I have reviewed the activities of the Servicer during the preceding year and the Servicer's performance under the Agreement and to the best of my knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Agreement in all material respects throughout the year, provided however that the Servicer has noted the following material exception: Section 3.10 of the Agreement requires: "On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder..." The practice of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year has been to deposit in the clearing account (which is an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and to thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when as and when received. The Servicer has since adjusted its practices to meet the requirements of the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
