SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS; RECORD TITLE AND POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES; BOOKS AND RECORDS; CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT; DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS
 
Section 2.01.  Agreement to Purchase.
 
The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase on each Closing Date, pursuant to this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Seller and listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, servicing rights retained, having an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance in an amount as set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, or in such other amount as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser on such Closing Date.  The Seller shall deliver in an electronic format the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on such Closing Date to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing Date or as otherwise set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.
 
Section 2.02.  Purchase Price.
 
The Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Loan Package shall be equal to the sum of (a) the percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule plus (b) accrued interest on the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance as of the related Cut-off Date of the related Mortgage Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate of such Mortgage Loans from the related Cut-off Date to but not including such Closing Date (the “Purchase Price”). If so provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, portions of each Mortgage Loan Package shall be priced separately.
 
The Purchase Price as set forth in the preceding paragraph for the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Loan Package shall be paid on the related Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall own and be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller or any successor servicer after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (minus that portion of any such interest payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date) and (4) all Prepayment Penalties on the Mortgage Loans collected after the Cut-off Date.  The Scheduled Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application to the reduction of principal of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected Therefore, for the purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date.  Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of the Purchaser.  The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser, for remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser on the first related Remittance Date. All payments of principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date following the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.
 
Section 2.03.  Servicing of Mortgage Loans.
 
On each Closing Date, the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Loan Package will be sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing retained basis upon the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Conveyance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Assignment and Conveyance”).
 
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the related Assignment and Conveyance, for each Mortgage Loan Package, the Seller hereby agrees to service the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and this Agreement. The rights of the Purchaser to receive payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
 
Section 2.04.  Record Title and Possession of Mortgage Files; Maintenance of Servicing Files.
 
As of each Closing Date, the Seller will have sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter), and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser will have, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans.  In accordance with Section 2.07, the Seller shall deliver at its own expense, the Mortgage Files for the related Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or its designee.  The possession of each Servicing File by the Seller is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan.  From each Closing Date, the ownership of each related 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 Seller shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans.  Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the Seller shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser.
 
Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate. Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser. Seller shall, with respect to any Mortgage Loan not registered with the MERS System, at the option of Purchaser, either (i) prepare and cause to be recorded the Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan and shall, promptly upon its receipt of each original recorded Assignment of Mortgage from the applicable recording office, deliver the same to Purchaser, or (ii) prepare and deliver to Purchaser an original Assignment of Mortgage from Seller to Purchaser or in blank. Seller shall bear the cost and expense related to (i) providing all Assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes for any transfer of record title required hereunder with respect to the obligations of the Mortgage Notes and the underlying security interest related to each Mortgage Loan and (ii) recording fees and fees for title policy endorsements.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2.02 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2.02 shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the assignee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans.  The Seller further agrees that it will not alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 2.05.  Books and Records.
 
The sale of each Mortgage Loan will be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Seller and will be reflected on the Purchaser’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a purchase by the Purchaser.  The Seller shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans sold by it which shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser.  In particular, the Seller 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 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 Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guides.
 
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.  In the event, for any reason, any transaction contemplated herein is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Purchaser’s custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.
 
Section 2.06.  Transfer of Mortgage Loans.
 
The Seller shall keep at its office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Seller shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans.  No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms of Section 11.12.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the Seller shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a properly executed Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement in the form of Exhibit D with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Seller; provided, that, unless otherwise provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, in no event shall there be more than three (3) “Purchasers” with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package.  Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Seller shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such assignee, and, except as otherwise provided herein, the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.  Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans.  In the event that this Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the rights and benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall inure to the benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and the Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has been transferred; provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 shall be retained solely by the Purchaser.  This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.
 
Section 2.07.  Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
 
The Seller shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage Loan Package and the related Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased and sold on such Closing Date and set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule delivered with such Mortgage Loan Documents no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date pursuant to a bailee letter agreement.  If the Seller cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 270 days from the related Closing Date, deliver such original recorded documents to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office).  If delivery is not completed within 270 days of the related Closing Date solely because such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver a recording receipt of such recording office, or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller, confirming that such document has been accepted for recording and shall in any event deliver such document within twelve (12) months of the related Closing Date.
 
No later than three (3) days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall provide a copy of the commitment for title insurance to the Purchaser or its designee.
 
Any review by the Purchaser or its designee of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

(t)  The related Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note contain 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, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.  The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.  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;
 
(u)  If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified 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;

(x)  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 in clause (k) above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;
 
(y)  The Mortgage Loan does not contain “graduated payment” features and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature; to the extent any Mortgage Loan is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:
 
(i)  On or before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Seller and the Mortgagor, or the Seller, the Mortgagor and the seller of the Mortgaged Property or a third party entered into a Buydown Agreement.  The Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall deliver to the Seller temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due on such Mortgage Loan.  The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan.  The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the related Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note.  All Buydown Funds required to make the full payment of principal and interest under each Buydown Loan are in the Buydown Account held by the Seller in its capacity as servicer.  The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines;
 
(ii)  The Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms rather than the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement.  The Buydown Agreement provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are not available.  The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided by the Seller an if required under the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property;
 
(iii)  The Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan;
 
(iv)  As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the related Buydown Agreement complied with the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines; and
 
(v)  As of the Cut-off Date, the Buydown Funds are 5% or less of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(z)  The Mortgagor was not in bankruptcy or insolvent as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, is not in bankruptcy or insolvent as of the related Closing Date;
 
(aa)  Each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than forty (30) years, with interest calculated and payable in arrears on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest.  Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than forty (30) years and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, however, in the case of a balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan matures at least seven (7) years after the first payment date thereby requiring a final payment of the outstanding principal balance prior to the full amortization of the Mortgage Loan.  No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization;
 
(bb)  If a Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%, the portion of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraisal Value of the Mortgaged Property required by Fannie Mae, is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer.  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 action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage.  Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein.  The Seller 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.  The Seller 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.  The Monthly Payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Monthly Payment on the Defective Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on the such date shall be the property of the Purchaser and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.  Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02.
 
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution).  An amount equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied by the greater of 100% or the Purchase Price percentage specified in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter  shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum.  Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to such amount..
 
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, constitutes the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.  If the Seller fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, that failure shall, upon compliance by the Purchaser with the next to the last paragraph of this Section 3.03, be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all available remedies.  No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 8.01 and 9.01.
 
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Seller or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
 
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection with any repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.
 
Section 3.04.  Purchase Price Protection.
 
Except as set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that prepays in full during the first month following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser the amount (if any) by which the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser to the Seller exceeded 100% of the outstanding scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date, within thirty (30) calendar days of such payoff.  Upon any assignment of a Mortgage Loan and/or this Agreement, the Purchaser may at its option retain its rights under this Section 3.04 notwithstanding such assignment.
 
Section 3.05.  Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With First Payment Defaults.
 
Except as set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, if a Mortgagor is thirty (30) calendar days or more delinquent with respect to the first Monthly Payment due to the Purchaser on the related Mortgage Loan immediately following the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of written notice from the Purchaser.  Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be effected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.03 hereof, however, any such repurchase shall be made at the Repurchase Price.
 
ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
 
Section 4.01.  The Seller to Act as Servicer.
 
The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans through the exercise of the same care that it customarily employs for its own account.  The Seller may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of this Section; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder by virtue of such delegation.
 
Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities.  In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Seller.
 
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence that unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Seller, reasonably foreseeable, or the Seller has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan.  In the event of any such modification that permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) the otherwise scheduled Monthly Payment and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor.  The Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Purchaser when the Seller believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.13.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date without the prior consent of the Purchaser.  Any such agreement shall be approved by any applicable holder of a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if required.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the Seller may not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Seller determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the Mortgage Loan, and the waiver of such Prepayment Penalty is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including the waiver of a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of the Mortgage Loan related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default) or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by subsequent changes in applicable law.  In no event shall the Seller waive a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default.  If the Seller waives or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Seller, other than as provided above, the Seller shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account at the time of such prepayment for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
The Seller is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Seller believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
 
Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if the Purchaser does not affirmatively grant or deny consent within ten (10) Business Days from the date the Seller delivers a written request for consent for such matter via electronic mail to one of the following e-mail addresses (or to such other address as may be provided to the Seller in writing from time to time):  Steve.Pierro@citigroup.com; cheryl.marable@citigroup.com.
 
The Seller shall accurately and fully report its borrower credit files related to the Mortgage Loans to Equifax, Transunion and Experian in a timely manner.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Seller if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Seller that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Seller delivered to the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.02.  Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be serviced subject to this Agreement, the Seller will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.  Further, the Seller will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual Escrow Payments and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
 
Section 4.03.  Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01.  Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated pursuant to Fannie Mae guidelines and applicable state law with respect to Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.  The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.  The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which the Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property 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 Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.  In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan 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 Seller shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.  In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, the Seller shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Seller’s intention to do so, and the Seller shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice.  The Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense.  Upon completion of the inspection, the Seller shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection.  After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Seller shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
 
In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.13.
 
Section 4.04.  Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository Affiliate of the Seller) which meets the guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial accounts.  Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account.  Funds deposited in a Custodial Account may be drawn on in accordance with Section 4.05.  The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto.  The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on or before the initial Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent purchaser.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:
 
(i)  all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
 
(ii)  all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including all Prepayment Penalties received during the related Prepayment Period, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
 
(iii)  all Liquidation Proceeds;
 
(iv)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;
 
(v)  all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vi)  all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
 
(vii)  any Monthly Advances;
 
(viii)  Compensating Interest, if any, for the month of distribution.  Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;
 
(ix)  all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections 3.03;
 
(x)  any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;
 
(xi)  any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 6.02;
 
(xii)  an amount from the Buydown Account that when added to the Mortgagor’s payment will equal the full monthly amount due under the related Mortgage Note; and all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.03.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other ancillary fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account.
 
The Seller may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments designated in the name of the Seller for the benefit of the Seller, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in the Eligible Institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may mature on such Remittance Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Seller and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Seller from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv).  The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller out of its own funds immediately as realized.
 
If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (a) 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 Custodial Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
Section 4.05.  Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
 
The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
 
(i)  to make distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;
 
(ii)  to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fee) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
 
(iii)  to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds;
 
(iv)  to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation: (a) any interest earned on funds or any investment earnings in the Custodial Account net of any losses on such investments (all such amounts to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) to the extent not otherwise retained, the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;
 
(v)  to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;
 
(vi)  to reimburse the Seller for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, upon a final recovery determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that late collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Seller for such unreimbursed Servicing Advances;
 
(vii)  to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;
 
(viii)  to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Seller or for which amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related Mortgagor’s banking institution; and
 
(ix)  to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
The Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) - (vi) above.  The Seller shall provide written notification in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above.
 
Section 4.06.  Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Accounts.
 
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts.  Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.  Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.07.  The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C.  The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on or before the initial Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.
 
The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, and retain therein:
 
(i)  all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;
 
(ii)  all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; and
 
(iii)  all payments on account of Buydown Funds pursuant to Section 4.15(c).
 
The Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07.  The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that such Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
 
If the balance on deposit in the Escrow Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Escrow Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (a) 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 Escrow Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(i)  to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items for the related Mortgage;
 
(ii)  to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii)  to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
 
(iv)  for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

Section 4.08.  Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance; Collections Thereunder.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums (if any) and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law.  To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due.  The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Sections 4.05(iii) and (vi).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller reasonably determines that any such Servicing Advance would not be recoverable from amounts collected on the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance.  Any such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Purchaser indicating the reasons therefor.
 
The Seller will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or LPMI 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 Loan-to-Value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to the amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained.  The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.  The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have been covered thereunder.  In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI 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 LPMI Policy.  If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy as provided above.
 
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted First Lien Loan.  Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.09.  Transfer of Accounts.
 
The Seller may transfer a Custodial Account or an Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time.  Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts..
 
Section 4.10.  Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the greater of (a) either (X) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (Y) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.  If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Seller determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Seller shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if the related Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Seller shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.  To the extent the payment of the related premiums will not, in the Seller’s reasonable determination, constitute non-recoverable Servicing Advances, the Seller shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above.  Any amounts collected by the Seller under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.  It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Seller or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.  All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Seller.  The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
 
Section 4.11.  Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
 
In the event that the Seller (or an Affiliate of the Seller) shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac insuring against flood, fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.  In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.  Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.
 
Section 4.12.  Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans.  The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of a mortgage banker’s blanket bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons.  The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Seller against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby.  No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Guides.  The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.  Upon request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.
 
Section 4.13.  Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or other method resulting in full or partial satisfaction of the related Mortgage, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser’s designee, or in the event the Purchaser’s designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Seller, at the expense of the Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.  Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
 
The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  Thereafter, the Seller shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13.
 
The Seller shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) 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.  If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property 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) of the Code or result in the receipt by such 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” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code.  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.
 
The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within three (3) years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property.  If a longer period than three (3) years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate servicing agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of within three years or such other period as may be permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.  If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement from the Purchaser for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances.  The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Seller at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Seller deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser.  The Seller shall update the Purchaser from time-to-time as to the status of each REO Property.
 
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 separate REO Account for each Purchaser in the form of a non-interest bearing demand account, unless an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Seller to the effect that the classification as a grantor trust or REMIC for federal income tax purposes of the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property is held will not be adversely affected by holding such funds in another manner.  Each REO Account shall be established with the Seller or, with the prior consent of the Purchaser, with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings association.  The creation of any REO Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement substantially in the form of the Custodial Account Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto. An original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to any Purchaser upon request.
 
The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each REO 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 and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller.  The Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account.  On or before each Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw from each REO Account and deposit into the Custodial Account the net income from the REO Property on deposit in the REO 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 operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
 
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 only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser.  If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances 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 the Custodial Account.
 
Section 4.14.  Notification of Maturity Date.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.
 
Section 4.15.  Establishment of and Deposits to Buydown Account.
 
(a)  The Seller shall segregate and hold all Buydown Funds collected and received pursuant to the Buydown Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Buydown Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Wachovia Mortgage Corporation, in trust for the Purchaser, its successors or assigns, and/or subsequent purchasers of Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors.”  The Buydown Accounts shall be established with an Eligible Account, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder.  Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Buydown Account.  Funds deposited in the Buydown Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance with this Section 4.15.
 
(b)  With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have deposited into the Custodial Account, no later than the Closing Date, Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on all Due Dates in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payments which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (without regard to the related Buydown Agreement as if the Mortgage Loan were not subject to the terms of the Buydown Agreement).  With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Seller will distribute to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date an amount of Buydown Funds equal to the amount that, when added to the amount required to be paid on such date by the related Mortgagor, pursuant to and in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement, equals the full Monthly Payment that would otherwise be required to be paid on such Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as if the Mortgage Loan were not a Buydown Mortgage Loan and without regard to the related Buydown Agreement).
 
(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Seller may employ the Escrow Account as the Buydown Account to the extent that the Seller can separately identify any Buydown Funds deposited therein.
 
If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Seller or the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy) the Seller shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Purchaser all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Buydown Account.  Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan.  If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in it entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Seller shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement.  If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Buydown Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a Principal Prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Buydown Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.
 
ARTICLE V
PAYMENTS TO THE PURCHASER
 
Section 5.01.  Distributions.
 
On each Remittance Date, the Seller shall distribute by wire transfer to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus (iii) all payments in respect of Compensating Interest for such Remittance Date required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04(viii), minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts, (v) minus any amounts attributable to Buydown Funds being held in the Custodial Account, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts, and (vi) any Principal Prepayments received during the month of such Remittance Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the next succeeding Remittance Date.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two (2) percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.  Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.
 
Section 5.02.  Statements to the Purchaser.
 
The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Seller’s assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis.  With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser or its designee no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the following month an electronic copy of the surveillance data set forth on Schedule B attached hereto, and such other report which report shall contain the following (or such other information as is mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser):

The Seller shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby.  In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
 
In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.
 
Section 5.03.  Monthly Advances by the Seller.
 
Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all Monthly Payments, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, which were due on a Mortgage Loan on the immediately preceding Due Date and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.
 
The Seller’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and will continue through the earlier of: (i) the date of the termination or resignation, as applicable, of the Seller pursuant to Section 7.04, 8.01 or 9.01 or (ii) the date of final disposition and liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or any Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, unless the Seller reasonably believes such advance to be non-recoverable from proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan.  In such event, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller to the effect that an officer of the Seller has reviewed the related Servicing File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are non-recoverable from proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE VI
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 6.01.  Assumption Agreements.
 
The Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any.  If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the Seller is prohibited under applicable law from (a) entering into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed or (b) requiring the original Mortgagor to remain liable under the Mortgage Note, the Seller, with the prior consent of the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note.  Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
 
In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Fannie Mae Guides.  With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed.  If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.  All fees collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Seller as additional servicing compensation.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.  For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
 
Section 6.02.  Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a Servicing Officer, 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 or its designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process 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 or the Purchaser.  If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
 
In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Seller shall remit within five (5) Business Days to the Purchaser of such satisfaction or release the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account.
 
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, the Purchaser or its designee shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser or its designee of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release 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 such Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser or its designee when the need therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser or its designee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.  Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser or its designee to the Seller.
 
Section 6.03.  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 Servicing Fee.  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges, interest and investment earning on funds on deposit in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account (to the extent provided for herein) and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.  The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein.  The Seller shall not be permitted to retain any portion of the Prepayment Penalties collected on the Mortgage loans, which Prepayment Penalties shall be remitted to the Purchaser.
 
Section 6.04.  Annual Statement as to Compliance.
 
The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than March 15th of each year, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof.  The first Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be delivered on or before March 15, 2007.  Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser upon request.
 
Section 6.05.  Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
 
Not later than March 15th of each year, the Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Seller’s servicing of residential mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, such firm is of the opinion that the Seller’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with such programs, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.  The first statement delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be delivered on or before March 15, 2007.  Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser.
 
Section 6.06.  Purchaser’s Right to Examine Seller Records.
 
At its expense, the Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Seller, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Seller, or held by another for the Seller or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

THE SELLER
 
Section 7.01.  Indemnification; Third Party Claims.
 
The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser, any successor servicer and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses, judgments or expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) that such parties may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements and to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, any Reconstitution Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant to Article XII or as a result of the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement.
 
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.01 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.01, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 7.01, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability which it may have, otherwise than under this Section 7.01.  The indemnifying party shall assume (with the consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including attorney’s fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the indemnified party in respect of such claim.  The indemnifying party shall follow any written instructions received from the indemnified party in connection with such claim.  The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated (including by means of sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the Seller’s assets), or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be qualified and in good standing to sell and service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
 
Section 7.03.  Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.
 
The duties and obligations of the Seller shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Seller.  Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto as is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.  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 shall be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to the Seller’s indemnification under Sections 3.03 or 7.01.
 
Section 7.04.  Seller Not to Resign.
 
The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser.  No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

TO:                      Wachovia Mortgage Corporation  (“Seller”)
 
FROM:                Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“Citigroup” or the “Purchaser”)
 
RE:                       Confirmation ([DEAL NAME])

 

This letter will serve as confirmation of the agreement by the Seller to sell and the agreement by the Purchaser to purchase, on a mandatory delivery basis, without recourse, certain first lien, adjustable rate, conventional, residential mortgage loans set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”), on a servicing retained basis, having an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $[____________] based upon the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of a mutually agreed upon cut-off date (the “Cut-off Date”) with the characteristics and under the terms set forth below.  Purchaser will purchase all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans (including the servicing rights thereon).  The Mortgage Loans are those loans more particularly described below and in Exhibit C hereto, which are made a part hereof and which generally describes the characteristics of the pool of Mortgage Loans to be purchased (including the relative proportions of certain mortgage loan characteristics present within the overall pool of mortgage loans to which the Mortgage Loans to be purchased should substantially conform as of the Cut-off Date unless otherwise indicated herein). The Mortgage Loans were originated by the Seller.  Seller owns the servicing rights for the Mortgage Loans and is currently servicing the Mortgage Loans.  The terms and provisions of this transaction, including the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans and the corresponding servicing rights, are described below. All references to Purchaser are also deemed to include Purchaser’s assignees or designees as set forth in the Agreement (defined below). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.
 
1.
Cut-off Date:
 
[_________], 2006 or such other date as mutually agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser.  The Cut-off Date will be used for the purpose of establishing the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans to be sold on the Closing Date.
       
2.
Closing Date:
 
[________], 2006 or such other date as may be agreed upon between the parties hereto.
       
3.
Servicing Transfer Date:
 
The Servicing Transfer Date will be the date that the Purchaser assumes the physical servicing duties of the Mortgage Loans.  The actual transfer date will be no later than [______], 2006, unless mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller.
       
4.
Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance:
 
$[________] (+/- 5%)
 
 
 
5.
Gross WAC:
 
[________]% (+/- 10 basis points).
       
6.
Net WAC
 
[________]% (+/- 10 basis points).
       
7.
Purchase Price Percentage/Funding Amount:
 
The purchase price for each Mortgage Loan purchased on the Settlement Date (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to the sum of (i) [____]% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan being purchased as of the Cut-off Date, after application of payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest at the related mortgage interest rate from the paid-through date through the day prior to the Closing Date, inclusive (assuming a year of twelve thirty-day months) less the Servicing Fee.  The Purchase Price assumes that certain characteristics will remain within the specified variances set forth herein or on Exhibit C.  The Purchase Price was obtained by using the related Bond Equivalent Yield plus an 18% constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) assumption (collectively the “Parameters”), and calculated using Bloomberg BC35 Calculators attached as Exhibit B.
       
     
On the Closing Date, should the related Gross WAC, WAM, WAMR or Margin vary within the related allowable variances, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to the outlined Parameters (“Adjusted Purchase Price”) in order to maintain the above Bond Equivalent Yield.
       
     
The Purchase Price or Adjusted Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller  in immediately available funds by wire transfer on the related Closing Date.
       
8.
Buy-Up/Buy-Down:
 
The purchase price has been established based upon the Settlement Date principal balance of the Mortgage Loans, a weighted average gross coupon of [____]%  (the “Pricing Coupon”), a weighted average gross margin of [_____]% (the “Pricing Margin”) and material compliance with the Mortgage Loan characteristics specified on Exhibit C hereto and the other material terms of our agreement specified herein.  Subject to the buy-up and buy-down provisions specified below, Citigroup shall be under no obligation to accept anything less than strict compliance with the terms of our agreement and shall not be required to accept delivery of non-complying Mortgage Loans.  In the event that Citigroup elects, in its sole discretion, to accept non-complying Mortgage Loans, the purchase price shall be adjusted to a percentage of par agreed to by you and Citigroup.
 
In the event that any Mortgage Loans are substituted or rejected and the weighted average gross coupon for such Mortgage Loans is different from the related Pricing Coupon on the Settlement Date (provided that, the average gross coupon for such Mortgage Loans may not vary more than 20 basis points from the related Pricing Coupon on the Settlement Date), the Purchase Price Percentage for the Mortgage Loans will be adjusted as follows:
 
I.           Buy-Up Coupon Rate Adjustment
 
(a)            determine the number of basis points, not to exceed 20 basis points, by which the actual weighted average gross coupon for the Mortgage Loans exceeds the related Pricing Coupon;
 
(b)     multiply the result in (a) by 1.5;
 
II.           Buy-Down Coupon Rate Adjustment
 
(c)            determine the number of basis points, not to exceed 20 basis points (expressed as a negative number), by which the actual weighted average gross coupon for the Mortgage Loans is less than the related Pricing Coupon;
 
(d)            multiply the result in (c) by 1.00;
 
III.           Buy-Up Margin Adjustment
 
(e)            determine the number of basis points by which the actual weighted average gross margin on the Mortgage Loans exceeds the Pricing Margin;
 
(f)            multiply the amount in (e) by 0.50;
 
IV.           Buy-Down Margin Adjustment
 
(g)            determine the number of basis points (expressed as a negative number) by which the actual weighted average gross margin on the Mortgage Loans is less than the Pricing Margin;
 
(h)            multiply the amount in (g) by 0.50;
 
V.           Purchase Price Adjustment
 
(i)           add the result from (b), (d), (f) and (h) above, if such sum is a positive number it will be added to the Purchase Price Percentage and if such sum is a negative number, it will be subtracted from the Purchase Price Percentage.
       
9.
Payoffs:
 
As of the Cut-off Date, you shall not have received notice that any of the Mortgage Loans will be prepaid-in-full.  The Purchaser or its assignee shall be entitled to receive all prepayment penalties required to be paid by any borrower under the terms of any Mortgage Loan after the related Cut-off Date and Seller shall not waive any prepayment penalty other than in accordance with the Agreement.  For any Mortgage Loans that prepay-in-full within one (1) month following the related Settlement Date, you shall remit to Citigroup or its Assignee the Premium (as defined below) with respect to such prepaid Mortgage Loan; provided that, the amount of such Premium that is reimbursed to Citigroup shall be reduced, but not below zero dollars, by the amount of any prepayment penalty collected by Citigroup with respect to such Mortgage Loan. With respect to each prepaid Mortgage Loan, the Premium shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess of the purchase price percentage used to determine the purchase price in Section 7 hereof over 100%, times (y) the outstanding principal balance of such prepaid Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date.
       
10.
 
Early Payment Defaults:
 
In the event that (i) the first monthly payment of principal and interest to be made by the mortgagor after the Settlement Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan is not paid by the date which is thirty (30) days after the related due date (the “EPD Period”) or (ii) any Mortgagor becomes the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding during the EPD Period, you shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan within five (5) Business Days following (a) receipt of notice from the Purchaser of such payment default with respect to clause (i) and (b) discovery of such bankruptcy proceeding with respect to clause (ii), at a price equal to the purchase price percentage used to determine the purchase price in Section 7 hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan to be repurchased as of the date of repurchase, plus accrued interest thereon at the mortgage loan interest rate from the last paid installment date through the last day of the month in which such repurchase occurs.
       
11.
Servicing:
 
The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by the Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement to be entered into between the Purchaser and the Seller on a scheduled/scheduled basis.  You shall remit payments of principal and interest to Citigroup on the 18th day of each month (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately succeeding business day) beginning with the month after the Settlement Date, shall enforce “due-on-sale” provisions to the extent permitted by law, shall administer all escrow/impound deposits, shall pay compensating interest on principal prepayments in any month up to the amount of your Servicing Fee in such month and shall make all servicing advances and monthly advances on any Mortgage Loan (including advances of delinquent principal and interest payments). You shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances from recoveries from the mortgagor or from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan.  You shall be entitled to a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan calculated at the rate of [____%] per annum.  The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, in arrears, and for any partial month, pro rated on a per diem basis.  The Servicing Fee is payable solely from the interest portion of monthly payments collected by you.
       
12.
Pool Characteristics:
 
The Mortgage Loans will substantially conform to the pool characteristics as set forth in Exhibit C. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans or are cooperative share mortgage loans. None of the Mortgage Loans are secured by mobile homes, manufactured housing, commercial property, mixed-use property, are construction loans that have not converted to permanent loans or are made for the purchase of land only.  No appraisal in connection with a Mortgage Loan was obtained using an automated valuation model.  No Mortgage Loan was delinquent 30 days or more at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is a buydown mortgage loan.
       
13.
Due Diligence:
 
Prior to, but not following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will be permitted to conduct such due diligence review, as it deems appropriate.  Such review may include (but not necessarily be limited to), for some or all of the Mortgage Loans, an analysis of the credit, collateral and compliance documentation within the Mortgage Loan origination files, a review of mortgagor credit and/or mortgage scores, a review of payment histories for the Mortgage Loans, and the review of current appraisals or broker’s price opinions ordered by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will conduct its credit review of the Mortgage Loans based upon Seller’s underwriting guidelines provided as Exhibit C.  In addition, the Seller will provide Purchaser with credit scores for each of the Mortgage Loans or the information and authorization necessary for the Purchaser to generate credit scores.  Seller will be permitted with the consent of the Purchaser to substitute for any Mortgage Loan rejected by the Purchaser pursuant to its due diligence review.  However, such substituted Mortgage Loan will be subject to the same review by Purchaser for acceptability as described herein.  Purchaser will be responsible for the costs of its due diligence.  In the event that Purchaser’s due diligence reveals a material variance in the quality of the Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser’s underwriting, legal or compliance standards (or a material variance in the overall characteristics of the Mortgage Loan pool from those pool characteristics set forth on Exhibit C), as determined by the Purchaser in its sole reasonable discretion, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase such Mortgage Loans or the purchase price shall be adjusted to an amount mutually agreed upon by the parties. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete due diligence review shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successors') rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy provided for in the Agreement.
       
     
You shall deliver a mortgage loan schedule containing each of the fields set forth on Exhibit D hereto at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date.  In the event that Citigroup discovers any errors on the Mortgage Loan Schedule during its due diligence review, you shall promptly deliver a corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule to Citigroup.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement shall be based on the corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule.
       
14.
Original Mortgage Loan Legal
Documents:
 
For the purpose of expediting the Purchaser’s review of the Mortgage Loan legal files, no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date the Seller will deliver to a document custodian acceptable to Purchaser (the “Custodian”), as bailee, the original mortgage notes, mortgages/deeds of trust, assignments of mortgage/deed of trust (the “Assignments”), title policies (including all endorsements thereon), powers of attorney (if applicable) and other Mortgage Loan legal documents (collectively, the “Collateral”) required to be delivered pursuant to the Agreement (as defined below).  The Agreement contains provisions permitting the Seller to deliver certain of the Collateral subject to recording delays during a period subsequent to the Closing Date.  The Custodian will act as bailee for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Seller pursuant to a bailee agreement among the Seller, the Custodian and the Purchaser.  Upon receipt of the Funding Amount, the Seller will release the collateral to the Purchaser.  Subsequent to such release, the collateral shall be retained by the Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser.  Seller will bear the cost of the delivery of the collateral files to Purchaser.
       
15.
Assignments/Endorsements:
 
The mortgages (or deeds of trust, as the case may be) shall be assigned via Assignments from the Seller at the direction of the Purchaser which Assignments shall be in form and substance acceptable for recording.  The Seller will endorse the notes at the direction of the Purchaser. The notes and mortgages/deeds of trust will have corresponding endorsements and assignments, respectively, evidencing a complete chain of title from the originator of the Mortgage Loan to the Seller. If any of the Mortgage Loans were originated by institutions acquired by or merged with successor institutions, then the language contained in the note endorsements and Assignments from the Seller to the Purchaser for such Mortgage Loans will reflect any predecessor institution(s) such that a complete chain of title from the originator to the Seller is evident.  The Seller will be responsible for handling the process and the expense of recording the Assignments.
       
16.
Agreement:
 
This transaction is subject to the execution of a Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, to be executed between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Agreement”).  The Agreement will contain, among other things, standard corporate level representations and warranties of the Seller, representations and warranties as to the origination, servicing and characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans modified to conform with the predatory lending requirements and other requirements, if any, of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Fitch, Inc. and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. which may be issued prior to the Closing Date, “life of loan” indemnification from the Seller, provisions relating to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loan files and interim servicing of the Mortgage Loans, the breach of any representations and warranties in the Agreement, provisions relating to the sale and transfer of the servicing rights, and other miscellaneous provisions (including a requirement for such customary legal opinions from the Seller as the Purchaser and its legal counsel may require).  The Purchaser will provide Seller with the form of Agreement under separate cover.
       
17.
 
Non-solicitation:
 
Seller hereby agrees that it will not during the remaining term of any of the individual Mortgage Loans, take any action or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or independent contractors working on its behalf, to solicit the prepayment of said Mortgage Loans by the mortgagors, without the prior written consent and approval of the Purchaser.  Promotions undertaken by the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspapers, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation.  The Agreement will contain a representation substantially conforming to the preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that statement messaging, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 17.
       
18.
 
 
Delinquency:
 
All of the Mortgage Loans have a monthly due date of the first day of the month.  As of the Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual paid-to date of [____] 1, 2006 (or later) and will be due for the [____] 1, 2006 scheduled monthly payment (or later). The mortgagor’s scheduled [____] 1, 2006 payment will be evidenced by a “posting” to the Seller’s collection system.  Copies of such collection system “postings” will be made available by the Seller to Purchaser if Purchaser so requests. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the Cut-off Date nor has any scheduled monthly payment been delinquent since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  For the 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.
       
19.
 
 
Closing/Closing Documents:
 
The closing may occur via facsimile transmission.  On or before the initial Closing Date, you shall submit to the Purchaser fully executed originals of the following documents: (i) the Agreement, in four counterparts; (ii) a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6 to the Agreement; (iii) an Escrow Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 7 to the Agreement; (iv) an Officer’s Certificate, in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Agreement, including all attachments thereto; and (vi) your underwriting guidelines.  On or before each Closing Date, you shall submit to the Purchaser fully executed originals of the following documents: (i) the related this Confirmation; (ii) the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; (iii) an Officer’s Certificate, in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Agreement; (iv) you underwriting guidelines; (v) a Security Release Certification, in the form of Exhibit 3 to the Agreement; and (vi) an Assignment and Conveyance in the form of Exhibit 4 to the Agreement.
       
20.
Further Assurances:
 
The Purchaser and the Seller further agree that upon reasonable request they shall do such other and further acts and deeds, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver and record such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary from time to time to evidence, confirm or carry out the intent and purposes of this letter (including cooperation with regard to the future securitization of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser (or an affiliated entity)).  The servicing transfer will be made by an electronic data processing method.
       
21.
MI Coverage:
 
All Mortgage Loans with an original loan to value ratio in excess of 80% will have mortgage insurance with coverage in amounts as required by Fannie Mae for its conventional “A” quality mortgage loan programs. None of the Mortgage Loans have “lender-paid” mortgage insurance.
       
22.
 
 
Expenses:
 
Each party will bear its own costs, fees and expenses (including the costs, fees and expenses of its attorneys).  Seller will bear the cost of the delivery of the Collateral files to the Custodian (including any costs owed to Seller’s custodian related to the release and shipment of the Collateral files to Purchaser); the costs of preparing and recording the Assignments (including intervening assignments necessary to perfect title to Purchaser) from Seller to Purchaser and endorsing notes to Purchaser, as required; the costs of delivering complete master-file tape information and other electronically stored information to Purchaser; the costs of notifying the mortgagors, hazard, flood and mortgage insurance companies, and others, as necessary, and the costs of shipping all Mortgage Loan records and servicing-related files to the Purchaser.  Seller shall assign to the Purchaser its “lifetime” tax service contracts and its “lifetime” flood certification contracts for each Mortgage Loan on which servicing is being transferred, which assignment shall not result in the payment of any cost or expense by Citigroup. Any costs associated with the inability of the tax service contracts or flood certification contracts to be assigned to Purchaser shall be borne by the Seller.  The Purchaser will be responsible for the costs of its due diligence.
       
23.
Confidential Information:
 
Seller shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the other’s written consent, the price paid by the Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent that it is appropriate to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities and other governmental agencies.
       
24.
Entire Agreement:
 
This letter sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof to date and supercedes and cancels any prior communications, understandings and agreements between the parties.  This letter may not be amended or modified except by parties in writing.  This letter may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.
       
25.
Failed Trade:
 
If there is a failure to meet the settlement date based on seller missing diligence guidelines we will only pay accrued to original settlement.
       
26.
Mandatory Delivery:
 
The sale and delivery of all of the Mortgage Loans on each Closing Date is mandatory, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of the Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.
