Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or after the related Closing Date. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loan Package without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s (or any of its successors’) rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 6. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Subsection 6.01 Possession of Mortgage Files.

Originals or copies of all documents, including but not limited to the documents listed on Exhibit 2 and comprising the Mortgage File, other than the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee on or prior to the related Closing Date. During the Interim Servicing Period, originals of the contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or the custodian appointed by the Purchaser are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof and shall be available for review by the Purchaser upon request. The Seller’s possession of any portion of each such Mortgage File is at the will of the Purchaser, and such retention and possession by the Seller shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the contents of each Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Seller at the will of the Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The copies of the Mortgage File retained by the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to reflect clearly the ownership of such related Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Mortgage File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing Transfer Instructions, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 of this Agreement or if required under applicable law or court order.

The Seller shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or the custodian appointed by the Purchaser the Mortgage Loan Documents no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date or, upon the request of the Purchaser, earlier, if necessary or desirable to facilitate a review. If the Seller cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 120 days from the Closing Date, deliver such original recorded Mortgage Loan

Documents to the Purchaser or the appointed custodian (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed within 120 days of the related Closing Date solely because such Mortgage Loan Documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver such Mortgage Loan Documents to Purchaser, or the appointed custodian, within such time period as specified in a Seller’s Officer’s Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent Seller’s Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The Seller shall include with each Seller’s Officer’s Certificate a listing of all delayed recorded documents. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. The Seller shall use its best efforts to effect delivery of all delayed recorded documents within 180 days of the related Closing Date. If delivery of all Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to any Mortgage Loan is not completed within 360 days of the related Closing Date then, at Purchaser’s option, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan in such manner set forth in Section 7.03.

Any review by the Purchaser or its designee of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to any document constituting part of a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Seller and the Seller shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 7.03.

Within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date in respect of a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall notify MERS of the transfer of ownership of such MERS Mortgage Loan.

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

Subsection 7.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date or such other date specified herein:

(a) Property Valuation: Each Mortgage File contains a written appraisal prepared by an appraiser licensed or certified by the applicable governmental body in which the mortgaged property is located and in accordance with the requirements of Title XI of FIRREA. The appraisal was written, in form and substance, to (i) customary Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac standards for mortgage loans of the same type as such Mortgage Loans and (ii) USPAP standards, and satisfies applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The appraisal was made and signed prior to the final approval of the Mortgage Loan application. The person performing any property valuation (including an appraiser) received no benefit from, and such person's compensation or flow of business from the originator was not affected by, the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The selection of the person performing the property valuation was made independently of the broker (where applicable) and the originator's loan sales and loan production personnel. The selection of the appraiser met the criteria of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac for selecting an independent appraiser.

(b) Income/Employment/Assets: With respect to each Mortgage Loan the originator verified the borrower's income, employment, and assets in accordance with its written Underwriting Guidelines and employed procedures designed to authenticate the documentation supporting such income, employment, and assets. Such verification includes the transcripts received from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to a filing of IRS Form 4506-T. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in order to test the reasonableness of the income, the originator used (i) transcripts received from the IRS pursuant to a filing of IRS Form 4506-T (to the extent specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (ii) public and/or commercially available information acceptable to the Purchaser.

(c) Occupancy: The originator has given due consideration to factors, including but not limited to, other real estate owned by the borrower, commuting distance to work, appraiser comments and notes, the location of the property and any difference between the mailing address active in the servicing system and the subject property address to evaluate whether the occupancy status of the property as represented by the borrower is reasonable. All owner occupied properties are occupied by the owner at the time of purchase of the mortgage.

(d) Data: The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette or other related data tapes sent to the Purchaser, is complete, true and correct in all material respects. The information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the information provided are consistent with the contents of the originator's records and the Mortgage File. The Mortgage Loan Schedule contains all of the required fields. Any seller or builder concession has been subtracted from the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the LTV and CLTV. Except for information specified to be as of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Schedule contains the most current information possessed

by the originator. No appraisal or other property valuation referred to or used to determine any data listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule was more than 3 months old at the time of the Mortgage Loan closing.

(e) Fraud: No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to the Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor, the Seller or any other Person, including, without limitation, any appraiser, title company, closing or settlement agent, realtor, builder or developer or any other party involved in the origination or sale of the Mortgage Loan or the sale of the Mortgaged Property, that would impair in any way the rights of the Purchaser in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or that violated applicable law.

(f) Underwriting; Collection Practices; Escrow Payments: Each Mortgage Loan either (i) was underwritten in conformance with the originator's Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination without regard to any underwriter discretion or (ii) if not underwritten in conformance with the originator's guidelines, has reasonable and documented compensating factors. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for the Mortgage Loan includes objective mathematical principles that relate to the relationship between the borrower's income, assets and liabilities and the proposed payment. With respect to escrow deposits and mortgage escrow accounts, all such payments are in the possession of Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item subject to an escrow requirement which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Except in connection with a modification disclosed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and contained in the Servicing File, no escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, all mortgage interest rate adjustments and monthly payment adjustments have been made in strict compliance with Customary Servicing Procedures, and, as of the applicable Transfer Date, Seller’s servicing system has been updated to reflect any such adjustments. The Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the monthly payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid to the Mortgagor pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

(g) Mortgage Insurance: Except as indicated for pledged asset loans, if a Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%, the Mortgage Loan has mortgage insurance in accordance with the terms of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide or the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide and is insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. To the extent a Mortgage Loan is insured

under an LPMI policy, the Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such premium.

(h) Regulatory Compliance: Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects. No Mortgage Loan is a “high cost” or “covered” loan, as defined by any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law, and no Mortgage Loan has a percentage listed under the Indicative Loss Severity Column (the column that appears in the Standard & Poor's Anti-Predatory Lending Law Update Table, included in the then-current Standard & Poor's LEVELS® Glossary of Terms on Appendix E). Any breach of this representation shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan and shall require a repurchase of the affected Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan secured by property located in the State of Georgia was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and prior to March 7, 2003. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after March 7, 2003 is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act. No borrower was encouraged or required to select a loan product offered by an originator that was a higher cost product designed for less-creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such borrower did not qualify, taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios, for a lower cost credit product then offered by such originator or any affiliate of such originator. There does not exist on the related Mortgaged Property any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation including, without limitation, asbestos. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of such Mortgaged Property. The Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Seller has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The servicing of each Mortgage Loan prior to the related Closing Date complied in all material respects with the Customary Servicing Procedures and all then-applicable federal, state and local laws. Any breach of any representations made in this clause (h) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan and shall require a repurchase of the affected Mortgage Loan.

(i) Borrower: As of the related Closing Date, the Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and is not insolvent and the Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable

investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. Either the Mortgagor is a natural person who is legally permitted to reside in the United States or the Mortgagor is an inter-vivos trust acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx. No borrower had a prior bankruptcy in the last ten years. No borrower previously owned a property in the last ten years that was the subject of a foreclosure during the time the borrower was the owner of record.

(j) Source of Loan Payments: No loan payment has been escrowed as part of the loan proceeds on behalf of the borrower. 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 borrower.

(k) Down Payment: The Mortgagor has contributed at least 5% of the purchase price for the Mortgaged Property with his/her own funds.

(l) No Prior Liens: The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon recordation the Purchaser or its designee will be the owner of record of the Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain any Mortgage File documents during the Interim Servicing Period in its possession in trust for the Purchaser. Each sale of the Mortgage Loan from any prior owner or the Seller was in exchange for fair equivalent value, and the prior owner or the Seller, as applicable, was solvent both prior to and after the transfer and had sufficient capital to pay and was able to pay its debts as they would generally mature. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser on the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, was not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan.

(m) Enforceability and Priority of Lien: The related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property (subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy and other creditors rights laws), including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property, and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and

restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not 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. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein (subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy and other creditors rights laws), and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser; There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage. The related original Mortgage has been recorded or is in the process of being recorded.

(n) Complete Mortgage Files: The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and the other Mortgage Loan Documents set forth in Exhibits 1 and 2 and required to be delivered on the related Closing Date have been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee in compliance with the specific requirements of this Agreement and the PPTL for the related Mortgage Loan Package. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File including all documents used in the qualification of the borrower except for such documents as have been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee. In the event the Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated, is named in the Mortgage and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the borrower.

(o) No Modifications: The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any material respect, except by a written instrument that, if required by applicable law, has been recorded or is in the process of being recorded. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by such policies, the terms of such waiver, alteration or modification have been reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the written instrument reflecting such terms has been included in the Mortgage File. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, except in connection with an assumption agreement which is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage and Mortgage Note have not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, 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 effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(p) Taxes Paid: All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid by the borrower, or escrow funds from the borrower 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.

(q) No Damage/Condemnation: Each Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, vandalism, fire, hurricane, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty adversely affecting the value of a Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended, and each Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was at the time the most recent Appraised Value was obtained. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property.

(r) Fee Simple Estate / No Encroachments / Compliance with Zoning: The Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. 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), no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (v) below and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable building, zoning and subdivision laws, regulations and ordinances.

(s) Legally Occupied: As of the related Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law, and 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.

(t) Mortgage Loan Legal and Binding: The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and other agreements executed in connection therewith 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 subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles. The Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and other agreements executed in connection therewith, had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(u) Proceeds Fully Disbursed / Recording Fees Paid: The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements 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

were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(v) Existence of Title Insurance: Each Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction as to which an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead received)is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other form of policy or insurance generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title 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) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Additionally, such policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property. Where required by applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy; such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer; and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the related PPTL. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy. No originator, seller, prior owner of the Mortgage Loan or other Person has provided or received any unlawful fee, commission, kickback, or other compensation or value of any kind in connection with the title insurance policy.

(w) Hazard Insurance: All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loans and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If required by the FDPA, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and conforming to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, in an amount not less than the amount required by the FDPA. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon 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. All such standard hazard and flood policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee; such clause is still in effect and all premiums due on any such policies have been paid in full. No originator, seller, prior owner of the Mortgage Loan, borrower or any other Person, has engaged

in any act or omission that would impair the coverage of any such insurance policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including, without limitation, the provision or receipt of any unlawful fee, commission, kickback, or other compensation or value of any kind. 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 insurance policies, regardless of the cause of such failure of coverage.

(x) No Default: There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related 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 any prior mortgagee 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.

(y) No Rescission: The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not 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 or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. The Mortgagor was not a debtor at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan and is not currently a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(z) Enforceable Right of Foreclosure: The Mortgage relating to a Mortgaged Property contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against such Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose on the Mortgage.

Subsection 7.03 Repurchase; Substitution.

(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage File to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage Loan Document. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in the Mortgage Loans (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a particular Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser in a particular Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to such particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. A breach of representations and warranties in Sections 7.01(e) through (p), (r), (t), (v), (w), (x), (y), (z), (aa), (bb), (cc), (ee), (gg), (hh), (jj), (ll), (mm), (nn), (qq), (ss), (uu), (vv), (ww), (xx), (yy), (zz), (aaa), and (bbb) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan. With respect to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 that are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, if it is discovered by either 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 in the related Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all the remedies to which it would be entitled for a breach of representation or warranty, including, without limitation, the repurchase requirements contained herein, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation or warranty was made. The Seller shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach; provided, however, that if a Mortgage Loan has been transferred to a REMIC and the breach is with respect to the representation and warranty in Section 7.01(bb), the Seller shall have a period of sixty (60) days from its discovery of such breach within which to cure such breach. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty (60) day period, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, (i) repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, (ii) substitute a mortgage loan for the defective Mortgage Loan as provided below or (iii) except for a breach of the representation and warranty in Section 7.01(bb), make an indemnification payment in an amount equal to the reduction in value of such Mortgage Loan as a result of such breach, such payment to be made in the manner set forth above in respect of the Purchase Price of a repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 7.02, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of the amount of the Repurchase Price to an account designated by the Purchaser. If the breach of representation and warranty that gave rise to the obligation to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this

Section 7.03(a) was the representation and warranty set forth in clause (e) or (h) of Section 7.01, then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in this Section 7.03(a), an amount equal to any liability, penalty or expense that was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Purchaser, and that directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Purchaser thereafter, concurrently with such payment.

(b) If the Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Subsection 7.03 as a result of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Subsection 7.01, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s prior consent, within two (2) years from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any Substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a principal balance at the time of substitution not in excess of the principal balance of the Deleted Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate borne by the Deleted Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to an account designated by the Purchaser), (b) have a Mortgage Interest Rate not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the Deleted Mortgage Loan or in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, have the same index, a margin that is not less than the margin of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and Adjustment Dates that are the same frequency as that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, of the same type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property) as the Deleted Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (f) have the same lien priority as that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (g) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, in material compliance with the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and described in Subsection 7.01 as of the date of substitution.

(c) The Seller shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. The Monthly Payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Monthly Payment on the Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.

(d) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Subsection 12.01, constitutes the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Seller fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Subsection 7.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Subsection 7.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Subsection 12.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all available remedies.

No provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Subsections 13.01 and 14.01.

(e) Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

(f) In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection with any repurchase or substitution of a defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Subsection 7.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

(g) With respect to any Mortgage Loan listed as having mortgage insurance on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, regardless of whether the insurance is borrower paid or lender paid, if the mortgage insurer rejects, denies, or rescinds a claim on the basis of any defect in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or the servicing of the Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date (a “mortgage insurer rejection”), other than as a result of the mortgage insurer’s breach of its obligations or as a result of the mortgage insurer's insolvency, the Seller shall either repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or pay the Purchaser the amount of such claim within thirty (30) days from the date of such mortgage insurer rejection.

(h) The parties agree that the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to an obligation or alleged obligation of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan due to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 7.01 hereof shall be by Arbitration.

If any allegation of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 7.01 has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both the Purchaser and the Seller, either party may commence Arbitration to resolve the dispute; provided that a party may commence Arbitration with respect to one or more unresolved allegations only during the months of January, April, July and October, and all matters with respect to which Arbitration has been commenced in any such month shall be heard in a single Arbitration in the immediately following month or as soon as practicable thereafter. To commence Arbitration, the moving party shall deliver written notice to the other party that it has elected to pursue Arbitration in accordance with this Section 7.03(h), provided that if the Seller has not responded to the Purchaser's notification of a breach of a representation and warranty, the Purchaser shall not commence Arbitration with respect to that breach before 60 days following such notification in order to provide the Seller with an opportunity to respond to such notification. Within 10 Business Days after a party has provided notice that it has elected to pursue Arbitration, each party may submit the names of one or more proposed Arbitrators to the other party in writing. If the parties have not agreed on the selection of an Arbitrator within five Business Days after the first such submission, then the party commencing Arbitration shall, within the next 5 business days, notify the American Arbitration

Association in New York, NY and request that it appoint a single Arbitrator with experience in arbitrating disputes arising in the financial services industry.

It is the intention of the parties that Arbitration shall be conducted in as efficient and cost-effective a manner as is reasonably practicable, without the burden of discovery. Accordingly, the Arbitrator will resolve the dispute on the basis of a review of the written correspondence between the parties (including any supporting materials attached to such correspondence) conveyed by the parties to each other in connection with the dispute prior to the delivery of notice to commence Arbitration; however, upon a showing of good cause, a party may request the Arbitrator to direct the production of such additional information, evidence and/or documentation from the parties that the Arbitrator deems appropriate. If requested by the Arbitrator or any party, any hearing with respect to an Arbitration shall be conducted by video conference or teleconference except upon the agreement of both parties or the request of the Arbitrator.

The finding of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment upon any arbitration award rendered may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally between both parties. Each party, however, shall bear its own attorneys fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration.

Subsection 7.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With Early Payment Default.

If a Monthly Payment becomes one (1) or more scheduled Monthly Payments delinquent at any time on or prior to the first day of the third calendar month following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan (or such other earlier date set forth in the related PPTL), then the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall (a) promptly repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser in accordance with the procedures set forth in Subsection 7.03 hereof, however, any such repurchase shall be made at the Purchase Price, or (b) substitute a mortgage loan acceptable to the Purchaser in accordance with Subsection 7.03 hereof.

Such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such payoff.

The Seller shall pay the cost of delivering the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser or its designee for each related Closing Date.

SECTION 11. Interim Servicing; Servicing Transfer.

Subsection 11.01 Temporary Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

This Section 11 shall apply during the Interim Servicing Period, but only to the extent that funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan during the Interim Servicing Period are payable to the Purchaser. All funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan during the Interim Servicing Period that are payable to the Purchaser shall be applied in accordance with this Section 11 and the Servicing Transfer Instructions. All payments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans after the Servicing Transfer Date shall be applied in accordance with the Servicing Transfer Instructions. The Seller agrees to comply with the Customary Servicing Procedures during the Interim Servicing Period.

(a) The Seller, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Purchaser from and after the Closing Date through the Servicing Transfer Date in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicing Transfer Instructions, 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 Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of this section; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder by virtue of such delegation. The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by one or more unaffiliated subservicers on behalf of the Seller provided 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 Seller 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 Seller hereunder shall be reimbursable to the Seller as Servicing Advances), and the subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

(b) It is further understood and agreed that the interim servicing obligations of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to such servicing and collection activities as are necessary for preserving the Purchaser’s interest in the Mortgage Loans on a temporary basis, and that the servicing of the Mortgage Loans is intended by Seller and Purchaser to be transferred to the Purchaser or its designee on or before the Servicing Transfer Date. In no event shall the Seller service, or bear any obligation for the servicing of, any Mortgage Loan into any Securitization Transaction, Whole Loan Transfer, or in connection with the reconstitution of any Mortgage Loan.

(c) At the cost and expense of the Seller, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Seller 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 Seller, at the Seller’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. If the Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Seller shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Seller shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer from the Seller’s own funds without reimbursement from the Purchaser.

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

(e) 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 Seller alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Purchaser to pay the subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the subservicer has received such payment. The Seller shall not make any amendment to any agreement with a subservicer if such amendment is not consistent with or violates the provisions of this Agreement, or if such amendment could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Purchaser.

(f) The Seller shall not 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 without the prior written approval of the Purchaser.

(g) Whether in connection with the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan approved by the Purchaser or otherwise, the Seller shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances; provided, however, that the Seller is not required to make a Servicing Advance unless the Seller determines in the exercise of its good faith judgment that such Servicing Advance would ultimately be recoverable from REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds of the related Mortgaged Property (with respect to each of which the Seller shall have the priority described in Subsection 11.05 for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account). Any Servicing Advance that would cause the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances for a particular Mortgage Loan to exceed $500 shall be made only after notification of the Purchaser.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Seller shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. In the event (i) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (ii) the Purchaser directs the Seller to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient fully to reimburse the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Seller not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05 hereof. Servicing Advances for which the Seller has not been reimbursed as of the Servicing Transfer Date shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Servicing Transfer Instructions.

Subsection 11.02 Directions by Purchaser During Interim Servicing Period.

During the Interim Servicing Period, in the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Seller shall so notify the Purchaser and shall take such action as it is directed by the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the date on which principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full and (ii) the Servicing Transfer Date, the Seller 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 Seller will 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 end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Mortgage Loan payments received by the Seller will be deposited within one Business Day of receipt into a clearing account that is an Eligible Account. The Mortgage Loan payments may be commingled with payments of other mortgagors and investors for up to two Business Days prior to the Seller depositing the Mortgage Loan payments in the Custodial Account. Such clearing account shall not be used for operational or corporate purposes of the Seller.

Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Account; Deposits in Custodial Account.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts (collectively, the “Custodial Account”), titled “Fremont Bank, in trust for Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository affiliate of the Seller) which meets the guidelines set forth by the FHFA, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial accounts. The Custodial Account shall initially be established and maintained at Fremont Bank, or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Purchaser’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Seller.

The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date):

(a) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(d) all proceeds received by the Seller under any title insurance policy, hazard insurance policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or other insurance policy other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(e) all awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or eminent domain affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures;

(f) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.15 and 11.19;

(g) any amount required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Subsection 11.13;

(h) all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 7.03;

(i) with respect to each Full Prepayment and each Partial Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds) equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided, however, that the Seller’s aggregate obligations under this paragraph for any month shall be limited to the total amount of Servicing Fees actually received with respect to the Mortgage Loans by the Seller during such month; and

(j) amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with the deductible clause of any hazard insurance policy.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other ancillary fees need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account.

The funds in the Custodial Account shall remain uninvested.

Subsection 11.05 Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Seller shall, from time to time during the Interim Servicing Period, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Subsection 11.15;

(b) [reserved];

(c) to reimburse itself for any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Seller from the related Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser unless the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03, or the Seller is required to pay the Prepayment Interest Shortfall pursuant to Subsection 11.15, in which case the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser

of the related Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(d) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable (as certified by the Seller to the Purchaser in an Officer’s Certificate) by the Seller pursuant to subclause (c) above, provided that the Mortgage Loan for which such advances were made is not required to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03;

(e) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Subsection 12.01;

(f) [reserved];

(g) to pay to itself any interest earned or any investment earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account, net of any losses on such investments;

(h) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Custodial Account; and

(i) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Upon request, the Seller will provide the Purchaser with copies of reasonably acceptable invoices or other documentation relating to Servicing Advances that have been reimbursed from the Custodial Account.

Subsection 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts (collectively, the “Escrow Account”), titled “Fremont Bank, in trust for Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository affiliate of Seller), which meets the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution for escrow accounts. The Escrow Account shall initially be established and maintained at Fremont Bank, or any successor thereto, and shall not be transferred to any other depository institution without the Purchaser’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Seller.

The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein: (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement and (b) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Subsection 11.07 hereof. As part of its interim servicing duties, the

Seller shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.

Subsection 11.07 Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by the Seller 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 Seller for any Servicing Advance made by Seller 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.

Subsection 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Seller 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). No costs incurred by the Seller or subservicers in effecting the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Mortgaged Properties or mortgage or hazard insurance premiums shall, for the purpose of calculating remittances to the Purchaser, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Seller may, with Purchaser's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to an Eligible Account at a different depository institution.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Seller 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 an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and FHA or VA, as applicable, 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 Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller 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 the Seller, 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 Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that unless otherwise required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note or applicable law, the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and FHA or VA, as applicable, 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 and FHA or VA requirements, as applicable, unless otherwise required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note or applicable law.

Subsection 11.11 Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80%, the Seller shall promptly, without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer insuring the portion over 78% (or such other percentage in conformance with then current Xxxxxx Mae requirements) until terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1988, 12 USC § 4901, et seq. or any other applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. In the event that such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Seller shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Seller shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 11.18, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as interim servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present or to assist the Purchaser in preparing and presenting, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05.

Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage 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 Seller against losses resulting from fraud, theft, errors, omissions, negligence, dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Seller’s personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Seller, and temporary contract employees or student interns. The Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Seller 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 Seller 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 FHA or VA, Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, as applicable, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Seller by express waiver of FHA or VA and Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller 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 Seller shall endeavor to provide written notice to the Purchaser thirty (30) days prior to modification or any material change.

Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

Subject to Subsection 11.02, in the event that title to a 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.

The Seller 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 Seller 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 below and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Seller, subject to Subsection 11.01. The Purchaser shall pay the Seller a fee of 1.5% of the sales price for such REO Property for services associated with managing the REO Property through its disposition. Upon the request of the Purchaser, and at the Purchaser’s expense, the Seller shall cause an appraisal of the REO Property to be performed for the Purchaser.

The Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, 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 $15,000 shall be made only with the prior written approval of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deduct the costs of managing, conserving, protecting and operating the REO Property from the proceeds of the sale of the REO Property (providing documentary evidence of such costs).

The Seller shall not accept any sale offer for an REO Property that is more than 10% below the Reconciled Market Value of the REO Property without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.14 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its interim servicing activities hereunder and subject to Subsection 11.15, the Seller 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, fees related to the disposition of REO Property and other ancillary

income shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its interim servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. The Servicing Fee shall not be reduced by the amount of any guarantee fee payable to FHA or VA.

Subsection 11.15 Distributions.

On each Remittance Date the Seller shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of such date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(c) through (h).

Not later than each Remittance Date, the Seller shall from its own funds deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall due to either Partial Prepayment or Full Prepayment, if any, existing in respect of the related Principal Prepayment Period.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Fremont Bank, or its successor, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percent (2%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller 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 Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.

Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Purchaser.

Not later than five (5) days prior to each related Remittance Date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser a statement in the form specified and with the information required by the monthly reporting format of the Master Servicer, as provided to the Seller by the Purchaser. Such statement shall also include information regarding delinquencies on Mortgage Loans, indicating the number and aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Loans which are either one (1), two (2) or three (3) or more months delinquent. The Seller shall submit to the Purchaser monthly a liquidation report with respect to each Mortgaged Property sold in a foreclosure sale as of the related Record Date and not previously reported. The Seller shall also provide such information as set forth above to the Purchaser in electronic form in the Seller’s standard format, a copy of which has been provided by the Seller.

In addition, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser monthly loan-by-loan default information including, without limitation, notes made and retained by the Seller in connection with servicing the defaulted loan, the reasons for the default, updated values of the Mortgaged

Property, updated FICO scores on the Mortgagor and information regarding Servicing Advances made.

The Seller 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 pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare federal income tax returns as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Subsection 11.17 [Reserved].

Subsection 11.18 Assumption Agreements.

The Seller 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 prior approval, the Seller 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 prior to payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the Seller 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 Seller 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 (if applicable), the Gross Margin (if applicable), the Initial Rate Cap (if applicable) or the Periodic Rate Cap (if applicable) 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 Seller 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 Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to deliver to the Seller (or cause to be delivered to the Seller) the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Seller 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 Seller, 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 Seller grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall insure the Seller 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 Seller Shall Provide Access and Information as Reasonably Required.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser, and for any Purchaser insured by FDIC or NAIC, the supervisory agents and examiners of FDIC and OTS or NAIC, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans which may be required by applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Seller.

In addition, the Seller shall furnish upon request by the Purchaser, 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 may require. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.21 Inspections.

The Seller shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often deemed necessary by the Seller to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than forty-five (45) days delinquent, the Seller shall 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 Seller shall keep a written report of each such inspection and shall provide a copy of such inspection to the Purchaser upon the request of the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.22 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Seller need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser 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. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum, the Seller shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note and applicable law, comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

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

(b) the Seller 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 Seller shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

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

Subsection 11.23 Fair Credit Reporting Act.

The Seller, in its capacity as interim servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis.

Subsection 11.24 Transfer of Servicing to Purchaser.

The Seller shall cause all Servicing Rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be transferred to the Purchaser (or such person as the Purchaser may designate) on the Servicing Transfer Date. The Seller hereby agrees to comply with the Servicing Transfer Instructions attached hereto as Exhibit 4.

Subsection 11.25 Payments Received.

The Seller shall apply all payments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans during the Interim Servicing Period and after the Transfer Date in accordance with the Servicing Transfer Instructions.

SECTION 12. The Seller.

Subsection 12.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to or resulting from (i) any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon or resulting from, or alleging a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 7.01 or 7.02 of this Agreement, and without regard to any knowledge qualifier included in any such representation or warranty, (ii) a breach by the Seller of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or (iii) any material misstatements or omissions contained in any information provided by the Seller pursuant to Section 32 or any failure by the Seller to comply with Section 32.

(b) The Seller shall immediately notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, and the Seller shall assume (with the written consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees. If the Seller has assumed the defense of the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a written report of all expenses and

advances incurred by the Seller pursuant to this Subsection 12.01 and the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim in any way relates to or results from anything listed in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Subsection 12.01(a).

Subsection 12.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

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

Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Seller shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Subsection 12.03 Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

The duties and obligations of the Seller in its capacity as the interim servicer of the Mortgage Loans shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Seller as interim servicer shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Seller as interim servicer. Neither the Seller nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in 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 Seller as interim servicer against any liability resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty made herein, or from any liability specifically imposed on the Seller as interim servicer herein; and, provided further, that this provision shall not protect the Seller as interim servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller 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 Seller shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to the Seller’s duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Upon receipt by the Seller of such written notice from the Purchaser stating that it intends to terminate the Seller as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement, including any compensation due the Seller under this Agreement on and after the effective date of termination, 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, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver to a successor any and all documents and other instruments, 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

SECTION 14. Termination.

Subsection 14.01 Termination.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections, the Seller shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor.

Any termination or resignation of the Seller or this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 13.01 or 14.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller based upon facts and circumstances arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller as servicer of the Mortgage Loans.

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.

It is not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Loans transferred hereunder. 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 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 a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the assets transferred hereunder, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

SECTION 2. COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Subsection 2.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Regulation AB Addendum is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission and that the provisions of this Regulation AB Addendum shall be applicable to all Mortgage Loans included in a Securitization Transaction closing on or after January 1, 2006, regardless whether the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Purchaser from the Company prior to the date hereof. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Regulation AB Addendum to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. The Purchaser and the Company also acknowledge and agree that amendments to Regulation AB may become effective during the term of this Agreement and that both parties will use commercially reasonably efforts to comply with such amendments.

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). The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and one of any Master Servicer or any Depositor (as requested), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans reasonably believed by the Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

For purposes of this Regulation AB Addendum, the term “Purchaser” shall refer to Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation and its successors in interest and

I-3

assigns. In addition, any notice or request that must be “in writing” or “written” may be made by electronic mail.

Subsection 2.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Company.

Such Static Pool Information shall be prepared by the Company (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to the Company (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to this paragraph.

(a) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided in written or electronic format under this Article II by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article II by or on behalf of any Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company 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 Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company or any Third-Party Originator.

(e) This indemnification shall survive the termination of the Agreement or the termination of any party to the Agreement.
