In the event that the Owner shall object to the Servicer’s recommended course of action, Servicer shall take such action as is required by the Owner, and the Servicer shall have no liability therefor if it is not negligent in performing such action. Further, to the extent the Servicer has provided the Owner with reasonably timely notice, the Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer from and against any penalty, fine or damages that may result from the Owner’s decision to wait for any period of time up to ten (10) Business Days before providing Servicer with direction as to the course of action to be taken as permitted in the second immediately preceding sentence. In addition, except in accordance with the PennyMac Property Preservation Program, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and such Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, and the waiver of such Prepayment Penalty is standard and customary in servicing similar Non-Agency Mortgage Loans (including the waiver of a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of the Mortgage Loan related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default) or (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, (1) the waiver of such prepayment penalty relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (2) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and such Mortgage Loan and (3) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans similar to such Non-Agency Mortgage Loan (including any waiver of a prepayment penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default). In no event will the Servicer waive a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. In servicing and administering the Non-Agency 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 mortgage loans for its own account, where such procedures do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Owner’s reliance on the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall retain adequate personnel to effect such servicing and administration of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans. Servicer shall have no obligation to collect a Prepayment Penalty with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer is provided with such information electronically; provided, however, that the Servicer shall compare the Notice of Inbound Transfer provided by the Owner and any electronic data regarding the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans provided by the previous servicer of such Non-Agency Mortgage Loans and provide the Owner with prompt written notice of any discrepancies with respect to information regarding Prepayment Penalties.

The Owner may sell and transfer, in whole or in part, some or all of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, in connection with a Private Securitization Transaction or a Public Securitization Transaction). Upon such execution, the Servicer shall ▇▇▇▇ its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans by such transferee.

The Servicer shall notify MERS of the ownership interest of Owner in each MOM Loan. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Owner may direct the Servicer to cause any MOM Loan to be deactivated from the MERS System.

The Servicing File maintained by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately marked and identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Non-Agency Mortgage Loan by the Owner. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File maintained by it only in accordance with this Agreement.

The Servicer shall be responsible for the actions of any vendors which the Servicer utilizes to carry out its obligations hereunder. The Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for any fees paid to such vendors by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall maintain adequate capacity to service the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, as well as other mortgage loans that it may service (including mortgage loans held by other entities managed by the PennyMac REIT Manager or any of its Affiliates).

Section 4.02

Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Non-Agency 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 Non-Agency Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as the Servicer shall determine reasonably to be in the best interest of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event that any payment due under any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or any other default continues for a period of ninety (90) days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period (or such other period as is required by law in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located) or earlier as determined by the Servicer, the Servicer is granted authority to effect Foreclosure Commencement in accordance with and subject to Exhibit 10 hereto and Accepted Servicing Practices. In such connection, the Servicer shall, acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, advance on behalf of the Owner such funds as are necessary and proper in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan or that any proposed Servicing Advance with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Owner, which details the reasons for such determination.

The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that it shall take and initiate any legal actions with respect to any with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loans and related REO Properties, including, without limitation, any foreclosure actions, acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure, and any collection actions with respect to such Non-Agency Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on behalf of the Owner, but only in the name of the Servicer or its nominee and without reference to the Owner. Except as otherwise required by law or with the consent of the Owner, under no circumstances shall any such action be taken in the name of, or with any reference to, the Owner. The Servicer shall provide prior written notice to the Owner, if the Servicer is required by applicable law to take any legal actions with respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties in the name of, or with reference to, the Owner.

Section 4.03

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Payment Clearing Account.

Continuously from the related Inbound Transfer Date until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full (unless otherwise provided herein), the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments, to the extent applicable, and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans and each related 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, PMI Policy or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if in its reasonable judgment it believes that it will be unable to enforce the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which payment is required. Further, the Servicer shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, flood insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Payment Clearing Account into which it shall deposit on a daily basis all payments received in respect of mortgage loans serviced by the Servicer (whether or not serviced pursuant to this Agreement). Not later than the second Business Day following the receipt of a payment in respect of a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall withdraw the amount of such payment from the Payment Clearing Account and shall immediately deposit (1) in the Custodial Account, the portion of such payment required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.04, and (2) in the Escrow Account, the portion of such payment required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.06.

Section 4.04

Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account.

The Servicer shall establish one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts titled in the name of “PNMAC Loan Svc LLC ITF [description of applicable owners or investors]” or titled in another reasonable manner indicating that such account is held in a custodial capacity. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Owner as a Special Deposit Account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted by the FDIC and any amounts therein may be invested in Eligible Investments. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer (provided the Servicer qualifies as a Qualified Depository). A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds in the Custodial Account separate and apart from the Servicer’s own funds and general assets.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account and retain therein the following collections received by the Servicer, together with any payments made by the Servicer subsequent to the Inbound Transfer Date pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) all payments on account of principal on such Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the related Mortgage adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(iii) all related Liquidation Proceeds and any amount received with respect to the related REO Property;

(iv) all related 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 related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14), and Section 4.11;

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any related Mortgaged Property that are not applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14;

(vi) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.15 or 4.19;

(vii) any Prepayment Penalties received with respect to any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan; and

(viii) 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. Such deposit shall be made from Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor.

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, Ancillary Income and Prepayment Penalties need not be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid by the depository institution on funds deposited in the Custodial Account and relating to any Distressed Whole Loan shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer may retain any such interest.

Section 4.05

Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

Subject to Section 5.01, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Owner (or as otherwise directed by the Owner in writing) in the amounts and in the manner provided in Section 5.01;

(ii) to fund any Liquidity Reserve Account or any Litigation Reserve Account as and to the extent required by Section 4.17;

(iii) following the liquidation of a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, to reimburse itself for (a) any unpaid Servicing Advances to the extent recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the related Non-Agency Mortgage Loan plus (b) related unreimbursed Nonrecoverable Advances made by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement;

(iv) to invest funds in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 4.09;

(v) to withdraw funds deposited in the Custodial Account in error;

(vi) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account and relating to any Distressed Whole Loan (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date); and

(vii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of the Servicing Agreement.

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 pursuant to subclause (iii) above.

Section 4.06

Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account.

The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts titled in the name of “PNMAC Loan Svc LLC ttee and/or bailee for [description of applicable owners or investors]” or titled in another reasonable manner indicating that such account is held in a custodial capacity. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository as a Special Deposit Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Accounts may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Servicer (provided the Servicer qualifies as a Qualified Depository). A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Owner on or prior to the execution of this Agreement. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds in any Escrow Account separate and apart from the Servicer’s own funds and general assets.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts and retain therein the following collections received by the Servicer:

(i) all related Escrow Payments collected on account of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and

(ii) all amounts representing related Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any related Mortgaged Property.

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. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution and relating to any Distressed Whole Loan shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall be responsible to pay from its own funds 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.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only:

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

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

(iii) to refund to any related Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or applicable federal or state law or judicial or administrative ruling;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note or this Agreement;

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

(vi) to pay the Servicer, or any Mortgagors to the extent required by law, any interest due on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account and relating to any Distressed Whole Loan or to pay the Owner, or any Mortgagors to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account and relating to any Mortgage Loan other than a Distressed Whole Loan;

(vii) to reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Escrow Account in error; and

(viii) 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 Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan requiring Escrow Payments to be made by the related Mortgagor, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums, flood insurance, 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 and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the related 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 related Mortgage.

To the extent that any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is a First Lien Mortgage Loan that does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the related Mortgagor when due. With respect to each Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan requiring Escrow Payments to be made by the related Mortgagor, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments within the time period required to avoid penalties and interest and avoid the loss of the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure from a tax or other lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Servicer reasonably determines that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, Servicer shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance. Solely with respect to Non-Agency Mortgage Loans that require Escrow Payments, if Servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance with respect to any payment prior to the date on which late payment penalties or costs related to protecting the lien accrue, the Servicer shall pay any such penalties or costs which accrued.

Section 4.09

Protection of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account, the Escrow Account, any Liquidity Reserve Account or any Litigation Reserve Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining consent of the Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing of any such transfer fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such transfer.

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account, the Escrow Account, any Liquidity Reserve Account or any Litigation Reserve Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than one day prior to the Remittance Date in each month; provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account, the Escrow Account, any Liquidity Reserve Account or any Litigation Reserve Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on the related Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Owner. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, the Escrow Account, any Liquidity Reserve Account or any Litigation Reserve Account, by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized with no right to reimbursement.

Section 4.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance (with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located) such that all buildings upon the related Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer acceptable under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Guides against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are required to be insured pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae Guides, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the related Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer (or, in the case of any related REO Property, the fair market value of such REO Property).

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, if required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended, each such Mortgage Loan is, and shall continue to be, covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Guides in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a related REO Property, the fair market value of such REO Property), (ii) maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended (regardless of whether the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program), or (iii) the full replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property. If a related 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 National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if such 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 such Mortgagor’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer shall have no liability to Owner or any third party for any penalties or fines imposed based on Servicer’s failure to timely notify the Director of FEMA and the flood insurance provider related to a servicing transfer if Servicer is not provided with flood insurance information; provided that, the Servicer shall have promptly provided Owner with notice of such missing flood insurance information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall maintain a blanket insurance policy in sufficient amounts to cover any uninsured loss due to any gap in Mortgagor-provided coverage.

If a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Servicer shall verify that the coverage required of the homeowners’ association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae requirements, and secure from the homeowners’ 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 related Mortgaged Property as security.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

In the event that the Owner or the Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan 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 in accordance with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Guides make commercially reasonable efforts to communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor’s attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer and its successors and assigns as a mortgagee and loss payee and shall be endorsed with non contributory standard or New York mortgagee clauses which shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

In all such cases, 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 currently reflect a General Policy Rating of A:VI or better under Best’s Key Rating Guides, are acceptable under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae Guides 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 as required pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Guides, 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 of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date; provided, however, that in the event that no such notice is furnished by the Servicer, the Servicer shall ensure that replacement insurance policies are in place in the required coverages and the Servicer shall be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.

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 Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from flood, fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Non-Agency 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. The Servicer may seek reimbursement from the Owner for the costs and premiums associated with obtaining and maintaining any such blanket policy.

Section 4.12

Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, 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 failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this 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. Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall comply with the applicable requirements from time to time of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. Upon request, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and insurer that such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Owner.

Section 4.13

Inspections.

The Servicer shall order an inspection of the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan when such Mortgage Loan becomes 45 days delinquent and every 30 days thereafter so long as such Mortgage Loan remains delinquent to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved, provided that the Servicer shall be required to take such action only if it determines that the proceeds to the Owner (after giving effect to the recovery of the Servicer’s out-of-pocket expenses) from payment on, or disposition of, the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property would be increased as a result of the taking of such action. The Servicer shall document on its servicing system each such inspection. The costs of such inspections shall be treated as Servicing Advances for which the Servicer shall be entitled to full reimbursement for in accordance with Section 4.05(iv).

Section 4.14

Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, 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 and the terms of this Agreement. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(i) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion in all material respects of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii) 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;

(iii) the Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(iv) 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

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan 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 its designee, which may include Servicer on behalf of the Owner, or in the event the Servicer 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(s) as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by Servicer from an 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. Where title is acquired by the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Owner shall pay to the Servicer a Deed in Lieu Fee.

Upon approval by Owner, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan for the Owner either for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale or its rental. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as such REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell or rent the same on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall provide the Owner on a monthly basis with a report on the status of each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an 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 National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required in Section 4.10 hereof, provided that the Servicer shall be required to maintain such insurance only if it determines that the proceeds to the Owner (after giving effect to the recovery of the Servicer’s out-of-pocket expenses) from payment on, or disposition of, the related REO Property would be increased as a result of the maintenance of such insurance. Such costs to maintain appropriate insurance coverage shall be treated as Servicing Advances for which the Servicer shall be entitled to full reimbursement in accordance with Section 4.05(iv). In addition, for the sale of each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, Owner shall pay to Servicer the Liquidation Fee.

The disposition of each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan 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 in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The proceeds of sale of such REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement but not later than the second Business Day following receipt thereof. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees made pursuant to this Section.

With respect to each REO Property related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in each Custodial Account all revenues received by Servicer (such revenues being those received by Servicer within two Business Days prior to actual deposit into the Escrow Account) with respect to the conservation and disposition of the related REO Property. Any advances made to maintain appropriate insurance coverage shall be treated as Servicing Advances for which the Servicer shall be entitled to full reimbursement in accordance with Section 4.05(iv).

With respect to all REO Properties managed by the Servicer that are subject to rental agreements, the Servicer shall be entitled to collect on a monthly basis any applicable REO Property Rental Fees, REO Property Management Fees and related fees as set forth on Exhibit 9, net of Owner’s monthly cost to directly employ and compensate any personnel that help facilitate the Servicer’s management of such REO Properties.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on a monthly basis the Servicer’s standard REO report on REO Property then managed by the Servicer with respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans.

Section 4.16

Costs and Expenses.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, Owner will be responsible for all losses including but not limited to unrecoverable interest, “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses from either the Mortgagor or Owner that are normal and customary that occur as the result of normal business activity associated with owning the loans.

Section 4.17

Liquidity and Litigation Reserves.

(a) Liquidity Reserve. The Servicer, in its discretion, may establish a liquidity reserve (the “Liquidity Reserve”) from which to fund Servicing Advances (including litigation costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)), P&I Advances and Interest Shortfall with respect to the Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer elects to establish a Liquidity Reserve it shall establish a Liquidity Reserve Account at a Qualified Depository. The Liquidity Reserve Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Owner and shall be established and maintained for the sole purpose of holding and distributing the Liquidity Reserve funds. The Servicer may fund the Liquidity Reserve with such portion of distributions on the Mortgage Loans (but such portion shall nonetheless be deemed to have been distributed to Owner) as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, or otherwise request Owner to fund such Liquidity Reserve, in which case Owner shall fund such Liquidity Reserve as so requested. At the termination of this Agreement, all remaining funds held in the Liquidity Reserve shall be distributed to the Owner. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments, shall not be used to pay costs or expenses other than Servicing Advances (including litigation costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)), P&I Advances and Interest Shortfall, and shall be used to pay such amounts only in any month in which the distributions on the Mortgage Loans received during that month are insufficient to provide sufficient cash to pay all such amounts due and payable during that month. No funds from any other source (other than interest or earnings on the funds held in the Liquidity Reserve Account) shall be commingled in the Liquidity Reserve Account. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account (including interest and earnings thereon) shall be used and may be withdrawn and disbursed only in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The Servicer shall be authorized and directed to withdraw funds from the Liquidity Reserve Account only to make disbursements in accordance with this Agreement and not for any other purpose. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.17(a) to the contrary, it is expressly understood that the Servicer’s failure to establish or require the Owner to establish or fund a Liquidity Reserve shall not preclude the Servicer from seeking reimbursement from the Owner for Servicing Advances (including litigation costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)), P&I Advances and Interest Shortfall, all of which remain the obligations of the Owner.

(b) Litigation Reserve. Without prejudice to its rights under Section 4.17(a), the Servicer, in its discretion, may establish a litigation reserve (the “Litigation Reserve”) from which to fund litigation costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that constitute Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans. If the Servicer elects to establish a Litigation Reserve it shall establish a Litigation Reserve Account at a Qualified Depository. The Litigation Reserve Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Owner and shall be established and maintained for the sole purpose of holding and distributing the Litigation Reserve funds. The Servicer may fund the Litigation Reserve with such portion of distributions on the Mortgage Loans (but such portion shall nonetheless be deemed to have been distributed to Owner) as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, or otherwise request Owner to fund such Litigation Reserve, in which case Owner shall fund such Liquidity Reserve as so requested. At the termination of this Agreement, all remaining funds held in the Litigation Reserve shall be distributed to the Owner. Amounts on deposit in the Litigation Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments, shall not be used to pay costs or expenses other than litigation costs and expenses that constitute Servicing Advances, and shall be used to pay such litigation costs and expenses only in any month in which distributions on the Mortgage Loans received during that month are insufficient to provide sufficient cash to pay all Servicing Advances due and payable (without prepayment) during that month with respect to the Mortgage Loans. No funds from any other source (other than interest or earnings on the funds held in the Litigation Reserve Account) shall be commingled in the Litigation Reserve Account. Amounts on deposit in the Litigation Reserve Account (including interest and earnings thereon) shall be used and may be withdrawn and disbursed only in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The Servicer shall be authorized and directed to withdraw funds from the Litigation Reserve Account only to make disbursements in accordance with this Agreement and not for any other purpose.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, references under this Section 4.17 to “Mortgage Loans” shall be deemed to include both Agency Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that to the extent there is any conflict between the actions permitted to be taken by the Servicer under this Section 4.17 and the actions permitted to be taken by the Servicer pursuant to the requirements of the applicable Guide, the requirements of the applicable Guide shall control.

Section 4.18

Transfers of Mortgaged Properties.

The Servicer shall enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note under any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan and deny assumption by the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the related Mortgagor remains liable on such Mortgage and Mortgage Note. When the related 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.

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 related 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 guarantee 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, such 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 nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 4.18, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the insurer under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner, or its designee, the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

To the extent that any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices and the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states where the related Mortgaged Properties are located including but not limited to Servicer conducting a review of the credit and financial capacity of the individual receiving the property, and may approve the assumption if it believes the recipient is capable of assuming the mortgage obligations. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not satisfy the relevant underwriting criteria and the transfer of ownership actually occurs, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loan.

The Servicer shall be required to take any action otherwise required by this Section 4.18 only if it determines that the proceeds to the Owner (after giving effect to the recovery of the Servicer’s out-of-pocket expenses) from payment on, or disposition of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property would be increased as a result of the taking of such action.

Section 4.19

Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Non-Agency 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 from the Owner in accordance with this Section 4.19. The Servicer shall obtain discharge of the related Mortgage Loan as of record within any related time limit required by applicable law (unless prevented from complying as a result of the failure of the local recording office to comply with its obligations on a timely basis).

In connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall be entitled to a reconveyance fee. Such reconveyance fee shall only be reimbursable to the Servicer by the Owner to the extent the reconveyance fee is uncollectible from the related Mortgagor based on the terms of the security instrument or in the Servicer’s reasonable opinion that such fee is not allowable by statute.

Upon receipt of such request, the Owner or its designee shall within five (5) Business Days release or cause to be released the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Servicer and Servicer shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. If the Owner or its designee or the Custodian does not release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt of request to do so, Servicer may retain a third party to complete the reconveyance and charge the Owner the actual cost of services provided by such third party. Except as set forth in this paragraph, Servicer shall have no liability for third party delays that may result in assessed penalties.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage securing a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (or such lesser amount in connection with a discounted payoff accepted by the Servicer with respect to a defaulted Mortgage Loan) or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer shall deposit the shortfall amount of the paid indebtedness in the Custodial Account (unless such shortfall is $500 or less, in which case no deposit shall be required) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Owner.

The Servicer shall cause the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy required under Section 4.12 to insure the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 4.20

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, another Index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate because the original Index is no longer available, the same Index will be used with respect to each Mortgage Note which requires a new Index to be selected provided that such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related 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 and the Monthly Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Owner such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage related to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused the Owner thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.21

Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

Except in connection with Accepted Servicing Practices for defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall not be responsible for the preparation or recording of the Assignments of Mortgage relating to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans to the Owner, or any other party; provided, however, that in the event the Servicer agrees (which agreement shall be in Servicer’s sole discretion) to record any mortgage assignment, any expense, including the fees of third party service providers, incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and recordation of Assignments of Mortgage shall be reimbursable by the Owner, or, if not reimbursed by the Owner, advanced or paid as a Servicing Advance.

Section 4.22

[Reserved].

Section 4.23

Credit Reporting.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g. favorable and unfavorable) on the Mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (or their respective successors) on a monthly basis and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

Section 4.24

Superior Liens.

With respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, if the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the superior lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the superior mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the related Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Owner, and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to any requirements applicable to real estate mortgage investment conduits pursuant to the Code. The Servicer shall make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary to cure such default or reinstate such superior lien if the Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interests of the Owner and would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall not make such a Servicing Advance except to the extent that it determines that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

If a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is identified on the Notice of Inbound Transfer as a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that the following requirements are met:

1. the resulting CLTV of such Second Lien is no higher than its CLTV prior to such refinancing; and

2. the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable-rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% (or such higher rate that the Servicer determines to be in the Owner’s best interest) higher than the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

3. the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to the possibility of negative amortization.

Section 4.25

Reserved.

Section 4.26

Tax and Flood Service Contracts.

The Servicer, at the Owner’s expense, shall cause each Non-Agency Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan and is transferred to the Servicer for servicing to be covered (to the extent not already covered) by a Tax Service Contract and/or Flood Service Contract, by (a) a Tax Service Contract and/or (b) a Flood Zone Service Contract. If any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is missing a required Tax Service Contract or if any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is missing a required Flood Zone Service Contract at the time of the Inbound Transfer Date, Servicer shall place such Tax Service Contract or Flood Zone Service Contract, as applicable, and shall be entitled to the fee associated with acquiring such contracts as set forth in Exhibit 9.

Section 4.27

Maintenance of PMI Policies and LPMI Policies; Collections Thereunder.

The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect, a PMI Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Non-Agency Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required, provided that the Servicer’s obligations to pay premiums in respect of any such Policy shall terminate if the Servicer determines that the related insurer is unwilling or unable to make all payments due under such policy. Such coverage shall be maintained until the LTV Ratio or CLTV, as applicable, of the related Non-Agency Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ would no longer require such insurance. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any PMI Policy in effect on the related Inbound Transfer Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan unless a replacement PMI Policy or LPMI Policy for such cancelled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage 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 4.18 with respect to a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, 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 policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer with respect to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, 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 in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Non-Agency 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 related Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.28

Reliability of Information/Exceptional Expenses.

The Servicer may rely on all data and materials relating to the Non-Agency Mortgage Loans supplied to it by the Owner or the Owner’s designee(s) and the authenticity and accuracy of such data and materials, including any signatures contained therein. The Servicer shall not be obligated to conduct an independent investigation of any data materials or audit of any data, materials or Mortgage File, and may rely on the authenticity and accuracy of such data and materials as provided, including any signatures contained therein and shall not be held accountable for data integrity, missing information or missing documents that prevent the boarding of a Non-Agency Mortgage Loan to the Servicer’s mortgage loan administration system. The Servicer shall deliver notification to the Owner of any material data deficiencies discovered by the Servicer. If such error was identified prior to the Inbound Transfer Date, the Owner shall have the ability to correct such errors or provide missing data at no additional cost to Servicer. Should the Owner decline to provide such data corrections or provide such missing data, Servicer shall be entitled to charge the Owner a manual data backfill fee as set forth on Exhibit 9. If such error was identified after the Inbound Transfer Date and such error was not the result of Servicer’s negligence, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with a written cost estimate to correct such errors, and upon the Owner’s approval, which approval should not be unreasonably withheld, the Owner shall reimburse the Servicer for all documented costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer, including but not limited to, costs and expenses resulting from the Owner’s actions, instructions or any failure by the Owner to provide the Servicer complete, accurate and timely Mortgage Loan information.

The Owner shall be responsible for any losses including but not limited to tax penalties (including any loss of discount for which any related Mortgagor or any third party for the benefit of the related Mortgagor has a legal claim) for the current tax due period or for any tax period that ends no more than twelve (12) months earlier than the date of the last paid installment of the Non-Agency Mortgage Loan, as well as for its advances to pay the delinquent taxes themselves in connection with any Non-Agency Mortgage Loan for which the Owner failed to pay taxes as required by this Section 4.29 as the result of an action or inaction of a previous servicer.

It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner to the utilization of any Subservicer, including an Affiliate acting as a Subservicer; provided, however, that the Servicer delivers any notices or obtains any consents or approvals otherwise required by the applicable Guide. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Owner any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.02 and any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.03.

The Servicing Fee and Other Fees in respect of Mortgage Loans held through wholly owned subsidiaries of the Owner may, at the option of the Owner, be paid directly by the Owner or by the subsidiary holding the related Mortgage Loan.

SERVICING COMPENSATION

Section 7.01

Servicing Compensation.

As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans, the Owner shall pay the Servicer the applicable Servicing Fee and Other Fees the Servicer is entitled to each month. The obligation of the Owner to pay the Servicing Fee and Other Fees with regard to the Mortgage Loans shall be irrespective of Monthly Payments collected by the Servicer on the Mortgage Loans (but this shall not be construed to limit the effect of any provision hereof, including Exhibit 9, for the calculation of any fee by reference to one or more specified amounts collected on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not be entitled to collect more than one of any of the following Other Fees within any eighteen (18) month period: Liquidation Fee, Reperformance Fee and Modification Fee; provided, however, that in the event the Servicer would otherwise be entitled to collect more than one of such Other Fees during any eighteen (18) month period, the Servicer shall be entitled to collect the highest of such Other Fees, net of any other such Other Fees paid during the applicable eighteen (18) month period.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner on the tenth (10th) calendar day of each month or, if the 10th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, an invoice setting forth the Servicing Fees and Other Fees, including accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and Other Fees, with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer during the preceding calendar month, and the Owner shall pay such invoice via wire transfer (in accordance with written instructions to be provided by the Servicer) no later than the last day of the calendar month in which such invoice was delivered. With respect to amounts due to the Servicer that remain unpaid after the Remittance Date pursuant to this Section, interest shall accrue at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall accrue from and including the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due to and including the Business Day when such payment is made and shall be payable on the date when such payment is so made. The Servicer shall be entitled to deduct such unpaid amounts due to Servicer on the Remittance Date following the Remittance Date that such amounts were due if Owner has not already made payment.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Servicer.

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.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this section related to Ancillary Income, the Servicer shall not collect from the Mortgagor, pass through as an advance or as a liquidation expense any charges other than bona fide fees, which fees must be in compliance with local law. Servicer cannot add on a processing, or review fee or any additional fee, ▇▇▇▇ up or otherwise directly make a profit on or from services or activities rendered by a third party or affiliate (examples include but not limited to: letters and notices, force placed insurance, BPOs, appraisals, inspections, property preservation costs). The Servicer may collect any third party fees which are charged in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In no event shall Servicer retain the Prepayment Penalties.

In the event of a dispute arising from any act or omission by the Servicer or the Owner hereunder during the course of this Agreement, the Servicer and the Owner shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in good faith to resolve such dispute within a time period that is reasonable under the circumstances surrounding the dispute. Except in the case of a monetary error, the Owner and the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in good faith to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of a formal notice from either party. In the case of a monetary error, the party holding the amounts due the other party shall use reasonable efforts to submit the amount in error within ten (10) Business Days following the discovery of the error. With respect to amounts due a party after the tenth (10th) Business Day following the discovery of the error, interest shall be accrue on such late payment at an annual rate equal to the federal funds rate as is publicly announced from time to time, plus three hundred basis points (3.00%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall accrue from and including the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due to and including the Business Day when such late payment is made and shall be payable on the date when such late payment is so made.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the written request (a “Fee Negotiation Request”) of the Owner or the Servicer following a determination by the Owner or the Servicer that the rates of compensation payable to the Servicer hereunder differ materially from market rates of compensation for services comparable to those provided hereunder, which request includes a proposal for revised rates of compensation hereunder, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions of this Agreement relating to the compensation of the Servicer in order to cause such compensation to be materially consistent with market rates of compensation for services comparable to those provided hereunder (a “Fee Amendment”); provided, however, that no such request shall be made until the second anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, after which time each party may make such request (i) once with respect to fees to be paid during the remainder of the Initial Term, which request shall be made prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, and (ii) once with respect to fees to be paid during any Automatic Renewal Term, which request shall be made at least 210 days prior to the start of such Automatic Renewal Term. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms of a Fee Amendment within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of the relevant Fee Negotiation Request, then the terms of such Fee Amendment shall be determined by final and binding arbitration as described below.

All disputes, differences and controversies of the Owner or the Servicer relating to a Fee Amendment (individually, a “Dispute” and, collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, subject to the following provisions:

(a) Following the delivery of a written demand for arbitration by either the Owner or the Servicer, each party shall choose one (1) arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such written demand and the two chosen arbitrators shall mutually, within ten (10) Business Days after selection select a third (3rd) arbitrator (each, an “Arbitrator” and together, the “Arbitrators”), each of whom shall be a retired judge selected from a roster of arbitrators provided by the AAA. If the third (3rd) Arbitrator is not selected within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the written demand for arbitration (or such other time period as the Owner and the Servicer may agree), the Owner and the Servicer shall promptly request that the commercial panel of the AAA select an independent Arbitrator meeting such criteria.

(b) The rules of arbitration shall be the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules to the contrary, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Owner and the Servicer, the sole discovery available to each party shall be its right to conduct up to two (2) non-expert depositions of no more than three (3) hours of testimony each.

(c) The Arbitrators shall render a decision by majority decision within three (3) months after the date of appointment, unless the Owner and the Servicer agree to extend such time. The decision shall be final and binding upon the Owner and the Servicer; provided, however, that such decision shall not restrict either the Owner or the Servicer from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) Each party shall pay its own expenses in connection with the resolution of Disputes, including attorneys’ fees, unless determined otherwise by the Arbitrator.

(e) The Owner and the Servicer agree that the existence, conduct and content of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be kept confidential and neither the Owner nor the Servicer shall disclose to any Person any information about such arbitration, except in connection with such arbitration or as may be required by law or by any regulatory authority (or any exchange on which such party’s securities are listed) or for financial reporting purposes in such party’s financial statements.

(v) in whole, at the election of the Owner, if the Servicer in its capacity as “Servicer” under the MSR Recapture Agreement fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement on the part of the Servicer set forth in the MSR Recapture Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Servicer by the “MSR Owner” under the MSR Recapture Agreement; provided, however, that, with respect to any such failure that is susceptible to cure but not curable within such 30-day period, the Servicer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as the Servicer has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period, the Servicer is diligently pursuing a full cure and the Servicer has provided evidence of such curability and such diligent pursuit that is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner; and

(vi) in whole, at the election of the Servicer, if the “MSR Owner” under the MSR Recapture Agreement fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement on the part of such “MSR Owner” set forth in the MSR Recapture Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to such “MSR Owner” by the Servicer in its capacity as “Servicer” under the MSR Recapture Agreement; provided, however, that, with respect to any such failure that is susceptible to cure but not curable within such 30-day period, such “MSR Owner” shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as such “MSR Owner” has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period, such “MSR Owner” is diligently pursuing a full cure and such “MSR Owner” has provided evidence of such curability and such diligent pursuit that is reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer.

(b) In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(a), the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires notice or knowledge of such termination until the Outbound Transfer Date, 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. Following any such termination, the Owner shall act diligently to appoint a successor servicer. No termination pursuant to Section 8.01(a) shall become effective until a successor servicer is appointed by the Owner. No termination pursuant to Section 8.01(a) shall limit any indemnification obligations of the Servicer, which obligations shall survive such termination.

Section 8.02

Outbound Transfer of Servicing.

On each Outbound Transfer Date or upon any termination of the Servicer as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 or resignation of the Servicer permitted under Section 9.03, the Owner or a successor servicer appointed by the Owner, shall assume all servicing responsibilities related to, and the Servicer shall cease all servicing responsibilities related to the Mortgage Loans.

Owner shall provide the Servicer not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the Outbound Transfer Date. Any Mortgage Loan service released by the Servicer shall be released on actual balances as of the Outbound Transfer Date. Upon receipt of such notification from Owner the Servicer shall, at its sole cost and expense, take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to the successor servicer, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Notice to Mortgagors. The Servicer shall mail to the Mortgagor of each related Mortgage Loan a letter advising such Mortgagor of the transfer of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner, or its designee, in accordance with RESPA; provided, however, such letters shall be in the form mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the Servicer prior to a pending transfer.

(b) Mortgage Loans in Foreclosure. The servicing with respect to Mortgage Loans in foreclosure on or before the related Outbound Transfer Date shall not be transferred from the Servicer to the Owner or the successor servicer, as the case may be, and such Mortgage Loans shall continue to be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. However, if the Owner so elects, the Owner may waive the provisions of this paragraph (a) and accept transfer of servicing of such Mortgage Loans and all amounts received by the Servicer thereunder.

(c) Servicing Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Nonrecoverable Advances”, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any other advances made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan on the related Outbound Transfer Date, but only if the successor servicer after the related Outbound Transfer Date is not the Servicer or an Affiliate. In addition, the Owner shall cause the Servicer to be reimbursed for any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, unpaid Ancillary Income, Other Fees and for any trailing expenses representing Servicing Advances for which invoices are received by the Servicer after the Outbound Transfer Date. The Owner shall cause the Servicer to be reimbursed for such trailing expenses within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such invoice.

Anything to the contrary in this Section 8.02(c) notwithstanding, in the event that Servicer is terminated for cause as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the payments required in this Section 8.02(c) shall be made in the amounts and at the times otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(d) Notice to Taxing Authorities and Insurance Companies. The Servicer shall transmit to the applicable taxing authorities and insurance companies (including primary mortgage insurance policy insurers, if applicable) and/or agents, notification of the transfer of the servicing to the Owner, or its designee, and instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as the case may be, to the Owner from and after the related Outbound Transfer Date.

(f) Escrow Payments. The Servicer shall provide the Owner, or its designee, with immediately available funds by wire transfer in the amount of the net Escrow Payments and suspense balances and all loss draft balances associated with the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall also provide the Owner with an accounting statement of Escrow Payments and suspense balances and loss draft balances sufficient to enable the Owner to reconcile the amount of such payment with the accounts of the Mortgage Loans. Additionally, the Servicer shall wire transfer to the Owner the amount of any agency, trustee or prepaid Mortgage Loan payments and all other similar amounts held by the Servicer.

(g) Payoffs and Assumptions. The Servicer shall provide to the Owner, or its designee, copies of all assumption and payoff statements generated by the Servicer on the related Mortgage Loans from the related Cut-off Date to the related Outbound Transfer Date.

(h) Mortgage Payments Received Prior to the Related Outbound Transfer Date. Prior to the related Outbound Transfer Date all payments received by the Servicer on each related Mortgage Loan shall be properly applied to the account of the particular Mortgagor.

(i) Mortgage Payments Received After Outbound Transfer Date. The amount of any related Monthly Payments received by the Servicer after the related Outbound Transfer Date shall be forwarded to the Owner or its designee within two (2) Business Days after the date of receipt. The Servicer shall notify the Owner or its designee of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement shall be satisfied if the Servicer forwards with its payment sufficient information to permit appropriate processing of the payment by the Owner or its designee. The Servicer shall assume full responsibility for the necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments received by the Servicer after the related Outbound Transfer Date with respect to related Mortgage Loans then in foreclosure or bankruptcy; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments shall include, but not be limited to, endorsement of a Monthly Payment to the Owner with the particulars of the payment such as the account number, dollar amount, date received and any special Mortgagor application instructions and the Servicer shall comply with the foregoing requirements with respect to all Monthly Payments received by it.

(j) Misapplied Payments. Misapplied payments shall be processed as follows:

(i) All parties shall cooperate in correcting misapplication errors;

(ii) The party receiving notice of a misapplied payment occurring prior to the related Outbound Transfer Date and discovered after the related Outbound Transfer Date shall immediately notify the other party;

(iii) If a misapplied payment which occurred prior to the related Outbound Transfer Date cannot be identified and said misapplied payment has resulted in a shortage in a Custodial Account or Escrow Account, and such misapplied payment was the direct result of the Servicer’s error, the Servicer shall be liable for the amount of such shortage. In such case, the Servicer shall reimburse the Owner for the amount of such shortage within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor from the Owner;

(iv) If a misapplied payment which occurred prior to the related Outbound Transfer Date has created an improper Purchase Price as the result of an inaccurate outstanding principal balance and such misapplied payment was the direct result of the Servicer’s error, a check shall be issued to the party shorted by the improper payment application within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by the other party; and

(v) Any check issued under the provisions of this Section 8.02(j) shall be accompanied by a statement indicating the Owner Mortgage Loan identification number and an explanation of the allocation of any such payments.

(k) Books and Records. The Servicer shall cause the books, records and accounts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans to be in accordance with all Accepted Servicing Practices on the related Outbound Transfer Date.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer shall comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement to effect a complete transfer of the servicing with respect to the related Mortgage Loans on the related Outbound Transfer Date. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the related Mortgage Loans on the related Outbound Transfer Date, except that Articles VI, VIII, IX, and XII, and Sections 13.14, 13.15, 13.16, 13.17 and 13.18 shall survive such termination.

Indemnification.

(a) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner and any successor servicer harmless from any liability, claim, loss or damage (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal fees, judgments or expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) to the Owner directly or indirectly resulting from the Servicer’s failure:

(i) to observe and perform any or all of the Servicer’s duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement; or

(ii) to comply with all applicable requirements with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans as set forth herein.

The Servicer immediately shall notify the Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), “Owner” shall mean the Person then acting as the Owner under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Owners” under this Agreement.

(b) The Owner agrees to indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless from any liability, claim, loss or damage (including without limitation, any reasonable legal fees, judgments or expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) to the Servicer (a) directly or indirectly resulting from the Owner’s failure to observe and perform any or all of the Owner’s duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement or (b) directly resulting from the Servicer taking any legal actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties in the name of the Servicer and without reference to the Owner, or (c) any act or omission on the part of any prior servicer or (d) directly resulting from any third party act or omission which occurred in connection with the origination, processing, funding or servicing of a mortgage loan (unless such third party was hired by Servicer); but, in each case set forth in clauses (a) - (d) above, only to the extent such loss does not result from the Servicer’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or failure of the Servicer (i) to observe and perform any or all of Servicer’s duties, obligations, covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement; or (ii) to comply with all applicable requirements with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans as set forth herein.

(c) If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities uncured by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other.

(d) The indemnifications provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of Servicing Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Section 9.02

Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, its own grossly negligent actions, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Owner of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.

Section 9.03

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, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph or Section 6.09) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Owner.

The Servicer may, without the consent of the Owner, retain third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions; provided, however, that the retention of such contractors by Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

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 8.02.

Section 9.04

Assignment by Owner.

The Owner shall have the right, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, and designate any Person to exercise all or any of the rights of the Owner hereunder.

Section 9.05

Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of the state of its filing except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation 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 9.06

Additional Activities of the Servicer.

Subject to the restrictions set forth in the MBS Agreement, the Servicer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to engage in any business or transaction of any kind or nature, including the issuance of mortgage-backed securities and performing monitoring, administrative or servicing activities of any kind for the benefit of any other Person, including (i) acting as servicer or subservicer of residential mortgage loans for government-sponsored entities and other government-related entities under arrangements not governed by this Agreement and (ii) acting as a servicer or subservicer for distressed residential mortgage loans, and otherwise conducting special servicing activities relating to residential mortgage loans or real estate acquired in respect thereof, for itself or other Persons.

DEFAULT

Section11.01

Events of Default.

(a) The following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement on the part of the Servicer:

(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner (or as otherwise directed by the Owner) any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the date upon which notice of such failure is given to the Servicer, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

(ii) the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen (15) in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy under this Agreement) after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Servicer by the Owner; provided, however, that, with respect to any such failure that is susceptible to cure but not curable within such 30-day or 15-day period, the Servicer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as the Servicer has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period, the Servicer is diligently pursuing a full cure and the Servicer has provided evidence of such curability and such diligent pursuit that is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner; or

(iii) any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Servicer by the Owner; provided, however, that, with respect to any such breach that is susceptible to cure but not curable within such 30-day period, the Servicer shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as the Servicer has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period, the Servicer is diligently pursuing a full cure and the Servicer has provided evidence of such curability and such diligent pursuit that is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner; or

(iv) 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, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, 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

(v) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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

(vi) 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 or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vii) the Servicer fails to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Properties are located for more than ninety (90) days after receiving notice from any Person thereof, provided that such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if, prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, that Servicer transfers the affected Mortgaged Properties to one or more Subservicers that satisfy the licensing requirements for the jurisdiction where such Mortgaged Properties are located;

(viii) without the prior consent of the Owner or as expressly permitted or required by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer attempts to assign this Agreement or its right to servicing compensation hereunder, or to delegate its duties hereunder, in each case whether in whole or in part, or the Servicer sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property or assets; or

(ix) the Servicer or any Subservicer fails to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Section 4.02, Section 4.03 or Section 4.06 and such failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after receipt by the Servicer and (if applicable) such Subservicer of written notice of such failure from the Owner.

In each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatsoever 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, may terminate without compensation all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

(b) In case one or more Events of Default by Servicer occur and shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to Servicer shall be entitled, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relieve and specific performance, to terminate all the rights and obligations of Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, by notice in writing to the Servicer and without payment of any Service Release Fees or other compensation; provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Servicing Fees, Servicing Advances or otherwise and such amounts shall be due and payable at the times and in the manner as if the Servicer were not terminated. 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 8.02. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files to the extent initially provided to the Servicer, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer’s sole expense or as otherwise provided under Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer agrees to 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.

Section 11.02

Waiver of Defaults.

The Owner may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

RECONSTITUTIONS

Section 12.01

Cooperation of Servicer with a Reconstitution.

(a) The Servicer and the Owner agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, on one or more dates (each a “Reconstitution Date”), at the Owner’s sole option, the Owner may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

(i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac in one or more Whole Loan Transfers;

(ii) one or more other third-party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers;

(iii) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Private Securitization Transactions; or

(iv) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Public Securitization Transactions.

(b) With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer, Private Securitization Transaction or Public Securitization Transaction, as the case may be, entered into by the Owner, the Servicer shall:

(i) upon request of the Owner, service the Mortgage Loans included in such Reconstitution pursuant to a security servicing agreement or other agreement;

(ii) if the Servicer will continue servicing the Mortgage Loans included in the Reconstitution, provide as applicable:

(A) information pertaining to the Servicer of the type and scope customarily included in offering documents for residential mortgage-backed securities transactions involving single or multiple loan originators including information regarding financial condition and mortgage loan delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience or other information as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Owner, and to deliver to the Owner any non-public, unaudited financial information, in which case the Owner shall bear the cost of having such information audited by certified public accountants if the Owner desires such an audit, or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Owner and which the Servicer is capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense (collectively “Servicer Information”), and to indemnify the Owner and its affiliates for material misstatements or omissions contained in the Servicer Information; provided, however, Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Servicer and its affiliates for material misstatements or omissions contained in all other information in any offering document, other than Servicer Information; and

(B) such opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of Servicer as are reasonably believed necessary by the trustee, any Rating Agency or the Owner, as the case may be, in connection with such Private Securitization Transaction or Public Securitization Transaction. The Owner shall pay all third party costs associated with the preparation of the information described in clause (ii)(A) above and the delivery of any opinions (other than opinions by in-house counsel), letters or certificates described in this clause (ii)(B).

(iii) if the Servicer will continue servicing the Mortgage Loans included in the Reconstitution, to negotiate and execute 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; and

(iv) if the Servicer will continue servicing the Mortgage Loans included in the Reconstitution, (1) cooperate fully with the Owner, any prospective purchaser, any Rating Agency or any party to any agreement to be executed in connection with such Whole Loan Transfer, Private Securitization Transaction or Public Securitization Transaction, with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures, including participating in meetings with Rating Agencies, bond insurers and such other parties as the Owner shall designate and participating in meetings with prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans or interests therein and providing information reasonably requested by such purchasers; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all reconstitution agreements required by the Owner, and to use its best reasonable, good faith efforts to facilitate such Whole Loan Transfer, Private Securitization Transaction or Public Securitization Transaction, as the case may be; (3) (a) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the Reconstitution Date which shall not be materially more onerous than those required under this Agreement or (b) make the representations and warranties with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans set forth in the related selling/servicing guide of the master servicer or issuer, as the case may be, or such representations and warranties with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans as may be required by any Rating Agency or prospective purchaser of the related securities or such Mortgage Loans, in connection with such Reconstitution; provided, however, that such representations and warranties shall not be materially more onerous than those required under this Agreement. The Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to such master servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Servicer or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Owner or any such other participant shall reasonably request and (ii) subject to the provisions of this Section 12.01(b), to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Owner or any such participant; provided that the Servicer is given an opportunity to review and reasonably negotiate in good faith provisions of such indemnity.

(c) Any execution of a security servicing agreement or reconstitution agreement by the Servicer shall be conditioned on the Servicer receiving the Servicing Fee or such other servicing fee acceptable to Servicer. All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer, Private Securitization Transaction or Public Securitization Transaction shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer is the servicer with respect to a Reconstitution, the Owner agrees that in such Reconstitution any servicing performance termination triggers shall be substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement or otherwise subject to approval by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion.

MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS

The following documents shall constitute the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan:

(a) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements, endorsed “Pay to the order of _________, without recourse” and signed in the name of the last endorsee (the “Last Endorsee”) by an authorized officer. To the extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge, if state law so allows and the Custodian is so advised by the Owner that state law so allows. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Last Endorsee while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], formerly known as [previous name]”; the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note;

(b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon.
