RECORD TITLE AND POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE SERVICING FILES: BOOKS

AND RECORDS

Section 2.01. Servicing Transfer; Record Title and Possession of Mortgage Servicing Files. The Owner shall notify the Servicer not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any proposed Servicing Transfer Date that it desires to have the Servicer service the related mortgage loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall forward to the Servicer with such notice by computer readable electronic transmission, a schedule of such mortgage loans and data tapes with respect to such loans, containing the information specified in Exhibit A. In the event that the Servicer elects not to service such mortgage loans pursuant to the terms hereof, the Servicer shall verbally advise the Owner of such election within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such

-11-

schedule and information. Otherwise, each such mortgage loan shall constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder and shall be subject to this Agreement as of the related Servicing Transfer Date.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan to be serviced hereunder, the Owner shall, or the Owner shall cause the prior servicer to, comply with the Servicing Transfer Procedures and deliver to the Servicer the Mortgage Servicing File for each related Mortgage Loan and, by computer readable electronic transmission, the related Mortgage Loan Schedule not later than five (5) Business Days after the Servicing Transfer Date. Any fees and expenses incurred in transferring the Mortgage Servicing File to the Servicer shall be the obligation of the Owner. In the event that the Mortgage Servicing File fails to contain all of those items set forth in Exhibit E hereof on the date on which the Mortgage Servicing File is required to be delivered to the Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Owner, and the Owner shall use reasonable efforts, at the Owner’s sole expense, to cause to be delivered promptly to the Servicer any missing documents therefrom, or, upon the request of the Owner and at the Owner’s sole expense, the Servicer may, for a fee acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer, undertake to obtain any missing documents therefrom. Until all of such documents with respect to a Mortgage Loan are delivered to the Servicer, or obtained by the Servicer as set forth above, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, the Servicer shall have no liability for any breach of this Agreement resulting, directly or indirectly, from the Owner’s failure to deliver to the Servicer, or the Servicer’s failure to receive, the complete Mortgage Servicing File for each Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan to be serviced hereunder, the Owner will use reasonable efforts to cause all funds, if any, in any escrow or custodial account kept by the prior servicer to be transferred to the Servicer not later than the Business Day following the Servicing Transfer Date. In the event that such funds are not delivered to the Servicer not later than one (1) Business Day following the Servicing Transfer Date, the Servicer will notify the Owner, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, the Servicer shall have no liability for any breach of this Agreement resulting, directly or indirectly, from the Owner’s failure to deliver to the Servicer by such date all of such funds with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this paragraph shall not be applicable with respect to any Mortgage Loans to the extent servicing of such Mortgage Loans was previously transferred by the prior servicer to the Servicer prior to the Owner becoming owner of such Mortgage Loans.

Record title to the Mortgage Loans shall be retained by the Owner, and possession of any Mortgage Servicing Files delivered to the Servicer shall be held in trust for the Owner as the owner thereof, for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loans. The ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Mortgage Loan Documents, the contents of the related Mortgage Servicing File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, is vested in the Owner. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Mortgage Servicing Files held by the Servicer shall be segregated from the other books and records of the Servicer and shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the Mortgage Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Owner, except when such

-12-

release is required as incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Except as provided herein, the original Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Any fees and expenses of the Custodian shall not be payable by the Servicer.

Section 2.02. Books and Records. The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Owner.

The Owner and its agents may, from time to time and at the Owner’s cost and expense, upon not less than ten (10) Business Day’s prior notice, inspect any of the Servicer’s books and records pertaining to this Agreement, including without limitation all Mortgage Servicing Files, at reasonable times during the Servicer’s normal business hours at the Servicer’s offices; provided, that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, only one (1) Business Day’s prior notice shall apply.

Section 2.03. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Owner shall have the right, without the consent of the Servicer, to assign its interest under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and designate any Person to exercise any rights of the Owner hereunder, and the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Owner with respect to such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that there shall be no more than two separate Owners with respect to the Mortgage Loans included in a loan pool and not included in a Reconstitution without the consent of the Servicer. All references to the Owner shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee. The Servicer shall not be responsible for the preparation or recording of mortgage assignments or financing statement amendments in connection with such assignments; provided, however, that in the event the Servicer agrees to record any mortgage assignment or financing statement, any expense, including the fees of third party service providers, incurred by the Servicer in connection with the recordation of mortgage assignments shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance. In cases where the prior servicer or owner prepared all or any part of the assignment, the Servicer shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the Owner against, any losses, costs, penalties and damages incurred as a result of incorrect or incomplete, or untimely submission of, assignments and applicable recording information.

The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Servicer may prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to deal with any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans except for the Owner unless the Owner provides prior written notice to the Servicer of a sale of one or more Mortgage Loans to such Person and the assumption by such Person of the obligations of the Owner hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loan(s). Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall ▇▇▇▇ its books and records to reflect the ownership of such Mortgage Loan(s) by such assignee, and the previous Owner shall be released from its obligations hereunder attributable to the period after such assignment to the extent such obligations relate to such Mortgage Loan(s) sold by the Owner. The Owner shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the Servicer in transferring the Mortgage Loans to such assignee.

Section 2.04. Tax Service Contracts. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.04 (b), on or prior to boarding, the Owner shall by written notice to the Servicer identify each First Mortgage

-13-

Loan which is not subject to a fully assignable life of loan tax service contract issued by a tax service contract provider listed on Exhibit H attached hereto. In the event that the Owner fails to provide such notice to the Servicer or if any First Mortgage Loan is not subject to a fully assignable life of loan tax service contract issued by a tax service contract provider listed on Exhibit H attached hereto which is assignable to the Servicer or any subsequent Servicer without the payment of any cost or fee, the Servicer shall acquire a tax service contract for any such First Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall deliver an invoice on a monthly basis to the Owner with respect to the costs of acquiring any tax service contracts and shall deduct the cost of such tax service contracts prior to depositing any funds in the Custodial Account.

(b) Waiver. The parties hereby waive the obligations of the parties related to life of loan tax service contracts contained in Section 2.04 (a) (“Waiver”). The Waiver shall be effective for each First Mortgage Loan beginning on the Servicing Transfer Date and ending on the earlier of (i) 60 days after the Servicing Transfer Date; (ii) 5 days after the Owner provides written notification to Servicer to acquire tax service contracts for the related First Mortgage Loan; or (iii) Owner sells the related First Mortgage Loan to a third party. The (“Waiver”) is subject to (a) the provisions in Section 5.05, allowing Servicer to reimburse itself from the Custodial Account for any claims, losses, legal fees and any other costs or expenses of Servicer arising from the Waiver, and (b) the indemnity provisions in Section 8.01 (b).

SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 5.01. Servicer to Act as the Servicer. The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on an actual/actual basis in accordance with this Agreement, the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents and Acceptable Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder, and the Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent contractors.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner, permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any other act that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the Owner’s interest in the Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan, Mortgage, Mortgaged Property, Mortgage Loan Documents or Mortgage Servicing File related to a Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices, Applicable Regulations, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and shall provide to the Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to it thereby. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney in a form attached hereto as Exhibit G and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

-19-

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ collection procedures consistent with Acceptable Servicing Practices and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall have an internal quality control program that generally satisfies ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and HUD requirements.

The Servicer shall not consent to the placement of any lien on the Mortgaged Property or any REO Property without notifying and obtaining the written consent of the Owner. The Servicer shall not consent to the placement of a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any REO Property senior to that of the related Mortgage.

Section 5.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the related Servicing Transfer Date until the principal and interest on the related Mortgage Loan are paid in full on the Termination Date pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, Acceptable Servicing Practices and Applicable Regulations. Further, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which provides for Escrow Payments to be made, in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices and Applicable Regulations, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to ascertain and estimate annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable such that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall have no obligation to collect, or make payments to the Owner with respect to, any prepayment penalties, late charges, fees or other items which are prohibited under applicable law.

Section 5.03. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as is consistent with Acceptable Servicing Practices.

In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Applicable Regulations and the Acceptable Servicing Practices with respect to mortgage loans in foreclosure or similar proceedings. In the event that foreclosure results in a deficiency and applicable law permits, the Servicer shall continue to perform collection services in accordance with a receivable collection agreement to be entered into with the Owner.

In the event that the Owner directs the servicer to charge off any Mortgage Loan or the Servicer, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, charges off any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall perform collection services with respect to such charged-off Mortgage Loan in accordance with a receivable collection agreement to be entered into with the Owner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received notice of, or has knowledge of, the presence of any

-20-

toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, either the Servicer or the Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, it would be in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices to take such action as necessary in order to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices to take such action with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 5.03 and any opinion of counsel the Servicer reasonably determines that it needs to make a reasonable judgment with respect to its duties under this Section 5.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 5.05(ii) but subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 regarding nonrecoverability.

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it would be in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 5.05(ii) but subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 regarding nonrecoverability.

Section 5.04. Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts. The Servicer 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 (1) or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which account may be established with the Servicer. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto. A copy of

-21-

such letter agreement shall be sent to the Owner promptly after a Custodial Account is set up. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account.

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;

(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 5.13; and

(viii) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.14 or 6.01.

Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.05(iii). Any funds on deposit in the Custodial Account may only be invested in accordance with Section 5.15.

Section 5.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account. The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 6.01 after payments or reimbursements to the Servicer are made in accordance with this Agreement;

-22-

(ii) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Agreement and not previously reimbursed to the Servicer and to pay itself any accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property;

(iii) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date);

(iv) to reimburse itself for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances made pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) to reimburse itself for any deposits made by mistake or in error; and

(vi) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement with the balance to be paid to the Owner.

(vii) To pay to itself for any payments, losses, expenses or liabilities incurred by Servicer arising from the Waiver.

The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from 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 and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

Section 5.06. Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each First Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one (1) or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds on deposit in any Escrow Account may only be invested in accordance with Section 5.15.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis within one (1) Business Day of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Other Insurance Proceeds and any applicable Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied only to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property and not to ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and similar items. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 5.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagors and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds interest on escrowed funds to

-23-

the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes, provided that the accounts are maintained at a depository institution selected by the Servicer.

Section 5.07. Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and similar items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (viii) to transfer to the Custodial Account any Other Insurance Proceeds.

Section 5.08. Payment of Taxes, Insurance, and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which provides for Escrow Payments to be made, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall use reasonable efforts to effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. To the extent that any First Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. With respect to each First Mortgage Loan, subject to Acceptable Servicing Practices, the Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments within the time period required to avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure from a tax or other lien. Additionally, for all tax penalties and interest levied prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer or as a result of the actions of the prior servicer or the Owner, the Servicer shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer reasonably determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement for any Servicing Advance from any and all funds deposited in the Custodial Account whether or not the funds deposited in the Custodial Account relate to the Mortgage Loans or REO Property for which the Servicing Advances were made.

-24-

With respect to each First Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect (to the extent a Mortgage Loan has a Primary Insurance Policy as of the Servicing Transfer Date) a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less or such lesser percentage as may be stated in the related Primary Insurance Policy. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the Servicing Transfer Date of which the Servicer has actual knowledge that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of which the Servicer has actual knowledge of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 7.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy of which the Servicer has actual knowledge in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 5.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.05.

Section 5.09. Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time with notice to the Owner; provided that such accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Within three (3) Business Days of such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner a new letter agreement, as required pursuant to Sections 5.04 and 5.06.

Section 5.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each First Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage

-25-

Loan and any mortgage loan senior to the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Owner, (x) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property, (y) public liability insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.

If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Servicer shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices, and secure from the owner’s association its agreement to notify the Servicer promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.

Section 5.11. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain, at its own expense, a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (a “Qualified Insurer”) insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 5.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 5.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 5.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 5.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account to the extent such amounts are not deposited in the Escrow Account. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Owner, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in

-26-

accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 5.12. Restoration and Repair

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as is deemed necessary by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than ninety (90) days delinquent, the Servicer shall immediately inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall keep a written report of each such inspection.

-27-

Section 5.13. Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with a Qualified Insurer on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 5.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae MBS Selling and Servicing Guide or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Servicer’s Guide. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 5.14. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. 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 issued in the name of the Owner.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner.

The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account, all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the Owner’s interest.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance, and all other insurance coverage required under Section 5.10 and in the amounts specified in Section 5.10.

-28-

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably determines to be in the best interest of the Owner and provided the sales price and the related terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited promptly in the Custodial Account following receipt thereof for distribution on the next Remittance Date in accordance with Section 6.01. The Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer or an affiliate may receive usual and customary real estate referral fees from real estate brokers in connection with the listing and disposition of REO Property.

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

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

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code or any successor provision thereof.

Section 5.15. Notification of Adjustments. On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan and shall adjust the Monthly Payment in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding interest rate adjustments. The Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Owner of all applicable data and information regarding such interest rate and Monthly Payment adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments.

Section 5.16. Permitted Investments.

(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining any Custodial Account or Escrow Account (for purposes of this Section 5.16, an “Investment Account”) to invest, or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein only in one (1) or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution

-29-

maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer shall:

(i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b) Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from the immediately preceding Remittance Date to such Remittance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Servicer. In the event that any loss or late payment shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account, the Servicer shall deposit therein, no later than the Remittance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from the immediately preceding Remittance Date to such Remittance Date. If the Servicer advances funds to cover a shortfall in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account due to a late payment on a Permitted Investment, the Servicer may withdraw the amount of such advance when the late payment on the Permitted Investment is made.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer may and, upon the request of the Owner shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings, it being understood that the Servicer will duly observe subsection (b) of this Section 5.16 notwithstanding any action taken or to be taken by the Servicer in accordance with this subsection (c). The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs, expenses, fees, loss and damages, if any, resulting from taking any action contemplated under this Section 5.16(c).

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

Section 6.01. Distributions. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.05).

All remittances made to the Owner on each Remittance Date shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor identified by the Owner to the Servicer.

-30-

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 6.02. Statements to the Owner. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall submit a Monthly Report in electronic format substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit F hereto (or in such other form and manner as may be hereafter mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the Servicer), showing all collections of interest and principal (from whatever source) on the Mortgage Loans and all collections in respect of the Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties (including sale proceeds and rental payments) since the preceding Remittance Date as well as the amounts, and a detailed description of all Servicing Advances incurred since the preceding Remittance Date and all distributions from the Custodial Account since the preceding Remittance Date.

With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Owner no later than the Remittance Date occurring in the following month, which report shall contain the following:

(i) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts);

(ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest and assumption fees;

Such statement shall be in electronic media which will include the listing price, the anticipated sale price and the anticipated closing date. Additionally, with respect to any Mortgage Loan which has been delinquent for ninety (90) days or more and any REO Property, the Servicer shall furnish to the

-31-

Owner a statement in electronic media which will include all information reasonably required by the Owner including, but not limited to: the reason for default, the current status of such Mortgage Loan (whether in foreclosure, bankruptcy, work-out or being resolved), the last comment on the account, the last paid date, the template dates from the servicing system (such as the estimated sale date), and the first legal action.

Section 6.04. Nonrecoverability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Owner with the following month’s Remittance Report, which details the reasons for such determination and contains an appraisal of the value of the Mortgaged Property. As of each Remittance Date, to the extent that amounts deposited into the Custodial Account since the preceding Remittance Date are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance previously made by the Servicer and to pay the Servicing Fee to the Servicer, the Owner shall reimburse the Servicer for such unreimbursed amount and such accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee within ten (10) Business Days of receipt from the Servicer of an invoice for such unreimbursed amount.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 7.01. Assumption Agreements. With respect to each Mortgage Loan the Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights (a) if prohibited by law from doing so, or (b) if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer will enter into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and to the extent required by the applicable primary mortgage insurance agreement, is authorized to prepare a substitution of liability agreement and any other document required in connection therewith to be entered into by the Owner and the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is to be proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to its entering into any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing and obtain the written

-32-

consent of the Owner; provided that the Owner’s consent shall be deemed given if not denied within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states where the Mortgaged Properties are located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, no material term of the Mortgage Loan may be changed, including without limitation, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed and forward to the Custodian the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage Servicing File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

The Servicer shall forward to the Custodian or, at the request of the Owner, to the Owner or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian with the certified true copy of any such documents submitted for recordation with two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within ninety days of its submission for recordation.

Section 7.02. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Servicing Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the monthly remittance report, or at such earlier time as required in order to enable the Owner to comply with its obligations under applicable law, that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Owner or the Custodian. Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner shall, or shall instruct the Custodian to, promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. The Owner agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Custodian to deliver to the Servicer the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than ten (10) Business Days after notification, or such earlier time necessary to assure that the Servicer will not be penalized under applicable law, following its receipt of a notice from the Servicer 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. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to provide a follow-up notice to the Owner in the event that the Owner (or Custodian, as applicable) does not provide any such Mortgage Note to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice from the Servicer to the extent that the Servicer determines that the Owner would otherwise miss a deadline for delivery of the satisfaction of such Mortgage Note.

In the event the Servicer prepares a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (or such lessor amount in connection with a discounted payoff accepted by the Servicer with respect to a defaulted Mortgage Loan) or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the

-33-

The Servicer shall not be liable, and assumes no liability, to any Mortgagor under any of the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties arising out of any act or omission to act of any servicer, sub-servicer, owner, holder or originator of the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties before the Servicing Transfer Date under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Servicer expressly disclaims such liability. Furthermore, the Servicer shall not be liable to the Owner with respect to action taken by the Servicer, or for refraining from taking any action, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property at and in conformity with the direction of the Owner (for this purpose, the terms of this Agreement are directions of the Owner) or for liability caused by or resulting from a delay occasioned by the Owner’s objection to a proposal by the Servicer hereunder, or for any liability caused by or resulting from the

Owner’s breach of a representation or warranty herein or for any liability incurred by reason of the Owner’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in acting or refraining from acting or any failure of performance.

(b) The Owner agrees to indemnify the Servicer and the Purchaser and their respective present and former officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees (including legal fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Owner’s indemnification obligation under this Section 8.01) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Servicer, the Purchaser or such Persons may sustain caused by or resulting from (i) any legal action relating to this Agreement, (ii) any act or omission of the Owner or any employee, agent or representative authorized to act or acting on the Owner’s behalf under this Agreement or with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) any actions or omissions in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property of any prior servicer, sub-servicer, owner or originator of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property, (iv) the Servicer’s taking of any action, or refraining from the taking of any action, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property in conformity with this Agreement or at the direction of the Owner, its employees, or agents, (v) the Waiver, to the extent that Servicer does not obtain full reimbursement from the Custodial Account and (vi) any Environmental Liability; provided, however, the indemnity for Environmental Liability shall not be effective with respect to any liability directly and solely caused by the Servicer that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of, or failure to perform, its duties under this Agreement.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (or, if the Servicer is the indemnified party, the Servicer and the Owner shall have reasonably agreed that there may be such legal defenses available to the Servicer which are different from the legal defenses available to the Owner), the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.

Section 11.13. Reconstitution.

(a) The Servicer and the Owner agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect one or more Whole Loan Transfers, and/or one or more Pass-Through Transfers. With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer, as the case may be, entered into by the Owner, the Servicer agrees:

(i) to cooperate fully with the Owner and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures including participating in meetings with rating agencies, bond insurers and such other parties as the Owner shall designate and participating in meetings with prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans or interests therein and providing information reasonably requested by such purchasers;

(ii) to execute all Reconstitution Agreements provided that each of the Servicer and the Owner is given an opportunity to review and reasonably negotiate in good faith the content of such documents not specifically referenced or provided for herein;

(iii) to cooperate with the Owner and any prospective purchaser with respect to the preparation, endorsement, assignment, or delivery, as the case may be, of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents and other related documents, with respect to servicing requirements reasonably requested by the rating agencies and credit enhancers;

(iv) to negotiate and execute one or more subservicing agreements between the Servicer and the Owner and/or any master servicer which is generally considered to be a prudent master servicer in the secondary mortgage market, designated by the Owner in its sole discretion and/or one or more custodial and servicing agreements among the Owner, the Servicer and a third party custodian/trustee which is generally considered to be a prudent custodian/trustee in the secondary mortgage market designated by the Owner in its sole discretion, in either case for the purpose of pooling the Mortgage Loans with other mortgage loans for resale or securitization; and

-47-

(v) in connection with any securitization of any Mortgage Loans, to execute a pooling and servicing agreement, which pooling and servicing agreement may, at the Owner’s direction, contain contractual provisions including, but not limited to, a customary certificate payment delay, servicer advances of delinquent scheduled payments of principal and interest through liquidation (unless deemed non-recoverable) and prepayment interest shortfalls (to the extent of the monthly servicing fee payable thereto), servicing representations and warranties which in form and substance conform to the representations and warranties in this Agreement and to secondary market standards for securities backed by mortgage loans and property similar to the Mortgage Loans and such provisions with regard to servicing responsibilities, investor reporting, segregation and deposit of principal and interest payments, custody of the Mortgage Loans, and other covenants as are required by the Owner and one or more Rating Agencies. If the Owner deems it advisable at any time to pool the Mortgage Loans with other mortgage loans for the purpose of resale or securitization, the Servicer agrees to execute one or more servicing agreements between itself and a master servicer designated by the Owner at the Owner’s sole discretion, and/or one or more servicing agreements among the Servicer, the Owner and a trustee designated by the Owner at the Owner’s sole discretion, such agreements in each case incorporating terms and provisions substantially identical to those described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer shall have no obligation to enter into any agreement obligating the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans unless such agreement is acceptable to the Servicer in all respects (including, without limitation, matters relating to the obligations imposed on the Servicer thereunder and the compensation to which the Servicer is entitled thereunder) in the Servicer’s sole and absolute discretion.

In the event that the Servicer is not the master servicer, servicer or sub-servicer with respect to a Reconstitution, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the foregoing shall be reimbursed by the Owner after receipt of an invoice therefor and the Owner shall be liable to the Servicer for any applicable Deboarding Fee. All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer is the master servicer, servicer or sub-servicer with respect to a Reconstitution, the Owner agrees that in such Reconstitution (i) the Servicer shall be entitled to servicing compensation at least as favorable as the servicing compensation customarily received by the Servicer in comparable transactions, and (ii) any servicing performance termination triggers shall be approved by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion, provided, that in the event that the Servicer fails to approve the servicing performance termination triggers, the Owner shall have the right to terminate the Servicer’s right to service the related Mortgage Loans upon payment to the Servicer of any applicable Deboarding Fee. In the event any terms of the proposed Reconstitution shall materially and adversely affect the economic terms bargained for by Servicer under the related Commitment Letter or Pricing Letter, then the Owner and the Servicer shall renegotiate in good faith the terms under which the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans to

-48-

take into account the effects of the Reconstitution and, if in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment a satisfactory adjustment of such terms is not made, the Servicer may resign from the duties imposed by this Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and shall be paid the Deboarding Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loans subject to the provisions set forth herein. In addition, in the event that any Mortgage Loans is sold in a servicing-released Whole Loan Transfer, the Owner shall pay the Deboarding Fee to the Servicer in connection with such Mortgage Loans subject to the provisions set forth herein.

Section 11.14. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Owner, OFC and the Servicer hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan and the Federal Courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and any appellate court thereof in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the Owner, OFC and the Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or in such Federal court.

Each of the Owner, OFC and the Servicer hereby irrevocably consents to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified in this Agreement. Each of the Owner, OFC and the Servicer hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE OWNER AND THE SERVICER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.15. Assignment by the Owner. The Owner shall have the right, without the consent of the Servicer, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Property, and designate any Person to exercise any rights of the Owner hereunder, and the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights, and shall assume all of obligations hereunder, of the Owner with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the REO Property, including, without limitation the obligation to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advances. All references to the Owner in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee.

-49-

Section 11.16. Limitation on Assignment by the Servicer. The Owner has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer and subsequent purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, except: (a) as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, (b) in the case where such assignment, delegation, sale, or disposition is to the corporate parent of the Servicer or to an affiliate of the Servicer, (c) the Servicer, without the consent of the Owner, may retain third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions; provided, that the retention of such contractors by the Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (d) the Servicer (or the Purchaser) may upon notice to the Owner, and without the consent of the Owner, solely in connection with a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), assign as collateral security or pledge to another Person all its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights and its rights to reimbursement of Servicing Advances.

CERTIFICATE REGARDING GEORGIA LOANS

Reference is made to the Georgia Fair Lending Act (the “Act), which went into effect on October 1, 2002. As of each Transfer Date, the Owner certifies that each of the following representations are true with regard to Mortgage Loans originated in Georgia after October 1, 2002 (“Loans”).

1.	No Loan finances any insurance or other coverage written in connection with a home loan that provides for cancellation of all or part of a borrower’s liability in the event of loss of life, health, personal property or income.

2.	No Loan was made in connection with a recommendation or encouragement of default on an existing loan or other debt, following which the Loan refinanced all or any portion of such existing loan or debt.

3.	No Loan document provides for a late payment penalty unless:

a. the payment was past due for ten days or more,

b. the charge did not exceed 5 percent of the amount of the late payment, and

c. no more than one late payment fee is charged for such late payment.

4.	No fee may be charged for transmitting a pay off balance on any Loan, unless such information is provided by facsimile or within 60 days of a previous request, and the fee does not exceed $10.00.

5.	None of the Loans were made in connection with the refinancing of an existing home loan that was consummated within the prior five years, unless the refinancing provided reasonable, tangible net benefit to the borrower considering all relevant circumstances.

None of the Loans were made in connection with the refinancing of a mortgage that was consummated within the prior five years and was originated, subsidized, or guaranteed by or through a state, tribal, or local government or a nonprofit organization, which provided special terms beneficial to the borrower that were lost as a result of the refinancing.

7.	No High-Cost Home Loan provides for:

7.1 prepayment fees or penalties to be charged to the borrower after the last day of the twenty-fourth month following the loan closing;

J-2

7.2 prepayment fees which exceed in the aggregate (i) more than 2 percent of the loan amount prepaid within the first 12 months following closing, or (ii) more than 1 percent of the amount prepaid in the second 12 months following closing;

7.3 scheduled payments that are more than twice as large as the average of earlier scheduled payments, unless the payment schedule is adjusted to the seasonal or irregular income of the borrower;

7.4 payment terms under which the outstanding principal balance will increase at any time over the course of the loan because regular payments do not cover interest due;

7.5 increases in the interest rate after default;

7.6 terms under which more than two periodic payments are consolidated and paid in advance from the loan proceeds provided to the borrower;

7.7 terms that require the borrower to assert a claim or defense in a forum that is more costly or less convenient than the state where the borrower may otherwise bring the claim;

7.8 fees to modify, renew, extend, amend or defer a payment due under a High-Cost Home Loan; and

7.9 the arbitrary accelaration of a High-Cost Home Loan.

8.	At the time each High-Cost Home Loan was made, it was reasonable to believe that the borrower residing in the home would be able to make the scheduled loan payments.

9.	The security documents for each High-Cost Home Loan contain a legend or notice that the mortgage is subject to the provisions of the Act.

10.	The Owner has obtained certification from a counselor with a third-party nonprofit organization approved by HUD or the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority that each borrower under a High-Cost Home Loan has received counseling on the advisability of his/her respective Loan.

11.	No High-Cost Home Loan was made, arranged, or assigned by a person selling home improvements to the dwelling of a borrower.

12.	None of the Loans resulted from a divided loan transaction consummated in an attempt to avoid application of any federal or state laws.

13.	All Loans have been made, originated and serviced through the Transfer Date in compliance with the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
