month
immediately succeeding the month in which such payment was first due, or, if
there is not such corresponding day (e.g., as when a 30-day month follows a

of
this definition by virtue of the related Mortgagor having made payment to the
prior servicer.
Distribution

Commencing in September 2006, the 25th
day of
each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business

exclusive of any days of grace. With respect to the Mortgage Loans for which

provided the Servicer has the capability to immediately segregate funds and
commence remittance to an Eligible Deposit Account upon a downgrade;
or
(ii) the
corporate trust department of a federal depository institution or
state-chartered depository institution subject to regulations regarding

acting in its respective commercial capacity) incorporated or organized under
the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and subject to
supervision and examination by federal or state banking authorities, so long
as
at the time of investment or the contractual commitment providing for such
investment the commercial paper or other short-term debt obligations of such
depository institution or trust company (or, in the case of a depository
institution or trust company which is the principal subsidiary of a holding
company, the commercial paper or other short-term debt or deposit obligations
of
such holding company or deposit institution, as the case may be) have been
rated
by each Rating Agency in its highest short-term rating category or one of its

Eligible Investments in the Trust Custodial Account; provided,
further,
that
such securities will not be Eligible Investments if they are published as being
under review with negative implications from either Rating Agency;
(v) commercial
paper (including both non-interest-bearing discount obligations and
interest-bearing obligations payable on demand or on a specified date not more
than 180 days after the date of issuance thereof) rated by each Rating Agency
in
its highest short-term rating category;
(vi) a
Qualified GIC (as defined in the Trust Agreement);
(vii) certificates
or receipts representing direct ownership interests in future interest or
principal payments on obligations of the United States of America or its

(viii) any
other
demand, money market, common trust fund or time deposit or obligation, or

SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01. Servicer
to Service.
The
Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans from and after the Closing Date and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices.
The
Seller and the Servicer additionally agree as follows:
(a) The
Servicer shall (A) record or cause to be recorded the Mortgage or the Assignment
of Mortgage, as applicable, with respect to all MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans,
in
the name of MERS, or shall ascertain that such have previously been so recorded;
(B) prepare or cause to be prepared all Assignments of Mortgage with respect
to
all Non-MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans; (C) prepare for recording or cause to
be
recorded, subject to Section 2.02(b) hereof, all Assignments of Mortgage with
respect to Non-MERS Mortgage Loans in the name of the Trust; (D) pay the

and Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have been recorded. The Servicer
shall be entitled to be paid by the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, its
out-of-pocket costs for the preparation and recordation of the Mortgages and
Assignments of Mortgage. After the expenses of such recording costs pursuant
to
Section 2.02 hereof shall have been paid by the Servicer, the Servicer shall
submit to the Seller a reasonably detailed invoice for reimbursement of
recording costs it incurred hereunder. The Seller, upon receipt of an invoice,
shall reimburse the Servicer within five (5) Business Days;
17
(b) If
applicable, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions
of
the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as the same
may
be amended from time to time, and the regulations provided in accordance with
the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, provide notice to the Mortgagor
of
each Mortgage Loan of the transfer of the servicing thereto to the
Servicer.
(c) The
Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of and costs associated with
notifications to Mortgagors of the assumption of servicing by the
Servicer.
(d) The
Servicer shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act
of 1970, as amended (the “Fair Credit Reporting Act”) and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
favorable

Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit
repositories) on a monthly basis.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.15 hereof,
the Servicer may waive any late payment charge, assumption fee or other fee
(other than a Prepayment Charge) that may be collected in the ordinary course
of
servicing the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not make any future advances
to
any Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan, and (unless the Mortgagor is in default
with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification
of any material term of any Mortgage Loan, including any modification that
would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate (except for modifications relating to Relief
Act Reduction), 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. In the
event
of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal
payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such
principal or interest payment has been deferred, make a Monthly Advance in
accordance with Section 4.03, in an amount equal to the difference between
(a)
such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount
paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
such
advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section
4.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on
behalf of itself and the Trustee, 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; provided, further, that the Servicer shall notify the
related Custodian of the related Mortgage Loan of such full release or
discharge. Upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer, within the later of fifteen days from the Closing
Date
or within fifteen days of such Servicer request, any powers of attorney (one
for
each county in which any of the Mortgaged Properties are located) and other
documents, furnished to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
18
The
Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceedings solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating
the Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent
to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do
business in any state. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and
all
costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with
the
negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the
Servicer.
Promptly
after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer copies
of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment
of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause the REMIC or trust fund created
under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the
Code.
Section
3.02. Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continually
from the Closing Date until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments
due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable
and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments
and
all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments
payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when
they become due and payable.
Section
3.03. Establishment
of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general

Corporation in
trust
for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Structured Asset Securities
Corporation Series 2006-BC2 Trust Fund” and referred to herein as the “Trust
Custodial Account.” The Trust Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Deposit

Trust Custodial Account may be invested in Eligible Investments subject to
the

furnished to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and, upon request, to any
subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans.

the
Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor;
(vii) with
respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest
Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution, made from the
Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement up to a maximum amount equal to the
Compensating Interest Maximum Amount;
(viii) all
Monthly Advances made by the Servicer or an Advancing Person pursuant to Section
4.03;
(ix) any

Policy;
(xiii) any
amounts received by it under any PMI Policy; and
20
(xiv) any
other
amount required hereunder to be deposited by the Servicer in the Trust Custodial

foregoing requirements for deposit into the Trust Custodial Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing payments in the nature of (i) late payment charges and
insufficient fund charges, (ii) assumption fees, (iii) other Ancillary Income
and (iv) the Servicing Fee need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Trust
Custodial Account.
Any
interest paid on funds deposited in the Trust Custodial Account by the
depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer as additional
servicing compensation and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw
such interest from the Trust Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04 (iv)
of
this Agreement. Additionally, any other benefit derived from the Trust Custodial
Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation of principal,
interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. shall accrue for
the
benefit of the Servicer.
Section
3.04. Permitted
Withdrawals From Custodial Account.
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Trust Custodial
Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Master Servicer in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in
Section 4.01;
(ii) in
the
event the Servicer has elected not to retain the Servicing Fee out of any
Mortgagor payments on account of interest or other recovery of interest with
respect to a particular Mortgage Loan (including late collections of interest
on
such Mortgage Loan, or interest portions of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) prior to the deposit of such Mortgagor
payment or recovery in the Trust Custodial Account, to pay to itself the related

such recovery for interest with respect to that Mortgage Loan;
(iii) to
pay
itself investment earnings on funds deposited in the Trust Custodial
Account;
(iv) to

21
(vii) to

for
Monthly Advances of the Servicer’s funds made pursuant to Section 4.03. The
Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (vii) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on or in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan which represent late recoveries of payments
of principal or interest with respect to which a Monthly Advance was made,
it
being understood that in the case of any such reimbursement the Servicer’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Trust Fund;
provided, however,
that
following the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may reimburse
itself for previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances in excess of Liquidation
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
with respect to such Mortgage Loan from any funds in the Trust Custodial
Account, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the
Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Trust Fund. The
Servicer may recover at any time from amounts on deposit in the Trust Custodial
Account the amount of any Monthly Advances that the Servicer deems
nonrecoverable or that remain unreimbursed to the Servicer from related
Liquidation Proceeds after the final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan. In
addition, the Servicer may, at any time, withdraw from the Trust Custodial
Account funds that were not included in the Total Distribution Amount (as
defined in the Trust Agreement) for the preceding Distribution Date to reimburse
itself for Monthly Advances previously made by the Servicer;
(viii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid
Servicing Fees, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this
subclause (viii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition
Proceeds and other amounts received in respect of the related REO Property,
and
such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or
otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case
of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Trust Fund; provided,
however,
that
following the final liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
may
reimburse itself for any such unreimbursed Servicing Advances or any unpaid
Servicing Fees in excess of such Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage
Loan
from any funds in the Trust Custodial Account, it being understood that, in
case
of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Trust Fund;
(ix) to
reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by, and reimbursable to, the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03, but only to extent such amounts are
determined to be reimbursable by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
6.03;
(x) to
reimburse itself for expenses incurred or reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.12 to the extent not previously reimbursed under clause (ix) of
this Section 3.04;
(xi) to
withdraw funds necessary for the operation, management and maintenance of any
REO related property to the extent not previously reimbursed under clause (viii)
of this Section 3.04; and
(xii) to
withdraw any funds deposited to the Trust Custodial Account in
error.
22
Notwithstanding
the foregoing clauses (vii) and (viii), no Monthly Advances or Servicing
Advances shall be required to be made by the Servicer if such Monthly Advance
or
Servicing Advance would, if made, be, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment,
nonrecoverable. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a
nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance, or that any proposed
Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance would be a nonrecoverable advance, shall
be
evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Master
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.
Section
3.05. Establishment
of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The
Servicer 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 “Option One
Mortgage Corporation in trust for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee
for
Structured Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-BC2 Trust.” The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Deposit Accounts
established with an Eligible Institution in a manner that shall provide maximum
available insurance thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be
drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.06. The creation of any
Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit
C. Not later than 30 days after the Closing Date, a copy of such certification
or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer
and, upon request, to any subsequent owner of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis,
on or
prior to the Second Business Day following receipt thereof, 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 that are to
be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 3.06.
The
Servicer shall retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account
by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required
by
law to be paid to the Mortgagor. Additionally, any other benefit derived from
the Escrow Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation
of
principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. shall
accrue to the benefit of the Servicer. To the extent required by law, the
Servicer 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.
23
Section
3.06. Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer
only:
(i) to
effect
payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, mortgage
insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums
or
other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii) to
refund
to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under
the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iii) as
permitted by applicable state law, for transfer to the Trust 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;
(iv) for
application to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property in accordance with
Section 3.07;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest
paid
on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vi) to
reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances made with respect to Escrow Payments
for a Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Properties;
(vii) to
withdraw any funds deposited into the Escrow Account inadvertently in error;
and
(viii) to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
The
Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Escrow Accounts
and
will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to the Escrow Account in respect
of
its obligations under this Section 3.06, reimbursable from the Escrow Accounts
or Trust Custodial Account to the extent not collected from the related
Mortgagor, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, when and as necessary
to
avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which the
Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the
Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If
any
such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien
with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within ten (10)
Business Days of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary
to
discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.
Section
3.07. Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer 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 Practices. At a minimum, with respect to
claims of $10,000 or more, the Servicer shall comply with the following
conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds:
24
(i) the
Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion
of
repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
(ii) the
Servicer 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
Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not 60 or more days delinquent;
(iv) pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account;
With
respect to claims of less than $10,000, the Servicer shall comply with the
following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds
or Condemnation Proceeds;
(v) related
Mortgagor shall provide an affidavit verifying the completion of repairs and
issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
(vi) Servicer
shall verify the total amount of the claim with the applicable insurance
company; and
(vii) pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account. If the Trustee is named as an
additional loss payee, the Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss
draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Trustee.
Section
3.08. Fidelity
Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a Fidelity Bond
and Errors and Omissions Insurance the minimum coverage of which shall be at
least equal to the coverage required by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide
or
Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides (unless a waiver of such requirement has
been obtained by the Servicer from either Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae). Such
Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance shall be maintained with
recognized insurers, shall be in such form and amount as would permit the
Servicer to be qualified as a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer, and
shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice
to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall be deemed to
have complied with this provision if an affiliate of the Servicer has such
errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to
the Servicer. The Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer a copy of each such bond and insurance policy upon their
request.
25
Section
3.09. Notification
of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the
Mortgage Interest Rate on the related interest rate adjustment date and shall
adjust the Monthly Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date,
if
applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver
any
and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and
Monthly Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request
therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer such notifications and any additional
applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate
and
implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt
of
notice from the Master Servicer that the Servicer has failed to adjust a
Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Trust
Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral
caused thereby.
With
respect to On-time Advantage Program Rate Reduction Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related rate reduction date
in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, and shall adjust the
Monthly Payment for such Mortgage Loan, accordingly.
Section
3.10. Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With
respect to each escrowed Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate
records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates
and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property
and
the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time
to
time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums)
and
shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date
and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing
for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall
have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for
such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable
regulations. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all
such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of the same or the making of the
Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such
payments. With respect to non-escrowed Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ
Accepted Servicing Practices to determine that any such payments are made by
the
Mortgagor at the time they are first to become due and to ensure that the
Mortgaged Property is not subjected to a tax lien as a result of nonpayment
and
that such Mortgaged Property is not left uninsured. The Servicer shall advance
its funds to effect payments on any such delinquent payments to avoid lapse
of
insurance coverage on the Mortgage Property or to avoid the sale or other loss
of the Mortgaged Property to a tax lien. Such advances made by the Servicer
shall be considered Servicing Advances subject to reimbursement pursuant to
Section 3.04 herein.
26
Section
3.11. Protection
of Accounts.
The
Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Institution from time to time; provided
that in
the event the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account is held in a depository
institution or trust company that ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the
Servicer shall transfer such Custodial Account or Escrow Account, as the case
may be, to an Eligible Institution. The Servicer shall give notice to the Master
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer of any change in the location of the Custodial
Account no later than 30 days after any such transfer is made and deliver to
the
Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a certification notice in the form of
Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable, with respect to such Eligible
Institution.
The
Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Trustee
or
the Master Servicer if the Trust Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account
are
not demand deposit accounts.
Amounts
on deposit in the Trust Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the
option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided
that in
the event that amounts on deposit in the Trust Custodial Account or the Escrow
Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”), the
Servicer 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 Trust Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible
Investment shall mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the
related Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the
name
of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. All income on or gain
realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the
Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred
in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Trust Custodial
Account or the Escrow Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately
as realized.
Section
3.12. 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 U.S. Bank National Association (or, if applicable the name of any
successor trustee, or MERS, as applicable), as trustee for Securitized Asset
Securities Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2006-BC2 or
its
nominee, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold
title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located or would
be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so
holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of
such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel
obtained by the Servicer from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in
the
state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such
title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is
being held as nominee for the Trustee.
27
The
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the
Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer,
either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it
manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its
own
account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality
as
the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and
may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except
as
otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interest of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12, in connection with
a
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the
Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Master
Servicer or NIMS Insurer otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or
review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector
shall
be arranged by the Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer
shall provide the Master Servicer and NIMS Insurer with a written report of
such
environmental inspection. In the event that the environmental inspection report
indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In the event that the environmental
inspection report is inconclusive as to the whether or not the Mortgaged
Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the
Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of both the Master Servicer
and
the NIMS Insurer proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure. In such instance, the Master Servicer and/or the NIMS Insurer
shall
be deemed to have approved such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure unless either notifies the Servicer in writing, within three (3)
days after its receipt of written notice of the proposed foreclosure or deed
in
lieu of foreclosure from the Servicer, that it disapproves of the related
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Servicer shall
be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made pursuant to this paragraph with
respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial
Account.
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default
or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such
REO
Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of
its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received
a
grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service (and provided a copy of
the
same to the NIMS Insurer) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and
any
relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable
Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely
affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal
or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension
(and provide a copy of the same to the NIMS Insurer), then the Servicer shall
continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for
such
period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended
Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is
unable to sell REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end
of
such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the
Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell
the
REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three-year period
or
the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price
equal to the REO Property’s fair market value, as acceptable to the NIMS Insurer
or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the
Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to
the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may
be.
The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably
requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.
28
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust
Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used
by
or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any Trust
REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from
such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or
860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund and the NIMS Insurer with respect to the imposition
of
any such taxes.
The
Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property hazard insurance with extended
coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time it becomes
an
REO Property.
Each
REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably determines to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders and provided the sales price and the related
terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation. The proceeds of
sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Trust Custodial
Account. After the expenses of such disposition shall have been paid, the
Servicer shall reimburse itself pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof for any
Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and Monthly Advances it incurred with respect
to such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall withdraw from the Trust 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 the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides
or
the Xxxxxx Mae Guide.
Section
3.13. Real
Estate Owned Reports.
Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall
furnish by electronic transmission to the Master Servicer and the Credit Risk
Manager and, upon request, the NIMS Insurer 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 Servicer’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 either the Master Servicer
or
the Credit Risk Manager or, upon request, the NIMS Insurer shall reasonably
request.
29
Section
3.14. MERS.
(a) The
Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each MERS Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership
of mortgages maintained by MERS.
(b) The
Servicer shall maintain in good standing its membership in MERS. In addition,
the Servicer shall comply with all rules, policies and procedures of MERS,
including the Rules of Membership, as amended, and the MERS Procedures Manual,
as amended.
(c) With
respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Servicer shall
promptly notify MERS as to any transfer of beneficial ownership or release
of
any security interest in such Mortgage Loans.
(d) With
respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Servicer shall notify
MERS as to any transfer of servicing pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 9.01
within 10 Business Days of such transfer of servicing. The Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer to the extent necessary
to
ensure that such transfer of servicing is appropriately reflected on the MERS
system.
Section
3.15. Waiver
of Prepayment Charges.
Except
as
provided below, the Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive
any
Prepayment Charge with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer or its
designee fails to collect a Prepayment Charge or waives a Prepayment Charge
except as provided in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) below of this Section 3.15,
at
the time of the related prepayment of any Mortgage Loan subject to such
Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall pay to the Trust Fund at such time (by
deposit to the Trust Custodial Account) an amount equal to the amount of the
Prepayment Charge not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or
its
designee may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (iii) below) a Prepayment
Charge without paying to the Trust Fund the amount of such Prepayment Charge
only if the related prepayment is not the result of a refinancing by the
Servicer or its designee and such waiver (i) relates to a defaulted Mortgage
Loan or a reasonably foreseeable default, such waiver is standard and customary
in servicing similar mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans, and such waiver,
in
the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would maximize recovery of total
proceeds from the Mortgage Loan, taking into account the amount of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) relates to a prepayment
charge the collection of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
would be a violation of applicable laws or (iii) notwithstanding any state
or
federal law to the contrary, any Prepayment Charge in any instance when a
Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure.
Section
3.16. Servicing
and Administration of PMI Policies.
(a) The
Servicer shall take all such actions on behalf of the Trustee as are necessary
to service, maintain and administer PMI Policies and to perform and enforce
the
rights under such Policies for its own account. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the Trust to do
anything it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection with the
servicing, maintenance and administration of the PMI Policies. The Servicer
shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to modify or assume a Mortgage Loan
covered by a PMI Policy or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage
Loan which would result in non-coverage under any PMI Policy of any loss which,
but for the actions of the Servicer or Subservicer, would have been covered
thereunder. If a PMI Insurer fails to pay a claim under a PMI Policy as a result
of breach by the Servicer or a Sub-servicer of its obligations hereunder or
under a PMI Policy, the Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Trust
Custodial Account on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date an amount
equal to such unpaid claim from its own funds without any right to reimbursement
from the Trust Fund. To the extent coverage is available, the Servicer shall
keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect the Insurance Policies for
as
long as any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall cooperate with
each
PMI Insurer and shall use its best efforts to furnish all reasonable aid,
evidence and information in the possession of the Servicer to which the Servicer
has access with respect to any Mortgage Loan;
provided, however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in a PMI Policy, the Servicer
shall not be required to submit any reports to a PMI Insurer until a reporting
date that is at least 15 days after the Servicer has received sufficient loan
level information from LBH to appropriately code its servicing system in
accordance with such PMI Insurer’s requirements.
30
(b) The
Servicer shall deposit into the Trust Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.03(xiii) hereof all Insurance Proceeds received from the PMI Insurer under
the
terms of a PMI Policy.
(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions of (a) and (b) above, the Servicer shall not take any action
in
regard to any PMI Policy inconsistent with the interests of the Trustee or
the
Certificateholders or with the rights and interests of the Trustee or the
Certificateholders under this Agreement.
(d) The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents (within fifteen (15) days upon request from the Servicer) in form
as
provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and
administer any PMI Policy;
provided, however,
that the
Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer under such powers
of
attorney.
Section
3.17. Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally
acceptable insurer 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
current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an
amount not less than the amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any
co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy.
31
Any
payments by the Servicer for hazard insurance, other than as set forth in the
last paragraph of this Section 3.17, shall be deemed Servicing Advances,
reimbursable in accordance with Section 3.04(ix), to the extent not collected
from the related Mortgagor. The Servicer will comply in the performance of
this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any
such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the
property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in
the
Trust Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04, if
received in respect of a Mortgage Loan. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan
so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property
is
at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance
has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood
insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for
the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program
(assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed
to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.17, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property
a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.17, and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Trust Custodial Account from its own funds without right of
reimbursement the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because
of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator
and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present,
on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any
such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
Section
3.18. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, foreclose upon
or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans (including selling any such Mortgage Loans other than converting
the ownership of the related properties) as come into and continue in default
and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however,
that
such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.04. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an uninsured cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend
its
own funds toward the restoration of such Mortgaged Property unless in its
determination such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the
related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses.
32
(b) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to
unpaid Servicing Fees; second,
to
reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 3.04; third,
to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final
Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on
which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final
Recovery Determination; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage
Loan.
Section
3.19. Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreement.
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or
is
to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto;
provided, however, that
the
Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing
so.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk rating
at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply its own underwriting
standards should such standards follow such Accepted Servicing Practices and
procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The
Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement,
however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have
received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any
applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect
of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement shall
be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including
but
not limited to the related Mortgage Interest Rate and the amount of the Monthly
Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant
to
the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has
been contemplated by forwarding to each of them a copy of such agreement
(identifying the Mortgage File to which it relates). The Servicer shall forward
an original copy of such document to the applicable Custodian to be held by
such
Custodian with the other documents related to such Mortgage Loan.
33
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.19, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Section
3.20. Safeguarding
Customer Information.
The
Servicer has implemented and will maintain security measures designed to meet
the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for
Safeguarding Customer Information published in final form on February 1,
2001, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 and the rules promulgated thereunder, as amended from
time to time (the “Guidelines”).
The
Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee information reasonably available to it regarding such security measures
upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee which information shall include, but not be limited to, any Statement
on
Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 report covering the Servicer’s operations, and
any other audit reports, summaries of test results or equivalent measures taken
by the Servicer with respect to its security measures to the extent reasonably
necessary in order for the Seller to satisfy its obligations under the
Guidelines.

With
respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the Business

such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along
with
the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment
by

(a) Not
later

immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Master
Servicer (a) a monthly remittance advice in the format set forth in Exhibit

provide to the party responsible for filing such report (including, if
applicable, the Master Servicer) notice of the occurrence of any of the
following events along with all information, data, and materials related thereto
as may be required to be included in the related distribution report on Form
10-D (as specified in the provisions of Regulation AB referenced
below):
(i) any
material modifications, extensions or waivers of pool asset terms, fees,
penalties or payments during the distribution period or that have cumulatively
become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB) which information
shall be provided in the monthly remittance report;
35
(ii) material
breaches of pool asset representations or warranties or transaction covenants
made by the Servicer (Item 1121(a)(12) of Regulation AB); and
(iii) information
in the Servicer’s possession regarding, any pool asset changes (such as
substitutions or repurchases) (Item 1121(a)(14) of Regulation AB).
The
format of this monthly reporting may be amended from time to time to the extent
necessary to comply with applicable law.
Such
monthly remittance advice shall also be accompanied with a supplemental report
provided to the Master Servicer and the Seller and, upon request, the NIMS
Insurer, which includes on an aggregate basis for the previous Due Period (i)
the amount of claims filed, (ii) the amount of any claim payments made, (iii)
the amount of claims denied or curtailed and (iv) policies cancelled with
respect to those Mortgage Loans covered by any PMI Policy purchased by the
Seller on behalf of the Trust Fund;
provided, however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in a PMI Policy, the Servicer
shall not be required to submit any supplemental reports including the foregoing
data with respect to a PMI Policy until a reporting date that is at least 15
days after the Servicer has received sufficient loan level information from
the
Seller to appropriately code its servicing system in accordance with the PMI
Insurer’s requirements. In addition, the Servicer shall include in such monthly
remittance advice any change in the Servicing Fee Rate for the related Due
Period with respect to the Stepped Servicing Fee Mortgage Loans.
(b) In
addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, commencing
December 31, 2006, the Servicer shall provide (as such information becomes
reasonably available to the Servicer) to the Master Servicer such information
concerning the Mortgage Loans and annual remittances to the Master Servicer
therefrom as is necessary for each Certificateholder to prepare its federal
income tax return. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have
been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to any requirements
of
the Code as from time to time are in force.
Beginning
with calendar year 2006, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with
such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the
Securities Administrator to prepare the Trust Fund’s federal income tax return
and for any investor in the Certificates to prepare any required tax
return.
(c) The
Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor (i) of any legal
proceedings pending against the Servicer of the type described in Item 1117
(§
229.1117) of Regulation AB and (ii) if the Servicer shall become (but only
to
the extent not previously disclosed to the NIMS Insurer, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate
of any of the parties listed on Exhibit J to this Agreement.
36
If
so
requested by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor on any date following the date on which information was first
provided to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities Administrator and
the
Depositor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall, within five
Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01(k) or, if such a
representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request,
provide reasonable adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing,
to
the requesting party.
For
the
purpose of satisfying the reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with
respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall (or shall
cause each Subservicer to) (i) provide prompt notice to the Master Servicer
and
the Depositor in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental
proceedings involving the Servicer or any Subservicer, (B) any affiliations
or
relationships that develop following the closing date between the Servicer,
any
Subservicer and any of the parties specified on Exhibit
I
hereto,
(C) any Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement, (D) any merger,
consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, and
(E) the Servicer’s entry into an agreement with a Subservicer to perform or
assist in the performance of any of the Servicer’s obligations under this
Agreement and (ii) provide to the Depositor a description of such proceedings,
affiliations or relationships.
As
a
condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer
or
subservicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer
or
such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed
as a successor to the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide
to
the Master Servicer and the Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the
effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the
Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably
requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed
securities.
The
Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, evidence of
the
authorization of the person signing any certification or statement, copies
or
other evidence of Fidelity Bond Insurance and Errors and Omission Insurance
policy, financial information and reports, and such other information related
to
the Servicer or any Subservicer or the Servicer or such Subservicer’s
performance hereunder as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor.
Section
4.03. Monthly
Advances by Servicer.
On
the
Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall
deposit in the Trust Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held
for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to the aggregate of all
Monthly Advances relating to Monthly Payments which were due on the Mortgage
Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were Delinquent at the close
of
business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. Any amounts held
for
future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit
in
the Trust Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds
in
the Trust Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than
remittances to the Master Servicer required to be made on such Remittance Date.
The Servicer shall keep appropriate records of such amounts and will provide
such records to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer upon request. No
provision in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the Servicer’s right
to (i) pass through late collections on the related Mortgage Loans in lieu
of
making Monthly Advances (ii) reimburse itself for such Monthly Advances from
late collections on the related Mortgage Loans or (iii) utilize an
Advancing Person (as defined below).
37
The
Servicer shall make Monthly Advances through the Distribution Date immediately
preceding the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or
recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans; provided,
however,
the
Servicer may cease to make Monthly Advances when it deems such Advance to be
a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
The
Servicer may enter into a facility with any person which provides that such
person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Monthly Advances required under this
Section 4.03 and/or Servicing Advances, although no such facility shall reduce
or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Monthly Advances
and/or Servicing Advances. Any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances made
by an Advancing Person shall be reimbursed to the Advancing Person by the
Servicer in the same manner as reimbursements would be made to the Servicer
under Section 3.04 if such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advance were funded
by
the Servicer; provided
that
neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Trust Fund
shall have any liability or obligation to make any payment to any Advancing
Person, nor shall any of them have any liability for any Monthly Advances and/or
Servicing Advances reimbursed to the Servicer rather than to an Advancing
Person.
Section
4.04. Compensating
Interest.
The
Servicer shall be required to deposit in the Trust Custodial Account, and retain
therein with respect to each Principal Prepayment, the Prepayment Interest
Shortfall Amount, if any, for the related Due Period. Such deposit shall be
made
from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefore, up to an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount or (ii)
the
Compensating Interest Maximum Amount. The Servicer shall not be obligated to
pay
any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to any Relief Act
Reduction or bankruptcy.
Section
4.05. Credit
Reporting.
For
each
Mortgage Loan, in accordance with its current servicing practices, the Servicer
will accurately and fully report its underlying borrower credit files to each
of
the following credit repositories or their successors: Equifax Credit
Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information Solution,
Inc., on a monthly basis in a timely manner. In addition, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan serviced for a Xxxxxx Xxx pool, the Servicer shall transmit full
credit reporting data to each of such credit repositories in accordance with
Xxxxxx Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 (November 20, 1995), a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit H, reporting each of the following statuses, each
month with respect to a Mortgage Loan in a Xxxxxx Xxx pool: New origination,
current, delinquent (30-60-90-days, etc), foreclosed or charged
off.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
5.01. Servicing
Compensation.
As
consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement, the
Servicer shall retain (a) the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan remaining
subject to this Agreement during any month and (b) Ancillary Income. The
Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly.
The
obligation of the Trust Fund to pay the Servicing Fees is limited as provided
in
Section 3.04(a)(ii). The aggregate of the Servicing Fees for any month with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, subject to Section 4.04, shall be reduced by
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to such month. The Servicer
shall be entitled to recover any unpaid Servicing Fees, to the extent not
remitted, out of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted in Section 3.04 and
out
of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent
permitted by Section 3.12.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by
the
Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.04 and Section 3.06
to
withdraw from the Trust Custodial Account and Escrow Account, respectively,
as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.11.
The
Servicer 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
5.02. Report
on Attestation of Compliance with Applicable Servicing
Criteria.

hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out
of
or based upon:
(A) any
failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other
material when and as required under this Agreement, including any report under
Sections 5.02, 5.03 or 5.04 or any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant

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

termination of any party to this Agreement.
45
The

Mortgage Loans), the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer or any other relevant party if a claim is made by a third party with

of such claim and, in the event of an indemnified claim, follow any written
instructions received from such indemnified party in connection with such claim.
Subject to the Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the
failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in material
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be promptly
reimbursed from the Trust Fund for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the
preceding sentence and any attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses arising
out of or in any way relating to the defense by Servicer of its right to such
reimbursement or enforcement against any other party hereto of Servicer’s right
to such reimbursement, other than any costs incurred by reason of the Servicer’s
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder.

In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction

the
Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate, the
NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and
the Trust Fund (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees
and
agents) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided,
however,
that the
Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action
or
inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Holder of
such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting
from
misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which
the
Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict
the
rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate, the Trustee,
the
NIMS Insurer or the Trust Fund, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in
accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is
expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other
than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages
to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on

any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer acknowledges and agrees
that
the purpose of Sections 4.02(c) and (d), 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 6.01(k), 6.03 and

obligations of the Servicer hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner
as
to accomplish that purpose, (b) such obligations may change over time due
to interpretive advice or guidance of the Commission, convention or consensus
among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of

such modifications and enter into such amendments to this Agreement as may
be
necessary, in the judgment of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and their
respective counsel, to comply with any such clarification, interpretive
guidance, convention or consensus and (ii) promptly upon request provide to
the Depositor for inclusion in any periodic report required to be filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such items
of information available to the Servicer regarding this Agreement and matters
related to the Servicer, (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), provided
that such information shall be required to be provided by the Servicer only
to
the extent that such shall be reasonably determined by the Depositor and its
counsel to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB.
46
The
Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, their respective officers and directors
and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator or Master Servicer within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, their respective
officers or directors and any such controlling person may become subject under
the Act or otherwise, as and when such losses, claims, expenses, damages or
liabilities are incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages
or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in
the Servicer Information or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or
alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, their respective
officers and directors and any such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by it or any of them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability
or
action, as and when incurred; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be
liable only insofar as such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission relates solely to the information in the Servicer
Information furnished to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or Master
Servicer by or on behalf of the Servicer specifically in connection with this
Agreement.
47
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of any party to this Agreement.
ARTICLE
VII.
THE
SERVICER
Section
7.01. Merger
or Consolidation of the Servicer.
The
Servicer 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 entity 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 Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer,
shall, with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer, be
the
successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however,
that the
successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a net worth
of
not less than $15,000,000, and (ii) which is acceptable to the Master Servicer
and the NIMS Insurer and is a Xxxxxxx Mac- or Xxxxxx Mae-approved servicer
in
good standing.
Section
7.02. Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither
the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer, the Depositor or the Trustee hereunder 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 Servicer or any such person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
its
obligations in 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. The Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer 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 Servicer 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
Servicer may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer,
undertake any such action which it deems necessary or desirable in respect
of
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event,
the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.
48
Section
7.03. Limitation
on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer.
The
Seller has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer in reliance upon the
independent status of the Servicer, 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 Servicer shall neither assign its rights under this Agreement
or
the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or any portion
thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided
that in
each case, there must be delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that
such
transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of
the
Certificates or of the NIM Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the
Seller,
the Master Servicer and
the NIMS
Insurer,
may retain third-party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan
administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance
administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and
administration, collection services and similar functions;
provided, however,
that the retention of such contractors by Servicer shall not limit the
obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except by mutual consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer
or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be
in
form and substance acceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor acceptable to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer shall have
assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner
provided in Section 9.01.
Without
in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that
the
Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities
hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without
the prior written consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer, then such parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon
notice given as set forth in Section 8.01, without any payment of any penalty
or
damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third
party.

Section
7.04. Subservicing
Agreements and Successor Subservicer.
(a) The
Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer
to
fulfill any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement
unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this
Section 7.04 and the proposed Subservicer (i) is an institution which is an
approved Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer as indicated in writing,
(ii)
represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state
as
necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing
agreement and (iii) is acceptable to the NIMS Insurer. The Servicer shall not
hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not
permit any Subservicer to hire or otherwise utilize the services of any
Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer
under this Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of
paragraph (c) of this Section 7.04.
(b) The
Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer of the
appointment of any Subservicer and shall furnish to the Trustee, Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer
a
copy of any related subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
the
Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately
upon receipt by any Subservicer of such payments. Any such subservicing
agreement shall be acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and be consistent with and
not
violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall
provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such
agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated
or resigns. The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or
by
any Subservicer) to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.04 and with
Sections 4.02(c), 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 6.01(k) and 6.03 and Exhibit I of this
Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. The
Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required
to be
delivered by such Subservicer under Section 5.03, any reports on assessment
of
compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under
Sections 5.02 and 5.04 and any certification required to be delivered under
5.03
to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification
under Section 5.04 as and when required to be delivered hereunder.
(c) The
Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor and
a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer
and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized
by
the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (A) the identity of each such
Subcontractor, (B) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are Participating
Entities, and (C) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth under
Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB will be addressed in assessments of compliance
provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (B) of this
paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
to
comply with the provisions of Sections 4.02(c), 5.02, 5.04, 6.01(k) and 6.03
and
Exhibit I of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were
the
Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Subcontractor and delivering to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of
compliance and attestation and other certification required to be delivered
by
such Subcontractor under Sections 5.02 and 5.04, in each case as and when
required to be delivered.
50
The
Servicer acknowledges that a Subservicer or Subcontractor that performs services
with respect to mortgage loans involved in this transaction in addition to
the
Mortgage Loans may be determined by the Depositor to be “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB on the
basis of the aggregate balance of such mortgage loans, without regard to whether
such Subservicer or Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB with respect to the
Mortgage Loans viewed in isolation. In connection with complying with the
requirements set forth in the previous sentence, the Servicer shall (A) respond
as promptly as practicable to any good faith request by the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor for information regarding each Subservicer and each
Subcontractor and (B) cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor with respect
to which the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor requests delivery
of
an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation to deliver such within
the time required under Section 5.04.
(d) Notwithstanding
any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer, Subcontractor
or other third party or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer, a
Subcontractor, another third party or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders
for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the
provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue
of any subservicing, subcontracting or other agreements or arrangements or
by
virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party
and
to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer
alone were servicing the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to compliance
with Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into
any agreement with a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, Subcontractor or third
party and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification.
Section
7.05. Inspection.
Upon
reasonable advance notice (which advance notice shall be no less than two (2)
full Business Days advance notice), the Servicer shall accommodate the Master
Servicer’s and the NIMS Insurer’s access during normal business hours to all
records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such
obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer
and
the NIMS Insurer its most recent publicly available financial statements and
such other information relating to its capacity to perform its obligations
under
this Agreement.

Agreement shall be terminable at the option of the Master Servicer or the NIMS

(iii) except
with respect to those items listed in clause (ii) above, any failure by the

Exchange Act report; or
(iv) failure
by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other

mortgage loans in any jurisdiction, if required by such jurisdiction, where

Mortgaged Property is located; or
(vi) a

for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall
have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;
or
(vii) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(viii) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
its
creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its normal
business operations for three Business Days; or
52
(ix) the
Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac
seller/servicer; or
(x) the
Servicer attempts to assign the servicing of the Mortgage Loans or its right
to
servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign
this
Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties
hereunder or any portion thereof, in each case without complying fully with
the
provisions of Section 7.03; or
(xi) if
(x)
any of the Rating Agencies reduces or withdraws the rating of any of the
Certificates due to a reason directly attributable to the Servicer or (y) the
Servicer’s residential primary servicer rating for servicing of subprime loans
issued by any of the Rating Agencies is reduced by more than one level from
the
level in effect on the Closing Date.
In
each
and every such case, so long as an event of default shall not have been remedied
within the applicable cure period, in addition to whatever rights the Seller,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee may have at law or equity to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Master Servicer,
by
notice in writing to the Servicer may terminate all the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the servicing contract
established hereby and the proceeds thereof.
Upon
receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in a successor servicer appointed by
the
Master Servicer with the consent of the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not
be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon written request from the Master
Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor
servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer any and all documents and other
instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing 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 Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the
Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and such successor in effecting the
termination of the Servicer’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 Servicer to the
Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans.
By
a
written notice, the Master Servicer may waive any default by the Servicer 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.
53
Section
8.02. Termination
Without Cause.
(a) This
Agreement shall terminate upon: (i) the later of (a) the distribution of the
final payment or liquidation proceeds on the last Mortgage Loan to the Master
Servicer or Trust Fund, and (b) the disposition of all REO Property acquired
upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds
due
hereunder or (ii) mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer in
writing, provided such termination is also acceptable to the Rating Agencies
and
the NIMS Insurer or (iii) with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans,
at
the sole option of the Seller, without cause, upon 30 days’ written notice to
the Servicer, subject to payment by the Seller of the Termination Fee as set
forth in Exhibit E hereto or other fees as mutually agreed upon by the parties
and to the other limitations set forth below. Any such notice of termination
shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee by registered mail to the address set forth in Section
9.03. In connection with any termination pursuant to clause (i) of the first
sentence of Section 8.02(a), all unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances
and Monthly Advances still owing the Servicer shall be deducted by the Servicer
from the final remittance of the funds to the successor servicer. In connection
with any termination pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence
of
this Section 8.02(a), all unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances,
Monthly Advances and applicable Termination Fees still owing the Servicer shall
be paid at the time of such termination by the Trust Fund by deducting from
final remittance of the funds to successor servicer (on first three items)
and
by the Seller (on Termination Fee).
Upon
a
termination of the Servicer for cause pursuant to Section 8.01, all unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances still owing the Servicer
shall be paid by the Trust Fund as such amounts are received from the related
Mortgage Loans.
In
the
event that Seller terminates the Servicer without cause with respect to some
or
all of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 8.02(a)(iii), the Seller
shall be required to pay to the Servicer a Termination Fee in the amount set
forth at Exhibit E hereto as of the date of such termination; provided, that
no
Termination Fee shall be paid or payable with respect to the unpaid principal
balance of any terminated Distressed Mortgage Loan.
(b)
In the
event the Servicer decides to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
as
set forth in clause (ii) of Section 8.02(a), the Servicer agrees that it will
continue to service the Mortgage Loans beyond the prescribed termination date
until such time as the Master Servicer, using reasonable commercial efforts,
is
able to appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer
and otherwise meeting the characteristics of Sections 7.01 and
9.01.
Section
8.03. Termination
for Distressed Mortgage Loans.
(a)
Subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 8.03, the Seller may
terminate this Agreement with the prior consent of the Master Servicer and
the
NIMS Insurer, with respect to the servicing of those Mortgage Loans that are
determined to be Distressed Mortgage Loans as of the Notice Date and servicing
of such Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to the Special Servicer. The
appointment of a Special Servicer by the Seller and the execution of a special
servicing agreement between the Seller and the Special Servicer shall be subject
to the consent of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and the receipt
of
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the transfer of servicing to the
Special Servicer shall not result in a reduction of any rating previously given
by such Rating Agency to any Certificate or the NIM Securities. Any monthly
fee
paid to the Special Servicer in connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced
by
such Special Servicer shall not exceed one-twelfth of the product of
(a) 0.50% and (b) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan.
All unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances owing
to the Servicer relating to such Distressed Mortgage Loans shall be reimbursed
and paid to the Servicer upon such transfer to the Special
Servicer.
54
(b) All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with a transfer of
servicing to the Special Servicer including, without limitation, the costs
and
expenses of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any other Person in appointing
a
Special Servicer, or of the Servicer in transferring the Servicing Files and
the
other necessary data to the Special Servicer, shall be paid by the Seller from
its own funds without reimbursement to the related Party within fifteen (15)
Business Days upon receipt of an invoice from such party. The Seller shall
be
responsible for the delivery of all required Transfer Notices and will send
a
copy of the Transfer Notice to the Master Servicer.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03, the NIMS Insurer may, at its
option, withhold its consent to the transfer of a Distressed Mortgage Loan
to a
Special Servicer and elect to purchase such Distressed Mortgage Loan at a price
equal to its Purchase Price. Prior to such purchase, the Servicer shall be
required to continue to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Distressed
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 4.03; provided,
however,
the
Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall cease when it deems
such Monthly Advances to be nonrecoverable. Any such purchase of a Distressed
Mortgage Loan shall be accomplished by remittance to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account established pursuant to
Section 4.01 of the Trust Agreement of the amount of the Purchase Price. The
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance
of
such Distressed Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary,
including the prompt delivery of all Servicing Files and other related
documentation to the NIMS Insurer.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
9.01. Successor
to the Servicer.
Simultaneously
with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement (a) pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02(a)(ii), the Master
Servicer shall (i) within 90 days of the Servicer’s receipt of notice of such
termination, succeed to and
55
assume
all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under
this Agreement (except that the Master Servicer shall immediately assume all
of
the obligations of the Servicer to make Monthly Advances), or (ii) appoint
a
successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement
simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties
and liabilities under this Agreement; or (b) as a result of termination of
the
Servicer without cause by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Seller
shall appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i)
and (ii) of Section 7.01 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all
of
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor
to
the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer and the
NIMS Insurer and, to the extent required by the Trust Agreement, shall be a
member in good standing of the MERS system (if any of the Mortgage Loans are
MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans, unless such Mortgage Loans are withdrawn from
MERS
and Assignments of Mortgage are recorded in favor of the Trustee at the expense
of the successor servicer). The final approval of a successor servicer shall
be
conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS
Insurer and the Seller of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that
such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or
downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates or the NIM
Securities. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master
Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such
successor shall agree, provided,
however, that
no
such compensation shall be in excess of the General Servicing Fee permitted
under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities
and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence
and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall
take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial
condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant
to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor
servicer shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01, or until the Master
Servicer succeeds to and assumes all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights,
duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 9.01, and shall in no event
relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 6.01 and the remedies available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the
NIMS Insurer and the Seller under Section 6.02 and 6.03, it being understood
and
agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 shall be
applicable not only to such successor servicer but also to the Servicer
notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall not be responsible for
the lack of information and/or documents that are not transferred to it by
the
Servicer and that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.
Within
a
reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days after the
appointment of a successor entity and after due notification to the Servicer,
the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any
and
all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all
Servicing 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 of the Mortgage Notes and related documents,
and
the Assignments of Mortgage. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Master
Servicer or the Seller, and such successor in effecting the termination of
the
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing
responsibilities to the successor servicer, 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 Servicer to the Trust Custodial Account
or
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
All
costs and fees incurred by the Servicer arising from the aforementioned process
in connection with any termination pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(ii) or (iii)
shall be reimbursed by the Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days following
receipt of an invoice from the Servicer.
56
Any
successor servicer appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge
and
deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer
and
the Seller an instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the
successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section
6.01 (including a representation that the successor servicer is a member of
MERS, unless none of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans or MERS Eligible
Mortgage Loans or any such Mortgage Loans have been withdrawn from MERS and
Assignments of Mortgage are recorded in favor of the Trustee) and provide for
the same remedies set forth in Section 6.02 and Section 6.03 herein (ii) an
assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under this Agreement,
whereupon such successor servicer shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer,
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any
termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02 shall not affect any claims that
the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee
may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure
to act prior to any such termination or resignation. In addition, in the event
any successor servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Agreement,
such successor servicer must satisfy the conditions relating to the transfer
of
servicing set forth in the Trust Agreement.
The
Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the
Trust
Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Loan documents and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer 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 Servicer.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor
of
such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
9.03.
Section
9.02. Costs.
The
Seller shall pay any legal fees and expenses of its attorneys. Costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the servicing
responsibilities pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iii) of this Agreement, including
fees for delivering Servicing Files, shall be paid by the Seller within five
(5)
Business Days upon receipt of an invoice from the Servicer. Subject to Sections
2.02 and 3.01(a), the Seller shall pay the costs associated with the
preparation, delivery and recording of Assignments of Mortgages if performed
by
the Servicer.

delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be obligated

Section
9.04. Severability
Clause.
Any
part,
provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited
or
which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent
of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction,
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in
any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of
any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive
any
party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the
parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic
effect of which is as close as possible to the economic effect of this Agreement
without regard to such invalidity.
59
Section
9.05. No
Personal Solicitation.
From
and
after the related Closing Date, the Servicer hereby agrees that it will not
take
any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or
affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage brokerage
companies on the Servicer’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit
the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing such
Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may not solicit any Mortgagor for
whom the Servicer has received a request for verification of mortgage status,
a
request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or verbal
communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, or if
the
Mortgagor initiates a title search, and shall refer such Mortgagor to the Seller
or its agent as provided to the Servicer; provided
however, if
upon
such referral of the Servicer to the Seller or its agent, the Mortgagor decides
to reference such Mortgage Loan with the Servicers, the Sellers shall not hinder
the Mortgagor’s right to choose its refinancing agent, and may solicit such
Mortgagor for refinancing; provided
further,
it is
understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of
its
Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional
projects or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including without
limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio, telephone and television advertisements shall not constitute
solicitation under this Section 9.05 nor is the Servicer prohibited from
responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent
of a Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer will not be prohibited
from soliciting the borrowers for purposes of refinancing with respect
to fixed rate Mortgage Loans beginning on the date that is 60 days
prior to the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable prepayment charge
term and (ii) 24th
months
following the origination date of such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer will not
be
prohibited from soliciting borrowers for purposes of refinancing with respect
to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans beginning on the date which is 60 days
prior to the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable prepayment charge
term and (ii) the expiration of any applicable fixed rate period.
Section
9.06. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
Section
9.07. Place
of Delivery and Governing Law.
This
Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof
is
received by the Seller in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have
been
made in the State of New York. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO
ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL
BE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
60
Section
9.08. Further
Agreements.
The
Seller and the Servicer each agree to execute and deliver to the other such
reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements
as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.
Section
9.09. Intention
of the Parties.
It
is the
intention of the parties that the Seller is conveying, and the Servicer is
receiving, only a contract for servicing the Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, the
parties hereby acknowledge that the Trust Fund remains the sole and absolute
owner of the Mortgage Loans and all rights (other than the servicing rights,
which are solely owned by the Servicer) related thereto.
Section
9.10. Successors
and Assigns; Assignment of Servicing Agreement.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer
and
their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned,
pledged or hypothecated by the Servicer to a third party except in accordance
with Section 7.03 and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Seller without the consent of the NIMS Insurer except as and to the extent
provided in Section 9.11.
Section
9.11. Assignment
by the Seller.
The
Seller shall have the right, upon notice to but without the consent of the
Servicer, to assign, in whole or in part (but exclusive of the Servicer’s rights
and obligations as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage
Loans), its interest under this Agreement to the Depositor, which in turn shall
assign such rights to the Trustee, and the Trustee then shall succeed to all
rights of the Seller under this Agreement. All references to the Seller in
this
Agreement shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee and any subsequent
assignee or designee, specifically including the Trustee.
Section
9.12. Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Seller,
by
written agreement signed by the Master Servicer, the Seller and the Servicer;
provided
that the
party requesting such amendment shall, at its own expense, provide the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Seller with an Opinion of Counsel
that such amendment is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer
has complied with all applicable requirements of this Agreement, and such
amendment will not materially adversely affect the interest of the
Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans or the NIM Securities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.12, this Agreement may be amended
by
the Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee from time to
time
without the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel described above to the extent
necessary, in the judgment of the Seller and its counsel, to comply with any
Commission requirements.
61
Any
such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect
any of the interest of the Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loans or the
NIM
Securities if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce, qualify or
withdraw the then current rating assigned to the Certificates and the NIM
Securities (and any Opinion of Counsel received by the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the
Seller in
connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation
as
the basis therefor).
Section
9.13. Waivers.
No
term
or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver
or
modification is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver or
modification is sought to be enforced and, except as provided in Section 8.01,
is consented to by the NIMS Insurer.
Section
9.14. Exhibits.
The
exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and
are an integral part of this Agreement.
Section
9.15. Intended
Third Party Beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement agree that
it is appropriate, in furtherance of the intent of such parties as set forth
herein, that the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the
NIMS Insurer receive the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as intended
third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent of such provisions.
The Servicer shall have the same obligations to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer as if they were parties to
this Agreement, and the Trustee (acting through the Master Servicer), the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer shall have the
same
rights and remedies to enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if they
were
parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall only take direction from the
Master Servicer (if direction by the Master Servicer is required under this
Agreement) unless otherwise directed by this Agreement or the Credit Risk
Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and the Depositor hereunder (other than the right
to indemnification) and all rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and
the Servicer hereunder (other than the right to indemnification) shall terminate
upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement and
all
rights of the NIMS Insurer set forth in this Agreement (other than the right
of
indemnification) shall exist only so long as the NIM Securities remain
outstanding or the NIMS Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its guarantee
of
payment on such NIM Securities.
62
Section
9.16. Confidentiality.
(a) Definition.
For the
purpose of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any
information (including but not limited to , financial and business information
relating to the Servicer’s business or affairs, including but not limited to,
products and services, and those in development, and accompanying marketing
plans and business strategies, now known or in possession of, or hereafter
learned or acquired, by the Servicer (the “Disclosing Party”), or any third
party’s information in the Servicer’s possession which is subject to an
obligation on the part of the Servicer to maintain the confidentiality of such
information, including without limitation, “non-public personal information” (as
defined in the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “GLB Act”) and in its enabling
regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission) of customers and customers
of the Servicer.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include
information that: (i) is or has become publicly known other than as a result
of
disclosure by the Seller or the Master Servicer (each a “Receiving Party”) in
violation of this Agreement; (ii) is received by or available to a Receiving
Party properly and lawfully from a third party without restriction on disclosure
and without knowledge or reasonable suspicion that the third party’s disclosure
is in breach of any obligations to Servicer or anyone else; (iii) has been
developed by the Receiving Party completely independent and without the use
of
any Confidential Information; (iv) has been approved for public release by
prior
written authorization from the Servicer; or (v) is required to be disclosed
by a
governmental authority or related governmental agency or is otherwise required
to be disclosed by law. For purposes of clause (iv) above, Servicer hereby
authorizes without the requirement of the Receiving Parties obtaining from
the
Servicer any separate or additional prior written authorization, the disclosure
of any information relative to the Servicer or the Mortgage Loans by a Receiving
Party or its Representatives (as defined below) which is reasonably required
to
be disclosed, in the normal course of secondary market transactions, to
successor purchasers of the Mortgage Loans from the Receiving Parties, to rating
agencies, mortgage insurance companies and related financial guaranty insurer
of
any related mortgage pass-through securities.
Each
Receiving Party agrees that:
1. It
shall
abide by and respect the Disclosing Party’s rights of any nature (including
without limitation obligations imposed upon the Disclosing Party to protect
the
rights of third parties) in the Confidential Information (including but not
limited to, patents, copyrights and trade secrets) and shall maintain and
preserve the confidentiality of such information, including but without
limitation, taking such steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of
the
Confidential Information as it takes to preserve and protect the confidentiality
of its own proprietary and confidential information.
2.Except
as
expressly permitted by this Section 9.16, neither Receiving Party nor its
subsidiaries, affiliates, and non-affiliated third party vendors and other
agents of Receiving Party, as well as any directors, members, officers, and
employees of any such entities (collectively, “Representatives”) shall (i) use
the Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, for any purpose
other than as contemplated herein or (ii) disclose such Confidential Information
to any third party, except to its subcontractors and consultants who have agreed
in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information
and
use the Confidential Information only to the extent required to perform their
duties in any manner, in whole or in part, without the express written consent
of the Servicer. Moreover, a Receiving Party shall not, except as otherwise
required by law, issue any reports, statements or releases pertaining to its
access to the Confidential Information, or disclose to any third party that
such
information is transmitted or accessible to a Receiving Party from the
Disclosing Party, without the Servicer’s prior written consent.
63
3. It
shall,
upon termination of the business relationship between the parties or at any
time
upon Servicer’s prior written request, immediately return to Servicer or
destroy, as Servicer may direct, all tangible material within its possession,
custody or control containing or reflecting any portion of the Confidential
Information, and shall make no further use or disclosure of the Confidential
Information for any purpose; and upon Servicer’s request, Receiving Party shall
promptly certify that such action has been taken.
4. Each
Receiving Party shall establish commercially reasonable controls to ensure
the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to ensure that the
Confidential Information is not disclosed contrary to the provisions of this
Agreement, the GLB Act, the regulations provided thereunder, or any other
applicable privacy laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, a
Receiving Party shall implement such physical and other security measures as
are
necessary to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Confidential
Information, (ii) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of the
Confidential Information.
5. The
Servicer shall have the right, during regular office hours and upon reasonable
notice, to audit a Receiving Party to ensure compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, the GLB Act and other privacy laws and regulations.
Upon
receipt of any governmental, judicial or administrative order, subpoena, or
discovery request seeking the disclosure of Confidential Information, a
Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Servicer in writing of the
Confidential Information sought so that the Servicer may seek an appropriate
protective order, or take other appropriate measures or, at its discretion,
waive Receiving Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. A
Receiving Party shall cooperate reasonably with the Servicer in contesting
such
request/demand (at the Servicer’s expense), including consulting as to the
advisability of legally attempting to contest or list such request/demand.
If in
the absence of a protective order or a waiver hereunder from the Servicer,
a
Receiving Party is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any
tribunal or suffer penalty, such Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential
Information to such tribunal without liability hereunder; provided,
however, a
Receiving Party: (i) shall give the Servicer written notice of the Confidential
Information to be so disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is
practicable; (ii) shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential
Information which it is legally required to; and (iii) shall use best efforts
to
obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will
be
accorded to such portions of the Confidential Information to be disclosed as
the
Disclosing Party designates.
64
(c) Except
as
otherwise specifically provided for herein, each party hereto agrees that this
Section 9.16 shall remain in force and effect in perpetuity with regard to
any
information as defined by the GLB Act and other privacy related laws, rules
and
regulations.
Section
9.17. General
Interpretive Principles.
For
purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless
the
context otherwise requires:
(a) the
terms
defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement
and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein

Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this
Agreement;
(d) a
reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference
to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference
appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other
subdivisions;
(e) the
words
“herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; and
(f) the
term
“include” or “including” shall mean by reason of enumeration.
Section
9.18. Reproduction
of Documents.
This
Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation,
(a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed,
(b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c) financial
statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter
furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm,
micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree
that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original
itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original
is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in
the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in
evidence.
65
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Seller have caused

“Full-File”
Reporting to Credit Repositories
|
Part
IV,
Section 107, of the servicing Guide currently requires servicers to report
only
90-day delinquencies to the four major credit repositories. To ensure
that the
repositories have up-to-date information for both servicing and origination
activity, we have decided to begin requiring -- as of the month ending
March 31,
1996 -- servicers to provide the credit repositories a “full-file” status report
for the mortgages they service for us.
“Full-file”
reporting requires that servicers submit a monthly report to each of
the credit
repositories to describe the exact status for each mortgage they service
for us.
The status reported generally should be the one in effect as of the last
business day of each month. Servicers may, however, use a slightly later
cut-off
date -- for example, at the and of the first week of a month -- to assure• that
payment corrections, returned checks, and other adjustments related to
the
previous month’s activity can be appropriately reflected in their report for
that month. Statuses that must be reported for any given mortgage include
the
following: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, and charged-off. (The credit repositories will provide the
applicable codes for reporting these statuses to them.) A listing of
each of the
major repositories to which “full-file” status reports must be sent is
attached.
Servicers
are responsible for the complete and accurate reporting of mortgage status
information to the repositories and for resolving any disputes that arise
about
the information they report. Servicers must respond promptly to any inquiries
from borrowers regarding specific mortgage status information about them
that
was reported to the credit repositories.
Servicers
should contact their Customer Account Team in their lead Xxxxxx Xxx regional
office if they have any questions about this expanded reporting
requirement.
