ARTICLE II

SERVICING

Section 2.01                                Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Servicing Agreement and its obligations in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be limited to those set forth in this Servicing Agreement.  In accordance with and subject to the Delegation of Authority Matrix attached as Exhibit 10 hereto, the Owner shall delegate authority to the Servicer to carry out the Servicer’s servicing and administration duties without obtaining the Owner’s prior written approval.

Consistent with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, the PennyMac Property Preservation Program, and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note, or waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Penalty.  Unless in compliance with the PennyMac Property Preservation Program, the terms of any Mortgage Loan may only be modified, varied or forgiven with the prior written consent of the Owner while the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding.  The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of this section shall be reflected in writing or electronically in the Servicing File.  The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.  If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with a fully executed Power of Attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Servicing Agreement.  The Servicer may request the consent of the Owner in writing by certified mail, overnight courier or such other means as may be agreed to by the parties to a course of action that the Servicer proposes to take under this Servicing Agreement.  Unless the Owner shall give written notice to the Servicer that it objects to any recommended course of action within ten (10) Business Days immediately following the day on which the Owner received the Servicer’s written consent request (together with its recommended course of action and relevant supporting documentation), the Owner shall be deemed to have consented to such recommended course of action, and Servicer may take the action recommended to the Owner, unless the Servicer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such action is no longer prudent or applicable and the Servicer notifies the Owner of such decision not to act.  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

18

(i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and such Mortgage Loan, and the waiver of such Prepayment Penalty is standard and customary in servicing similar 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 Mortgage Loan (including any waiver of a prepayment penalty in connection with a refinancing of a 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 Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default.  In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, where such procedures do not conflict with the requirements of this Servicing 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 Mortgage Loans.  Servicer shall have no obligation to collect a Prepayment Penalty with respect to a Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer is provided with such information electronically; provided, however, that the Servicer shall compare the Notice of Transfer of Mortgage Loans provided by the Owner and any electronic data regarding the Mortgage Loans provided by the previous servicer of such 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 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 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 Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement shall be appropriately marked and identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the related 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 Servicing 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.

19

The Servicer shall maintain adequate capacity to service the 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 it Affiliates).

Section 2.02                                Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as 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 Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance 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 Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, including, without limitation, any foreclosure actions, acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure, and any collection actions with respect to any Mortgage Loans or 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 Mortgage Loan or REO Properties in the name of, or with reference to, the Owner.

Section 2.03                                Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Payment Clearing Account.

Continuously from the related Servicing 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 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 Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that

20

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, 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 Servicing Agreement).  Not later than the second Business Day following the receipt of a payment in respect of a Mortgage Loan subject to this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall withdraw the amount such payment form 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 2.04, and (2) in the Escrow Account, the portion of such payment required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 2.06.

Section 2.04                                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 “PNMAC Loan Svc LLC ITF PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. ttee and/or bailee for PNMAC LLC  - and/or pmnts of var mtgrs and/or other owners of int in loans- P&I”  The 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), or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer.  A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner on or prior to the execution of this Servicing Agreement.  The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds in the Custodial Account separate and apart from the Servicer’s own funds and general assets.

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 Servicing Transfer Date pursuant to this Servicing Agreement:

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 shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer may retain any such interest.

Section 2.05                   Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

Subject to Section 3.01, 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 3.01;

Section 2.06                   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 “PNMAC Loan Svc LLC ttee and/or bailee for PNMAC LLC and/or pmts of var mtgrs and/or other owners of int in loans- T&I”.  The 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 2.07.  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), or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Servicer.  A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Owner on or prior to the execution of this Servicing 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.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Servicing Agreement, as set forth in Section 2.07.  Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor.  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 2.07                   Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

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

24

Section 2.08                   Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow Payments to be made, 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 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 First Lien Mortgage Loan 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 First Lien Mortgage Loan that provides for Escrow Payments, 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 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 2.09                   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

25

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 2.10                   Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each 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 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 the Mortgage Loan or (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer (or, in the case of REO Property, the fair market value of such REO Property).

If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended, each 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 the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of 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 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 said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.  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 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 Mortgaged Property as security.

26

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property 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 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.

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 2.04, 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 2.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.

Section 2.11                   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 Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 2.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 2.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 2.10.  Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a

27

Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05.  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 2.10, 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 2.12                   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 2.12 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 Servicing Agreement.  Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be 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 2.13                   Inspections.

The Servicer shall order an inspection of the Mortgaged Property when the related 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 2.05(iv).

28

Section 2.14                   Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Owner prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Servicing Agreement.  At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of 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.

Section 2.15                   Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Owner and without reference to the Owner except as otherwise required by law, 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.

Upon approval by Owner, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.  In consideration therefor, the Owner shall pay the Servicer the REO Marketing Fee per month as set forth in Exhibit 9.  The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed.  The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing

29

Practices.  The Servicer shall provide the Owner on a monthly basis with a report on the status of each REO Property.

In consideration therefor, the Owner shall pay the Servicer the REO Marketing Fee per month as set forth in Exhibit 9.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property 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 2.10 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 2.05(iv).

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to the terms of this Servicing 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, 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 2.05(iv).

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on a monthly basis the Servicer’s standard REO report on REO Property then serviced by the Servicer.

Section 2.17                   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 (other than litigation costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), which may be funded through the use of a Litigation Reserve pursuant to Section 2.17(b)).  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 as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.  At the termination of this Servicing 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 (excluding litigation costs and expenses), and shall be used to pay Servicing Advances (other than litigation costs and expenses) 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 Servicing Advances due and payable (without prepayment) 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 Servicing Agreement and not for any other purpose.

(b)           Litigation Reserve.  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.  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 as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.  At the termination of this Servicing 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.  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 Servicing Agreement and not for any other purpose.

Section 2.20                   Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each 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 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, 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.

If a Mortgage Loan is identified on the Notice of Transfer of Mortgage Loans 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

Section 2.27                   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 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 Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any PMI Policy in effect on the related Servicing Transfer Date that is required to be kept in force under this Servicing Agreement 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 4.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such 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.

Section 4.01                   Transfers of Mortgaged Property.

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

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 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 4.01, 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 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 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

40

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 Mortgage Loan.

The Servicer shall be required to take any action otherwise required by this Section 4.01 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 4.02                   Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Owner in accordance with this Section 4.02.  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, 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 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 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 maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.12 insuring the Servicer against any loss it may

41

sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Section 4.03                   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.  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 related Distribution Date.  With respect to amounts due to the Servicer that remain unpaid after the Distribution Date pursuant to this section, interest shall be due on such late payment 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 be paid on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.  The Servicer shall be entitled to deduct such unpaid amounts due to Servicer on the Remittance Date following the Distribution 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 to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.  The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

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 can not 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).  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 Servicing Agreement, the Servicer and the Owner shall use best efforts to work together in good faith to resolve such dispute within a time period that is reasonable in the context of the cause of the dispute.  Except in the case of a monetary error, the Owner and the Servicer shall both work together 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

42

party holding the amounts due the other party shall use reasonable efforts to submit the amount in error within ten (10) Business Days from the date the error was uncovered.  With respect to amounts due a party after the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date the error was uncovered, interest shall be due 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 be paid on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.

Section 4.04                   Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a)           So long as any Mortgage Loans are being serviced hereunder, or were serviced hereunder during the prior calendar year, the Servicer shall, at its own expense, deliver to the Owner, on or before March 28th of each year beginning March 28, 2010 (but in no event later than the next to the last Business Day of such month), a statement of compliance addressed to the Owner and signed by a Servicing Officer, to the effect that (i) a review of the Servicer’s servicing activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under the servicing provisions of this Servicing Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its servicing obligations under this Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer, the nature and the status thereof.

Section 4.05                   Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

(a)           So long as any Mortgage Loans are being serviced hereunder, or were serviced hereunder during the prior calendar year, the Servicer shall, at its own expense, deliver to the Owner, on or before March 28th of each year beginning March 28, 2010 (but in no event later than the next to the last Business Day of such month), a report of a registered public accounting firm stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate.  In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Subservicers.

Section 4.08                   Compliance with ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999.

(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 Servicing 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; but, in each case set forth in subparts (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 Servicing Agreement; or (ii) to comply with all applicable requirements with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans as set forth herein.

(c)           (i)            Any failure by the Servicer or any Subservicer to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Sections 4.04, 4.05, or 5.02, which continues unremedied for three Business Days after receipt by the Servicer and the applicable Subservicer or subcontractor, of written notice of such failure from the Owner, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement

52

related thereto to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer; provided, however, it is understood that the Servicer shall remain entitled to receive reimbursement for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any provision of this Servicing Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(ii)           Any failure by the Servicer or any Subservicer to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Servicing Agreement, which continues unremedied for three (3) Business Days after receipt by the applicable Subservicer of written notice of such failure from the Owner shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Servicing Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer; provided, however, it is understood that the Servicer shall remain entitled to receive reimbursement for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any provision of this Servicing Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

(d)           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.

(e)           The foregoing indemnifications provided for in this Section are not intended by the parties to encompass “normal” litigation relating to servicing operations conducted in accordance with Standard Servicing Practices including, without limitation, foreclosure litigation.

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

Section 8.02                   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 Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any

53

breach of the terms and conditions of this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 Servicing 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 8.03                   Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer.

The Owner has entered into this Servicing 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.  Therefore, the Servicer shall not assign this Servicing Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof 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 Servicing 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 6.02.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Servicing Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Servicing Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 6.01(a), 11.01(g) and 13.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.

54

Section 8.04                   Assignment by Owner.

Subject to the limitations and requirements set forth in the third paragraph of Section 2.01, 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 any rights of the Owner hereunder.

Section 8.05                   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 Servicing Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Servicing Agreement.  Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation (including by means of the sale of all or substantially all of the Servicer’s assets to such Person) to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer (whether or not related to loan servicing), shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding

The Servicer shall give ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Owner to the extent permitted by applicable law of any such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or other disposition to which the Servicer proposes to be a party.  In the event that any successor entity to the Servicer fails to meet the requirements set forth in this Section 8.05 and the Owner does not consent to such successor becoming the servicer hereunder, then the Servicer shall have the right to terminate this Servicing Agreement with respect to the Servicer and any such successor upon notice given as set forth in Section 6.01, without any payment of any termination penalty or termination damages and without any additional liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party, except for liabilities accrued under this Servicing Agreement prior to the date of termination and for liabilities resulting from Owner’s obligations hereunder, including the payment of the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 4.03.

(a)           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 Servicing 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

(b)           the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Servicing Agreement which 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 Servicing Agreement) after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner (the date of delivery of such notice, the “Notice Date”); provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date, the cure period may be extended if the Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Owner that the failure can be cured and the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action; or

(c)           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

(f)            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

61

satisfy the licensing requirements for the jurisdiction where such Mortgaged Properties are located;

(g)           the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Servicing Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof in a manner not permitted under this Servicing Agreement; or

(h)           any of those failures specified in Section 8.01(c)(i) or (ii) as constituting an Event of Default under this Servicing Agreement.

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 Servicing Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

62

any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
