“Closing Date Payment”).
(b) Servicing Assets.
(i) At least fifteen (15) days prior to each Servicing Assets Settlement Date,
Sellers shall provide to Purchasers a list of all Servicing Transactions, including all
relevant Assigned Servicing Agreements, with respect to which Servicing Rights are to be

(ii) At least ten (10) days prior to each Servicing Assets Settlement Date,
Servicing Assets Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a reconciliation of the related
Custodial Accounts for the Assigned Servicing Agreements including those related to the
Related Servicing Transactions setting forth as of the Servicing Calculation Date the sum of

shall prepare and deliver to Sellers (i) an updated Schedule 1.1(c) setting forth the

Statement and each Servicing Assets Settlement Statement, a
“Transfer Statement”) setting forth the
positive or negative amount (the “Servicing Assets Settlement Adjustment”) by which the
applicable Servicing Assets Settlement Payment exceeds their calculation of the applicable
Servicing Assets Purchase Price determined as of the Servicing Cut-off Date in accordance with
Exhibit B.
(c) With respect to each Transfer Statement, Sellers shall review each Transfer
Statement during the 15-day period commencing on the date Sellers receive such Transfer
Statement. At or prior to the end of such 15-day period, Sellers shall either:
(i) deliver a notice to Purchasers confirming their acceptance of the Transfer
Statement and Purchasers’ calculation of the applicable Transfer
Adjustment (a “Notice of Acceptance”); or
(ii) deliver a notice to Purchasers stating that Sellers disagree with the amounts
set forth on the Transfer Statement and/or Purchasers’ calculation of the applicable
Transfer Adjustment (a “Notice of Disagreement”), specifying the nature of such disagreement
and the adjustments Sellers seek to such Transfer Statement and/or the calculation of the
applicable Transfer Adjustment (the “Proposed Adjustments”).
22
If Sellers fail to deliver a Notice of Disagreement within 15 days of their receipt of the
applicable Transfer Statement, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted such Transfer Statement and
Purchasers’ calculation of such Transfer Adjustment.
(d) Purchasers shall, within 15 days of their receipt of a Notice of Disagreement, review the
Proposed Adjustments and notify Sellers which of the Proposed Adjustments Purchasers accept (if
any) and which of the Proposed Adjustments Purchasers reject (if any). Sellers and Purchasers shall
seek in good faith to resolve any differences that remain with respect to the Proposed Adjustments.
If Sellers and Purchasers are unable to resolve any Proposed Adjustment (the “Unresolved
Adjustments”) within ten days of commencing good faith negotiations, the Unresolved Adjustments
shall be submitted at the request of Sellers or Purchasers to an Independent Accounting Firm for
arbitration. The scope of the review by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to
resolution of any Unresolved Adjustments. Sellers and Purchasers shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving
the Unresolved Adjustments as promptly as practicable. The written decision delivered by the
Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. Sellers shall bear and pay a
percentage of the fees and disbursement of the Independent Accounting Firm that is equal to the
percentage of the total amount (in dollars) of Unresolved Adjustments that are approved by the
Independent Accounting Firm, and Purchasers shall bear and pay a percentage of the fees and
disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm that is equal to the percentage of the total
amount (in dollars) of Unresolved Adjustments that are not approved, in each case as determined by
the Independent Accounting Firm. Each party shall bear any fees and expenses incurred by its legal
and accounting advisors in connection with the preparation and review of the Transfer Statement and
Transfer Adjustment.
(e) Each Transfer Statement and Transfer Adjustment shall become final and binding on all
parties upon the earliest of (i) the date that a Notice of Acceptance is delivered to Sellers
pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(i), (ii) upon termination of the 15-day review period specified in
Section 3.2(c) if no Notice of Disagreement has been delivered to Sellers pursuant to
Section 3.2(c)(ii), (iii) the date Sellers and Purchasers reach agreement that such
Transfer Statement, together with any modifications upon which the parties have mutually agreed, is

writing any Unresolved Adjustments.
(f) Sellers and Purchasers shall provide the other (and their respective independent auditors)
with reasonable access to any books, records, working papers and employees as such party may
reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of each Transfer Statement
pursuant to this Section 3.2.
(g) If a Transfer Adjustment is a positive number, Purchasers shall pay, within three Business
Days after the related Transfer Statement becomes final and binding on the parties (as provided in
Section 3.2(e)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts
designated by Sellers, an amount equal to such Transfer Adjustment. If a Transfer Adjustment is a
negative number, Sellers shall pay, within three Business Days after the related Transfer Statement
becomes final and binding on the parties (as provided in
Section 3,2(f)), by
23
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Purchasers, an
amount equal to the absolute value of such Transfer Adjustment.
(h) If a Transfer Adjustment is a positive number, the applicable Purchase Price shall
be increased by the amount of such Transfer Adjustment; if a Transfer Adjustment is a negative
number, the applicable Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Transfer Adjustment.

Sellers agree to notify the insurance carrier(s) of this Agreement and to instruct said carrier(s)

or hereafter become due to any Seller.
6.27 Loan File Delivery.
(a) Sellers shall deliver all Loan Files related to the Non-Interim Serviced Purchased Loans
to Whole Loan Purchaser or its designee no later than the Closing Date. Seller shall deliver all

to deliver pursuant to this Section 6.27(b), Sellers agree to reimburse Whole Loan
Purchaser for all Whole Loan Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such documents,
including reasonable attorney fees. In addition, Sellers’ failure to timely deliver such documents
shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement entitling Whole Loan Purchaser to all remedies made
available pursuant to this Agreement, including indemnification pursuant to Article 11 of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Whole Loan Purchaser and Sellers
have entered into a bailee agreement mutually acceptable to the Parties with respect to the
delivery of any Loan File or any documents contained therein, Sellers shall not be liable for the
late delivery of such Loan File or documents pursuant to this clause (b).
41
6.28 Security Release. Sellers shall deliver to Purchasers no later than the Closing

with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan.
6.30 Loan Issues.
(a) Promptly following actual discovery by either Sellers or Purchasers of a breach of any
Seller Fundamental Representation in Section 4.5 in respect of a Purchased Loan (such
breach, a “Pre-Closing Loan Issue”), the party discovering the Pre-Closing Loan Issue shall
give written notice to the other no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.
Following delivery or receipt of any such notice, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cure any Pre-Closing Loan Issue to the reasonable satisfaction of Whole Loan Purchaser prior to
the second (2nd) Business Day prior to Closing. If such Pre-Closing Loan Issue is not
cured prior to such date, such loan shall be removed from Schedule 1.1 (a) and shall no
longer constitute a Purchased Loan for any purpose under this Agreement.
(b) After the Closing, upon actual discovery by either Sellers or Purchasers of a breach of
any Seller Fundamental Representation in Section 4.5 in respect of a Purchased Loan (such
Loss or breach, a “Purchased Loan Issue”), the party discovering such Purchased Loan Issue may give
written notice to the other of the actual discovery of such Purchased Loan Issue.
(c) Within thirty (30) days of written notice of any Purchased Loan Issue, Whole Loan
Purchaser shall discuss with Sellers possible strategies for mitigating or curing such Purchased
Loan Issue and Whole Loan Purchaser shall, if commercially reasonable, use commercially reasonable
efforts to pursue such strategies in accordance with its customary problem loan mitigation
procedures (it being understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Section 6.30, the
fact that the Whole Loan Purchaser has indemnification rights hereunder shall not be considered in
determining whether Whole Loan Purchaser acted in a commercially reasonable manner).
(d) If Whole Loan Purchaser determines, in good faith, that the Purchased Loan Issue cannot be
cured in accordance with its customary loan mitigation procedures and that, as a result, Whole Loan
Purchaser must dispose of such Purchased Loan, then Whole Loan Purchaser shall give Sellers no less
than ten (10) days prior written notice of its intention to secure a bid in an arms-length
transaction from a bona fide third party (such bid, a “Bid” and such price offered, the
“Bid Price”) for the relevant Purchased Loan. Whole Loan Purchaser
42
shall have full discretion to determine from whom and how to obtain such Bid. Following receipt of
the Bid, Whole Loan Purchaser may demand a remedy pursuant to this Section 6.30 by
notifying Sellers of the offer to purchase the relevant Purchased
Loan and the relevant Bid Price.
Sellers shall have one (1) Business Day from notice thereof to either (i) agree that such Purchased
Loan should be sold at such Bid Price and pay to Whole Loan Purchaser cash in an amount equal to
the difference between (x) the purchase price of such Purchased Loan as calculated as of the
Closing Date pursuant to Exhibit B less any principal payments actually received after the
Purchased Loans Cut-Off Date plus any then delinquent interest (the “Adjusted Purchase
Price”) and (y) the Bid Price, or (ii) acquire such Purchased Loan from Whole Loan Purchaser
for cash in an amount equal to its Adjusted Purchase Price. If Whole Loan Purchaser is unable to
obtain a Bid for the relevant Purchased Loan, then, at Whole Loan Purchaser’s request, Sellers
shall have the obligation to acquire such Purchase Loan for cash in an amount equal to its Adjusted
Purchase Price. Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of a demand by Whole Loan Purchaser,
Sellers shall make any payment required under this Section 6.30(d) by wire transfer to an
account or accounts designated by Whole Loan Purchaser.
(e) If Sellers are obligated to either pay any amounts or acquire a Purchased Loan
pursuant to clause (d) above, then Sellers shall indemnify Whole Loan Purchaser for all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Whole Loan Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of Sellers’
obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers’ obligations pursuant to this
Section 6.30 shall be in addition to any applicable indemnification obligations pursuant to
Section 11.2(a).
6.31 Interim Servicing. On or prior to October 1, 2008, Servicing Assets Purchaser and
the applicable Sellers shall enter into an interim servicing agreement on the terms set forth on
Exhibit O (the “Interim Servicing Agreement”) pursuant to which Servicing
Assets Purchaser shall act as interim contract servicer of the Purchased Loans (other than the
Non-Interim Serviced Purchased Loans) effective October 1, 2008 (the
“Servicing Transfer Date”).
Pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement, Servicing Assets Purchaser shall begin servicing such
Purchased Loans on the Servicing Transfer Date and shall be entitled to the servicing fees
specified on Exhibit O with respect to such Purchased Loans.
6.32 Post-Closing Transition Services. For a period of 90 days from the Closing (which
period shall be extended an additional 30 days at Purchasers’ request), Sellers shall provide
reasonable assistance and cooperation to Purchasers to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the Purchased Assets hereunder, including providing Purchasers with documents and information
reasonably requested by Purchasers, making Sellers personnel reasonably available to Purchasers by
telephone and e-mail, and providing other assistance and cooperation as may be reasonably necessary
to transition to Purchasers the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall Sellers or their Affiliates be required to (a) retain more than
five employees who would have otherwise been terminated in connection with providing such
assistance or cooperation or (b) hire any additional employees or outside agents or consultants in
order to provide such assistance or cooperation. Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with providing the cooperation and assistance
contemplated by this Section 6.32 shall be promptly reimbursed by Purchasers upon receipt of a
reasonably detailed invoice from Sellers therefor.

one or more Purchased Loans as a result of a matter that constitutes a breach of one or more
representations or warranties made by Sellers in this Agreement (none of which breached
representations or warranties constitutes a Seller Fundamental Representation) (such diminution in
value, a “Non-Fundamental Loan Loss”), then, notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary contained herein, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall bring a claim with respect to
such Non-Fundamental Loan Loss pursuant to Section 11.2(a) as a breach of a representation
and warranty and not pursuant to Section 11.2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the

this Agreement:
(a) The Seller Indemnified Parties shall have the right to payment by Purchasers under

incurred, as to all such matters
giving rise to indemnification under Section 11.3(a), indemnifiable Losses in excess of the
Deductible.

Purchasers to the Seller Indemnified Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby (including for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation
or warranty or for any breach of any covenant or obligation or for any other reason), in each case
relating to the Purchased Assets transferred on such Transfer Date, and the sole and exclusive
remedy of the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any of the foregoing, shall be as set

available to the Indemnified Person), the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations
alleged to have been breached and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the
Indemnifying Person, together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person
to determine that the limitations in Section 11.4 or Section 11.5, as applicable,
have been satisfied or do not apply; provided, that the failure of an Indemnified Person to
notify the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from its obligation to
indemnify only to the extent that the Indemnifying Person’s defense or other rights available to it
is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
11.7 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall
give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable after receiving written notice thereof, to the
Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or
proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this
Agreement, including any claim pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (a “Third Party
52
Claim”) (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such
claim together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person to determine
that the limitations in Section 11.4 or 11.5 have been satisfied or do not apply);
provided, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification
provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person’s defense or other rights available
to it has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Person may, at its
own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and (ii) upon written notice
to the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person’s delivering to the Indemnified Person a
written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for all Losses arising
out of such Third Party Claim and that the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the entire
amount of any Loss resulting therefrom, at any time during the course of any such Third Party Claim
assume the defense thereof; provided, that (A) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and (B) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter
consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such
consultation from time to time with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided,
further, that if such Third Party Claim involves a claim by a Government Entity, the
Purchaser Indemnified Party may elect to control the defense or settlement of such claim, at the
Indemnifying Person’s expense. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified
Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel, at its own cost and expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying
Person. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines (i) based on an opinion of
counsel that representation by the Indemnifying Person’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Person
and the Indemnified Person would be reasonably likely to present such counsel with a conflict of
interest or (ii) there is a reasonable probability that such claim may adversely affect it or its
Affiliates in any material respect (other than with respect to the payment of money damages in an
amount that does not exceed the respective caps set forth in Section 11.4 or Section
11.5), then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in
any such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such separate counsel. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other
in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim.
11.8 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be
made by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any Third Party
Claim shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may
be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided that (i) whether or not the
Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will not
admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim
without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the Indemnifying Person will not settle, compromise or
discharge any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, unless such
settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all Liability in
respect of such Third Party Claim, (y) does not subject the Indemnified Person to any injunctive
relief or other equitable remedy, and (z) does not include a statement or admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
53
11.9 Net Losses; Subrogation: Mitigation; Knowledge.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses
incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any
insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to
such Losses, (ii) any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) from
any other third party and (iii) any Tax benefit or detriment arising from the occurrence of such
Loss or the receipt or accrual of any indemnity payment in respect of such Loss as provided in
Section 11.9(b). Each Indemnified Person shall exercise reasonable best efforts to obtain
such proceeds, benefits and recoveries; provided that any additional out-of-pocket costs or
expenses resulting from such efforts shall be deemed Losses subject to indemnification hereunder.
If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Person (or any of its
Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Person has made a payment to the
Indemnified Person with respect thereto, the Indemnified Person (or such Affiliate) shall pay to
the Indemnifying Person the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of
the Indemnifying Person’s payment).
(b) Each Loss shall be calculated to take into account any Tax benefit or detriment arising
from the occurrence of such Loss or the receipt or accrual of any indemnity payment in respect of
such Loss, in each case, to the extent such Tax benefit or detriment is actually realized or
recognized in the taxable year in which such indemnity payment is made or in a prior taxable year,
the amount of such benefit or detriment to be determined by comparing the amount of the Indemnified
Person’s Tax liability taking into account the Tax benefit or detriment or both, arising from the
occurrence of such Loss or the receipt or accrual of such indemnity payment, or both, with the
amount of Tax liability such Indemnified Person would have incurred in the absence of such Tax
benefit or detriment, or the receipt or accrual of such indemnity payment, or both, provided that
any Tax benefit so taken into account in respect of any Indemnified Person shall be reduced and any
Tax detriment shall be increased by the amount of any out-of-pocket costs incurred by such
Indemnified Person to determine the amount of such Tax benefit or detriment.
(c) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses, the
Indemnifying Person shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates) against any third party (other than RMBS Purchaser or any
of its Affiliates, or any portfolio company of any investment fund managed by RMBS Purchaser or any
of its Affiliates) who has made a claim against such Indemnified Person (or its Affiliates) in
respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates)
and Indemnifying Person shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence
or further perfect such subrogation rights.
(d) Each of the Purchasers and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate any Losses.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to indemnification
or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in
this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements will not be affected by any investigation
conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being
54
acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Closing Date or any subsequent Servicing Assets Settlement Date, with respect to the accuracy or
inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
11.10 Purchase Price Adjustments. Any amounts payable under Section 11.2 or
Section 11.3 shall be treated by Purchaser and Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price.
ARTICLE 12.
TAX MATTERS
12.1 Proration.
(a) Liability for all real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad
volorem obligations levied with respect to any Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes
(but does not end on) the applicable Transfer Date (the “Apportioned Obligations”) shall be
apportioned between the applicable Seller and applicable Purchaser based on the number of days of
such taxable period included in the period ending on (but not including) the applicable Transfer
Date (the “Pre-Transfer Tax Period”) and the number of days of such taxable period included
in the period after the Pre-Transfer Tax Period (the “Post-Transfer Tax Period”). The
applicable Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that
is attributable to the Pre-Transfer Tax Period. The applicable Purchaser shall be liable for the
proportionate amount of such Apportioned Obligations that is attributable to the Post-Transfer Tax
Period.
12.2 Transfer Taxes. All sales, use and transfer taxes, including any value added,
stock transfer, gross receipts, stamp duty and real, personal, or intangible property transfer
taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), due by reason of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereunder, including any interest or penalties in respect thereof, shall
be apportioned fifty percent to Sellers and fifty percent to Purchasers. All such Transfer Taxes
apportioned to Sellers and to Purchasers shall be paid by Sellers and Purchasers, respectively, by
no later than the due date for paying such Transfer Taxes. The Party responsible by Law for filing
the applicable Tax Return relating to such Transfer Taxes, shall timely prepare and file, or cause
to be filed, any such returns, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application
or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. Sellers or Purchasers, as the case may be, shall pay the other
Party, not later than five Business Days before the due date for payment of such Transfer Taxes, in
an amount equal to fifty percent of the Transfer Taxes shown on such return or other filing for
which such party is liable under this Section 12.2, and Sellers and Purchasers shall,
following the filing thereof, provide Purchasers and Sellers, respectively, with a copy of such
return or other filing and a copy of a receipt showing payment of any such Transfer Tax.
12.3 Preparation of Tax Returns.
(a) Sellers shall be responsible for filing all Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased
Assets or income attributable therefrom for taxable periods ending on or before the applicable
Transfer Date. Such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and complete in all material
55
respects; and all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid by Sellers
as and when required by Law.
(b) Purchasers shall be responsible for filing all Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased
Assets or income attributable therefrom for taxable periods beginning after the applicable Transfer
Date; it being understood that all Taxes indicated as due and payable on such returns shall be the
responsibility of Purchasers, except for such Taxes which are the responsibility of Sellers
pursuant to Section 12.2.
(c) If permitted by a Taxing Authority, Purchasers shall file a Tax Return and pay Taxes
related to the applicable Post-Transfer Tax Period and Sellers shall file separate Tax Returns and
separately pay their Taxes for the applicable Pre-Transfer Tax Period, provided however
that any such Tax Returns relating to such Post-Transfer Tax Period or Pre-Transfer Tax Period
shall not be filed without the other applicable party’s prior review and comment and shall be
prepared on a basis consistent with past practice to the extent permitted by Law. If filing a Tax
Return for the applicable Post-Transfer Tax Period separate from a Tax Return for the applicable
Pre-Transfer Tax Period is not permitted, the applicable Purchaser shall prepare and file or cause
to be prepared and filed the applicable Tax Return relating to both such Tax Periods, and shall
make reasonable revisions to such Tax Return as are requested by Sellers unless otherwise required
by applicable Law. No later than ten (10) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, Sellers
shall pay to the applicable Purchaser (in immediately available funds) the amount of any Taxes due
in respect of such Tax Return relating to or attributable to the applicable Pre-Transfer Tax
Period.
12.4 Tax Cooperation and Contest.
(a) Purchasers and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon
request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and
assistance relating to the Purchased Assets as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax
Return, the preparation for any tax audit, the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or
proceeding relating to any proposed tax adjustment relating to the Purchased Assets. Purchasers and
Sellers shall keep all such information and documents received by them confidential unless
otherwise required by law.
(b) Purchasers and Sellers agree to retain or cause to be retained all books and records
pertinent to the Purchased Assets until the applicable period for assessment of taxes under
applicable law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired, and such
additional period as necessary for any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to any
proposed assessment, and to abide all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing
authority. Purchasers and Sellers agree to give the other reasonable notice prior to transferring,
discarding or destroying any such books and records relating to tax matters and, if so requested,
Purchasers and Sellers shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and
records.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have the sole right to
control the conduct and resolution of any audit, litigation, contest, dispute, negotiation, or
other proceeding with any Taxing Authority that relates to Taxes of the Purchased
56
Assets or income attributable therefrom (a “Contest”) that Sellers could be required to
indemnify pursuant to Section 11.2, provided however that (i) Sellers shall consult with
Purchasers and keep Purchasers informed regarding the progress and any potential compromise or
settlement of each such Contest; and (ii) Sellers shall not settle any such Contest without consent
of Purchasers, to the extent such settlement could adversely affect Purchasers in any material
respect, without Purchasers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). Purchasers shall have the
sole right to control the conduct of any other Contest not specifically referred to in the
preceeding sentence.
(d) Purchasers and Sellers shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Contest
and they shall each execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are
reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
12.5
Waiver of Bulk Sales Law Compliance. Compliance with the bulk sales laws of
the State of
New York or any other jurisdiction where Sellers conduct their business is hereby
waived by Purchasers. The Parties agree that any Liabilities incurred by Purchasers as a result of
such waiver shall constitute Retained Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement.

respective Affiliates, their representatives nor any other Person will have or be subject to any
liability to Purchasers, any of their Affiliates or their representatives resulting from the

shall not have or exercise any subrogation rights against PNA or such Seller. In the event that PNA
discharges payment or performance obligations of a Seller under this Agreement, PNA shall not have
or exercise any subrogation rights against such Seller. Until the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, Parent shall restrict at least $10 million in cash and cash equivalents at Parent to pay any
obligations under this Agreement.

under this Agreement, that is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such

payment is normally drafted. If you are currently drafting additional funds for
principal or escrow, this will be discontinued. If you do not want to continue the
automated payment program with Xxxxxx, please contact «Previous Servicer» Customer
Service Department at «CS Phone» «Hours of Operation», before «Transfer Date — 3 days».

|
Electronic Imaging Transfer |
|
|
|
Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP utilizes SourceCorp as an imaging solution vendor. The following
information is applicable when images are provided in lieu of servicing files: |
1. |
|
Transfer Methods and Security |
|
x. |
|
Xxxxxx prefers and SourceCorp will host an sFTP (Secure File
Transmission Protocol) site to which images may be transferred. However, if sFTP
delivery cannot be accomplished, the images may be provided via external USB hard
drives, DVDs, or CDs. The transfer protocol will either be sFTP (with or without
PGP encryption) or FTP with PGP encryption. |
16
Exhibit F-1
|
b. |
|
Image provider will furnish SourceCorp with their public sFTP
encryption key or
SourceCorp will furnish image provider with SourceCorp’s PGP
encryption key, depending on agreed upon process. |
|
|
c. |
|
If image delivery is accomplished by a transfer method other than sFTP,
images
that contain any customer information, such as account numbers, loan balance
information, payment histories, and social security numbers, must be securely
transmitted. |
|
a. |
|
Data/Files must be compressed in a uniquely named zip file, with a
maximum of
1 gigabyte per batch (zip file). Images must be uniquely named and must be valid
and viewable images that are properly indexed. The documents must be mapped
to the correct document type and contain only the essential pages. A standard
naming pattern will be established. An example is provided: |
|
|
|
|
<image provider>_<partner name>_<sequence#>.zip |
|
|
b. |
|
The zip file must be limited to 200 megabytes. |
|
|
c. |
|
Black and white (bitonal, not xxxx scale) images should be in Group IV,
multi-page tiff format. |
|
|
d. |
|
Color and grayscale images must be in jpg format. Jpg provides the dual
benefit
of a high quality image and a small file size. This is important for faster
retrieval
times. |
|
|
e. |
|
A compromise between unrecognizable bitonal tiff pictures and very
large color
tiff pictures are stippled Group IV tiff images. Stippling converts color tiffs to
bitonal tiff images, but in such a way that it approximates grayscale. When color
jpg’s have not been an option, stippled pictures have been used by some image
providers. |
An index file must be included in
every zipped file. The index must be named exactly the
same as the zip file with a mil extension. For example, a
Litton_batch1.zip will contain a
number of tiff files and an index named Xxxxxx_xxxxx0.xxx.
In addition to the index file, a listing of all applicable document types and definitions
must be provided as soon as it is determined that images will be available. Litton’s loading
system is able to accept pipe or tab delimited index files. The index file must contain the
required identification fields in this specific order:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R (Required)/ |
|
|
Field Name |
|
O (Optional) |
|
Description |
Image Source
Value
|
|
R
|
|
Xxxxxx predetermines this value for the customer. It assists Xxxxxx in
associating the image source with an index format and a staging area for
its related documents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Xxxxxx Loan
|
|
O
|
|
The pre-assigned Xxxxxx loan number (if available). |

|
|
If Xxxxxx receives vendor’s document type codes
in the index file, a complete list of the
potential document types must be provided. This
list is loaded into a cross-referenced table
and mapped to the proper Xxxxxx type. The
different document types must be as detailed as
possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
File Name
|
|
R
|
|
The file name must include the image name with
the correct file extension (i.e., imagel.tif)
along with the relative path of the image. For
instance, if the images are on a CD located
inside a subdirectory grouped by loan numbers,
Xxxxxx must have the subdirectory path included
in the file name (i.e., \111235\imagel.tif). |
|
|
|
|
|
Document ID
|
|
R
|
|
If the image files Xxxxxx receives are single
page tiffs, they must be identified by a unique
document ID. For instance, if a document
contains 5 pages, then there would be 5
different image files. To keep the image files
grouped together during the loading process,
each file must have the same document ID. In
this situation, a new document ID indicates a
new document is being loaded. |
|
|
|
|
|
Page Numbers
|
|
R
|
|
For single page tiffs, the page number field
indicates the page of the document being
loaded. The pages will contain the same
document ID when loaded, but with incremental
page numbers. For Group IV tiffs, this field
must be used to note the total number of pages
in the file. |

In
the previous example, the
relative path included in the index file contains only the
loan folder. The \Images\ folder is not needed because it is a constant, All the images
reside in this folder. The loan folder is required because there are many subdirectories
and the paths change.
This distinction is not required for Group IV tiffs, as they are already consolidated into
one document regardless of the number of pages.

Q. Electronic Imaging Transfer
Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP utilizes SourceCorp as an imaging solution vendor. The following
information is applicable when images are provided in lieu of servicing files:
|
1. |
|
Transfer Methods and Security |
|
x. |
|
Xxxxxx prefers and SourceCorp will host an sFTP (Secure File
Transmission Protocol) site to which images may be transferred. However, if sFTP
delivery cannot be accomplished, the images may be provided via external USB hard
drives, DVDs, or CDs. The transfer protocol will either be sFTP (with or without
PGP encryption) or FTP with PGP encryption. |
15
Exhibit F-2
|
b. |
|
Image provider will furnish SourceCorp with their public sFTP encryption key
or SourceCorp will furnish image provider with SourceCorp’s PGP encryption key,
depending on agreed upon process. |
|
|
c. |
|
If image delivery is accomplished by a transfer method other than sFTP,
images that contain any customer information, such as account numbers, loan balance
information, payment histories, and social security numbers, must be securely
transmitted. |
|
a. |
|
Data/Files must be compressed in a uniquely named zip file, with a maximum of 1
gigabyte per batch (zip file). Images must be uniquely named and must be valid and
viewable images that are properly indexed. The documents must be mapped to the correct
document type and contain only the essential pages. A standard naming pattern will be
established. An example is provided: |
|
|
|
|
<image provider>_<partner name>_<sequence#>.zip |
|
|
b. |
|
The zip file must be limited to 200 megabytes. |
|
|
c. |
|
Black and white (bitonal, not xxxx scale) images should be in Group IV, multi-page tiff format. |
|
|
d. |
|
Color and grayscale images must be in jpg format. Jpg provides the dual benefit
of a high quality image and a small file size. This is important for faster retrieval
times. |
|
|
e. |
|
A compromise between unrecognizable bitonal tiff pictures and very large color
tiff pictures are stippled Group IV tiff images. Stippling converts color tiffs to
bitonal tiff images, but in such a way that it approximates grayscale. When color jpg’s
have not been an option, stippled pictures have been used by some image providers. |
16
Exhibit F-2
|
3. |
|
Index File |
|
|
|
|
An index file must be included in every zipped file. The index must be named exactly the
same as the zip file with a mil extension. For example, a Litton_batch1.zip will contain a
number of tiff files and an index named Xxxxxx_xxxxx0.xxx. |
|
|
|
|
In addition to the index file, a listing of all applicable document types and definitions
must be provided as soon as it is determined that images will be available. Litton’s
loading system is able to accept pipe or tab delimited index files. The index file must
contain the required identification fields in this specific order: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R (Required)/ |
|
|
Field Name |
|
O (Optional) |
|
Description |
Image Source Value
|
|
R
|
|
Xxxxxx predetermines this value for the customer.
It assists Xxxxxx in associating the image source
with an index format and a staging area for its
related documents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Xxxxxx Loan Number
|
|
O
|
|
The pre-assigned Xxxxxx loan number (if available). |
|
|
|
|
|
Previous Servicer
Loan Number
|
|
R
|
|
The previous servicer’s loan number (required). |
|
|
|
|
|
Document_Type
|
|
R
|
|
If Xxxxxx receives vendor’s document type codes in
the index file, a complete list of the potential
document types must be provided. This list is
loaded into a cross-referenced table and mapped to
the proper Xxxxxx type. The different document
types must be as detailed as possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
File Name
|
|
R
|
|
The file name must include the image name with the
correct file extension (i.e., image1.tif) along
with the relative path of the image. For instance,
if the images are on a CD located inside a
subdirectory grouped by loan numbers, Xxxxxx must
have the subdirectory path included in the file
name (i.e., \111235\image1.tif). |
|
|
|
|
|
Document ID
|
|
R
|
|
If the image files Xxxxxx receives are single page
tiffs, they must be identified by a unique
document ID. For instance, if a document contains
5 pages, then there would be 5 different image
files. To keep the image files grouped together
during the loading process, each file must have
the same document ID. In this situation, a new
document ID indicates a new document is being
loaded. |
|
|
|
|
|
Page Numbers
|
|
R
|
|
For single page tiffs, the page number field
indicates the page of the document being loaded.
The pages will contain the same document ID when
loaded, but with incremental page numbers. For
Group IV tiffs, this field must be used to note
the total number of pages in the file. |

In the previous example, the relative path included in the index file contains only the loan
folder. The \Images\ folder is not needed because it is a constant. All the images reside in this
folder. The loan folder is required because there are many subdirectories and the paths change.
17
Exhibit F-2
This distinction is not required for Group IV tiffs, as they are already consolidated into
one document regardless of the number of pages.

(r) No Waiver of Defaults. Neither the applicable Seller nor any of its affiliates
nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event
which would permit acceleration.
(s) Payment Terms. No Purchased Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in negative amortization. Principal payments on the Purchased Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Purchased Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap, are as set
forth on the Purchased Mortgage Loan Schedule. Other than with respect to HELOCs and interest only
loans, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due
to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with
interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Purchased Mortgage Loan
fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from
commencement of amortization. The Purchased Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each
month. There are no Convertible Mortgage Loans in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, which contain a
provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable interest rate

applicable Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines and any applicable laws. The construction of such
condominium or planned unit development project has been completed and the homeowners’ association

managing such condominium or planned unit development project. No Seller has received notice of

(v) Transfer of Purchased Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except with
respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee), with respect
to each Purchased Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and
conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Sellers are not subject to the bulk
transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
(w) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The
Purchased Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or
partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller,

Exhibit H
the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor
nor, except with respect to a HELOC, does it contain any other similar provisions which may
constitute a “buydown” provision. Each Purchased Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage
loan and each Purchased Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature. To the extent any HELOC contains any buydown provision, such buydown funds have
been maintained and administered in accordance with, and such HELOC otherwise complies with, Xxxxxx
Mae/Xxxxxxx Mac requirements relating to buydown loans.
(x) Solvency. The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy.
(y) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior

amount of the Purchased Mortgage Loan.
(z) Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or, to the Sellers’ knowledge,
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property
(aa) Servicing Practices. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by
the applicable Seller, and any prior servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loan have
been in all respects in material compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices and have been in all
material respects legal and proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business.
With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of,
or under the control of the applicable Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
(bb) No Violation of Environmental Laws. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and
all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal
environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving
the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an
issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the
Mortgage Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of

property.

acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of the Purchases in any insurance
policies applicable to the Purchased Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, any

establishments of coinsured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Whole
Loan Purchaser.
(ii) No action has been taken or failed to be taken by Sellers on or
prior to the Closing Date, which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial
of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage insurance (including, without
limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the
availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder
to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions,
negligence, or fraud of the Sellers, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay
by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial

taken against the Mortgagor by such senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second
Lien Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien loan or (b) such
consent has been obtained and is contained in the related Loan File;
(iii) No Default Under First Lien. To the best of the applicable Seller’s
