Section 1.02 Calculation of LIBOR. 
 
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the Adjustable Rate Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period will be determined on each Interest Determination Date. On each Interest Determination Date, LIBOR shall be established by the Securities Administrator and, as to any Interest Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London” time, on such Interest Determination Date. Telerate Screen Page 3750 means the display designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected by the Securities Administrator), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The “Reference Bank Rate” will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Securities Administrator) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. The Securities Administrator will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded up to the nearest whole multiple of 0.03125%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by the Securities Administrator, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third consecutive Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall select an alternative comparable index (over which the Securities Administrator e has no control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party. The establishment of LIBOR by the Securities Administrator on any Interest Determination Date and the Securities Administrator’s subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding. Promptly following each Interest Determination Date the Securities Administrator shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date.

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Trustee. 
 
(a) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Trust without recourse all its right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Distribution Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may be held by the Servicers in the Protected Account and the Paying Agent in the Distribution Account, (iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to the Servicing Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreement and (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Moreover, if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets constituting the Trust Fund, then it is intended as follows: (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Loans and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code; (d) the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to be the “securities intermediary,” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)(ii) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, that in the ordinary course of its business maintains “securities accounts” for others, as such term is used in Section 8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code shall be the State of New York; (f) the Securities Administrator is not a “clearing corporation”, as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (g) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be conveyed to the Trust that is either (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan“ as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (iii) a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective Jan 1, 2005.

(ix) The original of each modification, assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement, if any, relating to such Cooperative Loan; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee, the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording”; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor may deliver lost note affidavits from the Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related underlying originator or underlying Seller and the Seller, between the Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are received. The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof.

Section 2.02 Acceptance of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates by Trustee. 
 
(a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Fund to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares that it holds, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Custodian, as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the related Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor and the Trustee of an Initial Certification receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the related Certificateholders, to review or cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face (a “Material Defect), the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections (b)(I)(iv), (v), and (vii) of Section 2.01 and subsection (b)(II)(ix) of Section 2.01, the Trustee’s and Custodian’s obligations shall extend only to the documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price, provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the Securities Administrator the Purchase Price for deposit in the Distribution Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Purchase Price. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Distribution Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in immediately available funds is received by the Paying Agent. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, the Seller, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the related Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.
 
Section 2.03 Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. 
 
(a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders of the Certificates, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor’s rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee’s and the related Certificateholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.
 
(b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of related Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties to this Agreement. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and written notification detailing the components of such Purchase Price to the Master Servicer. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, a Request for Release, and the Custodian shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Seller, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Rating Agencies of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.
 
In connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or the cure of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Seller shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Seller or the related Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such repurchase or cure has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such repurchase or cure have been satisfied, including the delivery to the Securities Administrator of the Purchase Price for deposit into the Distribution Account, together with copies of any Opinion of Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the related Request for Release, in which the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may rely. Solely for purposes of the Securities Administrator providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of such documentation, the Securities Administrator shall approve such repurchase or cure, as applicable, and which approval shall be based solely on the Securities Administrator’s receipt of such documentation and deposits. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
 
Section 2.04 Substitution of Mortgage Loans. 
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of the fifth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Purchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Seller, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Rating Agencies.
 
In connection with any substitution of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Seller shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Seller or the related Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such substitution has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such substitution have been satisfied, together with copies of any Opinion of Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the related Request for Release, in which the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may rely. Solely for purposes of the Securities Administrator providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of such documentation, the Securities Administrator shall approve such substitution and which approval shall be based solely on the Securities Administrator’s receipt of such documentation and deposits. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
 
Section 2.05 Issuance of Certificates. 
 
(a) The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the other assets comprising the Trust Fund and, concurrently therewith, the Certificate Registrar has signed, and countersigned and delivered to the Depositor, in exchange therefor, the Certificates in such authorized denominations representing such Fractional Undivided Interests as the Depositor has requested. The Trustee agrees that it will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets as may from time to time be delivered to it segregated on the books of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the related Certificateholders.
 
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC I Regular Interests and the other assets of REMIC II for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC II Interests. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC II and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the REMIC II Interests.
 
(c) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC II Regular Interests and the other assets of REMIC III for the benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-3 Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC II Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC III and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-3 Certificates.

(a) the Depositor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) is qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except where the failure so to qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s business as presently conducted or on the Depositor’s ability to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

ARTICLE III
 
Administration of the Trust Fund and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
 
Section 3.01 Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.
 
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.05(a), and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
In addition to the foregoing, in connection with a modification of any Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, if the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the obligations of the Servicer with respect to such modification, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement. If the Servicing Agreement requires the approval of the Master Servicer for a modification to a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall approve such modification if, based upon its receipt of written notification from the related Servicer outlining the terms of such modification and appropriate supporting documentation, the Master Servicer determines that the modification is permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement and that any conditions to such modification set forth in the Servicing Agreement have been satisfied. Furthermore, if the Servicing Agreement requires the oversight and monitoring of loss mitigation measures with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor any loss mitigation procedure or recovery action related to a defaulted Mortgage Loan (to the extent it receives notice of such from the related Servicer) and confirm that such loss mitigation procedure or recovery action is initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with any timeframes and any other requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor in any case in which the Master Servicer believes that the related Servicer is not complying with such timeframes and/or other requirements.
 
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto and upon written request from a Servicing Officer other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by it in connection with such powers of attorney.
 
The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the related Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s actual costs.
 
The Trustee shall execute upon the related Servicer’s written instruction (which includes the documents to be signed) and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other appropriate documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.
 
Section 3.02 REMIC-Related Covenants. 
 
For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account (except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement) unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee.
 
Section 3.03 Monitoring of Servicers. 
 
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the non-compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo) should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that Wells Fargo should be terminated in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to Wells Fargo or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
 
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer, other than Wells Fargo, fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In the event that Wells Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements 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 Master Servicer (or in the case Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the successor servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of Wells Fargo or the Master Servicer unless the Trustee has not been able to find a successor servicer or a successor master servicer.
 
(c) In the event that Wells Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of Wells Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Wells Fargo as a result of an event of default by Wells Fargo and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by Wells Fargo after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo), appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.
 
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.04 Fidelity Bond. 
 
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.
 
Section 3.05 Power to Act; Procedures. 
 
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not authorize any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, may cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action would not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trust, not be deemed to be the agent of the Trust.
 
Section 3.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. 
 
To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.07 Release of Mortgage Files.
 
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or as otherwise provided in the Custodial Agreement) hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.
 
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, upon written instruction from such Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.08 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to Be Held for Trustee.
 
(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the right of the Master Servicer to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
 
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.09 Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies. 
 
(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
 
(b) Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.04 and 4.05. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.05.
 
Section 3.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. 
 
The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
 
Section 3.11 Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
 
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or authorize any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
 
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.04, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.04.
 
Section 3.12 Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents. 
 
The Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.
 
Section 3.13 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. 
 
The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment relates to any Additional Disclosure, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an appropriate officer of the Master Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their respective duties under this Section 3.18(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Master Servicer and the Depositor timely performing their duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from a party’s failure to deliver on a timely basis, any information from such party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 4.18; provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with this Section 4.18 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
 
(b)  In connection with the filing of any Form 10-K hereunder, in the case where the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator are not affiliated the Securities Administrator shall sign a Back-Up Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Q; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.
 
(c)  The Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Securities Administrator’s obligations under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Securities Administrator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each of their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Back-Up Certification, any Annual Statement of Compliance, any Assessment of Compliance or any Additional Disclosure provided by the Securities Administrator on its behalf or on behalf of any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 (the “Securities Administrator Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Securities Administrator Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Securities Administrator Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.
 
The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each of their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.18 (the “Depositor Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required to be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.
 
The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and each of its respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Annual Statement of Compliance, any Assessment of Compliance or any Additional Disclosure provided by the Master Servicer on its behalf or on behalf of any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 (the “Master Servicer Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Master Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the Master Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.
 
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with any conduct for which it is providing indemnification under this Section 3.18(c), agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the respective parties.
 
The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 3.18(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.
 
(d)  Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.18 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall, constitute an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). Failure of the Securities Administrator to comply with this Section 4.18 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall, at the written direction of the Depositor, constitute a default and the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Securities Administrator for the same (but subject to the Securities Administrator’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. In connection with the termination of the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.18(d), the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses associated with such termination to the extent set forth in Section 10.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Event of Default by the Master Servicer or default by the Securities Administrator shall have occurred with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any report on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, any Form 15 or Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from any party’s failure to deliver on a timely basis, any information from such party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such report, Form or amendment, and does not result from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
(e)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.02, this Section 3.18 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.
 
(f)  Any report, notice or notification to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.18, may be delivered via email to or, in the case of a notification, telephonically by calling Reg AB Compliance Manager at 212-272-7525.
 
Section 3.19 Intention of the Parties and Interpretation.
 
Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Seller, the Depositor and the Master Servicer with the provisions of Regulation AB. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable requests made by the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator for delivery of additional or different information as the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the obligations of the parties to this transaction as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB. 
 
Section 3.20 UCC. 
 
The Depositor shall inform the Trustee in writing of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements that were filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Trust with stamped recorded copies of such financing statements to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt by the Depositor. If directed by the Depositor in writing, the Trustee will file any continuation statements solely at the expense of the Depositor. The Depositor shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.
 
Section 3.21 Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. 
 
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, EMC shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related Fiscal Quarter.
 
(b) If at any time EMC remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Distribution Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and EMC provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Distribution Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan prepared and delivered to the Trustee, at the request of EMC, without recourse, representation or warranty, to EMC which shall succeed to all of the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. EMC will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

The Master Servicer may clear and terminate the account pursuant to Section 10.01 and remove amounts from time to time deposited in error.
 
(ii) On an ongoing basis, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the account (i) any expenses, costs and liabilities recoverable by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator or the Custodian pursuant to Sections 3.03, 7.03 and 9.05 and (ii) any amounts payable to the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 3.14; provided however, that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay from its own funds any amounts which it is required to pay under Section 7.03(a).

(c) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account or the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i) prepayment or late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Subsections 4.05(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii), need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account.

The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account shall be (i) held in cash and fully insured by the FDIC to the maximum coverage provided thereby or (ii) invested in the name of the Paying Agent, in such Permitted Investments as may be selected by the Master Servicer or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as may be selected by the Master Servicer, provided that time deposits of such depository institutions would be a Permitted Investment.

(a) The Depository and the Depositor signing on behalf of the Issuing Entity have entered into a Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Depository Agreement”). Except for the Residual Certificates, the Non-Offered Certificates (which are also Physical Certificates) and the Individual Certificates and as provided in Subsection 5.01(b), the Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Certificate Registrar except to a successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Certificate Registrar shall deal with the Depository as representative of such Certificate Owners of the respective Class of Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of the related Certificateholders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (v) the Certificate Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.
 
(b) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Certificate Registrar shall request that the Depository notify all Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
 
(c) (i) REMIC I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular Interests, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC I and have the initial principal amounts and accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth in this Section 5.01(c)(i), and (y) the Class R-1 Certificates, which are hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I.

REMIC I Regular Interest X will not have an initial principal amount but will accrue interest on its uncertificated notional amount calculated in accordance with the definition of “Uncertificated Notional Amount” herein.
 
 
(2)
A variable pass-through rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans with Net Mortgage Rates greater than 7.5000% per annum over (b) 7.5000% per annum.

Interest shall be payable to the REMIC I Regular Interests at the applicable Pass-Through Rates on the related Uncertificated Principal Balances. On the first Distribution Date, REMIC I Regular Interest R-2/R-3 will be paid $100 in reduction of its Uncertificated Principal Balance from distributions of principal collected from Subgroup I. Following the distribution in the preceding sentence, distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC I Regular Interests (other than REMIC I Regular Interest R-2/R-3), in each case from the related Subgroup, in the following manner: first, to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “Sub,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup other than the PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of any such Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates related to such Subgroup other than the Class PO Certificates (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “ZZZ,” (provided that a portion of the remaining principal equal to the Class PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount attributable to the Discount Mortgage Loans will be distributed to REMIC I Regular Interest PO). Realized Losses from each Subgroup shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date, first, to the related REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation “Sub,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup other than the PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of any such Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates related to such Subgroup other than the Class PO Certificates (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, any remaining Realized Losses from each Subgroup to the related REMIC I Regular Interests ending with the designation “ZZZ” (except that if a Realized Loss is recognized with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan, the applicable portion of such Realized Loss will be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest PO).

The aggregate amount of any Net Interest Shortfalls and interest portion of Realized Losses for any Distribution Date shall be allocated to accrued interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interests (other than REMIC I Regular Interest PO), pro rata, based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC I Regular Interest.
 
(ii) REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC II Regular Interests, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC II and have the initial principal amounts and accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rates equal to those set forth in this Section 5.01(c)(ii), and (y) the Class R-2 Certificates, which are hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II. The REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Certificates will have the following designations, initial principal amounts and Pass-Through Rates:

(6)
A variable pass-through rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Mortgage Loans with Net Mortgage Rates greater than 7.5000% per annum over (b) 7.5000% per annum; provided that, for federal income tax purposes the Class X Certificates will not have a Pass-Through Rate but will be entitled to receive 100% of the interest payable with respect to REMIC II Regular Interest X.

A variable pass-through rate equal to the weighted average of 5.5000% per annum, 6.2500% per annum and 7.5000% per annum, weighted in proportion to the results of subtracting from the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup I, Subgroup II and Subgroup III, respectively (other than the PO Percentage of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loans), the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the related Class or Classes of Senior Certificates other than the Class PO Certificates; provided that, for federal income tax purposes, the Class B Certificates will bear interest at a rate equivalent to the foregoing, expressed as the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on REMIC II Regular Interests B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5 and B-6, weighted on the basis of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of each such REMIC II Regular Interest immediately preceding the related Distribution Date.
 
(d) For purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the Distribution Date immediately following the maturity date for the Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date in the Trust Fund has been designated as the “latest possible maturity date” for the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Regular Certificates.
 
(e) With respect to each Distribution Date, each Class of Certificates shall accrue interest during the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect to each Distribution Date and each such Class of Certificates, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, based upon the respective Pass-Through Rate set forth, or determined as provided, above and the Current Principal Amount (or Notional Amount in the case of the Interest Only Certificates) of such Class applicable to such Distribution Date.
 
(f) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 or A-5, as applicable. On original issuance, the Certificate Registrar shall sign, countersign and shall deliver them at the direction of the Depositor. Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates of any Class, the Certificate Registrar may sign and countersign temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed or typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates of such Class, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall sign and countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations for such Class, of Definitive Certificates of the same Class. Until so exchanged, such temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as Definitive Certificates.
 
(g) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be registered as a single Certificate of such Class held by a nominee of the Depository or the DTC Custodian, and beneficial interests will be held by investors through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of (i) in the case of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Residual Certificates), $100,000 and in each case increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, (ii) in the case of the Class II-A-1 Certificates, $1,000 and increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, and (iii) in the case of the Subordinate Certificates, $100,000 and increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each such Class may be issued in a different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and countersign Physical Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Non-Offered Certificates shall be issued in certificated fully-registered form in minimum dollar denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one of each of the Non-Offered Certificates of each Class may be issued in a different amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding related Non-Offered Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class R-1, Class R-2 and Class R-3 Certificates shall each be issued in certificated fully-registered form, in the denomination of $50. Each Class of Global Certificates, if any, shall be issued in fully registered form in minimum dollar denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each Class may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and countersign (i) in the case of each Class of the Offered Certificates, the Certificate in the entire Current Principal Amount of the respective Class and (ii) in the case of each Class of the Non-Offered Certificates, Individual Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal Amount of each such respective Class on the Closing Date. The Certificates referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) and if at any time there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions, shall be delivered by the Depositor on behalf of the Depository to and deposited with the DTC Custodian. The Certificate Registrar shall sign the Certificates by facsimile or manual signature and countersign them by manual signature on behalf of the Certificate Registrar by one or more authorized signatories, each of whom shall be Responsible Officers of the Certificate Registrar or its agent. A Certificate bearing the manual and facsimile signatures of individuals who were the authorized signatories of the Certificate Registrar or its agent at the time of issuance shall bind the Certificate Registrar, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such positions prior to the delivery of such Certificate.
 
(h) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate the manually executed countersignature of the Certificate Registrar or its agent, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All Certificates issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
 
(i) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup” day of each REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(j) For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a tax year that is a calendar year and shall report income on an accrual basis.
 
(k) The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause each REMIC to timely elect to be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of any trust established hereby shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such elections.
 
(l) The following legend shall be placed on the Residual Certificates, whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:
 
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES THE CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ADDRESSED TO THE DEPOSITOR, TRUSTEE, CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR, MASTER SERVICER AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR AND ON WHICH THEY MAY RELY THAT IS SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE THAT THE PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES ON BEHALF OF SUCH PERSON WILL NOT RESULT IN OR CONSTITUTE A NONEXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION, IS PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WILL NOT GIVE RISE TO ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS ON THE PART OF THE DEPOSITOR, CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR OR THE TRUSTEE.
 
The following legend shall be placed upon the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates, whether upon original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any such Class in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:

(c) By acceptance of an Individual Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. In addition to the provisions of Subsection 5.02(h), the following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate:
 
(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.
 
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of any Individual Certificate if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor; and (y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Letter (and the Certificate Registrar shall be fully protected in so doing), provided that, if based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the delivery of (x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws, the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual Certificate as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
(d) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), so long as a Global Certificate of such Class is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by holders of Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take delivery in the form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(d) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:
 
(i) In the case of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, such transferee shall be required to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(ii).
 
(ii) In the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global Certificates being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, except as set forth in clause (i) above, the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(i).
 
(iii) In the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class, the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer if the transferee has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.
 
(iv) No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.
 
(e) Subject to Subsection 5.02(h), an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for another Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificate of such Class, so long as such Certificate is outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository) may be made only in accordance with this Subsection 5.02(e) and in accordance with the rules of the Depository:
 
(i) A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class may at any time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such Class.
 
(ii) A holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class may exchange such Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class if such holder furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB status.

(ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of such Class as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall (or shall request the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the certificate balance of such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
 
(g) The Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Certificate issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate.
 
(h) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 5.02, the holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal to the minimum authorized denomination set forth in Section 5.01(g) above or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Certificate Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository (or its nominee) to notify the Certificate Registrar in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request made at the Corporate Trust Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest and in such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
 
(i) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that no Certificate may be exchanged for new Certificates unless the original Fractional Undivided Interest represented by each such new Certificate (i) is at least equal to the minimum authorized denomination or (ii) is acceptable to the Depositor as indicated to the Certificate Registrar in writing. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall sign and countersign and the Certificate Registrar shall deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
 
(j) If the Certificate Registrar so requires, every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, with a signature guarantee, in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
(k) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
(l) The Certificate Registrar shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange but shall retain such Certificates in accordance with its standard retention policy or for such further time as is required by the record retention requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereafter may destroy such Certificates.
 
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. 
 
(a) If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as it may require to save it harmless, and (iii) the Certificate Registrar has not received notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a third Person, the Certificate Registrar shall sign, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Fractional Undivided Interest but in each case bearing a different number. The mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall thereupon be canceled of record by the Certificate Registrar and shall be of no further effect and evidence no rights.
 
(b) Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. 
 
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee or any agent of the Depositor, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No Certificate shall be deemed duly presented for a transfer effective on any Record Date unless the Certificate to be transferred is presented no later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding such Record Date.
 
Section 5.05 Transfer Restrictions on Residual Certificates. 
 
(a) Residual Certificates, or interests therein, may not be transferred without the prior express written consent of the Tax Matters Person and the Depositor. As a prerequisite to such consent, (1) the proposed transferee must provide the Tax Matters Person, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee with an affidavit that the proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee (and an affidavit that it is a United States Person), and (2) the proposed transferor must provide the Tax Matters Person, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee with a certificate to the effect that it has no knowledge that the statements made by the proposed transferee in any such affidavit are false, each as provided in Subsection 5.05(b).
 
(b) No transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate (including a beneficial interest therein) may be made unless, prior to the transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, (1) the proposed transferee (including the initial purchasers thereof) delivers to the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E stating, among other things, that as of the date of such transfer (i) such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and a United States person and that (ii) such transferee is not acquiring such Residual Certificate for the account of any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or not a United States person, and (2) the proposed transferor delivers to the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor a certificate to the effect that it has no knowledge that the statements made by the proposed transferee in any such affidavit are false. The Tax Matters Person shall not consent to a transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person, such transfer, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Holder of a Residual Certificate for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions thereon. If any purported transfer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(b), then the prior Holder thereof shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b), be restored to all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported transfer. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Tax Matters Person or the Depositor shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate that is not permitted by this Subsection 5.05(b) or for making payments due on such Residual Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the written affidavit referred to above was received with respect to such transfer, and the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, as applicable, had no knowledge that it was untrue. The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person under this Subsection 5.05(b) at the time it became a Holder all payments made on such Residual Certificate. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(b) and to any amendment of this Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise) by counsel of the Tax Matters Person or the Depositor to ensure that the Residual Certificates are not transferred to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person and that any transfer of such Residual Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
 
(c) The Residual Certificates (including a beneficial interest therein) may not be purchased by or transferred to any Person who is not a United States Person.
 
(d) By accepting a Residual Certificate, the purchaser thereof agrees to be a Tax Matters Person, and appoints the Securities Administrator to act as its agent with respect to all matters concerning the tax obligations of the Trust.
 
Section 5.06 Restrictions on Transferability of Non-Offered Certificates. 
 
(a) No offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of any Non-Offered Certificate shall be made by any Holder thereof unless registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available and the prospective transferee (other than the Depositor) of such Certificate signs and delivers to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Letter, if the transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-l hereto, or a Rule 144A Certificate, if the transferee is a QIB, in the form set forth as Exhibit F-2 hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Non-Offered Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer of any Certificate to a transferee other than a QIB, the Certificate Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Certificate Registrar that such transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund.
 
(b) The Non-Offered Certificates shall each bear a Securities Legend.
 
Section 5.07 ERISA Restrictions. 
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), no Residual Certificates or Non-Offered Certificates may be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the proposed transferee provides either (i) the Certificate Registrar, with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (upon which they may rely) which is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, which opinion will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, that the purchase of such Certificates by or on behalf of such Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or (ii) in the case of the Non-Offered Certificates, a representation or certification to the Certificate Registrar (upon which the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the other parties hereto are authorized to rely) to the effect that the proposed transfer and holding of such a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust: (I) will not result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption including but not limited to Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset Managers); PTE 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Bank Collective Investment Funds); PTE 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts), PTE 95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company General Accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
 
(b) Any Person acquiring an interest in a Global Certificate which is a Non-Offered Certificate, by acquisition of such Certificate, shall be deemed to have represented to the Certificate Registrar that in the case of the Non-Offered Certificates, either: (i) it is not acquiring an interest in such Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) the transfer and holding of an interest in such Certificate to that Person and the subsequent servicing, management and operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, PTE 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
 
(c) Each beneficial owner of a Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
 
(d) Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions in this Agreement with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for transfer of any such Book-Entry Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein.
 
Section 5.08 Rule 144A Information. 
 
For so long as any Non-Offered Certificates are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Non-Offered Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a holder, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Depositor shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.
 
Section 5.09 Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar. 
 
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Securities Administrator, shall act as the initial Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar for so long as it is also the Master Servicer. Each of the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar may resign upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee; provided that no such resignation shall be effective until the appointment of a successor paying agent or certificate registrar. In the event the Paying Agent and/or the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed by the Trustee for cause, the Trustee may appoint a successor paying agent or certificate registrar, as applicable. The Trustee shall cause such successor paying agent, if other than the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such paying agent shall agree with the Trustee that such paying agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums have been paid to the Certificateholders.
 






 
ARTICLE VI
 
Payments to Certificateholders
 
Section 6.01 Distributions on the Certificates.
 
(a) Interest and principal (as applicable) on the Certificates will be distributed by the Paying Agent monthly on each Distribution Date based on the Certificates Distribution Report for such Distribution Date furnished by the Securities Administrator pursuant to 6.05 hereof, commencing in June 2006, in an amount equal to the related Available Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the related Available Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be distributed as follows:
 
On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds will be distributed as follows:
 
(i) on each Distribution Date, the Available Funds will be distributed to the Senior Certificates as follows:
 
first, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates), on a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Classes for such Distribution Date;
 
second, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates), on a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Available Funds;
 
third, concurrently as follows:
 
 
(I)
to the extent of the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup I, to the Class I-A-1 Certificates and Class R Certificates, as principal, the Subgroup I Principal Distribution Amount, in the order described in this Agreement, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
 
 
(II)
to the extent of the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup II, to the Class II-A Certificates (other than the Class II-A-3 Certificates), as principal, the Subgroup II Principal Distribution Amount, in the order described in this Agreement, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
 
(III)
to the extent of the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup III, to the Class III-A-1 Certificates, as principal, the Subgroup III Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
 
fourth, to the Class PO Certificates, the Class PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of the remaining Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
fifth, to the Class PO Certificates, the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount, provided that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all Classes of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class PO Certificates, and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Cross-Over Date.
 
(ii) Except as set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) below, on each Distribution Date on or prior to the Cross-Over Date, an amount equal to the remaining Available Funds after the distributions in clause (i) above shall be distributed sequentially in the following order, to the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the remaining Available Funds.
 
(iii) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date but after the reduction of the Current Principal Amount of all of the Senior Certificates related to a Subgroup to zero, the remaining Class or Classes of Senior Certificates in the remaining Subgroups (other than the Class II-A-3, Class IIIA-2 and Class X Certificates) will be entitled to receive in reduction of their Current Principal Amounts, pro rata based upon their Current Principal Amounts immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in addition to any Principal Prepayments related to such remaining Senior Certificates’ respective Subgroup allocated to such Senior Certificates, 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Subgroup or Subgroups relating to the class or classes of Senior Certificates of the fully repaid Subgroup; provided, however, if (A) the weighted average of the Subgroup Subordinate Percentages on such Distribution Date equals or exceeds two times the initial weighted average of the Subgroup Subordinate Percentages and (B) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 50%, then the additional allocation of Principal Prepayments to the Subgroup I, Subgroup II and Subgroup III Certificates in accordance with this clause (iii) will not be made and 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan relating to the fully repaid class or classes of Senior Certificates will be allocated to the Subordinate Certificates.
 
(iv) If, after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities first and second of clause (i) above on any Distribution Date, the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup I is less than the sum of the Subgroup I Principal Distribution Amount and Class PO Principal Distribution Amount, or the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup II is less than the Subgroup II Principal Distribution Amount, or the remaining Available Funds related to Subgroup III is less than the Subgroup III Principal Distribution Amount, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining funds will be distributed to the related Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-A-3, Class III-A-2 and Class X Certificates) on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding any reduction in principal distributable to the Class PO Certificates pursuant to this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class PO Certificates shall be reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between (i) principal distributable to the Class PO Certificates in accordance with priority fifth of clause (A) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to the Class PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph (such difference for the Class PO Certificates, the “Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class PO Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added to the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
(v) On each Distribution Date, any Available Funds remaining after payment of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, in each case as described above, will be distributed to the Class R Certificates on a pro rata basis; provided, that if on any Distribution Date there are any Available Funds remaining after payment of interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, such amounts will be distributed to the other Class or Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, based upon their Current Principal Amounts, until all amounts due to all Classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before any amounts are distributed to the Class R Certificates.
 
(b) “Pro rata” distributions among Classes of Certificates will be made in proportion to the then Current Principal Amount of such Classes.
 
(c) No Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amount or Notional Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.
 
(d) If on any Distribution Date the Available Funds for the related Senior Certificates is less than the Accrued Certificate Interest on the related Senior Certificates for such Distribution Date prior to reduction for Net Interest Shortfalls and the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be allocated among the Holders of each Class of the related Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates) in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfalls and/or Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In addition, the amount of any interest shortfalls will constitute unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest and will be distributable to Holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts on subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available Funds after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such amounts so carried forward will not bear interest. Shortfalls in interest payments will not be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Master Servicer or otherwise, except to the extent of applicable Compensating Interest Payments.
 
(e) The expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid by each of the REMICs, to the extent that such expenses relate to the assets of each of such respective REMICs, and all other expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid pro rata by each of the REMICs.
 
(f) (i) On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup I Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed as principal in the following order or priority:
 
(1) concurrently to the Class R-1, Class R-2 and Class R-3 Certificates, on a pro rata basis, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero; and 
 
(2) to the Class I-A-1 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero. 
 
(ii)  On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup II Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed as principal in the following order or priority:
 
(1) to the Class II-A-9 Certificates, the Class II-A-9 Priority Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
 
(2) any remaining amount will be distributed concurrently as follows:
 
A) 16.666666666667% to the Class II-A-2 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to the zero; and
 
(B) 83.333333333333% sequentially in the following order of priority:
 
(a) to the Class II-A-4, Class II-A-5 and Class II-A-6 Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof, in each case until the aggregate Current Principal Amount thereof have been reduced to the Aggregate Planned Principal Amount for such Distribution Date;
 
(b) to the Class II-A-7 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to the Targeted Principal Amount for such Distribution Date;
 
(c) to the Class II-A-8 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to the zero;
 
(d) to the Class II-A-7 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof without regard to the Targeted Principal Amount, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
 
(e) to the Class II-A-4, Class II-A-5 and Class II-A-6 Certificates, sequentially, in that order, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof without regard to the Aggregate Planned Principal Amount, in each case until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;
 
(3) to Class II-A-1 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
(4) to Class II-A-9 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof without regard to the Class II-A-9 Priority Amount until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and
 
(g) Prior to the occurrence of the Credit Support Depletion Date, an amount equal to the Class II-A-8 Accrual Amount shall be distributed as follows:
 
(1) to the Class II-A-7 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to the Targeted Principal Amount of the Class II-A-7 Certificates for such Distribution Date; and
 
(2) to the Class II-A-8 Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; 
 
(h) In addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.04. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Current Principal Amount of the related Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Current Principal Amount of the related Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of such Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Current Principal Amount of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Fractional Undivided Interest.
 
Section 6.02 [Reserved.] 
 
Section 6.03 Allocation of Losses. 
 
On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month, based on information provided by the Servicer.
 
(a) Certificates
 
(i) Realized Losses with respect to a Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a pro rata basis between the PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and the Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled Principal Balance.
 
(ii) On each Distribution Date, the PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan and any Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Class PO Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of the Class PO Certificates is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Cross-Over Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class PO Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized Losses or Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the “Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.” To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution Date through the Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect of the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class PO Certificates will be made in accordance with priority fifth of clause (i) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any distributions in respect of any Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation of the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Cross-Over Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and applicable Realized Losses and Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Class PO Certificates will not be added to, the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
 
(iii) The Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Current Principal Amount of such Class has been reduced to zero.
 
(iv) Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the outstanding Class or Classes of Senior Certificates (other than Class II-A-3, Class III-A-2 and Class X Certificates), pro rata, based upon their respective Current Principal Amounts.
 
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to any Class of Certificates to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Loss Allocation Limit”).
 
(b) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated among the related Certificates of such Class (other than the Interest Only Certificates) in proportion to their respective Current Principal Amounts. Any allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Current Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related Distribution Date.
 
(c) Realized Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.
 
(d) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall determine and notify the Paying Agent in writing of the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. Any Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after the Cross-Over Date, the Senior Certificates, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution Date.
 
(e) Any Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of Certificates in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date. The interest portion of any Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans occurring on or prior to the Cross-Over Date will not be allocated among any Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Available Funds on the related Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Subordinate Certificates in right of distribution, such Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical Class designations. Following the Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Senior Certificates.
 
Section 6.04 Payments. 
 
(a) On each Distribution Date, other than the final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record as of the immediately preceding Record Date the Certificateholder’s pro rata share of its Class (based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest represented by such Holder’s Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date to such Class, based on written information provided to the Paying Agent by the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and, based on such amounts, the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount to be distributed to each Certificateholder.

Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the parties, and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all parties regarding any such change.

Such obligations shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to the requirements of the Code.
 
Section 6.06 Monthly Advances. 
 
The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to remit any Advance required pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. The related Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the related Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the related Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination. Subject to the Master Servicer’s recoverability determination, in the event that a Servicer (other than Wells Fargo) fails to make a required Advance, the Master Servicer, as successor servicer, shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account. Subject to the Securities Administrator’s recoverability determination, in the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required Advance, the Securities Administrator shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account. If Wells Fargo, as a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator was required to make an Advance but failed to do so, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of such failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall appoint a successor servicer who will make such Advance, or the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account, unless the Trustee shall have determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Trustee cannot find a successor servicer to replace Wells Fargo as Servicer the Trustee shall become the successor servicer and shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account, unless the Trustee shall have determined that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
Section 6.07 Compensating Interest Payments. 
 
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than each Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to subclauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the Servicers and (ii) the Master Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date (such amount, the “Compensating Interest Payment”).

(a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Certificates, the Servicing Agreements, the Assignment Agreement or the Certificates or the powers of attorney delivered by the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action and actual knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer’s failure to receive any such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Person right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.
 
(b) [Reserved].
 
(c) The Trust Fund will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise covered by the Master Servicer’s indemnification pursuant to Subsection (a) above.
 
Section 7.04 Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others. 
 
Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:
 
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust Fund or the Holders of the Certificates for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
 
(b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
 
(c) The Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Custodian, and the Trustee, to the extent it becomes a party to the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 3.03, and any officer, director, employee or agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, is indemnified by the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the Custodian’s failure to perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement, respectively, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s or the Custodian’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.
 
(d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Holders of the Certificates hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section 4.05. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).
 
(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.
 
Section 7.05 Master Servicer Not to Resign. 
 
Except as provided in Section 7.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured; provided, however, in the event that the Securities Administrator resigns or is terminated or removed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Master Servicer shall resign. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until EMC or the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.
 
Section 7.06 Successor Master Servicer. 
 
In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, EMC or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as EMC or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.
 
Section 7.07 Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. 
 
The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement and EMC may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master Servicer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Independent Counsel addressed to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by EMC, EMC shall pay the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.
 




 
ARTICLE VIII
 
Default
 
Section 8.01 Events of Default. 
 
“Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:
 
(i)  Any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it (other than any Advance) pursuant to this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
 
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Holders of the Certificates, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund; or
 
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or
 
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;
 
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 7.05 or 7.07; or
 
(vi) The Master Servicer fails to deposit or cause to be deposited, in the Distribution Account any Monthly Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date.
 
In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders of the Certificates), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of EMC, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 8.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder. All reasonable and properly documented costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such transfer shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Master Servicer within 30 days of request therefor or, if the Master Servicer fails to pay any such amount, reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Amount. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 8.01 shall occur and the Securities Administrator fails to make such Advance described in clause (vi) of Section 8.01, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of such failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Holder of the Certificates or to reimbursement of Monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 8.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.
 
Section 8.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. 
 
(a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter have all the rights and powers of, and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (including the requirement to make Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 6.06); provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
(b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.
 
Section 8.03 Notification to Certificateholders. 
 
Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Holders of the Certificates at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 8.04 Waiver of Defaults. 
 
The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Certificates, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on behalf of all Holders of the Certificates, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Certificates, which default may only be waived by Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating 100% of the Trust Fund. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.
 
Section 8.05 List of Certificateholders. 
 
Upon written request of three or more Holders of Certificates of record, for purposes of communicating with other Holders of Certificates with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Certificate Registrar will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of related Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar.
 




 
ARTICLE IX
 
Concerning the Trustee and the Securities Administrator

If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(ii) the later of the making of the final payment or other liquidation, or any advance with respect thereto, of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired with respect to any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event that an advance has been made, but not yet recovered, at the time of such termination, the Person having made such advance shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding such termination, any payments received subsequent thereto with respect to which such advance was made; or
 
(iii) the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(b) In no event, however, shall the portion of the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) or (ii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of this Agreement.
 
(c) The right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above shall be exercisable only if (i) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Loan at the time of any such repurchase is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Balance, and the or (ii) the Depositor, based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, has determined that the REMIC status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year. At any time thereafter, in the case of (i) or (ii) above, the Depositor may elect to terminate REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III at any time, and upon such election, the Depositor or its designee, shall repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above.
 
(d) Paying Agent shall give notice of any termination to the Certificateholders, with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation. Such notice shall be given by letter, mailed not earlier than the l5th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution, and shall specify (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.
 
(e) If the option of the Depositor to repurchase or cause the repurchase of all the assets in the Trust Fund as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above, is exercised, the Depositor and/or its designee shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account, by the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to the related Termination Purchase Price. Upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates by the related Certificateholders, the Paying Agent shall distribute to such Certificateholders as directed by the Securities Administrator in writing an amount determined as follows: with respect to each related Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates), the outstanding Current Principal Amount, plus with respect to each such Certificate, one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate; and with respect to the Class R Certificates, the percentage interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). If the proceeds with respect to the related Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the related Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency shall be allocated first, to the related Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical designations and then to the related Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. Upon deposit of the related Termination Purchase Price and following such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly to the Depositor and/or its designee the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the related portions of the Accounts with respect thereto shall terminate, subject to the Paying Agent’s obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions pursuant to Subsection 10.01(g). Any other amounts remaining in the Accounts will belong to the Depositor.
 
(f) Upon the presentation and surrender of the related Certificates, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the remaining related Certificateholders, pursuant to the written direction of the Securities Administrator and in accordance with their respective interests, all related distributable amounts remaining in the Distribution Account. Upon deposit by the Master Servicer of such distributable amounts, and following such final Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall release promptly to the Depositor or its designee the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Distribution Account shall terminate, subject to the Paying Agent’s obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions pursuant to this Subsection 10.01(f).
 
(g) If not all of the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Paying Agent shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice, not all the related Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or appoint any agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the related remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject to this Agreement.
 
Section 10.02 [Reserved]. 
 
Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements with respect to the Certificates. 
 
(a) If the option of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans and related properties under Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is exercised, the Trust Fund and each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code on any REMIC or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
 
(i) within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, at the written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee, as agent for the respective Tax Matters Persons, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC in the case of a termination under Subsection 10.01(a)(i), provided to it by the Depositor, which meets the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and
 
(ii) the Depositor shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund and the REMICs in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the related Holders thereof hereby (i) agree to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation of the related REMIC upon the written request of the Depositor and to take such action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor and (ii) appoint the Depositor as their attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for purposes of adopting such a plan of complete liquidation. The Trustee shall adopt such plan of liquidation by filing the appropriate statement on the final tax return of each REMIC. Upon complete liquidation or final distribution of all of the assets of the Trust Fund, the Trust Fund and REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall terminate.
 
 
 




 
 
ARTICLE XI
 
Miscellaneous Provisions
 
Section 11.01 Intent of Parties. 
 
The parties intend that each of REMIC I and REMIC II shall be treated as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and that the provisions of this Agreement should be construed in furtherance of this intent.
 
Section 11.02 Amendment. 
 
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, but without notice to or the consent of any of the related Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein, to comply with any changes in the Code, to revise any provision to reflect the obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation AB or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any related Certificateholder or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee but not at the Trustee’s expense.
 
(b) With respect to the Certificates, this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the related Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding, or (iii) cause any related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee which shall be provided to the Trustee other than at the Trustee’s expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this first paragraph of Section 11.02(b), Certificates registered in the name of or held for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to vote their Fractional Undivided Interests with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
 
(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment or written notification of the substance of such amendment to each related Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.
 
(d) In the case of an amendment under the second paragraph of Subsection 11.02(b) above, it shall not be necessary for the related Certificateholders to approve the particular form of such an amendment. Rather, it shall be sufficient if the related Certificateholders approve the substance of the amendment. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by related Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
 
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s own respective rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
 
Section 11.03 Recordation of Agreement. 
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Depositor shall effect such recordation, at the expense of the Trust upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.
 
Section 11.04 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. 
 
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
 
(b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Certificateholders shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to establish the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholders be under any liability to any third Person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
 
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon, under or with respect to this Agreement against the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such parties unless (i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a continuing default, as herein provided, (ii) the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs and expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and (iii) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding.
 
(d) No one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other Certificateholders or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
 
Section 11.05 Acts of Certificateholders. 
 
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.05.
 
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(c) The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Certificate presented in accordance with Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the holder of any Certificate shall bind every future holder of the same Certificate and the holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
 
(e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor’s right to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.
 
Section 11.06 Governing Law. 
 
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY RELY UPON IN THE CHOICE OF SUCH LAW AS THE GOVERNING LAW HEREUNDER) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_]-[A]-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
[Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement.] The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount [(of interest and] principal[, if any)] required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.]
 
[Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the 25th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which that Distribution Date occurs on the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.]

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. [The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
 

 





IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES 2006-1
 
evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class B-[_] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that [_______] is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC as seller (the “Seller”), SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
[No transfer of this Class B-[_] Certificate will be made unless such transfer is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Agreement. In the event that such transfer is to be made the Securities Administrator shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has provided the Securities Administrator with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the transferor has advised the Securities Administrator in writing that the Certificate is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Securities Administrator an Investment Letter; provided that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above are met sufficient to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws.]
 
[Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Plan”), or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-30, as amended from time to time (“Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc. or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account”, as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]
 
[This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60 or PTE 96-23 and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which will be deemed represented by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the opinion specified in section 5.07 of the Agreement is provided.]
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
 



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as master servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of principal required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
 




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class R-[__] Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund (as defined below) consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
 
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement’), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
 
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to SAMI II, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.
 
This certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the proposed transferee provides the Securities Administrator with an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and on which they may rely (which shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator) which is acceptable to the Securities Administrator, that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and will not give rise to any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
 
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of the Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
 
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans and as securities administrator (the “Master Servicer” and the “Securities Administrator, which terms includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Master Servicer and securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Notional Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as further described in the Agreement. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Notional Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the certificate registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
 
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
 



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
In connection with our purchase of the [Privately Offered Certificates], we confirm that:
 
 
(i)
we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;
 
 
(ii)
any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;
 
 
(iii)
we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;
 
 
(iv)
we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;
 

 
(v)
we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;
 
 
(vi)
we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:
 
(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Securities Administrator) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and

(the “Securities Administrator”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;
 
 
(vii)
we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
 
 
(viii)
we either: (i) are not acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) are providing a representation to the effect that the proposed transfer and holding of a Privately Offered Certificates and the servicing, management and operation of the Trust and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14, PTE 91-38, PTE 90-1, PTE 95-60, or PTE 96-23 and (II) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or (iii) have attached hereto the opinion specified in Section 5.07 of the Agreement.

ARTICLE I
 
DEFINITIONS
 
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.
 
 
ARTICLE II
 
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
 
Section 2.1.  Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
 
Section 2.2.  Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.
 
Section 2.3.  Review of Mortgage Files.
 
(a)  On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).
 
(b)  Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
 
(c)  Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.
 
(d)  In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.
 
Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.
 
Section 2.4.  Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related Servicer and the Trustee.
 
Section 2.5.  Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.
 
Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a request for release (a “Request for Release”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer, the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.
 
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the related Servicer, (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer) shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the 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 non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
 
At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered on the MERS System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note by the Trustee shall be required. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer.
 
Section 2.6.  Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
 
 
ARTICLE III
 
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN
 
Section 3.1.  Custodian as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.
 
Section 3.2.  Custodian May Own Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.
 
Section 3.3.  Master Servicer to Pay Custodian’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.4.  Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
 
The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicer, or the Depositor.
 
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.5.  Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
Section 3.6.  Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.
 
 
ARTICLE IV
 
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB
 
Section 4.1.  Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
 
Section 4.2.  Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.
 
(a)  The Custodian hereby represents and warrants that the information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Certificates - The Custodians” (the “Custodian Disclosure”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(b)  The Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor as of the date hereof and on each date on which information is provided to the Depositor under Section 4.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its Custodian obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the custodian; (ii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it; and (iii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Custodian with respect to the Depositor or any sponsor, seller, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Depositor to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a “Transaction Party”).
 
(c)  If so requested by the Depositor on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from the Depositor shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.
 
Section 4.3.  Additional Information to Be Provided by the Custodian. For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor a written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required under this Section 4.3 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor or Master Servicer files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates, the Custodian will be deemed to represent that any information previously provided under this Section 4.3, if any, is materially correct and does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has provided an update to such information.
 
Section 4.4.  Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March 15 of each calendar year, the Custodian shall:
 
(i)  deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor) regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Custodian, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Four hereto; and
 
(ii)  deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Custodian and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
 
Section 4.5.  Indemnification; Remedies.
 
The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, each affiliate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of the Certificates or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
 
(1)  (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in the Custodian Disclosure and any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material provided under this Article IV by or on behalf of the Custodian (collectively, the “Custodian Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
 
(2)  any failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV.
 
(iii)  In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a), the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all costs reasonably incurred by the Depositor in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian.

The Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(d)  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 180 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof) the Trustee will review or cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller of such Material Defect. The Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
 
(e)  At the time of any substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to the Seller and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
 
  Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
 
(a)  The Seller shall cause each assignment of the Security Instrument from the Seller to the Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust related to such Classes, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Seller.
 
(b)  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b)  The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser’s Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser’s Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller, and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.
 
(d)  If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 13, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
(e)  The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

APPENDIX E - Standard & Poor’s Predatory Lending Categories
 
Standard & Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the industry.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.

References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrant to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b) The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors.

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; and, as of the related Closing Date, there has been no more than one delinquency during the related preceding twelve-month period, and such delinquency did not last more than 30 days;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the FNMA or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to FNMA or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company, the Mortgagor, or, to the best of Company's knowledge, on the part of any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Either the borrower or a guarantor is a natural person. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage (including any fees, costs or expenses related to the registration of the Mortgage Loans with MERS, if applicable) were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are on forms generally acceptable in the industry. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) No Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by waste, fire, earthquake, earth movement, windstorm, tornado, flood or other casualty.

There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.

No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser.

The Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

(hh) The assignment of Mortgage (unless the Mortgage is registered with MERS in accordance with Subsection 2.07) is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal (other than with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans) and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization;

Section 3.03 Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and, at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all affected Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and, at Purchaser’s sole option, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan; provided however, that in the event that any Mortgage Loan was part of a securitization, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution shall be made. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall be acceptable to Purchaser. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substituted date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the FNMA Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Agency Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issuer, if required. In no event shall Company be obligated to repurchase a Mortgage Loan due to the exercise of any Conversion Feature.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with respect to a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within 5 Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a written request for consent for such matter from Company as Company.
 
Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to restoration expenses in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and prior to the rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90 days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within two years after becoming an REO Property. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale, and if such REO Property has been securitized, the Company shall consult with any applicable master servicer with respect to such securitization so that the foregoing will be in compliance with the applicable securitization’s structure. Moreover, pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, if such REO Property has been securitized, the Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code after consultation with the applicable master servicer for the related securitization.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts.

The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the FNMA Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, it being understood that for those Mortgage Loans in foreclosure, Company shall recover for Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees through the completion of foreclosure and disposition of the REO Property; such recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation; provided, however that any such lender paid mortgage insurance coverage may also be terminated without approval by Purchaser in the event that such coverage is terminated in accordance with the Mortgagor’s Mortgage Note, Mortgage, or any riders or addenda thereto. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as Company, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the FNMA Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company 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. The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within thirty business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee 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 Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the FNMA Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services (the “Administrative Fee”) shall be $1,500 to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the FNMA Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser at Purchaser’s request.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the FNMA Guides.

PAYMENTS TO THE PURCHASER

Section 5.01 Distributions.

On each Remittance Date, the Company shall distribute by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus, (iii) interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on any Principal Prepayment from the date of such Principal Prepayment through the end of the month for which disbursement is made provided that the Company’s obligation as to payment of such interest shall be limited to the Servicing Fee earned during the month of the distribution, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the related Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Company, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, which report, in hard copy, shall contain the following:

(i) With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);

(ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest;

(iii) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Company during the prior distribution period;

(iv) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(v) the aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Company during the prior distribution period pursuant to Section 4.05;

(vi) The number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired; and

The Company shall also provide a trial balance, sorted in Purchaser's assigned loan number order with each such Report.

The Company shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Company shall provide Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Company.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Company, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to Company and Purchaser. The Company shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser may reasonably require.


ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Company 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 Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or 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. Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any assumption for which Purchaser was given notification and requested to consent, but for which neither a consent nor an objection was given by Purchaser within five Business Days of such notification.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the FNMA Guides. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company 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 Mortgage File and 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. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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.





Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of       Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than three Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such 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 Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Purchaser as of September 30th of each year, beginning with 2001, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company 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 officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days of Company's fiscal year end the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements upon execution by Purchaser of an agreement to keep confidential the contents of such financial statements.

Section 6.06 Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

If it has not already done so, the Company shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above; provided, however, that prior to furnishing such statements or information to any prospective purchaser, the Company may require such prospective purchaser to execute a confidentiality agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company.

The Company shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Company has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.


ARTICLE VIII

THE COMPANY

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party against Company with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any reasonable written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

Unless the Purchaser is notified in writing that the Company intends to change its status as a federal savings bank (such notice shall be given by the Company to Purchaser one month prior to such change), the Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a federal savings bank under federal law except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a FNMA or FHLMC approved Seller/Servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04 Company Not to Assign or Resign.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.02, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) any failure by the Company to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two Business Days after the earlier of the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Purchaser or the date upon which such non-payment is discovered by Company; or

(ii) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Purchaser; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Company and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(iv) the Company shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v) the Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) Company ceases to be approved by both FNMA and FHLMC as a mortgage loan Company and Company for more than thirty days; or

(vii) the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof; or

(viii) the Company ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(ix) the Company fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice, all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Successor to the Company.

Prior to termination of Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii) or 10.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of Company's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The Company shall be compensated in accordance with this Agreement up until the effective date of its termination or resignation. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.

The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor Company.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

(c) An assessment by such officer of the Company’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Company, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Company’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Company, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Company, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto delivered to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, on or before March 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Company, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

20. Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 9.01 and replacing it with the following (new text underlined):

(ii) any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Section 11.18, including particularly any failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 11.18, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 11.19 any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

(iii) any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01 or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(q) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Pass-Through Transfer, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(q) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or

(iv) the negligence bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with its performance under this Section 11.18.

In the case of any claim involving Regulation AB Losses instituted involving any untrue statement of a material fact alleged to be contained in any Company Information, the Purchaser shall notify the Company and the Company may, but only with the written approval of the Purchaser in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, retain counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser to represent the Purchaser with respect to the Regulation AB Losses (provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation), and the Company shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such claim. If the Company assumes the defense of such proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the written consent of the Purchaser (in its sole discretion) or, if such settlement provides for release of the Purchaser in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the Purchaser in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the Purchaser.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described above, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, and with respect thereto this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 2.02. Maintenance of Servicing Files.
 
The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Servicer is for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Note, the Mortgage, all other Mortgage Loan Documents and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Owner as the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the related Servicing Files retained by the Servicer shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loans by the Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the related Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Owner, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer's servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written instructions shall not be required.
 
Section 2.03. Books and Records.
 
The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Owner. In particular, the Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Owner, or its designee and shall deliver to the Owner upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, including but not limited to documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by Fannie Mae and periodic inspection reports as required by Section 4.13. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide.
 
The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Owner or its designee the related Servicing File (or copies thereof) during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
 
Section 2.04. Transfer of Mortgage Loans.
 
No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.12, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner hereunder binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an assignment and assumption of this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. The Owner shall advise the Servicer in writing of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted transfer, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Owner from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.
 
Section 2.05. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
 
The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within 4 week(s) of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within 4 week(s) after its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 180 days of its execution. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter.
 
From time to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such request in the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days, any requested Mortgage Loan Document previously delivered to the Custodian, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to the Custodian when the Servicer no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Owner.

ARTICLE IV  
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
 
Section 4.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
 
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner's reliance on the Servicer), and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. In addition, the Servicer shall furnish information regarding the borrower credit files related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner may, at its option, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default is not reasonably forseeable, unless the Servicer has provided   to the  Owner  a certification addressed to the  Owner, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of  the REMICs and has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal), change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or waive a prepayment penalty or charge. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
 
The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer must be a Fannie Mae approved seller/servicer or a Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers by Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.
 
At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.
 
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
 
Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Owner to pay such subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.
 
Section 4.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with diligence to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
The Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.
 
With respect to Mortgage Loans affected by Hurricane Katrina, if the Mortgaged Property is located in public and individual assistance counties as designated by FEMA (as set forth on its website www.fema.gov), the Servicer may cease charging of late fees and credit reporting activity for all Mortgagors in certain counties until May 1, 2006, and if reasonably prudent, may extend such period as long as necessary. In addition, the Servicer may suspend all foreclosure and bankruptcy activity relating to such certain Mortgage Loans until May 1, 2006, and if reasonably prudent, may extend such period as long as necessary.
 
Section 4.03. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guide, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. In determining the delinquency status of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will use Delinquency Recognition Policies in accordance with the terms set forth in the related pooling and servicing agreement. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 4.04.  Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
 
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in a Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer). Custodial Accounts will be reconciled within 45 days. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt and identification of funds and retain therein the following payments and collections:
 
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and penalties, on the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date;
 
(iv) any net amounts received by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;
 
(v) all Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08 and 4.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the Cut-off Date other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vii) any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;
 
(viii) any amounts received after the Cut-off Date and required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 6.02; and
 
(ix) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment received after the Cut-off Date, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer's aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, and all Prepayment Interest Excess need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.
 
Section 4.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
 
The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
 
(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made;
 
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date related to such Mortgage Loan;
 
(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date) and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment recovery attributable to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;
 
(v) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;
 
(vi) to transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;
 
(vii) to reimburse itself as provided in Section 8.03 hereof;
 
(viii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account in error by the Servicer; and
 
(ix) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.06. Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
 
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in an Escrow Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.
 
The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds and retain therein:
 
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this Agreement;
 
(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and
 
(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.
 
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. Except as provided in Section 4.07, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified Depository.
 
Section 4.07. Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:
 
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items;
 
(ii) to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
 
(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO Property;
 
(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;
 
(vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
 
(vii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;
 
(viii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and
 
(ix) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.
 
As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
 
Section 4.08. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges, Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor when due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
 
The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to an amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary 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 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
 
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.09. Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer. If any one of the investment ratings of a Qualified Depository holding funds or Eligible Investments in the Custodial Account or Escrow Account is downgraded by the issuing rating agency, the Servicer shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of notice of the downgrading, transfer all such accounts, funds and Permitted Investments to a different Qualified Depository in accordance with this Agreement.
 
Section 4.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
 
Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring against hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, the Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Owner, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 4.12. 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 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage 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 forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance 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 Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 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 Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.
 
Section 4.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.
 
The Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition, unless a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held and (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer's expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period. 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 Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold or managed in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as "foreclosure property" within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on "net income from foreclosure property" with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
 
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof. The Servicer shall maintain separate records with respect to each REO Property identifying all deposits and withdrawals from the Custodial Account for each REO Property.
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on each Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Owner shall reasonably request.
 
The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.
 
The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.
 
Section 4.14.Notification of Adjustments.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Owner such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner thereby.
 
ARTICLE V  
PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER
 
Section 5.01. Remittances.
 
On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding the Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except (a) Full Principal Prepayments received on or before the 15th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the Remittance Date of such month, and (b) Full Principal Prepayments received after the 15th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant to Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected after the Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last day of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.
 
With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be remitted to the Owner by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.
 
Section 5.02 Statements to the Owner and the Master Servicer.
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner and the Master Serivcer an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a ”Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month and the end of the related Prepayment Period, as applicable, in the Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, such Report shall be received by the Owner and the Master Servicer no later than the tenth calendar day of the month of the related Remittance Date (or, with respect to information as to Full Principal Prepayments and prepayment penalties no later than one (1) Business Day after the end of each Prepayment Period), a report in an Excel (or compatible) electronic format, in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and which shall provide the information required to be contained in the monthly statements to certificateholders as specified in the related pooling and servicing Agreement, to the extent applicable to the Servicer.
 
In addition, the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Owner such other information known or available to the Servicer that is necessary in order to provide the distribution and pool performance information as required under Regulation AB, as amended from time to time, as determined by the Owner in its sole discretion. The Servicer shall also provide a monthly report, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, or such other form as is mutually acceptable to the Servicer, the Owner and the Master Servicer, Exhibit F with respect to defaulted mortgage loans and Exhibit K, with respect to realized losses and gains, with each such report.
 
The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Owner or the Master Servicer pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Owner and the Master Servicer with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner and the Master Servicer to prepare its federal income tax return as Owner and the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time.
 
In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner and the Master Servicer at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such year.
 
Section 5.03. Monthly Advances by the Servicer.
 
Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date.
 
The "Amount Held for Future Distribution" as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date.
 
The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 5.04. Liquidation Reports.
 
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in--lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.
 
ARTICLE VI  
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 6.01. Assumption Agreements.
 
The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a 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 Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or 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 connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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.
 
Section 6.02. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner's option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
 
In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within one Business Day to the Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have 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 non-judicially, and the Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.
 
Section 6.03. Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicer's Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges, Prepayment Charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.
 
Section 6.04. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Certification.
 
(a) The Servicer will deliver to the Owner and the Master Servicer, not later than March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Owner upon request and by the Owner to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
 
(b) With respect to the Mortgage Loans, by March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Certification”) to the Owner, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer or a Subcontractor, to the extent such party is “participating in the servicing function” pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Certification of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer and Subcontractor, to the extent such party is “participating in the servicing function” pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
 
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 6.09(b) or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
 
Upon request by the Owner or the Master Servicer, the Servicer will deliver to such requesting party a copy of the audited (if such financial statements are available, otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the Servicer for the most recent fiscal year of the Servicer.

Section 6.08. Non-solicitation.
 
The Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner, its successors and assigns, any agent of the Owner, and the Master Servicer, and hold each of such Persons harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner or other indemnified Person if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and such Person) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or such other indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner and such other indemnified Person shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner and such other indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner and such other indemnified Person from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
 
The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.
 
Section 8.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
 
Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 8.04. Servicer Not to Resign.
 
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.
 
Section 8.05. No Transfer of Servicing.
 
With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.

(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for one (1) Business Day after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or
 
(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement (other than those described in clause (ix) hereof), the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or
 
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or
 
(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi) the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (to the extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which they operate on the date hereof) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions; or
 
(vii) the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or
 
(viii) the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or
 
(ix) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04, 6.09 or any of clauses (v) through (viii) of Section 10.02;
 
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Pass-Through Transfer, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer for such Pass-Through Transfer) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
 
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, if the termination and/or transfer of servicing is for cause related to a servicer default. 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.
 
Section 9.02. Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Owner may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

ARTICLE XI  
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
Section 11.01. Successor to the Servicer.
 
Prior to termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
 
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
 
The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.
 
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Owner of such appointment.
 
All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with replacing the Servicer upon its resignation or the termination of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, shall be payable on demand by the resigning or terminated Servicer without any right of reimbursement therefor.
 
Section 11.02. Amendment.
 
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Owner by written agreement signed by the Servicer and the Owner.

Section 11.04. Governing Law.
 
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation.

(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date;

(b) The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

(c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(d) There are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;

(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;

(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under Fannie Mae or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;

(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;

(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;

(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

(q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future date;

(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;

(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;

(x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown provision;

(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Mort-gage Note requires a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh) Unless set forth in the related Term Sheet, in the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, either (i) the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) the Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, as applicable, have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage; With respect to any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

(ii) The Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(jj) Unless otherwise specified in the related Term Sheet, none of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate.

Any condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(kk) Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears. Each of the Mortgage Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization;

(ll) As of the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(mm) There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

(nn) The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(pp) The Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;

(qq) None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans; 

(rr)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan;

(ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.

Section 3.03 Repurchase; Substitution.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date

The Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contriburions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Company shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Company as servicer.

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Company shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

In no event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Company will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

The Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated or a notice of default sent within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours of receipt, shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13 and in connection therewith, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written detail itemizing all of such amounts;

(v) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;

(vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vii) any Monthly Advances;

(viii) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Company’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Prepayment Period;

(x) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Custodial Account.


Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the CustodialAccount.

The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees(or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;

(iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined,

(vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Company; and

(vi) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.


Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts;
Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.


Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by Company only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;

(ii) to reimburse Company for any Servicing Advance made by Company with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;

(vii)  to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Company shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor; and

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment
Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions
Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company 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 Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee 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 Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Company receives notice of such consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services shall be $2,000 to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.

The Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Company shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids.

Section 4.14 Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

Section 5.01 Distributions.

On each Remittance Date, the Company shall distribute by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus, (iii) interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on any Principal Prepayment from the date of such Principal Prepayment through the end of the month for which disbursement is made provided that the Company’s obligation as to payment of such interest shall be limited to the Servicing Fee earned during the month of the distribution, plus (iv) unless otherwise stated in the related Confirmation or related Term Sheet, any amount received by the Company that represents a prepayment penalty with respect to a Mortgage Loan, minus (v) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Purchaser.

The Company shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Company's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Company, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the following:

(i) With respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);

The Company shall also provide a trial balance, sorted in Purchaser's assigned loan number order, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, with each such Report.

The Company shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Company.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Company, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Company 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 Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, 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. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or 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 connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company 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 Mortgage File and 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. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the 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 non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such 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 Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company beginning in March 2002, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company 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 officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Within ninety (90) days of Company's fiscal year end beginning in March 2002 the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements.

Section 6.06 Purchaser's Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, or any other similar regulations.

Section 7.01 Company Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Company under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Company under this Agreement. Such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation furnished to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be at the expense of the Purchaser. The Company agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Company for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it has not already done so, the Company shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above.

The Company shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Company’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Company has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.




ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement.

The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer the Mortgages in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC and/or BIF, and which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Fannie Mae or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing; provided, further, however, that the Company shall give sixty (60) days written notice to the Purchaser of any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or of any Person succeeding to the business of the Company, and the Purchaser, at it sole option, shall make the determination as to whether such successor of the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

With respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Company shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

(ii) Any failure by the Company, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 4 or 5, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 6(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date of written notice from the Master Servicer shall constitute an Event of Default (notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) with respect to the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company except for reimbursing the Company for any servicing advances that the Company actually made as servicer pursuant to this Agreement and rights arising prior to such termination; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
 
(iii) The Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Company 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 Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
 
(c) Notification and Cooperation. The parties hereto further agree, and any Indemnified Party not a party hereto is deemed to agree, as a condition to its reliance on such indemnification, that the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7 are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written notice to the Company within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party receives notice of an indemnifiable claim provided that failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not invalidate the Company’s obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Party except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party or its ability to defend such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden of proving such material prejudice;
(ii) The Company shall undertake the defense of the action or claim with counsel or other representatives of its own choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (which counsel shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party);
(iii) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate and assist in, but not control, the defense of such claim and employ separate counsel in any action or claim, at the expense of the Indemnified Party (i.e., at its own expense), provided that if the interests of the Company and the Indemnified Party diverge, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Company’s expense, provided such expense is reasonable; and
(iv) The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim suit or action against the Indemnified Party without the express prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies under the Agreement and remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive relief, the rights under this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Section 7 (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or therein).

(e) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated under this Section 7 to indemnify an Indemnified Party otherwise entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any indemnifiable claims or losses to the extent that such claims or losses result directly from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent acts of the Indemnified Party.

(f) The parties hereto agree that any written notice under this Section 7 may be made via email.

Section 8 Third Party Beneficiary.
 
For purposes of this Article I and any related provisions thereto, each Master Servicer shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to all the rights and benefits hereof as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

(3)
other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

   
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

With respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;

(l)    Full Disbursement of Proceeds.

   
The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.

The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;

(p)    LTV, PMI Policy.

   
Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and related Electronic Data File. Except as indicated on the Electronic Data File, those Mortgage Loans with an LTV greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgage pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV is decreased to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC 4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy and LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such PMI Policy and LPMI Policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or in the case of an LPMI Policy, obligates the Company, thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. No prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy;

(q)    Title Insurance.

   
The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Paragraph (k) of this Section 3.02, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. The Company is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(r)    No Defaults.

   
There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(s)    No Mechanics' Liens.

   
There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage which are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above;

(t)    Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.

   
Except as insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

 
(u)
Payment Terms.

   
Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than 2.00% on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. Each adjustable rate Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided however, with respect to any Interest Only Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Note allows a Monthly Payment of interest only during the period prior to the first Adjustment Date and upon the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment of principal and interest, sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an adjustment date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization;

(v)    Customary Provisions.

   
The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

(w)    Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.

   
As of the date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law;

(x)    No Additional Collateral.

   
The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account, except as indicated on the Electronic Data File, or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (k) above;

(y)    Deeds of Trust.

   
In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(z)    Acceptable Investment.

   
The Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(aa)     Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

   
If the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(bb)    Mortgaged Property Undamaged.

   
The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended;

(cc)    Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits.

   
The origination and collection practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have been in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Company and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;

(dd)     No Condemnation.

   
There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;

(ee)    The Appraisal.

   
The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property. As to each Time$aver® Mortgage Loan, the appraisal may be from the original of the existing Company-serviced loan, which was refinanced via such Time$aver® Mortgage Loan. The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(ff)    Insurance.

   
The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, and (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full insurable value and (C) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;

 
(gg)
Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act.

   
The Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act, as amended;

 
(hh)
No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.

   
The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

The Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due on such Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the related Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note.

The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company and if required under Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property;
   
(iii)
The Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(nn)
No Bankruptcy.

No Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, as of the related Closing Date, the Company has not received notice that any Mortgagor is a debtor under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

Section 3.03 Repurchase.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Custodial Mortgage Files or Retained Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and the Company discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Company shall, if the breach cannot be cured, at the Purchaser's option and provided that the Company has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Company has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan within ninety (90) days of the written notice of the breach or the failure to cure, whichever is later. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. If the Company repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System to remove the Purchaser as the beneficial holder with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Company shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section 2.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.03. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Company. With respect to any Deleted Mortgage loan, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Company shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Company in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Company substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Company shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Company shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Company representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 3.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) failures by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

In the event a Mortgage Loan pays off in full on or before the related Closing Date, the Company must repay the Purchaser the difference between the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of pay off and the Unpaid Principal Balance multiplied by the purchase price percentage adjusted, if necessary in accordance with the Commitment Letter.

 
ARTICLE IV
 
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of a Subcontractor, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Company shall be responsible for any and all acts of a Subcontractor, and the Company’s utilization of a Subcontractor shall in no way relieve the liability of the Company under this Agreement. 

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may 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 in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Company shall not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Company, imminent and the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Purchaser's reliance on the Company.

The Company is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Company believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, with written consent of the Purchaser, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the financing statements and shall file and such financing statements and continuation statements as necessary, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security interest and lien of the Purchaser.

The Company shall apply any Principal Prepayment on an Interest Only Mortgage Loan to the then-outstanding principal balance, at which time the interest-only payment feature shall be extinguished. The related Monthly Payment shall thereafter consist of both principal and interest components, and the amount of such Monthly Payment shall not change prior to the next Adjustment Date.

Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company's intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. The cost for such inspection or review shall be borne by the Purchaser. Upon completion of the inspection or review, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the related Cut-off Date until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans - P & I." The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Custodial Account. Any funds deposited into the Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within one (1) Business Day of Company’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date, or received by the Company prior to the related Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

(ix)
any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy;

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 4.09 Protection of Accounts.

The Company may transfer the Custodial Account, the Subsidy Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time with prior written notice to Purchaser.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the Company shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 4.11 hereof.

If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance with applicable law that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf, as permitted by applicable law.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Fannie Mae requirements, and secure from the owner's association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.
 
In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor's attention the required amount of coverage for the Mortgaged Property and if the Mortgagor does not obtain such coverage, the Company shall immediately force place the required coverage on the Mortgagor’.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company's normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Company shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Company in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Company's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate of insurance 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 such Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity requiring such Persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Company Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be with a company acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and in amounts at least equal to the amounts acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.13 Inspections.

If any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Company immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a record of each such inspection and shall provide the Purchaser with copies of such upon request.

Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i)
the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
   
(ii)
the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
   
(iii)
the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and
   
(iv)
pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims.

Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and Electronic Data File. Except as indicated on the Electronic Data File, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with an LTV in excess of 80% at the time of origination, the Company shall, without any cost to the Purchaser maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy insuring a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as to payment defaults. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC 4901, et seq. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy and LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy or LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy or LPMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser, or in the event the Purchaser 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 Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser.

The Purchaser shall have the option to manage and operate the REO Property provided the Purchaser gives written notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after such REO Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The election by the Purchaser to manage the REO Property shall not constitute a termination of any rights of the Company pursuant to Section 11.02. Upon the Company's receipt of such written notice, it shall be relived of any obligation to manage, conserve, protect, operate, dispose or sell the Mortgaged Property for the Purchaser, or its designee. All such duties will become the obligation of the Purchaser, or its designee. In such connection, upon the Mortgaged Property being acquired on behalf of the Purchaser, or its designee, the Company shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to transfer management of the REO Property to Purchaser, or its designee, and shall immediately submit a statement of expenses to the Purchaser for reimbursement within 30 days for all Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances. If Company does not receive reimbursement of such expenses from the Purchaser within the 30-days of the statement of expenses, Company shall be permitted to withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

In the event the Purchaser does not elect to manage an REO Property, the Company shall manage, conserve and protect the related REO Property for the Purchaser. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.

The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Company as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement among the Company and Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. On the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Company shall withdraw the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Company, or the Company itself. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in the Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code. The Company shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the Code.

Section 4.20 Application of Buydown Funds.

With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall have deposited into the Escrow Account, no later than the last day of the month, Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on all Due Dates in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payments which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (without regard to the related Buydown Agreement as if the Mortgage Loan were not subject to the terms of the Buydown Agreement). With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company will distribute to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date an amount of Buydown Funds equal to the amount that, when added to the amount required to be paid on such date by the related Mortgagor, pursuant to and in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement, equals the full Monthly Payment that would otherwise be required to be paid on such Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as if the Mortgage Loan were not a Buydown Mortgage Loan and without regard to the related Buydown Agreement).

If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Company or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy) the Company shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Purchaser all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Escrow Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in its entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Company shall be required to withdraw from the Escrow Account any Buydown Funds remaining in the Escrow Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Escrow Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Escrow Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

Section 4.21 Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Company shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Company or the receipt of notice from the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Purchaser thereby.

Section 4.22 Confidentiality/Protection of Customer Information.

The Company shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Purchaser's prior written consent, the price paid by the Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent that it is reasonable and necessary for the Company to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies. Each party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer Information and shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Information, including maintaining security measures designed to meet the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 (the “Interagency Guidelines”), if applicable. For purposes of this Section 4.22, the term “Customer Information” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines.

Section 4.23 Fair Credit Reporting Act

The Company, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis.
 
Section 4.24 Establishment of and Deposits to Subsidy Account.  
 
 
The Company shall segregate and hold all Subsidy Funds collected and received pursuant to the Subsidy Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Subsidy Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser, its successors or assigns, and/or subsequent purchasers of residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors.” The Subsidy Account shall be an eligible deposit account established with an eligible institution.
 
 
The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Subsidy Account for the following purposes:
 
(i)
to deposit in the Custodial Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.04(xi);
 
(ii)
to transfer funds to another eligible institution in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;
 
(iii)
to withdraw funds deposited in error; and
 
(iv)
to clear and terminate the Subsidy Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ the Escrow Account as the Subsidy Account to the extent that the Company can separately identify any Subsidy Funds deposited therein.
 

Section 4.25 Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

The Company shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Company complies with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.25. The Company 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 Company under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Company complies with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.25.

(a) It shall not be necessary for the Company to seek the consent of the Purchaser or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. The Company shall cause any Subservicer used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.25 and with Sections 6.04, 6.06, 9.01(e)(iii), 9.01(e)(v) and 9.01(f) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Company, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 9.01(e)(iv) of this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.04 and any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.06 and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 6.06 as and when required to be delivered.

(b) It shall not be necessary for the Company to seek the consent of the Purchaser or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Company shall promptly upon request provide to the Purchaser 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 Purchaser and such Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Company or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) 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 Company shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.06 and 9.01(f) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Company. The Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 6.06, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.04(viii); minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, and minus (e) any amounts attributable to Buydown Funds being held in the Custodial Account, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds within one Business Day following agreement by the Purchaser and the Company of the penalty amount. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 5.02 Statements to Purchaser.

Not later than the Remittance Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a monthly remittance advice in the standard form of electronic Alltel® file, as to the period ending on the last day of the preceding month. If requested by the Purchaser prior to the related Closing Date, the first monthly remittance advice due to the Purchaser following such Closing Date shall be furnished by the 12th calendar day, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the preceding Business Day.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by Company.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Company by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Company determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are non-recoverable by the Company from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, or otherwise with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Company determines that any such advances are non-recoverable, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate signed by two officers of the Company evidencing such determination.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, immediately notify the Purchaser and exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise 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 PMI Policy, if any.

If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation.

The Mortgage Loans will be delivered pursuant to the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.  Mortgage Schedules. The Seller will provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement for each Transaction (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule"). Each Mortgage Loan Schedule shall conform to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 4.  Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Loan Package (the "Purchase Price") shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Commitment Letter, multiplied by the aggregate principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed in the related Loan Package, after application of scheduled payments of principal for such related Loan Package due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. The purchase price for a Loan Package may be adjusted as stated in the related Commitment Letter.

In addition to the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the initial principal amount of the Mortgage Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for each Loan Package from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

With respect to each Loan Package, the Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus interest at the Servicing Fee Rate) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser.

SECTION 5.  Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to each Closing Date, the Seller shall (a) deliver to the Purchaser in escrow, for examination, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser for examination at the Seller's offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or by any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser, at any time before or after such related Closing Date, upon prior reasonable notice to the Seller. The fact that the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

Prior to Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to act as bailee for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Seller pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and act only in accordance with Seller’s instructions. Upon the Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall provide notification to the Custodian to release ownership of the Mortgage Loan Documents contained in the Custodial Mortgage File. Such notification shall be in a form of a written notice by facsimile or other electronic media, with a copy sent to the Purchaser. Subsequent to such release, such Mortgage Loan Documents shall be retained by the Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser. All Mortgage Loan Documents related to Mortgage Loans not purchased by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, shall be maintained by the Custodian for the benefit of the Seller and shall be returned to the Seller within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Seller. The Seller agrees and acknowledges that it shall, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, make the representations and warranties specified in Section 3.01 and 3.02 of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, as of each related Closing Date. The meaning of the term "Agreement" as used in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement shall include this Agreement. The Seller, without conceding that the Mortgage Loans are securities, hereby makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements which shall be deemed to have been made as of the related Closing Date:

a) neither the Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act or which would render the disposition of any Mortgage Loans a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and

b) the Seller has not dealt with any broker or agent or anyone else who might be entitled to a fee or commission in connection with this transaction other than the Purchaser.

SECTION 7.  Representation, Warranties and Agreement of Purchaser. The Purchaser, without conceding that the Mortgage Loans are securities, hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, which shall have been deemed to have been made as of the related Closing Date.

a) the Purchaser understands that the Mortgage Loans have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state;

b) the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for its own account only and not for any other person;

c) the Purchaser considers itself a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Mortgage Loans;

d) the Purchaser has been furnished with all information regarding the Mortgage Loans which it has requested from the Seller or the Company; and

e) neither the Purchaser nor anyone acting on its behalf offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any Mortgage Loan or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act or which would render the disposition of any Mortgage Loan a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such manner with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 8.  Closing. The closing for the purchase and sale of each Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, the Closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.

The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

a) all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement shall be true and correct as of such related Closing Date and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement or an Event of Default under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

b) the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser's attorneys shall have received in escrow, all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

c) the Seller shall have delivered and released to the Custodian under the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement all documents required pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, and

d) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have been complied with.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller on such related Closing Date the applicable Purchase Price, plus accrued interest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller.

SECTION 9.  Closing Documents. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Closing Documents shall consist of the following documents:

On the initial Closing Date:

1.
the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, in three counterparts;
   
2.
this Agreement in two counterparts;
   
3.
the Custodial Agreement, dated as November 30, 1999, by and between EMC Mortgage Corporation as Owner, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (formerly Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.) attached as an exhibit to the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement;
   
4.
the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the related Loan Package, one copy to be attached to each counterpart of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, to each counterpart of this Agreement, and to each counterpart of the Custodial Agreement, as the Mortgage Loan Schedule thereto;
   
5.
a Receipt and Certification, as required under the Custodial Agreement;
   
6.  
an Opinion of Counsel of the Seller, in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto; and
   
7.  
an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement for the related Mortgage Loans.

On each subsequent Closing Date, the following documents:

1.  
the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the related Loan Package;

2.  
an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement for the related Mortgage Loans; and

3.  
a Receipt and Certification, as required under the Custodial Agreement.


SECTION 10.  Costs. The Purchaser shall pay any commissions due its salesmen, the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys and the costs and expenses associated with the Custodian. The Seller shall be responsible for reasonable costs and expenses associated with any preparation of the initial assignments of mortgage. All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans, including fees for title policy endorsements and continuations and the Seller's attorney fees, shall be paid by the Seller.

SECTION 11.  Servicing The Mortgage Loans shall be serviced by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be entitled to servicing fees calculated as provided therein, at the Servicing Fee Rate.

SECTION 12.  Financial Statements. The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Seller for the most recently completed two fiscal years respecting which such a statement is available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Purchaser shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the seller in a format intended or otherwise suitable for the public at large. The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans in its own portfolio and loans serviced for others (if any), including foreclosure and delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow access to a knowledgeable (as shall be determined by the Seller) financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 13.  Mandatory Delivery. The sale and delivery on each Closing Date of the related Mortgage Loans described on the respective Mortgage Loan Schedules is mandatory, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan must be unique and identifiable on such related Closing Date and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before such related Closing Date. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 14.  Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address shown on the first page hereof, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such demand, notice of communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 15.  Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is as close as possible to the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 16.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 17.  Place of Delivery and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in State of New York. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by Federal Law.

Each of the Seller and the Purchaser hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written), or actions of the Seller or the Purchaser. This provision is a material inducement for the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 18.  Further Agreements. The Purchaser and the Seller each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the initial resales of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. In that connection, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request, and (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser in connection with such resales. The requirement of the Seller pursuant to (ii) above shall terminate on the related Closing Date, except as provided pursuant to Article IX of the Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement. Prior to incurring any out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this paragraph, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the estimated amount of such expense. The Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any such expense following its receipt of appropriate details thereof.

SECTION 19.  Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, an undivided 100% ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

SECTION 20.  Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.

SECTION 21. Waivers; Other Agreements. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 22. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

SECTION 23. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

a) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;

d) a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions;

e) the words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; and

f) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

Re: Mortgage Loan Sale by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Company”) to EMC Mortgage Corporation (the “Purchaser”) of first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser, dated as of November 1, 2005.

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am @ of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and have acted as counsel to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement and Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and EMC Mortgage Corporation (the “Purchaser”), dated as of November 1, 2005, (the “Agreements”), which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement.

I have examined the following documents:

1.  
the Amended and Restated Master Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement;

2.  
the Amended and Restated Master Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement;

3.  
the Custodial Agreement;

4.  
the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

5.  
such other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreements. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that;

1.
The Company is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

2.
The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments.

3.
Each person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed (a) the Agreements, each dated as of November 1, 2005, by and between the Company and the Purchaser, and (b) any other document delivered prior hereto or on the date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Agreements was, at the respective times of such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting as such officer or attorney-in-fact, and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.

4.
Each of the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of insolvency, liquidation, convervatorship and other similar laws administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation affecting the enforcement of contract obligations of insured banks and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

5.
The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, and by original or facsimile signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.

6.
Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreements, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, and the Custodial Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

7.
Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement, will conflict with or results in or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.

8.
There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreements, and the Custodial Agreement, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements and the Custodial Agreement.

9.
For purposes of the foregoing, I have not regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings to be "threatened" unless the potential litigant or governmental authority has manifested to the legal department of the Company or an employee of the Company responsible for the receipt of process a present intention to initiate such proceedings; nor have I regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings as including those that are conducted by state or federal authorities in connection with their routine regulatory activities. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Agreements is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee, apart from the rights to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Agreements.

10.
The form of endorsement that is to be used with respect to the Mortgage Loans is legally valid and sufficient to duly endorse the Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser. Upon the completion of the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and the completion of the assignments of the Mortgages, and the recording thereof, the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Custodian of the completed assignments of the Mortgages, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian would be sufficient to permit the entity to which such Mortgage Note is initially endorsed at the Purchaser’s direction, and to whom such assignment of Mortgages is initially assigned at the Purchaser’s direction, to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and would be sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable.

This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of its date.

                                            Sincerely,

If so provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, portions of each Mortgage Loan Package shall be priced separately.
 
The Purchase Price as set forth in the preceding paragraph for the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Loan Package shall be paid on the related Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) the principal portion of all Monthly Payments due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected on or after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that the principal portion of all Monthly Payments due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller or any successor servicer after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The Scheduled Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected, together with any unscheduled Principal Prepayments collected prior to the related Cut-off Date; provided, however, that Monthly Payments for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will not alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 2.05. Books and Records.

The Seller shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage Loan Documents no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. If the Seller cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 270 days from the related Closing Date, deliver such original recorded documents to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed within 270 days of the related Closing Date solely because such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the same and indicate in such notice the approximate date on which such documents shall be delivered. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with updated reports as to the status of such documents as necessary thereafter. The Seller shall use its best efforts to effect delivery of all delayed recorded documents within 360 days of the related Closing Date; provided, however, that if such documents are not delivered by the 360th day from the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at Purchaser’s request, repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

(f) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed in connection with such Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies;
 
(g) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(k) With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including for Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note’s original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first or second lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the related First Lien, (2) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (3) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (4) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates (1) with respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest and (2) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien and second priority security interest, in each case, on the property described therein, and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
 
(l) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors generally and the equitable remedy of specific performance and by general equitable principles. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. To the Seller’s knowledge, no fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Seller, the Mortgagor or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.

Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser on the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement;
 
(n) Each Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (k)(1), (2), (3) and (4) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first or second priority lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.

(o) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Seller nor, any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the First Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the prior mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the prior mortgage;
 
(p) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, which are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in paragraph (n) above;
 
(q) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (n) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;
 
(r) The Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Seller. The Mortgage Loan complies with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Underwriting Standards in all material respects. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
 
(s)  At origination of the Mortgage Loan and as of each related Closing Date, the related Mortgaged Property was free of material damage and waste. At origination of the Mortgage Loan and as of each related Closing Date, there was no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;
 
(t) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby.

(u) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage File to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage Loan Document. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. The Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such ninety (90) day period, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all affected Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price.
 
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
 
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, constitutes the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Seller fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, that failure shall, upon compliance by the Purchaser with the next to the last paragraph of this Section 3.03, be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all available remedies. No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 8.01 and 9.01.
 
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Seller or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
 
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection with any repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE IV
 
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
 
Section 4.01. The Seller to Act as Servicer.
 
The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans through the exercise of the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. The Seller may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of this Section; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder by virtue of such delegation.
 
Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Seller.
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Seller, reasonably foreseeable, or the Seller has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification that permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) the otherwise scheduled Monthly Payment and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Purchaser when the Seller believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.13. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date without the prior consent of the Purchaser. Any such agreement shall be approved by any applicable holder of a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if required.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Seller (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Seller, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.
 
The Seller shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Seller shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
 
The Seller is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Seller believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
 
Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if the Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date the Purchaser receives a written request for consent for such matter from the Seller.
 
The Seller shall accurately and fully report its borrower credit files related to the Mortgage Loans to Equifax, Transunion and Experian in a timely manner.
 
Section 4.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be serviced subject to this Agreement, the Seller will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Seller will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
Section 4.03. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance and the best interest of Purchaser, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated pursuant to Fannie Mae guidelines and applicable state law with respect to Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which the Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing (which may be by electronic mail) of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Seller shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Seller shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option, terminate the Seller as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a Monthly Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05, the Seller shall on the date such termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances of the Seller's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, in each case relating to such delinquent Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof shall apply to such termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Seller, with the consent of the Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within three (3) years after becoming an REO Property, unless the Seller provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its becoming REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. The Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser or any master servicer with information sufficient to perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.
 
Section 4.04. Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in a Custodial Account may be drawn on in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent purchaser.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:
 
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
 
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
 
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;
 
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13 and, in connection therewith, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with written detail itemizing all of such amounts;
 
(v) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vii) any Monthly Advances;
 
(viii) Compensating Interest, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;
 
(ix) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05;
 
(x) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor; and
 
(xi) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 6.02.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other ancillary fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account.
 
The Seller may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments designated in the name of the Seller for the benefit of the Seller, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in the Eligible Institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may mature on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on such Remittance Date if the Seller shall advance funds on such Remittance Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the Purchaser) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Seller and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Seller from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller out of its own funds immediately as realized.
 
Section 4.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
 
The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
 
(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fee) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
 
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds;
 
(iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation: (a) any interest earned on funds or any investment earnings in the Custodial Account net of any losses on such investments (all such amounts to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) to the extent not otherwise retained, the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;
 
(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.05 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;
 
(vi) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent not fully reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.05(ii) or (iii) above;
 
(vii) to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;
 
(viii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Seller or for which amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related Mortgagor’s banking institution; and
 
(ix) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.06. Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and retain therein:
 
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;
 
(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and
 
(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.
 
The Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that such Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
 
Section 4.07. Permitted Withdrawals From the Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller only:
 
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items for the related Mortgage;
 
(ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
 
(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
 
(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;
 
(vi) to pay to the Seller, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
 
(vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement;
 
(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;
 
(ix) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Seller or for which amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related Mortgagor’s banking institution; and
 
(x) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.08. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums (if any) and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Sections 4.05(ii), (iii) and (vi). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller reasonably determines that any such Servicing Advance would not be recoverable from amounts collected on the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance. Any such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Purchaser indicating the reasons therefor.
 
The Seller will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Loan-to-Value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to the amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, 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 Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
 
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted first lien Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.09. Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Seller may transfer a Custodial Account or an Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon providing notice of the transfer to the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Seller determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Seller shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if the related Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Seller shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. To the extent the payment of the related premiums will not, in the Seller’s reasonable determination, constitute non-recoverable Servicing Advances, the Seller shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Seller under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Seller or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
 
Section 4.11. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
 
In the event that the Seller (or an affiliate of the Seller) shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an issuer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.12. Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of a mortgage banker’s blanket bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Seller against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller 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 Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guides. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.
 
Section 4.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or other method resulting in full or partial satisfaction of the related Mortgage, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee 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 Seller, at the expense of the Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
 
The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Seller shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue with respect to any REO Property.

The Seller shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File.
 
The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within three (3) years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than three (3) years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement from the Purchaser for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Seller at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Seller deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Seller shall update the Purchaser from time-to-time as to the status of each REO Property.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser’s sole option, terminate the Seller as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05, the Seller shall on the date such termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances of the Seller’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof shall apply to the termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee. Within five (5) Business Days following any such termination, the Seller shall, if necessary, convey such REO Property to the Purchaser and shall provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or broker’s price opinion and copies of any related mortgage impairment insurance policy claims. In addition, within five (5) Business Days following any such termination, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with the following information and documents regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims or repair bids.
 
Section 4.14. Notification of Maturity Date.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

Section 5.01. Distributions.
 
On each Remittance Date, the Seller shall distribute by wire transfer to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus (iii) all payments in respect of Compensating Interest for such Remittance Date required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04(viii), minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts, and any Principal Prepayments received during the month of such Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the next succeeding Remittance Date.
 
With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the second 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 the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.
 
Section 5.02. Statements to the Purchaser.
 
The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Seller’s assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the following month in a format mutually agreed upon by both the Purchaser and the Seller, which report shall contain the following (or such other information as is mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser):
 
(i) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment and a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04);
 
(ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest;
 
(iii) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;
 
(iv) the aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Seller during the prior distribution period pursuant to Section 4.05; and

The Seller shall also provide, upon request, a monthly servicing report, sorted in the Purchaser’s assigned loan number order, in the form of Alltel reports P139, S214, S215 and S50Y and Fidelity report P-4DL (or in such other forms as the Purchaser and the Seller may agree), with each such report.
 
The Seller shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
 
In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.
 
Section 5.03. Monthly Advances by the Seller.
 
Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all Monthly Payments, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, which were due on a Mortgage Loan on the immediately preceding Due Date and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.
 
The Seller’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the earlier of: (i) the date of the termination or resignation, as applicable, of the Seller pursuant to Section 7.04, 8.01 or 9.01 or (ii) the date of final disposition and liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or any Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, unless the Seller reasonably believes such advance to be non-recoverable from proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan. In such event, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller to the effect that an officer of the Seller has reviewed the related Servicing File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are non-recoverable from proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 5.04. Liquidation Reports.
 
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as the Purchaser may reasonably require.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 6.01. Assumption Agreements.
 
The Seller shall, 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 Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller 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. If the Seller is prohibited under applicable law from (a) entering into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed or (b) requiring the original Mortgagor to remain liable under the Mortgage Note, the Seller, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or 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 connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guides. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller 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 Mortgage File and 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. All fees collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Seller as additional servicing compensation.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, 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.
 
Section 6.02. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, 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 Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Seller, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Seller shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than three (3) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Seller the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable Mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
 
In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account.
 
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return such Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File 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 non-judicially, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Seller.
 
Section 6.03. Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges, prepayment penalties (unless otherwise set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter or Assignment and Conveyance), interest and investment earning on funds on deposit in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account (to the extent provided for herein) and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein.
 
Section 6.04. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
 
Within the later of (a) seventy-five (75) days after the end of each calendar year or (b) fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date on which the Purchaser or the affiliate of the Purchaser required to file an annual report on Form 10-K in connection with any Pass-Through Transfer is required to file such annual report on Form 10-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Seller will deliver to the Purchaser an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled in all material respects 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 officers and the nature and status thereof. The first Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be delivered on or before March 15, 2006, or such other date as may be required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.04. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser upon request.
 
Section 6.05. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 
Within the later of (a) seventy-five (75) days after the end of each calendar year or (b) fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date on which the Purchaser or the affiliate of the Purchaser required to file an annual report on Form 10-K in connection with any Pass-Through Transfer is required to file such annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC, the Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Seller’s servicing of residential mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, such firm is of the opinion that the Seller’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with such programs, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. The first statement delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be delivered on or before March 15, 2006, or such other date as may be required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.05. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser.
 
Section 6.06. Purchaser’s Right to Examine Seller Records.
 
At its expense, the Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Seller, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Seller, or held by another for the Seller or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.
 
The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to, OCC, OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Seller which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Seller, and in accordance with the federal government, OCC, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations; provided, however, that in connection with providing such access, the Seller shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement thereof.
 
Section 6.07. Seller Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.
 
The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation as the Purchaser may reasonably request, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Seller under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser; provided, that, the Seller shall not be liable for any out-of-pocket costs with respect to the provision of such reports, information or documentation. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Seller under this Agreement. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
 
The Seller, upon reasonable advance notice, shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Seller’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Seller has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
 
The Seller shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
THE SELLER
 
Section 7.01. Indemnification; Third Party Claims.
 
The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements and to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement. The Seller hereunder shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or a Mortgage Loan, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Seller shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Seller to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller. The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement and transfer of the related servicing rights.
 
Section 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
 
The Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated (including by means of sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the Seller’s assets), or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) an institution who is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.
 
Section 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.
 
The duties and obligations of the Seller shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Seller. Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.
 
Section 7.04. Seller Not to Assign or Resign.
 
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.
 
Section 7.05. No Transfer of Servicing.
 
With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.05, the Seller shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may, without the consent of the Purchaser, retain reasonable and necessary third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including and limited to, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration and foreclosure activities; provided, that such contractors shall perform such servicing and loan administrative functions in a manner consistent with this Agreement; provided, further, that the retention of such contractors by Seller shall not limit the obligation of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or release it from any of its obligations hereunder.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
DEFAULT
 
Section 8.01. Events of Default.
 
In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Seller shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
 
(i) any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or
 
(ii) failure on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or
 
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
 
(iv) the Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
 
(v) the Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
 
(vi) the Seller ceases to be approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac as a mortgage loan seller and servicer for more than thirty (30) days; or
 
(vii) the Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Seller attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof in a manner not permitted under this Agreement; or
 
(viii) the Seller ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in each jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or
 
(ix) failure on the part of the Seller to comply with Section 6.04 or Section 6.05, which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser.
 
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 7.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Seller for the same. On or after the receipt by the Seller of such written notice of termination, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
 
If any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination or resignation (as described in Section 8.04) of the Seller hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the Seller shall cooperate with the successor servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 8.02. Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.
 
ARTICLE IX

(v) to deliver to the Purchaser, and to any Person designated by the Purchaser, opinions of counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser as are customarily delivered by sellers and servicers and reasonably determined by the Purchaser to be necessary in connection with Whole Loan Transfers, Agency Transfers or Pass-Through Transfers, as the case may be, it being understood that the reasonable cost of any opinions of counsel (other than in-house counsel) that may be required for a Whole Loan Transfer, Agency Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer, as the case may be, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser.
 
The Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, costs and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Seller in response to requests for information or assistance under this Section. All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer, Agency Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 9.01(e) is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.
 
Neither the Purchaser, the Master Servicer nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
 
The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Assignor is not assigning to the Assignee any of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Servicing Agreement with respect to any other mortgage loan other than the Assigned Loans. Except as is otherwise expressly provided herein, the Assignor makes no representations, warranties or covenants to the Assignee and the Assignee acknowledges that the Assignor has no obligations to the Assignee under the terms of the Servicing Agreement or otherwise relating to the transaction contemplated herein (including, but not limited to, any obligation to indemnify the Assignee).
 
Assignor acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this AAR Agreement, with respect to the Assigned Loans, the Assignee shall become the “Owner” under the Servicing Agreement, and all representations, warranties and covenants by the “Servicer” to the “Owner” under the Servicing Agreement including, but not limited to, the rights to receive indemnification, shall accrue to Assignee by virtue of this AAR Agreement.
 
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
 
2. Assignor warrants and represents to, and covenants with, Assignee and Company as of the date hereof that:
 
 
a.
Attached hereto as Attachment 2 is a true and correct copy of the Servicing Agreement, which Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and the provisions of which have not been waived, amended or modified in any respect, nor has any notice of termination been given thereunder;
 
 
b.
Assignor was the lawful owner of the Assigned Loans with full right to transfer the Assigned Loans and any and all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement they relate to the Assigned Loans, free and clear from any and all claims and encumbrances; and upon the transfer of the Assigned Loans to Assignee as contemplated herein, Assignee shall have good title to each and every Assigned Loan, as well as any and all of Assignee’s interests, rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement as they relate to the Assigned Loans, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances;
 
 
c.
There are no offsets, counterclaims or other defenses available to the Company with respect to the Servicing Agreement;
 
 
d.
Assignor has no knowledge of, and has not received notice of, any waivers under, or any modification of, any Assigned Loan;
 
 
e.
Assignor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has all requisite power and authority to acquire, own and sell the Assigned Loans;
 
 
f.
Assignor has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this AAR Agreement, and to consummate the transactions set forth herein. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this AAR Agreement is in the ordinary course of Assignor’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Assignor’s charter or by-laws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which Assignor is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Assignor or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by Assignor of this AAR Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of Assignor. This AAR Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Assignor and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by Assignee and the parties hereto, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Assignor enforceable against Assignor in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
 
 
g.
No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by Assignor in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Assignor of this AAR Agreement, or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither Assignor nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Assigned Loans or any interest in the Assigned Loans, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans with any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Assigned Loans under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or which would render the disposition of the Assigned Loans a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto; and
     
  h.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation or litigation pending or, to Assignor's knowledge, threatened, which either in any instance or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to Assignor, would adversely affect Assignor's execution or delivery of, or the enforceability of, this AAR Agreement, or the Assignor's ability to perform its obligations under this AAR Agreement.

Modification of Purchase Agreement
 
8.  The Company and Assignor hereby amend the Purchase Agreement as follows:

(b) The following definition is added to Section 1.01 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement:
 
Prepayment Charge: Any prepayment premium, penalty or charge payable by a Mortgagor in connection with any Principal Prepayment on a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note.
 
(c) The following shall be added as the second paragraph in Section 4.02 of the Purchase, Warranties and Servicing Agreement:
 
“The Company shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default), and (ii) such waiver, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would maximize recovery of total proceeds from the Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. In no event will the Company waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Company is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by remitting such amount to the Master Servicer by the Remittance Date.”

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
 
Definitions
Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Securities Administrator - waterfall calculator
Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets
Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction

Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these functions.
 
Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.
