Section 2.01

Sale and Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

The Sellers agree to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time to time, those certain Mortgage Loans identified in a Mortgage Loan Schedule, at the price and on the terms set forth herein and in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter. Purchaser, on any Funding Date, shall be obligated to purchase only such Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.

Purchaser will purchase Mortgage Loan(s) from the Sellers, on such Funding Dates as may be agreed upon by Purchaser and the Sellers. The closing shall, at Purchaser’s option be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person at such place, as the parties shall agree. On the Funding Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Seller will sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser will purchase, all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans being conveyed by it hereunder, as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Examination of the Mortgage Files may be made by Purchaser or its designee as follows. No later than 5 Business Days prior to the Funding Date, the applicable Seller will deliver to Purchaser or its custodian, the Mortgage Loan Schedule and Legal Documents required pursuant to Schedule B-1. Upon Purchaser’s request, the applicable Seller shall make the Credit Documents available in either original paper form or electronic imaged format to Purchaser for review, at such Seller’s place of business and during reasonable business hours. If Purchaser makes such examination prior to the Funding Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the PHH Guide, such Mortgage Loans will be deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule at Purchaser’s discretion. Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Sellers, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Loan files shall not affect Purchaser’s rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein.

On the Funding Date and in accordance with the terms herein, Purchaser will pay to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, together with interest, if any, accrued from the Cut-off Date through the day immediately preceding the Funding Date, according to the instructions to be provided, respectively, by PHH and the Trust. The applicable Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver to Purchaser a Warranty Xxxx of Sale with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.

Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled principal due after the Cut-off Date, all other recoveries of principal collected after the Cut-off Date and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the first Remittance Date after the Funding Date the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the interest accrued from the Cut-off Date through the day immediately preceding the Funding Date. The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of Purchaser. The Sellers shall hold any such prepaid amounts for the benefit of Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Sellers to Purchaser. All scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected by Seller after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Sellers.

Section 2.02

Possession of Mortgage Files.

Upon the sale of any Mortgage Loan, the ownership of such Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, payments, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, shall then be vested in the Purchaser, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to such Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and, to the extent retained by the Seller, shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Seller at the will of the Purchaser in a custodial capacity only. The contents of such Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof and the Sellers’ possession of the contents of each Mortgage File so retained is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Seller is in a custodial capacity only. Mortgage Files shall be maintained separately from the other books and records of the Seller. Each Seller shall release from its custody of the contents of any Mortgage File only in accordance with written instructions from the Purchaser, except where such release is required as incidental to the Servicer ‘s servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase or substitution of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.04.

Any documents released to a Seller or the Servicer in connection with the foreclosure or servicing of any Mortgage Loan shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.02. Such Person shall return to the Purchaser such documents when such Person’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists (unless sooner requested by the Purchaser); provided that, if such Mortgage Loan is liquidated, then, upon the delivery by a Seller or the Servicer to the Purchaser of a request for the release of such documents and a certificate certifying as to such liquidation, the Purchaser shall promptly release and, to the extent necessary, deliver to such Person such documents.

Section 2.03

Books and Records.

The sale of each of its Mortgage Loans shall be reflected on the applicable Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the applicable Seller. Each Seller shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans it conveyed to the Purchaser which shall be clearly marked to reflect the sale of each Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser and the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser.

Section 2.04

Defective Documents; Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

If, subsequent to the related Funding Date, the Purchaser or either Seller finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective or missing in any material respect (in this Section 2.04, a “Defect”), the party discovering such Defect shall promptly so notify the other parties. If the Defect pertains to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, then the applicable Seller shall have a period of 45 days within which to correct or cure any such defect after the earlier of such Seller’s discovery of same or such Seller being notified of same. If such Defect can ultimately be cured but is not reasonably expected to be cured within such 45 day period, such Seller shall have such additional time as is reasonably determined by the Purchaser to cure or correct such Defect provided that such Seller has commenced curing or correcting such Defect and is diligently pursuing same. If the Defect pertains to any other document constituting a part of a Mortgage File, then such Seller shall have a period of 90 days within which to correct or cure any such Defect after the earlier of such Seller’s discovery of same or such Seller being notified of same. If such Defect can ultimately be cured but is not reasonably expected to be cured within the 90 day period, then such Seller shall have such additional time as is reasonably determined by the Purchaser to cure or correct such Defect provided such Seller has commenced curing or correcting such Defect and is diligently pursuing same. PHH hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material Defect cannot be corrected or cured, the related Mortgage Loan shall automatically constitute, upon the expiration of the applicable cure period described above and without any further action by any other party, a Defective Mortgage Loan, whereupon PHH shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan by paying to the Purchaser the Repurchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 3.04.

The applicable Seller will, with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased by the Purchaser, deliver and release to the Purchaser the Legal Documents as set forth in Section 2.01. If the applicable Seller cannot deliver an original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, original assumption, modification and substitution agreements with evidence of recording thereon or an original intervening assignment with evidence of recording thereon within the applicable time periods, then such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser such original Mortgages and original intervening assignments with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording official, except in cases where the original Mortgage or original intervening assignments are retained permanently by the recording office, in which case, such Seller shall deliver a copy of such Mortgage or intervening assignment, as the case may be, certified to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof. If the applicable Seller cannot deliver the original security instrument or if an original intervening assignment has been lost, then the applicable Seller will deliver a copy of such security instrument or intervening assignment, certified by the local public recording official. If the original title policy has been lost, the applicable Seller will deliver a duplicate original title policy.

If the original Mortgage was not delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then the applicable Seller shall use its best efforts to promptly secure the delivery of such originals and shall cause such originals to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the original Mortgage, original assumption, modification, and substitution agreements, the original of any intervening assignment or the original policy of title insurance is not so delivered to the Purchaser within 180 days following the Funding Date, then, upon written notice by the Purchaser to PHH, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, then elect (by providing written notice to PHH) to treat such Mortgage Loan as a Defective Mortgage Loan, whereupon PHH shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan by paying to the Purchaser the Repurchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 3.04. It is understood that from time to time certain local recorder offices become backlogged with document volume. It is agreed that the Seller will provide an Officer’s Certificate to document that the Seller has performed all necessary tasks to insure delivery of the required documentation within 180 days and the delay beyond 180 is caused by the backlog. If the delay exceeds 360 days, regardless of the backlog the Purchaser may elect to collect the documents with its own resources with the reasonable cost and expense to be borne by the Seller. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect its right to demand repurchase or any other remedies provided in this Agreement.

At the Purchaser’s request, the Assignments shall be promptly recorded in the name of the Purchaser or in the name of a Person designated by the Purchaser in all appropriate public offices for real property records. If any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, then the applicable Seller shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment to cure such defect and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. All recording fees related to such a one-time recordation of the Assignments to or by a Seller shall be paid by the applicable Seller.

If the Seller chooses to use facsimile signatures to endorse Mortgage Notes, the Seller must provide in an officers certificate that the endorsement is valid and enforceable in the jurisdiction(s) in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and must retain in its corporate records, and deliver copies to the Purchaser of the following specific documentation authorizing the use of facsimile signatures: (i) a resolution from its board of directors authorizing specific officers to use facsimile signatures; stating that facsimile signatures will be a valid and binding act on the Seller’s part; and authorizing the Seller’s corporate secretary to certify the validity of the resolution, the names of the officers authorized to execute documents by using facsimile signatures, and the authenticity of specimen forms of facsimile signatures; (ii) the corporate secretary's certification of the authenticity and validity of the board of directors' resolution; and (iii) a notarized "certification of facsimile signature" which includes both the facsimile and the original signatures of the signing officers(s) and each others certification that the facsimile and the original signatures of the signing officer(s) and each officer's certification that the facsimile is a true and correct copy of his or her original signature.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.05, the Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of the Sellers, at any time and from time to time, to assign any of the Mortgage Loans and all or any part of its interest under this Agreement and designate any person to exercise any rights of the Purchaser hereunder, and the assignees or designees shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer and the Purchaser acknowledge that the Servicer shall continue to remit payments to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date after the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer was notified in writing of the new record owner of the Mortgage Loans prior to the immediately preceding Record Date, in which case, the Servicer shall remit to the new record owner (or trustee or master servicer, as the case may be) of the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer and Purchaser agree that in no event will the Servicer be required to remit funds, send remittance reports or make such reports available via the Servicer’s website to more than five (5) Persons (not including the Servicer or any Affiliate or transferee thereof) at any given time with respect to any Mortgage Loans sold on a particular Funding Date.

Any prospective assignees of the Purchaser who have entered into a commitment to purchase any of the Mortgage Loans may review and underwrite the Servicer’s servicing and origination operations, upon reasonable prior notice to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with such review and underwriting to the extent such prospective assignees request information or documents that are reasonably available and can be produced without unreasonable expense or effort. The Servicer shall make the Mortgage Files related to the Mortgage Loans held by the Servicer available at the Servicer’s principal operations center for review by any such prospective assignees during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Servicer (in no event less than 5 Business Days prior notice). The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, require that such prospective assignees sign a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information disclosed to the prospective assignee which is not available to the public at large and a release agreement with respect to its activities on the Servicer’s premises.

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer, in whole or in part, any or all of the Mortgage Loans; provided that no such sale and transfer shall be binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.05 attached hereto, and an executed copy of such Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement shall have been delivered to the Servicer. The Servicer shall evidence its acknowledgment of any transfers of the Mortgage Loans to any assignees of the Purchaser by executing such Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement. The Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by any such assignees, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder accruing after the date of transfer to the extent such obligations relate to Mortgage Loans sold by the Purchaser.

Upon discovery by either of the Sellers or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 that materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser (or that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan, in the case of a representation or warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Unless permitted a greater period of time to cure as set forth in Section 2.04, the applicable Seller shall have a period of 60 days from the earlier of either discovery by or receipt of written notice from the Purchaser to the Seller of any breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 that materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser (or that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan, in the case of a representation or warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan) (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”; provided that “Defective Mortgage Loan” shall also include (a) any Mortgage Loan treated or designated as such in accordance with Section 2.04 and (b) any Mortgage Loan regarding which the Mortgagor fails to make the first regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest) within which to correct or cure such breach.

Each Seller hereby covenants and agrees with respect to each Mortgage Loan conveyed by it that, if any breach relating thereto cannot be corrected or cured within the applicable cure period or such additional time, if any, as is reasonably determined by the Purchaser, then such Seller shall, at the direction of the Purchaser, repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan at the applicable Repurchase Price.

ARTICLE V

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 5.01

PHH to Act as Servicer; Servicing Standards; Additional Documents; Consent of the Purchaser.

(1) The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Property from and after each Funding Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, applicable law and the terms and provisions of this Agreement for and on behalf of, and in the best interests of, the Purchaser (without taking into account any relationship the Servicer may have with any Mortgagor or other Person, the participation, if any, of the Servicer in any financing provided in connection with the sale of any Mortgaged Property, or the Servicer’s obligation to advance any expenses or incur any costs in the performance of its duties hereunder) in accordance with a standard that is not less than the higher of (a) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which it services similar assets held for its own or its Affiliates’ account and (b) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which it services similar assets for third party institutional investors, in each case giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional mortgage loan servicers utilized with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the foregoing standards, in connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer of the collectibility of payments on the Mortgage Loans or shall be construed as impairing or adversely affecting any rights or benefits specifically provided by this Agreement to the Seller, including with respect to Servicing Fees.

In the event that any of the Mortgage Loans included on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for a particular Funding Date are Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans (as defined in Exhibit 11 hereto), Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an Additional Collateral Assignment and Servicing Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit 11 hereto, and such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans will be serviced in accordance with the terms of the related Additional Collateral Assignment and Servicing Agreement and the terms of this Agreement.

(2)

To the extent consistent with Section 5.01(1) and further subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer (acting alone or, solely in the circumstances permitted hereunder, acting through a subservicer) shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including the power and authority (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents (including estoppel certificates), (b) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (c) to submit claims to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, (d) to consent to the application of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the restoration of the applicable Mortgaged Property or otherwise, (e) to bring an action in a court of law, including an unlawful detainer action, to enforce rights of the Purchaser with respect to any Mortgaged Property, (f) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing, marketing and sale of any Mortgaged Property or any REO Property, and (g) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action not provided for in this Agreement that is materially inconsistent with or materially prejudices the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan or under this Agreement. The Purchaser shall furnish the Servicer with a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit 5.01 and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties, including documents relating to the foreclosure, receivership, management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing, marketing and sale (in foreclosure or otherwise) of any Mortgaged Property or any REO Property. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Servicer to lend money to (whether on a secured or unsecured basis), and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with, any Mortgagor as though the Servicer were not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(3)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a)

the Servicer acknowledges that the Purchaser will retain title to, and ownership of, the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties and that the Servicer does not hereby acquire any title to, security interest in, or other rights of any kind in or to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property or any portion thereof;

(b)

the Servicer shall not file any lien or any other encumbrance on, exercise any right of setoff against, or attach or assert any claim in or on any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, unless authorized pursuant to a judicial or administrative proceeding or a court order;

(c)

the Servicer shall, in servicing the Mortgage Loans, follow and comply with the servicing guidelines established by FNMA, provided that the Servicer shall specifically notify the Purchaser in writing and obtain the Purchaser’s written consent prior to the Servicer taking any of the following actions: (1) modifying, amending or waiving any of the financial terms of, or making any other material modifications to, a Mortgage Loan, except the Servicer may, upon the Mortgagor’s request, accept a principal prepayment and re-amortize the then remaining principal balance over the then remaining term of the loan (resulting in a lower scheduled monthly payment but no change in the maturity date); (2) selling any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; (3) making, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, Servicing Advances provided that the Servicer shall not be required to so advise the Purchaser to the extent that each related Servicing Advance as to the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property is in the best interests of the Purchaser or other owner of the Mortgage Loan and that are deemed to be recoverable by the Servicer; (4) forgiving principal or interest on, or permitting to be satisfied at a discount, any Mortgage Loan, except for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which have become subject to a securitization; (5) accepting substitute or additional collateral, or releasing any collateral, except for Pledged Assets released in accordance with the PHH Guide, for a Mortgage Loan. If the Purchaser has not approved or rejected in writing any proposed action(s) recommended by the Servicer to be taken hereunder within 20 Business Days of the date such recommendation is made, then the Purchaser shall be deemed to have rejected such recommended action(s) and the Servicer shall not take any such action(s);

(d)

the Servicer shall notify the Purchaser of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof and shall deliver to the Purchaser, for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment promptly following the execution thereof;

(e)

the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the full performance of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding any appointment by the Servicer of a subservicer or subservicers hereunder; and

(f)

the Purchaser may at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon 10 Business Days written notice to the Servicer, terminate the Servicer’s servicing obligations hereunder with respect to any REO Property. Upon the effectiveness of any such termination of the Servicer’s servicing obligations with respect to any such REO Property or Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver all agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto to the Purchaser, in accordance with applicable law. The Purchaser shall reimburse the Servicer for all advances and take the necessary steps to assume the servicing of such loans.

(g)

In connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, if the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the inspection, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Section 5.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans, which procedures shall in any event comply with the servicing standards set forth in Section 5.01. Furthermore, the Servicer shall ascertain and estimate annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgages, will become due and payable 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 5.03

Reports for Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Foreclosure Sales.

The Servicer shall, within five (5) business days following each Record Date, deliver to the Purchaser monthly reports (substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.03(a) and Exhibit 5.03(b) attached hereto) or make such reports available on the Servicer’s website. The Servicer shall, within one (1) Business Day following the occurrence of any foreclosure sale with respect to any Mortgaged Property, deliver to the Purchaser a notice of foreclosure sale substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.03 (c) attached hereto.

Section 5.04

Establishment of Collection Account; Deposits in Collection Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Collection Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5.04 attached hereto. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser. The Collection Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt (or as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement in the case of clauses (8), (9) and (10) of this Section 5.04) and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to each Funding Date, or received by it prior to the Funding Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Funding Date:

(ii)

with respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid for the month of prepayment at the applicable Remittance Rate; provided, however, that the Servicer’s aggregate obligations under this paragraph for any month shall be limited to the total amount of Servicing Fees actually received with respect to the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer during such month;

(5)

all Insurance Proceeds, including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 5.10 and 5.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Properties or released to the applicable Mortgagors in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the related Mortgages or applicable law;

(6)

all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to a Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the related Mortgage or applicable law;

(7)

any Monthly Advances in accordance with Section 6.05;

(8)

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation.

Section 5.05

Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, withdraw amounts from the Collection Account for the following purposes (without duplication):

(1)

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances that the Servicer has determined to be Non-Recoverable Advances as provided in Section 6.06;

(2)

to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts, at the times and in the manner provided for in Section 6.01;

(3)

to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this Subsection (3) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest with respect to which any such Monthly Advance was made;

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for unreimbursed Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this Subsection (4) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds 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 such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where a Seller or the Servicer is required to repurchase (or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for) a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.04, 3.04 and/or 7.02, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent and subordinate to the payment to the Purchaser of the applicable Repurchase Price (or delivery of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(5)

to pay to itself, solely out of the interest portion of the Monthly Payment actually received with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period ending on the most recent Determination Date, the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(7)

to pay LPMI Fees with respect to Mortgage Loans with LPMI Policies;

(8)

to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Sections 2.04, 3.04 and/or 7.02 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined (except to the extent that such amounts constitute part of the Repurchase Price to be remitted to the Purchaser);

(9)

to remove any amounts deposited into the Collection Account in error; and

(10)

to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement, with any funds contained therein to be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate, detailed accounting, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to this Section.

Section 5.06

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute 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. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown on Exhibit 5.06 attached hereto. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall deposit in each Escrow Account on a daily basis and within two (2) business days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the related Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under Sections 5.07 and/or 5.08. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

Section 5.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Accounts.

Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) if permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to reimburse a Mortgagor in connection with the making of the Payoff of the related Mortgage Loan or the termination of all or part of the escrow requirement in connection with the Mortgage Loan, (viii) to remove any amounts deposited into the Escrow Account in error; or (ix) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each 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 Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums, and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, 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 and applicable law. If a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, then the Servicer shall require that any such payments be made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments but shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect a Primary Insurance Policy, conforming in all respects to the description set forth in Section 3.03(30), issued by an insurer described in that Section, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 75% or less in the case of a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% or until such time, if any, as such insurance is required to be released in accordance with the provisions of applicable law including, but not limited to, the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998. The Servicer shall assure that all premiums due under any Primary Insurance Policy are paid in a timely manner, but, shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for premiums paid by the Servicer on behalf of any Mortgagor who is obligated to pay such premiums but fails to do so. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the Funding Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with an insurer that satisfies the standards set forth in Section 3.03(30). The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, then the Servicer shall obtain, and, except as otherwise provided above, maintain, a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with an LTV greater than 80% not covered by a PMI Policy, the Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect any LPMI Policy, and from time to time, withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loans from the Custodial Account in order to pay the LPMI Fee thereon on a timely basis. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to the Mortgage Loan are less than the LPMI Fee with respect to the LPMI Policy, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Fee, in payment of such LPMI Fee. Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall determine whether recoveries under the LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Servicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such LPMI Policy. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

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

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy and LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 5.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal in accordance with Section 5.05.

Section 5.09

Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or any Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time; provided that (i) no such transfer shall be made unless all certifications or letter agreements required under Section 5.04 have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto; and (ii) prior to any such transfer, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collection Account and each Escrow Account shall at all times constitute Eligible Accounts.

Section 5.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (b) the greater of (1) the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or (2) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If any Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, then the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (a) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) or (b) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire, hazard and liability insurance, and to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Note Rate and related Servicing Advances.

All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer, or upon request to the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies (a) currently reflect (1) a general policyholder’s rating of B+ or better and a financial size category of III or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide, or (2) a general policyholder’s rating of “A” or “A-“ or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide, and (b) are licensed to do business in the state wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may accept a policy underwritten by Lloyd’s of London or, if it is the only coverage available, coverage under a state’s Fair Access to Insurance Requirement (FAIR) Plan. If a hazard policy becomes in danger of being terminated, or the insurer ceases to have the ratings noted above, the Servicer shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 5.11.

Pursuant to Section 5.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt, subject to withdrawal in accordance with Section 5.05. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating remittances to the Purchaser, 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 need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

Section 5.11

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

If the Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best’s Key rating of A+:V insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 5.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 5.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 5.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 5.10 and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause; provided that the Servicer shall not be entitled to obtain reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 5.12

Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the “Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond” and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including losses arising by virtue of any Mortgage Loan not being satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.02 and/or losses resulting from or arising in connection with forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of or by such Persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 5.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Guide and by FHLMC in the FHLMC Servicing Guide. The Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser on or before the Funding Date or otherwise upon request: (i) a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and insurance policy; (ii) a written statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser; and (iii) written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy provides that the Purchaser is a beneficiary or loss payee thereunder.

Section 5.13

Management of REO Properties.

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (each, an “REO Property”), the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or the Person (which may be the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser) designated by the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser notifies the Servicer that the Purchaser or such Person 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 Purchaser from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.

The Purchaser by giving notice to the Servicer, may elect to manage and dispose of all REO Property acquired pursuant to this Agreement by itself. If the Purchaser so elects, the Purchaser shall assume control of the REO Property at the time of its acquisition and the Servicer shall forward the related Mortgage File to the Purchaser as soon as is practicable. Promptly upon assumption of control of any REO Property, the Purchaser shall reimburse any related Servicing Advances or other expenses incurred by the Servicer with respect to that REO Property and take such other steps as may be necessary to assume control of the REO Property.

The Servicer (acting alone or through a subservicer), on behalf of the Purchaser, shall, subject to Section 5.01(3)(c), dispose of any REO Property pursuant to Section 5.14. Unless an appraisal prepared by an MAI Appraiser who is Independent in accordance with the provisions of 12 C.F.R. 225.65 shall have been obtained in connection with the acquisition of such REO Property, promptly following any acquisition by the Purchaser (through the Servicer) of an REO Property, the Servicer shall obtain a narrative appraisal thereof (at the expense of the Purchaser) in order to determine the fair market value of such REO Property. The Servicer shall make the results of such appraisal available upon request by the Purchaser. The Servicer shall also cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter, and Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for expenses in connection therewith in accordance with this Agreement. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicer’s Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Purchaser. The Servicer shall also furnish to the Purchaser the applicable reports required under Section 8.01.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a REMIC election has been or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties are held, then the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 86OG(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 86OF(a)(2)(B) or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 86OG(c)(2) of the Code (or comparable provisions of any successor or similar legislation).

The Servicer shall deposit and hold all revenues and funds collected and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property in the Collection Account, and the Servicer shall account separately for revenues and funds received or expended with respect to each REO Property.

The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement (and, in particular, Section 5.01(3)(c)), to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the servicing standards set forth in Section 5.01. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited within two (2) business days in the Collection Account all revenues and collections received or collected by it with respect to each REO Property, including all proceeds of any REO Disposition. Subject to Section 5.15, the Servicer shall withdraw (without duplication) from the Collection Account, but solely from the revenues and collections received or collected by it with respect to a specific REO Property, such funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property, including the following:

(1)

all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(2)

all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(3)

all customary and reasonable costs and expenses necessary to maintain, repair, appraise, evaluate, manage or operate such REO Property (including the customary and reasonable costs incurred by any “managing agent” retained by the Servicer in connection with the maintenance, management or operation of such REO Property);

(4)

all reasonable costs and expenses of restoration improvements, deferred maintenance and tenant improvements; and

(5)

all other reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that the Servicer may suffer or incur in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Section (other than costs and expenses that the Servicer is expressly obligated to bear pursuant to this Agreement).

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above, the Servicer shall, subject to Section 6.06, advance the amount of funds required to cover the shortfall with respect thereto.

The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner in which 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 xxxx the Purchaser for such costs upon the sale of the REO Property and shall not withdraw funds to cover such costs from the Custodial Account.

Following the consummation of an REO Disposition, the Servicer shall remit to the Purchaser, in accordance with Section 6.01, any proceeds from such REO Disposition in the Collection Account following the payment of all expenses and Servicing Advances relating to the subject REO Property.

Section 5.14

Sale of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Subject to Section 5.01 (and, specifically, Section 5.01(3)(c)) and Section 5.15, the Servicer shall offer to sell any REO Property in the manner that is in the best interests of the Purchaser or other owner of the REO, but no later than the time determined by the Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property on or prior to the time specified in Section 5.15. In accordance with the servicing standards set forth in Section 5.01, the Servicer or designated agent of the Servicer shall solicit bids and offers from Persons for the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. To the extent that such loans are not subject to a securitization, the Servicer shall upon receipt thereof, promptly (but in any event within 3 Business Days) present such bids and offers to the Purchaser and shall not accept any bid or offer for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property except in compliance with Section 5.01(3)(c). The Purchaser may reject any bid or offer the Purchaser determines the rejection of such bid or offer would be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall notify the Servicer of such determination within three (3) Business Days of notice of any such bids from the Servicer. If the Purchaser rejects any bid or offer, the Servicer shall, if appropriate, seek an extension of the 3 year period referred to in Section 5.15.

Subject to Section 5.01 and Section 5.15, the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Purchaser in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. To the extent that such Mortgage Loans are not subject to a securitization, the terms of sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be in the sole discretion of the Purchaser. Any sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Disposition shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Purchaser or the Servicer, and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the Servicer shall have no liability to the Purchaser with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Purchaser. The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly deposited in (a) if such sale is an REO Disposition, in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.13 and (b) in any other circumstance, the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04.

Section 5.15

Realization Upon Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Subject to Section 5.01(3)(c), the Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which (a) in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can, in accordance with prudent lending practices, be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 5.01 and (b) such foreclosure or other conversion is otherwise in accordance with Section 5.01. The Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration, repair, protection or maintenance of any property unless it shall determine that such expenses will be recoverable to it as Servicing Advances either through Liquidation Proceeds or through Insurance Proceeds (in accordance with Section 5.05) or from any other source relating to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall be required to advance funds for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such foreclosure proceedings; provided that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated by Section 5.05.

Upon any Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Purchaser thereof, specifying the date on which such Mortgaged Property became an REO Property. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by it, protect and conserve such REO Property in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in Section 5.01 and incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Purchaser, rent the same, or any part thereof, for the period to the sale of such REO Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser shall not, and the Servicer shall not on the Purchaser’s behalf, acquire any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) except in connection with a default or a default that is imminent on a Mortgage Loan. If the Purchaser acquires any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) in connection with such a default, then such property shall be disposed of by the Servicer in accordance with this Section and Section 5.14 as soon as possible but in no event later than 3 years after its acquisition by the Servicer on behalf of the Purchaser, unless the Servicer obtains, at the expense of the Purchaser, in a timely fashion an extension from the Internal Revenue Service for an additional specified period.

Any recommendation of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Property, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for Servicing Advances and fees for work-out compensation in accordance with the FHLMC Servicing Guide, incurred with respect to such REO Property under Section 5.13, shall be applied to the payment of the costs and expenses set forth in Section 5.13(4), with any remaining amounts to be promptly deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.13.

If, in the exercise of its servicing obligations with respect to any Mortgaged Property hereunder, the Servicer deems it is necessary or advisable to obtain an Environmental Assessment, then the Servicer shall so obtain an Environmental Assessment, it being understood that all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with any such Environmental Assessment (including the cost thereof) shall be deemed to be Servicing Advances recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.13(4). Such Environmental Assessment shall (a) assess whether (1) such Mortgaged Property is in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws or (2) after consultation with an environmental expert, taking the actions necessary to comply with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions, and (b) identify whether (1) any circumstances are present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or re mediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or (2) if such circumstances exist, after consultation with an environmental expert, taking such actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions. (The conditions described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall be referred to herein as “Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure.”) If any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall perform such additional environmental testing as it deems necessary and prudent to establish the satisfaction of the foregoing Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure or to proceed as set forth below (such additional testing thereafter being included in the term “Environmental Assessment”).

If an Environmental Assessment deemed necessary or advisable by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 5.15 establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property, but the Servicer in good faith reasonably believes that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to proceed against such Mortgaged Property and, if title thereto is acquired, to take such remedial, corrective or other action with respect to the unsatisfied condition or conditions as may be prescribed by applicable law to satisfy such condition or conditions, then the Servicer shall so notify the Purchaser. If, pursuant to Section 5.01(3)(c), the Purchaser has notified the Servicer in writing to proceed against such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall so proceed. The cost of any remedial, corrective or other action contemplated by the preceding sentence in respect of any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure that is not satisfied shall not be an expense of the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in connection with any such action.

If an Environmental Assessment deemed necessary or advisable by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 5.15 establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property and, in accordance with Section 5.01(3)(c), the Purchaser elects or is deemed to have elected not to proceed against such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall, subject to Section 5.01(3)(c), take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property or directly or indirectly becoming the owner or operator thereof) as determined in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 5.01 and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.

Prior to the Servicer taking any action with respect to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials on any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall request the approval of the Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.01(3)(c) and, if such action is approved by the Purchaser, (a) keep the Purchaser apprised of the progress of such action; and (b) take such action in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

Section 5.16

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account.

The Servicer may direct any depository institution which holds the Collection Account to invest the funds in the Collection Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. In the event amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer shall:

(a)

consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(b)

demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or notice from the Purchaser that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Collection Account.

All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 5.05. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Purchaser may elect to take such action, or instruct the Servicer to take such action, as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings, at the expense of the Servicer.

Section 5.17

MERS.

In the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after the Purchaser’s request (but in no event more than 30 days thereafter with respect to each Mortgage Loan that was a MERS Mortgage Loan as of the Funding Date, or 90 days thereafter with respect to each Mortgage Loan that was a MERS Eligible Mortgage Loan as of the Funding Date and subsequent to the Funding Date becomes a MERS Mortgage Loan), the Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Purchaser 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. Each of the Purchaser and the Servicer shall maintain in good standing its membership in MERS. In addition, Each of the Purchaser and 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. 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. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Purchaser and any successor owner or successor servicer to the extent necessary to ensure that any transfer of ownership or servicing is appropriately reflected on the MERS system.

Section 5.18

Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Customary Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(a)

the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(b)

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:

(c)

the Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(d)

pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser 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 Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

REPORTS; REMITTANCES; ADVANCES

Section 6.01

Remittances.

(1) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Purchaser (a) all amounts credited to the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the related Due Period, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.05, which charges against or withdrawals from the Collection Account the Servicer shall make solely on such Remittance Date, plus (b) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to remit pursuant to Section 6.05; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to remit, until such Remittance Date as provided under Section 6.05, any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the related Due Period.

(2)

All remittances made to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date will be made to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds accordingly to the instructions that will be provided by Purchaser to the Servicer.

(3)

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to One-month LIBOR (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 200 basis points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. Neither the payment by the Servicer nor the acceptance by the Purchaser of any such interest shall be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver by the Purchaser of any Event of Default.

Section 6.02

Reporting.

On or before the fifth Business Day after the end of the related Due Period during the term hereof, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser monthly accounting reports in the forms set forth on Exhibit 6.02 attached hereto (or such other data as is mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Purchaser,) with respect to the most recently ended Monthly Period, or the Servicer shall provide training and passwords to the Purchaser to have access to view such reports via the Servicer’s website. Such monthly accounting reports shall include information as to the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans, the scheduled amortization of all Mortgage Loans, any delinquencies and the amount of any Principal Prepayments as of the most recently ended Record Date.

The Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

(b)

No later than ten days prior to the deadline for the filing of any Distribution Report on Form 10-D in respect of any Securitization Transfer that includes any of the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer, the Servicer shall provide to 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):

The Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer such additional information that is reasonably obtainable by the Servicer as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, including evidence of the authorization of the person signing any certification or statement, financial information and reports, and such other information related to the Servicer or its performance hereunder. Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such additional information shall be at the expense of the Purchaser.

(1) Not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to all Monthly Payments not previously advanced by the Servicer (with interest adjusted to the Remittance Rate) that were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date. The Servicer may reduce the total amount to be deposited in the Collection Account as required by the foregoing sentence by the amount of funds in the Collection Account which represent Prepaid Monthly Payments.

(2)

The Servicer’s obligations to make Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the remittance of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided that such obligation shall cease if the Servicer furnishes to the Purchaser an Officers’ Certificate evidencing the determination by the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.06 that an advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan would constitute a Non-recoverable Advance.

Section 6.06

Non-recoverable Advances.

The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Non-recoverable Advance or that any Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Non-recoverable Advance shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser detailing the reasons for such determination.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE

Section 7.01

Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses, Assumption Agreements.

(1) The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by 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 any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any.

(2)

If the Servicer is prohibited from enforcing such “due-on-sale” clause, then the Servicer will enter into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged 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. (For purposes of this Section 7.01, 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.) If any Mortgage Loan is to be assumed, then the Servicer shall inquire into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee and shall use the same underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee that are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. Where an assumption is allowed, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and subject to the conditions of Section 7.01(3), shall, and is hereby authorized to, enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. In no event shall the Note Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment or the final maturity date be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Purchaser’s Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Purchaser’s Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation for servicing the Mortgage Loans.

(3)

If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, then the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 7.02

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04 have been or will be so deposited and shall request delivery to it of the Purchaser’s Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall promptly prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, or should it otherwise take such action which results in a reduction of the coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, then the Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Purchaser, and, within 10 Business Days following written demand therefor from the Purchaser to the Servicer, the Servicer shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan by paying to the Purchaser the Repurchase Price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to the Purchaser’s Account.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Purchaser’s Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the related mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Purchaser’s Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or nonjudicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Purchaser’s Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds were deposited in the Collection Account, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Servicer.

Section 7.03

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee in respect of a Mortgage Loan for a particular month shall become payable only upon the receipt by the Servicer from the Mortgagor of the full Monthly Payment in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 7.01, late payment charges and other servicer compensation, as provided in Section 5.15, for modifications, short sales, and other shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection Account. 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 therefor except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 7.04
