Subservicer will comply with, and Subservicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Mortgagor to comply with, all Applicable Requirements.

2.3 Procedure.

Until the principal and interest of each Mortgage is paid in full, unless this Agreement is previously terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject to all Applicable Requirements, Subservicer shall:

(a) Collect from Mortgagors applicable payments of principal and interest, and applicable deposits for taxes, assessments and other public charges that are generally impounded, hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums as required, FHA insurance or private mortgage insurance premiums, optional insurance premiums, and all other items, as they become due;

(b) Accept payments of principal and interest and impound deposits only in accordance with the Mortgage instruments. Deficiencies in or excesses in payments or deposits shall be accepted and applied, or accepted and not applied, or rejected in accordance with the requirements of HUD and VA, with respect to FHA and VA mortgages, respectively, and in accordance with the provisions of conventional mortgage loan instruments with respect to conventional loans;

(c) Apply all installment payments and impound deposits collected from the Mortgagor, and maintain permanent mortgage account records capable of producing, in chronological order: the date, amount, distribution, installment due date or other transactions affecting the amounts due from or to the Mortgagor and indicating the latest outstanding balances of principal, impound deposits, advances, and unapplied payments;

(d) Pending disbursement, segregate and deposit funds collected in a custodial account or accounts in an insured financial institution in such manner as to show the custodial nature thereof, and so that the Investor and each separate Mortgagor whose funds have been deposited into such account or accounts will be individually insured under the rules of the FDIC. Subservicer’s records shall show the respective interest of the Investor and each Mortgagor in all such custodial accounts. All funds collected for principal and interest shall be maintained by and carried in records of Subservicer as “trustee” for the Investor, except as may otherwise be required by all Applicable Requirements;

(e) Pay interest on custodial accounts which it maintains or controls pursuant to sub-paragraph (d) above if any Applicable Requirement requires the payment of interest on such deposits. Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for said interest in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof As applicable, Subservicer will determine the amount of deposits to be made by Mortgagors and will furnish to each Mortgagor, at least once a year, an analysis of the escrow/impound account;

(f) Maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, ground rents and other recurring similar charges generally accepted by the mortgage servicing industry

4

which would become a lien on the security property. For all Mortgages providing for the payment to and collection by Subservicer of impound deposits for taxes, ground rents or such other recurring charges, Subservicer shall remit payments for such charges before any penalty date. Subservicer assumes responsibility for the timely remittance of all such payments and will hold harmless and indemnify Owner/Servicer and Investor from all penalties, loss or damage resulting from Subservicer’s failure to discharge said responsibility subsequent to delivery of servicing to Subservicer;

(g) For all mortgage loans which have no provisions for the payment to and collection by Subservicer of impound deposits for taxes, upon notification by its tax service, promptly contact Owner/Servicer regarding the delinquency of any said tax. Subservicer will pay any delinquent taxes and xxxx Owner/Servicer accordingly. Additionally, Subservicer shall not be responsible for payment of ground rents or other charges for any Mortgage for which it is not obligated to collect impound deposits and will pay such charges only upon Owner/Servicer’s instructions and remittances;

(h) When funds held in any Mortgagor’s escrow/impound account are insufficient to pay taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance premiums, hazard or flood insurance premiums, or other items due therefrom, Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for all outstanding deficiencies, and any other advances made by Subservicer to protect the security of Owner/Servicer and Investor, in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof;

(i) Maintain in full force and effect at all times existing FHA mortgage insurance, VA guaranty, private mortgage insurance, or optional insurance, as applicable, in accordance with the type of Mortgage, and will assume responsibility for the remittance of the premiums thereon to the extent the funds are available from the Mortgagor’s impound account and

(j) Assure that improvements on the property securing each Mortgage are insured by a hazard insurance policy acceptable under applicable Investor guidelines. In all events, the provisions of the underlying loan documents shall prevail. In order to effectively service the Mortgages during the subservicing period, the mortgagee on the hazard insurance will read as follows:

Crescent Bank and Trust Company,

its Successors and/or Assigns

Central Loan Administration & Reporting

P. C. Xxx 00000

Xxxxx, XX 00000

In accordance with the terms of Subservicer’s mortgage impairment insurance policy, Subservicer shall not maintain the original insurance policy for any Mortgage delivered for subservicing.

5

2.4 Other.

Subservicer shall be responsible for further safeguarding Investor’s interest in the property and rights under the Mortgage by:

(a) Inspecting properties after the Mortgagor is sixty (60) days or more delinquent in the payment of any obligation under the Mortgage, and perform such other inspections as prudence and sound business judgment, in Subservicer’s discretion, suggest;

(b) To the extent commercially reasonable, securing any property found to be vacant or abandoned, and advising Investor of the status thereof,

(c) Notifying Investor whenever Subservicer receives actual notice of any liens, bankruptcy, probate proceeding, tax sale, partition, local ordinance violation, condemnation or proceeding in the nature of eminent domain or similar event that would, in Subservicer’s judgment, impair Investor’s security; and Subservicer shall assist Investor in undertaking appropriate action to preserve its security;

(d) Advising Investor with respect to requests for partial releases, easements, substitutions, division, subordination, alterations, or waivers of security instrument terms;

This information will be forwarded to Investor for approval and all necessary disclosures. Investor will prepare the necessary assumption papers and forward to Subservicer for processing;

(f) Maintaining in force at all times a policy of errors and omissions insurance coverage at Subservicer’s sole expense. The purpose of such coverage is to provide Owner/Servicer and Investor protection in liquidating a Mortgage against any loss that can be attributed to damage to the property from a hazard or peril required to be insured by the Investor and that otherwise would be insured but for Subservicer’s negligence in allowing insurance coverage to lapse or failing to keep a sufficient amount of insurance in force;

6

(2) Authorizing the restoration and rehabilitation of the damaged property;

(3) If special disaster procedures are issued by Investors or governmental agencies, Subservicer will release funds in accordance with those policies.

2.5 Accounting and Investor Reporting.

Subservicer shall:

(a) Remit to the Investor, on a date and in a manner specified by Investor, all principal and interest due to Investor. Subservicer will remit any guaranty fees to the guarantor in accordance with Applicable Requirements.

(b) Where Investors require the reporting of balances and cash remittances to be reported and remitted at one time and consolidated on the appropriate reports, service one hundred (100%) percent of Mortgages which are servicing retained by Owner/Servicer for those Investors which follow such reporting requirements. Subservicer also will submit all reports to Investor under Owner/Servicer’s assigned “seller/servicer” number or such other number that Owner/Servicer and Investor may designate in writing to Subservicer.

7

(c) In the event Investor sells any part of its interest in any Mortgages to a third party or parties, including the sale of participating interests therein, and such third parties succeed to all of the rights of Investor hereunder for the loan interest purchased and this Agreement remains in full force and effect, remit all principal and interest installments collected under that Mortgage directly to such third party or parties in accordance with the terms of the applicable servicing agreement, after deduction of the servicing fee which is payable to the Owner/Servicer. The obligation to make direct remittances to such third party or parties shall arise upon thirty (30) days written notice of such assignments given by such Investor to Subservicer. Subservicer shall be entitled to and shall be paid an additional One Dollar ($1.00) per loan per month, for each such third party remittance.

(d) In the event the Investor instructs Owner/Servicer to service release any loan(s), and Owner/Servicer shall deliver such notice to Subservicer, immediately acknowledge, in writing to Owner/Servicer, the Investor’s request and proceed in accordance with the Investor’s instructions. In the event Owner/Servicer determines and instructs Subservicer to not proceed with the Investor’s instructions, Owner/Servicer agrees to hold Subservicer harmless for any action taken or claim brought against Subservicer by Investor, and from any loss or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting therefrom. To the extent any loan(s) is thereafter service released in accordance with the Investor’s instructions, Subservicer shall be entitled to the payment by Owner/Servicer of the Exit Fee as provided in Section 5.1 hereof.

(e) Maintain any related custodial demand deposit accounts associated with the receipt, disbursement and accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. as “trustee” for Owner/Servicer and/or Investors and/or Mortgagors with the exception of GNMA servicing.

(f) Where Investors require interest paid through the end of the month although interest due from the Mortgagor is to the actual date of the pay-off, advance its own funds to cover any uncollected interest due the Investor, and Subservicer shall offset any such advances against the gross service fees next due and payable to Owner/Servicer.

(g) Not accept any prepayment of any Mortgage except as specified or authorized by Applicable Requirements and by the terms of the Mortgage, nor waive, modify, release or consent to postponement on the part of the Mortgagor of any term or provision of the Mortgage documents without the written consent of Investor.
