On or after the receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 16. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller's sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 14.02. Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
 
SECTION 15. Termination.
 
Subsection 15.01. Termination.
 
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller 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 Seller and the Purchaser in writing or (iii) the repurchase by the Seller of all outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Property at a price equal to (a) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan on the date of such repurchase plus accrued interest thereon through the last day of the month of repurchase, and (b) in the case of REO Property, the lesser of (1) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan encumbering the Mortgaged Property at the time such Mortgaged Property was acquired and became REO Property or (2) the Fair Market Value of the REO Property at the time of repurchase.
 
The right of the Seller to repurchase all outstanding Mortgage Loans pursuant to (iii) above shall be conditional upon the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of such Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase aggregating less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on the related Cut-off Date.
 
Subsection 15.02. Termination Without Cause.
 
The Purchaser may, at its sole option, terminate any rights the Seller may have hereunder, without cause, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Seller as provided in Section 16 of this Agreement. In the event of such termination, the Seller shall be entitled to the Termination Fee.
 
SECTION 16. Successor to the Seller.
 
Prior to termination of Seller's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 15.01(ii) or 15.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller under this Agreement prior to the termination of Seller'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 Seller's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsection 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.
 
-14-

 
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller 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 Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. In connection with any such resignation or removal of Seller, either (i) the successor shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the Seller shall cooperate with such successor in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS System to the successor servicer. The Seller shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The Successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 13.04, 14.01, 15.01, or 15.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
 
The Seller shall timely 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 Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller 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 Seller. The successor shall make arrangements at the time of transfer of the servicing responsibilities to the successor servicer to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended pursuant to this Agreement (provided that the Seller shall provide the successor servicer with written evidence of such amounts) which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.
 
-15-

 
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Seller shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.
 
SECTION 17. Financial Statements.
 
The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Seller's parent company, Countrywide Financial Corporation ("CFC") for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years respecting which such a statement is available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of CFC at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser, upon request, copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.
 
The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 20. Severability Clause.
 
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

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

SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
 
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser. 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 the Purchaser hereunder unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the document evidencing such agreement shall have been executed by the Purchaser and the transferee and delivered to Countrywide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer shall be effective if such transfer would result in there being more than three (3) “Purchasers” outstanding hereunder with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package. Any trust to which Mortgage Loans may be transferred pursuant to Section 12 hereunder shall constitute a single Purchaser for the purposes of the preceding sentence.
 
-17-

SERVICING ADDENDUM


Section 11.01 Seller to Act as Servicer.
 
The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders, 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 Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would decrease the Mortgage Interest Rate (other than by adjustments required by the terms of the Mortgage Note), defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make future advances or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan without the Purchaser's consent. The Seller may permit forbearance or allow for suspension of Monthly Payments in either case for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days if the Mortgagor is in default or the Seller determines in its reasonable discretion that default is imminent and if the Seller determines that granting such forbearance or suspension is in the best interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any such modification, forbearance or suspension as permitted above allows the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall include in each remittance for any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred (without giving effect to such modification, forbearance or suspension) an amount equal to, as the case may be, such month's principal and one (1) month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the then unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances only to the same extent as for Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 11.19. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. If reasonably required by the Seller, the Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
 
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller 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 mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Purchaser's reliance on the Seller.
 

 
Section 11.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans is paid in full, the Seller will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Seller will take special 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 that end, the Seller shall ensure that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
Section 11.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, 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 11.01. The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Primary Mortgage Insurance Proceeds, Other Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 11.05. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. Such notice may be contained in the reports prepared by the Seller and delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In such connection, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 11.05.
 
The Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for its own account any Mortgage Loan which is ninety-one (91) days or more delinquent at the Repurchase Price; provided, however that the Seller shall not be entitled to exercise such purchase if the delinquency is caused directly or indirectly by an act or omission of the Seller which would constitute a breach or violation of its obligations hereunder. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account the amount of the purchase price stated in the preceding sentence, after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect of such purchased Mortgage Loan and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.
 

 
Section 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one (1) or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit 7 to this Agreement. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon request.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:
 
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
 
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
 
(iii) all proceeds from a Cash Liquidation;
 
(iv) all Primary Mortgage Insurance Proceeds and Other Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 11.08, 11.10 and 11.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller's normal servicing procedures, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;
 
(vi) any Monthly Advances;
 
(vii) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections 7.03 and 11.03, and any amount required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any shortfall in principal amount of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Deleted Mortgage Loans as required pursuant to Section 7.03;
 
(viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 11.10 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy such deposit shall be made from the Seller's own funds, without reimbursement therefor;
 

 
(ix) the Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for the month of distribution, such deposit shall be made from the Seller'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;
 
(x) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 11.13; and
 
(xi) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.01, 11.14, 11.22 or 11.23.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment penalties (except as otherwise set forth in a Purchase Price and Terms Letter) with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package, and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.05(iv).
 
If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account were to exceeds the insured amount limits of an FDIC insured account as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Seller shall, on or before twelve o’clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the related Custodial Account all amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limits and deposit such amounts in another account that constitutes an Eligible Account pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account.
 
Section 11.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
 
The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 11.17;
 
(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan (or to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans as a whole in the event that said Monthly Advance is made due to a shortfall in a Monthly Payment made by a Mortgagor entitled to relief under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940) which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) respecting which any such advance was made it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 7.03, the Seller's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans; provided that the Seller may reimburse itself from any funds in the Custodial Account for Monthly Advances which it has determined are nonrecoverable advances or if all funds with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have previously been remitted to the Purchaser;
 

 
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Seller's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds (or to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans only in the event that said Monthly Advance is made due to a shortfall in a Monthly Payment made by a Mortgagor entitled to relief under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940) from Cash Liquidation, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Primary Mortgage Insurance Proceeds and Other Insurance Proceeds; provided that the Seller may reimburse itself from any funds in the Custodial Account for Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees if all funds with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have previously been remitted to the Purchaser;
 
(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 Fees from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;
 
(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 7.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined;
 
(vi) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement;
 
(vii) to reimburse the Seller for any Monthly Advance previously made which the Seller has determined to be a nonrecoverable Monthly Advance; and
 
(viii) to reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Custodial Account in error.
 
Section 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one (1) or more Escrow Accounts which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit 8 to this Agreement. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon request.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) 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 Other Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 11.08. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
 

 
Section 11.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items (ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Seller, or to the Mortgagors to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Escrow Account in error, or (viii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Seller shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the 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 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
 
The Seller will maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy conforming in all respects to the description set forth in Section 7.02(xxxi), issued by an insurer described in that Section, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Updated Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which FNMA no longer requires such insurance to be maintained, unless state law provides that the Mortgagor may elect to cancel. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with an insurer that is FNMA or FHLMC approved. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 11.22, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
 

 
Section 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser that such transfer has been made. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.
 
Section 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is 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 unpaid 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 on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, the Seller 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 unpaid 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 Seller 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 Seller under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Seller or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller 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 Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best's Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
 

 
Section 11.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
 
In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A+:XV 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 11.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 11.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 11.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 11.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use 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 11.12 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan in handling funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. 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 Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 11.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA Selling Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Sellers' and Servicers' Guide. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and insurance policy and shall use its best efforts to 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 Seller 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.
 

 
Section 11.13 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 Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser, or in the event the Seller is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Seller from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where to REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
 
The Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the Purchaser's request therefor. The Seller shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account for the REO Properties in the form of a non-interest bearing demand account which shall be an Eligible Account, unless an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Seller to the effect that the classification as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes of the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties is held will not be adversely affected by holding such funds in another manner. The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Properties, including (i) the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 11.10 hereof and (ii) either (A) the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller or (B) in the event that the Seller is managing the REO Property, then the related Servicing Fee. The Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in the Custodial Account. On or before each Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw from the Custodial Account and deposit into the Custodial Account the net income from the REO Properties on deposit in the Custodial Account.
 

 
The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operation statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
 
The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one (1) year after title to such REO Property has been obtained, unless the Seller determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one (1) year is permitted under this Agreement and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.
 
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances or Servicing Fees with respect to the REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Seller as provided above, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account and shall be transferred to the Custodial Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding Remittance Date in accordance with Section 11.17.
 
With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall maintain separate records and reports with respect to the funds received and distributed on an REO Property by REO Property basis.
 
Section 11.14 Notification of Adjustments.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest 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 because the original Index is no longer available, such selection shall be in compliance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller, or the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Seller shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby without reimbursement therefor.
 

 
Section 11.15 MERS Registration.
 
The Seller is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Seller believes it appropriate in its best judgement to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
 
Section 11.17 Distributions.
 
On each Remittance Date, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 11.19, minus (iii) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the Principal Prepayment Period, and (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date. It is understood that, by operation of Section 11.04, the remittance on the initial Remittance Date is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
 
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 Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by JPMorgan Chase, New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser 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 such late payment. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.
 
Section 11.18 Statements to the Purchaser.
 
Not later than each Remittance Date, the Seller will furnish to the Purchaser by any electronic medium the information shown in Exhibit 11, provided that such information shall be in a form useful to the Purchaser.
 

 
In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller will furnish to the Purchaser at any time during such calendar year, (i) as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year, an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law, and (ii) listing of the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans outstanding at the end of such calendar year.
 
The Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
 
Section 11.19 Monthly Advances by the Seller.
 
Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 11.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.
 
The Seller's obligation to make such advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the earliest of: (i) the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of any Liquidation Proceeds, Other Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which, in the case of Other Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds, satisfy in full the indebtedness of such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the Remittance Date prior to the date the Mortgage Loan is converted to REO Property, provided, however, that if requested by a Rating Agency (hereinafter defined) in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer, the Seller shall be obligated to make such advances through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which cash is received in connection with the liquidation of REO Property. In no event shall the Seller be obligated to make an advance under this Section 11.19 if at the time of such advance it deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. If the Seller determines that an advance is nonrecoverable, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Seller to the effect that an officer of the Seller has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any previous and any additional advances are nonrecoverable. For the purposes of this paragraph, "Rating Agency" shall mean Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Fitch Investors Services, Inc. or any other statistical credit rating agency.
 
Section 11.20 Real Estate Owned Reports.
 
Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 11.18, with respect to any REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on request a statement covering the Seller'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, together with an operating statement free of cost. Such statement shall be accompanied by such additional information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request. The cost of producing such additional information shall be borne by the Purchaser requesting it.
 

 
Section 11.21 Liquidation Reports.
 
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property which report may be included with any other reports prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
Section 11.22 Assumption Agreements.
 
The Seller will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Seller will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 11.22, the Seller, with the prior written consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
 
In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures employed by the Seller for similar mortgage loans originated in accordance with the guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit B serviced by the Seller for its own account. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall not be changed. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser or its designee 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. Any fee collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.04.
 

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 11.22, 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 11.23 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 11.04 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. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser or its designee shall within five (5) Business Days release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. With respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. 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 Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser the then unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Seller 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 service or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser or Purchaser's designee of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or its designee to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File 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 Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File 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 Seller.
 

 
Section 11.24 Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller 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 Seller's Servicing Fees. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 11.22, prepayment penalties (except as otherwise set forth in a related Purchase Price and Terms Letter with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package), and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.
 
Section 11.25 Statement as to Compliance.
 
(a) The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser On or before March 15, 2004, and March 1 of each year thereafter, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Seller desire to amend the Agreement, subject to the terms hereof, to modify the Agreement as specified herein with respect to any pools of Mortgage Loans purchased by the Purchaser on or after September 1, 2003;

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Seller have agreed to amend the Agreement as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Seller each have agreed to execute and deliver this Amendment Number One on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments.

(a) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions:

Negative Amortization: With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan, that portion of interest accrued at the Mortgage Interest Rate in any month which exceeds the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan for such month and which, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, is added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.
 

 
Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan: Each Mortgage Loan that is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Mortgage Loan that may be subject to Negative Amortization.

(b) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of the term "Payment Adjustment Date" and replacing it with the following definition:

Payment Adjustment Date: With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the date on which an adjustment to the Monthly Payment pursuant to the related Mortgage Note becomes effective. A Payment Adjustment Date with respect to a Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan shall occur on each anniversary date of the first payment date for the Mortgage Loan.

(c) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of "Stated Principal Balance" in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Stated Principal Balance: As to each Mortgage Loan as of any date of determination, (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date after giving effect to payments of principal due on or before such date, whether or not collected from the Mortgagor on or before such date, minus (ii) all amounts previously distributed to the Purchaser with respect to the related Mortgage Loan representing payments or recoveries of principal, plus (iii) the cumulative amount of any Negative Amortization.

(d) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 7.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subpart (ix) thereof and replacing it with the following:

(ix) The Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder, with respect to a Negative Amortization Loan) is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being 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 which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) 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, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller 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 secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
 

 
(e) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 7.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subpart (xv) thereof and replacing it with the following:

(xv)The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (which, has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to FNMA or FBLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (ix)(a) and (b) above) the Seller, 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, Monthly Payment and Negative Amortization provisions of the Mortgage Note. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller 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 full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(f) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 7.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subpart (xix) thereof and replacing it with the following:
 
(xix) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by 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, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National housing Act. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior to the Payment Adjustment Date; provided, further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable with respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a year in which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of 5 years and in any such year the Monthly Payment shall be adjusted to fully amortize the Mortgage Loan over the remaining term;
 

 
(g) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 7.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subpart (xxxv) thereof and replacing it with the following:

(xxxv) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the 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 FNMA or FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus any Negative Amortization.

(h) Effective as of September 1, 2003, Section 11.10(ii) of the Servicing Addendum is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (including any cumulative related Negative Amortization), in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer.

SECTION 2. Limited Effect. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this Amendment need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.

SECTION 3. Governing Law. This Amendment Number One shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights, and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws without regard to conflict of laws doctrine applied in such state (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).

SECTION 4. Counterparts. This Amendment Number One may be executed by each of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
