As to each Mortgage Loan, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as of the related Closing Date:

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in each Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent at any time in the twelve months prior to the related Closing Date. The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;

-18-

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgages, 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 an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Company has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is 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 either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

-19-

(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage 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. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal 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 Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Section 4.10. 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 the 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. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. 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 engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or any Subservicer’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, unlawful commission, unlawful kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. 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, and the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, 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;

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes;

-20-

(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(1) the lien of 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 acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or to otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(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. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud was committed by the Company, or to the Company's knowledge by any other person including the Mortgagor, in connection with the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The Company has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and 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 improvement 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;

-21-

(m) Ownership. The Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Company has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan therein to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement;

(n) Doing Business. 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;

(o) LTV, PMI Policy. Any Mortgage Loan with an LTV over 80% has a PMI Policy insuring, as to payment defaults, the excess LTV over 71% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Confirmation) of the Appraised Value until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. All provisions of such PMI 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 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 PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith; provided, that, with respect to LPMI Loans, the Company is obligated thereunder to maintain the 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 Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any insurance premium excluded any premium for the LPMI Policy;

(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is acceptable to mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) 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 (or to the extent that a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), 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, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Section 3.02. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. 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 including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;

-22-

(q) 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;

(r) 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;

(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. 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;

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by either i) the Company, which is a FNMA-approved, FHLMC-approved and HUD-approved mortgage banker, or ii) an entity that is a FNMA-approved, FHLMC-approved and HUD-approved mortgage banker, or a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a Federal or state authority. The interest rate on the related Mortgage Note is adjusted annually in the case of Treasury Rate Mortgage Loans and LIBOR Mortgage Loans on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, subject to the Initial Rate Cap, Periodic Rate Cap and the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap as set forth in the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Interest Rate for a 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan and a 3/1 ARM Mortgage Loan is adjusted annually commencing from and after the sixtieth Monthly Payment and the thirty-sixth Monthly Payment, respectively, in the same manner as a Treasury Rate Mortgage Loan and LIBOR Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that the Periodic Rate Cap does not apply to the initial Interest Rate Adjustment Date for such 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan (the Initial Rate Cap does apply). The Mortgage Note is payable each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest in arrears, and requires Monthly Payments sufficient to amortize the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over a term of no more than 30 years. Each Convertible Mortgage Loan contains a provision whereby the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage Loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a provision for negative amortization;

-23-

(u) 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. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. 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;

(v) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.;

The Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence;

(z) Acceptable Investment. 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 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) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered for the Mortgage Loan by the Company under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto have been delivered to the Custodian. The Company is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit B, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian;

-24-

(ee) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Company, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions currently in effect which may constitute a “buydown” provision.

(ff) Consolidation of Future Advances. 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. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

(gg) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. There is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.

In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Company or any designee of the Company or any corporation in which the Company or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;

Section 3.03

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

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 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 (in the case of any of the foregoing, a “Breach”), the party discovering such Breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Company’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Company or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Company’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any Breach of a representation or warranty, 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 and subject to Section 3.06, 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 60 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 and subject to Section 3.06, 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, 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. 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.

-28-

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. 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. For the month of substitution, 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.

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) 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.

Section 3.04

Indemnification.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it 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 the Purchaser may sustain in any way related any assertion based on, grounded upon resulting from a Breach of any of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.04, the Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to seek damages. The provisions of this Section 3.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

-29-

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a Breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Section 3.05

Repurchase Upon Conversion.

In the event the Mortgagor under any Convertible Mortgage Loan elects to convert said Mortgage Loan to a fixed rate mortgage loan, as provided in the related Mortgage Note, then the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the month the conversion takes place and in the manner prescribed in Section 3.04 at the Repurchase Price.

Section 3.06

Restrictions and Requirements Applicable in the Event

that a Mortgage Loan is Acquired by a REMIC

In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the following provisions shall be applicable to such Mortgage Loan:

(A)

Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 7.02 shall be made, unless, if so required by the applicable REMIC Documents the Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase 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.

(B)

General Servicing Obligations.

The Company shall sell any REO Property within two years after its acquisition by the REMIC unless (i) the Company applies for an extension of such two-year period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Company obtains for the Purchaser an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Purchaser and the Company, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to such two year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Purchaser, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Company and the Purchaser for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as “rents from real property” as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code.

-30-

(C)

Additional Covenants.

In addition to the provision set forth in this Section 3.06, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which any of the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are held, then, with respect to such Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties, and notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the 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) unless the Company has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

If a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which any Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are held, the Company shall amend this Agreement such that it will meet all Rating Agency requirements.

Section 3.07

Review of Mortgage Loans

From the related Closing Date until the date 15 days after the related Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Files and obtain BPOs and other property evaluations on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing Date, with the results of such BPO or property evaluation reviews to be communicated to the Company for a period up to 15 days after the related Closing Date. In addition, the Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan which in the Purchaser’s sole determination (i) fails to conform to the Underwriting Guidelines, (ii) the value of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any BPO or property evaluation varies by more than plus or minus 15% from the lesser of (A) the original appraised value of the Mortgage Property or (B) the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of origination (a “Value Issue”), (iii) the Mortgage Loan is underwritten without verification of the Borrower’s income and assets and there is no credit report and credit score or (iv) the Purchaser deems the Mortgage Loan not to be an acceptable credit risk. The Company shall repurchase the rejected Mortgage Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 3.03 upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser of the rejection of such Mortgage Loan; provided, that, in the event that the Purchaser rejects a Mortgage Loan due to a Value Issue, the Company may submit to the Purchaser an additional property evaluation for purposes of demonstrating that the Mortgage Loan does not have a Value Issue. If the Purchaser and the Company fail to resolve such Value Issue within two weeks of the Purchaser presenting such Value Issue to the Company, then Company shall have the right to promptly (a) substitute such Mortgage Loan with a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan meeting all the terms hereof, or (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 3.03. Any rejected Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall make available all files required by Purchaser in order to complete its review, including capturing all CRA/HMDA required data fields. Any review performed by the Purchaser prior to the related Closing Date does not limit the Purchaser’s rights or the Company’s obligations under this section. To the extent that the Purchaser’s review discloses that the Mortgage Loans do not conform to the Underwriting Guidelines or the terms set forth in the Purchaser Price and Terms Letter, the Purchaser may in its sole discretion increase its due diligence review and obtain additional BPO’s or other property evaluations. The additional review may be for any reason including but not limited to credit quality, property valuations, and data integrity.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01

Company to Act as Servicer.

The Company shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, 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.

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 Purchasers, 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 of any material term of any Mortgage Loan including any modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate change the Index, Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, Initial Rate Cap or Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, defer or 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 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 Purchasers, 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.

-32-

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 Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by the Subservicer on behalf of the Company provided that the Subservicer is a Fannie Mae-approved lender or a Freddie Mac seller/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 Freddie Mac, or which would require notification to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. 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.

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 9.04, 10.01 or 11.02, 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 as soon as is reasonably possible. 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.

-33-

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

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, provided that, prior to commencing 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 10 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 to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.

-34-

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 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 date hereof 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 “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. in trust for EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. 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 certification in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two Business Days of 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 or with respect to each LPMI Loan, in the amount of the LPMI Fee):

-35-

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

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

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.14 and Section 4.15;

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;

(vi) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.09, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;

(vii) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05 or 3.07 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;

(viii) with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be made from the Company’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor up to a maximum amount per month of the Servicing Fee actually received for such month for the Mortgage Loans;

(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; and

(x) any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

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.

-36-

Section 4.05

Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds 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 of the Company’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, 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 payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections 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 for 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 Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser except where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.05, 3.07 or 6.02, in which case the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchasers of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchasers with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(v) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 9.01;

-37-

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05.

Section 4.06

Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in trust for the EMC Mortgage Corporation, as purchaser of Residential Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors”. The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. 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 certification in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Company, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Company. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two Business Days of receipt, 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; and

(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in 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. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

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

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

-38-

(ii) to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;

Section 4.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI 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, 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. To the extent that a 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 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 or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Upon any such transfer, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser and deliver to the Purchaser a Custodial Account Certification or Escrow Account Certification (as applicable) in the form of Exhibit D-1 or E-1 to this agreement.

-39-

The Company shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts.

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Company be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Company shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Company) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Company and may be withdrawn at any time by the Company. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Company out of its own funds immediately as realized.

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 a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”) 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) the replacement 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 or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.

If a Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Federal Register 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 rated A:VI or better in Best’s 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 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.

-40-

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.

The Company shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property earthquake or such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

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 desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.

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 rated A:VI or better in Best’s 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. The Company shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.

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.

-41-

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. 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 deposited from the Company’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to 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, embezzle-ment, 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 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.

The Company shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Company to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, 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 written report of each such inspection.

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. 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 Custodial 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 and LPMI Policy; Claims.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 95%, the Company shall:

(i) with respect to Mortgage Loans which are not LPMI Loans, in accordance with state and federal laws and without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, 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, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI 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 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 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 4.01, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI 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. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

-43-

(ii) with respect to LPMI Loans, maintain in full force and effect an LPMI Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan with a minimum of 35% coverage insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 68% (or such other percentage as stated in the related Acknowledgment Agreement) of value, and from time to time, withdraw the LPMI Fee with respect to such LPMI Loan from the Custodial Account in order to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to any LPMI Loan are less than the LPMI Fee, the Company shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Fee, in payment of the premium on the related LPMI Policy. Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions on Section 2.05. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the 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 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 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 LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such 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. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

(b) 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 or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

(c) Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either obtain an additional PMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has a PMI Policy in place, or (ii) obtain a PMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does not already have a PMI Policy in place. In any event, the Company agrees to administer such PMI Policies in accordance with the Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.

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 Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate 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) 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 the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

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, and 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.

-45-

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, a Subservicer, or the Company itself. The REO management fee shall be an amount that is reasonable and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall make monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchasers of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this 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.

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.

Section 4.20

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related Payment Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related 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 and the Monthly Payment adjustments. The Company shall promptly upon written request thereof, deliver to the Purchaser 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 Company, or the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby.

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), and 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, 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 second Business Day following 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 be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day 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 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 10^th day of each calendar month, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, with a trial balance report attached thereto, in the form of Exhibit F annexed hereto electronic medium mutually acceptable to the parties as to the preceding calendar month and the Due Period in the month of remittance

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Company 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. Nothing in this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to require the Company to prepare any federal income tax return on Internal Revenue Service Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return, including Schedule Q thereto, Quarterly Notice to Residual Interest Holders of REMIC Taxable Income or Net Loss Allocation, or any successor forms, to be filed on behalf of any REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.

Section 5.03

Monthly Advances by Company.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, either (a) the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or (b) if funds are on deposit in the Custodial Account which are not required to be remitted on the related Remittance Date, the Company may make an appropriate entry in its records that such funds shall be applied toward the related Monthly Advance (provided, that any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Company no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Remittance Date), in each case, in an aggregate 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. 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 Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

In no event shall the Company be obligated to make an advance under this section 5.03 if at the time of such advance it deems such advance to be non-recoverable. The Company shall promptly deliver an officer’s certificate to the Purchaser upon determining that any advance is non-recoverable. In the event that upon liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the Company for any Monthly Advances, the Company shall notify the related Purchaser of such shortfall by registered mail with sufficient supporting documentation and shall have the right to deduct such shortfall from the next remittance to be paid to the related Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

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, 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 or LPMI Policy, if any.

-48-

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, a portion of such fee, up to an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation, and any portion thereof in excess one percent (1.0%) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for the benefit of the Purchaser. In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Index, the Lifetime Mortgage Interest Rate Cap, the Initial Rate Cap or the Gross Margin of any Mortgage Loan, nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by Fannie Mae with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. 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.

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 shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. In connection with any such prepayment in full, the Company shall comply with all applicable laws regarding satisfaction, release or reconveyance with respect to the Mortgage.

If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 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.

-49-

Section 6.03

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee shall be payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments collected by the Company.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges and Prepayment Penalties, shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. 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 thereof except as specifically provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full, the Company shall not waive, and shall not permit the waiver of, any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Company determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidations Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) (A) the enforeceability therefore is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law.

Section 6.04

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, on or before May 31 each year beginning May 31, 2003, an Officer’s Certificate, stating 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 officer’s supervision, and (ii) the Company has complied fully with the provisions of Article II and Article IV, and (iii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.

Section 6.06

Right to Examine Company Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company, whether held by the Company or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice.

The Company shall execute any Reconstitution Agreements required within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such agreements which time shall be sufficient for the Company and the Company’s counsel to review such agreements. Company shall use its Best Efforts to complete such review within ten (10) Business Days after mutual agreement as to the terms thereof, but such time shall not exceed fifteen (15) Business Days after mutual agreement as to the terms thereof.

The Purchaser shall repurchase from the Company any Mortgage Loan transferred to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pursuant to an Agency Transfer or to a trustee pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer with respect to which the Company has been required by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee to repurchase due to a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing thereof prior to the transfer date to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee in any Reconstitution Agreement and not due to a breach of the Company’s representations or obligations thereunder or pursuant to this Agreement.

The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and forfeitures, including, but not limited to reasonable and necessary 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 (a) perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, and/or (b) comply with applicable law. The Company immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, shall promptly notify Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the trustee with respect to any claim made by a third party with respect to any Reconstitution Agreement, assume (with the prior written 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 in the amount of $5,000 or less, which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Company’s indemnification pursuant to Section 3.03, or the failure of the Company to (a) service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement, and/or (b) comply with applicable law.

Section 9.02

Merger or Consolidation of the Company.

The Company shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, 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 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, 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 net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) whose deposits are insured by the FDIC through the BIF or the SAIF, and (iii) which is a Fannie Mae-approved company in good standing.

Section 9.03

Limitation on Liability of Company and Others.

Neither the Company nor any of the directors, 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, 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 any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any director, 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 any Person 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 opinion may involve it in any expense 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 Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

Section 9.04

Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Company.

The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Company and subsequent Purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Company, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Company shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a Subservicer) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company may assign its right and obligations hereunder to any entity that is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Company and the Company guarantees the performance by such entity of all obligations hereunder.

The Company shall not 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 12.01.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 9.04, 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 (to other than a Subservicer) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or any third party.

(v) the Company shall consent 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 Company or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vii) the Company ceases to meet the qualifications of a Fannie Mae lender or servicer; or

(viii) the Company fails to maintain a minimum net worth of $25,000,000; or

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

Upon 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 12.01. Upon written request from any Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Purchaser any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Company’s sole expense. The Company shall 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.

Section 10.02

Waiver of Defaults.

By a written notice, the Purchaser may waive any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any 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.

ARTICLE XI

Successor to Company.

Prior to termination of the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 (ii) or pursuant to Section 11.02 after the 90 day period has expired, 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 clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 9.02 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 it 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 the Company pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.07, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.07 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, 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, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, except for subsections (f), (h), (i) and (k) thereof, 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 termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that any Purchaser may have against the Company arising out of the Company’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Company shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the Funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.05.

Neither the Purchaser 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. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the parties acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. The parties agree over time to negotiate in good faith with respect to the provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. 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.

In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, and any parties or items identified in writing by the Purchaser, including, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans necessary in order to effect such compliance, in the Purchaser’s or Depositor’s reasonable determination.

The Purchaser agrees that it will cooperate with the Company and provide sufficient and timely notice of any information requirements pertaining to a Securitization Transaction. The Purchaser will make all reasonable efforts to limit requests for information, reports or any other materials to items the Purchaser reasonably believes is required for compliance with Regulation AB, and shall not request information which is not required for such compliance.

(b) Additional Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(i) The Company shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Section 2(c) that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) the Company is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Company; (ii) the Company has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving the Company as servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Company; (iv) no material changes to the Company’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Company’s financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Company of its servicing obligations under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Company, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator; and (vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Company, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

(ii) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Section 2(c), the Company shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (i) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party.

In connection with any Securitization Transaction the Company shall (1) within five Business Days following request by the Purchaser or any Depositor, provide to the Purchaser and such Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator and each Subservicer to provide), in writing reasonably required for compliance with Regulation AB, the information and materials specified in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (vi) of this Section 2(c), and (2) as promptly as practicable following notice to or discovery by the Company, provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor (as required by Regulation AB) the information specified in paragraph (iv) of this Section.

(i) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Company shall provide such information regarding (x) the Company, as originator of the Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent, if applicable), or (y) as applicable, each Third-Party Originator, and (z) as applicable, each Subservicer, as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105 (subject to paragraph (b) below), 1110, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB.

The Servicer does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The rights of the Owner to receive payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

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.

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 apply the definition of Delinquent as such term is defined under 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.

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 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 Subcontractor is “participating in the servicing function” pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver an Annual Certification as to each such Subservicer and Subcontractor, 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 6.04 or Section 6.09 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 6.05. [Reserved]

Section 6.06. Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Owner shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, 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 Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer 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 Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal or state government regulations.

Section 6.07. Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the 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 "contribution" to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

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. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this section. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which indicates services the Servicer offers, including refinances or (ii) providing financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor's request.

Section 6.09. Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria.

On and after January 1, 2006, the Servicer shall service and administer, and shall cause each subservicer to service or administer, the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, and any Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which as of the date hereof, require a report by an authorized officer of the Servicer that contains the following:

(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(b) A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(c) An assessment by such officer of the Servicer’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 Servicer, 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 Servicer’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 Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, 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 Exhibit J hereto.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner or its designee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator 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 Servicer, 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.

The Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.15 to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Owner, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Section 6.09.

Section 6.10. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of clause (g) of Article III, Sections 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, the Master Servicer or 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. The Servicer 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 Owner 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 Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01. Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon request, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information, unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01. Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

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.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01. Events of Default.

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

(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

(v) the Servicer 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 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 X

Section 10.01. Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner in writing; or (iii) termination by the Owner pursuant to Section 9.01.

(vii) in addition to such information as the Servicer, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, not later than ten days prior to the deadline for the filing of any distribution report on Form 10-D in respect of any Pass-Through Transfer that includes any of the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer or such Subservicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent the Servicer or such Subservicer has knowledge, provide to the party responsible for filing such report (including, if applicable, the Master Servicer) notice of the occurrence of any of the following events along with all information, data, and materials related thereto as may be required to be included in the related distribution report on Form 10-D (as specified in the provisions of Regulation AB referenced below):

In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of Exhibit I and the text of the applicable Item of Regulation AB as cited above, the text of Regulation AB, its adopting release and other public statements of the SEC shall control.

The Servicer shall indemnify the Owner, each affiliate of the Owner, and each of the following parties participating in a Pass-Through Transfer: each issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, the Master Servicer, if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer, 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 Pass-Through Transfer; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (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, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, 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:

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material provided under this Section 10.02 by or on behalf of the Servicer, or provided under this Section 10.02, Sections 6.04 and 6.09 and by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Subcontractor (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicer Information a material fact required to be stated in the Servicer 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 Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

(ii) any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Section 10.02, including particularly any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 10.02, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 11.15 any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;

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 11.03. Recordation of Agreement.

Company will deliver the Mortgage Files to the Custodian designated by Purchaser, on or before the related Closing Date, at the expense of the Company. The Company shall maintain a Servicing File, which shall contain all documents necessary to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the Company is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is in a custodial capacity only. From the related Closing Date, the ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the Purchaser. 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 Company shall be received and held by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the Company shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of the Mortgage Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Purchaser, except when such release is required as incidental to the Company's servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or Loans with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, such written instructions shall not be required.

Section 2.05 Books and Records.

The sale of each Mortgage Loan has been reflected on the Company's balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Company. The Company shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans that shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. In particular, the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Purchaser, or its designee and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC, 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 of any condominium project as required by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, 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 Company may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche.

In addition to the foregoing, Company shall provide to any supervisory agents or examiners that regulate Purchaser, including but not limited to, the OTS, the FDIC and other similar entities, access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Company and without charge to Company or such supervisory agents or examiners, to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans that may be required by any applicable regulator.

Section 2.06. Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

The Company shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall note transfers 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 Company 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 Company in accordance with this Section 2.06 and the books and records of the Company show such person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Company shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

Section 2.07 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Company shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet. The documents enumerated as items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (16) in Exhibit A hereto shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser or its designee no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. All other documents in Exhibit A hereto, together with all other documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan that Company may have in its possession, shall be retained by the Company in trust for the Purchaser. If the Company cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents or the original policy of title insurance, including riders and endorsements thereto, on the related Closing Date, the Company shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the related Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including original recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Company 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 one hundred twenty (120) 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, Company shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. 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. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within one hundred eighty (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 Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

For each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the assignments of mortgage and any other fees in connection with the transfer of all original documents to the Purchaser or its designee. Company shall prepare, in recordable form, all assignments of mortgage necessary to assign the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, or its designee. Company shall be responsible for recording the assignments of mortgage.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Company 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 Company 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.

Company shall provide an original or duplicate original of the title insurance policy to Purchaser or its designee no later than ninety (90) days of the receipt of the recorded documents from the applicable recording office.

Any review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Company's obligations hereunder.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03.

The Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, 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 one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified to be a true and complete copy of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation.

From time to time the Company may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Company shall indemnify Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to Company pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 2.08 Quality Control Procedures.

The Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

Section 2.09 Near-term Principal Prepayments; Near Term Payment Defaults

In the event any Principal Prepayment in full is made by a Mortgagor on or prior to three months after the related Closing Date, the Company shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price Percentage over par multiplied by the amount of such Principal Prepayment. Such remittance shall be made by the Company to Purchaser no later than the third Business Day following receipt of such Principal Prepayment by the Company.

In the event either of the first three (3) scheduled Monthly Payments which are due under any Mortgage Loan after the related Cut-off Date are not made during the month in which such Monthly Payments are due, then not later than five (5) Business Days after notice to the Company by Purchaser (and at Purchaser’s sole option), the Company, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser pursuant to the repurchase provisions contained in this Subsection 3.03.

Section 2.10 Modification of Obligations. Purchaser may, without any notice to Company, extend, compromise, renew, release, change, modify, adjust or alter, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the obligations of the Mortgagors or other persons obligated under a Mortgage Loan without releasing or otherwise affecting the obligations of Company under this Agreement, or with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent Purchaser’s extension, compromise, release, change, modification, adjustment, or alteration affects Company’s ability to collect the Mortgage Loan or realize on the security of the Mortgage, but then only to the extent such action has such effect or reduces the Servicing Fee.

(b) The Company has the full power and authority and legal right to hold, transfer and convey each Mortgage Loan, to sell each Mortgage Loan and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and to conduct its business as presently conducted, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any agreements contemplated hereby, has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, and any agreements contemplated hereby, and this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and each Assignment to the Purchaser and any agreements contemplated hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, and all requisite corporate action has been taken by the Company to make this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and all agreements contemplated hereby valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with their terms;

(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, nor the origination or purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Company, the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet will conflict with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company's charter or by-laws or materially conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the material violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its properties are subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans.

(d) There is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of Company’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, with respect to the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, or which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

(e) 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 this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained;

(f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company and Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(g) The origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control 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 and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

(h) The Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition 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 such Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect the value or the marketability of the Mortgage Loan. The Company did not select the Mortgage Loans sold to Purchaser based on any adverse selection of mortgage loans in its portfolio that met Purchaser’s purchase parameters for this transaction (as such parameters are set forth in the Confirmation), including without limitation, the location or condition of the Mortgaged Property, payment pattern of the borrower or any other factor that may adversely affect the expected cost of foreclosing, owning or holding the Mortgage Loans or related Mortgaged Property or collecting the insurance or guarantee proceeds related thereto;

(i) The Company will treat the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale for reporting and accounting purposes and, to the extent appropriate, for federal income tax purposes;

(j) Company is an approved seller/servicer of residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, FHLMC and HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary for the sound servicing of such mortgage loans. The Company is duly qualified, licensed, registered and otherwise authorized under all applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, and is in good standing to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and FHLMC and no event has occurred which would make Company unable to comply with eligibility requirements or which would require notification to either Fannie Mae or FHLMC;

(k) The Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors;

(l) No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will, as of the date such documentation is delivered by the Company, contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect;

(m) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.

(n) Company has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements of its parent, for its last two complete fiscal years. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position for the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company since the date of the Company’s financial information that would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(o) The Company has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;

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 Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related 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 Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants 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. 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) The origination and collection practices used by the Company with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Company and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Company and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Company for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

(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 and was issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. 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; none of the Mortgage Loans are classified as a (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost”, “threshold”, or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law; 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, to the best of Company’s knowledge, information and belief, and after due inquiry, 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, and to the knowledge of the Company, 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;

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, if required, 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. Each 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 first 10 years from origination, and after the first 10 years from origination, 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 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. 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;

(ee) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)

(ff) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)

(gg) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)

(hh) In the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, 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. 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. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts known to the Company 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. 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 (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. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith;

(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 indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property or contiguous parcels bearing one legal description and tax assessment number with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to-four family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. 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 to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;

(kk) Monthly 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, if applicable, 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;

(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 or an Illinois land trust or an inter vivos revocable trust acceptable to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac;

(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;

(ss) With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default, the modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date of the modification;

(tt) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;

(uu) None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;

(vv) All of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has passed its initial Adjustment Date, Company has performed an audit of the Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; and

(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 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 with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, 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 shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.

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 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 (90) 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 one hundred eighty (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) or (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.

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.

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 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, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition 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 and not less than five (5) days prior to the acceptance or 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, 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. Additionally, Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code

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 or 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 Private 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 (30) 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. 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 (5) 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 (5) 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.

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.

The Company shall deposit any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances 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 Purchaser on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Purchaser 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 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.

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements.

The Company will, to the extent it has actual 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 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 (5) 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 and the Master Servicer not later February 28 of each year beginning in February 2005, 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.

On or before February 28 of each year beginning February 28, 2005 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 and the Master Servicer. 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 at its expense 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.

Section 6.07 Annual Certification.

(a) For so long as the Mortgage Loans are being master serviced by the Master Servicer, by February 28th of each year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Company shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Master Servicer and their officers, directors and affiliates, certifying as to the following matters:

(ii) The servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Company under this Agreement has been provided to the Master Servicer;

(iii) I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Company under the Agreement and based upon the review required by this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the Annual Statement of Compliance or the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report submitted to the Master Servicer, the Company has, as of the date of this certification fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv)

I have disclosed to the Master Servicer all significant deficiencies relating to the Company’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards in accordance with a review conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar standard as set forth in the Agreement.

(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and Master Servicer and their 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 Company or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 6.07 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Purchaser or Master Servicer, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Purchaser or Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Purchaser or Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser or Master Servicer on the one hand and the Company on the other in connection with a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.07 or the Company’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

THE SERVICER

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 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 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 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. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any liability on the Company in the event it has, in good faith, complied with any instructions of Purchaser, which instructions are contrary to the terms and provisions 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, or the parent company of such successor or surviving Person, shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth not less than $25,000,000, (ii) 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, however, that if such successor or surviving Person does not have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000, the parent company of such successor or surviving Person shall act as guarantor with respect to such successor’s obligations under this Agreement.

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 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, other than in the normal course of business, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Company may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Purchaser to an affiliate of the Company to which all servicing of the Company 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 Company, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Purchaser 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..

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.

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

(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

(x) failure by the Company to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04, 6.05 or 6.07, 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 Company by any party to this Agreement or by the Master Servicer.

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 (except in the case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice) 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 (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.

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.

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), 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 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.

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

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.
