From and after each Transfer Date or Sale Date, as applicable, the contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Owner or held by the Custodian shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Owner as the owner thereof. The Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable. The possession of each Servicing File by the Servicer is at the will of the Owner for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage File are vested in the Owner, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall vest immediately in the Owner and shall be retained and maintained by the Servicer, in trust, at the will of the Owner and only in such custodial capacity. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Owner, unless such release is required as incidental to the Servicer's servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan. All such costs associated with the release, transfer and re-delivery of any Servicing Files to the Servicer shall be the responsibility of the party in possession of such file or files, unless otherwise provided herein.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer agrees that it will cause the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loan has been assigned by the Servicer to the Owner in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of a Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS System to identify the Owner as the beneficial owner of such Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.02 Books and Records; Transfers of Mortgage Loans.

All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans, shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner as owner of the Mortgage Loans, and the Servicer shall retain record title to the related Mortgages for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing and the supervision of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Owner or the appropriate designee of the Owner, as the case may be.

To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Selling and Servicing Guide, as amended from time to time.

The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by any Owner or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans unless the books and records show such Person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Owner from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred. Such notification of a transfer shall include a final loan schedule which shall be received by the Servicer no fewer than five (5) Business Days before the last Business Day of the month. If such notification is not received as specified above, the Servicer’s duties to remit and report as required by Section 5 shall begin with the following Due Period.

Section 2.03 Custodial Agreement; Delivery of Documents.

The Servicer shall forward to the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution, provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within ten (10) days of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 60 days of its submission for recordation.

In the event the public recording office is delayed in returning any original document, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or the Custodian within 180 days of its submission for recordation, a copy of such document and an Officer's Certificate, which shall (i) identify the recorded document; (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay by the public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian. The Servicer will be required to deliver the document to the Owner or the Custodian by the date specified in (iv) above. An extension of the date specified in (iv) above may be requested from the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that in any event, the Servicer shall cause such document to be delivered to the Owner within one year of its submission for recordation.

In the event that new, replacement, substitute or additional Stock Certificates are issued with respect to existing Cooperative Shares, the Servicer immediately shall deliver to the Owner or the Custodian the new Stock Certificates, together with the related Stock Powers in blank. Such new Stock Certificates shall be subject to the related Pledge Instruments and shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement.

The Owner shall designate the Servicer to obtain Mortgage Files from the Custodian on behalf of the Owner. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Servicer may request the release of a Mortgage File held by the Custodian. The Servicer will provide the Custodian with two copies of a release request or an electronic release request in a format acceptable to the Custodian. The Servicer will be obligated to return the related Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or 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 Loan either judicially or non-judicially.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

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

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the REMIC Provisions if a Mortgage Loan has been transferred to a REMIC, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) make additional advances of additional principal or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent. In the event that no default exists or is imminent, the Servicer shall request written consent from the Owner to permit such a modification and the Owner shall provide written consent or notify the Servicer of its objection to such modification within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of the Servicer's request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer, within five (5) Business Days of Servicer’s request, any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Owner, in its own name, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from MERS registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Owner, 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 Owner and its successors and assigns. The Servicer will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.

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

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

The Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty which prepays during the term of the charge. If the Servicer fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty, the Servicer shall pay the Owner at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to amount of the Prepayment Penalty which was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (vi) below) a Prepayment Penalty without paying the Owner the amount of the Prepayment Penalty (i) if the Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more delinquent) and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) if the prepayment is not a result of a refinancing by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) if the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws, (iv) if the collection of such Prepayment Penalty would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters (v) the Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout of a delinquency or due to the borrower’s default, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit the imposition of such penalty and (vi) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure. The Servicer will provide to the Owner, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day of each month, a report as of the prior month’s end, of all Mortgage Loans subject to a Principal Prepayment in full during such month, including a description of the applicable Prepayment Penalty, the estimated amount to be collected and the amount actually collected. Upon request, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with documentation and explanation supporting the Servicer’s determination to waive any Prepayment Charge.

The Servicer shall pay the amount of any Prepayment Penalty (to the extent not collected and remitted to the Owner) to the Owner or its assignees if the Servicer waives any Prepayment Penalty other than as permitted under this Section 4.01. The Servicer shall pay the amount of such Prepayment Penalty, for the benefit of the Owner or any assignee of the Owner, by depositing such amount into the Custodial Account at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Owner, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property in excess of $2,000, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority). The Servicer be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated herein.

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

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

Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

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

Section 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Owner and/or subsequent owners of Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - P & I."

To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due.

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

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

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to verify that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained.

In the event that the Owner or the Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Servicer shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor's attention the required amount of coverage for the Mortgaged Property and if the Mortgagor does not obtain such coverage, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required coverage on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

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

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent.. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

The Servicer also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above.

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

Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Owner, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain mortgage impairment or a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire, flood and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the the Mortgage Properties securing Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10, is acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Servicer shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefore. The Servicer agrees to prepare and present claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such Owner a certificate of insurance and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to such Owner.

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

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

Section 4.13 Inspections.

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

Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Owner prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i)

the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii)

the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;

(iii)

the Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv)

pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

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

Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI Policy or LPMI Policy; Claims.

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

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner, in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

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

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed and 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 Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made an electronic report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner upon receipt. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Owner, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is necessary to sell any REO property the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. 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 before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Servicer provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall collect the related REO Disposition Fee, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees. On the Remittance Date immediately following the receipt of such sale proceeds, the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Owner.

With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer 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 REO Property. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Custodial Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

Each REO Account shall be established with the Servicer or, with the prior consent of the Owner, 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 E hereto. An original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to any Owner upon request.

The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, in a clearing account on a daily basis and in each REO Account within two Business Days of receipt, 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 fire and hazard insurance pursuant to this Agreement hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

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

Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

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

Section 4.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.

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

Section 4.20 Application of Buydown Funds.

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

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

Section 6.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

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

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed without the Owner’s consent. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage 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.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan. If the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.01 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Owner by a certification of a servicing officer of the Servicer (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 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Owner or the Owner's designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner, shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Servicer and the Servicer 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 Owner. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer 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 Owner, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (other than pursuant to a modification or liquidation in accordance with this Agreement) or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Owner, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account the entire outstanding principal balance, plus all accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan, on the day preceding the Remittance Date in the month following the date of such release. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

On or before each Transfer Date, the Owner will provide the Servicer with a loan level schedule identifying the Custodian, including contact information, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the Custodian’s reference number for each Mortgage Loan. The Owner shall designate the Servicer to obtain Mortgage Files from the Custodian on behalf of the Owner. Such designation will remain in effect until revoked by the Owner. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Servicer may request the release of a Mortgage File held by the Custodian. The Servicer will provide the Custodian with two copies of a release request or an electronic release request in a format acceptable to the Custodian. The Servicer will be obligated to return the related Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or 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 Loan either judicially or non-judicially. The Owner will instruct the Custodian to provide directly to the Servicer loan level exception reports, missing files and documents and to cooperate with the Servicer in the reconciliation of system data.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Owner to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds, to the extent permitted by Section 4.05) of such Monthly Payments.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.04 Annual Statements as to Compliance.

On or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or any Master Servicer or Depositor an officer’s certificate (each, an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) addressed to the Owner, any Master Servicer and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, to the effect that (a) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (b) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Owner to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the Servicer shall deliver an officer’s certificate of the Subservicer as described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to the Servicer.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Except with respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Securitization Transaction, on or before March 1^st, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this or similar Agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, 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. By providing Purchaser a copy of a Uniform Single Attestation Program Report from their independent public accountant's on an annual basis, Company shall be considered to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.05. Copies of such report shall be provided by the Owner to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer’s obligation to deliver such report under this Section, as to the Servicer or any Subservicer on an annual basis beginning with the report required in March 2007, Servicer shall be considered to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.05 for such calendar year with respect to that entity.

Section 6.06 Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Securitization Transaction, on or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall:

(i)

Such report shall be addressed to the Owner, such Master Servicer and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer and shall address each of the “Applicable Servicing Criteria” specified substantially on Exhibit H hereto (or those Servicing Criteria otherwise mutually agreed to by the Owner and the Servicer in response to evolving interpretations of Regulation AB;

Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(iii)

cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor, determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.24(b) to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.06; and

(iv)

Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 6.06(i) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto delivered to the Owner concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section 6.06(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.24.

The Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (iv) above may rely on the certification provided by the Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.

(iii) The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, including the Master Servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, (ii) have a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, and (iii) be a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing and shall satisfy any requirements of Section 12.01 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the Servicer.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement or any other liability which would otherwise be imposed under this Agreement.

In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Owner of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

Section 8.04 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer.

The Owner has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer and subsequent purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing rights hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder (other than pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.24) or any portion hereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.04, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder (other than pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.24) or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

(o)

the Servicer shall, at the Owner’s expense, make available to the Owner, its affiliates, successors or assigns an agreed-upon procedures letter concerning the aforementioned disclosures, which letter shall be issued by an accounting firm selected by the Servicer and acceptable to the Owner, its affiliates, successors or assigns, for inclusion in the offering materials for the securities created in the Securitization Transaction; and

(p)	in the event the Owner appoints a credit risk manager in connection with a Securitization Transaction, to execute a credit risk management agreement and provide reports and information reasonably required by the credit risk manager.

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Securitization Materials a material fact required to be stated in the Securitization Materials or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is other than a statement or omission arising out of, resulting from, or based upon the Servicer Information.

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

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

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 9.01(h) is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Servicer acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provisions of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of established and evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Owner, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. In the event of any conflict between Section 9.01 and any other term or provision in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 9.01 shall control.

The Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions any by reasonably limiting such request to information required, in the Owner’s reasonable judgment to comply with regulation AB.

All Mortgage Loans (i) not sold or transferred pursuant to Whole Loan Transfers, Agency Sales or Securitization Transactions or (ii) that are subject to a Securitization Transaction for which the related trust is terminated for any reason, shall remain subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on an actual/actual basis and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
