Days after receipt of the written request, provided that (a) as to any recorded
document, the applicable recorder's office has returned the recorded document to

(b) The Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the
applicable Custodial Funds Account, on a daily basis, all revenues received with

and lowest acceptable sale price set forth in the marketing plan are acceptable
to the Owner, the REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Company in
accordance with the terms thereof. If the Company receives a bona fide offer to
purchase an REO Property and would like to accept the offer, but the offer is

the Owner with written notification of the terms and conditions of the offer.
Within five (5) Business Days after receiving the terms and conditions of such
offer, the Owner shall review the
15
offer and notify the Company in writing as to whether such terms and conditions
are acceptable to the Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner's failure
to provide such written notification to the Company within such five (5)
Business Day period shall not be deemed acceptance of the offer.
The Company, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds
received in connection with such REO Disposition. If the proceeds from an REO
Disposition are insufficient to reimburse the Company for any related

ARTICLE V
BOOKS AND RECORDS;
TRANSFER OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 5.01. BOOKS AND RECORDS.
The Company shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a
complete set of records for the Mortgage Loans. The Company's books and records
shall clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Owner and
subsequent assignments and transfers of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
5.02 hereof. All documents, records and correspondence, regardless of the media
in which they are stored or maintained, are property of the Owner, and the
Company shall hold the same in a fiduciary capacity for the Owner. The Company
may retain copies of all such documents, records and correspondence as may be
necessary to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.
SECTION 5.02. TRANSFER OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Company acknowledges that from time to time the Owner
intends to sell and/or assign to various Subsequent Purchasers all or a portion
of the Mortgage Loans that are subject to this Agreement, thereby effecting one
or more Whole Loan Transfers or Pass-Through Transfers of such Mortgage Loans.
The Company acknowledges that the Owner shall have the right to sell and assign
any or all of the Mortgage Loans, and the Company shall recognize the related
Subsequent Purchaser as the owner of such Mortgage Loans. With respect to each
Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer, as applicable, entered into
by the Owner or any Affiliate of the Owner, the Company agrees to assist the
Owner in various capacities, and shall, among other things:
(i) cooperate fully and negotiate in good faith with the
Owner, any prospective Subsequent Purchaser, any Rating Agency or any
party to any agreement executed in connection with such Whole Loan
Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer with respect to all reasonable
requests and due diligence procedures and shall use its best efforts to
facilitate such Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer; provided,
however, that if the information provided by the Company to satisfy any
such request or to comply with any such procedure is not required by
any other Transaction Agreement, or is not contained in a standard
report produced by the Company's EDP, any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Company to provide such information shall be
paid by the Owner. However, it is agreed that the Owner shall provide
notice to Company of a: (i) Whole Loan Transfer within five (5)
Business Days of the related trade date and (ii) Pass-Through Transfer
within five (5) Business Days of the submission of a loan pool to the
Rating Agencies;
(ii) execute as servicer or sub-servicer, as the case may be,
all applicable agreements to be executed (or amend existing contracts,
as necessary) in connection with such Whole Loan Transfer or
Pass-Through Transfer that govern the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans (and any agreements and other documents incidental
thereto, including officer's certificates) as the Owner reasonably
requests. The
25
governing documents for Pass-Through Transfers shall contain provisions
customarily included in secondary mortgage market securitized
transactions with respect to like assets that provide for the public
issuance or private placement of securities that (a) evidence an
interest in mortgage loans like the Mortgage Loans and (b) one or more
classes of which may be rated "AA/Aa" or higher by the Rating Agencies,
provided that no such agreement or amendment materially increases the
existing duties of the Company under the Transaction Agreements;
(iii) restate as of the closing date for a Whole Loan Transfer
or Pass-Through Transfer the representations and warranties set forth
in the Purchase and Sale Agreement; provided, however, that the Company
may qualify any such representation or warranty to reflect an event or
circumstance that arose after the applicable Transfer Date and that
would cause such representation or warranty to be inaccurate, so long
as such event or circumstance is not a breach by the Company of any
term or condition of any Transaction Agreement.
(iv) deliver to the Owner or its Affiliates, at the expense of
the Owner, for inclusion in any prospectus, private placement
memorandum or other offering material or disclosure document such
written information regarding the Company or its Affiliates as shall be
reasonably requested by the Owner or its Affiliate (including but not
limited to its audited financial statements, and its mortgage loan
delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience) and indemnify and hold
harmless the Owner and any Affiliate of the Owner for any and all
liabilities, losses and expenses arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, in connection with any material misstatement
contained in such written information or any omission of a material
fact the inclusion of which was necessary to make such written
information not misleading;
(v) deliver to the Owner, and to any Person designated by the
Owner, the Company's audited financial statements and such written
information provided by the Company or its Affiliates (including but
not limited to the information referred to in clause (iv) above and as
set forth in Section 11.02 of this Agreement) as shall be reasonably
requested by the Owner or its Affiliates;
(vi) deliver to the Owner, and to any Person designated by the
Owner, at the expense of the Owner, such opinions of counsel, if any,
as are customarily delivered by servicers in connection with Whole Loan
Transfers or Pass-Through Transfers;
(vii) provide, on an ongoing basis from information obtained
through its servicing of the Mortgage Loans, any information necessary
to enable the "tax matters person" for any REMIC in a Pass-Through
Transfer, including any master servicer or trustee acting in such
capacity, to perform its obligations in accordance with applicable law
and customary secondary mortgage market standards for securitized
transactions, one or more classes of securities issued in which are
rated "AA/Aa" or higher by the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that
if such information is not required by any other Transaction Agreement,
or is not contained in a standard report produced by the Company's EDP,
any set-up costs incurred by the Company to provide such information
shall be borne by the Owner.
26
(viii) maintain any applicable custodial account and escrow
account in accordance with the requirements of the Rating Agencies for
a securitized transaction, one or more classes of securities issued in
which are rated "AA/Aa" or higher, which requirements may include
maintaining such custodial account and escrow account with a depository
institution the long-term unsecured debt rating of which is rated
"AA/Aa" or higher by the Rating Agencies.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 5.02(a), no
agreements, consents or modifications referred to therein shall contain any
provisions that reduce the Servicing Fee as to any Mortgage Loan or that affect
the calculation of the Servicing Fee as to any Mortgage Loan in a manner that is
materially adverse to the Company. All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred
pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to
this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced and administered in accordance
with the terms hereof and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER
SECTION 6.01. PAID-IN-FULL REMITTANCES.
The Company shall determine, and shall accept, the amount required to
pay a Warehouse Mortgage Loan or Special Warehouse Mortgage Loan in full,
including interest to the related payoff date, and within five (5) Business Days
after the Company's receipt of such proceeds shall remit the same to the Owner.
The Company shall include a schedule of Mortgage Loans paid in full with such
remittance substantially in the form of the ALLTEL report P110 that provides
loan-level detail of the proceeds received from such remittances.
SECTION 6.02. MONTHLY REMITTANCES.
(a) On each Interim Remittance Date, the Company shall remit
to the Owner all collections of principal and interest received with respect to
the Warehouse Mortgage Loans and Special Warehouse Mortgage Loans from the
period beginning on the day after the previous Fiscal Month End and ending on
the sixteenth (16th) day of the calendar month of such remittance. Such
remittance shall not include payments relating to Warehouse Mortgage Loans and
Special Warehouse Mortgage Loans that were paid in accordance with Section 6.01.
(b) On each Fiscal Month Remittance Date, the Company shall
remit to the Owner all collections of principal and interest received with
respect to the Warehouse Mortgage Loans and Special Warehouse Mortgage Loans
from the period beginning on the seventeenth (17th) day of the calendar month
relating to such remittance and ending on the Fiscal Month End of such month.
Such remittance shall not include payments relating to Warehouse Mortgage Loans
and Special Warehouse Mortgage Loans that were paid in accordance with Section
6.01.

distribute to the Owner with respect to all Portfolio Mortgage Loans and Special

preceding that Portfolio Remittance Date; plus (+) (ii)
27
any Principal Prepayments received during the related Principal Prepayment
Period; plus (+) (iii) any related Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
SECTION 6.03. MONTHLY ADVANCES BY THE COMPANY.
(a) On each Portfolio Remittance Date the Company shall,
pursuant to Section 6.02(c), remit to the Owner the total of all scheduled
Monthly Payments due on the preceding Due Date for the Portfolio Mortgage Loans
and Special Portfolio Mortgage Loans whether or not such Monthly Payments were
collected from the Mortgagor. Any amounts due but uncollected shall be funded by
the Company as a Monthly Advance.
(b) With respect to any Portfolio Mortgage Loan or Special
Portfolio Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly Advance was made in accordance with
Section 6.03(a), the Company may reimburse itself for its advances from
Mortgagor collections that are subsequently deposited into the applicable
Custodial Funds Account.
(c) If the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment,
that any uncollected payment due from a Mortgagor that is due to be paid to the
Owner in accordance with Section 6.02(c) would not be recoverable from
Liquidation Proceeds or other payments or recoveries (including Insurance
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds) on the related Portfolio Mortgage Loan or
Special Portfolio Mortgage Loan, then the Company shall not advance the amount
considered to be nonrecoverable by the Company, and that amount shall therefore
not be remitted to the Owner until the Portfolio Mortgage Loan or Special
Portfolio Mortgage Loan is liquidated.
(d) With respect to any Portfolio Mortgage Loans or Special
Portfolio Mortgage Loans determined to be nonrecoverable and whose Monthly
Payments are omitted from the scheduled monthly remittance, the Company shall
deliver an officer's certificate to the Owner setting forth the basis of such
determination.
SECTION 6.04. STATEMENTS TO THE OWNER.

Accruals as of Date), which is to be delivered daily, the reports listed on
EXHIBIT G will be delivered to Owner, as to all Mortgage Loans, within five (5)
Business Days after the "cut-off" date specified in EXHIBIT G. The forms of
these reports are contained in, and such reports will be generated by, the
Company's EDP, and the Company shall use its best efforts to deliver such
reports via electronic means to the Owner or its designee. The Company shall
provide the Owner separate reports for the Portfolio Mortgage Loans, Special
Portfolio Mortgage Loans, Warehouse Mortgage Loans and Special Warehouse
Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Company shall provide the Owner with such information
concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner to prepare its

provided, however, that if such information is not required by any other
Transaction Agreement, or is not contained in a standard report produced by the
Company's EDP, any set-up costs incurred by the Company to provide such
information shall be borne by the Owner.
28
SECTION 6.05. FORM OF PAYMENT; INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) All distributions and remittances made to the Owner
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Owner at a bank or other entity having

Company, by check mailed to the address of the Owner provided for in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, or by any other method agreed upon by both parties.
(b) Without limiting the Owner's rights set forth in Section
10.01 hereof, with respect to any distribution or remittance received by the
Owner on or after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which
such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Owner 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 Bank of America, N.A., as
its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one (1)
percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Company to the Owner 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 Company of any such interest shall not be
deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver by the Owner of any Event of
Default by the Company.
ARTICLE VII
SERVICING COMPENSATION
SECTION 7.01. SERVICING COMPENSATION.
(a) Subject to the following paragraph, as compensation for
its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee payable
with respect to each Mortgage Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee
shall be payable monthly from payments of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior
to the deposit of such payments into the applicable Custodial Funds Account,
shall accrue at the applicable Base Servicing Fee Rate, and shall be computed on
the basis of the same principal amount and for the same period respecting which
such interest payment was computed.
(b) The Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan shall be payable
solely from (i) the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment (to the
extent paid by the Mortgagor, but only if a full interest payment is received),
or (ii) from any payment of interest made with respect to the Mortgage Loan from
the proceeds of foreclosure or any judgment, writ of attachment or levy against
the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's assets, or (iii) from funds paid in connection
with any prepayment in full, or (iv) from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds.
(c) As additional compensation hereunder, the Company may
retain (i) all net interest earnings on balances maintained in the Custodial
Funds Accounts and Escrow Accounts and (ii) the Ancillary Fees.
(d) The Company's right to the Servicing Fee shall not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with any permitted transfer
of all the Company's obligations under
29
this Agreement. The Company 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 herein.
SECTION 7.02. ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICING COMPENSATION.
The parties acknowledge that the sale or assignment of Mortgage Loans
by Owner to a Subsequent Purchaser by means of a Transfer pursuant to Section
5.02 may require the Owner to arrange to pay a Servicing Fee based on a rate
that is different from the Base Servicing Fee Rate.
The Company agrees to purchase the right to receive the Final Servicing
Fee Rate at the applicable price set forth in the "Final Servicing Fee Rate"
section of the Pricing Matrix. In the event that the Owner chooses to sell the
Company a Final Servicing Fee Rate that is less than the Gross Yield
Differential, then the difference between the Gross Yield Differential and the
Final Servicing Fee Rate shall be considered Excess Servicing and shall be paid
to the Owner on the remittance date specified in any servicing agreement with a
Subsequent Purchaser, to the extent it is received from the related Mortgagor.
To the extent that the Gross Yield Differential is less than the Final Servicing
Fee Rate, Owner agrees to purchase such difference from the Company pursuant to
the "downward adjustment" section of the Pricing Matrix. All differences in the
Base Servicing Fee Rate and the Final Servicing Fee Rate shall be settled in
connection with the Final Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Section 7.03 of
this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF FINAL PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT
Within five (5) Business Days following any Transfer, Owner shall
provide to Company a computation of Final Purchase Price Adjustment relating to
the Mortgage Loans that were the subject of such Transfer. The Final Purchase
Price Adjustment shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan(s) as of the settlement date of the Transfer. The
Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be paid by the owing party to the other
party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business
Days following receipt of the computation of Final Purchase Price Adjustment by
the Company.
From time to time, Owner shall review all Mortgage Loans being serviced
pursuant to this Agreement and shall designate which of them are Portfolio
Mortgage Loans and which of them are Special Portfolio Mortgage Loans. Owner
shall provide the Company with a list of all Portfolio Mortgage Loans and
Special Portfolio Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, Owner shall provide to Company a
computation of Final Purchase Price Adjustment relating to such Portfolio
Mortgage Loans and Special Portfolio Mortgage Loans. The Final Purchase Price
Adjustment shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding principal balance
of the respective Portfolio Mortgage Loans and Special Portfolio Mortgage Loans
as of the end of the calendar month contemplated above. The Final Purchase Price
Adjustment shall be paid by the owing party to the other party by wire transfer
of immediately available funds within twenty (20) Business Days following the
close of the applicable calendar month. In the event that after designation as a
Portfolio Mortgage Loan or Special Portfolio Mortgage Loan, Owner transfers such
Mortgage Loan in connection with a Transfer, the parties shall determine another
purchase price adjustment based upon the Pricing Matrix then in effect. In these
circumstances, only the pricing adjustments relating to the Final Servicing Fee
Rate and remittance cycle shall apply. Such
30
purchase price adjustment shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan(s) as of the settlement date of the
Transfer and paid by the owing party to the other party by wire transfer of
immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following the
agreement on such adjustment.
ARTICLE VIII
SOLICITATION
SECTION 8.01. SOLICITATION
Without Owner's prior written consent, which may be withheld by the
Owner in its sole discretion, neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall
solicit any Mortgagor, or cause any Mortgagor to be solicited, for subordinate
financing of any Mortgage Loan or any investment or financial services or
products, including, without limitation, insurance and brokerage account
services. The Company (but not any of its Affiliates) may solicit Mortgagors for
prepayment of the related Mortgage Loans, but only if (i) the Company has
obtained the Owner's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably
withheld, (ii) such solicitation is made in compliance with Applicable
Requirements and (iii) upon obtaining any positive responses to such
solicitation, the Company either (A) processes and closes the related Mortgage
Loans pursuant to the Origination Agreement (in the case of Mortgage Loans
subject to the Origination Agreement) or (B) forwards such responses to the
Owner for Owner to process and close (in the case of Mortgage Loans not subject
to the Origination Agreement). Any Servicing Rights resulting from Mortgage
Loans closed pursuant to subclause (A) or subclause (B) of clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence shall be sold to the Company pursuant to the Purchase and
Sale Agreement. Neither the Owner nor any of its Affiliates shall be prohibited
from soliciting any Mortgagor or causing any Mortgagor to be solicited for any
product or service now offered (or hereafter offered) by the Owner or any
Affiliate of the Owner, other than for prepayment of any Mortgage Loan. The
Company shall not prepare or disseminate, for compensation or otherwise, any
mailing lists relating to the Mortgagors, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing
Rights, or otherwise, including any lists of Mortgagors, without the Owner's
prior written consent, which may be withheld by the Owner in its sole
discretion. The parties hereto nevertheless agree that (i) either the Company,
the Owner or their Affiliates may from time to time undertake promotions that
are directed to either their own general customer base or to the general public
at large and that do not target Mortgagors directly, including, without
limitation, newspaper, radio and television advertisements and mass mailing or
telephone solicitations and that (ii) offers by the Company, the Owner or their
Affiliates to refinance Mortgage Loans in response to, or as a result of,
contact initiated by the related Mortgagors or their representatives shall not
constitute solicitation.

In case one or more of the following events (each, an "Event of
Default") shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any failure by the Company to timely remit to the Owner
any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement; or
(ii) any material breach on the part of the Company of any
other term, agreement, covenant, representation or warranty in this
Agreement that has not been cured after written notice and a thirty
(30) day curative period; or
(iii) there shall have occurred under any Transaction

(iv) following entry against the Company of a decree or order
of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for
the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) for the
Company in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or
for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company's affairs, if such
decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of sixty (60) days, or
(v) upon consent by the Company to the appointment of a
trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or
sequestrator (or other similar official) in, or commencement of a
voluntary case under, any federal or state bankruptcy insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar

(vi) upon the Company's (A) admitting in writing its inability

take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute,
(C) making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (D)

(viii) the Company (a) merges or consolidates with or into
another Person, (b) sells substantially all of its assets or (c) sells
a controlling interest that results in a change in control of the
Company (other than any such change of control that results in the
Company being owned or controlled by an Affiliate of the Company, in
existence on the date of this Agreement); or
(ix) the Company fails to meet a "Service Standard" set forth
in Section I of the Operations Guide and the Company fails to remedy
such deficiency within the 90 day period set forth in Section 10.02(b);
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Company, in addition
to whatever rights the Owner may have at law or in equity to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, may terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Company under (a) this Agreement, without paying the Company
any termination fee, except as set forth in the following paragraph, and (b) any
other Transaction Agreement. (As to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, such
agreement may be terminated as to the Subsequent Flow Mortgage Loans and the
Quarterly Bulk Mortgage Loans, as more particularly defined therein.)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner may provide the Company a
written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement as a result of an Event

Company shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, each retain an
Arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the Servicing Rights. The
parties shall cause their Arbitrators to make the Fair Market Value
determination within twenty (20) Business Days after being retained. Upon
receipt of notice of the Fair Market Value from the Arbitrators, the Owner may
elect to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination shall, barring any
other Event of Default, pay the Company the Fair Market Value for the Servicing
Rights of the Mortgage Loans owned by the Company as of such date.
On or after the receipt by the Company of written notice of termination
of this Agreement, all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 13.01. Upon written
request from the Owner, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver any and
all documents and other instruments, deliver to the successor all mortgage
files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with
the Owner and such successor in effecting the
33

SECTION 10.03. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS.
The Owner, by notice in writing to the Company, may waive any default
by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease

been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived.
SECTION 10.04. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the

writing.
(b) In connection with the sharing of Loan Information, the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, Subservicing Agreement and Securitized Loan Primary
Servicing Agreement allow Owner to terminate any or all of the Transaction
Agreements, including but not limited to this Agreement, if (i) in Owner's
judgment, the Company's interpretation of the purported change in the Applicable
Requirements is adverse to Owner, (ii) the Owner disagrees and (iii) the Owner
and the Company are unable to resolve such disagreement or if the parties agree
that a change in the Applicable Requirements restricts in any way the
information the Company may share with the Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Owner may provide the Company a written notice of its intent to terminate
this Agreement as a result of the foregoing. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Owner and the Company shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, each
to retain an Arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the Servicing
Rights. The parties shall cause their Arbitrators to make the Fair Market Value
determination within twenty (20) Business Days after being retained. Upon
receipt of the Fair Market Value from the Arbitrators, the Owner may elect to
terminate this Agreement upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice

Company the Fair Market Value for the Servicing Rights of the Mortgage Loans
owned by the Company as of such date.

provisions hereof, Article XII, Sections 8.01, 10.02, 15.02, 15.04 and 15.16 and
this Section 10.05 shall remain in effect after such termination, and all
provisions relating to the allocation of responsibility for costs incurred by
the Owner and/or the Company shall remain in effect with respect to acts
occurring before such termination.

following:
(a) Any material misrepresentations made by the Owner in

litigation brought by a third party which may give rise to any such obligation,
such party shall promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days,
provide the other party with a notice describing the same. Failure to provide a

which the Indemnifying Party otherwise would have the right to pursue,
including, but not limited to, claims against loan correspondents.
37
Within fifteen (15) days after receipt, the Indemnified Party shall refund to
the Indemnifying Party the amounts of all recoveries the Indemnified Party
received from third parties with respect to any claim for which the Indemnified
Party was reimbursed for its Losses.

which it is liable, or otherwise take the actions which it is required to take

Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or (ii) appoint a successor.
(b) The Owner 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 Company's duties, responsibilities
and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated, the Company shall
discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it
acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or
removal of the Company shall not relieve the Company of any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made in connection herewith or affect the
remedies available to the Owner hereunder, it being understood and agreed that
such provisions shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such
resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Any termination or resignation of the Company or
termination of this Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Owner may
have against the Company due to any failure of the Company to comply with this
Agreement prior to any such termination or resignation.
(d) The Company, in a timely and reasonable manner (but
in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after the effective date of any
termination or permitted resignation of the Company or termination of this
Agreement), shall deliver to the successor (i) the funds in the Custodial Funds
Accounts and Escrow Accounts and (ii) the mortgage files and related documents,
statements and computer files held by it hereunder, and the Company shall
account for all funds. The Company 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 Company. The successor
shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for
amounts the Company actually expended pursuant to this Agreement that the
successor is entitled to retain
38
hereunder and that would otherwise have been reimbursable to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the Owner or new servicer.
ARTICLE XIV
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
SECTION 14.01. COMPLIANCE.
(a) The Company shall at all times undertake and perform
the requirements set forth in Section IV of the Operations Guide as the same may
be amended from time to time (the "BSA Policies and Procedures"). The Company
shall comply with the BSA Policies and Procedures and shall take reasonable
steps to detect payments that are inconsistent with such policies and
procedures. In the event the Company retains the services of a third party
vendor to process the receipt of funds from Mortgagors (hereafter, a "Lock-Box
Vendor"), The Company shall first obtain the Owner's consent to the selection of
such Lock-Box Vendor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further,
the Company shall provide the BSA Policies and Procedures to any such Lock-Box
Vendor and ensure that such Lock-Box Vendor complies with the same.

compliance by the Owner with the Owner's obligations under the BSA by
identifying and reporting possible money laundering and other illegal activity
to the extent set forth in the BSA Policies and Procedures.
(c) Prior to the first Transfer Date, the Company shall
have: (i) appointed a suitable officer of the Company to be responsible for
compliance with the BSA Policies and Procedures; (ii) caused such officer and
any other appropriate persons to have participated in one or more training
sessions on anti-money laundering and bank secrecy act compliance which sessions
will be provided by the Owner or a third party vendor at Owner's expense; and
(iii) implemented policies, procedures and internal controls to undertake the
BSA Policies and Procedures and shall have provided the Owner with photocopies
of internal memoranda and other documents of the Company setting forth such
policies, procedures and internal controls.
(d) Failure of the Company to comply with the terms of
this Article XIV in all material respects, including without limitation the
failure of the Company to take any remedial action called for by the Owner as
described in subsection (f) below, shall constitute grounds for the Owner, in
its sole discretion, to terminate: (i) this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.01(ii) hereof; and (ii) any other Transaction Agreement(s).
(e) The Company shall indemnify the Owner for any
financial losses resulting from the Company's failure to comply with the BSA
Policies and Procedures.
(f) The Owner, upon reasonable notice, may audit and test
the Company's compliance with the provisions of the BSA Policies and Procedures.
Any such audit or test may be conducted by the Owner's internal auditors or
other employees or by an outside auditing firm. If the Owner detects weaknesses
in or exceptions to the Company's compliance with the BSA Policies and
Procedures, the Owner shall notify the Company of its findings, and the Company
shall immediately undertake the remedial action suggested by the Owner and shall
report to the Owner on the action taken. Failure on the part of the Company to
take such remedial action within 30 days
39
after receipt from the Owner of the notice described in the preceding sentence
shall constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement and any other
Transaction Agreements as set forth in subsection (d) above.
ARTICLE XV
