ARTICLE
II
AGREEMENTS
OF THE SERVICER
2.1 General.
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trustee in accordance with Applicable Requirements, the terms of this Agreement
and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such
terms,
in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage
loans
for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards
of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar
mortgage loans but without regard to:
5
(i)
any
relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer may have
with
the related Mortgagor;
(ii)
the
ownership of any Certificates by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii)
the
Servicer’s obligation to make Delinquency Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv)
the
Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with
respect to any particular transaction.
The
standards set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be referred
to
herein as the “Servicing Standard.”
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that rights and
obligations of Bayview hereunder are terminated by the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 5.2, the Servicer shall assume such rights and obligations as
if, for
such purpose, it were Bayview.
2.2 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection
procedures for all Mortgage Loans that are consistent with the Servicing
Standard. The Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, waive,
modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement
of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to
any
Mortgagor if such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
material and provided that no such action will (A) change the Mortgage Rate
on
any Mortgage Loan, (B) defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest
of
any Mortgage Loan, (C) reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan (except for actual payments of principal) or (D) change
the
final maturity date of any Mortgage Loan, unless the Servicer has determined,
after consultation with its counsel, that such a modification would not be
treated as a “substantial modification” that would cause a deemed exchange under
Section 1001(a) of the Code or applicable temporary or final regulations
thereunder at any time when the Mortgage Loan is held by any REMIC created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of
the
Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent
with
the Servicing Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage
Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer
or
forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity
date
of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount
less than the principal balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to
the interests of the Trust Fund (taking into account any estimated Realized
Loss
that might result absent such action). In addition, if the Mortgage Rate
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan is subject to adjustment at the option of the
holder of the Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall not exercise such option.
6
2.3 Procedure.
Until
the
principal and interest of each Mortgage Loan is paid in full, unless this
Agreement is sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject
to all
Applicable Requirements, the Servicer shall:
(a) Collect
applicable payments of principal, interest and applicable deposits for taxes,
assessments and other public charges that are generally impounded, hazard
insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums as required, FHA insurance or
primary mortgage insurance premiums, optional insurance premiums, and all
other
items, as they become due.
(b) Accept
payments of principal and interest and impound deposits in accordance with
the
Mortgage Loan instruments. Deficiencies or excesses in payments or deposits
shall be accepted and applied, or accepted and unapplied, or rejected in
accordance with the requirements of HUD and VA, with respect to FHA and VA
mortgages, respectively, and in accordance with the provisions of conventional
mortgage loan instruments with respect to conventional loans.
(c) Apply
all
installments and impound deposits collected from the Mortgagor, and maintain
permanent mortgage account records capable of producing, in chronological
order:
the date, amount, distribution, installment due date or other transactions
affecting the amounts due from or to the Mortgagor and indicating the latest
outstanding balances of principal, impound deposits, advances, and unapplied
payments.
(d) Establish
and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Custodial Account”),
entitled “Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, as servicer for U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee for Bayview Financial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2007-B.” The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The Servicer will be required to deposit into the Custodial Account
no
later than the second Business Day after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage
Loans
received by the Servicer, less its servicing compensation and other withdrawals
to the extent permitted by this Agreement and to remit such proceeds to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than the
Servicer Remittance Date. Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested
only in
Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
2.3(m) hereof. The Servicer shall give notice to the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee of the location of the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer
when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Servicer shall, from time
to
time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for any of the following
purposes: (i) to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account in the amounts and in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(a); (ii)
to
reimburse the Servicer for Delinquency Advances, but only to the extent of
amounts received which represent late collections, Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds (net of the related Servicing Fees) on Mortgage Loans
with
respect to which such Delinquency Advances were made; (iii) to pay the Servicer
any unpaid Servicing Fees and reimburse any unreimbursed Servicing Advances
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any late collections,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan (provided,
however,
that
if, in the good faith business judgment of the Servicer, any unreimbursed
Servicing Advance will not be ultimately recoverable from related late
collections, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds on such Mortgage
Loan
(which determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the
Servicer delivered to the Master Servicer), then withdrawal from the general
funds in the Custodial Account, without regard to the limitation set forth
above, will be permitted); (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation
(in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Remittance Date any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account; (v)
to pay
to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date
of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be; (vi) to reimburse the Servicer
for
any Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
Non-Recoverable Advance; (vii) to withdraw any amounts deposited to the
Custodial Account in error; and (viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial
Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not withdraw any
amounts relating to Servicing Advances that were advanced by Bayview prior
to
the Cut-off Date (“Owner Advances”), but shall remit such amounts to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.5(a).
7
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Establish
and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”) into which all
collections from the Mortgagors for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard
insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
(“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. The Servicing Accounts
shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts
on a daily basis, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account
of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
any
such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts
from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect timely payment of
taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse
the
Servicer out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to paragraph
(g) (with respect to taxes and assessments) and paragraph (j) (with respect
to
hazard insurance); (iii) refund to the Mortgagors any sums as may be determined
to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to
the
Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate
the
Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. As
part
of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest
on
funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent
that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient,
to pay
such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
As applicable, the Servicer will determine the amount of deposits to be made
by
the Mortgagors and will furnish to each Mortgagor, at least once a year,
an
analysis of the escrow/impound account, all in accordance with the Servicing
Standard.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring and reconciling the Custodial
Account in accordance with industry standards. The Servicer shall attempt
to
promptly resolve any discrepancies and shall be responsible for all expenses
and
consequences for failure to reconcile and resolve such
discrepancies.
8
(g) Maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, ground rents and other
recurring charges generally accepted by the mortgage servicing industry,
which
would become a lien on the Mortgaged Property. For all Mortgage Loans providing
for the payment to and collection by the Servicer of impound deposits for
taxes,
ground rents or such other recurring charges, the Servicer shall remit payments
for such charges before the later of (i) any penalty date and (ii) 30 days
after
the servicing transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer
assumes responsibility for the timely remittance of all such payments and
will
hold harmless and indemnify Bayview, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee from all penalties, loss or damage resulting from the Servicer’s failure
to discharge said responsibility subsequent to delivery of servicing to the
Servicer.
(h) In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, advance or cause
to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment
of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors
pursuant to paragraph (d). Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any penalties
in
connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or other charges)
on
any Mortgaged Property shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent
described herein.
(i) Maintain
in full force and effect at all times, and comply with the terms of, existing
FHA mortgage insurance, VA guarantees or Primary Mortgage Insurance, as
applicable, in accordance with the type of Mortgage, and will assume
responsibility for the remittance of the premiums thereon. The Servicer shall
maintain any optional insurance as mutually agreed upon between the Servicer
and
Bayview. Optional insurance premiums, if any, will be collected monthly and
remitted as collected. Additional set up costs, if any, associated with the
optional insurance will be agreed upon between the Servicer and Bayview and
will
be the responsibility of Bayview.
(j) Use
its
reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause the
related Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage
Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property),
and
if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to
the
provisions of this Agreement concerning Non-Recoverable Advances) to the
extent
the Trustee as mortgagee has an insurable interest (A) fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which
is
at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the then “full replacement cost” of
the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation
costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or such other amount as is
necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application
of co-insurance and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to
be a
co-insurer, and (B) such other insurance as provided in the related Mortgage
Loan. The Servicer shall maintain fire and hazard insurance from an insurer
having a General Policy Rating of “B” or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (a
“Qualified Insurer”) with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the then “full replacement
cost” of the improvements which are a part of such property or (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became
an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing
Advances. The Servicer shall maintain, from a Qualified Insurer, with respect
to
each REO Property such other insurance as provided in the related Mortgage
Loan.
The Servicer shall require that all insurance policies required hereunder
shall
name the Servicer and its successors and assigns as the mortgagee, as loss
payee
and that all such insurance policies require that 30 days’ notice be given to
the Servicer before termination to the extent required by the related Mortgage,
Mortgage Note, or other Mortgage Loan documents.
9
(k) Deposit
into the Custodial Account any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration and repair
of the
related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage). It is understood and
agreed
that no earthquake or other additional insurance other than flood insurance
is
to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Servicer other
than
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other Mortgage
Loan documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the
Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard
area, the Servicer will use its reasonable efforts in accordance with the
Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain or will itself
obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Non-Recoverable
Advances) flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall
be in
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the
related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the
terms of the related Mortgage and as is available for the related property
under
the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such
property is located is participating in such program). If an REO Property
is
located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer
will
obtain flood insurance in respect thereof providing substantially the same
coverage as described in the preceding sentences. If at any time during the
term
of this Agreement a recovery under a flood or fire and hazard insurance policy
in respect of an REO Property is not available but would have been available
if
such insurance were maintained thereon in accordance with the standards applied
to Mortgaged Properties described herein, the Servicer shall either (i)
immediately deposit into the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount
that would have been recovered or (ii) apply to the restoration and repair
of
the property from its own funds the amount that would have been recovered,
if
such application would be consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not be responsible for any shortfall in insurance proceeds
resulting from an insurer’s refusal or inability to pay a claim. Costs of the
Servicer of maintaining insurance policies shall be paid by the Servicer
as a
Servicing Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Servicer
agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims under each related insurance policy in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable
steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery
thereunder.
(l) Approve
the sale, assignment or other transfer of a Mortgaged Property, if the current
borrower makes a request therefor, provided
that the
Servicer shall have received sixty (60) days’
prior written notice of the proposed transfer, no event of default under
the
related loan
documents shall have occurred and be continuing, and the following additional
criteria are satisfied.
10
(i)
the
current borrower shall pay any and all fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred
in
connection with the transfer of the Mortgaged Property (including without
limitation counsel fees and disbursements and all recording fees, title
insurance premiums and mortgage and intangible taxes);
(ii)
if
applicable, the proposed transferee or its principals shall have demonstrated
expertise in owning and operating properties similar in location, size and
operation to the Mortgaged Property, which expertise shall be determined
by the
Servicer, in the Servicer’s sole discretion;
(iii)
the
proposed transferee and its principals shall, as of the date of such transfer,
have an aggregate net worth and liquidity acceptable to the Servicer, in
the
Servicer’s sole discretion;
(iv)
the
proposed transferee shall assume all of the obligations of the current borrower
under the related loan documents in all respects, including without limitation
by entering into an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Servicer (in the Servicer’s sole discretion) and, if applicable, shall
execute in favor of the Trust a guaranty and an affidavit and indemnity of
borrower and guarantor regarding hazardous and toxic materials;
(v)
no
event of default under the related loan documents, or other event which,
with
the giving of notice, passage of time or both would constitute an event of
default under the related loan documents, shall otherwise occur as a result
of
such transfer, and the proposed transferee and its principals shall deliver
(A)
all organization documentation requested by the Servicer, which shall be
satisfactory to the Servicer (in the Servicer’s sole discretion) and (B) all
certificates, agreements and covenants required by the Servicer;
and
(vi)
the
current borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement
to
the existing title policy insuring the security instrument, as modified by
the
assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property and
naming
the proposed transferee as owner of the Mortgaged Property, which endorsement
shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement,
the Mortgaged Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions
or
liens other than those contained in the title policy issued in conjunction
with
the related loan documents.
When
a
Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor,
to the
extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise
its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under
any
“due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note;
provided,
however,
that
the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if either (i) the “due-on-sale”
clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under
applicable law (the reasonableness of such belief shall be conclusively
established by an Opinion of Counsel, which may be in-house counsel, to the
foregoing effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to
the
Trustee and the Master Servicer) or (ii) the Servicer determines that such
enforcement would not be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
In
such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an
assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property
has
been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the
Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not
permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into
a
substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall
notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has
been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee a copy of the assumption or substitution
agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates), which copy
shall
be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and which shall, for
all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer
shall
be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly
Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain
as in
effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity
or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed
nor
shall any required Monthly Payments of principal or interest be deferred
or
forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such
conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall
be
retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
11
(m) Eligible
Investments.
(1)
|
The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the
Custodial
Account to invest the funds in one or more Eligible Investments
bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on
demand, no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which
such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this
Agreement. All such Eligible Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds in a Custodial Account
shall be
made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in
the name
of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds
held in
the Custodial Account) over each such investment and the income
thereon,
and, upon the request of the Trustee or its agent, any certificate
or
other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered
directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document
of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the
Trustee or
its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in a Custodial Account
are at
any time invested in an Eligible Investment payable on demand,
the Trustee
shall, at the direction of the
Servicer:
|
(x)
|
consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment
thereon be made on the last day such Eligible Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts
then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
on such
date; and
|
|
(y)
|
demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination
by the
Servicer, or receipt of notice from the Master Servicer, that such
Eligible Investment would not constitute an Eligible Investment
in respect
of funds thereafter on deposit in the Custodial
Account.
|
(2)
|
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account, from its own funds,
the
amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment
made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
|
(n) With
respect to a Mortgage Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a
“due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms (i) provides that such Mortgage
Loan (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation
of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or (ii)
requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such
lien
or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property, then for so long
as such
Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, and to the extent it has knowledge
of such lien or other encumbrance, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee,
will
be requested to exercise (or decline to exercise) any right it may have as
the
mortgagee of record with respect to such Mortgage Loan to (x) accelerate
the
payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to the creation of any such
lien or
other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard.
2.4 Other.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for further safeguarding the Trustee’s interest in
the property and rights under the Mortgage by:
(a) Inspecting
properties after the Mortgagor is sixty (60) days or more delinquent in the
payment of any obligation under the Mortgage, and performing such other
inspections as are consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(b) Securing
any property found to be vacant or abandoned, and advising Bayview and the
Master Servicer of the status thereof.
(c) Providing
written or electronic notification to Bayview and the Master Servicer within
five (5) Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt of notice or other awareness of
any liens, bankruptcy, probate proceeding, tax sale, partition, local ordinance
violation, condemnation or proceeding in the nature of eminent domain or
similar
event that would, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, impair the Trustee’s
interest in the Mortgaged Property; and the Servicer shall take appropriate
action to preserve the Trustee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property; with
respect to junior liens, unless otherwise requested by the Trustee, the Servicer
will not file requests for notification of any action to be taken against
the
Mortgagor by a senior lien holder under a senior lien and, until the junior
lien
is delinquent, shall not be required to notify any senior lien holder of
the
existence of the junior lien.
12
(d) Providing
written or electronic notification to Bayview and the Master Servicer within
five (5) Business Days with respect to requests for partial releases, easements,
substitutions, division, subordination, alterations, or waivers of security
instrument terms; that would, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, impair the
Trustee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.
(e) Providing
written or electronic notification to Bayview and the Master Servicer, within
five (5) Business Days of any change in ownership of the Mortgaged Property
that
would, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, impair the Trustee’s interest in
such Mortgaged Property; and subject to the Servicing Standard, comply with
all
instructions from Bayview with respect to the acceleration or modification
of
the Mortgage Loan; the Servicer will forward all requests for loan assumption
to
Bayview immediately upon receipt. The Servicer will provide the initial
paperwork necessary to obtain loan assumption information. This information
will
be forwarded to Bayview and the Master Servicer for approval and all necessary
disclosures.
(f) Maintaining
in force at all times a blanket fidelity bond and a policy of errors and
omissions insurance coverage that satisfy Xxxxxx Xxx requirements at the
Servicer’s sole expense. Such coverage shall provide Bayview and the Trustee
protection in liquidating a Mortgage Loan against any loss that can be
attributed to damage to the property from a hazard or peril required to be
insured pursuant to this Agreement and that otherwise would be insured but
for
the Servicer’s negligence in allowing insurance coverage to lapse or failing to
keep a sufficient amount of insurance in force. The Servicer shall provide
the
Master Servicer with certificates evidencing such coverage.
(g) Upon
notice to the Master Servicer, disbursing insurance loss settlements,
including:
(1) Receiving
reports of hazard insurance losses and assuring that proof of loss statements
are properly filed;
(2) Authorizing
the restoration and rehabilitation of the damaged property;
(3) Collecting,

by
complying with the Servicing Standard.
(h) Upon
notice to the Master Servicer, processing insurance drafts and loss settlements
in the following manner:
(1) Provided
that the Mortgage Loan is current in all respects, the Servicer may endorse
and
deliver to the Mortgagor without prior inspection of the property and completion
of repairs, settlements drafts for losses up to the amount of twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000.00); and
13
(2) With
respect to settlement drafts for losses in excess of twenty thousand dollars
($20,000.00), the Servicer shall monitor the progress of the repairs to insure
that the property is being restored in a satisfactory manner and will release
funds in accordance with completed property inspection reports.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall take all actions
necessary under any applicable, FHA Insurance, VA Guaranty or any other Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy to receive all applicable proceeds from such policies
or guaranties.

2.10 and (ii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfall payments which the Servicer
is

to
the first day of the month in which the Servicer Remittance Date occurs and
(ii)
any prepayments in part received subsequent to the last day of the month
immediately preceding the month in which the Servicer Remittance Date occurs,
which amounts shall be remitted on the Servicer Remittance Date next succeeding
the Due Period for such amounts. In addition, on each Servicer Remittance
Date,
the Servicer shall remit to Bayview (i) any Pre-Cut-off Date Amounts collected
during the related Due Period and (ii) any prepayment premiums or penalties
or
yield maintenance amounts collected during the related Due Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), the Servicer
shall not remit to Bayview any Pre-Cut-off Date Amounts relating to any

by
the Servicing Standard and by the terms of the Mortgage Loan.
14

of the
loan pending final settlement, and refund any of the Mortgagor

(d) Make

and the related Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver all
appropriate notices required by the Servicing Standard and the Mortgage Loan
documents including but not by way of limitation, timely notification to
the
Master Servicer and Bayview, of applicable date and information regarding
such
interest rate adjustment, and methods of implementation of such interest
rate
adjustments and of all prepayments of any loan hereunder by the
Mortgagor.
(e) Perform
such other customary duties, furnish copies of standard reports and execute
such
other documents in connection with its duties hereunder as Bayview, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee from time to time reasonably may require. On the
14th
day of each month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the 14th

not a Business Day) the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the
Master Servicer and Bayview on computer readable magnetic tape, diskette

and the Master Servicer including hard copies of the reports described in
Exhibit II.
(f) Provide
Bayview with copies of any and all audit reports issued for the
Trustee.
In
the
event Bayview, the Master Servicer or the Trustee requests the Servicer to

efforts
to provide said reports, data files, or related services. The Servicer shall
thereupon xxxx the requesting party for the cost of such reports, data files
or

2.6 Delinquency
Control.
The
Servicer shall:
(a) Be
responsible for protecting the Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loans by
dealing quickly and effectively, in accordance with established FNMA, VA
or FHA
collection guidelines, as applicable, (unless otherwise instructed by Bayview),
with the Mortgagors who are delinquent or in default. The Servicer’s delinquent
mortgage servicing program shall include an adequate accounting system which
will immediately and positively indicate the existence of delinquent Mortgage
Loans, a procedure that provides for sending delinquent notices, assessing
late
charges, and returning inadequate payments, and a procedure for the individual
analysis of distressed or chronically delinquent loans;
(b) Maintain
a collection department and an on-line automated collection system that
substantially complies with established FNMA, FHA or VA collection guidelines,
as applicable; and
15
(c) Provide
Bayview and the Master Servicer with a month-end collection and delinquency
report identifying and describing the status of any delinquent loans, and
from
time to time as the need may arise, provide Bayview and the Master Servicer
with
loan service reports relating to any items of information which the Servicer
is
otherwise required to provide hereunder, or detailing any matters the Servicer
believes should be brought to the special attention of Bayview and the Master
Servicer.
2.7 Foreclosure.
(a) The
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard,
to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default
and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments or for other disposition of such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall
be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided,
however,
that
such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the
Servicer. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which
Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage that is not covered by a hazard
insurance policy or other insurance policy, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it
shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses and that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu
of
foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take
any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of
any
such action, the Trustee would be considered to hold title to, to be a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to
time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person that regularly
conducts environmental audits in accordance with customary industry standards,
that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee to take
such
actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Trustee to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
16
With
respect to each Commercial Loan, the Servicer shall make the determination
described above on the basis of a report prepared by a Person that regularly
conducts environmental audits in accordance with customary industry standards,
without regard to whether the Servicer has received notice or has actual
knowledge of the presence of any toxic or hazardous substances on the related
Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 2.7 shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 2.3(d).
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trustee to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such
Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or
to
take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall
take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trustee.
The
cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Custodial Account as provided herein.
With
respect to any commercial property, without regard to whether the Servicer
otherwise has notice or knowledge of the presence of any toxic or hazardous
substance thereon, the Servicer shall use its reasonable best
judgment,
subject
to the Servicing Standard, in
determining whether to obtain an environmental audit report as described
above
prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph
(b).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not foreclose upon any Mortgaged Property securing
a Mortgage Loan if in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer it would not
be in
the best economic interests of the Trust Fund to foreclose upon such Mortgaged
Property. In such event, the Servicer will not be required to make any
Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances or any other advances in connection
with the Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer will render a Final Recovery
Determination in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
2.8 REO
Property.
Except
to
the extent that the Applicable Requirements provide otherwise, the following
provisions shall apply to the management and disposition of REO
Property:
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of
the
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee or its nominee or in the name of the Trustee
or its nominee, whichever course of action is in the best interest of the
Trustee in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer.
17
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee (the “REO Account”), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Custodial
Account
to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income
paid on
funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things
in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of the Trustee. In connection therewith, the Servicer
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the REO Account
all
revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw
therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance
of such REO Property including, without limitation: (i) all insurance premiums
due and payable in respect of such REO Property; (ii) all real estate taxes
and
assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition
of
a lien thereon; and (iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such
REO
Property.
To the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance
from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property
and if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
(d) Anything
to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Servicer shall sell such REO
Property in any event within three years after title has been taken to such
REO
Property, unless (a) a REMIC election has not been made under the Pooling

is
necessary for the orderly liquidation of the REO Property. The Servicer shall
use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible.

period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence
and is
necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to
the

Servicer shall obtain broker price opinions from parties selected by the
Servicer, and shall solicit, in a commercially reasonable manner, bids for
the
purchase of such REO Property.
(e) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 2.3(d), the Servicer
may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage
Loan;
and (ii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Delinquency
Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan.
On
the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account
maintained by it and deposit into the Collection Account the income from
the
related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any
withdrawals made pursuant hereto.
18
(f) On

before February 28 of each year, the Servicer shall file information returns
with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or
business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property
and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property
as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code
and a
copy thereof shall be sent to the Master Servicer (upon its request), Bayview
and the Trustee promptly after the filing thereof.

the Servicer’s books and records and operating procedures, or shall cause a
nationally recognized certified public accountant selected and employed by
it to
provide Bayview and the Master Servicer not later than ninety (90) days after
the close of the Servicer’s fiscal year, with a certified statement of the
Servicer’s financial condition as of the close of its fiscal year. The Servicer
shall make its servicing personnel available during regular business hours
to
respond to reasonable inquiries from the Master Servicer or Bayview. Any
additional requests for loan audit or confirmations to be performed by the
Servicer’s audit firm on the Mortgage Loans shall be at the sole expense of the
requesting party. The Servicer will keep records in accordance with industry
standards pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, and such records shall be the
property of the Trustee and upon termination of this Agreement shall be
delivered to the Trustee at the Trustee’s expense.
(b) The
Servicer shall provide to Bayview and the Master Servicer, and the supervisory
agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory
agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and federal
regulations), access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, such
access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and
during
normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by
it.
2.10 Advance
of Monthly Payments.
(a) The
amount of Delinquency Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Servicer
Remittance Date shall equal the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly
Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related Due Period
in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent
on a
contractual basis as of the close of business on the related Determination
Date
and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired
during or prior to the related Due Period and as to which REO Property an
REO
Disposition did not occur during the related Due Period, an amount equal
to the
excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Payment on such REO Property for the most
recently ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property
transferred to the Custodial Account for distribution on such Distribution
Date.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon
Loan
with a delinquent balloon payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment
that
would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Loan.
19
(b) On
or
before noon (New York time) on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall
deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of
Delinquency Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans
and
REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own
funds
or (ii) from the Custodial Account, to the extent of funds held therein for
future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate
entry
in the records of the Custodial Account that amounts held for future
distribution have been used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Delinquency
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the
total amount of Delinquency Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution
and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and
replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before
any
future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for
the
related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Delinquency Advances
to
be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount
that would be remitted by the Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to
this
Agreement on such Servicer Remittance Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Delinquency Advances. The Master
Servicer will provide notice to the Servicer in the event that the amount
remitted by the Servicer to the Master Servicer on such date is less than
the
Delinquency Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Delinquency Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d)
below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except
as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Delinquency Advance shall be required
to be
made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance would, if made, constitute
a
Non-Recoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made
a
Non-Recoverable Advance or that any proposed Delinquency Advance, if made,
would
constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Master Servicer, Bayview and
the
Trustee.

Interest Shortfalls.
On
or
before noon (New York time) on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer

COMPLIANCE
WITH REGULATION AB
9.1 Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The
Owner
and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article IX 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, any Master Servicer 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 and the Master Servicer to deliver to the Owner (including any of its
assignees or designees), any master servicer and any Depositor, any and all
statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary
in the good faith determination of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any
Depositor to permit the Owner, any Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply
with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating
to
the Servicer, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator 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.
27
The
Owner
(including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer
by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions
and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the
Owner’s
reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
9.2 Additional
Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.
(a) The
Servicer shall be deemed to represent to the Owner and to any Depositor,
as of
the date on which information is first provided to the Owner or any Depositor
under Section 9.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Owner or such
Depositor prior to such date: (i)
the
Servicer is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early
amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any
other
securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Servicer; (ii)
the
Servicer has not been terminated as servicer in a mortgage loan securitization,
either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance
test or trigger; (iii) no
material noncompliance

of
mortgage loans involving the Servicer as servicer
has been
disclosed or reported by the Servicer; (iv) no material
changes to the Servicer’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing
function it will perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement
for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans
have
occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the related
Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Servicer’s financial
condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by
the
Servicer of its servicing obligations under this Agreement or any Reconstitution
Agreement;
(vi)
there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against
the Servicer or any Subservicer;
and
(vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to
the
Servicer, any Subservicer or any Mortgage Loan originator with respect to
any
Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related
Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.
(b) If
so
requested by the Owner or any Depositor on any date following the
date
on which information is first provided to the Owner or any Depositor under
Section 9.3,
the
Servicer shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm
in
writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in
paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty
is not

Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection
with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer
Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately
from
such other information; or
32

any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(ii) any
Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB; or
(iii) any
breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
9.2(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 9.2(b) and made as of
a
date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction,
to the
extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach
by the
Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant
to
Section 9.2(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing
date.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section,
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

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.

9.2(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 9.2(b) and made as of
a
date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction,
to the
extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach
by the
Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant
to
Section 9.2(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing
date,
shall, except as provided shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this
paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period,
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 or any applicable Reconstitution
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.
(ii) 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 9.4 or 9.5, including any failure by the Servicer
to
identify pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the

or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision
shall be given effect.
33

the Owner nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure
of the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable
solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage
loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
(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

MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Changes
in Practices.
The
parties hereto acknowledge that the standard practices and procedures of
the
mortgage servicing industry change or may change over a period of time. To
accommodate these changes, the Servicer may from time to time notify Bayview
of
such material changes in practices and procedures.
10.2 Assignment
of Servicing; Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.
(a) This
Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent
of Bayview and the Trustee; provided,
however,
that
this Agreement shall be assumed by (i) any entity into which the Servicer
may be
merged or consolidated, or any entity succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, or (ii) any affiliate of the Servicer, subject in each
case only
to
the requirement that such successor entity shall satisfy all the requirements
of
this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
34
(b) 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
or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions
of subsection (i) below. 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 or any
Reconstitution Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions
of
subsection (ii) below.
(i)
It
shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner
or any
Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. The Servicer shall cause
any
Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit
of the
Owner and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section and
with
Sections 9.2, 9.3(a) and (c), 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6 of this Agreement to the same
extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information
required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 9.3(b) of this
Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer
and delivering to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor any servicer
compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section
9.4, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered
by
such Subservicer under Section 9.5 and any certification required to be
delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes
Certification under Section 9.5 as and when required to be
delivered.
(ii)
It
shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner
or any
Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly
upon request provide to the Owner and any Depositor (or any designee of the
Depositor, such as a master servicer or administrator) a written description
(in
form and substance satisfactory to the Owner and such Depositor) of the role
and
function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer,
specifying (A) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (B) which (if any)
of
such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (C) which elements of the Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (B) of this paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Owner and any Depositor
to comply with the provisions of Sections 9.5 and 9.6 of this Agreement to
the
same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall
be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Owner,
any Master Servicer and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and
attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section
9.5, in
each case as and when required to be delivered.
35
(c) Notwithstanding
any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference
to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to Bayview, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and
the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage
Loans
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of
such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage
Loans when the Subservicer has actually received such payments and, unless
the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken
or to
be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions
taken
or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
be
entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification
of
the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall
be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
(d) In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer, the successor
Servicer, on behalf of Bayview, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
each
subservicing agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the
successor Servicer elects to terminate any subservicing agreement in accordance
with its terms. The successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all
of
the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to
each subservicing agreement to the same extent as if the subservicing agreements
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the subservicing
agreements to the extent incurred prior to the replacement of the predecessor
Servicer. The Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement
therefor, shall, upon request of the successor Servicer, deliver to the assuming
party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement and
the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected
and
held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the subservicing agreements to the assuming
party.
(e) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Subservicer, for the benefit of
Bayview, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related subservicing
agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in
such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer,
in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the
related
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its
own
expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery
resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery
exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from
a
specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.
(f) Any
subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions
or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity
as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer
and the Servicer alone and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have any claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
in
its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 10.2(d) above.
36
10.3 Rights
of Master Servicer and Trustee.
The
Master Servicer and the Trustee are intended third party beneficiaries of
this
Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the parties
hereto, including the right to enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder
to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

any
provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any prior Agreements between

BAYVIEW
SERVICING GUIDELINES
Overview:
the
Servicer and Bayview agree to work jointly in the servicing of certain
non-performing assets. With the exception of FHA and VA mortgages which will
be
serviced completely by the Servicer, all other loans will be identified as
either performing or non-performing acquisitions and will be serviced in
accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the
Bayview Servicing Guidelines (the “Guide”). In the event of a conflict between
the terms of the Agreement and the Guide, the terms of the Guide shall
prevail.
Performing
Loans:
With
respect to Performing Loans the Servicer shall:
(a) Send
late/reminder notice five (5) days after the due date;
(b) Add
five
(5) day late loans to the collectors calling queues;
(c) Continue
calling on all loans with “non-productive” contacts until contact is
made;
(d) Have
a
“live” collection call with no recordings;
(e) Have
a
designated manager to oversee the collection staff and verify that the loans
are
being collected properly. The manager will review reports and determine if
certain call campaigns are needed to resolve abnormally high delinquency
rates.
Bayview will provide the manager with direction if there are certain loans
or
groups of loans that need special attention; and
(f) Demand
Loans on the 60th day of delinquency.
Once
a
loan acquired as a “performing acquisition” has been demanded, the Servicer
shall contact Bayview to obtain approval to proceed with foreclosure; provided,
the loan has not reinstated prior to the expiration of the demand period.
Upon
referral to foreclosure, the procedures outlined for non-performing loans
should
be followed.
Non-performing
Loans and Servicing Transfers
(a) Exhibit
“A” details the responsibilities of each party with respect to servicing loans
acquired as non-performing and the “performing acquisition” loans in
foreclosure;
(b) Exhibit
“B” provides the guidelines regarding advances for non-performing
loans;
(c) Exhibit
“C” provides the foreclosure timeline standards by state. Foreclosure fees
should not exceed the Agency fee schedule for each state (i.e., the timeline
for
California is the Xxxxxx Xxx standard, therefore foreclosure fees for California
should not exceed Xxxxxx Mae’s); and
(d) Exhibit
“D” contains the servicing transfer guidelines for all loans.
