Section 3.05 Additional Covenants of Seller and Servicer

  1. Cooperation with Securitization of Revolving Credit Loans. Without incurring undue effort or any cost except the Servicer's overhead or employees' salaries, Servicer shall take reasonable steps to assist the Purchaser, if the Purchaser so requests by 30 days' advance written notice to the Servicer, in re-selling the Revolving Credit Loans in a whole loan sale or in securitizing the Revolving Credit Loans and selling undivided interests in such Revolving Credit Loans in a public offering or private placement or selling participating interests in such Revolving Credit Loans, which steps may include, (a) providing any information relating to the Revolving Credit Loans reasonably necessary to assist in the preparation of any disclosure documents, (b) providing information relating to delinquencies and defaults with respect to the Servicer's servicing portfolio (or such portion thereof as is similar to the Revolving Credit Loans), (c) entering into any other servicing, custodial or other similar agreements, that are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and which contain such provisions as are customary in securitizations rated "AAA" (including a securitization involving a REMIC) (a "Securitization") and (d) provide such opinions of counsel as are customary in such transactions, provided, however, that any opinion of outside counsel shall be provided at Purchaser's expense. In connection with such a Securitization, the Purchaser may be required to engage a master servicer or trustee to determine the allocation of payments to and make remittances to the certificateholders, at the Purchaser's sole cost and expense. In the event that a master servicer or trustee is requested by the Purchaser to determine the allocation of payments and to make remittances to the certificateholders, the Servicer agrees to service the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the reasonable and customary requirements of such Securitization, which may include the Servicer's acting as a subservicer in a master servicing arrangement. With respect to the then owners of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Servicer shall thereafter deal solely with such master servicer or trustee, as the case may be with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans which are subject to the Securitization and shall not be required to deal with any other party with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans. The cost of such securitization shall be borne by the Purchaser, other than the Servicer's overhead or employees' salaries. In connection with any whole loan sale or securitization contemplated by this paragraph, to the extent the Servicer is required to materially change the manner in which it is servicing the Revolving Credit Loans (including but not limited to, for example, servicing the Revolving Credit Loans on a "scheduled/scheduled" basis) the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee for such Revolving Credit Loans calculated at a higher Servicing Fee Rate as mutually and reasonably agreed to by the Servicer and the Purchaser.
  2. Officer's Certificate of Seller. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9 on the initial Funding Date and upon Purchaser's reasonable request thereafter.
  3. Non- solicitation. The Seller agrees that it shall not solicit any Mortgagors (in writing or otherwise) to refinance any of the Revolving Credit Loans; provided that mass advertising or nationwide or regional mailings (such as placing advertisements on television, on radio, in magazines or in newspapers or including messages in billing statements) that are not directed towards the Mortgagors shall not constitute solicitation and shall not violate this covenant. In the event that any Revolving Credit Loan is prepaid in full at any time within the first twelve (12) months from the related Funding Date as a result of a new loan originated by the Seller, then the Seller shall refund the entire premium described in Section 3.05(e), without adjustment for the schedule contained in Section 3.05(e). Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in identifying any Revolving Credit Loan described in the prior sentence.

(e) Refund of Premium. In the event that the Purchase Price Percentage included a premium payment to the Seller, the Mortgagor prepays the Loan in full and terminates the Revolving Credit Loan within the first [**] months from the related Funding Date, and either the Note does not provide for a prepayment penalty or the prepayment penalty is unenforceable or insufficient to cover the premium paid by Purchaser to Seller, Seller shall refund to Purchaser all or a portion of the uncovered premium according to the following schedule, provided that Purchaser notifies Seller of such prepayment promptly, but in any event no later than eighteen (18) months following the Funding Date:

The parties acknowledge that Seller shall transfer the servicing of the Revolving Credit Loans, normally within forty (40) days of the applicable Funding Date, and as such services Revolving Credit Loans only on an interim basis. Accordingly, all references in this Agreement to the "Servicer" shall mean Seller, but the servicing obligations of Seller shall relate only to the period of time between the Funding Date and the transfer of the subject Revolving Credit Loans. Any obligations of Servicer set forth in this Agreement that logically relate to servicing responsibilities beyond interim servicing shall not apply to Seller.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Revolving Credit Loans and REO Property from and after each Funding Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Revolving Credit Loans, applicable law and the terms and provisions of this Agreement for and on behalf of, and in the best interests of, the Purchaser (without taking into account any relationship the Servicer may have with any Mortgagor or other Person, the participation, if any, of the Servicer in any financing provided in connection with the sale of any Mortgaged Property, or the Servicer's obligation to advance any expenses or incur any costs in the performance of its duties hereunder) in accordance with a standard that is not less than the higher of (a) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which it services similar assets held for its own or its Affiliates' account, (b) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which it services similar assets for third party institutional investors, and (c) Accepted Servicing Practices, in each case giving due consideration to Purchaser's reliance on Servicer. Subject to the foregoing standards, in connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes.
  2. To the extent consistent with Section 5.01(a) and further subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer (acting alone or, solely in the circumstances permitted hereunder, acting through a subservicer) shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including the power and authority (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents (including estoppel certificates), (b) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (c) to submit claims to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, (d) to consent to the application of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the restoration of the applicable Mortgaged Property or otherwise, (e) to bring an action in a court of law, including an unlawful detainer action, to enforce rights of the Purchaser with respect to any Mortgaged Property, (f) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing, marketing and sale of any Mortgaged Property or any REO Property, and (g) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Revolving Credit Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action not provided for in this Agreement that is materially inconsistent with or materially prejudices the interest of the Purchaser in any Revolving Credit Loan or under this Agreement. If reasonably requested by the Servicer, the Purchaser shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Revolving Credit Loans and the REO Properties, including documents relating to the foreclosure, receivership, management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing, marketing and sale (in foreclosure or otherwise) of any Mortgaged Property or any REO Property.

On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts that the Servicer is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 6.01. The Servicer may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 5.05. The Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate, detailed accounting, on a Revolving Credit Loan-by-Revolving Credit Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to this Section.

Section 5.06 Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

The Servicer shall cooperate with the Purchaser in maintaining in full force and effect any Purchaser-Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, to the extent purchased by the Purchaser. Such coverage will not be maintained after such time, if any, as such insurance is required to be released in accordance with the provisions of applicable law including, but not limited to, the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Purchaser-Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Purchaser-Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, or Lender-Paid Insurance Policy, if required, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Purchaser-Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy.

Section 5.07 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account to a different depository institution from time to time; provided that (i) no such transfer shall be made unless all certifications or letter agreements required under Sections 5.04 and 5.06 have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto; and (ii) concurrently upon any such transfer, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collection Account shall at all times constitute an Eligible Account.

Section 5.08 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

The Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best's Key rating of A:V insuring against hazard losses on all of the Revolving Credit Loans. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any blanket policy in connection with any hazard losses on the Revolving Credit Loans in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 5.09 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Revolving Credit Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the "Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond" and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including losses arising by virtue of any Revolving Credit Loan not being satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section  7.02 and/or losses resulting from or arising in connection with forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of or by such Persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Revolving Credit Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 5.09 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Guide and by FHLMC in the FHLMC Servicing Guide. The Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser on or before the Funding Date: (i)  a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and insurance policy; (ii) a written statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser; and (iii) written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy provides that the Purchaser is a beneficiary or loss payee thereunder.

Section 5.10 Management of REO Properties.

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (each, an "REO Property"), the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or the Person (which may be the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser) designated by the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser notifies the Servicer that the Purchaser or such Person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Purchaser from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Servicer shall have no further obligation under this Agreement with respect to any REO Property.

Section 5.11 Realization Upon Specially Serviced Revolving Credit Loans.

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

Upon any Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Purchaser thereof, specifying the date on which such Mortgaged Property became an REO Property and the Servicer shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 hereof.

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

Any recommendation of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.

If, in the exercise of its servicing obligations with respect to any Mortgaged Property hereunder, the Servicer deems it is necessary or advisable to obtain an Environmental Assessment, then the Servicer shall obtain an Environmental Assessment, it being understood that all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with any such Environmental Assessment (including the cost thereof) shall be deemed to be Servicing Advances recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.05(d). Such Environmental Assessment shall (a) assess whether (1) such Mortgaged Property is in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws or (2) after consultation with an environmental expert, taking the actions necessary to comply with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions, and (b) identify whether (1) any circumstances are present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or re mediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or (2) if such circumstances exist, after consultation with an environmental expert, taking such actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions. (The conditions described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall be referred to herein as "Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure.") If any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall perform such additional environmental testing as it deems necessary and prudent to establish the satisfaction of the foregoing Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure or to proceed as set forth below (such additional testing thereafter being included in the term "Environmental Assessment ").

EXECUTION COPY

** Confidential treatment requested           

If an Environmental Assessment deemed necessary or advisable by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 5.11 establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property, but the Servicer in good faith reasonably believes that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to proceed against such Mortgaged Property and, if title thereto is acquired, to take such remedial, corrective or other action with respect to the unsatisfied condition or conditions as may be prescribed by applicable law to satisfy such condition or conditions, then the Servicer shall so notify the Purchaser. If, pursuant to Section 5.01(d), the Purchaser has notified the Servicer in writing to proceed against such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall so proceed. The cost of any remedial, corrective or other action contemplated by the preceding sentence in respect of any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure that is not satisfied shall not be an expense of the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in connection with any such action.

If an Environmental Assessment deemed necessary or advisable by the Servicer in accordance with this Section  5.11 establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property and, in accordance with Section 5.01(d)(iii), the Purchaser elects or is deemed to have elected not to proceed against such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall, subject to Section 5.01(d)(iii), take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property or directly or indirectly becoming the owner or operator thereof) as determined in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 5.01 and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.

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

Section 5.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account.

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

  1. consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
  2. demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or notice from the Purchaser that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Collection Account.

All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 6.01. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

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

  5. In the event that the amount of Estimated Accrued Interest paid by Purchaser on the Funding Date is less than the actual accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans adjusted to the Revolving Credit Loan Remittance Rate for the period from and including the Cut-off Date to but not including the Funding Date, Servicer shall withdraw the amount of such shortage from the Collection Account on the first Remittance Date under this Agreement. In the event that the amount of Estimated Accrued Interest is greater than the actual accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans adjusted to the Revolving Credit Loan Remittance Rate for such period, Servicer shall deposit the amount of such overage into the Collection Account for distribution to Purchaser on the first Remittance Date under this Agreement.
  6. With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to One- month LIBOR (as published in the Wall Street Journal), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. Neither the payment by the Servicer nor the acceptance by the Purchaser of any such interest shall be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver by the Purchaser of any Event of Default.
  7. With respect to any reimbursement by the Purchaser to the Servicer for any Credit Line Advance pursuant to Section 5.01(c) hereof received by the Servicer after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Purchaser shall pay to the Servicer interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to One-month LIBOR (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 200 basis points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE

Section 7.01 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses, Assumption Agreements.

  1. The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Revolving Credit Loan under any " due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto; provided that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Purchaser-Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any.
  2. EXECUTION COPY

    ** Confidential treatment requested           

  3. If the Servicer is prohibited from enforcing such "due- on-sale" clause, then the Servicer will enter into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. (For purposes of this Section 7.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.) If any Revolving Credit Loan is to be assumed, then the Servicer shall inquire into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee and shall use the same underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee that are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Revolving Credit Loans. Where an assumption is allowed, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and subject to the conditions of Section 7.01(c), shall, and is hereby authorized to, enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. In no event shall the Note Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment or the final maturity date be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Purchaser's Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Purchaser's Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation for servicing the Revolving Credit Loans.
  4. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, then the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loan.

Section 7.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

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

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

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

Section 7.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain from interest payments on the Revolving Credit Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee in respect of a Revolving Credit Loan for a particular month shall become payable only upon the receipt by the Servicer from the Mortgagor of the full Monthly Payment in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 7.01, returned check fees, dormancy fees and other servicer compensation for modifications, short sales, late payment charges accrued and collected by Servicer with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan, and similar ancillary income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 7.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to the Purchaser on or before March 31 of each year, beginning with March 31, 2004, an Officers' Certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, (ii) the Servicer has fully complied with the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

Section 7.06 ICSA Data Security Reviews.

At least quarterly Servicer shall obtain a computer security review and certification of all computer and other systems, software, processes, and sites (including those of business units, Affiliates and permitted subcontractors) used in servicing the Revolving Credit Loans, by the International Computer Security Association or another nationally recognized computer security certification organization applying state-of-the-art computer security standards. Such review shall include Internet perimeter intrusion checking and assessment, yield a certification or rating of the highest level that such organization can provide, and a full copy of all reports, scores, certificates and recommendations resulting therefrom shall be provided promptly to Purchaser. Such rating organization shall enter into a reasonable confidentiality agreement with Servicer and Purchaser as a condition to such review.

Section 7.07 Purchaser's Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Purchaser, its officers, employees, accountants, regulators, and auditors (collectively its "Representatives") shall have the right to examine and audit, during business hours or at such other times as are reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon ten days advance notice any and all of (i) the credit and other loan files relating to the Revolving Credit Loans or the Mortgagors, (ii) any and all books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer (whether held by the Servicer or by another) relating to the servicing of the Revolving Credit Loans and (iii) any and all books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer (whether held by the Servicer or by another) that are relevant to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be obligated to make the foregoing information available to the Purchaser and its Representatives at the site where such information is stored; provided that the Purchaser and its Representatives shall be required to pay all reasonable out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in making such information available.

Section 7.08 Optional Purchase of Delinquent Revolving Credit Loans.
