SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Remedies for Breach.

Subsection 7.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Seller, with respect to Mortgage Loans sold by it, hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date:

(a) Appraisal. Each Mortgage Loan contains a written appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and which complies with the requirements of FIRREA, and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser. The selection of the Qualified Appraiser was made independently of the broker (where applicable) and the originator’s loan sales and loan production personnel. The appraisal (i) was written in form and substance to customary Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac standards for mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) standards, (ii) was determined and written in accordance with current industry practices, and (iii) satisfies applicable legal and regulatory requirements. No appraisal or other property valuation referred to or used to determine any data listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule was more than 120 days old at the time of the Mortgage Loan closing.

(b) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for the Mortgage Loan includes objective mathematical principles that relate to the relationship between the Mortgagor’s income, assets, and liabilities and the proposed payment. The originator verified the Mortgagor’s income, employment, and assets and employed procedures designed to authenticate the documentation supporting such income, employment, and assets in accordance with its written Underwriting Guidelines and with respect to each Mortgage Loan whose document type on the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates documented income, employment, and/or assets. Such verification includes the transcripts received from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to a filing of IRS Form 4506-T. Where commercially reasonable, the originator utilized public and/or commercially available information in order to test the reasonableness of the income. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, other than a Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgagor documented his or her income by providing Form W-2 or tax returns, the originator employed a process designed to test the reasonableness of the income used to approve documented Mortgage Loans.

(c) Origination Practices. The origination practices used by the Seller and the collection and servicing practices used by the Seller, as Servicing Administrator, with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, in compliance with all Applicable Laws, and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry and the collection and servicing practices used by the Seller, as Servicing Administrator, have been consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures and the applicable Mortgage Note. The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by Applicable Law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by Applicable Law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinanced Mortgage Loan.

(d) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under Applicable Law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and no improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any zoning law or regulation.

(e) Occupancy Review. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller gave due consideration at the time of origination to factors, including but not limited to other real estate owned by the Mortgagor, commuting distance to work, and appraiser comments and notes, and any difference between the mailing address in the servicing system and the Mortgaged Property address, to evaluate whether the occupancy status of the Mortgaged Property as represented by the Mortgagor was reasonable.

(f) Source of Loan Payments. No loan payment has been escrowed as part of the loan proceeds on behalf of the Mortgagor. No payments due and payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage or deed of trust, except for seller or builder concessions, have been paid by any person who was involved in, or benefited from, the sale or purchase of the Mortgaged Property or the origination, refinancing, sale, purchase or servicing of the Mortgage Loan other than the Mortgagor.

(g) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the tape delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser is true, correct and complete in all material respects. The information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the information provided are consistent with the contents of the Seller’s records and the Mortgage File. Any seller or builder concession has been subtracted from the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the LTV and CLTV.

(h) No Fraud. No fraud, material misrepresentation, material error, material omission or gross negligence has taken place in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan on the part of the Seller the Mortgagor, any broker or correspondent involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or any appraiser, escrow agent, closing attorney or title company involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that no material error or material omission shall be deemed to have taken place if the representation set forth in clause (i) below has not been breached.

(i) Underwriting Guidelines. Each Mortgage Loan (i) was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination without regard to any underwriter discretion or (ii) has reasonable and documented compensating factors in the Mortgage File and is indicated in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as having such factors. No Credit Score listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule was more than 120 days old at the time of the Mortgage Loan closing.

(j) LTV, PMI Policy, LPMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan is subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy.

(k) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any Applicable Law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity, fair housing and disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, any provisions relating to Prepayment Penalties, have been complied with. Each Mortgage Loan, at the time it was made and, if subsequently modified, the effective date of the modification, complied with Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws. The servicing of each Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date complied with all Applicable Law and Customary Servicing Procedures. At the time of origination, no Mortgage Loan was subject to any federal, state or local law or regulation and had characteristics which would result in a percentage listed under the Indicative Loss Severity Column; according to its criteria, Standard & Poor’s rates transactions that include the loan, as reflected in the then-current version of Standard & Poor’s Anti-Predatory Lending Law Update Table (included as Appendix E of the U.S. Residential Mortgage Input File Format, Glossary, And Appendices To The Glossary For LEVELS).

(l) Regarding the Mortgagor. Each Mortgagor is one or more natural persons and is, and was at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated, legally permitted to reside in the United States.

No Mortgagor had a prior bankruptcy in the last ten years. No Mortgagor previously owned a property in the last ten years that was the subject of a foreclosure or which title to the real property was conveyed to the originator by a deed in lieu of foreclosure during the time the Mortgagor was the owner of record.

(m) Downpayment. With respect to each Mortgage Loan whose purpose is listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as “purchase”, the Mortgagor paid at least the greater of (i) 3% and (ii) the lesser of (x) 100% minus the CLTV of such Mortgage Loan and (y) 5% of the Purchase Price with his/her own funds.

(n) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, are not assigned or pledged by the Seller and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto, and the Seller has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security interest and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans. Immediately following the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.

(o) Valid First-Lien. Except with respect to each Co-op Loan, the Mortgage is a valid, existing, perfected and enforceable first-lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the lien of the Mortgage, subject only to

(i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(ii) any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document evidencing such Mortgage Loan;

(iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy or attorney’s title opinion delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Except with respect to each Co-op Loan, any such security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first-lien and first priority security interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan on the property described therein and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

(p) Mortgage File. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents which have been delivered to the Purchaser or the Custodian or which have been submitted for recording and not yet returned. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and the other Mortgage Loan Documents hereto required to be delivered on or before the Closing Date have been delivered in compliance with the specific requirements of this Agreement.

(q) No Satisfaction. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.

(r) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

(s) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or to Seller’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by waste, water, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended. To Seller’s knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was at the time the most recent Appraised Value was obtained.

(t) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’, materialmen’s or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

(u) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. Except for Co-op Loans, the Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property. All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit). To Seller’s knowledge, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in Subsection 7.01(z) below. To Seller’s knowledge, all improvements on the Mortgaged Property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances. Neither the Seller nor the Servicing Administrator has received notice from the Mortgagor, any governmental authority, or any other person of any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license, or certificate with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

(v) Delinquency. All payments required to be made prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made. No Mortgage Loan has been thirty (30) days or more delinquent since its origination date and no Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) days or more delinquent on the Closing Date. All delinquency figures are calculated and reported using the Mortgage Bankers’ Association methodology.

(w) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and the Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(x) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor. There is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder. Any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid. The Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(y) Insurance Requirements. With respect to any insurance policy including, but not limited to, hazard, title, or mortgage insurance, covering a Mortgage Loan and/or the related Mortgaged Property, (A) neither the originator nor any prior holder has engaged in any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the originator, and (B) all provisions are being complied with and no action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any such policy, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required insurance.

(z) Title Insurance. Except with respect to each Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance, acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a Qualified Insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (o)(i) and (ii) above) the Seller and its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to ARM Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate or Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insured of such mortgagee title insurance policy. The assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any consent of or notification to the Qualified Insurer which has not been obtained or made. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy.

(aa) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property and all buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are required in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides as well as all additional requirements set forth herein, pursuant to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of Customary Servicing Procedures and providing coverage in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan, but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is, or was at origination of the Mortgage Loan, in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect, which policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and was issued by a Qualified Insurer and provides coverage in the an amount equal to not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that was available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor and may not be canceled, reduced or terminated without 30 days’ prior notice. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project.

(bb) No Default. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither the Seller nor the Servicing Administrator has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. No foreclosure action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to any Mortgaged Property.

(cc) No Defenses. No Mortgage Note or Mortgage are subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(dd) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on the Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Purchaser or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of the Seller, Purchaser or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage.

If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project is (i) acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or (ii) located in a condominium or planned unit development project which has received project approval from Xxxxxx Mae. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes.

The Seller and all other parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (and, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business”, licensing, or other requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.

Subsection 7.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicing Administrator 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 therein (or which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser in or the value of the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.

With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller 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 interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to either the Seller or the Servicing Administrator of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein, the Seller or the Servicing Administrator, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price. However, the Seller may, at its option, with the Purchaser’s prior approval, such approval not to be withheld unreasonably, and assuming that the Seller has a Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided, however, that any such substitution shall be effected within two (2) years of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the above sentence, within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in clauses (k) (“Compliance with Applicable Laws”), (pp) (“Higher Cost Products”), (qq) (“Predatory Lending Regulations”), (eee) (“Credit Reporting”), (fff) (“Arbitration”), (ggg) (“Single Premium Credit Life Insurance”), (iiii) (“TILA Qualified Mortgage”), (jjjj) (“TILA Higher Priced Qualified Mortgage”) and (kkkk) (“Ability to Repay”) of Subsection 7.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided that if the Seller, at its option, has a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with Purchaser’s prior approval, such approval not to be withheld unreasonably, rather than repurchase such affected Mortgage Loan or Loans, remove such Mortgage Loan or Loans and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loan.

If the Seller has no Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date reasonably mutually agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller and shall be accomplished by the Seller remitting by wire transfer to the Purchaser the amount of the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser’s assignment or sale of any Mortgage Loan to a third party shall not extinguish the Purchaser’s right to seek recourse pursuant to this Subsection 7.03.

At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan (or removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan), the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the assignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan (or Deleted Mortgage Loan) to the Seller or its designee and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser or any custodian relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan in the manner required by this Agreement with respect to the purchase and sale of such Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date. In the event a deficient Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the Seller shall, simultaneously with its remittance to the Purchaser of such Repurchase Price, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall simultaneously be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for each Substitute Mortgage Loan the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) and such other documents and agreements as are required by Subsection 6.03. The Seller shall remit to the Servicing Administrator for remittance to the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment due on each Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by it in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, each Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

Purchaser shall return or cause to be promptly returned to Seller all Deleted Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to all such Deleted Mortgage Loans for which the Seller substitutes a Substitute Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall, plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any P&I Advances made with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans, shall be remitted to the Servicing Administrator by the Seller for distribution by the Servicing Administrator to the Purchaser in the month of substitution.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligations, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller’s indemnification obligation under this Subsection 7.03) and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion arising from or relating to, a breach or asserted breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. In addition to the obligations set forth herein, the Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies available to it at law or equity. This indemnification provision expressly includes both third party claims and claims between the parties. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 7.03 to substitute a Mortgage Loan, cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 7.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02.

Any cause of action against the Seller or the Servicing Administrator, as applicable, relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsection 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue upon the latest to occur of (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller or the Servicing Administrator to Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller or the Servicing Administrator, as applicable, to cure such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan as specified above and/or indemnify the Purchaser, and (iii) demand upon the Seller or the Servicing Administrator, as applicable, by the Purchaser for compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Subsection 7.04 Early Payment Default.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgagor fails to make any of the first, second or third Monthly Payments due to the Purchaser after the Closing Date on or prior to the last day of the calendar month in which such Monthly Payment is due, the Seller shall, within thirty (30) days thereof, repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at the related Repurchase Price.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser’s assignment or sale of any Mortgage Loan to a third party shall not extinguish the Purchaser’s right to seek recourse pursuant to this Subsection 7.04.

Subsection 7.05 Purchase Price Protection.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is prepaid in full during the three (3) month period from and after the Closing Date, or such other period of time as set forth in the Purchase Advice, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days thereof, the amount (if any) by which the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser to the Seller exceeded 100% of the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. Upon any assignment or sale of a Mortgage Loan and/or this Agreement, the Purchaser may at its option retain its rights under this Subsection 7.05 notwithstanding such assignment or sale.

In the event that any such Mortgage Loan prepays in full during the period between the Cut-off Date and the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) consent to a readjustment of the Purchase Price, or (ii) pay the Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days thereof, the difference between the Purchase Price (as adjusted) for such Mortgage Loan and the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date.

SECTION 11. Subservicing of Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 11.01 Subservicing.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Mortgage Loans are subserviced in accordance with the PHH Reconstitution Agreement and/or the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement, by PHH and Shellpoint, respectively, the parties hereto agree that the Servicing Administrator shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions of Subsections 11.01 through 11.13, 11.15 through 11.19, 11.21, 11.22, 11.25 and 11.26, except to the extent such provisions relate to P&I Advances, Servicing Advances or Compensating Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Mortgage Loan is no longer subserviced by either the PHH Reconstitution Agreement or the Shellpoint Subservicing Agreement, the provisions of this paragraph shall no longer apply in connection with such Mortgage Loans unless otherwise agreed to by the securitization trust of the Subsequent Transaction and the Servicing Administrator. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of such Subsections, all references to the Servicing Administrator shall be deemed to be references to the Servicing Administrator or to the Servicing Administrator acting through one or more of its Subservicers, as applicable.

The Servicing Administrator, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and Customary Servicing Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicing Administrator may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicing Administrator may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicing Administrator may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of this section; provided, however, that the Servicing Administrator shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder by virtue of such delegation. The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by one or more unaffiliated Subservicers on behalf of the Servicing Administrator in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement, provided that each Subservicer is a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, that would make it unable to comply with the eligibility for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicing Administrator shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from its own funds (provided that any such expenditures that would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicing Administrator hereunder shall be reimbursable to the Servicing Administrator as Servicing Advances), and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. The Servicing Administrator shall provide prompt notice to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer of the Servicing Administrator’s engagement of any Subservicer.

(b) At the cost and expense of the Servicing Administrator, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicing Administrator, at the Servicing Administrator’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. If the Servicing Administrator’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Purchaser or its designee, the Servicing Administrator shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Servicing Administrator shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Servicing Administrator’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

(c) The Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicing Administrator by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(d) Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Servicing Administrator alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicing Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicing Administrator shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.

(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicing Administrator may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicing Administrator’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicing Administrator, reasonably foreseeable, and the Servicing Administrator has the consent of the Purchaser or its designee) the Servicing Administrator shall not enter into any payment plan or agreement to modify payments with a Mortgagor lasting more than six (6) months or permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Lifetime Rate Cap, the Initial Rate Cap, the Periodic Rate Cap or the Gross Margin, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, change the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan or subordinate the priority of the lien of the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that if the Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicing Administrator shall not permit any modification of such Mortgage Loan that would constitute a significant modification within the meaning of the REMIC provisions of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence required to be made under HAMP, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any other government program, the Servicing Administrator shall not require the consent of the Purchaser to grant such modification, but shall notify the Purchaser of such modification in writing.

(f) The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution; provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within one hundred and eighty (180) days of its submission for recordation.

(g) The Servicing Administrator shall notify the Purchaser or its designee of its intention to institute any foreclosure proceeding no less than ten (10) days prior to initiating such proceeding. Prior to accepting a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or a partial release of any of the Mortgaged Property subject to the lien of the Mortgage Property, the Servicing Administrator shall email Purchaser or its designee at an email address provided by the Purchaser and obtain the Purchaser’s or its designee’s written consent to such Servicing Administrator’s acceptance. In connection with any foreclosure sale, the Servicing Administrator shall consult with the Purchaser or its designee with regard to a bid price for the related Mortgaged Property and shall set such bid price in accordance with the Purchaser’s or its designee’s instructions. The Servicing Administrator shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby; provided that the Servicing Administrator shall obtain the prior written consent of the Purchaser or its designee prior to making any Servicing Advance of $5,000 or more. The Purchaser or its designee shall furnish to the Servicing Administrator any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicing Administrator to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, if the Servicing Administrator has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser or its designee 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 Servicing Administrator shall promptly provide the Purchaser or its designee with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the inspection, the Purchaser or its designee shall determine how the Servicing Administrator shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Subsection 11.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicing Administrator shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or more, the Servicing Administrator shall, with the consent of the Purchaser or its designee, commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures and the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. In such connection, the Servicing Administrator shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances; provided that the Servicing Administrator shall obtain the prior written consent of the Purchaser or its designee prior to making any Servicing Advance of $5,000 or more, except for any Servicing Advance for the payment of real estate property taxes or insurance payments in the normal course and in compliance with Customary Servicing Procedures. If the portion of any Liquidation Proceeds allocable as a recovery of interest on any Mortgage Loan is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan as of the date such proceeds are received, then the applicable Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be paid first and any amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

Upon final liquidation of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to Subsections 11.04 and 11.05 below, the Servicing Administrator must provide documentation to the Purchaser in the form of Exhibit 14 hereto. Any discrepancies with regards to the validity of the Advance recoveries must be resolved in good faith between the Purchaser and the Servicing Administrator within a period not to exceed 30 days from the Remittance Date following the liquidation of such Mortgage Loan. As further set forth in Subsections 11.04 and 11.05, the Servicing Administrator shall fully reimburse itself from the Custodial Account for Advances related to Liquidation Proceeds from previous Remittance Dates, on the Remittance Date after such Advances are approved by the Purchaser; provided, however, the Servicing Administrator must provide documentation in the form of Exhibit 14 hereto to the Purchaser seeking approval within ninety (90) days of final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser shall provide such approval or denial to the Servicing Administrator no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such claim and all supporting documentation.

Subsection 11.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicing Administrator will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicing Administrator shall in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, and all other charges that, as provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the extent that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Account Deposits in Custodial Account.

The Servicing Administrator 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 (collectively, the “Custodial Account”), titled “[Name of Subservicer], in trust for X.X. Xxxxxx Mortgage Acquisition Corp., as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans”. Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. The creation of the Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certificate delivered to the Purchaser by the Servicing Administrator (the “Custodial Account Certification”) in the form of Exhibit 7.

Subsection 11.07 Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by the Servicing Administrator only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse the Servicing Administrator for any Servicing Advance made by Servicing Administrator pursuant to Subsection 11.08 hereof with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by Applicable Law, (e) for application to restore or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), (h) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Applicable Law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (i) to withdraw suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (j) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (k) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicing Administrator shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicing Administrator assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments, subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Subsections 11.05(c), 11.05(d) and 11.07(b).

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicing Administrator may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser or its designee; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicing Administrator shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located by a Qualified Insurer in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicing Administrator will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (A) the minimum amount required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan if replacement-cost basis is not available) or (B) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. The Servicing Administrator shall also maintain on REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Program, flood insurance in an amount required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicing Administrator under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicing Administrator of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property other than pursuant to such Applicable Laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicing Administrator, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicing Administrator. The Servicing Administrator shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicing Administrator shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by a unit in a condominium development or planned unit development shall be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related development in a manner which is consistent with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements.

Subsection 11.11 [Reserved].

Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicing Administrator shall maintain with a Qualified Insurer, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. These policies must insure the Servicing Administrator against losses resulting from fraud, theft, errors, omissions, negligence, dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicing Administrator’s personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Servicing Administrator, and temporary contract employees or student interns. The Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicing Administrator against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicing Administrator from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ & Servicers’ Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Servicing Administrator by express waiver of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon request of the Purchaser or its designee, the Servicing Administrator shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond or a certificate evidencing the same with a statement that the Servicing Administrator shall endeavor to provide written notice to the Purchaser or its designee thirty (30) days prior to modification or any material change.

Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its nominee.

(b) The Purchaser or its designee, by giving notice to the Servicing Administrator, may elect to manage and dispose of all REO Property acquired pursuant to this Agreement by itself. If the Purchaser or its designee so elects, the Purchaser or its designee shall assume control of REO Property at the time of its acquisition and the Servicing Administrator shall forward the related Mortgage File to the Purchaser or its designee as soon as is practicable. Promptly upon assumption of control of any REO Property, the Purchaser or its designee shall reimburse any related Servicing Advances or other expenses incurred by the Servicing Administrator with respect to that REO Property.

(c) If the Purchaser or its designee has not informed the Servicing Administrator that it will manage REO Property, the provisions of this Subsection 11.13(c) shall apply. The Servicing Administrator shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the conservation of the related REO Property. The Servicing Administrator shall make distributions as required on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described above and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

(d) The Servicing Administrator 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 two (2) years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Servicing Administrator 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. Servicing Administrator shall obtain the written consent of the Purchaser or its designee prior to disposing of any REO Property. If a period longer than two (2) years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Servicing Administrator shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Servicing Administrator as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement among the Servicing Administrator and Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

(e) The Servicing Administrator shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicing Administrator, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Any disbursement in excess of $5,000 shall be made only with the written approval of the Purchaser or its designee.

Subsection 11.14 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee from interest payments actually collected on the Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Servicing Administrator to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicing Administrator shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. Prepayment Penalties shall be the property of the Purchaser and may not be retained by the Servicing Administrator as additional servicing compensation.

Subsection 11.15 Distributions.

By 12:00 p.m. on each Remittance Date, the Servicing Administrator shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Purchaser of record or its designee on the preceding Record Date (a) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account at the close of business on the related Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(b) through (i), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Servicing Administrator is obligated to advance pursuant to Subsection 11.17, plus (c) any Compensating Interest, minus (d) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received during the month of such Remittance Date, minus (e) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the related Due Date. It is understood that, by operation of Subsection 11.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to such Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) above.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser or its designee after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicing Administrator shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest published as the average rate in The Wall Street Journal, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percent (3%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicing Administrator to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicing Administrator of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicing Administrator.

Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Purchaser.

On or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month, Seller shall forward to the Purchaser and/or any of its designees in electronic form, the reports set forth on Exhibits 13, 14 and 15 (including, without limitation, any such other information as may be reasonably required to be delivered due to revisions in applicable rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, guidance from the American Securitization Forum) with respect to the preceding Due Period and calendar month.

In addition, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Servicing Administrator will furnish a report to each Person that was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year. Such report shall state the aggregate of amounts distributed to the Purchaser for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Servicing Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Servicing Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code.

The Servicing Administrator shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority, the Mortgagor or to the Purchaser or its designee pursuant to any Applicable Law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicing Administrator shall provide the Purchaser or its designee with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare federal income tax returns as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Subsection 11.17 Advances by the Servicing Administrator.

On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicing Administrator shall either (a) deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date (each such advance, a “P&I Advance”), (b) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Subsection 11.17, used by the Servicing Administrator in discharge of any such P&I Advance or (c) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (a) or (b) aggregating the total amount of advances to be made. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicing Administrator by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicing Administrator’s obligation to make P&I Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all other payments or recoveries (including proceeds under any title, hazard or other insurance policy, or condemnation awards and REO Disposition Proceeds) with respect to a Mortgage Loan or until there has been a determination that such P&I Advance would be nonrecoverable. The determination by the Servicing Administrator that a P&I Advance, if made, would be nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicing Administrator, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, which details the reasons for such determination including all supporting information for such determination, which may include an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property; and provided however, that if the Purchaser or its designee does not agree with such nonrecoverable determination, the Servicing Administrator shall continue to advance such P&I Advances until Purchaser otherwise agrees.

Subsection 11.18 Assumption Agreements.

The Servicing Administrator will use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided that, subject to the Purchaser’s or its designee’s prior approval, the Servicing Administrator shall permit such assumption if so required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicing Administrator will, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, the Servicing Administrator will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. In connection with any such assumption, the outstanding principal amount, the Monthly Payment, the Mortgage Interest Rate, the Lifetime Rate Cap, the Gross Margin, the Initial Rate Cap or the Periodic Rate Cap of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or decreased. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.18, the Servicing Administrator with the prior consent of the issuer of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.

Subsection 11.19 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicing Administrator of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicing Administrator will obtain the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the Purchaser or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to deliver to the Servicing Administrator the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Servicing Administrator that such a payment in full has been received or that a notification has been received that such a payment in full shall be made. Such Mortgage Note shall be held by the Servicing Administrator, in trust, for the purpose of canceling such Mortgage Note and delivering the canceled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in a timely manner as and to the extent provided under any applicable federal or state law.

In the event the Servicing Administrator grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Servicing Administrator otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicing Administrator shall remit to the Purchaser or its designee the Scheduled Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall insure the Servicing Administrator against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Subsection 11.20

Servicing Administrator Shall Provide Access and Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicing Administrator shall provide, and shall cause any Subservicer or subcontractor to provide, to the Purchaser or its designee, or Purchaser’s auditors (internal and external), any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or its affiliates, accountants, attorneys, agents, or designees the right to examine and audit, which audits may include technical, financial or operational audits, at the Purchaser’s expense, upon no less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior notice to the Servicing Administrator, during normal business hours, the Servicing Administrator and any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information, including facilities (and any back-up facilities and disaster recovery sites), computer systems and procedures, of the Servicing Administrator, or held by another for the Servicing Administrator or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicing Administrator of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Servicing Administrator. Further, Purchaser’s auditors (internal and/or external) or any third-party oversight group or the vendor management group that is part of Purchaser’s parent company or other Purchaser designees may conduct on-site security reviews, vulnerability testing and disaster recovery testing on Servicing Administrator’s systems containing non-public personal information solely on the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties and otherwise audit Servicing Administrator’s operations for compliance with JPMorgan’s Information Security Policies at the cost of the Purchaser and upon no less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior notice; provided however, this provision shall only apply while Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties are owned by the Initial Purchaser or an affiliate thereof. Servicing Administrator shall cooperate with such audits and provide assistance as reasonably requested. If any party conducting such a review discovers a material breach or a remediation issue, the Servicing Administrator shall promptly correct such identified material breach or resolve any issues to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction.

In addition, the Servicing Administrator shall furnish, and shall cause any Subservicer to furnish, upon request by the Purchaser or its designee, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable and appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement and applicable regulations. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions the Purchaser or its designee may require. The Servicing Administrator agrees, and shall cause any Subservicer to agree, to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser or its designee from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicing Administrator will establish and maintain or cause each of its Subservicers to establish and maintain a system of: (i) records of operational information relating to the collection of Mortgage Loans, the payment of Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, the conduct of default management services and the administration, servicing, repair, maintenance, rental, sale, or other disposition of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property and REO Property and (ii) books and accounts, which shall be maintained in accordance with customary business practices, of financial information relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and the REO Properties.

Subsection 11.21 Inspections.

The Servicing Administrator shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed commercially reasonably necessary by the Servicing Administrator to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than seventy-five (75) days delinquent, the Servicing Administrator shall promptly inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicing Administrator shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

Subsection 11.22 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

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

(a) the Servicing Administrator shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(b) the Servicing Administrator shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(d) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicing Administrator shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

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

Subsection 11.23 Appointment of Master Servicer.

The Purchaser shall have the right, at any time, to appoint a master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) in its sole discretion. Servicing Administrator hereby agrees to remit to, take direction from, and cooperate with, the Master Servicer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall notify Servicing Administrator of any appointment of a Master Servicer.

Subsection 11.24 [Reserved].

Subsection 11.25 Credit Reporting.

The Servicing Administrator shall cause to be fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its Mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis. The Servicing Administrator shall order Credit Scores quarterly and shall provide such Credit Scores to the Purchaser or its designee on a quarterly basis. Such credit scores shall be included in the monthly report provided to the Purchaser or its designee delivered in the month such Credit Score is ordered.

Subsection 11.26 Deregistration of MERS Designated Mortgage Loans.

The Servicing Administrator hereby agrees that it shall remove or cause the removal of all Mortgage Loans that are MERS Designated Mortgage Loans from registration on the MERS System in accordance with the rules and regulations of MERS within 90 days after a request therefor from the Purchaser. Upon such deregistration, the Servicing Administrator shall deliver to the Custodian an Assignment of Mortgage in form and substance acceptable to the Custodian for recording in blank and, upon the reasonable request of the Custodian, such further instruments as are necessary or proper to effect such removal from registration.

SECTION 12. The Servicing Administrator.

Subsection 12.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) The Servicing Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Master Servicer and any successor servicer and their respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees (including, without limitation, legal fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller’s indemnification obligation under this Subsection 12.01) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any such persons may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicing Administrator to service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise comply with its obligations and covenants under this Agreement.

(b) The Servicing Administrator shall promptly notify the Purchaser and the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, and the Servicing Administrator shall assume (with the written consent of the Purchaser or the Master Servicer) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees. If the Servicing Administrator has assumed the defense of the Purchaser, the Servicing Administrator shall provide the Purchaser or the Master Servicer with a written report of all expenses and advances incurred by the Servicing Administrator pursuant to this Subsection 12.01 and the Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim in any way relates to the failure of the Servicing Administrator to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise materially comply with its obligations and covenants under this Agreement.

Subsection 12.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicing Administrator.

The Servicing Administrator will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicing Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicing Administrator shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Servicing Administrator (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Servicing Administrator 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.

Subsection 12.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicing Administrator and Others.

The duties and obligations of the Servicing Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Servicing Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Servicing Administrator. Neither the Servicing Administrator nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicing Administrator shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures and otherwise in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicing Administrator against any liability resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty made herein, or from any liability specifically imposed on the Servicing Administrator herein; and, provided further, that this provision shall not protect the Servicing Administrator against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. The Servicing Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicing Administrator may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Subsection 12.01, the Servicing Administrator shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to the Servicing Administrator’s duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Subsection 12.04 Acquisition and Resignation.

With respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, neither the Seller nor the Servicing Administrator shall assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicing Administrator or the Seller, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or upon the determination that the Servicing Administrator’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Applicable Law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicing Administrator. Any such determination permitting the unilateral resignation of the Servicing Administrator shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation or assignment shall become effective until a successor has assumed the Servicing Administrator’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Subsection 14.02.

SECTION 13. Default.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser or its designee, by notice in writing to the Seller or the Servicing Administrator, may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser or its designee may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, commence termination of all the rights and obligations of the Servicing Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Upon receipt by the Servicing Administrator of such written notice from the Purchaser or its designee stating that they intend to terminate the Servicing Administrator as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicing Administrator under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Subsection 14.02. Upon written request from the Purchaser or its designee, the Servicing Administrator shall cause the preparation, execution and delivery to a successor any and all documents and other instruments, cause to be placed in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, cause the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the successor at the Servicing Administrator’s sole expense.

Upon any 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

SECTION 14. Termination.

Subsection 14.01 Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicing Administrator, as servicer, shall terminate upon (a) the distribution to the Purchaser or its designee of the final payment or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or advances of the same by the Servicing Administrator) or (b) the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder.

The Purchaser or its designee may terminate, at its sole option, any rights the Servicing Administrator may have hereunder, without cause by providing sixty (60) days’ notice to the Servicing Administrator and the payment to the Servicing Administrator of the Termination Without Cause Fee and all amounts due to the Servicing Administrator and remaining unpaid as of the effective date of termination, including, but not limited to, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicing Administrator by registered mail as provided in Section 15 with an email copy to the Servicing Administrator. Upon receipt by the Servicing Administrator of such written notice from the Purchaser or its designee stating that they intend to terminate the Servicing Administrator pursuant to this paragraph and the receipt by the Servicing Administrator of the Termination Without Cause Fee, all authority and power of the Servicing Administrator under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Subsection 14.02.

Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, in the event that (i) a Mortgage Loan becomes delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more (a “Delinquent Mortgage Loan”) or (ii) a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Property, the Purchaser may at its election terminate this Agreement with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property without payment of a termination fee therefor upon 15 days’ written notice to the Servicing Administrator.

Upon written request from the Purchaser or its designee, the Servicing Administrator shall cause the preparation, execution and delivery to a successor any and all documents and other instruments, cause to place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, cause the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the successor at the Servicing Administrator’s sole expense, unless such request is in connection with a termination of the Servicing Administrator without cause as described in the second preceding paragraph, in which case such expense shall be borne by the Purchaser. The Servicing Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser or its designee and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicing Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, causing the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicing Administrator to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any of the Seller’s or the Servicing Administrator’s obligations regarding servicing transfer, repurchase, indemnification or otherwise, all of which shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

Subsection 14.02 Successors to the Servicing Administrator.

(a) With respect to the Mortgage Loans:

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser or the Master Servicing Administrator may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicing Administrator’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections, the Servicing Administrator shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicing Administrator pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Subsection and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser or the Master Servicer under Subsection 7.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicing Administrator, or the termination of this Agreement.

(II) Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicing Administrator, the Purchaser and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicing Administrator, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicing Administrator or this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser or the Master Servicer may have against the Servicing Administrator arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

(III) The Servicing Administrator shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicing Administrator shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicing Administrator. The successor servicer shall not be responsible for any costs associated with the transfer by the Servicing Administrator of the Mortgage Files or related documents or statements to such successor.

(IV) Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicing Administrator shall notify by mail the Purchaser and the Master Servicing Administrator of such appointment.

(V) Notwithstanding the resignation or the removal of the Servicing Administrator pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01, the Servicing Administrator shall be entitled to all amounts rightfully owing to the Servicing Administrator and remaining unpaid as of the effective date of termination, including, but not limited to, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees.

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that on the Reconstitution Date the Purchaser shall effect the Subsequent Transaction.

With respect to such Subsequent Transaction, the Seller agrees to deliver to the related Master Servicer or trustee on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Reconstitution Date, a Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Seller agrees to execute (i) in connection with such Subsequent Transaction an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9A with any additional changes reasonably requested by all necessary parties (the “Reconstitution Agreement”).

In connection with the Subsequent Transaction, the Seller agrees to (1) enter into and deliver certain additional documents, instruments or agreements, including, but not limited to, an enforceability opinion (in a form consistent with industry standards), as may be necessary to effect the Subsequent Transaction, (2) cooperate with parties to the Subsequent Transaction to provide information, certifications or other related documents in order to facilitate the preparation of the related offering document and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (3) the appointment of an “independent reviewer” that will have access to the Mortgage Files to determine if a breach of a representation or warranty of a Mortgage Loan exists and submit to arbitration (which arbitration shall be conducted in substantial compliance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit 9A) to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Seller’s failure to repurchase a Mortgage Loan following either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser or the issuing entity of the Subsequent Transaction.

In the case of mandatory arbitration described in part (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph, if it is determined that the Seller has an obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loan subject to the arbitration, the Seller shall pay the reasonable legal fees incurred by X.X. Xxxxxx Mortgage Trust 2014-OAK4 in such arbitration, and if it is determined that the Seller has no obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loan subject to the arbitration, X.X. Xxxxxx Mortgage Trust 2014-OAK4 shall pay the reasonable legal fees incurred by the Seller in such arbitration.

With respect to the Subsequent Transaction, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate with the Purchaser and the Master Servicer and any prospective purchaser and any Rating Agency with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures, which may include any required originator review and/or servicer review by a Rating Agency (which may involve an on-site visit by a Rating Agency or its designee and/or furnishing written responses and requested information to a Rating Agency questionnaire) and diligence on the related Mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans being transferred, including, but not limited to, third-party fraud review, phone verification of employment through employer; (2) restate and make the representation and warranties as set forth in the related Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9A; and (3) to deliver to Purchaser and any Rating Agency within seven (7) Business Days after request therefor, information, in form and substance satisfactory to the entity making such request, about the Mortgage Loans, the Underwriting Guidelines and servicing procedures, about each originator and servicer, respectively, of the Mortgage Loans or any other information reasonably requested by the entity making such request. The Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to provide to such Master Servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such Subsequent Transaction: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any such other participant shall request; (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller and/or the Servicing Administrator as are reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any such other participant; and (iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any such participant. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or the Master Servicer to effect such Reconstitution Agreement.

The Seller and Servicing Administrator shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Purchaser, each affiliate of the Purchaser and each underwriter as placement agent participating in the Subsequent Transaction and each Person who controls the Purchaser or such affiliate and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the information provided by the Seller or the Servicing Administrator (or on behalf of the Seller or Servicing Administrator as directed by the Seller or Servicing Administrator, as applicable) regarding the Seller, the Servicing Administrator, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Administrator’s servicing practices or the performance of the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with the Subsequent Transaction. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as a Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

SECTION 17. Severability Clause.

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

SECTION 18. No Partnership.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto and the services of the Servicing Administrator shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent for the Purchaser or the Master Servicer.

SECTION 19. Counterparts.

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

SECTION 20. Governing Law.

Except to the extent preempted by Federal Law, the agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of New York or any other jurisdiction. In the event of a dispute or litigation under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive all expenses incurred therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

SECTION 21. Intention of the Parties.

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

It is not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Seller or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (b) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

SECTION 22. Waivers.

No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 33 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act).

In connection with the Subsequent Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

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

(b) It shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Seller shall promptly upon request provide to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as an administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and such Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Seller or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Seller shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Seller (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Subsection 33.07 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Seller.

Subsection 33.07 Indemnification; Remedies.

(a) The Servicing Administrator shall indemnify the Purchaser, the Master Servicer, each affiliate of the Purchaser, and each of the following parties participating in the Subsequent Transaction: the Depositor, each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person (including but not limited to any Master Servicer, if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Subsequent Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material provided under Section 33 by or on behalf of the Servicing Administrator, or provided under Section 33 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Servicing Administrator Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicing Administrator Information a material fact required to be stated in the Servicing Administrator Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Servicing Administrator Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicing Administrator Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information; or

(ii) [reserved];

(iii) any breach by the Servicing Administrator of a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 33.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 33.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the Subsequent Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Servicing Administrator of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 33.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or

(iv) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicing Administrator in connection with its performance under Section 33.

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

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

(b) (i) Any failure by the Servicing Administrator, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Section 33, or any breach by the Servicing Administrator of a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 33.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 33.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the Subsequent Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 33.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicing Administrator under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion, to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicing Administrator as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicing Administrator (and if the Servicing Administrator is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in the Subsequent Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Subsequent Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicing Administrator as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(ii) Any failure by the Servicing Administrator, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Subsections 33.04 and 33.05, including any failure by the Servicing Administrator to identify pursuant to Subsection 33.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default (notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) with respect to the Servicing Administrator under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller (and if the Servicing Administrator is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in the Subsequent Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Subsequent Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicing Administrator as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(iii) The Servicing Administrator shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicing Administrator as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
