THIS
SERVICING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into as of the 1st
day of
August, 2008, by and among XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Xxxxxx Holdings” or the “Seller”), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company in its capacity as primary servicer (the “Servicer”),
and AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, in its capacity as Master Servicer under the
Trust
Agreement (as defined herein), and acknowledged by XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A.,
not
in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Trust
Agreement, recites and provides as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Servicer (formerly known as Aurora Loan Services Inc.) and Xxxxxx Brothers
Bank, FSB (the “Bank”) are parties to a Flow Servicing Agreement dated as of
August 31, 1999, pursuant to which the Servicer services certain of the
residential, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans identified on Exhibit
A
hereto (the “Mortgage Loans”).
WHEREAS,
pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement dated as of August 1, 2008
(the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), between the Bank, as assignor, and
Xxxxxx Holdings, as assignee, annexed hereto as Exhibit F, the Bank has assigned
all of its rights, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to Xxxxxx Holdings,
and Xxxxxx Holdings has accepted such assignment.
WHEREAS,
the Seller has conveyed the Mortgage Loans on a servicing-retained basis to
Structured Asset Securities Corporation, a Delaware special purpose corporation
(the “Depositor”), pursuant to a mortgage loan sale and assignment agreement
dated as of August 1, 2008 (the “Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement”),
which in turn has conveyed the Mortgage Loans to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., solely
in its capacity as Trustee, under a trust agreement dated as of August 1, 2008
(the “Trust Agreement”), among the Trustee, Aurora Loan Services LLC, as master
servicer (“Aurora,” and together with any successor Master Servicer appointed
pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the “Master Servicer”) and
the Depositor.
WHEREAS,
from time to time certain other mortgage loans conveyed by the Depositor to
the
Trustee under the Trust Agreement on the Closing Date and serviced by other
servicers may subsequent to the Closing Date be transferred to the Servicer
for
servicing under this Agreement and Exhibit A hereto will be amended by the
parties hereto to include such mortgage loans which will then be “Mortgage
Loans” under this Agreement.
WHEREAS,
the Seller desires that the Servicer service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
this
Agreement, and the Servicer has agreed to do so, subject to the right of the
Seller and of the Master Servicer to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer hereunder at any time and to the other conditions set forth
herein.
WHEREAS,
the Seller and the Servicer agree that the provisions of the Flow Servicing
Agreement shall not apply to the Mortgage Loans for so long as the Mortgage
Loans remain subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement.
WHEREAS,
the Master Servicer shall be obligated under the Trust Agreement, among other
things, to supervise the servicing of the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trustee, and shall have the right, under certain circumstances, to terminate
the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Servicing
Agreement.
WHEREAS,
the Seller and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the Seller will assign
all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations hereunder (excluding
the
Seller’s rights and obligations as owner of the servicing rights relating to the
Mortgage Loans) to the Depositor and the Depositor will assign all of its rights
(but not the obligations, except as set forth in the Trust Agreement) hereunder
to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and that each reference herein
(other than with respect to the Seller’s ownership of the servicing rights) to
the Seller is intended, unless otherwise specified, to mean the Seller or the
Trustee, as assignee, whichever is the owner of the Mortgage Loans from time
to
time.

as
applicable, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do
any and
all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the

Act of
1970, as amended (the “Fair Credit Reporting Act”) and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable)

or charged off.
The
Seller and the Servicer additionally agree as follows:
(a)
The
Servicer shall (i) 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;
(ii) with the cooperation of the Trustee, take such actions as are necessary
to
cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each MERS Mortgage
Loan and each MERS Eligible Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes
of
the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS; (iii) prepare or cause to be prepared all Assignments
of
Mortgage with respect to all Non-MERS Eligible Mortgage Loans; (iv) record
or
cause to be recorded, subject to Section 2.02(b) hereof, all Assignments

The
Servicer shall be entitled to be paid by the Seller fees 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 and fees it incurred
hereunder.
16
(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.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.19,
the
Servicer may waive any late payment charge, assumption fee or other fee that
may
be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Mortgage Loans. Subject
to
the terms of this paragraph, the Servicer may make such modifications as
it
deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund on an aggregate basis;
provided, for purposes of clarification, that any such actions taken in
connection therewith may be taken without regard to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides.
The
Servicer shall not make any future advances to any obligor 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,
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; provided,
that
the maturity date of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the latest
Final Scheduled Distribution Date (as defined in the Trust Agreement), which
is
July 2047. In the event of any such modification, the Servicer shall calculate
the Monthly Payment for such Mortgage Loan based on the modified terms of
such
Mortgage Loan and shall only be required to make Monthly Advances pursuant
to
Section 4.03 to the extent of such new Monthly Payment. If, in connection
with
any modification, a Mortgage Loan has been modified to increase its principal
balance by the amount of any Monthly Advances or any Servicing Advances
previously made by the Servicer on behalf of the related Mortgagor (any such
amount, a “Capitalization Reimbursement Amount”), the Servicer may be reimbursed
for such Capitalization Reimbursement Amount as provided in Section 3.04.
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 or note endorsements and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties; provided,
further,
that
upon the full release or discharge, 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 any powers of attorney 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. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the
Servicer shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any
action suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the
Servicer’s representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to
cause, and that actually causes, 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 Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer shall not otherwise make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan (including any Prepayment
Penalty Amount due on any Mortgage Loan) that would cause any REMIC 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.
17
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ
procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that
it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage
loans
for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices
where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement,
the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, and the Master Servicer’s and Seller’s reliance on the
Servicer.

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.
The Servicer shall also apply payments of interest and principal against
any
Simple Interest Mortgage Loans using the Simple Interest Method.
Section
3.03 Establishment

Servicer. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account established
with an Eligible Institution. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account
may
be invested in Eligible Investments subject to the provisions of Section
3.11
hereof. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer
in accordance with Section 3.04. The creation of any Custodial Account shall

an
amount equal to any Net Simple Interest Shortfall (to the extent not offset
by
Net Simple Interest Excess) for the related Due Period and remit such funds
to
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of the Servicing Fee and Ancillary
Income need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial
Account.
19
Any
interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository
institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer
shall
be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 3.04. Additionally, any other benefit derived from the
Custodial Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation
of
principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. shall
accrue to the Servicer.
Section
3.04 Permitted
Withdrawals From Custodial Account.
The

with
respect to each LPMI Loan, in the amount of the related LPMI Fee, to make

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, Condemnation
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) prior to the deposit of such Mortgagor
payment
or recovery in the Custodial Account, to pay to itself the related Servicing
Fee
from all such Mortgagor payments on account of interest or other such recovery
for interest with respect to that Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
to
pay
itself investment earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial
Account;

(viii)
to
reimburse itself to the extent of funds in the Custodial Account for Monthly
Advances (excluding Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts) of the Servicer’s
funds made pursuant to Section 4.03, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (viii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
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 or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan from any
funds
in the 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 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;
20
(ix)
to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances (excluding Capitalization
Reimbursement Amounts) and for any unpaid Aurora Servicing Fees, the Servicer’s
right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ix) 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

(x)
to
pay
itself an amount equal to the Net Simple Interest Excess, if any, for the
related Due Period to the extent not offset by Net Simple Interest
Shortfalls;
(xi)
to
reimburse itself for any unreimbursed Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts
solely from collections on account of principal in the related Mortgage
Pool;
(xii)
to
reimburse itself for remaining unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect
to
any defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has determined that
all
amounts that it expects to recover on behalf of the Trust Fund from or on
account of such Mortgage Loan have been recovered;
(xiii)
to
reimburse itself for any Prepayment Penalty Amounts deposited to the Custodial
Account in error with respect to any Prepayment Period, but only to the extent
that Prepayment Penalty Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with
respect
to the related Mortgage Pool equal or exceed such Prepayment Charges deposited
in error;
(xiv)
to
reimburse itself for expenses incurred or reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant
to Sections 3.12 and 6.03 to the extent not previously reimbursed under clause
(viii) of this Section 3.04; and
(xv)
to
withdraw funds deposited in error.
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 as directed
by
the Master Servicer. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account
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 certification in the form of Exhibit
C. A
copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Master Servicer within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and, upon request, to any subsequent
owner of the Mortgage Loans.
21
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business
Days, 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 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.
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
timely 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

respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the

(v)
for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance
with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or other similar prudent servicing
practices;
(vi)
to
pay to
the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest

22
(vii)
to

funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Servicer;
and
(viii)
to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
3.07 Maintenance
of PMI Policy and/or LPMI Policy; Claims.
The
Servicer shall comply with all provisions of applicable state and federal
law
relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with respect to,
PMI
Policies, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the Homeowners
Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended
from time to time.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than LPMI Loans) with a loan to value
ratio
at origination in excess of 80%, the Servicer shall maintain or cause the
Mortgagor to maintain (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the
Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) in full force and effect a PMI Policy,
and
shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely
basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event
that
such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another
Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage
equal
to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially
the
same fee level. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result
in
noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the
actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection
with
any assumption or substitution agreements entered into or to be entered into
with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer
under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution
of
liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take
all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a
result
of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain
a
replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
The
Servicer shall take all such actions as are necessary to service, maintain
and
administer the LPMI Loans in accordance with the LPMI Policy and to perform
and
enforce the rights of the insured under such LPMI Policy. Except as expressly
set forth herein, the Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the
Trust
Fund to do anything it reasonably deems appropriate or desirable in connection
with the servicing, maintenance and administration of the LPMI Policy. The
Servicer shall not modify or assume a Mortgage Loan covered by the LPMI Policy
or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage Loan which would result
in non-coverage under the LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions
of
the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. If the LPMI Insurer fails
to
pay a claim under the LPMI Policy as a result of breach by the Servicer of
its
obligations hereunder or under the LPMI Policy, the Servicer shall be required
to deposit in the 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. The Servicer shall cooperate
with the LPMI Insurer and the Master Servicer 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 LPMI
Loan;
provided, however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any LPMI Policy, the
Servicer shall not be required to submit any reports to the LPMI Insurer
until a
reporting date that is at least 15 days after the Servicer has received
sufficient loan level information from the Seller, the Master Servicer or
the
LPMI Insurer to appropriately code its servicing system in accordance with
the
LPMI Insurer’s requirements.
23
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the insurer under
any
PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of
such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as
shall
be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting
a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
PMI
Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04.
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 Policy. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors
and
Omissions Insurance shall be maintained with recognized insurers and shall
be in
such form and amount as would permit the Servicer to be qualified as a Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac seller-servicer. 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 or Trustee a copy of each such
bond and insurance policy if (i) the Master Servicer or Trustee so requests
and
(ii) the Servicer is not an affiliate of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. at the time
of
such request.
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 Custodial
Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused
thereby.
Section
3.10 Completion
and Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
As
soon
as practicable after the Closing Date, the Servicing Transfer Date or the
date
on which a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan is delivered pursuant to Section
2.05 of the Trust Agreement, as applicable (but in no event more than 90
days
thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable public
recording office), the Servicer shall cause the endorsements on the Mortgage
Note (if applicable), and the Assignments of Mortgage (subject to Section
3.01(a)) to be completed in the name of the Trustee (or MERS, as
applicable).
24
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. Such transfer shall be made only upon
obtaining the consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be
withheld unreasonably. The Servicer shall give notice to the Master Servicer
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 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 Master
Servicer or the Trustee if the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account
are
not demand deposit accounts.
Amounts
on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option
of
the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments. Any such Eligible Investment
shall mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related
Remittance Date; provided,
however,
that if
such Eligible Investment is an obligation of an Eligible Institution (other
than
the Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account,
then
such Eligible Investment may mature on 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 Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the
Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
Section
3.12 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may
become
a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy and LPMI
Policy
(if any) 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, 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. The Servicer shall not be required to maintain records with respect
to
the payment of LPMI Premiums unless the Servicer shall be required to make
payment of such premiums and such requirement shall be indicated on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule with respect to each applicable Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills, shall
effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow
Payments, and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
With regard to any Mortgage Loans for which the Mortgagor is not required
to
escrow Escrow Payments with the Servicer, the Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to determine that any
such
payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first became due and
shall
insure that the Mortgaged Property is not lost to a tax lien as a result
of
nonpayment and that such Mortgage is not left uninsured and shall make advances
from its own funds to effect any such delinquent payments to avoid the lapse
of
insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property or to avoid the imposition of
a tax
lien.
25
Section
3.13 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan, with a generally
acceptable insurer, fire and hazard insurance of extended coverage on the
related Mortgaged Property, in an amount which is at least equal to the greater
of (i) the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (ii)
an
amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer. It is understood
and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to
be
maintained by the Servicer in connection with any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged
Property, other than pursuant to applicable laws and regulations that require
the Servicer to cause such additional insurance to be maintained.
If
upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located
in
an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been
made
available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally
acceptable insurance carrier in an amount representing coverage equal to
the
lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to
compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid
balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for
the
type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which
is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If
at any
time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance
with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides that a Mortgaged
Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by
flood
insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the
Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the
related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage,
and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage
within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall force
place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
Section
3.14 Maintenance
of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy (a "Mortgage
Impairment Insurance Policy") insuring against losses arising from fire and
hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then,
to
the extent such Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy provides coverage in
an
amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.13 and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 3.13, it shall conclusively
be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.13. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any such Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account
or Escrow Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.04 or 3.06.
Such
Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which
case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.13, and there shall
have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall
deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not
otherwise payable under such blanket policy because of such deductible clause,
such amount to deposited from the Servicer's funds, without reimbursement
therefor.
26
Section
3.15 Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee or 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 (without
regard to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides). At a minimum, with respect to claims greater
than $10,000, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in
connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds:
(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; and
(iii)
pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
Section
3.16 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or
by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the
name of the Trustee (or MERS, as applicable), or in the event (a) the Trustee
is
not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where
the REO Property is located, (b) the Servicer deems it contrary to the Trustee’s
interest to take title in the Trustee’s name or the name of MERS, or (c) the
Trustee 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 the Servicer, who hereby acknowledges that such title is being
taken as nominee for the Trustee.
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. If the Servicer determines that
it is
in the best interest of the Trust Fund to not proceed with foreclosure or
accept
a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall have the right to do so,
whereupon the related Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be finally liquidated
and
the Servicer shall have the right to release the lien of the Mortgage on
the
related Mortgage Property and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
for all outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances
from
the Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.04(ix). The Servicer shall
not be responsible for allowing tenants and lessees to occupy a Mortgaged
Property if the eviction of such tenants and lessees is not permitted under
state or local law.
27
The
Servicer may permit an obligor to pay off a non-performing Mortgage Loan
at less
than its unpaid principal balance or charge off all or a portion of such
non-performing Mortgage Loan if such discounted payoff or charge off is in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (without regard to the Xxxxxx
Xxx
Guides) and the Servicer believes that such discounted payoff or charge off
is
in the best interest of the Trust Fund; provided that in the case of any
proposed discounted payoff or proposed charge off, the Servicer shall notify
the
Master Servicer of the proposed discounted payoff or charge off. The
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the discounted payoff or
charge
off of any Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer notifies the Servicer
in
writing, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the related notice,
that it disapproves of the discounted payoff or charge off, in which case
the
Servicer shall not proceed with such discounted payoff or charge
off.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.16, 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 Trustee
or
the Master Servicer 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 Trustee and the Master Servicer 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 whether or not the Mortgaged Property
is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall
not,
without the prior approval of the Master Servicer, proceed with foreclosure
or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In such instance, the Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have approved such foreclosure or acceptance
of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure unless the Master Servicer notifies the Servicer
in
writing, within two (2) Business 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.
Subject
to the approval of the Master Servicer as described in this paragraph, the
disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price,
and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interests of the Trust Fund. Prior to acceptance by the Servicer of an offer
to
sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such
offer in writing which notification shall set forth all material terms of
said
offer (each, a “Notice of Sale”). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
approved the sale of any REO Property unless the Master Servicer notifies
the
Servicer in writing, within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the
related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which
case
the Servicer shall not proceed with the sale. With respect to any REO Property,
upon a REO Disposition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain from REO
Disposition Proceeds a disposition fee equal to $1,500.
28
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 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 and has notified the
Master
Servicer and the Trustee of such extension by providing a copy of the
application and the grant of such extension to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer. If the Servicer has received such an extension, 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 the 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 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.
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 with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
The
Servicer shall not be responsible for allowing tenants and lessees to occupy
a
Mortgaged Property if the eviction of such tenants and lessees is not permitted
under state or local law.
29
The
Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with
extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance
and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required
above.
The
Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including
the
cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides.
The
Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the
Master
Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the
revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section
3.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained
to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).
If
the
Servicer determines that, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
it is
in the best interest of the Trust Fund not to proceed with foreclosure or
accept
a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall have the right to do so
with
the consent of the Master Servicer, whereupon the related Mortgage Loan shall
be
deemed to be finally liquidated and the Servicer shall have the right to
release
the lien of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property and the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for all outstanding unreimbursed Monthly
Advances and Servicing Advances from the Custodial Account in accordance
with
Sections 3.04(viii) and (ix).
Section
3.17 Real
Estate Owned Reports.
Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall
furnish to the Master Servicer 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 the Master Servicer shall reasonably
request.
Section
3.18 MERS.
(a)
The
Servicer shall use its Best Efforts to cause the Trustee to be 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 of such Mortgage
Loans of which the Servicer has notice.
(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, the Master Servicer and any successor servicer
to
the extent necessary to ensure that such transfer of servicing is appropriately
reflected on the MERS system.
30
Section
3.19 Waiver
of Prepayment Penalty Amounts.
Except
as
provided below, the Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive
any
Prepayment Penalty Amount with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer
or
its designee fails to collect a Prepayment Penalty Amount at the time of
the
related prepayment of any Mortgage Loan subject to such Prepayment Penalty
Amount, the Servicer shall pay to the Trust Fund at such time (by deposit
to the
Custodial Account) an amount equal to the amount of the Prepayment Penalty
Amount not collected; provided,
however,
the
Servicer shall not have any obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected
Prepayment Penalty Amount under this Section 3.19 if the failure to collect
such
amount is the result of inaccurate or incomplete information in the Prepayment
Penalty Amount Schedule provided by the Seller and which is included as part
of
the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Prepayment Penalty
Amounts listed on the Prepayment Penalty Amount Schedule attached hereto
as
Exhibit A are complete, true and accurate and may be relied on by the Servicer
in its calculation of Prepayment Penalty Amounts. If the Prepayment Penalty
Amount data set forth on Exhibit A is incorrect, then the Servicer shall
have no
liability for any loss resulting from calculation of Prepayment Penalty Amounts
using the data provided. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee
may waive a Prepayment Penalty Amount without paying to the Trust Fund the
amount of such Prepayment Penalty Amount only if such Prepayment Penalty
Amount
(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 Loan, 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 Penalty Amount and the related Mortgage Loan,
or
(ii) relates to a prepayment charge the collection of which, if collected,
would
be a violation of applicable laws.
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 and the Trustee information
reasonably available to it regarding such security measures upon the reasonable
request of the Master Servicer 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.

is 90
days or more delinquent. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to deliver
such

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
pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to
time
are in force.
(b)
In
addition, no more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, commencing

for the completion of any tax reporting responsibility of the Trustee within
such reasonable time frame as shall enable the Trustee to timely file each
Schedule Q (or other applicable tax report or return) required to be filed
by
it.
33
(c)
The
Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Servicer of the
type
described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB, (ii) if the Servicer shall
become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate of any of the
parties listed on Exhibit I to this Agreement
and (iii) provide to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a description of
such
proceedings, affiliations or relationships.
If
so
requested by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor on any date
following the date on which information was first provided to the Trustee
and
the Depositor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall, using
its
best reasonable efforts within five (5) Business Days but in no event later
than
ten (10) 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.
The
Servicer shall provide to

the
Servicer and other transaction parties.
(d)
Not
later
than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not
a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall
provide to the Master Servicer notice of the occurrence of any material
modifications, extensions or waivers of terms, fees, penalties or payments
relating to the Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period or that have
cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB)
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.
Section
4.03 Monthly
Advances by Servicer.
On
the
Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall
deposit in the 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 (in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage
Loans, solely the portion of the Monthly Payment attributable to interest)
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 or which were deferred pursuant to Section 3.01. The Servicer’s obligation
to make such 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 last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the
distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries
(including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to
the
Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer deems such Monthly Advances to be
unrecoverable; provided that, if requested by the Master Servicer, such
determination that a Monthly Advance is unrecoverable shall be evidenced
by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.03 to the contrary, the Servicer’s
obligation to make Monthly Advances on the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate
for a
Remittance Date shall be reduced by any Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts
reimbursed to the Servicer during the related Due Period.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES

Compensation.
As
consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement,
the
Servicer shall retain (i) the relevant Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan
remaining subject to this Agreement during any month and (ii) Ancillary Income.
In addition, if at any time the Servicer is the Retained Interest Holder
with
respect to any Mortgage Loans, then the Servicer, as the Retained Interest
Holder, shall retain an amount equal to the Retained Interest relating to
such
Mortgage Loans; provided, that (i) the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall
have no obligation to make payment of the Retained Interest to the Servicer
and
(ii) the Servicer’s right to retain the Retained Interest is limited to (and the
Retained Interest may only be retained from) the interest portion (including
recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds to the extent
permitted by Section 3.04 of this Agreement) of the Monthly Payments collected
by the Servicer with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is
in
fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The Servicing Fee
shall
be payable monthly. The Servicing Fees shall be payable only at the time
of and
with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of
the
entire amount of the Monthly Payment or as otherwise provided in Section
3.04.
The obligation of the Trust Fund (if any) to pay the Servicing Fees is limited

member
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to
the

March 15th, of each calendar year, commencing in 2009, at its own expense,
furnish to the Seller, the Trustee, the Depositor and Master Servicer a report

The
Servicer shall, using its best reasonable efforts, on or before March

preceding Business Day), at its own expense, deliver to the Seller, the Trustee,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer with respect to the period ending on
the
immediately preceding December 31, a Servicing Officer’s certificate in the form
of Exhibit J hereto, stating, as to each signer thereof, that (1) a review
of
the activities of the Servicer during such preceding calendar year or portion

made under such Servicing Officer’s supervision and (2) to the best of such
officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such
year
(or applicable portion thereof), or, if there has been a failure to fulfill
any
such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such
failure known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof,
including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such
default.
(b)
For
so
long as a certificate under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended,
(“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”) is required to be given on behalf of the Trust Fund, a
Servicing Officer shall, using its best reasonable efforts, on or before
March
15th (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) of
each
calendar year, beginning in 2009, execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor for the benefit of the Trust Fund,
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor and their officers, directors and affiliates,
in the form of Exhibit E hereto.
(c) The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Master Servicer,

affiliates of its obligations under this Section 5.03 or the negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold

that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer
and/or
the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of
the
Master Servicer and/or the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate
to
reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer and/or the Depositor on
the
one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the
Servicer’s obligations under this Section 5.03 or the Servicer’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
36
Section
5.04 Report
on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
The
Servicer shall, using its best reasonable efforts, on or before March
15th
of each
calendar year, commencing in 2009 (or, if not a Business Day, on the immediately
preceding Business Day), deliver to the Seller, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Depositor a report regarding its assessment of compliance with the
servicing criteria identified in Exhibit H attached hereto, as of and for
the
immediately preceding calendar year. Such report shall address all of the
servicing criteria specified in Exhibit H. Each such report shall include
(a) a
statement of the party’s responsibility for assessing compliance with the
servicing criteria applicable to such party, (b) a statement that such party
used the criteria identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (§ 229.1122(d)) to
assess compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, (c) disclosure
of any
material instance of noncompliance identified by such party, and (d) a statement
that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report
on
such party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria,
which report shall be delivered by the Servicer as provided in Section
5.02.
Section
5.05 Transfers
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision
contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the
person
to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent
it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable
thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such rights
if
prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair
or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy,
if any.
If
the
Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such
“due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall make all commercially reasonable
efforts to enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the
person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains
liable
thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law
to
require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note
and
the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer,
a
substitution of liability agreement with the owner of the Mortgaged Property
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the
owner of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note; provided that no such substitutions should be permitted
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. The
Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements,
representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify
the
Master Servicer that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been
contemplated by forwarding to the Master Servicer a copy of such assumption
or
substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates).
The
Servicer shall forward an original copy of such agreement to the applicable
Custodian to be held by such Custodian with the other documents related to

Servicer, the Trust Fund and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents and the Trust Fund and shall 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 to Section
7.04(c) any Subcontractor that is a Participating Entity;
(B) the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans
in
material compliance with the terms of this Agreement or
(C) the
failure of the Servicer to cause any event to occur or not to occur which
would
have occurred or would not have occurred, as applicable, if the Servicer
were
applying Accepted Servicing Practices under this Agreement.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(A) of this Section
6.03, the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation,
execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission
with
respect to the transaction relating to this Agreement, or for execution of
a
certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange
Act with respect to this transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by
each
such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification,
accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer,
any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.
The
Servicer shall immediately notify the Seller, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or any other relevant party if a claim
is
made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans,
assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party in the event
of
an indemnified claim) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses
in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any other
party in respect of such claim and 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 Trust Fund shall indemnify the Servicer and hold the
Servicer harmless against any and all Costs that the Servicer may sustain
in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates
or
the origination or Servicing of the Mortgage Loans by any prior owner or
servicer, other than any Costs incurred by reason of the Servicer’s willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or
by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder.
41
Section
6.04 Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
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
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the related Residual Certificate,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee 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 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 Master
Servicer, the Trustee and 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
the
Certificates).
Section
6.05 Reporting
Requirements of the Commission and Indemnification.
Notwithstanding
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
7.04 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB. Therefore,
the
Servicer agrees that (a) the 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 counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of
Regulation AB, (c) the Servicer shall agree to 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 such interpretive advice
or guidance, convention, consensus, advice of counsel, or otherwise, (d)
the
Servicer shall otherwise comply with requests made by the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information
as
such parties may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the

Servicer shall (i) agree to such modifications and enter into such amendments
to

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 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 determined by the Depositor in its sole discretion and
its
counsel to be necessary or advisable to comply with any Commission and industry
guidance and convention. Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph, any modifications or amendments of the obligations
of
the Servicer under this agreement made pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall
be
made in writing and upon mutual agreement with the Servicer (provided that
such
agreement will not unreasonably withheld).
42
The
Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master
Servicer, the Trustee, their respective officers and directors and each person,
if any, who controls the Trustee, the Depositor 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,
the Trustee, 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 Trustee, 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 Trustee, the Depositor
or Master Servicer by or on behalf of the Servicer specifically in connection
with 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
limited liability company, 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
(or limited liability company) 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 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 $25,000,000, and
(ii)
which is a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac 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
or the
Trustee 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 Master
Servicer, undertake any such action which it may deem 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.
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 (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans)
and the
Master Servicer, which consent, in the case of an assignment of rights or
delegation of duties, shall be granted or withheld in the discretion of the
Seller and the Master Servicer, and which consent, in the case of a sale
or
disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the
Servicer, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case,
there
must be delivered to the Master Servicer 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Seller (as owner
of the
servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee, 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, 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.
44
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it
except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and
the
Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable
to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor 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 Trustee and the Master Servicer,
then the Seller, the Trustee or the Master Servicer 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
and
(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. 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.
45
(b)
The
Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and
the Depositor of the appointment of any Subservicer and shall furnish to
the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor 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. 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(a), 5.03(b), 5.04, 6.01(k) and 6.03 and Exhibit
H
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 and the Depositor any servicer
compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section
5.03(a), 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(b) 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)
On
or
prior to March 15th
of each
year, beginning in 2009, the Servicer shall provide written notice to the
Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of (A) which (if any) Subcontractors
are
Participating Entities, and (B) 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 for which the Servicer does not
elect
to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria
in
accordance with Regulation AB Telephone Interpretation 17.06 identified pursuant
to clause (A) of this paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a
Participating Entity, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used
by
the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Trustee, 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 H of this Agreement to the same
extent
as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible
for obtaining from each Subcontractor for which the Servicer does not elect
to
take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria
in
accordance with Regulation AB Telephone Interpretation 17.06 and delivering
to
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of compliance
and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections
5.02 and 5.04, in each case as and when required to be delivered.
The
Servicer acknowledges that a 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 a Participating Entity on the basis
of
the aggregate balance of such mortgage loans, without regard to whether such
Subcontractor would be a Participating Entity with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
viewed in isolation. 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 Subcontractor and (B) cause 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.
46
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 Master
Servicer 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.

Servicer by the Master Servicer; or
(ii)
any

required to be provided by any Subservicer or Subcontractor pursuant to Section

the
date of delivery date specified in such section with respect to such

(iii)
except
with respect to those items listed in clause (ii) above, any failure by the
Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, without notice
or
grace period, its obligations to provide the information, data and materials
required to be provided hereunder pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), 4.02(d),
6.01(k)
and 7.04, including any items required to be included in any Exchange Act
report; or
(iv)

by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business or service residential
mortgage loans in any jurisdiction, if required by such jurisdiction, where
the
Mortgaged Properties are located; or
47
(vi)
a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
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
(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

duties
hereunder or any portion thereof (to other than a third party in the case
of
outsourcing routine tasks including, but not limited to, taxes, insurance,
property inspection, reconveyance, collection or brokering REO Property),
in
each case without complying fully with the provisions of Section
7.03.
In
each
and every such case, so long as an event of default shall not have been
remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Seller or the Master Servicer
may
have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, the Seller or 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
Seller and the Master Servicer. Upon written request from the Seller, the
Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated
by the Seller 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 Seller and the Master Servicer
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.
48
By
a
written notice, the Seller and 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.
Section
8.02 Termination
Without Cause.
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 advances by the Servicer for the same), and (b) the disposition
of
all REO Property acquired upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage Loan and
the
remittance of all funds due hereunder, (ii) mutual consent of the Servicer,
the
Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans),
the
Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing or (iii) at the sole discretion
of
the Seller (acting in its capacity as owner of the servicing rights relating
to
the Mortgage Loans). Any such termination pursuant to clause (iii) above
shall
be with 30 days’ prior notice, in writing and delivered to the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Servicer by registered mail to the addresses set

in Section 9.03 of this Agreement (in the case of the Servicer) or in the
Trust
Agreement (in the case of the Trustee or the Master Servicer). The Servicer
shall comply with the termination procedures set forth in Sections 7.03,
8.01
and 9.01 hereof. The Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have no right to
terminate the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.02. In connection with
a
termination by the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.02,
the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all unreimbursed out-of-pocket Servicing
Advances, Monthly Advances and Servicing Fees and other reasonable and necessary
out-of-pocket costs associated with any transfer of servicing at the time
of
such transfer of servicing. Any invoices received by the Servicer after
termination will be forwarded to the Seller or the successor servicer for
payment within thirty (30) days of receipt from the Servicer.
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 respect to the servicing of those Mortgage Loans that
are
determined to be Distressed Mortgage Loans and in such event servicing of
such
Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to the Special Servicer. The termination
referenced in the preceding sentence, 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,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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) 0.25% 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, as agreed to by the Servicer and the Special Servicer in accordance

49
(b)
All

servicing to the Special Servicer including, without limitation, the costs
and
expenses of the Trustee, the Servicer or any other Person in connection with
such transfer including the transfer of the Servicing Files and the other
necessary data to the Special Servicer, shall be paid by the Seller from
its own
funds without reimbursement. The Seller shall be responsible for the delivery
of
all required transfer notices and will send a copy of the transfer notice
to the
Trustee.
(c)
The
Special Servicer shall be an institution (i) having a net worth of not less

ARTICLE
IX.
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(ii), the Master
Servicer shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities,
rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, 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) pursuant to a termination under Section 8.02(iii),
the
Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans)
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, to the extent required
by
the Trust Agreement, the Trustee and such successor, 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). Any approval of a successor servicer by the Master
Servicer and, to the extent required by the Trust Agreement, the Trustee,
shall,
if the successor servicer is not at that time a servicer of other Mortgage
Loans
for the Trust Fund, be conditioned upon the receipt by the Master Servicer
and
the Trustee 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. 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 that permitted the
Servicer 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 shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01
and
shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Sections 6.01 and the remedies available to the Master Servicer
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 to
the
Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer,
or
the termination of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer, in its capacity
as successor servicer, nor any other successor servicer, shall be responsible
for the lack of information and/or documents that are not transferred to
it by
the Servicer and that it cannot otherwise obtain through reasonable
efforts.
50
Within
a
reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the
appointment of a successor entity, 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 and
endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and related documents, and the preparation
and
recordation of Assignments of Mortgage. The Servicer shall cooperate with
the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, 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 Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set
forth herein, the Servicer shall not be prohibited from retaining copies
of the
Mortgage Loan documents, Servicing Files and other records related to the
Mortgage Loans as the Servicer reasonably deems necessary.
51
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer 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 (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 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 Master Servicer 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 8.02(iii) 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
Custodial Account and Escrow Account (and any funds thereafter received by
it
with respect to the Mortgage Loans) 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
Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Master Servicer of such appointment
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.03.
Section
9.02 Costs.
Xxxxxx
Holdings shall pay the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys. Costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the servicing
responsibilities, including fees for delivering Servicing Files, shall be
paid
by Xxxxxx Holdings. Subject to Sections 2.02 and 3.01(a), the Depositor shall
pay the costs associated with the preparation, delivery and recording of
Assignments of Mortgages.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer
shall
not be obligated to provide notices pursuant to this Agreement to any other
party whose address is not provided in this Section 9.03 until 30 days after
the
Servicer has received notice of the appointment of such other party (including
the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of such
party).
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.
54
Section
9.05 No
Personal Solicitation.
From
and
after the 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 on the Servicer’s behalf, to
personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the borrower or obligor under any
Mortgage Loan (on a targeted basis) for any purposes of prepayment, refinancing
or modification of the related Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that this
limitation shall not prohibit the Servicer from soliciting such Mortgagor
for
purposes of prepayment, refinance or modification of any loan owned or serviced
by the Servicer other than a Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is
understood and agreed that, among other marketing activities, promotions
and
solicitations (including, without limitation, those for purposes of prepayment,
refinance or modification) undertaken by the Servicer which are directed
to the
general public at large or which are directed generally to a segment of the
then
existing customers of the Servicer or any of its affiliates (including, without
limitation, the mailing of promotional materials to the Servicer’s or its
affiliates’ deposit customers by inserting such materials into customer account
statements, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists and
newspaper, radio and television advertisements and solicitations made on
the
basis of information acquired by the Servicer or its affiliates that indicates
that a borrower may be planning to refinance) shall not constitute solicitation
under this section. Language included on or in the Servicer’s website,
interactive voice response system, coupon books or billing statements that
is
not specifically targeted at the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan,
shall not be deemed to constitute solicitations under Section 9.05. In the
event
the Servicer does refinance any Mortgage Loan as a result of a violation
of the
requirements set forth in this Section 9.05, the Servicer hereby agrees to
pay
to the Trust Fund an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the
amount
that the Trust Fund would have received if it had sold the Mortgage Loan
to a
third party, and the proceeds received by the Trust Fund as a result of such
refinancing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this section shall
not
prohibit the Servicer or its agent or affiliates from serving the refinancing
needs or other financial needs of a Mortgagor who, without solicitation,
contacts the Servicer or its agents or affiliates directly.
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

related thereto.

and
immunities afforded to it under the Trust Agreement). All references to the

that
it is appropriate, in furtherance of the intent of such parties as set forth
herein, that the Trustee and the Depositor 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 and the Depositor as if they were parties to this Agreement, and
the
Trustee (acting through the Master Servicer) and the Depositor 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all rights of the Trustee and the Depositor hereunder (other than
the
right to indemnification) and all rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder (other than the right to indemnification) shall terminate upon
the
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Subject “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 Mae regional
office if they have any questions about this expanded reporting
requirement.

SERVICING
OF THE TRANSFERRED MORTGAGE LOANS
Section

Servicer to Service.
The
Special Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer
the
Transferred Mortgage Loans from and after each Servicing Transfer Date, as
applicable, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do
any and
all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the
Special Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms
of
this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Special Servicer
shall
not perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder through subservicers;
provided, however, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of
a tax
service, or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property
or
the retention of 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. Simultaneously
with
the execution of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall enter into an
acknowledgment agreement with respect to the related Custodial Agreement.
If
Aurora is the Prior Servicer, the Seller shall promptly notify Aurora that
this
Agreement has been entered into and, upon request, shall deliver a copy of
this
Agreement to Aurora.

The
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer additionally agree that
the

Reporting Act of 1970, as amended (the “Fair Credit Reporting Act”) and its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable
and
unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans
Union
Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
basis.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may waive, modify
or vary
any term of any Transferred Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement
of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to
any
Mortgagor if in the Special Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to
the Trust Fund on an aggregate basis, provided, however, that unless the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loan or
such
default is, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, imminent, the Special
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Transferred
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the
payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal
balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity
date on such Transferred Mortgage Loan; provided, that the maturity date
of any
Transferred Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the latest Final Scheduled
Distribution Date (as defined in the Trust Agreement), which is July 2047.
In
the event of any such modification, the Servicer shall calculate the Monthly
Payment for such Transferred Mortgage Loan based on the modified terms of
such
Transferred Mortgage Loan and shall only be required to make Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03 to the extent of such new Monthly Payment. If, in
connection with any modification, a Transferred Mortgage Loan has been modified
to increase its principal balance by the amount of any Monthly Advances or
any
Servicing Advances previously made by the Servicer on behalf of the related
Mortgagor (any such amount, a “Capitalization Reimbursement Amount”), the
Servicer may be reimbursed for such Capitalization Reimbursement Amount as
provided in Section 3.04. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the
Special 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 Transferred Mortgage Loans
and
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties; provided, further, that upon the
full
release or discharge, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Custodian
of
the related Mortgage Loan of such full release or discharge. If reasonably
required by the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Special Servicer
with any powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto and
other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Special Servicer to carry
out
its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement; provided,
that
the
Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Special Servicer under
such
powers of attorney. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not, without
the
Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action suit or proceeding solely
under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Servicer’s representative
capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually
causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. Promptly
after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of any Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special 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 Special Servicer shall not make
or
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Transferred
Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC 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.
K-18
In
servicing and administering the Transferred Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer
shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the
same
care that it would employ and exercise in servicing and administering similar
mortgage loans for other institutional investors, giving due consideration
to
Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the
requirements of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not be required
to
make any Servicing Advance if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute
a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance as defined herein.
Section
3.02 Collection
and Liquidation of Transferred Mortgage Loans.
Continuously
from each Servicing Transfer Date until the date each Transferred Mortgage
Loan
ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall proceed
diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Transferred Mortgage
Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care
in
ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments, to the extent such payments
are
required to be made by the related Mortgagor, and all other charges that
will
become due and payable with respect to the Transferred 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.
The
Special Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures
that
the Special Servicer would use in servicing similar mortgage loans for other
institutional investors, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
the
ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default
and
as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01. The Special Servicer shall
use its
best efforts to realize upon defaulted Transferred Mortgage Loans in such
a
manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trust
Fund,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.
The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage, the Special Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it
shall
determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of liquidation of the related Transferred Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses
will be recoverable by the Special Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property. In the event that
any
payment due under any Transferred Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant
to
Section 3.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the
event
the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the
Transferred Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable
grace
period, the Special Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Special Servicer
would take for other institutional investors under similar circumstances
with
respect to a similar mortgage loan, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, (3) the Special Servicer shall determine prudently to
be in
the best interest of the Trust Fund, and (4) is consistent with any related
LPMI
Policy.
K-19
Section
3.03 Establishment
of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
The
Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to the Transferred Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of

“[SPECIAL SERVICER] in trust for [TRUSTEE], as Trustee for the [Structured
Asset
Securities Corporation]”. Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Deposit
Account established with an Eligible Institution in a manner that shall provide
maximum available insurance thereunder. Any funds deposited in the Custodial
Account may be invested in Eligible Investments subject to the provisions
of
Section 3.10 hereof. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn

furnished to the Master Servicer upon request.
The
Special Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account, within two (2) business

other
amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to this
Agreement;
(viii) with
respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest

be
made from the Special Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor up to
a maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received for such
month
for the Transferred Mortgage Loans;
(ix) all
Monthly Advances made by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
4.03;

3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance

Disposition Proceeds;
(xiii) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
3.16 in connection with any unpaid claims that are a result of a breach by
the
Special Servicer or any subservicer of the obligations hereunder or under
the
terms of a PMI Policy; and
(xiv) any
amounts received by the Special Servicer under a PMI or LPMI
Policy.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of the Servicing Fee or Ancillary
Income need not be deposited by the Special Servicer into the Custodial Account.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository
institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Special Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04. Additionally, any other benefit
derived from the Custodial Account associated with the receipt, disbursement
and
accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage
insurance, etc. shall accrue to the Special Servicer.

was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect
to such
Transferred Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such unreimbursed
Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds and other
amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, it being understood
that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Special Servicer’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Trust Fund;
(iv) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances
(excluding Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts), the Special Servicer’s right

error;
(xi) to
withdraw funds deposited in error; and
(xii) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
3.05 Establishment
of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The
Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to a Transferred 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, “[SPECIAL SERVICER] in trust for [TRUSTEE], as Trustee for the
[SERIES NO.]”. Each
Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account 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
Special
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 hereto. A copy of such certification or letter agreement
shall
be furnished to the Master Servicer upon request.
The
Special Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily
basis, within two (2) Business Days of receipt, and retain therein:
(i) all

the
purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the

the
extent required by law, the Special 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; provided, that, the accounts are maintained at an Eligible Institution
selected by the Special Servicer.
K-23

insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums
or
other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(iii) to
refund
to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required

the
extent permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Custodial Account

the
Escrow Accounts or Custodial Account to the extent not collected from the

necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property,
or
which the Special Servicer knows or 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 Special Servicer receives notice of a tax
lien
with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Special 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.

With
respect to each adjustable rate Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special 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 Special 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 Special Servicer
shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer

adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Special Servicer or the receipt of
notice
from the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer has failed to adjust a
Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment in accordance with the terms of
the
related Mortgage Note, the Special Servicer shall immediately deposit in
the
Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral
caused the Seller thereby.
Section
3.08 Completion
and Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
As
soon as practicable after the Servicing Transfer Date or the date on which
a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan is delivered pursuant to Section 2.05
of the
Trust Agreement, as applicable (but in no event more than 90 days thereafter
except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable public recording
office), the Special Servicer, if such actions have not already been taken,
shall (i) 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;
(ii) with the cooperation of the Trustee, take such actions as are necessary
to
cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each MERS Mortgage
Loan and each MERS Eligible Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes
of
the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS; (iii) prepare or cause to be prepared all Assignments

entitled to be paid by the Seller fees 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 Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall submit to the Seller a reasonably detailed
invoice for reimbursement of recording costs and fees it incurred
hereunder.
K-25
Section
3.09 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
(a) With
respect to each Transferred Mortgage Loan which provides for Escrow Payments,
the Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status
of
ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges
which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status
of
fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all
by
the Special Servicer for the payment of such charges (including renewal
premiums) (“Property
Charges”)
and
shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow
Account
which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Special Servicer in
amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the
Mortgage. The Special Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such Property Charges and shall effect timely payment of all
such
charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of
same or the making of the Escrow Payments.
(b)
To
the
extent that a Transferred Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments,
the Special Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect payment
of
all Property Charges to the extent necessary to preserve the lien status
of the
Mortgage, to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property
or
to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or foreclosure
as
a result of a tax lien. The Special Servicer shall pay any late fee or penalty
which is payable due to any delay in payment of any Property Charge. Such
late
fees or penalties shall be deemed to be Servicing Advances, reimbursable
to
Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.
Section
3.10 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 Special Servicer
shall give notice to the Master Servicer of any change in the location of
the
Custodial Account or Escrow Account no later than 30 days after any such
transfer is made and deliver to the Master Servicer a certification notice
in
the form of Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable, with respect to such Eligible
Institution.
The
Special Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee if the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow
Account are not demand deposit accounts.
Amounts
on deposit in the Custodial Account may at the option of the Special Servicer
be
invested in Eligible Investments. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature
no
later than three days prior to the Remittance Date; provided, however, that
if
such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Eligible Institution (other
than
the Special Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account, then such Eligible
Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment
shall be made in the name of the Special 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 Special Servicer and may be withdrawn at
any
time by the Special Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such
investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, by the Special Servicer
out of its own funds immediately as realized.
K-26
Section
3.11 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Special Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Transferred Mortgage
Loan
hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are
insured
by a generally acceptable insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx
Mac
guidelines against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,
in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value
of
the improvements securing such Transferred Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater
of
(x) the outstanding principal balance of the Transferred Mortgage Loan and
(y)
an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.
If
upon
origination of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property
was
located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance
has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of
the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with
a
generally acceptable insurance carrier rated B:VI or better in the current
edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide in an amount representing coverage equal to
the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage,
to
compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid
balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for
the
type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which
is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If
at any
time during the term of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer
determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae
Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area
and
is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the
amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,
the
Special Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must
obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain
the
required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such
notification, the Special Servicer shall immediately force place the required
flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
If
a
Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Special Servicer
shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including
hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in
accordance with then current Xxxxxx Xxx requirements, and secure from the
owner’s association its agreement to notify the Special Servicer promptly of any
change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss
that
may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security.
K-27
The
Special Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property
earthquake or such other or additional insurance only to the extent required
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be
in
force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the
requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required
to
conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall determine that
the
Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and
risks
not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgage, the Special Servicer shall communicate and
consult
with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring
to the
Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged
Property.
All
policies required hereunder shall name the Special Servicer as loss payee
and
shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without
contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice
of
any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in
coverage.
The
Special Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in
selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that
the
Special Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies are rated B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged
Property is located. The Special Servicer shall determine that such policies
provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property
owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Special
Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of
any
such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal
coverage by the expiration date.
Pursuant
to Section 3.04, any amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any
such
policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied
to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property
acquired in liquidation of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, or to be released
to
the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Special Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures as specified in Section 3.15) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.
Section
3.12 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In
the
event that the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
(a
"Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy") insuring against losses arising from
fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans,
then, to the extent such Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy provides coverage
in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.11 and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 3.11, it shall conclusively
be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.11. Any
amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any such Mortgage Impairment
Insurance Policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account or Escrow Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04
or
3.06. Such Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy may contain a deductible
clause,
in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on
the
related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.11, and there
shall
have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Special
Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss
the
amount not otherwise payable under such blanket policy because of such
deductible clause, such amount to deposited from the Servicer's funds, without
reimbursement therefor.
K-28
Section
3.13 Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Special Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense,
a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with
broad
coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity
requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating
to
the Transferred Mortgage Loans (“Special
Servicer Employees”).
Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be
in the
form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the
Special Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement,
fraud,
errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Special Servicer Employees.
Such
Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect
and
insure the Special Servicer against losses in connection with the release
or
satisfaction of a Transferred Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment
in
full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.13
requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall
diminish or relieve the Special 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 Xxxxxx
Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ &
Servicers’ Guide. Upon the request of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the
Special Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such party a certified true
copy
of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety
and
the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event
be
terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Master Servicer.
Section
3.14 Inspections.
The
Special Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed
necessary by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being
preserved. In addition, if any Transferred Mortgage Loan delinquent, the
Special
Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty
insurer. The Special Servicer shall keep a written report of each such
inspection.
Section
3.15 Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Special Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee 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, the Special Servicer shall comply with the following conditions
in
connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds:
K-29
(i)
the
Special Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of
completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
(ii)
the
Special 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
Special Servicer shall verify that the Transferred Mortgage Loan is not in
default; and
(iv)
pending
repairs or restoration, the Special Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds
or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
Section
3.16 Maintenance
of PMI and/or LPMI Policy; Claims.
(a) The
Special Servicer shall comply with all provisions of applicable state and
federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with
respect to, PMI Policies, including, but not limited to, the provisions of
the
Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations promulgated thereunder,
as amended from time to time. The Special Servicer shall be obligated to
make
premium payments with respect to (i) LPMI Policies, to the extent of the
LPMI
Fee set forth on the Transferred Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to any
LPMI
Loans, which shall be paid out of the interest portion of the related Monthly
Payment or, if a Monthly Payment is not made, from the Special Servicer’s own
funds and (ii) PMI Policies required to be maintained by the Mortgagor rather
than the Seller, if the Mortgagor is required but fails to pay any PMI Policy
premium, which shall be paid from the Special Servicer’s own funds. Any premium
payments made by the Special Servicer from its own funds pursuant to this
Section 3.16(a) shall be recoverable by the Special Servicer as a Servicing
Advance, subject to the reimbursement provisions of Section 3.04(iii).
With
respect to each Transferred Mortgage Loan (other than LPMI Loans) that has
a PMI
Policy in effect as of the Transfer Date, the Special Servicer shall maintain
or
cause the Mortgagor to maintain (to the extent that the Transferred Mortgage
Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) in full force and
effect
a PMI Policy, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium
thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Transferred Mortgage Loan
is
reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the
Special Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable
replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage
of
such terminated PMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. The Special
Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under
any
applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Special
Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption
or substitution agreements entered into or to be entered into with respect
to a
Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the
insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution
of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take
all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a
result
of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Special Servicer shall
obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
K-30
(b) With
respect to each Transferred Mortgage Loan covered by a PMI Policy or LPMI
Policy, the Special Servicer shall take all such actions on behalf of the
Trustee as are necessary to service, maintain and administer the related
Transferred Mortgage Loan in accordance with such Policy and to enforce the
rights under such Policy. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Special
Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the Trust Fund to do anything
it
deems appropriate or desirable in connection with the servicing, maintenance
and
administration of such Policy; provided
that
the Special Servicer shall not take any action to permit any modification
or
assumption of a Transferred Mortgage Loan covered by a LPMI or PMI Policy,
or
take any other action with respect to such Transferred Mortgage Loan, which
would result in non-coverage under such Policy of any loss which, but for
actions of any Special Servicer or the subservicer, would have been covered
thereunder. If the Qualified Insurer fails to pay a claim under a LPMI or
PMI
Policy solely as a result of a breach by the Special Servicer or subservicer
of
its obligations hereunder or under such Policy, the Special Servicer shall
be
required to deposit in the Custodial Account on or prior to the next succeeding
Remittance Date an amount equal to such unpaid claim from its own funds without
any rights to reimbursement from the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall
cooperate with the Qualified Insurers and shall furnish all reasonable evidence
and information in the possession of the Special Servicer to which the Special
Servicer has access with respect to the related Transferred Mortgage
Loan.
(c)
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Special Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the
Qualified Insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion
in
accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this
regard,
to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI
Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Transferred Mortgage Loan. Any
amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 3.03(xiv)
and
(xv), subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.04.
(d)
The
Trustee shall furnish the Special Servicer with any powers of attorney and
other
documents (within three (3) Business Days upon request from the Special
Servicer) in form as provided to it and at the Special Servicer’s expense
necessary or appropriate to enable the Special Servicer to service and
administer any PMI or LPMI Policy; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Special Servicer under
such
power of attorney.
(e)
The
Special Servicer shall deposit into the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.03(v) hereof all Insurance Proceeds received under the terms of a PMI Policy
or an LPMI Policy.
K-31
(f)
Notwithstanding
the provisions of (a) and (b) above, the Special Servicer shall not take
any
action in regard to any PMI Policy or LPMI 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.
Section
3.17 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, pursuant
to a limited power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H,
in the
name of the Trustee or its nominee (which in no event shall be the Special
Servicer) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 Special Servicer
(with a copy delivered to the Trustee) from any attorney duly licensed to
practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any such Opinion
of
Counsel will be deemed a Servicing Advance, reimbursable to the Special Servicer
in accordance with Section 3.04. 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.
The
Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
The
Special Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Special
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 Special 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 Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders.
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a
default
or imminent default on a Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special 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 Special Servicer
has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue
Service (and provide a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee)
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
and has notified the Master Servicer and the Trustee of such extension by
providing a copy of the application and the grant of such extension to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer. If the Special Servicer has received such
an
extension (and provided a copy of the same to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee), then the Special 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 Special Servicer has not
received such an extension and the Special Servicer is unable to sell the
REO
Property within the period ending three months before the end of such third
taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Special Servicer
has received such an extension, and the Special Servicer is unable to sell
the
REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Special 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 or (ii) auction the REO
Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special 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 reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, the Special
Servicer, or take any other action reasonably requested by the Special Servicer
which would enable the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to
request
such grant of extension. In
all cases, the disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Special
Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund.
K-32
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 Special Servicer has agreed to indemnify
and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
The
Special Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property,
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount
required above.
The
proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the
Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale
shall be paid and the Special Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Monthly
Advances made pursuant to this Section or Section 4.03 or the REO Disposition
Fee.
The
Special Servicer shall make advances of all funds necessary for the proper
operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
cost of
maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10, such advances
to be
reimbursed from the disposition or liquidation proceeds of the REO Property.
The
Special Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date
to the
Master Servicer of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal
the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this
Section 3.17 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to
be
maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such
expenses).
K-33
Section
3.18 Real
Estate Owned Reports.
Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 4.02, the Special Servicer
shall furnish to the Master Servicer on or before the Remittance Date in
each
month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation
of
such REO Property for the previous month and the Special 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 the Master Servicer shall
reasonably request.
Section
3.19 Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof
by the
Trust Fund pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Special Servicer
shall
submit to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a liquidation report with respect
to such Mortgaged Property. In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide
the
Master Servicer a report setting forth Servicing Advances and other expenses
incurred in connection with the liquidation of any Transferred Mortgage
Loan.
Section
3.20 Reports
of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
Following
the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Special
Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant
to
Section 6050J of the Code.
Section
3.21 Prepayment
Charges.
The
Special Servicer or any designee of the Special Servicer shall not waive
any
Prepayment Charge with respect to any Transferred Mortgage Loan which contains
a
Prepayment Charge which prepays during the term of the charge. If the Special
Servicer or its designee fails to collect the Prepayment Charge upon any
prepayment of any Transferred Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Charge
pursuant to the Transferred Mortgage Loan documents that are available to
the
Special Servicer for such Transferred Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer
shall
pay the Trust Fund at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an
amount
equal to the Prepayment Charge which was not collected. Notwithstanding the
above, the Special Servicer or its designee may waive a Prepayment Charge
without paying the Trust Fund the amount of the Prepayment Charge if (i)
the
Transferred Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more delinquent)
and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Transferred Mortgage
Loan or
(ii) if the prepayment is not a result of a refinance by the Special Servicer
or
any of its affiliates and (a) the Transferred Mortgage Loan is foreseen to
be in
default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into
account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Transferred Mortgage
Loan, (b) the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of
applicable laws or (c) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary,
a Prepayment Charge in any instance when a Transferred Mortgage Loan is in
foreclosure.
K-34
Section
3.22 Compliance
with Safeguarding Customer Information Requirements.
The
Special 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
Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Seller or the Master Servicer
information regarding such security measures upon the reasonable request
of the
Seller or the Master Servicer which information shall include, but not be
limited to, any Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 report covering
the
Special Servicer’s operations, and any other audit reports, summaries of test
results or equivalent measures taken by the Special Servicer with respect
to its
security measures to the extent reasonably necessary in order for the Seller
to
satisfy its obligations under the Guidelines.
Section
3.23 Reserved.
Section
3.24 Advance
Facility
(a) The
Special Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other
facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for
which complies with Section 3.24(c), under which (1) the Special Servicer
assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
or
all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may
be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a
“Lender”), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in
either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other
assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which
may
include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an “Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances
required to be made by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No
consent of the Master Servicer, Trustee, Certificateholders or any other
party
shall be required before the Special Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility
nor shall the Master Servicer, Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third
party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the
Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under
which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Monthly Advances and/or
Servicing Advances, (A) the Special Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant
to this Agreement to make Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant
to
and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such
obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance
Financing Person nor any Special Servicer’s Assignee (as hereinafter defined)
shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor
for
the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any
related Transferred Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor
under the related Transferred Mortgage Loan documents.
K-35
(b) If
the
Special Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Special Servicer and
the
related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee at their respective addresses set forth in Section 9.04 hereof a
written
notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance
Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the “Special Servicer’s
Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 3.24(c) hereof, have the right to make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof to
reimburse previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances
(“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall
consist solely of amounts in respect of Monthly Advances and/or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loans for which the
Special Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
Section 3.04 hereof, assuming the Special Servicer had made the related Monthly
Advances and/or Servicing Advances and (ii) shall not consist of amounts
payable
to a successor servicer in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof as provided
under
Section 3.24(d) below.
(c) Notwithstanding
the existence of an Advance Facility, the Special Servicer, on behalf of
the
Advance Financing Person, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of
Monthly
Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof,
which
entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to
a
written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee in the manner set forth
in
Section 9.04 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Special Servicer
shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance
Reimbursement Amounts and the Special Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have
the right to receive from the Custodial Account all Advance Reimbursement
Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i)
the
Special Servicer and the Special Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall only
be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from
withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof and
(ii)
none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the Certificateholders shall
be
entitled to receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Special
Servicer or the Special Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled
pursuant to this Section 3.24. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the
joint written direction of the Special Servicer and the related Advance
Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 9.04 hereof.
None of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any duty or liability
with
respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount,
nor
shall the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee have any responsibility
to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment
of
Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advance Financing Person. The Special
Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Trust Fund, any successor Special Servicer for any claim, loss, liability
or
damage resulting from (i) any claim by the related Advancing Financing Person
and (ii) any errors in Advance Reimbursement Amounts or other amounts withdrawn
from the Custodial Account by the Special Servicer’s Advance Financing Person,
except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage that resulted
from or arose out of gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct
on the
part of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or
any
successor Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Special Servicer shall
maintain and provide to any successor servicer and (upon request) the Master
Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan by loan basis as to amounts advanced
by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person.
The
successor servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided
by
the Special Servicer, and the successor special servicer shall not be liable
for
any errors in such information.
K-36
(d) As
between the Special Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one
hand,
and a successor servicer and its advance financing person, if any, on the
other
hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect
to each
Transferred Mortgage Loan as to which a Monthly Advance and/or a Servicing
Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a
“first-in, first out” basis. In the event the Special Servicer’s Assignee shall
have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Monthly
Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person in error, then
the
Special Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such
Advance Reimbursement Amount to each person entitled to such portion of such
Advance Reimbursement Amount. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify
the
Special Servicer’s Assignee upon becoming aware of any such erroneous receipt.
If the Special Servicer’s Assignee fails to reimburse any Person entitled to a
portion of any such Advance Reimbursement Amount within ten (10) days of
receiving notice of the erroneous payment, the Special Servicer shall promptly
so reimburse such Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the
Special Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing
Person for all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Special
Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not
been
assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or the Special Servicer’s
Assignee.
(e) With
respect to any certificate of a Servicing Officer of a successor servicer
delivered in connection with any Nonrecoverable Advance, such Nonrecoverable
Advance referred to therein may have been made by the Special Servicer or
a
successor servicer. In making its determination that any Monthly Advance
or
Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the
successor servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination
regardless of whether such Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance shall have
been
made by the successor servicer or the Special Servicer.
(f) Any
amendment to this Section 3.24 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.24, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Seller, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer without the consent
of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or
the Trust Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees) of each of the parties in the preceding sentence of any such amendment
shall be borne solely by the Special Servicer. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances
financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any Advance
Facility are obligations owed to the Special Servicer payable only from cash
flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Monthly
Advances and Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund are not, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or be liable to repay any Monthly
Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by Advance Financing Person;
(ii)
the Special Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing
Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Monthly
Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) the Master Servicer
and
the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing agreement between the Special Servicer and
any
Advance Financing Person.

3.25 MERS.
(a) The
Special Servicer shall maintain in good standing its membership in MERS.
In
addition, the Special Servicer shall comply with all rules, policies and
procedures of MERS.
(b) With
respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall promptly notify MERS as to any transfer of beneficial ownership of
such
Mortgage Loans of which the Special Servicer has notice.
(c) With
respect to all MERS Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall notify MERS as to any transfer of servicing hereunder within 10 Business
Days of such transfer of servicing. The Special Servicer shall cooperate
with
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any successor Special Servicer to the
extent necessary to ensure that such transfer of servicing is appropriately
reflected on the MERS system.

(e) Not
later
than the tenth calendar day of each month (or if such calendar day is not

shall provide to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor notice
of
the occurrence of any material modifications, extensions or waivers of terms,
fees, penalties or payments relating to the Mortgage Loans during the related
Due Period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11)
of Regulation AB) 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.
Section
4.03 Monthly
Advances by Special Servicer.
On
the
Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Special Servicer
shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts
held
for future distribution, or both, an amount equal to all Monthly Payments
(with
interest adjusted to the Transferred Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which
were
due on the Transferred 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 Special Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on
or
before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such
Remittance Date shall be less than remittances to the Master Servicer required
to be made on such Remittance Date. The Special Servicer shall keep appropriate
records of such amounts and will provide such records to the Master Servicer
upon request.
The
Special Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any
Transferred Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment
due
prior to the payment in full of the Transferred Mortgage Loan, or through
the
last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of
all
Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Transferred
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.03 to the contrary,
the Special Servicer’s obligation to make Monthly Advances on the Transferred
Mortgage Loans in the aggregate for a Remittance Date shall be reduced by
any
Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts reimbursed to the Servicer during the
related Due Period.
Section
4.04 Due
Dates Other Than the First of the Month.
Transferred
Mortgage Loans having Due Dates other than the first day of a month shall
be
accounted for as described in this Section 4.04. Any payment due on a day
other
than the first day of each month shall be considered due on the first day
of the
month following the month in which that payment is due as if such payment
were
due on the first day of said month. For example, a payment due on October
15
shall be considered to be due on October 1 of said month. Any payment collected
on a Transferred Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date shall be deposited
in the
Custodial Account. For Transferred Mortgage Loans with Due Dates on the first
day of a month, deposits to the Custodial Account begin with the payment
due on
the first of the month following the Cut-off Date.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
5.01 Transfers
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Special Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale”
provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption
by
the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold
whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not
the
Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note, to the extent
that the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
by
the Mortgagor, the Special Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge
of
such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such
Transferred Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto,
provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not exercise such rights
if
prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair
or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy,
if any.
If
the
Special Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to
enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Special Servicer shall enter into (i) an
assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property
has
been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event
the
Special Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original
Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Special Servicer
has the
prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of
liability agreement with the owner of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to
which
the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the owner of the Mortgaged
Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note.
If an assumption fee is collected by the Special Servicer for entering into
an
assumption agreement, such assumption fee shall be deemed to be Ancillary
Income. In connection with any assumption agreement entered into by the Special
Servicer, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage
Note,
the term of the Transferred Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount
of the Transferred Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
To
the extent that any Transferred Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Special Servicer
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage
lenders in the respective jurisdictions where the Mortgaged Property is
located.
Section
5.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
K-42
Upon
the
payment in full of any Transferred Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Special
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master
Servicer in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 4.02, and
may request the release of any Transferred Mortgage Loan Documents from the
Seller in accordance with this Section 5.02 hereof.
If
the Special Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should
the Special Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Seller, the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund may have under the mortgage instruments, the Special Servicer
shall deposit into the Custodial Account the entire outstanding principal
balance, plus all accrued interest on such Transferred Mortgage Loan, on
the day
preceding the Remittance Date in the month following the date of such release.
The Special Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 3.13 insuring the Special
Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Transferred
Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth
herein.
Section
5.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
consideration for servicing the Transferred Mortgage Loans subject to this
Agreement, the Special Servicer shall retain the relevant Servicing Fee for
each
Transferred Mortgage Loan remaining subject to this Agreement during any
month
or part thereof. Such Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly. Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained
by the
Special Servicer and is not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.
The Servicing Fee is payable solely from, the interest portion (including
recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds) of such Monthly
Payment collected by the Special Servicer. The aggregate Servicing Fees for
any
month with respect to the Transferred Mortgage Loans shall be reduced by
the
aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount for such month. The Special
Servicer shall be obligated to pay the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall
Amount for any month up to a maximum of the aggregate Servicing Fees for
such
month. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unpaid Servicing
Fee 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 3.17.
The
Special 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
5.04 Report
on Attestation of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
On
or before March 1st of each calendar year, beginning with March 1, 2009,
the
Special Servicer shall, at its own expense, cause a firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Special Servicer),
which
is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to
furnish to the Seller, the Trustee and the Master Servicer (i) year-end audited
(if available) financial statements of the Special Servicer and (ii) a report
to
the effect that such firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
made
by such asserting party pursuant to Section 5.06 below, which report shall
be
made in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In addition, on or before
March 1st of each calendar year, beginning with March 1, 2009, the Special
Servicer shall, at its own expense, furnish to the Seller, the Trustee, the
Depositor and Master Servicer a report meeting the requirements of clause
(ii)
above regarding the attestation of any (x) Subservicer or (y) Subcontractor
which is “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item
1122 of Regulation AB (each, without respect to any threshold limitations
in
Instruction 2. to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, a “Participating Entity”) and for
which the Special Servicer does not elect to take responsibility for assessing
compliance with the servicing criteria in accordance with Regulation AB
Telephone Interpretation 17.06.
K-43
Section
5.05 Annual
Officer’s Certificate.
(a) On
or
before March 1st of each year, beginning with March 1, 2009, the Special
Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Seller, the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Master Servicer with respect to the period ending on the
immediately preceding December 31, a Servicing Officer’s certificate in the form
of Exhibit L hereto, stating, as to each signer thereof, that (1) a review
of
the activities of the Special Servicer during such preceding calendar year
or
portion thereof and of its performance under this Agreement for such period
has
been made under such Servicing Officer’s supervision and (2) to the best of such
officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Special Servicer has fulfilled
all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout
such year (or applicable portion thereof), or, if there has been a failure
to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying
each such failure known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status
thereof, including the steps being taken by the Special Servicer to remedy
such
default.
(b) For
so
long as a certificate under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended,
(“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”) is required to be given on behalf of the Trust Fund, a
Servicing Officer shall, using its best reasonable efforts, on or before
March
1st but in no event later than March 15th,
(or if
not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) of each calendar
year, beginning in 2009, execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the
Sarbanes Certifying Party for the benefit of the Trust Fund and such Sarbanes
Certifying Party, its officers, directors and affiliates, in the form of
Exhibit
G hereto.
(c) The
Special Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors,
agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other
costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Special Servicer
or
any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under
this Section 5.05 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Special Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided
for
herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer
and/or the Depositor, then the Special Servicer agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer and/or the Depositor
as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer
and/or the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Master Servicer and/or the Depositor on the one hand
and
the Special Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Special
Servicer’s obligations under this Section 5.03 or the Special Servicer’s
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith.

Costs that the Special Servicer may sustain in connection with any legal
action
relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the origination or Servicing
of
the Mortgage Loans by any prior owner or special servicer, other than any
Costs
incurred by reason of the Special Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or

In
the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as

of
the Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the Special Servicer hereunder,

provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an

which

standing.
Section
7.02 Limitation
on Liability of the Special Servicer and Others.
Neither
the Special Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of
the Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer,
the
Depositor or the Trustee 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 Special
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 Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of
the Special 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 Special 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 Transferred Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability,
provided, however, that the Special Servicer may undertake any such action
which
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Special Servicer shall
be
entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the reasonable legal expenses
and costs of such action.
Section
7.03 Limitation
on Resignation and Assignment by the Special Servicer.
This
Agreement has been entered into with the Special Servicer in reliance upon
the
independent status of the Special 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, except as expressly provided in this Section 7.03 and Sections
3.24,
7.01 and 9.13, the Special Servicer shall neither assign its rights under
this
Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or
any
portion thereof; provided, that, in each case that the Special Servicer
transfers the servicing hereunder (other than a transfer of servicing caused
by
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificateholders) or
the
Special Servicer or disposes of all or substantially all of its property
or
assets, there must be delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer 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.
K-52
The
Special Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed
on it except by mutual consent of the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer
or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Special
Servicer, or as may be permitted pursuant to Section 9.13(b)(i). Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Special Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form
and
substance reasonably acceptable to each of them. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Special Servicer’s
responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section
8.01.
Without
in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that
the
Special 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, except to the extent permitted by and in accordance with this
Section
7.03 and Sections 3.20, 7.01 and 9.13, without the prior written consent
of the
Seller and Master Servicer, 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
Special Servicer or any third party.
Section
7.04 Subservicing
Agreements and Successor Subservicer.
(a) The
Special Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any
Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Special Servicer as
special
servicer under this Agreement unless the Special 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 and (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. The Special 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 Special Servicer
as
special servicer under this Agreement unless the Special Servicer complies
with
the provisions of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.04.
(b) The
Special Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor of the appointment of any Subservicer and shall
furnish to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and the Depositor a copy of
any
related subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Special
Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans immediately
upon receipt by any Subservicer of such payments. Each subservicing agreement
shall provide that a successor Special Servicer shall have the option to
terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the predecessor Special
Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Special Servicer shall cause any
Subservicer used by the Special Servicer (or by any Subservicer) to comply
with
the provisions of this Section 7.04 and with Sections 4.02(d), 5.04, 5.05(a),
5.05(b), 5.06, 6.01(j) and 6.03 and Exhibit J of this Agreement to the same
extent as if such Subservicer were the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer
shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to
the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor any special servicer compliance
statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 5.05(a),
any reports on assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered
by such Subservicer under Sections 5.04 and 5.06 and any certification required
to be delivered under 5.05(b) to the Person that will be responsible for
signing
the Sarbanes Certification under Section 5.06 as and when required to be
delivered hereunder.
K-53
(c) The
Special Servicer shall give prior written notice to the Master Servicer 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 Special 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
for which the Special Servicer does not elect to take responsibility for
assessing compliance with the servicing criteria in accordance with Regulation
AB Telephone Interpretation 17.06 identified pursuant to clause (B) of this
paragraph.
As
a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a
Participating Entity, the Special Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor
used by the Special Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply with the provisions
of
Sections 4.02(d), 5.04, 5.06, 6.01(j) and 6.03 and Exhibit J of this Agreement
to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Special Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor
for
which the Special Servicer does not elect to take responsibility for assessing
compliance with the servicing criteria in accordance with Regulation AB
Telephone Interpretation 17.06 and delivering to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required
to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections 5.04 and 5.06, in each
case
as and when required to be delivered.
The
Special 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 a Participating
Entity on the basis of the aggregate balance of such mortgage loans, without
regard to whether such Subservicer or Subcontractor would be a Participating
Entity with respect to the Mortgage Loans viewed in isolation. The Special
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
5.06.
Notwithstanding
any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Special 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 Special
Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer 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 Special Servicer
alone were servicing the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to compliance
with Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to
enter
into any agreement with a Subservicer, Subcontractor or a third party for
indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Subservicer, Subcontractor
or
third party and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or
modify such indemnification.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
K-57
Section
9.01 Successor
to the Special Servicer.
Simultaneously
with the termination of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under
this Agreement (a) pursuant to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.01 or 8.02, the Master
Servicer shall (i) within 90 days of the Special Servicer’s notice of such
termination, succeed to and assume all of the Special Servicer’s
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, 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 Special Servicer under this
Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Special Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor
to
the Special Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer.
Any approval of a successor servicer by the Master Servicer and, to the extent
required by the Trust Agreement, the Trustee, shall, if the successor servicer
is not at that time a servicer of other Transferred Mortgage Loans for the
Trust
Fund, be conditioned upon the receipt by the Master Servicer, the Seller
and the
Trustee 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. 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 Transferred Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree,
provided,
however, that
no
such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee permitted under
this
Agreement. In the event that the Special Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and
liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned sections, the Special 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 Special Servicer
pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until
a
successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.01 and shall in no
event
relieve the Special Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant
to Sections 6.01 and the remedies available to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and the Seller under Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04, it being understood and
agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 shall
be
applicable to the Special Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or
termination of the Special Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
Neither the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor servicer, nor any
other successor servicer shall be responsible for the lack of information
and/or
documents that are not transferred to it by the Special Servicer and that
it
cannot otherwise obtain through reasonable efforts.
Within
a
reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the
appointment of a successor entity, the Special 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
any
Mortgage Notes and the related documents. The Special Servicer shall cooperate
with the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, and such
successor in effecting the termination of the Special 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 Special Servicer to the Custodial Account
or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Transferred
Mortgage Loans.

Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Seller an
instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make
the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 and provide for
the
same remedies set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 herein and (ii) an
assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and condition to be performed and observed by the Special Servicer under
this
Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of
the
Special Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Special 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 Master Servicer or the Trustee may have against
the Special Servicer arising out of the Special Servicer’s actions or failure to
act prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Special Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds
in
the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Transferred Mortgage Loan
documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the
Special 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 Special
Servicer.
Upon
a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, it shall notify the Trustee,
the Seller and Master Servicer and the Depositor of such appointment in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.04.
Section
9.02 Costs.
The
Seller shall pay any commissions due its salesmen and the legal fees and
expenses of its attorneys. Costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the
transfer of the servicing responsibilities, including fees for delivering
Servicing Files, shall be paid by (i) the terminated or resigning servicer
if
such termination or resignation is a result of an occurrence of a termination
event under Section 8.01 and (ii) in all other cases by the Trust Fund. Subject
to Section 2.03, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, shall pay the costs
associated with the preparation, delivery and recording of Assignments of
Mortgages.
Section
9.03 Protection
of Confidential Information.
The
Special Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party,
