(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Company or any designee of the Company or any corporation in which the

(nnn) [Reserved]

Each FHA Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with FHA standards and is fully-insured by the FHA, which insurance is in full force and effect, and the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any defect which would diminish or impair the FHA insurance, and all prior transfers, if any, of the Mortgage Loan have been, and the transactions herein contemplated are, in compliance with the FHA regulations, and no circumstances exist with respect to the FHA Mortgage Loans which would permit the FHA to deny coverage under the FHA insurance; and each VA Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with VA standards and is guaranteed by the VA, which guaranty is in full force and effect, and the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any defect which would diminish or impair the VA guaranty (other than a potential valuation of the mortgaged property), and all prior

-36-

transfers, if any, of the Mortgage Loan have been, and the transactions herein contemplated are, in compliance with the VA regulations, and no circumstances exist with respect to the VA Mortgage Loan which would permit the VA to deny coverage under the VA guaranty.

(qqq) Origination Practices/No Steering. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. For a Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the standard products, unless such Mortgagor requested a specific product;

(rrr) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely solely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;

(sss) Points and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides and “points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title

-37-

examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges which miscellaneous fees and charges in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan;

(ttt) Fees Charges. All points, fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;

(uuu) Second Lien Loans. With respect to each Second Lien Loan:

(i) No Negative Amortization of Related First Lien Loan. The related first lien loan does not permit negative amortization;

(ii) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. Where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and the Seller has notified such senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against the Mortgagor by such senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien loan or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the related Mortgage File;

(iii) No Default Under First Lien. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the related first lien loan is in full force and effect, and there is no default lien, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or mortgage note, and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration under such first lien loan;

(iv) Right to Cure First Lien. The related first lien mortgage contains a provision which provides for giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first lien mortgage; and

(v) Principal Residence. The related Mortgaged Property is the Mortgagor’s principal residence.

Section 3.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing

-38-

representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser, or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan (in the case of any of the foregoing, a “Breach”), the party discovering such Breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Company’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Company or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Company’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any Breach of a representation or warranty, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a Breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such Breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such Breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. However, if the Breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and the Company discovers or receives notice of any such Breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option and provided that the Company has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that no such substitution shall be effected after the Mortgage Loan has been conveyed as part of a Reconstitution transaction as described in Section 9.01 hereof and no such substitution shall occur later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Company has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this paragraph, (i) within 60 days after the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Company of any breach of the representation or warranty set forth in clauses (g), (i), (mm), (oo), (tt), (vv), (xx), (yy), (fff), (lll), (mmm), (ppp), (rrr), (sss), (ttt) or (uuu) of Section 3.02, the Company shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In

-39-

the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Company shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section 2.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.03. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Company. For the month of substitution, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Company shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Company in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Company substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Company shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount equal to the product of such shortfall multiplied by the percentage of par set forth in the definition of “Repurchase Price” shall be distributed by the Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Company shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal such amount.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 3.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the Breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) the failure by the Company to cure such Breach or repurchase

-40-

such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) any demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgagor is 30 or more days delinquent with respect to any of the Mortgage Loan’s first two (2) Monthly Payments due to the Purchaser after the related Closing Date, the Company shall, upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser, which notice shall be received within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date, promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3.03 at the Purchase Price set forth in the Purchase Price and Terms Letter; provided, however, that no right to cure set forth therein shall apply.

Section 3.04 Review of Mortgage Loans.

On or before the related Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Files on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing Date. In addition, the Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan which in the Purchaser’s sole determination (i) fails to conform to Underwriting Guidelines, (ii) is underwritten without verification of the Mortgagor’s income and assets and there is no credit report or FICO Score, (iii) the Purchaser deems the Mortgage Loan to not be an acceptable credit risk, or (iv) the value of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any BPO varies by more than plus or minus 15% from the lesser of (A) the original appraised value of the Mortgaged Property or (B) the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of origination. In the event that the Purchaser so rejects any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall repurchase the rejected Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price in the manner prescribed in Section 3.03 upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser of any notice of its decision to reject such Mortgage Loan. Any rejected Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall make available all files required by Purchaser in order to complete its review, including all CRA/HMDA required data fields. To the extent that during the course of the Purchaser’s initial review, the Purchaser discovers that the Mortgage Loans do not otherwise meet the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines or the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right to carry out additional due diligence reviews, which additional due diligence shall be at the expense of the Purchaser. Purchaser’s decision to increase its due diligence review or obtain additional BPO’s or other property evaluations is at its sole discretion. The additional review may be for any reason including but not limited to credit quality, property valuations, and data integrity. Any review performed by the Purchaser prior to the related Closing Date does not limit the Purchaser’s rights or the Company’s obligations under this section.

Section 3.05 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans that Prepay in Full; Certain Defaults; Missing Documents.

(a) If any Mortgage Loan is prepaid in full (i) during the two days immediately preceding the Closing Date or (ii) during the period of time beginning on the related Closing Date ending on and including the last day of the second calendar month immediately following the related Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days of such prepayment in full, an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price Percentage and par, multiplied by the then outstanding principal balance of

-41-

such Mortgage Loan (less, in the case of any prepayment accompanied by a prepayment premium, the amount of such prepayment premium).

(b) The Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan for which the legal documentation is missing or defective; provided, however, that no document shall be deemed to be missing under this Section 3.05 prior to the tenth day after the related Closing Date, which period may be subject to one 30-day extension, at the discretion of the Purchaser for a total of 40 days. Such rejected Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Purchaser shall notify the Company of any such rejected Mortgage Loan no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date.

(c) The Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Price and Terms Letter. Such rejected Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Purchaser shall notify the Company of any such rejected Mortgage Loan no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, with respect to any action to be taken or not taken with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that requires the consent or approval of the Purchaser, after a Securitization Transaction with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, such consent shall be exercised by the Company as servicer of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Standards.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Company shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent and the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the Company shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Mortgage Loan including any modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof unless (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,

-42-

receivership or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or is otherwise prohibited by law, or (ii) the enforceability thereof shall have been permanently limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iii) in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, (x) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is standard and customary in servicing Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or reasonably foreseeable default). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, in no event will the Servicer waive a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. If the Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as permitted above, the Servicer shall deposit from its own funds without any right of reimbursement therefor the amount of such Prepayment Penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any waiver of a Prepayment Penalty by the Servicer, the Servicer shall account for such waiver in its monthly reports as agreed upon by the Servicer and the Purchaser. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and interest due at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchasers, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans (similar in quality to the Mortgage Loans) for its own account, and shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Company.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is a Xxxxxx Xxx-approved servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Company may perform any of its

-43-

servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01 or 11.02, and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or other applicable insurance or guaranty, if any. In

-44-

the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that, prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company’s intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within 10 Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector, the Company shall cause such property to be inspected by a qualified environmental consulting firm. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due

-45-

and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “National City Mortgage Co., as Servicer, in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. and/or subsequent Purchasers of fixed and adjustable rate Mortgage Loans.” The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date, (which amounts shall be remitted to the Company), or with respect to each LPMI Loan, the amount of the LPMI Fee):

(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14), Section 4.11 and Section 4.15;

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;

(vi) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.09, 5.01, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;

-46-

(vii) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.05 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;

(viii) with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, to be paid by the Company out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Company’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received by the Company for such month for the Mortgage Loans;

(ix) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; and

(x) any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Ancillary Income, including late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05. Prior to changing the location of the Custodial Account, the Company shall give notice to the Purchaser of such change, which notice shall set forth the new location of the Custodial Account when established. The Company shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 4.04. All funds required to be deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Purchaser until withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.05.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.06 or

-47-

6.02, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds (not required to be remitted to the Mortgagor) and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser except where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05 or 6.02, in which case the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay itself any investment earnings accrued on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(v) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 9.01;

(vi) to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.16 related to any REO Property, it being understood that in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property;

(vii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(viii) to withdraw funds deposited in error.

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05. The Company shall keep and maintain a separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawals from the Custodial Account.

Section 4.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “National City Mortgage Co., as Servicer, in trust for the

-48-

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and

(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(ii) to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

-49-

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;

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

(vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement; and

(viii) to withdraw funds deposited in error.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, if any, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company 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 Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 4.09 Protection of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

The Company shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Company be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Company shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Company) that maintains the Custodial Account or the

-50-

Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Company and may be withdrawn at any time by the Company. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Company out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”) or by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac, GNMA or VA, as applicable, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If the related Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best’s or in accordance with then current Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac, GNMA or VA guidelines, as applicable, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the then current Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac or GNMA guidelines, as applicable, that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

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

-51-

The Company shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property earthquake or such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

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

All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best’s or meet Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac or GNMA requirements, as applicable, and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Company shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.

Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. Any such policy shall be issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI or better. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have

-52-

been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Company’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to such Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy that meets the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Company Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac or GNMA, as applicable. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.13 Inspections.

The Company shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Company to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Company immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing

-53-

Practices. At a minimum, the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i) the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii) the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(iii) the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv) pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI and LPMI Policy; Claims.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80%, the Company shall:

(i) with respect to Mortgage Loans which are not LPMI Loans, in accordance with state and federal laws and without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter) of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is

-54-

terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

(ii) with respect to LPMI Loans, maintain in full force and effect an LPMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter) of value, and from time to time, withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such LPMI Loan from the Custodial Account in order to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, for the term of such Mortgage Loan. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to any LPMI Loan are less than the LPMI Fee, the Company shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Fee, in payment of the premium on the related LPMI Policy. Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions on Section 4.05. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

(b) In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

(c) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either obtain an additional PMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has a PMI Policy in place, or (ii) obtain a PMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does not already have a PMI Policy in place. In any event, the Company agrees to administer such PMI Policies in accordance with the Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.

Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of FV-1, Inc., or in the event the Purchaser is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser and if an election is or is to be made to treat the arrangement under which any Mortgage Loan and any REO Property are held as a real estate mortgage investment conduit within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code (a “REMIC”), the Company shall service each such Mortgage Loan and REO Property in a manner which does not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code and the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year (but in no event in excess of three years) is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and

-56-

the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03, and on the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, a Subservicer, or the Company itself, which fees shall not exceed $1,500 per Mortgage Loan. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in the Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, the Purchaser may at its election terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more REO Properties as provided by Section 11.02.

Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Company pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Not later than the 5^th Business Day of each month (or if such 5^th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next succeeding such 5^th day), the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser in electronic form monthly reports in the form of a standard Fidelity report in “Microsoft Excel” format with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the period from but including the first day of the preceding calendar month through but excluding the first day of such month.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI or LPMI Policy, if any.

If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes

-62-

liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement, such fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by Xxxxxx Xxx with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the monthly reports as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. In connection with any such prepayment in full, the Company shall comply with all applicable laws regarding satisfaction, release or reconveyance with respect to the Mortgage.

If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee shall be payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments collected by the Company.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees and Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the

-63-

Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.04 Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company, whether held by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.

(d) deliver an opinion of counsel (which can be an opinion of in-house counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser; provided that any out-of-pocket, third party expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Purchaser; and

(i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Company, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall request;

The Purchaser shall pay all third party costs associated with the preparation of such information. The Company shall execute any Reconstitution Agreements required within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such Reconstitution Agreements which time shall be reasonably sufficient for the Company and Company’s counsel to review such Reconstitution Agreements and unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the Company’s obligations under any document executed in conjunction with such a Transfer or Reconstitution shall not exceed its obligations to the Purchaser under this Agreement. Under this Agreement, the Company shall retain a servicing fee at a rate per annum equal to no less than 0.25% per Mortgage Loan; and

-65-

(iv) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such participant, including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate designated by the Purchaser and each Person who controls the Purchaser or such affiliate and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any way related to any false statements or omissions with respect to information provided by or on behalf of the Company regarding the Company, the Company’s servicing practices or performance, the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution. If such indemnification is not available, the Company shall contribute to such losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses in proportion to the Company’s relative benefit and fault, in which case the relative benefit for the Company, and the persons related thereto, will be measured relative to the Purchase Price and the relative benefit of the Purchaser and the persons related thereto, will be measured relative to the underwriting discount received in connection with the Whole Loan Transfer and/or Securitization Transaction. But, in no event shall the Company be obligated to any greater extent under a Reconstitution Agreement than it is under this Agreement. For purposes of this section, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Company hold record title to the Mortgages, prior to a Reconstitution Date the Company or its designee shall prepare an Assignment of Mortgage in blank from the Company, acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac, the trustee or such third party, as the case may be, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated therewith. The Company shall execute each Assignment of Mortgage, track such Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by Xxxxxx Mae, Xxxxxxx Mac, the trustee or such third party, as the case may be, upon the Company’s receipt thereof. Additionally, the Company shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note endorsements in connection with any and all Reconstitution Agreements.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchaser, with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package, the Company will not be obligated to enter into any Reconstitution Agreement in connection with a Securitization Transaction or Whole Loan Transfer in excess of any express restrictions set forth in the related Assignment and Conveyance and related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.

The Company further agrees that it will service the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of any Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements which are in addition to those set forth in the Servicing Guides. The Company acknowledges that the Purchaser may from to time sell or transfer certain of the Mortgage Loans to Xxxxxx Mae and/ or Xxxxxxx Mac or deliver certain securities secured by the Mortgage Loans to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac to be guaranteed.

THE COMPANY

Section 9.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) Breaches of Representations and Warranties. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and any successor servicer and each of their present and former officers, directors, representatives, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to any assertion based on, grounded upon or resulting from a breach of any of the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants contained herein (including any losses incurred in connection with any repurchase hereunder). The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Purchaser shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Company agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Purchaser unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 9.01(a), the Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to seek damages. The indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall survive any Reconstitution of the Mortgage Loans or termination of this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 3.03 and 9.01(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a Breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02.

-68-

(b) Servicing. The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and any successor servicer and each of their present and former officers, directors, representatives, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and forfeitures, including, but not limited to reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to (a) perform its duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this agreement or service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, and/or (b) comply with applicable law. The Company immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, shall promptly notify Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac, or the trustee with respect to any claim made by a third party with respect to any Reconstitution Agreement, assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any reasonable written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Company’s indemnification pursuant to Section 3.03, or the failure of the Company to (a) service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement, and/or (b) comply with applicable law.

Section 9.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that in the event that such successor servicer is not acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the successor servicer’s rights under this servicing agreement without payment of any Termination Fee.

Section 9.03 Limitation on Liability of Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any Breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in

-69-

strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing in this provision shall protect the Company against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. The Company and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability, provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action except when such expenses and costs are subject to the Company’s indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 9.04 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Company.

The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Company and subsequent Purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Company, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Company shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a Subservicer) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 9.04, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof (to other than a Subservicer) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or any third party.

If the Company obtains knowledge of an Event of Default, the Company shall notify the Purchaser. In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

Upon receipt by the Company of such written notice, all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from any Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Purchaser any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Company’s sole expense. The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 10.02 Waiver of Defaults.

By a written notice, the Purchaser may waive any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 11.01 Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon either: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of any REO Property with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser in writing. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things

-72-

necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company’s sole expense.

Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, the Company shall give the Purchaser prompt written notice in the event that (i) a Mortgage Loan becomes delinquent for a period of 90 days or more (a “Delinquent Mortgage Loan”) or (ii) a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the Funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article 13 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings to the extent such comparable disclosures in unregistered offerings are consistent with industry practice. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder that are applicable to any Securitization Transaction

-78-

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

Section 13.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(a) The Company shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Section 13.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date (unless otherwise previously disclosed in information the Company has provided under Section 13.03): (i) the Company is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Company; (ii) the Company has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving the Company as servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Company; (iv) no material changes to the Company’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the settlement date of the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Company’s financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Company of its servicing obligations under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Company, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator; and (vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Company, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Section 13.03, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to within five (5) Business Days, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days following such request, confirm in writing, fax or mail, the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this

(iii) Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (B) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (C) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.

(iv) Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 13.07, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested the Company to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, and the Company shall have failed to reimburse the indemnified party for such fees and expenses for a period of 60 days after receipt of such request, the indemnified party shall have the right to notify the Company that it is terminating the Company as servicer under this Agreement without cause and without payment of any termination fee. If the Company thereafter fails to fully reimburse the indemnified party for such fees and expenses within 15 days

-90-

after receipt of such notice, the Company shall be automatically terminated as servicer under this Agreement, it being understood that no termination of the Company as servicer under this Agreement shall effect the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, which shall survive any such termination.

(d) Except for remedies under this Agreement and remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive relief, the rights under this Article 13 shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Article 13 (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or therein).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated under this Article 13 to indemnify a Person otherwise entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any indemnifiable claims or losses that result directly from the willful misconduct, bad faith or grossly negligent acts or omissions of such indemnified party.

[FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY]

(Date)

[PURCHASER]

Re:

Fourth Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1 , 2006

Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to [COMPANY], a _______________ (the “Company”), in connection with the sale of certain loans by the Company to _____________________ (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to (i) a Fourth Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2006, between the Company and the Purchaser, as the same my be amended from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”) and each Purchase Price and Terms Letter, executed by the parties in connection with a sale of loans between the Company and the Purchaser (the “Purchase Price and Terms Letter”)]. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

A. The Purchase Agreement;

B. The Purchase Price and Terms Letter;

The Company’s [Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws] [certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement], as amended to date; and

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company with specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion (the “Board Resolutions”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

J-1

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly [incorporated] [formed] and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Company has the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter] (sometimes collectively, the “Agreements”).

2. The Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Purchase Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter], or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter], except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

5. Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Company as provided in the Purchase Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter,] nor the fulfillment of the terns of or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement [and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter] will result in a breach of any term or provision of the [certificate of incorporation or by-laws] [certificate of limited partnership or limited partnership agreement] of the Company, or, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of Ohio or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) any order of any State of Ohio or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

J-2

7. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Company have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under each of the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, have been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

B. My opinion expressed in paragraphs 3 and 7 above is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or ether laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

C. I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Company, the Purchaser and any other party which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of Ohio and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Ohio and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,

Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.

(b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided,further, however, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.

(d) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s], their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s] or any such affiliate, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates or Private Certificates.
