicer shall be required to remit to the Trustee for deposit to the Certificate Account out of the Servicer’s own funds or from collections on any Home Equity Loans that are not required to be distributed on the Distribution Date occurring during the month in which such remittance is made (all or any portion of such amount to be replaced on future Monthly Remittance Dates to the extent required for distribution) any Delinquent payment of interest (but not delinquent Arrearages) with respect to each Delinquent Home Equity Loan, which payment was not received on or prior to the last day of the related Remittance Period. Such amounts of the Servicer’s own funds so deposited are “Delinquency Advances”.
The Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself on any Business Day for any Delinquency Advances paid from the Servicer’s own funds from late collections on the related Home Equity Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Servicer determines in its reasonable business judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set out herein that any proposed Delinquency Advance would not be recoverable, the Servicer shall not be required to make Delinquency Advances with respect to such Home Equity Loan. To the extent that the Servicer previously has made Delinquency Advances with respect to a Home Equity Loan that the Servicer subsequently determines are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate Nonrecoverable Advances from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate of such determination as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Trustee; the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the Owners of the Class R Certificates upon request; provided, further, that the Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances from Liquidation Proceeds for the related Home Equity Loan.
(b)
The Servicer will pay all “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited to, (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) the cost of any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the cost of the management and liquidation of REO Property, (iv) advances required by Section 8.13(a), and (v) expenses incurred pursuant to Section 8.22, except to the extent that such amounts are determined by the Servicer in its reasonable business judgment not to be recoverable. Such costs will constitute “Servicing Advances”. The Servicer may recover a Servicing Advance from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the Home Equity Loans or, if not theretofore recovered from the Mortgagor on whose behalf such Servicing Advance was made, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Servicing Advances from the Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan prior to the payment of the Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that the Servicer previously has made Servicing Advances with respect to a Home Equity Loan that the Servicer subsequently determines are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate Nonrecoverable Advances from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate of such determination as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Trustee; the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the Owners of the Class R Certificates upon request. In no case may the Servicer recover Servicing Advances from the principal and interest payments on any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in this section with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances.
(c)
With respect to any Home Equity Loan with an Arrearage, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for any such Arrearage on any Business Day to the extent that the Mortgagor (a) makes a payment on the Home Equity Loan that is specifically intended to reduce the related Arrearage or (b) prepays the Home Equity Loan in full and pays the total amount of the related Arrearage.
If the Servicer determines that a Delinquency Arrearage is nonrecoverable, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such outstanding Delinquency Arrearage from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate of such determination as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Trustee; the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the Owners of the Class R Certificates upon request; provided, further, that the Servicer shall be entitled to recover any outstanding Delinquency Arrearage from Liquidation Proceeds for the related Home Equity Loan.
The Servicer may recover an outstanding Property Protection Arrearage from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the Home Equity Loans or, if not theretofore recovered from the Mortgagor, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Property Protection Arrearage from the Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan prior to the payment of the Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that the Servicer determines such Property Protection Arrearage is nonrecoverable, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such outstanding Property Protection Arrearage from collections on any Home Equity Loan on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. The Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate of such determination as to why such amount would not be recoverable to the Trustee; the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the Owners of the Class R Certificates upon request. In no case may the Servicer recover an Arrearage from the principal and interest payments on any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in this section with respect to nonrecoverable Arrearage.
Section 8.10.
Compensating Interest; Repurchase of Home Equity Loans.
(a)
If any Prepayment in full of a Home Equity Loan occurs during any calendar month, any shortfall between (x) the interest collected from the Mortgagor in connection with such payoff, and (y) the full month’s interest at the Coupon Rate that would be due on the related Due Date for such Home Equity Loan (“Compensating Interest”) (but not in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fee for the related Remittance Period) shall be deposited by the Servicer to the Principal and Interest Account (or if such difference is an excess, the Servicer shall retain such excess) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date and shall be included in the Monthly Remittance Amount to be made available to the Trustee on such Monthly Remittance Date.
(b)
Subject to clause (c) below, the Servicer has the right and the option, but not the obligation, to purchase for its own account any Home Equity Loan which is 60 days or more Delinquent, or any Home Equity Loan as to which enforcement proceedings have been brought by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.13; provided, however, that the Servicer may not purchase any such Home Equity Loan which is fewer than 180 days Delinquent unless the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee at the Servicer’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that such a purchase would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or otherwise subject the Trust to tax and would not jeopardize the status of any REMIC created hereunder as REMICs. Any such Home Equity Loan so purchased shall be purchased by the Servicer on or prior to a Monthly Remittance Date at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.
(c)
[Reserved].
(d)
The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the disposition of any REO Property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Trustee as part of the Monthly Remittance Amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee.
Section 8.11.
Maintenance of Insurance.
(a)
(i) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Home Equity Loan a hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan in an amount not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related Senior Lien loan, if any), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (C) the full insurable value of the premises. The Servicer shall maintain the insurance policies required hereunder in the name of the mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and shall be named as loss payee. The policies shall require the insurer to provide the mortgagee with 30 days’ notice prior to any cancellation or as otherwise required by law.
(ii)
As an alternative to maintaining a hazard insurance policy with respect to each Home Equity Loan as described in clause (i) above, the Servicer may maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy or policies, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause that is in form and substance consistent with standard industry practice, if the insurer or insurers of such policies are rated investment grade by Xxxxx’x, Standard & Poor’s and, if rated by Fitch, Fitch.
(b)
If the Home Equity Loan at the time of origination (or if required by federal law, at any time thereafter) relates to a Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained with respect thereto a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a carrier generally acceptable to the Servicer in an amount representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan of not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the related Senior Lien loan, if any), (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust out of the Servicer’s own funds for any loss to the Trust resulting from the Servicer’s failure to advance premiums for such insurance required by this Section when so permitted by the terms of the Mortgage as to which such loss relates.
(c)
Amounts collected by the Servicer under any Insurance Policy shall be deposited into the Principal and Interest Account.
Section 8.12.
Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.
When a Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall (except as provided below), to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Home Equity Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law, or the Servicer, in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial practice, and only if the Servicer reasonably believes assumption by the purchaser would not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Owners, permits the purchaser of the related Property to assume such Home Equity Loan. An Opinion of Counsel, provided at the expense of the Servicer, to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage documents, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note. The Home Equity Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all material respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee or by the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf to the related File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, no material term of the Home Equity Loan (including, without limitation, the required monthly payment on the related Home Equity Loan, the stated maturity, the outstanding principal amount or the Coupon Rate) shall be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Home Equity Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 8.13.
Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans; Workout of Home Equity Loans.
(a)
The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably effect the ownership in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of Properties relating to defaulted Home Equity Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and which the Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section 8.10(b). In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with the servicing standards set forth in the FNMA Guide, including, but not limited to, advancing funds for the payment of taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior Liens, and insurance premiums. Any amounts so advanced shall constitute “Servicing Advances” within the meaning of Section 8.09(b) hereof. The Servicer shall sell any REO Property within 35 months from the close of the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust, at such price as the Servicer in good xxxxx xxxxx necessary to comply with this covenant unless the Servicer obtains for the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (the expense of which opinion shall be a Servicing Advance) experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the Trustee, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property for any greater period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “Prohibited Transactions” of the Trust or any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owners solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC created hereunder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Owners, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owners for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation, on a Property in determining whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Property. If the Servicer has actual knowledge of any environmental or hazardous waste risk with respect to the Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer will cause an environmental inspection of the Property in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement.
(b)
The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each defaulted Home Equity Loan, when it has recovered, whether through trustee’s sale, foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on account of such defaulted Home Equity Loan, whereupon such Home Equity Loan shall become a “Liquidated Loan.”
(c)
The Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any provision of any Home Equity Loan unless, in the Servicer’s good faith judgment, such modification, waiver or amendment would minimize the loss that might otherwise be experienced with respect to such Home Equity Loan and only in the event of a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan or in the event that a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan is reasonably foreseeable by the Servicer; provided, however, that no such modification, waiver or amendment shall extend the maturity date of such Home Equity Loan beyond the date that is six months after the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date of all of the Classes of Offered Certificates remaining in the Trust. Notwithstanding anything set out in this Section 8.13(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be permitted to modify, waive or amend any provision of a Home Equity Loan if required by statute or a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.
(d)
The Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Startup Day; provided, that the foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage including delinquency characteristics in the Servicer’s discretion so warrant such action.
Section 8.14.
Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
(a)
Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan (including any liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or otherwise), or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, signed by an Authorized Officer which states the purpose of the release of a File. Upon receipt of such written request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly release the related File, in trust, in its reasonable discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or to the Trustee.
(b)
The Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations and (iii) removal, demolition or division of Properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio of such Note on the Cut-Off Date or Replacement Cut-Off Date, as applicable, and any increase in the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not exceed 5%; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate executed on behalf of the Servicer setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Home Equity Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
(c)
From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Home Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable Insurance Policy, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall release the related File to the Servicer, promptly upon a written request of the Servicer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, signed by an Authorized Officer, which states the purpose of the release of a File. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the File to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists.
(d)
In all cases where the Servicer directs the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to sign any document or to release a File within a particular period of time, the Servicer shall notify an Authorized Officer of the Trustee by telephone of such need and the Trustee shall thereon use its best efforts to comply with the Servicer’s needs, but in any event will comply within two Business Days of such request.
(e)
No costs associated with the procedures described in this Section 8.14 shall be an expense of the Trust.
Section 8.15.
Servicing Compensation.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees or any other servicing-related fees (other than Prepayment Charges), Net Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 8.08(c)(i) and similar items may, to the extent collected from Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer, unless a successor Servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 8.20 hereof, in which case the successor Servicer shall be entitled to such fees as are agreed upon by the Trustee and the successor Servicer.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Section 8.16.
Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies, on or before March 20 of each year, commencing in 2007, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year (or applicable portion thereof), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice by means of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become a Servicer Termination Event.

Section 8.19.
Assignment of Agreement.
Other than with respect to entering into Sub-Servicing Agreements pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, the Servicer may not assign its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have first obtained the written consent of the Trustee, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any assignee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.20(h) hereof for a successor Servicer.
Section 8.20.
Removal of Servicer; Retention of Servicer; Resignation of Servicer.
(a)
The Trustee or the Owners of at least a 51% Percentage Interest in all of the Certificates may remove the Servicer upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Servicer Termination Event”):
(i)
The Servicer shall (I) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian or similar entity with respect to itself or its property, (II) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (III) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (IV) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (V) commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws of the United States of America or any state bankruptcy law or similar laws or file a voluntary petition or answer seeking reorganization, an arrangement with creditors or an order for relief or seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law or file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or (VI) take corporate, limited liability company or other entity action, as applicable, for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
(ii)
If without the application, approval or consent of the Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of the Servicer an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian or similar entity with respect to the Servicer or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or other like relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and, if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good faith, the same shall (A) result in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or pending and unstayed for any period of seventy-five (75) consecutive days; or
(iii)
The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of its obligations hereunder and shall continue in default thereof for a period of thirty (30) days (one (1) Business Day in the case of a delay in making a payment or deposit required of the Servicer under this Agreement) which failure materially and adversely affects the Owners after the earlier of (a) actual knowledge of an officer of the Servicer or (b) receipt of notice from the Trustee of said failure; or
(iv)
The Servicer shall fail to cure any breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 or in the other Operative Documents which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners which remains unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the earlier of the Servicer’s discovery or receipt of notice thereof; or
(v)
The Servicer shall be declared in default of its credit facility by its credit facility provider, which default, if left uncured, would result in termination or acceleration of amounts owed thereunder.
(b)
Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer under this Agreement until removed as set forth in this Section 8.20 and a successor Servicer has assumed the servicing obligations. After the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Trustee or the Owners of at least 51% Percentage Interest in all the Certificates may remove the Servicer by written notice to the Servicer. Such termination shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, provided that a successor Servicer or the Trustee has assumed the servicing obligations. Upon the effective date of termination of the Servicer, the Trustee shall assume the servicing obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of section (a) above in connection with a failure by the Servicer to make a required Delinquency Advance, the Servicer will be deemed to have been immediately removed as Servicer and the Trustee will immediately become the successor Servicer. The Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Delinquency Advances and the Trustee will assume the other duties of the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Trustee becomes successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. Until a successor Servicer has been appointed, the Trustee shall be the successor Servicer in all respects without further action, and all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee on and after the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
(c)
[Reserved].
(d)
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon (i) determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer at the date of this Agreement or (ii) written consent of the Trustee. Any such determination under clause (i) shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee at the expense of the Servicer to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee.
(e)
No removal or resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Section.
(f)
Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Servicer at its own expense also shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to a successor Servicer or the Trustee all the books and records (including, without limitation, records kept in electronic form) that the Servicer has maintained for the Home Equity Loans, including all tax bills, assessment notices, insurance premium notices and all other documents as well as all original documents then in the Servicer’s possession.
(g)
Any collections due to the Trust then being held by the Servicer prior to its removal and any collections received by the Servicer after removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly and immediately to the Trustee or the successor Servicer.
(h)
Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee (A) may, solicit bids for a successor Servicer as described below and (B) until such time as another successor Servicer is appointed by the Trustee, shall assume the duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee agrees to act as Servicer during the solicitation process and shall assume all duties and obligations of the Servicer. The Trustee shall, if it is unable to obtain a qualifying bid and is prevented by law from acting as Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution which has been designated as an approved seller-servicer by FNMA or FHLMC for first and second home equity loans and having equity of not less than $5,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, act as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. The compensation of any successor Servicer (other than the Trustee in its capacity as successor Servicer) so appointed shall be the amount agreed to between the successor Servicer and the Trustee (up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum on the outstanding principal balance of each Home Equity Loan), together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15; provided, however, that if the Trustee becomes the successor Servicer it shall receive as its compensation the same compensation paid to the Servicer immediately prior to the Servicer’s removal or resignation; provided, further, however, that the predecessor Servicer agrees to pay to the Trustee or other successor Servicer at such time that it becomes such successor Servicer a set-up fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each Home Equity Loan then included in the Trust Estate. The amount payable in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) per Home Equity Loan, if any, shall be payable to the successor Servicer. The Trustee shall be obligated to serve as successor Servicer whether or not the fee described in this section is paid by the Servicer, but shall in any event be entitled to receive, and to enforce payment of, such fee from the Servicer.
(i)
In the event the Trustee elects to solicit bids as provided above, the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Servicer shall be entitled to servicing compensation in accordance with clause (h) above, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price it will pay to obtain servicing. The Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum less any amounts due the Trustee or the Trust from the Servicer shall be paid by the Trustee to the predecessor Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor.
(j)
The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession, including the notification to all Mortgagors of the transfer of servicing. The predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the predecessor Servicer’s servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the Home Equity Loans. Any amounts and documents which are property of the Trust held by the predecessor Servicer shall be held in trust on behalf of the Trustee until transferred to the successor Servicer or Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer. If the Servicer resigns or is replaced hereunder, the Servicer agrees to reimburse the Trust and the Owners for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing to the replacement Servicer, but subject to a maximum reimbursement to all such parties in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each Home Equity Loan then included in the Trust Estate. The amount payable in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) per Home Equity Loan, if any, shall be payable to the successor Servicer.
(k)
The Trustee or any other successor Servicer, upon assuming the duties of Servicer hereunder, shall immediately (i) record all assignments of Home Equity Loans not previously recorded in the name of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(ii) as a result of an Opinion of Counsel and (ii) make all Delinquency Advances and Compensating Interest payments and deposit them to the Principal and Interest Account which the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit with respect to the Home Equity Loans.
(l)
The Servicer which is being removed or is resigning shall give notice to the Mortgagors and to the Rating Agencies of the transfer of the servicing to the successor.
(m)
The Trustee shall give notice to the Depositor, the Owners, the Seller, and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of any event described in paragraph (a) above of which the Trustee is aware.
(n)
Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the predecessor Servicer including, but not limited to, the maintenance of the hazard insurance policy(ies), the fidelity bond and an errors and omissions policy pursuant to Section 8.21(b) and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer (including, without limitation, any deductible under an insurance policy) nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.
(o)
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Sections 7.03(b) for all Transition Expenses (other than amounts reimbursed pursuant to paragraph (j) above), including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Home Equity Loans properly and effectively.
Section 8.21.
Inspections; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
(a)
At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable notice, the Trustee, any Owner of a Class X-IO, Class P or Class R Certificate, or any agents thereof may inspect the Servicer’s servicing operations and discuss the servicing operations of the Servicer during the Servicer’s normal business hours with any of its officers or directors; provided, however, that the costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection with any such examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer.
(b)
The Servicer (including the Trustee if it shall become the Servicer hereunder) agrees to maintain errors and omissions coverage and a fidelity bond, each at least to the extent required by Section 305 of Part I of FNMA Guide or any successor provision thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the fidelity bond or the errors and omissions coverage is no longer in effect, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Owners.
Section 8.22.
Additional Servicing Responsibilities for Second Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a superior lien for the protection of the Trustee’s interest, where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption.
If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations under a Senior Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the mortgaged property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Owners, and/or to preserve the security of the related Home Equity Loan, subject to the application of the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default or reinstate the Senior Lien, if such advance is in the best interests of the Owners; provided, however, that no such additional advance need be made if such advance would be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Home Equity Loan. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced. Any expenses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.22 shall be Servicing Advances.
Section 8.23.
The Adjustable Rate Home Equity Loans.
The Servicer shall enforce each Adjustable Rate Home Equity Loan in accordance with its terms and shall timely calculate, record, report and apply all interest rate adjustments in accordance with the related Note. The Servicer’s records shall, at all times, reflect the then Coupon Rate and monthly payment and the Servicer shall timely notify the Mortgagor of any changes to the Coupon Rate or the Mortgagor’s monthly payment. If the Servicer fails to make either a timely or accurate adjustment to the Coupon Rate or monthly payment or to notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, upon the Servicer’s discovery of such error and such continued failure, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds any shortage. If the Servicer’s continued failure after notice thereof to make a scheduled change affects the Trust’s rights to make future adjustments under the terms of such Home Equity Loan, the Servicer shall repurchase such Home Equity Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to this Section shall not be an advance and shall not be reimbursable from the proceeds of any Home Equity Loan.
Section 8.24.
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Servicer.
Any corporation, limited liability company or other entity into which the Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, limited liability company or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party or any corporation, limited liability company or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto provided that such corporation, limited liability company or other entity meets the qualifications set forth in Section 8.20(h) and the resulting corporation, limited liability company or other entity has a Tangible Net Worth of at least $15,000,000.
Section 8.25.

(a)
Any default or any fact or event of which the Servicer has knowledge which results, or which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would result in the occurrence of a default by the Seller or the Servicer under any Operative Document or would constitute a material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under any Operative Document;
(b)
The submission of any claim or the initiation of any legal process, litigation or administrative or judicial investigation against the Seller or the Servicer to which the Servicer has knowledge in any federal, state or local court or before any governmental body or agency or before any arbitration board or any such proceedings threatened by any governmental agency, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect upon any of the Seller’s or the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under any Operative Document;
(c)
The commencement of any proceedings by or against the Seller or the Servicer under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or of any proceeding in which a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official shall have been, or may be, appointed or requested for the Seller or the Servicer; and
(d)
The receipt of notice from any agency or governmental body having authority over the conduct of any of the Seller’s or the Servicer’s business that the Seller or the Servicer is to cease or desist, or to undertake, any practice, program, procedure or policy employed by the Seller or the Servicer in the conduct of the business of any of them, and such cessation or undertaking will materially and adversely affect the conduct of the Seller’s or the Servicer’s business or its ability to perform under the Operative Documents or materially and adversely affect the financial affairs of the Seller or the Servicer.
Section 8.26.
Indemnification by the Servicer.
The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Owner harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. A party against whom a claim is brought shall immediately notify the other parties and the Rating Agencies if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee and/or Owner in respect of such claim.
Section 8.27.

Section 8.28.
[Reserved].
Section 8.29.
Advance Facility.
(a)
The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an “Advance Facility”) with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) agrees to fund some or all of the Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or that the Servicer may pledge or assign its rights to be reimbursed for Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances, directly or indirectly, to an Advancing Person, although no such Advance Facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set forth in Section 11.19 hereof a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating the identity of the Advancing Person. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 8.29, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment prepared by the Servicer, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person previously identified in the Advance Facility Notice funds any Delinquency Advance or any Servicing Advance and the Servicer provides the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 8.29(c). Such Officer’s Certificate must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the remittance date, the written payment instructions for the Advancing Person, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and either the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to receive reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, or proof of an Event of Default by the Servicer under the Advance Facility entitling the Advancing Person to reimbursement from the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to conclusively rely without independent investigation on the Officer’s Certificate provided pursuant to this Section 8.29. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances, or who merely receives an assignment or pledge of the Servicer’s rights to be reimbursed for Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances, shall not be required to meet the qualifications of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b)
None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any reimbursement for Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the reimbursement for Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances, except to remit reimbursements in accordance with payment instructions received pursuant to Section 8.29(a). The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer, any Owner and the Trust for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer or any Owner, as the case may be, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that a Servicer Termination Event under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement.
(c)
If an Advance Facility is entered into, and if the Servicer so notifies the Trustee, then the Servicer shall not seek reimbursement for any Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance made by an Advancing Person under Section 8.08(d)(D) and (E) and Section 8.09, but instead the Servicer shall remit the amounts relating to Advances to the Trustee in the monthly remittance made to the Trustee on a Monthly Remittance Date in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee, upon its receipt of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 8.29 hereof, shall pay to the Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian designated in the Officer’s Certificate specified in Section 8.29(a), reimbursements for Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances from the Certificate Account to the same extent the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself from the Principal and Interest Account for such Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Sections 8.08(d)(D) and (E) and Section 8.09, as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Delinquency Advance or Servicing Advance.
(d)
All Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out” (FIFO) basis, such that an advance made earlier in time with respect to any Home Equity Loan shall be reimbursed to the Servicer who made that advance, before reimbursement of an advance made later in time with respect to that Home Equity Loan, and a predecessor Servicer’s advances with respect to any particular Home Equity Loan shall be reimbursed before reimbursement of a successor Servicer’s advances with respect to such Home Equity Loan.
(e)

Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Trustee shall not be liable for losses on investments of amounts in the Certificate Account (except for any losses on obligations on which the bank serving as Trustee is the obligor). In addition, the Depositor and Nationstar Mortgage covenant and agree to indemnify the Trustee and the Servicer (if the Servicer is also the Trustee) and their officers, directors, agents and employees from, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind arising out of or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder other than those resulting from negligence or bad faith. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith on any certificate, notice or other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Authorized Officer of any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. When the Trustee incurs expenses or provides services after the occurrence of a default and the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law involving the Seller or the Servicer, the expenses and fees for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under such laws. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages.
Section 10.14.
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate or Property may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate or separate Trustee or separate Trustees of any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Owners, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case any event indicated in Section 8.20(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 10.08 and no notice to Owner of the appointment of any co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall be required under Section 10.09.
Every separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent permitted, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)
All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or co-Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii)
No co-Trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other co-Trustee hereunder; and
(iii)
The Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Trustees and co-Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section 10.14. Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.
Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
Section 10.15.
Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to this Article X, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01.
Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any application or request by the Depositor, the Seller or the Owners to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the Depositor, the Seller or the Owners, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee a certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate need be furnished.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement (including one furnished pursuant to specific requirements of this Agreement relating to a particular application or request) shall include:
(a)
a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;
(b)
a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; and
(c)
a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.02.
Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee or any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, one or more Authorized Officers of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Trustee, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Trustee, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel’s opinion and shall include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Section 11.03.
Acts of Owners.
(a)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Owners in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Seller. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b)
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(c)
The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Register.
(d)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Owner of any Certificate shall bind the Owner of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
Section 11.04.
Notices, etc. to Trustee.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of the Owners under this Agreement or other documents provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with the Trustee by any Owner, the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.
Section 11.05.
Notices and Reports to Owners; Waiver of Notices.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to Owners of any event or the mailing of any report to Owners, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Owner affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Owner as it appears on the Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Owners is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed to any particular Owner shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Owners, and any notice or report which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is removed or resigned or the Trust is terminated, notice of any such events shall be made by overnight courier, registered mail or telecopy followed by a telephone call.
Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Owners when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to any Rating Agency that rated any Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder.
Section 11.06.
Rules by Trustee.
The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of Owners.
Section 11.07.
Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by any party hereto shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.08.
Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement or in the Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.09.
Benefits of Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Owners and the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; provided that the Swap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.10.
Legal Holidays.
In any case where the date of any Distribution Date, any other date on which any distribution to any Owner is proposed to be paid, or any date on which a notice is required to be sent to any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (with the exception of any Monthly Remittance Date) shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or this Agreement) payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made or mailed on the nominal date of any such Distribution Date, or such other date for the payment of any distribution to any Owner or the mailing of such notice, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day. In any case where the date of any Monthly Remittance Date shall not be a Business Day, then payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but must be made on the preceding Business Day.
Section 11.11.
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a)
In view of the fact that Owners are expected to reside in many states and outside the United States and the desire to establish with certainty that this Agreement will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of a state having a well-developed body of commercial and financial law relevant to transactions of the type contemplated herein, this Agreement and each Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
(b)
The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it or in connection with this Agreement or any of the related documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the related documents or the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.
(c)
Each of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Trustee as its true and lawful attorney and duly authorized agent for acceptance of service of legal process with respect to any action, suit or proceeding set forth in paragraph (b) hereof. Each of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer agrees that service of such process upon the Trustee shall constitute personal service of such process upon it.
(d)
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or affect the right of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to start legal proceedings relating to any of the Home Equity Loans against any Mortgagor in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Section 11.12.
Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.13.
Usury.
The amount of interest payable or paid on any Certificate under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the State of New York or any applicable law of the United States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such applicable New York laws, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). In the event any payment of interest on any Certificate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Trust stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to have been paid to the Owner of such Certificate as a result of an error on the part of the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust and the Owner receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of such Owner, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Certificate, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of Owners of Certificates for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Certificates.
Section 11.14.
Amendment.
(a)
The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer (with respect to any amendment which materially adversely affects the Swap Provider, with the consent of the Swap Provider) may, at any time and from time to time, without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the consent of the Owners, amend this Agreement, and the Trustee shall consent to the amendment, for the purposes of (i) if accompanied by an approving Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters, and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, removing the restriction against the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, (ii) complying with the requirements of the Code including any amendments necessary to maintain REMIC status of each REMIC, (iii) curing any ambiguity, (iv) correcting or supplementing any provisions of this Agreement which are inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement, or (v) for any other purpose, provided that in the case of clause (v), such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect any Owner and such amendment shall not be a significant change that would cause the Trust not to be a QSPE. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Owner if such Owner shall have consented thereto in writing or if there is delivered to the Trustee written notification from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce its then current rating assigned to the Offered Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no such amendment shall (a) change in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed to any Owner without the consent of such Owner or (b) change the percentages of Percentage Interest which are required to consent to any such amendments, without the consent of the Owners of all Certificates of the Class or Classes affected then outstanding. The Trustee shall not be required to execute any amendment or supplement if it affects its rights, duties, immunities or indemnities.
(b)
The Rating Agencies shall be provided by the Seller and the Depositor with copies of any amendments to this Agreement, together with copies of any opinions or other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith.
(c)
Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any of the Certificates are outstanding.
(d)
The Trustee may, at any time and from time to time, amend the Swap Agreement, if such amendment is requested by the Swap Provider, provided such amendments are not significant changes that would cause the Trust not to be a QSPE, for the purposes of (i) curing any ambiguity in or (ii) correcting or supplementing any provisions of, the Swap Agreement, if accompanied by an approving Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters, which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment will not adversely affect the interests of the related Certificateholders.
Section 11.15.
Paying Agent; Appointment and Acceptance of Duties.
The Trustee is hereby appointed Paying Agent. The Seller may, if such Person meets the eligibility requirements for the Trustee set forth in Section 10.08 hereof, appoint one or more other Paying Agents or successor Paying Agents.
Each Paying Agent, immediately upon such appointment shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement by written instrument of acceptance deposited with the Trustee.
Each such Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, that such Paying Agent will:
(a)
allocate all sums received for distribution to the Owners of Certificates of each Class for which it is acting as Paying Agent on each Distribution Date among such Owners in the proportion specified by the Trustee; and
(b)
hold all sums held by it for the distribution of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Owners entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Owners or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided.
Any Paying Agent other than the Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this Agreement by giving at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Trustee. Any such Paying Agent may be removed at any time by an instrument filed with such Paying Agent and signed by the Trustee.
In the event of the resignation or removal of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee such Paying Agent shall pay over, assign and deliver any moneys held by it as Paying Agent to its successor, or if there be no successor, to the Trustee.
Upon the appointment, removal or notice of resignation of any Paying Agent, the Trustee shall notify the Owners by mailing notice thereof at their addresses appearing on the Register.
Section 11.16.
REMIC Status.
(a)
The parties hereto intend that each REMIC created hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of each REMIC created hereunder shall be conducted so as to qualify it as a REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or such other person designated pursuant to Section 11.18 hereof shall act as agent for the Trust and as Tax Matters Person for the Trust and that in such capacity it shall: (i) prepare or cause to be prepared and filed, at its own expense, in a timely manner, annual tax returns and any other tax return required to be filed by each REMIC created hereunder using a calendar year as the taxable year for such REMIC; (ii) in the related first such tax return, make (or cause to be made) an election satisfying the requirements of the REMIC Provisions, on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder, for it to be treated as a REMIC; (iii) at the Tax Matters Person’s expense, prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Owners all information, reports or tax returns required with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, including Schedule Q to Form 1066, as, when and in the form required to be provided to the Owners, and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to “original issue discount” as defined in the Code based upon the prepayment assumption and calculated by using the “Issue Price” (within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code) of the Certificates of the related Class; provided that the tax return filed on Schedule Q to Form 1066 shall be prepared and forwarded to the Owners of the Class R Certificates no later than 50 days after the end of the period to which such tax return was due; (iv) not take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC created hereunder, except as provided under this Agreement; (v) represent the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to a taxable year of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust or each REMIC created hereunder (the legal expenses and costs of any such action described in this subsection (v) and any liability resulting therefrom shall constitute expenses of the Trust and shall constitute Trustee Reimbursable Expenses, unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Trustee’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence); (vi) comply with all statutory or regulatory requirements with regard to its conduct of activities pursuant to the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.16, including, without limitation, providing all notices and other information to the Internal Revenue Service and Owners of Class R Certificates required of a “tax matters person” pursuant to subtitle F of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; (vii) make available information necessary for the computation of any tax imposed (A) on transfer of residual interests to certain Disqualified Organizations or (B) on pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by a Disqualified Organization; and (viii) acquire and hold the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest. The obligations of the Trustee or such other designated Tax Matters Person pursuant to this Section 11.16 shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.
(b)
The Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer covenant and agree for the benefit of the Owners (i) to take no action which would result in the termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder, (ii) not to engage in any “prohibited transaction”, as such term is defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, (iii) not to engage in any other action which may result in the imposition on the Trust of any other taxes under the Code and (iv) to cause the Servicer not to take or engage in any such action, to the extent that the Seller is aware of any such proposed action by the Servicer.
(c)
Each REMIC created hereunder shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books on a calendar year basis and report income on an accrual basis.
(d)
Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.05(b), no Eligible Investment shall be sold prior to its stated maturity (unless sold pursuant to a plan of liquidation in accordance with Article IX hereof).
(e)
None of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trustee will receive a fee or other compensation for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (d) and (e), the Trustee or the Seller may engage in any of the transactions prohibited by such clauses, provided that the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust or cause a termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder; provided, however, that such transaction is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
(g)
In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the Trust after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee if such tax arises out of or results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in performance by the Trustee of any of its obligations under Article X, or (ii) to the Servicer if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article VIII or otherwise.
Section 11.17.
Additional Limitation on Action and Imposition of Tax.
Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not, without having obtained an Opinion of Counsel experienced in federal income tax matters at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trust to the effect that such transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder or cause a termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder, (i) sell any assets in the Trust Estate, (ii) accept any contribution of assets after the Startup Day, (iii) allow the Servicer to foreclose upon any Home Equity Loan if such foreclosure would result in a tax on the Trust or any REMIC created hereunder or cause termination of REMIC status for any REMIC created hereunder or (iv) agree to any modification of this Agreement. To the extent that sufficient amounts cannot be so retained to pay or provide for the payment of such tax, the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any such Prohibited Transactions of each REMIC created hereunder and use such income, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax; provided that, to the extent that any such income is paid to the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of Class R Certificates and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Owners of Offered Certificates to the extent they are fully reimbursed and then to the Owners of the Class R Certificates. If any tax, including interest penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the owners of the Class R Certificates on a pro rata basis. The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).
Section 11.18.
Appointment of Tax Matters Person.
A Tax Matters Person will be appointed for each REMIC created hereunder for all purposes of the Code and such Tax Matters Person will perform, or cause to be performed, such duties and take, or cause to be taken, such actions as are required to be performed or taken by the Tax Matters Person under the Code. The Tax Matters Person for each REMIC created hereunder shall be the Trustee as long as it owns a Class R Certificate. If the Trustee does not own a Class R Certificate, the Tax Matters Person will be the holder of the largest percentage interest in the Class R Certificates. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed to act as the agent of the Tax Matters Person for all purposes of the Code and regulations thereunder.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides that the Servicer may, at its option, purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Certificates, on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date. In addition, under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, the Home Equity Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Owners; provided that in certain other circumstances provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such consent of the Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate.

The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides that the Servicer may, at its option, purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Certificates, on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date. In addition, under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, the Home Equity Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides that the Servicer may, at its option, purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the Certificates, on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean-Up Call Date. In addition, under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, the Home Equity Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.

1.
That (i) the Investor is not a “disqualified organization” and will not be a “disqualified organization” as of [date of transfer] (For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than certain taxable instrumentalities), any cooperative organization furnishing electric energy or providing telephone service to persons in rural areas, or any organization (other than a farmers’ cooperative) that is exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business income.); (ii) it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate for the account of a disqualified organization; (iii) it consents to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Trustee (upon advice of counsel) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will not be owned directly or indirectly by a disqualified organization; and (iv) it will not transfer such Class R Certificate unless (a) it has received from the transferee an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit containing these same four representations and (b) as of the time of the transfer, it does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false.
2.
That the Investor is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to a disqualified organization; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middle-man) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
3.
That the Investor is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
4.
That the Investor is aware that the Trustee will not register the Transfer of the Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferees' agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Investor expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
5.
The Investor's Taxpayer Identification Number is [_________________].
6.
That no purpose of the Investor relating to the purchase of the Class R Certificates by the Investor is or will be to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c).
7.
That the Investor has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding and that it intends to pay such taxes as they become due.
8.
The Investor hereby agrees to cooperate with the Depositor and to take any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder (whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of each REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
9.
The Investor as transferee of the Class R Certificates has represented to the transferor that, if the Class R Certificates constitute a noneconomic residual interest, the Investor (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its holding of the Class R Certificates as they become due.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Investor has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Title of Officer] and its corporate seal to be hereunto attached, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ___ day of __________, 2006.

For purposes of this Transaction, a “Ratings Event” shall occur with respect to Party A (or any applicable credit support provider), if its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is reduced below “A-1” by S&P or ceases to be rated at least “P-1” by Moody’s (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by Party A or any applicable credit support provider) such ratings being referred to herein as the “Approved Ratings Thresholds.” Only with respect to such Ratings Event, “Exposure” shall mean the greater of the following: (i) the xxxx-to-market value of the Transaction as of the Valuation Date (as such term is defined in the ISDA Credit Support Annex); (ii) the amount of the next payment due under the Transaction; and (iii) one percent of the Notional Amount for the respective Calculation Period.

(n)
Additional Termination Events

a Ratings Event or Further Ratings Event has occurred and Party A has not complied with (m) above, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event; or
(ii)
if without the consent of Party A, Party B amends, supplements or otherwise modifies the Pooling and Servicing Agreement if such amendment, supplement or modification would materially adversely affect Party A, as solely determined by Party A, in its reasonable discretion (provided that without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that any reduction in the priority of payments to Party A, any change in the timing of payments to Party A or any reduction in quantity or quality of collateral available with respect to payments owing to Party A shall automatically be considered for the purposes of this clause to be materially adverse to Party A), and Party B shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event; or
(iii)
if (A) Nationstar Funding LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), still has a reporting obligation with respect to this Transaction pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and (B) Party A has not, within 30 days after receipt of a Swap Disclosure Request (as defined below), complied with the provisions set forth in paragraph (r) below (provided that if the significance percentage increases to 10% or 20% (as the case may be) after a Swap Disclosure Request has been made to Party A, Party A must comply with the provisions set forth in paragraph q below within 10 days of Party A being informed of the significance percentage reaching 10% or 20%), then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
(iv)
If, at any time, an affiliate of the Depositor exercises its clean-up call option pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred and Party B shall be the sole Affected Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the Form Master Agreement, both Party A and Party B shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event; provided, further, that the Early Termination Date shall not be prior to the Clean-Up Date.

(r)
Compliance with Regulation AB
(i)
Party A acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under the 1934 Act, the Depositor is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, as amended (“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain information set forth in Regulation AB regarding Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance percentage” of this Agreement (as such term is used in Regulation AB) and any other derivative contracts between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii)
Subject to the provisions of subsection (iii) below, and so long as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under the 1934 Act, if the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, in its sole discretion, that the significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to 9 percent, then the Depositor may request on such date of determination from Party A the same information set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance percentage had in fact increased to 10 percent (such request, a “Swap Disclosure Request” and such requested information, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, is the “Swap Financial Disclosure”). Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A with the calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party A with respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request, provided that such determination of the significance percentage shall be in the Depositor’s sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith. The parties hereto further agree that the Swap Financial Disclosure provided to meet a Swap Disclosure Request under this subsection (ii) may be, solely at Party A’s option, either the information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB.
(iii)
So long as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under the 1934 Act, if the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, in its sole discretion, that the significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to 19 percent, then the Depositor may make a Swap Disclosure Request to Party A on such date of determination for Swap Financial Disclosure that would have been required if the significance percentage had in fact increased to 20 percent (and, accordingly, consists of the information set forth in Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB). Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A with the calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party A with respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request, provided that such determination of the significance percentage shall be in the Depositor’s sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith.
(iv)
Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, Party A, at its own expense, shall (i) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, (ii) subject to the Rating Agency Condition, secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure or (iii) subject to the Rating Agency Condition, obtain a guaranty of Party A’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of Party A that is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure, such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act. For purposes of clause (ii) above, the parties agree that, subject to the Rating Agency Condition, National Westminster Bank Plc (“NatWest”) shall be an acceptable replacement for Party A, so long as NatWest is able to provide suitable Swap Financial Disclosure.
(v)
The parties agree that the Depositor and Nationstar Mortgage LLC, in its capacity as sponsor, are third-party beneficiaries to Party A’s undertakings under this paragraph (r).
(s)
No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction shall be permitted by either party unless (i) each party has given prior written consent to the other party and (ii) each of Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc.

(“Moody’s”) have been provided notice of such modification and confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) within five Business Days after such notice is given that it will not downgrade, withdraw or modify its then-current rating of the Nationstar Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-B (the “Securities”).
