Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (iv) below) a Prepayment Charge without remitting the amount of the foregone Prepayment Charge to the Custodial Account if (i) such waiver relates to a prepayment which is not a result of a refinancing by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (ii) the Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, any Prepayment Charge in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in making the loan payments.

If the Servicer has received such an extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture Trustee, or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value as acceptable to the Master Servicer or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Indenture Trustee shall (i) sign any document prepared and delivered to it by the Servicer or (ii) take any other action, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) reasonably requested by the Servicer, which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture Trustee, to request such grant of extension.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture Trustee, shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture Trustee, in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860L(c)(3) of the Code; or (ii) subject any FASIT formed pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless it notifies the Servicer in writing within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall not proceed with such sale; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not take any action which would prevent the Servicer from disposing of any REO Property within the time period specified under the FASIT Provision of the Code.

Upon receipt of such notification, the Seller must, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and within five (5) Business Days thereafter, either repurchase the Foreclosure Restricted Loan or substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. If the Seller shall fail to repurchase or substitute for such Foreclosure Restricted Loan within five (5) Business Days, the Servicer shall continue foreclosure proceedings consistent with the terms of this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices.

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION
I, Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Vice President of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Servicer”), certify to [identify the company submitting to SEC], and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates (in its role as [identify role] the “Sarbanes Certifying Party”), and with the knowledge and intent that they will rely upon this certification, that:
(i)
Based on my knowledge, the information relating to the Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof submitted by the Servicer to the Sarbanes Certifying Party which is used in connection with preparation of the reports on Form 8-K and the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC with respect to each transaction listed on the attached Exhibit A, taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the date of this certification;
(ii)
The servicing information required to be provided to the Sarbanes Certifying Party by the Servicer under the relevant servicing agreements has been provided to the Sarbanes Certifying Party;
(iii)
I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer under the relevant servicing agreements and based upon the review required by the relevant servicing agreements, and except as disclosed in the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report and all servicing reports, officer’s certificates and other information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted to the Sarbanes Certifying Party, the Servicer has, as of the date of this certification fulfilled its obligations under the relevant servicing agreements; and
(iv)
I have disclosed to the Sarbanes Certifying Party all significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards in accordance with a review conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar standard as set forth in the relevant servicing agreements.
(v)
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Certification or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith.

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