Servicing Advances: All customary, reasonable and necessary “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Interim Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited to, the cost of (i) preservation, restoration and repair of a Mortgaged Property, (ii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings with respect to a Mortgage Loan, including foreclosure actions and (iii) the management and liquidation of REO Property.

Servicing Fee: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the amount of the fee the Purchaser shall pay to the Interim Servicer, which shall, for each month, be equal to 0.50% per annum per Mortgage Loan, payable monthly, in arrears. If the Interim Servicing Period includes any partial month, the Servicing Fee for such month shall be pro rated at a per diem rate based upon a 30-day month.

Servicing File: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the file retained by the Interim Servicer consisting of originals of all documents in the Mortgage File that are not delivered to the Purchaser or the Custodian and copies of the Mortgage Loan Documents set forth in Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement.

Servicing Rights: All of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, together with all Custodial Accounts, Escrow Accounts, contract rights, incidental income and benefits, and exclusive rights to possession and use of servicing files and records directly or indirectly related thereto, including, without limitation, borrower lists, insurance policies and tax service agreements.

Servicing Transfer Date: With respect to a Mortgage Loan, the date on which the physical servicing of such Mortgage Loan and the related Servicing Rights and Interim Servicer Responsibilities are transferred to the Purchaser or its designee, pursuant to Subsection 13.05 herein, which date shall not be later than the end of the Interim Servicing Period, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and Initial Purchaser; provided, however, if the Purchaser exercises its option to terminate the Interim Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicing Transfer Date will be deemed to have occurred upon such termination subject to the giving of all legal notices of the transfer of servicing.

Static Pool Information: Information regarding delinquencies, cumulative losses and prepayments relating to pools of mortgage loans previously securitized by and publicly offered whereby the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller (or, if applicable the Third-Party Originator or affiliate of the Third-Party Originator) was the sponsor and which mortgage loans included in such pools were of a similar type to the Mortgage Loans.

Whole Loan Transfer: Any sale or transfer of some or all of the Mortgage Loans, other than a Securitization Transaction.

2. Agreement to Purchase. On the Closing Date, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, without recourse but subject to the representations, warranties, terms and provisions of this Agreement, Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance on the related Cut-off Date in an amount as set forth in the Commitment Letter, or in such other amount as agreed by the Purchaser and the Company as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser on the Closing Date.

3. Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Company shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on the Closing Date to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing Date.

4. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be the amount determined pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter (subject to adjustment as provided therein). If so provided in the Commitment Letter, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately. The Purchase Price less the Holdback Amount shall be remitted by the Initial Purchaser to the Company on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by the Company. The Holdback Amount, less the amount required to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for First Payment Default Loans, shall be remitted by the Initial Purchaser to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by the Company on the day on which the Company has no further obligations with respect to any First Payment Default Loans.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Initial Purchaser shall pay to the Company, on the Closing Date, accrued interest on the Actual Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date at its Mortgage Interest Rate from the Cut-off Date to but not including the Closing Date.

The Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive with respect to each Mortgage Loan purchased, (1) all scheduled principal due after the Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected by the Interim Servicer after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Company), (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the Mortgage Interest Rate (minus that portion of any such interest payment that was due on or prior to the Cut-off Date) and (4) all Prepayment Charges on the Mortgage Loans collected on or after the Closing Date. The Actual Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date is determined after application to the reduction of principal of payments of principal due on or before the Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, for the purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus the applicable Servicing Fee) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Company shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser, for remittance by the Company to the Purchaser on the first Distribution Date. All payments of principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date following the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.

Upon the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the Closing Date shall be in the name of the Company, the Company’s predecessor in interest, the Purchaser, the Custodian or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. Upon the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, all rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Company or the Interim Servicer after the Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be received and held by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the assignee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Company and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Company to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Company’s business records, tax returns and financial statements.

6.03. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents . Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement to be executed among and delivered by the Initial Purchaser, the Custodian, the Interim Servicer and the Company prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Interim Custodian (as defined in the Commitment Letter) to deliver and release to the Custodian, at the Company’s expense, those Mortgage Loan Documents as required by the Custodial Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased and sold on the such Closing Date and set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule delivered with such Mortgage Loan Documents. The fees and expenses of the Interim Custodian shall be paid by the Company.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement for the Closing Date, as evidenced by the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification of the Custodian in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement.

The Company shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a 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.

Prior to the termination of Interim Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 or 15, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Interim Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Interim Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Purchaser or such successor will not assume any liabilities of the Interim Servicer arising from acts or omissions prior to the effective date of termination, for which the Interim Servicer shall remain liable. 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 Interim Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Interim Servicer shall discharge such duties and obligations 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 the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Interim Servicer as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 16 and shall in no event relieve the Interim Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.04 and 7.05 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Subsection 7.06 or 13.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05 and 13.01 shall be applicable to the Interim Servicer, the Guarantor and the Company, as applicable, notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Interim Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Interim Servicer and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Interim Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and shall indemnify the Interim Servicer for its actions and successor servicer on and after the Servicing Transfer Date provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and the Interim Servicer shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the Interim Servicer’s acts as servicer. Any termination of the Interim Servicer as servicer pursuant to Section 12, 14 or 15 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Interim Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies with respect to such claims.

The Interim Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Interim Servicer shall account for all funds. The Interim Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Interim Servicer as servicer. The successor shall reimburse the Interim Servicer for amounts the Interim Servicer actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Interim Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

18. Financial Statements. The Interim Servicer understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to xxxxxxx prospective purchasers the Interim Servicer’s financial statements for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available; provided however, the Interim Servicer may as a condition to disclosure require such third party to execute a confidentiality agreement related to such disclosure. The Interim Servicer also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by such parties (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of such parties or the public at large). The Interim Servicer, if it has not already done so, agree to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. Each such party also shall make available information on its servicing performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Interim Servicer also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of such parties for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting such parties, their loan origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of such parties.

19. Mandatory Delivery: Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery of all of the Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the Commitment Letter, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Initial Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Company’s failure to deliver each of the Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Initial Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The Company hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Company of its obligation hereunder, and the Company agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the Commitment Letter, and (ii) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

20. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as follows:

(i)

if to the Company, the Guarantor or the Interim Servicer:

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

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

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

23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions therein, except to the extent preempted by Federal law.

24. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the Company is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Company or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Company, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Company shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such review. Moreover, this Agreement relates solely to the purchase described herein and is not an agreement between the parties hereto to negotiate similar terms in the future.

25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, the Interim Servicer and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Company, the Interim Servicer and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing and to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred. Upon any such assignment and written notice thereof to the Company and the Interim Servicer, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement among the Company and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement among the Company, the Interim Servicer and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Company or the Interim Servicer to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.

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

27. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

28. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

30. Further Agreements. The Company, the Interim Servicer and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

31. Tax Service Contracts. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a fully assignable life of loan tax service contract issued by a tax service contract provider.

32. Indemnification by the Guarantor . The Guarantor agrees with the Initial Purchaser, as an inducement to Initial Purchaser’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Company, to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser and any assignee of the Initial Purchaser against any failure by the Company to meet its obligations under this Agreement relating to remedies for breach of representations and warranties, prepayments and partial prepayments, early payment defaults and reconstitution of the Mortgage Loans. The Company hereby confirms its obligation to indemnify DLJ pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

[FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTOR AND THE INTERIM SERVICER]

March 23, 2007

DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc.

Eleven Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Re:

Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement,

dated as of March 23, 2007.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as senior counsel to Argent Mortgage Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), AMC Mortgage Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mortgage Services”) and ACC Capital Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”) in connection with the sale and servicing of certain mortgage loans by the Company to DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement, among the Company, as seller, Mortgage Services, as interim service, Holdings, as Guarantor, and the Purchaser dated as of March 23, 2007, (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Assignment and Conveyance, dated March 23, 2007 (the “Assignment”) executed by the Company. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with rending this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction, have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

The Assignment;

The Purchase Agreement;

Mortgage Services’ and Holdings’ Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended to date;

The Company’s Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement, as amended to date;

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings with specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion.

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, as applicable, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

Each of the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings is duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, and is validly existing and in good standing as under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Company has the corporate power and authority to sell the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Assignment (sometimes collectively, the “Agreements”).

Mortgage Services has the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Holdings has the corporate power and authority to guaranty the repurchase and indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement and the Assignment each have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings, as applicable.

The Purchase Agreement and the Assignment each constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings, enforceable against the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings, as applicable in accordance with their respective terms.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings of the Purchase Agreement and with respect to the Company only, the Assignment, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Assignment, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by Mortgage Services, as provided in the Purchase Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms of or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Agreements will result in a breach of any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Mortgage Services or Holdings, or the certificate of formation or the amended and restated operating agreement of the Company, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of California or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, or (iii) any order of any State of California or federal court regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect on any of them, or their ability to perform their respective obligations under the Agreements.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of any of them to perform their respective obligations under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form and upon completion will be acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where the mortgaged properties are located. When endorsed, as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Notes will be duly endorsed under applicable law.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Company, Mortgage Services and Holdings, have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

My opinion expressed in paragraphs 4 and 8 above is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Company, Mortgage Services or Holdings, the Purchaser and any other party that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of California, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,

SERVICING ADDENDUM

Section 11.01

Interim Servicer to Act as Interim Servicer.

The Interim Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement 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 Interim Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

The Interim Servicer shall administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Purchaser (as determined by the Interim Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of customary and reasonable mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to: (i) any relationship that the Interim Servicer or any Affiliate of the Interim Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor and (ii) the Interim Servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Interim Servicer (a) shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a subservicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans in the same jurisdiction and (ii) either (A) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgment of the Interim Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (B) such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan unrelated to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default where (x) the related mortgagor has stated to the Interim Servicer or an applicable subservicer an intention to refinance the related Mortgage Loan and (y) the Interim Servicer has concluded in its reasonable judgment that the waiver of such Prepayment Charge would induce such mortgagor to refinance with the Interim Servicer. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standards described in clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above, then the Interim Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by depositing such amount into the Collection Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Interim Servicer shall not impose a Prepayment Charge in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in making loan payments, and the Interim Servicer shall have no obligation to pay the amount of any Prepayment Charge it waives in order to comply with this sentence.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Interim 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 Interim Servicer's reasonable determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Interim Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make additional advances of additional principal or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Interim Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, 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 Property. If reasonably required by the Interim Servicer, the Purchaser shall furnish the Interim Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Interim Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Interim Servicer shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of customary and reasonable lending institutions and the Purchaser's reliance on the Interim Servicer (“Accepted Servicing Practices”).

The Interim Servicer may enter into subservicing arrangements with any subservicers acceptable to the Purchaser pursuant to subservicing agreements which are acceptable to the Purchaser, provided the Interim Servicer shall be responsible for any costs or expenses payable to such subservicers, such subservicing agreements shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement, and any such subservicing agreements shall be immediately terminable upon the direction of the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer for any acts or omissions and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Interim Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the subservicer shall be deemed to be between the subservicer and the Interim Servicer 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 or the obligation to pay any termination fees and expenses of the subservicer. The Interim Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the subservicer from its own funds or other amounts permitted to be retained by or reimbursed to the Interim Servicer hereunder.

Section 11.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Interim Servicer shall proceed diligently to 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 and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Interim Servicer shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that 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.

Section 11.03

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Interim Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Subsection 11.01. The Interim Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Interim Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Interim Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05. 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 Interim Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or more, the Interim Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Interim Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Interim Servicer's intention to do so, and the Interim Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice. The Interim Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. In such connection, the Interim Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Interim Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Interim 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, the Purchaser 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 Interim Servicer has also previously determined, based on his 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, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary 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 the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Subsection 11.03 shall be advanced by the Interim Servicer, subject to the Interim Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(vi).

If the Interim Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser 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 Interim Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Interim Servicer, subject to the Interim Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(vi).

(c)

Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Interim Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Interim Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Interim Servicer pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to interest (net of unpaid Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery allocated to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first to reimburse the Interim Servicer for any related unreimbursed Monthly Advances in accordance with Subsection 11.05(ii), and second, as part of the amounts to be distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with Subsection 11.14.

Section 11.04

Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Interim 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 or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit, demand accounts or other Eligible Accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.

The Interim Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received by it subsequent to the Cut off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut off Date:

Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Interim Servicer and the Interim Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii). The Interim Servicer shall give notice to the Purchaser of the location of the Custodial Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Interim Servicer shall, on or before twelve o'clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Custodial Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 11.05

(iii)

to pay to itself pursuant to Subsection 11.22 as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Distribution Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;

(iv)

The Interim Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The Interim Servicer shall provide written notification in the form of an Officers' Certificate to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (iv) above.

Section 11.06

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Interim Servicer 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, in the form of time deposit, demand accounts or the Eligible Accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by Escrow Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 8.

The Interim Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, 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 Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Interim Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Subsection 11.08. The Interim 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 Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Interim Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 11.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Interim Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of taxes and hazard insurance premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Interim Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Interim Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections 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 Interim Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Interim Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance 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 Interim Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Interim Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Interim Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely 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 advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Section 11.09

Transfer of Accounts.

The Interim Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

Section 11.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Interim Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each 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 outstanding principal balance of 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 on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Interim 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 lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Interim Servicer also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Interim 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 Interim Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. Any cost incurred by the Interim Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Interim Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, 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 such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Interim Servicer, or upon request to the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Interim Servicer. The Interim Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Interim Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect the General Policy Rating required by Xxxxxx Xxx and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 11.11

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Interim Servicer shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring against hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Subsection 11.10, the Interim Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Subsection 11.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Interim Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Subsection 11.10, and there shall have been one or more losses 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. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Interim Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Interim Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser 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 days prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 11.12

Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Interim Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. 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 Interim Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Interim 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 Subsection 11.12 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Interim 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 Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Interim Servicers' and Interim Servicers' Guide. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Interim Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 11.13

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the person designated by the Purchaser, or in the event such person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Interim Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Interim Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Interim Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) 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. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO property are held, the Interim Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Interim 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 Interim Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Interim Servicer to the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within two years, or such other period as may be permitted under Section 860(G)(a)(8) of the Code, after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Interim Servicer determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property.

With respect to each REO Property, the Interim Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall deposit such amounts in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal as provided in this Agreement.

The Interim Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the 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 Subsection 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Interim Servicer.

The Interim Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Interim Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Interim Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Interim Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Interim 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 Interim Servicer as provided above, and prior to the Reconstitution Date, up to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.

Section 11.14

Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Interim Servicer shall distribute to the Purchaser 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 Subsection 11.05.

All distributions made to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date will be made to the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned and held by the Purchaser, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Purchaser at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Purchaser shall have so notified the Interim Servicer or by check mailed to the address of the Purchaser.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser on or after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Interim Servicer 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 Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Interim Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Interim Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Interim Servicer.

Section 11.15

Remittance Reports.

No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Interim Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee a computer tape containing, and a hard copy of, the monthly data, as further described and set forth in Exhibit 9-1. On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Interim Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Interim Servicer and the Purchaser may agree from time to time) a computer tape containing, and a hard copy of, the determination data with respect to the related Distribution Date, all as further described and set forth in Exhibit 9-1 hereto, together with such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser may reasonably require to allocate distributions made pursuant to this Agreement and provide appropriate statements with respect to such distributions. On the same date, the Interim Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape containing the information set forth in the Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.

Section 11.16

Statements to the Purchaser.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Interim Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee a statement prepared by the Interim Servicer setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account of each category of deposit specified in Subsection 11.04 and each category of withdrawal specified in Subsection 11.05.

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

Section 11.17

Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.02, with respect to any REO Property, the Interim Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement covering the Interim 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, together with the operating statement. Such statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Section 11.18

Liquidation Reports.

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

Section 11.19

Assumption Agreements.

The Interim Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by 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 rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due on sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Interim Servicer shall not exercise any 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 Insurance Policy, if any. If the Interim Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due on sale” clause, the Interim Servicer shall 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 Subsection 11.01, the Interim Servicer, with the prior written consent of the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is 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.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Interim Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The Interim Servicer shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Interim Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Subsection or any other provision of this Agreement, the Interim Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Interim Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Subsection 11.19, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 11.20

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Interim Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Interim Servicer will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a servicing officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect 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 Subsection 11.04 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 Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser, shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Interim Servicer and the Interim Servicer shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Purchaser.

In the event the Interim Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Interim Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Interim Servicer shall maintain the fidelity bond insuring the Interim Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the service or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Interim Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Interim Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Interim Servicer to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Interim Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non judicially, and the Interim Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a servicing officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a servicing officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Interim Servicer.

Section 11.21

Monthly Advances by the Interim Servicer.

The Interim Servicer shall have no obligation to advance due and unpaid monthly principal and interest payments related to any Mortgage Loan.

Section 11.22

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Interim Servicer shall, subject to Subsection 11.04(x), be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Interim Servicer's Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Interim Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Interim Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 11.23

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, on each Adjustment Date, the Interim Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Interim Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note regarding interest rate adjustments. The Interim Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Purchaser of all applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Interim Servicer's methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Interim Servicer or the Purchaser that the Interim Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Interim Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Section 11.24

[Reserved].

Section 11.25

[Reserved].

Section 11.26 Access to Certain Documentation.

The Interim Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Purchaser access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Interim Servicer required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Interim Servicer. In addition, access to the documentation will be provided to the Purchaser and any Person identified to the Interim Servicer by the Purchaser without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Interim Servicer.
