ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

As of the Reconstitution Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Owner and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the utilization of a Subservicer or a Subcontractor, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and, in the case of any Mortgage Loan transferred to a REMIC, with the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall be responsible for any and all acts of a Subservicer and a Subcontractor, and the Servicer’s utilization of a Subservicer or a Subcontractor shall in no way relieve the liability of the Servicer under this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the REMIC Provisions if a Mortgage Loan has been transferred to a REMIC, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, the Servicer shall not make any future advances, other than Servicing Advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would add any Servicing Advances or costs related thereto to the outstanding principal balance. The Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent. In the event that no default exists or is imminent, the Servicer shall request written consent from the Owner to permit such a modification and the Owner shall provide written consent or notify the Servicer of its objection to such modification within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of the Servicer’s request. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 5.03.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer, within three (3) Business Days of Servicer’s request, any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Owner, in its own name, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from MERS registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Owner, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Owner and its successors and assigns.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering similar mortgage loans for similar investors, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the financing statements and shall file any such financing statements and continuation statements as necessary, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security interest and lien of the Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall not waive a Prepayment Penalty except under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan; or (ii) the Servicer obtains a written Opinion of Counsel, which may be in-house counsel for the Servicer, opining that any Prepayment Penalty or charge is not legally enforceable in the circumstances under which the related Principal Prepayment occurs. In the event the Servicer waives any Prepayment Penalty, other than as set forth in (i) and (ii) above, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such Prepayment Penalty in the Custodial Account for distribution to the Owner on the next Remittance Date.

Section 4.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held

for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Owner, and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings and shall provide such information regarding the Mortgage Loan and such foreclosure as the Owner reasonably may request, provided that the Servicer shall cease or not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Owner objects to such action. The Servicer shall follow any written directions of the Owner with respect to the foreclosure proceedings of such Mortgage Loan, as long as such directions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and do not violate applicable law. In the event the Owner objects to such foreclosure action, the Servicer shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.03, and the Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. The cost for such inspection or review shall be borne by the Owner. Upon completion of the inspection or review, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection.

After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Owner directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event the Owner directs the Servicer not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

Section 4.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, 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 4.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with a 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 or demand accounts, titled “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for Bank of America, National Association, its successors or assigns and/or subsequent Owners of Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - P & I.” The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Owner and within ten (10) days thereof, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with written confirmation of the existence of such Custodial Account in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of Servicer’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Servicer and any other amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement after the Cut-off Date, or received by the Servicer prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date, as follows:

(a) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments (including Prepayment Penalties paid by the Mortgagor or other amounts paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement);

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate along with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall;

(d) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14), Section 4.11 and Section 4.15;

(e) all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;

(f) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 4.01, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;

(g) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 5.04;

(h) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; and

(i) any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all deposits made pursuant to this Section 4.04. All funds required to be deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Owner until withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.05.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(b) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Servicer’s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this sub-clause (b) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Owner;

(c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Owner;

(d) to pay itself interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account if such interest amount was previously credited;

(e) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 8.01;

(f) to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.16 related to any REO Property, it being understood that, in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property;

(g) to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances or REO expenses after liquidation of the Mortgaged Property not otherwise reimbursed above;

(h) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Servicer; and

(i) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for those amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Servicer is not obligated to remit on such Remittance Date. The Servicer may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.05. The 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, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to sub-clauses (c), (e), (f) and (g) above.

Section 4.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting 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 or demand accounts, titled, “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for Bank of America, National Association, its successors or assigns and/or subsequent Owners of Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - T & I.” The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Owner and within ten (10) days thereof, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business Days of Servicer’s receipt, and retain therein:

(a) 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;

(b) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only:

(a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;

(b) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;

(d) for transfer to the Custodial Account for application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(e) for application to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14;

(f) to pay to the Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(g) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Servicer;

(h) to remit to Owner payments on account of Buydown Funds as applicable; and

(i) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy or LPMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect such delinquent payments within such time period as will avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure of a tax or other lien. Advances pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall constitute Servicing Advances hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall be required to so advance only to the extent that the Servicer, in its good faith judgment, believes the Servicing Advance to be recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise. The Servicing Advances and the costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Section 4.09 Protection of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time, provided that the Servicer shall give notice to the Owner of any proposed change of the location of either Account not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to any change thereof.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary or required by law in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of: (i) 100% of the insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Servicer shall notify the Owner and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its

best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 4.11 hereof.

If the related Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

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

In the event that the Owner or the Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Servicer shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the required amount of coverage for the Mortgaged Property and if the Mortgagor does not obtain such coverage, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required coverage on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the

Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration, in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.

Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire, flood and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 without coinsurance and otherwise complies with Accepted Servicing Practices and all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Servicer shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such Owner a certificate of insurance and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to such Owner.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity requiring such Persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy

shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon the request of the Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certificate of insurance for such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 4.13 Inspections.

If any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Servicer immediately shall inspect the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer shall keep a record of each such inspection and, upon request, shall provide the Owner with such information.

Section 4.14 Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Owner prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $20,000, at a minimum the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

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

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

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

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

Section 4.15 Maintenance of PMI Policy or LPMI Policy; Claims.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with an LTV in excess of 80% at the time of origination, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Owner maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy insuring a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as to payment defaults. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the

Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. In the event that such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy for such reason. If the Servicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Owner and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by the insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy or LPMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner, in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy or any other primary mortgage guaranty insurance policies obtained and paid for by the Owner respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.16 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any 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 Owner or the Owner’s designee, or in the event the Owner 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 Servicer from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Owner.

The Owner shall have the option to manage and operate the REO Property provided the Owner gives written notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after such REO Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The election by the Owner

to manage the REO Property shall not constitute a termination of any rights of the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.02.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property 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. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner.

The 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 prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year in which title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Owner to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than three (3) years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Servicer as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 4.05, no REO Property shall be marketed for less than the appraisal value of the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the Owner, and no REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety percent (90%) of its appraised value without the prior written consent of the Owner. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall collect the related REO Disposition Fee, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. On the Remittance Date immediately following the receipt of such sale proceeds, the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Owner.

The Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any managing agent of the Servicer, or the Servicer itself. The Servicer shall make monthly distributions on each

Remittance Date to the Owner of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described in this Section 4.16 and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

Section 4.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information available to the Servicer as the Owner shall reasonably request.

Section 4.18 Liquidation Reports.

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

Section 4.19 Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.

Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code. The Servicer shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the Code.

Section 4.20 Application of Buydown Funds.

With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall have deposited into the Escrow Account, no later than the last day of the month, Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on all Due Dates in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payments which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (without regard to the related Buydown Agreement as if the Mortgage Loan were not subject to the terms of the Buydown Agreement). With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will distribute to the Owner on each Remittance Date an amount of Buydown Funds equal to the amount that, when added to the amount required to be paid on such date by the related Mortgagor, pursuant to and in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement, equals the full Monthly Payment that would otherwise be required to be paid on such Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as if the Mortgage Loan were not a Buydown Mortgage Loan and without regard to the related Buydown Agreement).

If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold

in the liquidation thereof (either by the Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy) the Servicer shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Owner all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Escrow Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Owner in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in its entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Servicer shall be required to withdraw from the Escrow Account any Buydown Funds remaining in the Escrow Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Escrow Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall distribute to the Owner on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Escrow Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

Section 4.21 Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Owner thereby.

Section 4.22 Confidentiality/Protection of Customer Information.

Each party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer Information and shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Information, including maintaining security measures designed to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 (the “Interagency Guidelines”). For purposes of this Section, the term “Customer Information” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines. The Servicer shall promptly make available to the Owner’s regulators information regarding such security measures as requested by such regulators. For purposes of this Section, the term “Customer Information” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines. Each party further agrees that any Customer Information transmitted electronically by either party must be encrypted.

The Servicer, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Servicer, on a monthly basis. The Servicer agrees to transmit full file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall report the status thereof in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Single-Family Servicing Guide.

The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Owner and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.24 and with Sections 6.04, 6.06 and 9.01 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 9.01 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Owner and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.04 and any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.06 and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 6.06 as and when required to be delivered.

(b) It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as a master servicer or administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner, such Master Servicer and such Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.06 and 9.01 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 6.06, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Owner (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date; and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Buydown Funds being held in the Custodial Account, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime 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 deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the 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 Servicer.

Section 5.02 Statements to Owner.

Not later than the first (1st) Business Day of each month, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner, with respect to the preceding month, a monthly collection report, a monthly paid in full report that summarizes Mortgage Loans paid in full during the related Due Period and a monthly trial balance report that provides a trial balance as of the last day of the month preceding such Remittance Date in electronic format set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto, or as agreed upon by the Servicer and the Owner.

Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Owner required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances if the Servicer determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are non-recoverable by the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds, Insurance

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

Section 6.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise 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 PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any.

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other material terms shall be changed without Owner’s consent.

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan. If the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the monthly remittance advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on

the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Owner, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or without the Owner’s prior written approval of such satisfaction or release or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Owner, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account the entire outstanding principal balance, plus all accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan from the date interest was last paid to the Owner to the day prior to the Remittance Date, on the day preceding the Remittance Date in the month following the date of such release; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be obligated to deposit such amount if the Owner provided the Servicer with prior written approval of such action to be taken by the Servicer. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Owner to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The 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 thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 6.04 Annual Statements as to Compliance.

On or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or any Master Servicer and Depositor a statement of compliance addressed to the Owner, any Master Servicer and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, to the effect that (a) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (b) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof.

Section 6.05 [Reserved.]

to qualification as to knowledge and shall survive any Reconstitution Date and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer.

The Owner has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer and subsequent purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, personnel, records and

procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing rights hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder (other than pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.24) or any portion hereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.04, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder (other than pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.24) or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Securitization Materials a material fact required to be stated in the Securitization Materials or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is other than a statement or omission arising out of, resulting from, or based upon the Servicer Information.

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

(k) In connection with any securitization of any Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall assign to the Investor that servicing agreement provided for in the Recon Acknowledgement Agreement or execute a pooling and servicing agreement, which pooling and servicing agreement may, at the Owner’s direction, contain contractual provisions including, servicer advances of delinquent scheduled payments of principal and interest through liquidation (unless deemed non recoverable) and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls (to the extent of the monthly servicing fee payable thereto);

(l) In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall, at the Owner’s expense, make available to the Owner, its affiliates, successors or assigns an agreed-

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 9.01(d) is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Servicer acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provisions of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Owner, such Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions any by reasonably limiting such request to information required, in the Owner’s reasonable judgment to comply with Regulation AB.

In the event the Owner has elected to have the Servicer hold record title to the Mortgages prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Servicer shall prepare an Assignment of Mortgage in blank for each Mortgage Loan that is a part of a Whole Loan Transfer or Agency Sale or prepare an Assignment of Mortgage in blank or to the trustee from the Servicer acceptable to the trustee for each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Securitization Transaction.

(b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or in the Custodial Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner or by the Custodian; or

(c) failure by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business in any jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located if such license is required; or

(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(e) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(f) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its normal business operations for three Business Days; or

(g) the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a Xxxxxx Xxx/Xxxxxxx Mac servicer; or

(j) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 6.04 and 6.06 which failure continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans; or

(k) failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or other material when and as required under Article IX or Section 4.24, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 9.01(g)(i), or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 9.01(g)(ii) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, within the time period required, without notice or grace period.

If the Servicer obtains knowledge of an Event of Default, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner.

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer (except in the case of clause (j) above, where termination shall be immediate and automatic), may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect. An Event of Default shall entitle the Owner in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer. The Owner shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer in the event of an Event of Default under clause (j) above if a failure of the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.

Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer 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 12.01. Upon written request from any Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Owner any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, all at the Servicer’s sole expense, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Owner to correct any errors or insufficiencies caused by the Servicer to enable the Owner to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

If any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination or resignation (as described in Section 8.04) of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the Servicer shall cooperate with the successor servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Owner and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary to remove such Mortgage Loan(s) from the MERS® System or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.

Section 10.02 Waiver of Defaults.

By a written notice, the Owner may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have 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.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

Section 11.01 Termination.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner may have under other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

Section 11.02 Termination Without Cause.

The Owner may terminate, at its sole option, any rights the Servicer may have hereunder, without cause as provided in this Section 11.02. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer by registered mail as provided in Section 12.05.

The Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as such liquidated damages, upon the transfer of the servicing rights, an amount equal to 2.25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans as of the termination date, paid by the Owner to the Servicer with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans so terminated.

Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that any Owner may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.

SERVICING SYSTEM GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS

Loading/Updating Investor Headers

Bank of America will provide investor header matrix for input on MSP by Servicer. Updates/additions will occur monthly, including new investor header detail for each new deal that is settled.

The Servicer will load investor headers upon receipt or before month end. The following fields will need to be updated on IN03: MS OPT, MS INV CNTRL NO, MS MO DELQ, and MS JUST FL.

The Servicer will update the investor headers on the first business day of the next/following month to ensure that the correct loan accounts will appear on the corresponding 413 file that will represent the new month’s activity.

Loading Account Numbers

Upon receipt of a funding schedule, Bank of America will deliver a cross reference of Servicer-to-Bank of America account numbers to the servicer. The account numbers will be delivered in the xxxx 55 layout for loading in the next Servicer MSP cycle.

The Servicer will load account numbers on the first business day of the month to ensure that the correct Bank of America account numbers will appear on the corresponding 413 file that will represent the new month’s activity.

Automated Monetary Transaction File – 413

Call Fidelity PowerCell and request installation of IP 770

On the first business day of the month, the financial transactions for the LSBO portfolio will transmit from the Servicer MSP system to the Bank of America MSP system.

Monthly Servicer File – Automated

Call Fidelity PowerCell and initiate an SSR for the installation of IP 1804 and the interchange set-up required to host and transmit this file. This enhancement will provide an automated month-end feed from the Servicer to Bank of America for the LSBO portfolio identified by the corresponding investor headers. The feed will include all new loans purchased by Bank of America in the previous month, as well as a maintenance file for all existing loans in the LSBO portfolio

Once installed, populate XX flag on the IN03 screen. This flag will assist with synchronizing the feeds received in the Monthly Servicer File and the corresponding 413 file.

Bank of America will receive and process the electronic file on the first business day of the month for the previous month-end file. Note: This file comes from the servicer automatically with the installation of the IP.

Exhibit D-1

Monthly Servicer File – Manual

For testing purposes, and in the event that the IP is not installed prior to initial conversion, a manual process is in place to provide the Monthly Servicer File data feed for remote MSP clients.

The Servicer will load/update investor header information received from Bank of America.

The Servicer will send an email granting permission to Fidelity to provide the manual feed of accounts in the assigned investor headers identified. The email will contain the MSP client and corresponding investor/categories to be included in the feed.

Bank of America will receive and process the file on the first business day of the month for the previous month-end file.

Note: For licensed MSP clients, the servicer will install and use the existing work-around EZTrieve process. (This will require the installation, testing, and implementation of the EZTrieve until the IP is ready.) The servicer will be required to develop a test file and production files until the IP is available.

Reporting Requirements

Required reports for the LSBO project are as follows:

S214 - Report summarizes paid in full loans made during the reporting period

P139 - Monthly statement of mortgage accounts or a trial balance as of the cutoff date

Scheduled Remittance Reports – Servicers send on a monthly basis. We would like this report by the 5th business day.

Delinquency Report – Report from the servicer to be sent by the 5th business day. If the servicer is a Fidelity client, we would like a P4DL report. Otherwise, a similar report will suffice. LSBO would like this report sent via e-mail or fax.

Note: These S215, S214, and P139 reports will be provided in an electronic format. These reports are automatically generated when the 951/139 cutoff is calendared. The reports are required for the LSBO project; reports in addition to these may be reasonably required in a format mutually agreed by the Owner and the Servicer.
