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:
 
 
(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.
 
5

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 Certificateholders (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.
 
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:
 
6

(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 2006-A.” 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.

(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.
 
8

(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) 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 Certificateholders. 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.
 
10

(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.

11

 
(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.
 
(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.
 
12

(f) Maintaining in force at all times a blanket fidelity bond and a policy of errors and omissions insurance coverage that satisfy Fannie Mae 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.

(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 five thousand dollars ($5,000.00); and 
 
(2) With respect to settlement drafts for losses in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), 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.

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 Liquidated Mortgage Loan until all amounts due and owing to the Trust on such Liquidated Mortgage Loan have been remitted to the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall remit the amounts described above by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Master Servicer to the following account:
 
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

14

(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 day is 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 or other mutually agreeable format a report containing such information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Servicer 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 provide special reports or data files or render other related services to either Bayview, the Trustee or any third party, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to provide said reports, data files, or related services. The Servicer shall thereupon bill the requesting party for the cost of such reports, data files or related services including related delivery costs, in accordance with a separate fee to be determined in advance by Bayview, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Servicer.

2.6 Delinquency Control.

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
 
(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.
 
15

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. Any sale of a defaulted Mortgage Loan by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be effected in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer to maximize Liquidation Proceeds.
 
As an alternative to foreclosure, the Servicer may sell a defaulted Mortgage Loan if the Servicer determines that such a sale is likely to increase the amount of Liquidation Proceeds, and any such sale of a defaulted Mortgage Loan by the Servicer shall be effected in a manner expected, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, to maximize Liquidation Proceeds.
 
(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 Certificateholders 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 and Servicing Agreement and (b) the Servicer determines that a longer period 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. If a 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 Trustee as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. The Servicer shall not Directly Operate any REO Property, but shall employ an Independent Contractor to operate REO Property.
 
Upon request by Bayview or the Trustee, with respect to any REO Property, 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 or 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.
 
2.9 Books and Records.

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.

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

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 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 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.

(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.
 
35

(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.
 
10.4 Prior Agreements.
 
If any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any prior Agreements between the parties, oral or written, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and after the effective date of this Agreement, the relationship and agreements between Bayview and the Servicer shall be governed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.8 Applicable Law.
 
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
 
10.9 Notices.
 
All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given within three (3) Business Days of the delivery or mailing thereof, as the case may be, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight carrier, to the attention of the person named at the address set forth on the signature page hereof.

(b) Waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the other hereunder.
 
The waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other subsequent breach.

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 Fannie Mae standard, therefore foreclosure fees for California should not exceed Fannie Mae’s); and
 
(d) Exhibit “D” contains the servicing transfer guidelines for all loans.
