The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement;

(n)

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans, delivery of the Mortgage File to the Purchaser, or its designee, and transfer of the servicing rights associated with such Mortgage Loans, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage Loan Document. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. With respect to the representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. The Seller shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty (60) day period, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option and not later than the next Determination Date either repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute a mortgage loan for the Defective Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price.

If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

If the Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03 as a result of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, within two (2) years from the Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a principal balance at the time of substitution not in excess of the principal balance of the defective Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the defective Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account), (b) have a Mortgage Interest Rate not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, of the same type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property) as the removed Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan to Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan, (f) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, have an Equity Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan, (g) have the same lien priority as that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (h) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, in material compliance with the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and described in Section 3.02 as of the date of substitution.

The Seller shall amend the 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.

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 8.01, 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 8.01, 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 9.01 and 10.01.

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 of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer 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 Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer 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. Any such agreement shall be approved by any applicable holder of a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if required.

The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, 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 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 five (5) Business Days from the date the Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from the Servicer.

The Servicer shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly basis.

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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance or LPMI Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall be initiated within one hundred twenty (120) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Servicer 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 Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to restoration expenses in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000). The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer, with the consent of the Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within three (3) years after becoming 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 three years after its becoming 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 Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, the Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Section 4.04

Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

Upon request, 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.

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 the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent purchaser.

The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, 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:

Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv).

Section 4.05

Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii)

to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Interim 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 Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05, the Servicer’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;

(iv)

to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation: (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and (b) the Interim Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, 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; and

all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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.

Section 4.07

Permitted Withdrawals From the Escrow Account.

(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;

Section 4.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance or LPMI Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each first lien 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 ___% or less in the case of a first lien Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of ___% or as required by state or federal law. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the 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 Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer 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 Servicer 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 prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor 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 Xxxxxx Mae and/or Xxxxxxx 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 Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx 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. The Servicer 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 Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with 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 Servicer or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Xxx 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 Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

Section 4.11

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an issuer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and/or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been 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 Servicer 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 Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12

Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies 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 Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer 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 Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides. The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Servicer 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 or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer 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 Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Servicer 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 Servicer to the Purchaser.

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 three (3) years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer 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, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for less than the appraised value, without the prior consent of the Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ___________ percent (___%) of its appraised value, without the prior consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement from the Purchaser for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances. All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. 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 Purchaser. The Servicer shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser’s sole option, terminate the Servicer as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Servicer shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed by withdrawal from the Custodial Account for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances of the Servicer’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.02 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee.

Section 4.14

Notification of Maturity Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer 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.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer 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 Servicer 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.

The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the earliest to occur of: (a) the Servicing Transfer Date; (b) the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan; or (c) through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property is liquidated, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be non-recoverable.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01

Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer 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 Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer, with the approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), 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 Servicer 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 Servicer, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any assumption for which the Purchaser was given notification and requested to consent, but for which neither a consent nor an objection was given by the Purchaser within two Business Days of such notification.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. If the credit 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. The Servicer 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 Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

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

Section 6.02

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage 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 immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Servicer, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Servicer shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than three (3) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable Mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. 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 Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account.

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, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return such Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or 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 Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Servicer. The Servicer shall indemnify the Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage or misplacement of any documentation delivered to the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 6.03

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to the amount provided for as the Servicer’s Interim Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to the Purchaser as of ___________________ of each year, beginning with 20___, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer 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. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser upon request.

Section 6.05

Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year, beginning in its 2002 fiscal year, the Servicer 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 Servicer’s servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in 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 Servicer’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements upon execution by the Purchaser of an agreement to keep confidential the contents of such financial statements.

Section 6.06

Purchaser’s Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

Section 6.07

Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, at the Servicer’s expense, such periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate in respect to the Purchaser, or otherwise in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Purchaser all such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with marketing the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser audited financial statements of the Seller and the Servicer for the most recently completed two (2) fiscal years for which such statements are available, as well as a consolidated statement of condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by any consolidated statement of operations. If it has not already done so, the Seller and the Servicer shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser or a prospective purchaser copies of the statements specified above; provided, however, that prior to furnishing such statements or information to any prospective purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer may require such prospective purchaser to execute a confidentiality agreement in a form satisfactory to the Seller or Servicer, as applicable.

The Servicer shall make reasonably available to the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective purchaser to inspect the Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Servicer has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.

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

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans during the Interim Servicing Period in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Seller to observe and perform its duties, obligations, and covenants in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement, (iii) any act or omission on the part of the Seller or any other person or entity in the origination, receiving, processing, funding or servicing of any Mortgage Loan prior to the related Servicing Transfer Date or otherwise arising from the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans provided for in this Agreement or (iv) the Seller’s inability to effect or cause the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer pursuant to subsection 7.01 of this Agreement. An indemnifying party hereunder shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or a Mortgage Loan, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim, but failure to so notify the Purchaser shall not limit its obligations hereunder. An indemnifying party hereunder shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse an indemnifying party hereunder for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of either the Seller or the Servicer. The Seller agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Purchaser unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement and transfer of the servicing rights.

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Servicer may sustain in any way related to the negligent or improper servicing of the Mortgage Loans after the Servicing Transfer Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 8.01, the Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold the Servicer harmless from and against that portion of any claim for indemnification that arises from any fact or circumstance for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01.

Merger or Consolidation of the Seller or the Servicer.

Each of the Seller and the Servicer 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 either the Seller or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which either the Seller or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of either the Seller or the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Seller or of the Servicer, as applicable, 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 or (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $_________________, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03

Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

None of the Seller, the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller or the Servicer 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, 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 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, the Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller and the Servicer 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 Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Section 8.04

Servicer Not to Resign.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Purchaser 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 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 Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01.

Section 8.05

No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser’s sole discretion.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.02, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer (other than with respect to accrued but unpaid Monthly Advances, Servicing Advances and Interim Servicing Fees remaining unpaid) or any third party.

the Servicer fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice of termination, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

If any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination or resignation (as described in Section 8.04) of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.

Section 9.02

Waiver of Defaults.

The Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

Successor to the Servicer.

Prior to termination of Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 or 10.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section3.01 and the indemnification obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 8.05, 9.01, 10.01, or 10.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

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

Section 12.02

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time as follows: (a) with respect to Mortgage Loans not yet purchased by the Purchaser, by delivery of a written notification of amendment executed solely by the Purchaser, which amendment shall be effective from and after the date delivered to the Purchaser for all subsequent Mortgage Loans purchased hereunder; and (b) with respect to Mortgage Loans previously purchased by the Purchaser, by written agreement executed by the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer.
