The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent contractors. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any Primary Insurance Policy, any FHA insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal flood insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall enforce “due-on-sale” clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may, in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived any assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be materially adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer such default is imminent) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as such under the Code. The Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof. The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to, and shall, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® System shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to the Servicer, at the Servicer’s direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer and determined by the Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. The Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance), any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties that are not paid by the Mortgagors when due to the extent that any such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance when made. In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer and any affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit information in the form of a “credit score” from a credit repository.

Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer such default is imminent) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as such under the Code. The Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof. The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to, and shall, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, the Trustee and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest Interest, the Trustee and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® System shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to the Servicer, at the Servicer’s direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer and determined by the Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. The Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance), any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties and premiums with respect to any insurance required to be maintained by the Servicer under Section 3.06 and 3.07, to the extent that such amounts are not paid by the Mortgagors when due and to the extent that any such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance when made. In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer and any affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit information in the form of a “credit score” from a credit repository.

The Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage WMB Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage WMB Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof. The Servicer shall not consent, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11.01 of the Countrywide Servicing Addendum, to any modification with respect to any Countrywide Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Countrywide Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Countrywide Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC formed hereunder to fail to qualify as such under the Code.

The Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and Certificates, the Class R-1 Residual Interest Trustee and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage WMB Loan on the MERS® System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage WMB Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® System shall be reimbursable to the Servicer.

The Servicer shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance), any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties related to the WMB Loans and premiums with respect to any insurance required to be maintained by the Servicer under Section 3.06 and 3.07, to the extent that such amounts are not paid by the Mortgagors when due and to the extent that any such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable WMB Advance when made. In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage WMB Loan, the Servicer and any affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit information in the form of a “credit score” from a credit repository.

The Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs a REMIC under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC I as a result thereof. The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to, and shall, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and Certificates, the Class R-1 Residual Interest, Trustee and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and Certificates, the Class R-1 Residual Interest Trustee and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® MERS(R) System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® MERS(R) System shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to the Servicer, at the Servicer’s 's direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer and determined by the Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. The Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Xxxxxxx Mac with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance), any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties and premiums with respect to any insurance required to be maintained by the Servicer under Section 3.06 and 3.07, to the extent that such amounts are not paid by the Mortgagors when due and to the extent that any such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance when made. In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer and any affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.

The Servicer. Washington Mutual Bank Bank, FA shall act as Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices and (unless inconsistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for other portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which a prudent servicer of mortgage loans would do under similar circumstances, including, without limitation, the power and authority to bring actions and defend the Mortgage Pool Assets on behalf of the Trust in order to enforce the terms of the Mortgage Notes. The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent contractors. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any Primary Insurance Policy, any FHA insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal flood insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall enforce “due-on-sale” clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may, in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived any assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be materially adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Subject to the third sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or more for an amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so purchased pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate Principal Balance, as of the Cut-Off Date, of all Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer’s right to purchase any Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (x) if the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 90-days delinquent (the “Initial Delinquency Date”) occurred during the first two calendar months of a calendar quarter, the Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the Initial Delinquency Date and ending on the last Servicer Business Day of such calendar quarter, (y) if the Initial Delinquency Date occurred during the third calendar month of a calendar quarter, the Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the first day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter and ending on the last Servicer Business Day of such succeeding calendar quarter and (z) if the Servicer does not exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 90-day delinquent and thereafter becomes 90-day delinquent again. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan is considered delinquent for 90 consecutive days if a Monthly Payment is not received by the first day of the third month following the month during which such payment was due. Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer such default is imminent) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as such under the Code. The Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof. The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to, and shall, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® System shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to the Servicer, at the Servicer’s direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer and determined by the Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
