ARTICLE III

SERVICING

Section 2.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

From and after the date of this Agreement and each Servicing Transfer Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the related group of Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall only modify Mortgage Loans in accordance with Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and in the best interests of the Owner.

From and after the date of this Agreement, Servicer shall assume responsibility under this Agreement to subservice and administer additional Mortgage Loans upon the delivery, generally in accordance with the Transfer Instructions, of the related New Loan Data File and all related Mortgage Loan documentation by or on behalf of Owner (including deliveries by the applicable prior servicer pursuant to directions by Owner) provided that any new Mortgage Loans that Owner desires to make subject to this Agreement meet the Eligibility Criteria then in effect, and further provided that Servicer shall not be required to accept any bulk transfer of Mortgage Loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance greater than $3,500,000,000.00 (three billion five hundred million dollars), unless Owner provides at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to Servicer. Owner shall provide or cause to be provided by the applicable prior servicer, the New Loan Data File for each Mortgage Loan to Servicer promptly upon purchase or origination of the Mortgage Loan by Owner. Owner will provide Servicer with the New Loan Data File for each Mortgage Loan no less than five (5) Business Days before Servicer is expected to perform subservicing on that Mortgage Loan. Owner shall notify Servicer within two (2) Business Days, in writing, of any changes in the information contained in the New Loan Data File. Owner agrees to provide Servicer, within two (2) Business Days after Servicer’s request, copies of the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage or any other documents Owner

has with respect to a Mortgage Loan that Servicer deems reasonably necessary in connection with its performance of the Servicing of said Mortgage Loan.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices except and to the extent that such practices conflict with the requirements of this Agreement. The Servicer shall retain adequate personnel to affect such servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

Owner and Servicer acknowledge and agree that the Servicer provides a service for the Owner for a fee and that the Servicer is not the owner of the servicing rights or the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage is in Default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, a Default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, capitalize any past due amounts owed under the Mortgage Loan by adding amounts in arrearage to the existing Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan (but only if the CLTV of such Mortgage Loan prior to such capitalization equals or exceeds 80%, or waive, in whole or in part, a prepayment penalty), waive a late payment fee, accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the unpaid principal balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term, otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, or any combination of the foregoing (any and all such waivers, modifications, payment plans, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “Forbearance”) if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such Forbearance is in the best interests of the Owner. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any Forbearance and the conclusion that any Forbearance meets the standards of this section shall be reflected as appropriate in the Servicer’s records.

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 Owner, all instruments and documents necessary to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement including but not limited to instruments in connection with foreclosures; satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Within five (5) Business Days after request by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit 11 hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Owner shall pay Servicer eighteen dollars ($18.00) for every loan, except for Mortgage Loans registered with MERS, that requires the Servicer to file a power of attorney to execute a payoff.

The Servicer’s computer system shall clearly reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement or at the written direction of the Owner.

With respect to the performance of any service required to be provided for Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the obtainment of credit report data, the provision of field or other inspections, the provision of title-related services, and the sale or management of REO properties, the Servicer may obtain such services from an Affiliate if such services are provided on a commercially reasonable basis with respect to the price and quality of such services.

The Owner shall have the right at any time to transfer (i) one or more Mortgage Loans without assigning this Agreement to a successor Owner or (ii) the servicing with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans. In connection with any such transfer, the terms of this Agreement shall no longer govern the servicing of such Mortgage Loans from and after the related Transfer Out Date and Section 6.01(b) shall apply to any such transfer. Owner shall pay Servicer the shipping costs and any extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses associated with the transfer of such Mortgage Loan(s) transferred.

Section 2.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and which Servicer reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Owner (including, with respect to each Second Lien Loan, in the case of any default on a related senior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default). In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period (or such other period as is required by law in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located) or earlier as determined by the Servicer, the Servicer shall cause a Foreclosure Commencement in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure or towards the correction of any default on the related senior mortgage loan will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

With respect to any Second Lien Loan, if the Servicer determines that no significant recovery is possible through foreclosure or other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property related to a Second Lien Loan for which the payments due thereon are past due, it shall charge off the related Second Lien Loan (each such Second Lien Loan, a “Charged-off Mortgage Loan”) at such time as such Second Lien Loan becomes 180 days past due. Once a Second Lien Loan becomes a Charged-off Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall discontinue making Servicing Advances, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any additional servicing compensation, and the

Servicer shall follow the procedures set forth in this paragraph. Any Charged-Off Mortgage Loans shall continue to be serviced by Servicer for the Owner using non-foreclosure collection procedures. The Servicer shall not be entitled to any Servicing Fees or reimbursement of expenses in connection with such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans except to the extent of funds available from the aggregate amount of recoveries on such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans which shall be paid to the Servicer to reimburse it for previously accrued Servicing Fees on any such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans. Any recoveries on such Charged-Off Mortgage Loans (net of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees) will be treated as Liquidation Proceeds.

The Servicer shall promptly obtain a BPO for any Mortgage Loan that is more than 90 days delinquent and shall continue to obtain a BPO no less than every six months thereafter with respect to any Mortgage Loan that continues to be delinquent. The results of any BPO shall be communicated to the Owner via a monthly report in mutually agreed upon format.

The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that it shall take and initiate any legal actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans and REO Properties with the consent of the Owner, including, without limitation, any foreclosure actions, acceptance of deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, short-sales, short refinancings or taking of an unsecured note in connection with a negotiated release of the lien of the Mortgage in order to facilitate a settlement with the related Mortgagor and any collection actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans or REO Properties on behalf of the Owner, but only in the name of the Servicer and without reference to the Owner. Except as otherwise required by law or with the consent of the Owner, under no circumstances shall any such action be taken in the name of, or with any reference to, the Owner. The Servicer shall provide prior written notice to the Owner if the Servicer is required by applicable law to take any legal actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan or REO Properties in the name of, or with reference to, the Owner. Owner agrees to provide all the documentation, appropriately recorded, if applicable, necessary for Servicer to initiate legal actions in its own name. Owner agrees to reimburse Servicer for any costs or expenses associated with assigning Mortgage Loans to Servicer or MERS as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) all actions must be approved by the Owner relating to any Mortgaged Property that is determined to be contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b), in connection with a 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 Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector the Servicer shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be so inspected at the Owner’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property; provided, that Servicer may determine in its sole discretion that it will not proceed with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to a Mortgaged Property that has been determined to be contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and with respect to which Servicer would be expected to take title in its own name. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged .

Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Owner directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof. In the event the Owner directs the Servicer not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is collateralized by a Mortgaged Property and the Servicer is not proceeding to liquidation as a result of environmental contamination, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for its Servicing Advances from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof.

Section 2.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Following the date of this Agreement, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments, to the extent applicable, and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the extent that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, collection of payments hereunder shall be consistent with the standard collection practices relating to such type of Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC and/or subsequent Owners, and various Mortgagors, re: Fixed and Adjustable Rate Residential Mortgage Loans”.

any mortgage loan senior to such Second Lien Loan, provided that such aggregate amount represents at least 80% of the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each First Lien Loan is, and shall continue to be, covered by 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 acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the First Lien Loan, (ii) maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (regardless of whether the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program), and (iii) the full replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property. If 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 National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 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 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 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 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.

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

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each REO Property to be insured against risks, hazards and liabilities, in an amount with respect to hazards which is at least equal to the full replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such REO Property and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner with respect to Liabilities in connection therewith in an amount of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

In the event that the Owner or the 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 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 Servicer and its successors and assigns as a mortgagee and loss payee and shall be endorsed with non contributory standard or

New York mortgagee clauses which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts as required pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in conformance with Servicer’s standard practices; provided, however, that in the event that no such notice is furnished by the Servicer, the Servicer shall ensure that replacement insurance policies (whether forced placed or other insurance policies) are in place with the required coverage and the Servicer shall be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.

Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in a suspense account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the First Lien Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 2.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.

With respect to each Second Lien Loan, the Servicer shall obtain and maintain the blanket hazard insurance policy described in Section 2.11.

In the event a hazard insurance policy or a flood insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the related Mortgagor must obtain hazard insurance coverage or flood insurance coverage, and if such Mortgagor fails to obtain the required hazard insurance or flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required hazard insurance or flood insurance on such Mortgagor’s behalf, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Servicer shall notify any successor Servicer and such Mortgagor, and such successor Servicer shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy or flood insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy.

Section 2.11 Maintenance of Blanket Hazard Insurance Coverage.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 2.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 2.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 2.10. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a

Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05. Such 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 2.10, 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 the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 2.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The 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 Mortgage Loans (“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 Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 2.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain minimum coverage amounts under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

Section 2.13 Inspections.

The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as is deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved; provided that, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Servicer shall immediately inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections as often as is deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided further that if the Servicer determines that any Mortgage Property is vacant, the Servicer shall immediately inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections every 25 to 35 days to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner 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 in the same locality as the REO property is located.

The Servicer shall notify the Owner from time to time as to the status of each REO Property.

The Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Owner to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the

foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an 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 National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required in Section 2.10 hereof.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related 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 the Monthly Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly upon written request thereof, deliver to the Owner any applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments.

In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall attempt to obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. 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 agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement, 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.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan covered by a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, the Servicer shall take all such actions on behalf of the Owner as are necessary to service, maintain and administer the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with such Policy and to enforce the rights under such Policy. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Servicer shall have full authority on behalf of the Owner to do anything it deems appropriate or desirable in connection with the servicing, maintenance and administration of such Policy; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action to permit any modification or assumption of a Mortgage Loan covered by a LPMI or PMI Policy, or take any other action with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which would result in non-coverage under such Policy of any loss which, but for actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall cooperate with the PMI insurers and shall furnish all reasonable evidence and information in the possession of the Servicer to which the Servicer has access with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.

If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Buydown Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Servicer or the insurer under any related PMI Policy) the Servicer shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Owner all remaining Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Buydown Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Owner in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan.

If a Principal Prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Buydown Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a Principal Prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall distribute to the Owner on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Buydown Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall validate prior adjustments with respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan within 30 days of such Mortgage Loan being serviced under this Agreement.

The Servicer shall execute and deliver all appropriate notices required by the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and all applicable laws regarding such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments and Monthly Payment adjustments. Upon request by the Owner, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner, within five Business Days, or as reasonably agreed by the Owner upon request of Servicer, copies of such adjustment notifications, and shall

describe with particularity the values and methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments.

If Servicer fails to make a timely and correct Mortgage Interest Rate adjustment or Monthly Payment adjustment, the Servicer shall (a) deposit in the Custodial Account out of its own funds any amounts necessary to satisfy any shortage in the Mortgagor’s Monthly Payment for so long as such shortage continues, or (b) reimburse the Mortgagor out of its own funds any amounts necessary to satisfy any overage in the Mortgagor’s Monthly Payment for so long as such overage lasted.

In the event the Index, as specified in the related Mortgage Note, becomes unavailable for any reason, the Servicer shall select an alternative index in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note and provide written notice to the Owner of such alternative index, and such alternative index shall thereafter be the Index for such Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer is otherwise directed by the Owner to select a specified index in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall use any alternative index as specified by the Owner so long as such index is in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Servicer shall be solely responsible for the direct and indirect internal and administrative costs associated with its obligations as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, said costs to include but not be limited to: personnel, facilities; supplies; mailing and computer system expenses, regardless of whether Servicer elects to contract with third party vendors to perform all or any portion of such internal and administrative functions.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.26, any Litigation related solely to a single Mortgage Loan (other than Litigation between or among the Owner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Servicer and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand) shall be

managed by the Servicer or its counsel on behalf of the Owner, including foreclosure, evictions, quiet title and bankruptcy filings, at the Servicer’s expense with respect to administration of such Litigation (excluding third-party costs for which the Owner shall remain responsible), unless the Owner shall elect otherwise with respect to any particular Litigation(s), in which case the Owner shall manage and administer such Litigation(s) on behalf of the Owner or any of its Affiliates.

The Servicer shall be required 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.

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 guarantee insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, such fee will be retained by the Servicer

as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices including but not limited to Servicer conducting a review of the credit and financial capacity of the individual receiving the property, and may approve the assumption if it believes the recipient is capable of assuming the mortgage obligations. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not satisfy the relevant underwriting criteria and the transfer of ownership actually occurs, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Owner in accordance with this Section 4.02 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain discharge of the related Mortgage Loan as of record within any related time limit required by applicable law; provided that the Owner has provided, or caused to be provided, all necessary documents requested by the Servicer.

From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall submit a request for release of documents and provide a receipt to the Custodian for the originals of any documents set forth in such request for release. The Servicer shall forward a copy of any such request for release to the Owner. The Servicer shall return any document released by the Custodian pursuant to the request for release.

All original documents released to Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be held by Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner. The Servicer shall return to the Custodian the original documents they received from the Custodian when the Servicer’s need therefore in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated. In such a case, upon receipt of an additional request for release certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Custodian, the Servicer’s request for release submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.02 shall be released by the Custodian to the Servicer, with a copy to the Owner.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (or such lesser amount in connection with a discounted payoff accepted by the Servicer with respect to a defaulted Mortgage Loan) or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, if Servicer is unable to reasonably demonstrate that it will be able to cause the amount of the unpaid indebtedness to be reinstated and secured under the related Mortgage, or if the Mortgagor becomes thirty (30) or more days delinquent following such erroneous release, regardless of Servicer’s ability to obtain reinstatement, upon the Servicer’s receiving knowledge of such an event or upon written demand of the Owner, whichever is

earlier, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of any shortfall thereof in the Custodial Account within 5 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Owner. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any reimbursement received from a Mortgagor in connection with such shortfall in the event the Servicer has previously reimbursed the Owner for such. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.12 insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

The Servicer shall be entitled to all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees upon the termination of its servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, 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 without the prior written consent of the Owner (other than to an Affiliate as permitted by this Section 8.03) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without providing 90 days written notice to the

Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 6.01 hereof, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may at any time upon notice to the Owner, or trustee in the case of a Reconstitution, and without the consent of any party, solely in connection with a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), assign as collateral security or pledge to another Person all its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights and its rights to reimbursement of Servicing Advances.

Except as provided for in Section 6.01 of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it.

Section 8.04 Operation of Indemnities.

If any Person has made any indemnity payments to any other Person pursuant to this Article VIII and such other Person thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such other Person will repay such amounts collected, together with any interest collected thereon. The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive any termination of this Agreement, the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan, or the transfer or assignment by the Owner to another Person of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property or any interest in any Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

Section 8.05 Assignment by Owner.

The Owner shall have the right, without the consent of the Servicer, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, and designate any Person to exercise any rights of the Owner hereunder, by executing an assignment and assumption agreement.

Upon such assignment of rights and assumption of obligations, the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Owner with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the Owner as assignor shall be released from all obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans from and after the date of such assignment and assumption (except that Articles VI, VIII, IX and X and Sections 13.01, 13.05, 13.11, 13.14 and 13.15 shall survive such transfer). All references to the Owner in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its permitted assignee or designee.

Section 8.06 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall 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.

Section 10.04 Ability to Service.

The Servicer has the facilities, procedures, and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Litigation.

The following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement on the part of the Servicer:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which notice of such failure is given to the Servicer, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

(b) the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days other than with respect to any reporting requirements hereunder, which such period shall be five (5) days (including without limitation pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.05 and the last paragraph of Section 13.14), after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner (the date of delivery of such notice, the “Notice Date”) or the date on which the Servicer becomes aware of such failure, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date, the cure period may be

(c) 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, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, 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 thirty (30) days; or

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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

(e) 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 or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(f) the Servicer fails to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Properties are located which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving actual notice of such failure and such failure has a material and adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement; or

(g) the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of either a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac servicer or of HUD, which status continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days;

(h) other than as provided in Section 8.03 herein, the Servicer assigns its rights to Servicing Compensation hereunder or the Servicer sells or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or assigns this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegates its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(i) the Servicer fails to maintain servicer ratings of at least “Average” from Standard & Poor’s and “RPS2-“ from Fitch.

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever rights the Owner may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer, may terminate without compensation all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans 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 the successor appointed pursuant to Section 6.02. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other

instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Owner 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, the Buydown Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 11.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Owner may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such 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.

(a) Waive compliance with any of the terms, conditions or covenants required to be complied with by the others hereunder; or

(b) Waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the others hereunder.

The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other subsequent breach.

Section 13.03 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

This Agreement, including all documents and exhibits incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to servicing of the Mortgage Loans. This Agreement may be amended and any provision hereof waived, but, only in writing signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought.

Section 13.04 Execution; Binding Effect.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Subject to Sections 8.03 and 8.04, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Servicer and the Owner and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 13.05 Confidentiality of Information.

The Servicer and the Owner each agree that any information and documents that are furnished for the purposes of performing under this Agreement or that are produced or are otherwise furnished to or come to the attention of either party are proprietary and shall be used only for the purposes of this Agreement. This information includes the terms of this Agreement, technical specifications and operating manuals, services and information concerning current, future, or proposed products and services and combinations of products and services; product and services descriptions; financial information; information related to mergers or acquisitions; passwords and security procedures; computer programs, loan servicing systems, software, and software documentation; customer and/or prospective client lists , mortgage loan files, and all other information relating in any way to the customer and/or prospective client; printouts; records; policies, practices and procedures; and any or all other information, data or materials relating to the business, trade secrets and technology of either party, its customers, clients, employees, business affairs, affiliates, subsidiaries and the affiliates of its parent organization (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”).

Each party shall maintain the Confidential Information of the other in confidence using the same care and discretion to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential information that it does not want disclosed, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. Each party further agrees to (a) restrict disclosure of Confidential Information of the disclosing party solely to persons who need to know the Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement, (b) not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third party or copy Confidential Information without written approval of the disclosing party,

and (c) inform those third parties and other persons who receive Confidential Information of its confidential nature and obtain their agreement to abide by the obligations set forth herein.

The obligations imposed under this Agreement shall not apply to Confidential Information that is (a) made public by the party whose Confidential Information is disclosed, (b) generally available to the public other than by a breach of this Agreement by the receiving party, its employees or agents, or (c) rightfully received from a third person having the legal right to disclose the Confidential Information free of any obligation of confidence, nor shall the section be deemed to prohibit any disclosure by a party that is necessary or appropriate in such party’s work with legal counsel, accountants, auditor or as required by applicable law or regulation. In the event that the receiving party, or any of such party’s agents or employees, becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, such receiving party shall provide prompt prior notice to the disclosing party so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the disclosing party waives compliance with the provisions of this section the receiving party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which in the judgment of its counsel is legally required and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this section by the other party will result in immediate and irreparable harm and that any remedies at law in such event will be inadequate. The parties agree that such breaches, whether threatened or actual, will give the disclosing party the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain such disclosure or use. This right shall, however, be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies at law or in equity.

Upon termination of the Agreement, all copies of the Confidential Information will either be destroyed or returned to the disclosing party immediately upon such party’s request. Each party agrees that it will not retain any copy, summary or extract of the Confidential Information or any related work papers on any storage medium whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Servicer shall in no event have any obligation hereunder to destroy Mortgage Loan files or any documents related thereto.

Headings of the Articles and Sections in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed to have any substantive effect.

Section 13.07 Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO

CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.

Section 13.08 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties. The duties and responsibilities of the Servicer shall be rendered by it as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Owner. The Servicer shall have full control of all of its acts, doings, proceedings, relating to or requisite in connection with the discharge of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

Section 13.09 Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 13.10 Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Owner or the Owner’s designee.

Section 13.11 Exhibits.

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are integral parts of this Agreement.

Section 13.12 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 13.13 No Solicitation.

From and after the date hereof, neither the Servicer nor any Affiliate of the Servicer shall solicit the Mortgagors for purposes of prepayment or refinance or modification of the Mortgage Loans, except as otherwise provided herein. Nothing in this Section 13.13 shall prohibit the Servicer from generalized advertising, including on its website, monthly account statements which are not targeted exclusively at the Mortgagors, or VRU (i.e. voice response unit) recorded communications or otherwise engaging in a program directed to the general public at large to encourage or recommend mortgage loan products and other products and services provided by the Servicer or such Affiliate or from taking applications for refinance from

Mortgagors as a result therefrom. Servicer may solicit the Mortgagors for non-mortgage loan products with the consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 13.14 Cooperation of Servicer with a Reconstitution.

The Servicer and the Owner agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect either:

(1) one or more Whole Loan Transfers;

(2) one or more Securitization Transactions;

(3) one or more Whole Loan Transfers to Xxxxxx Mae under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program (Special Servicing Option); or

(4) one or more Whole Loan Transfers to Xxxxxxx Mac.

The Servicer and the Owner acknowledge and agree that the Servicer is not obligated hereunder to act as servicer in any Reconstitution and the Owner is not obligated hereunder to offer the Servicer the opportunity to act as servicer in any Reconstitution.

The Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner in connection with any Reconstitution contemplated by the Owner pursuant to this Section 13.14, provided, however, that under no circumstances and in no event shall such cooperation include any act of the Servicer or any event affecting the Servicer which would materially increase the Servicer’s liabilities or obligations beyond those liabilities and obligations contained in this Agreement (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 13.14).

In connection with any Reconstitution in which the Owner and the Servicer have agreed that the Servicer shall act as the servicer in the Reconstitution, the Owner shall deliver any agreement (the “Reconstitution Agreement”) or other document related to the Reconstitution to the Servicer at least fifteen (15) days prior to such transfer; the Servicer’s refusal to cooperate with Owner based on late delivery of such documents shall result in no liability to the Servicer. Such Reconstitution Agreement may, in the Owner’s discretion, contain contractual provisions not set forth in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) customary certificate payment delays, (ii) representations and warranties (dated as of the Reconstitution Date) of the Servicer conforming in all material respects to the representations and warranties in this Agreement, as well as such reasonable and customary additional representations and warranties as may be required by the master servicer or issuer, provided that Servicer may negotiate the terms of any such additional representations and warranties, and (iii) such provisions with regard to servicing responsibilities, investor reporting, segregation and deposit of principal and interest payments, custody of the Mortgage Loans, and other provisions that conform to secondary market standards for mortgage-backed securities backed by mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans or as may be required by one or more Rating Agencies. The Servicer shall promptly review such Reconstitution Agreement and/or related documents, and provided that such Reconstitution Agreement contains servicing provisions substantially similar to those herein, or otherwise acceptable to the Servicer in its reasonable discretion, shall execute such Reconstitution Agreement and/or related documents. The Servicer’s refusal to execute any Reconstitution

Agreement or related documents may be based on any provision which materially (a) increases the liability of the Servicer and/or (b) affects Servicer’s profitability from that contemplated in this Agreement, unless the Servicer and the Owner have come to previous agreement on terms with respect to substantially similar issues. The Owner hereby agrees to pay the Servicer for reasonable expenses incurred by the Servicer that relate to reviewing and commenting on the Reconstitution Agreement for such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction in accordance with the related term sheet. Any cooperation from the Servicer in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction contemplated by this Section 13.14 shall include delivery of a legal opinion relating to the Servicer acceptable to the Owner, the furnishing of information for use in an offering document for such Securitization Transaction relating to the Servicer (the “Servicer Information”).

If requested by the Owner in connection with any Reconstitution, the Servicer and the Owner shall execute an indemnification agreement setting forth their respective indemnification obligations in connection therewith. In the event that the Servicer is not the master servicer, servicer or sub-servicer with respect to a Reconstitution, any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Servicer in connection with the foregoing shall be reimbursed by Owner after receipt of an invoice therefor. Any execution of a subservicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement by the Servicer shall be conditioned on the Servicer receiving the Securitization Servicing Fee or such other servicing fee acceptable to Servicer. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer is the master servicer, servicer or sub-servicer with respect to a Reconstitution, the Owner agrees that in such Reconstitution any servicing performance termination triggers (in its reasonable discretion) shall be approved by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion; provided, that in the event that the Servicer does not approve any servicing performance termination triggers, the Owner shall, with respect to the Reconstitution, have the right to terminate the Servicer hereunder (a “Servicing Performance Trigger Termination”) and designate a successor servicer to act as master servicer, servicer or sub-servicer.

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

Section 13.15 Waiver of Trial by Jury.

THE SERVICER AND THE OWNER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 13.16 LIMITATION OF DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN

CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH LIMITATION SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS MADE AGAINST A PARTY.

Section 13.17 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.

The Servicer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

ARTICLE XIV

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 14.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

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

Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance

provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide any information that either the Owner or Depositor deem required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not believe that such information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such information for securitizations on its own Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (or any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of any of its Affiliates relating to the same asset type) unless either the Owner or Depositor pays all reasonable incremental costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such information. The Servicer shall deliver any such information within 15 days of such written request, if such information is quantitative information set forth on, or which may be derived from, information in the Servicer's databases, or otherwise within a commercially reasonable time taking into account the time required to implement the necessary systems and procedures to produce such information.

An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section 14.05(a)(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.06.

Section 14.06 Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 14.07, the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner, any 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 such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization 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.

(ii) Subject to 14.07(c), any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 14.04 or 14.05, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 14.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner, any master servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(iii) The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

(c) In the event that the Servicer fails to timely comply with this Section 14, the Owner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written statements or assurances from the Commission, that such failure to provide the required statement of compliance on a timely basis, and a one time additional failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 14, will not result in any adverse effect on the Owner or its affiliates with respect to any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of the Owner or any of its affiliates. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Owner” shall mean the Person then acting as the Owner or Depositor under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Owners” or “Depositors” under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) in obtaining such statement or assurances from the Commission shall be reimbursed to the Owner by the Servicer. In the event that the Owner is unable to receive any such assurances from the Commission after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts of the related year, such failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 14 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure period, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Sections 9.01 and 14.07(b) of this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 of this Agreement. Such termination shall be

considered with cause pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
