The definition of “Business Day” in Article 1 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Business Day: Any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, or a day on which banks and savings and loan institutions in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York or Texas are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.

A new definition of “Permitted Investments” is hereby added to Article 1 immediately following the definition of “Periodic Rate Cap” to read as follows:

Permitted Investments: Any one or more of the following obligations or securities acquired at a purchase price of not greater than par, regardless of whether issued or managed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Assignee or any of their respective affiliates or for which an affiliate of the any of the foregoing serves as an advisor:

(i) direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by, the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof, provided such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States;

(ii) (A) such depository institution or trust company or its ultimate parent has a short-term uninsured debt rating in one of the two highest available rating categories of the Rating Agency and (B) any other demand or time deposit or deposit which is fully insured by the FDIC;

(iii) repurchase obligations with respect to any security described in clause (i) above and entered into with a depository institution or trust company (acting as principal) rated A or higher by the Rating Agency;

(iv) securities bearing interest or sold at a discount that are issued by any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or any State thereof and that are rated by the Rating Agency in its highest long-term unsecured rating categories at the time of such investment or contractual commitment providing for such investment;

(v) commercial paper (including both non-interest-bearing discount obligations and interest-bearing obligations) that is rated by the Rating Agency in its highest short-term unsecured debt rating available at the time of such investment;

(vi) units of money market funds (which may be 12b-1 funds, as contemplated by the Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 including funds managed or advised by the Assignee or an affiliate thereof having the highest applicable rating from the Rating Agency; and

(vii) if previously confirmed in writing to the Securities Administrator, any other demand, money market or time deposit, or any other obligation, security or investment, as may be acceptable to the Rating Agency in writing as a permitted investment of funds backing securities having ratings equivalent to its highest initial ratings of the senior certificates;

(viii) provided, however, that no instrument described hereunder shall evidence either the right to receive (a) only interest with respect to the obligations underlying such instrument or (b) both principal and interest payments derived from obligations underlying such instrument and the interest and principal payments with respect to such instrument provide a yield to maturity at par greater than 120% of the yield to maturity at par of the underlying obligations.

The following new definitions are hereby added to Article 1 immediately following the definition of “Qualified Insurer” to read as follows:

Rating Agency: Any nationally recognized statistical rating agency rating the securities issued in the applicable Pass-Through Transfer.

REMIC: A Areal estate mortgage investment conduit within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code.

A new paragraph is added at the end of Section 5.2 to read as follows:

Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty which prepays during the term of the penalty. If Servicer fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Penalty, Servicer shall pay the Seller at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to amount of the Prepayment Penalty which was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, Servicer may waive a Prepayment Penalty without paying the Seller the amount of the Prepayment Penalty (i) if the Mortgage Loan is in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related 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), (ii) if the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii) if the collection of such Prepayment Penalty would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure.

The first paragraph of Section 5.4 of the Servicing Agreement (Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts) is hereby amended to read as follows:

(i)

Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account entitled ‘in trust for the Trustee on behalf of the HSI Asset Securitization Corporation Trust 2007-HE1 Trust’, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. Servicer shall provide the Seller with written evidence of the creation of such Custodial Account(s) upon the request of the Seller;

(ii)

by adding a new paragraph at the end of the section to read as follows:

“Funds in the Custodial Account shall, if invested, be invested in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be under no obligation or duty to invest (or otherwise pay interest on) amounts held in the Custodial Account. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal no later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the Servicer, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Remittance Date). Any and all investment earnings from any such Permitted Investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, and shall not be part of the Trust. The risk of loss of moneys required to be remitted to the Master Servicer resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Servicer. The Servicer shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Custodial Account immediately as realized, but in no event later than the related Remittance Date.”

A new Section 5.20 (Compliance with REMIC Provisions) is hereby added to the Servicing Agreement to read as follows:

Section 5.20. Compliance with REMIC Provisions. If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, Countrywide shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) materially and adversely affect the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless Countrywide has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

Section 6.2(a) is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “each Remittance Date” with “the twenty-first (21st) calendar day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) of the month of each Remittance Date.”

Sections 6.4 and 6.5 are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with “[Reserved]”.

Section 7.5 (Servicer Not to Resign) is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “the Seller” with “the Master Servicer.”

Section 8.1 (Termination Due to an Event of Default) is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “the Seller” with “the Master Servicer.”

A new Section 9.19 (Amendment) is hereby added to the Servicing Agreement to read as follows:

SECTION 9.19. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, but only to the extent such amendment affects the Mortgage Loans, by written agreement signed by the Seller, the Assignee and the Master Servicer (in furtherance of the Master Servicer’s rights, duties and obligations as Master Servicer for the Trust). In respect of any such amendment, the Assignee and the Master Servicer agree to be bound by the requirements for entering into such amendment provided in Section 12.01(b) of the pooling and servicing agreement, including the delivery of any opinion of counsel required therein.

Section 2(d) of the Amendment Reg AB shall be amended by replacing “2007” with “2008” in the first sentence thereof.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 5.1 Servicer to Act as Servicer. Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things, in connection with such servicing and administration, that Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, Servicer shall employ procedures in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Countrywide shall be responsible for any and all acts of Servicer and any subcontractor employed by Countrywide or Servicer, and the utilization of a subservicer or a subcontractor contracted by Countrywide or Servicer shall in no way relieve liability of either Countrywide or Servicer under this Agreement.

In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Seller; provided, however, that Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would decrease the Mortgage Interest Rate (other than by adjustments required by the terms of the Mortgage Note), result in the denial of coverage under a PMI Policy, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make future advances or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan without the Seller's consent. Servicer may permit forbearance or allow for suspension of Monthly Payments for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days if the Mortgagor is in default or Servicer determines in its reasonable discretion, that default is imminent and if Servicer determines that granting such forbearance or suspension is in the best interest of the Seller. If any modification, forbearance or suspension permitted hereunder allows the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall include in each remittance for any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred (without giving effect to such modification, forbearance or suspension) an amount equal to such month's principal and one (1) month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the then unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances only to the same extent as for Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Seller, 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 Property. If reasonably required by Servicer, the Seller shall furnish Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Servicer will furnish, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and requisite information on its borrower credit files to Equifax Credit Information Service, Inc., Experian Information Solution, Inc., and Trans Union, LLC, on a monthly basis.

If the Mortgage Loans or any REO Properties are included in a Pass-Through Transfer, or transferred to an Agency and included in a security, that is a REMIC, Servicer shall not take any action or fail to take any action that could materially and adversely affect the status of any REMIC related to the Mortgage Loans, or impose upon the REMIC a tax on prohibited transactions or contributions, unless Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not materially and adversely affect such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any tax on the REMIC.

Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans, in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Seller, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Seller after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by Servicer through PMI Proceeds, Other Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property. Servicer shall notify the Seller in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. Such notice may be contained in the reports prepared by Servicer and delivered to the Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property.

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Seller to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 5.3 shall be advanced by Servicer, subject to Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account.

If Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Seller to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Servicer, provided, however, that Servicer shall not proceed with such clean-up, remediation, foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental audit report, together with the Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances made by Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by Servicer, subject to Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account.

Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Other Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.5; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.

Servicer shall provide the Seller with written evidence of the creation of such Escrow Account(s) upon the request of the Seller.

Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account(s) within two (2) Business Days, and retain therein, (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, and (b) all Other Insurance Proceeds that are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes in accordance with Section 5.7. Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid by the depository institution on funds deposited in the Escrow Account except interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. Servicer shall pay Mortgagor interest on the escrowed funds at the rate required by law notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or the interest paid by the depository institution thereon is insufficient to pay the Mortgagor interest at the rate required by law.

Section 5.7 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Escrow Account(s) for the following purposes: (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, PMI Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items; (b) to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such reimbursement shall only be made from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (c) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages; (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (e) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property; (f) to pay to Servicer, or to the Mortgagors to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; (g) to reimburse itself for any amounts deposited in the Escrow Account in error; or (h) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.8 Transfer of Accounts. Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time provided that such Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall at all times be Eligible Account and the Servicer shall notify the Seller in writing within a reasonable period of time after such transfer has taken place.

Section 5.9 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of PMI Policies; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of (a) ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges that are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property; (b) primary mortgage insurance premiums; (c) with respect to Mortgage Loans insured by the FHA, mortgage insurance premiums, and (d) fire and hazard insurance premiums. Servicer 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 using Escrow Payments which shall have been estimated and accumulated by Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely 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 advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

Servicer will maintain in full force and effect, a PMI Policy conforming in all respects to the description set forth in Section 3.4(cc), issued by an insurer described in that Section, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the LTV or the Updated LTV of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less in the case of a Mortgage Loan having a LTV at origination in excess of 80%. Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any PMI Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement PMI Policy is obtained from and maintained with an insurer that is approved by an Agency. Servicer shall not take any action that would result in non-coverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss that, but for the actions of Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 5.16, Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions that may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, Servicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

Unless otherwise provided in the related Purchase Confirmation, no Mortgage Loan has in effect as of the Closing Date any mortgage pool insurance policy or other credit enhancement, except for any PMI Policy, LPMI Policy, and the insurance or guarantee relating thereto, as applicable (excluding such exception, the “Credit Enhancement”), and Servicer shall not be required to take into consideration the existence of any such Credit Enhancement for the purposes of performing its servicing obligations hereunder. If the Seller shall at any time after the related Closing Date notify Servicer in writing of its desire to obtain any such Credit Enhancement, the Seller and Servicer shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for the procurement and servicing of such Credit Enhancement.

Section 5.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount that is equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (b) the greater of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the National Flood Insurance Administration program (or any successor thereto) with a Qualified Insurer and with coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; (y) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; or (z) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994. Servicer shall also maintain on REO Property, (1) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is not less than the maximum insurable value of the improvements that are a part of such property; (2) liability insurance; and (3) to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account all amounts collected under any such policies except (A) amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property and (B) amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Servicer's normal servicing procedures. The Seller understands and agrees that no earthquake or other additional insurance on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan shall be maintained by Servicer or Mortgagor. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Servicer of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of coverage or material change in coverage. Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either the insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that Servicer shall only accept insurance policies from insurance companies acceptable to an Agency and licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 5.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance. If Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:V, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 5.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 5.10, Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 5.10. If such blanket policy contains a deductible clause and there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property an additional individual policy complying with Section 5.10, upon the occurrence of a loss that would have been covered by such individual policy, Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Seller, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

Section 5.12 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy with responsible companies, with broad coverage of all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan who handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of its officers, employees and agents. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure 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 5.12 shall diminish or relieve Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by an ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac for an approved seller/servicer. Upon request of the Seller, Servicer shall provide to the Seller a certificate of insurance which certifies coverage of such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy under this Section 5.12.

Section 5.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) Title. In the event that title to the 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 Servicer for the benefit of the Seller, or in the event the Seller 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. Any Person(s) holding such title other than the Seller shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Seller.

(b) Management. Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account. Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by Servicer to the Seller within five (5) days of the Seller's request therefor. Servicer shall attempt to sell the REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Seller. Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, within two (2) Business Days of receipt, in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of each REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon written notice to Servicer, the Seller may elect to assume the management and control of any REO Property; provided, however, that prior to giving effect to such election, the Seller shall reimburse Servicer for all previously unreimbursed or unpaid Monthly Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees related to such REO Property.

(c) Disposition. Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of each REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell each REO Property no later than one (1) year after title to such REO Property has been obtained, unless Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Seller, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly disposition of any REO Property. If a period longer than one (1) year is necessary to sell any REO Property, Servicer shall, if requested by the Seller, report monthly to the Seller as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the REO Property is held, such REO Property shall be disposed of before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless Servicer provides to the Purchaser under such REMIC an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Additionally, Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and reporting as required by 6050J of the Code.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Seller. If, as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by Servicer, there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances or Servicing Fees with respect to the REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan, Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account and distributed to the Seller in accordance with Section 6.1.

Section 5.14 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related Payment 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. 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. Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Seller such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by Servicer or the Seller that Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account, from its own funds, the amount of any interest loss caused the Seller thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Section 5.15 Notification of Maturity Date. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date and final balloon payment.

Section 5.16 Assumption Agreements. Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that Servicer shall not exercise any such right if prohibited from doing so by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note or if the exercise of such right would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy, if any. If Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, Servicer shall enter into an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 5.16, the Seller authorizes Servicer, with the prior written consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, 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.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures employed by Servicer for mortgage loans originated by Servicer for its own account in effect at the time such assumption or substitution is made. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall not be changed. Servicer shall notify the Seller that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Seller 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 5.16, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 5.17 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, Servicer shall immediately notify the Seller. Such notice shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment, which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.4, have been or will be so deposited and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Seller. Upon receipt of such notice and request, the Seller, or its designee, shall within five (5) Business Days release or cause to be released to Servicer the related Mortgage Loan Documents and Servicer shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. In the event that the Seller fails to release or cause to be released to Servicer the related Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days of Servicer’s request therefor, the Seller shall be liable to Servicer for any additional expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, outsourcing fees and penalties, incurred by Servicer resulting from such failure. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Seller may have under the mortgage instruments, Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit to the Seller the then unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the service or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any PMI Policy, the Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days of Servicer’s request and delivery to the Seller, or the Seller's designee, of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released to Servicer the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Seller or its designee. Pursuant to the servicing receipt, Servicer shall be obligated to return to the Seller the related Mortgage File when Servicer no longer needs such file, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially. In the event that the Seller fails to release or cause to be released to Servicer the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Seller or its designee within five (5) Business Days of Servicer’s request therefor, the Seller shall be liable to Servicer for any additional expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, outsourcing fees and penalties, incurred by Servicer resulting from such failure. Upon receipt of notice from Servicer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the Seller shall release Servicer from its obligations under the related servicing receipt.

Section 5.18 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account the amounts provided for as Servicing Fees. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Seller to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation Proceeds, to the extent permitted by Section 5.5) of such Monthly Payments. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees (as provided in Section 5.16), late payment charges, prepayment penalties (if set forth in the related Transaction Documents) or otherwise shall be retained by Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. 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 therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Section 5.19 Superior Liens. In the event that Servicer has reasonable cause to believe or has been notified that either a senior or junior lien is in default, Servicer shall attempt to determine the status of the related senior lien, if applicable.

If Servicer discovers, upon investigation of the status of the senior lien pursuant to the previous paragraph, that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the first lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the related Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Seller, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Seller in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including advancing an amount that is greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the related Second Lien Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance (including those contemplated in this Section 5.19) if it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Servicing Advance would not be recoverable pursuant to the Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS OF PAYMENTS AND REPORTS TO

SELLER

Section 6.1 Distributions. On each Remittance Date, Servicer shall distribute to the Seller (a) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 5.5; plus (b) all Monthly Advances, if any, that Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 6.3; minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the related Principal Prepayment Period; provided, however, all Principal Prepayments received during the Principal Prepayment Period shall be distributed by Countrywide to the Seller on each Remittance Date minus any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the related Principal Prepayment Period; minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date. It is understood that, by operation of Section 5.4, the remittance on the first Remittance Date is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date through the first Determination Date after the Closing Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments specified in (b), (c) and (d) above.

Section 6.2 Periodic Reports to the Seller.

(a) Monthly Reports. Not later than each Remittance Date, Servicer shall furnish to the Seller via any electronic medium a monthly report in a form mutually agreeable to Servicer and the Seller, which report shall include with respect to each Mortgage Loan the following loan-level information: (i) the scheduled balance as of the last day of the related Due Period, (ii) all Principal Prepayments applied to the Mortgagor’s account during the related Principal Prepayment Period, and (iii) the delinquency and bankruptcy status of the Mortgage Loan, if applicable.

(b) Miscellaneous Reports. Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Seller pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Servicer shall submit to the Seller a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property, which report may be included with any other reports prepared by Servicer and delivered to the Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to any REO Property, and upon the request of the Seller, Servicer shall furnish to the Seller a statement describing Servicer's efforts during the previous month in connection with the sale of such REO Property, including any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof and an operating statement. Servicer shall also provide the Seller with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Seller to prepare its federal income tax return and as the Seller may reasonably request from time to time. The Seller agrees to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Servicer in connection with complying with any request made by the Seller hereunder if such information is not customarily provided by Servicer in the ordinary course of servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 6.3 Monthly Advances by Servicer. Not later than one (1) day prior to each Remittance Date, Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 6.1, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Determination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Servicer may use amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account for future distribution to the Seller to satisfy its obligation, if any, to deposit delinquent amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence. To the extent Servicer uses any funds being held for future distribution to the Seller to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.3, Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to such used funds no later than the Determination Date prior to the following Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date are less than the amounts to be remitted to the Seller pursuant to Section 6.1.

Servicer's obligation to make such advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the earliest of: (a) the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan; (b) the Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of any Liquidation Proceeds, Other Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which, in the case of Other Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds, satisfy in full the indebtedness of such Mortgage Loan; or (c) a Final Recovery Determination in connection with any REO Property. In no event shall Servicer be obligated to make an advance under this Section 6.3 if at the time of such advance it reasonably determines that such advance will be unrecoverable.

Section 6.4 Annual Statement as to Compliance. On or before March 5th of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, Servicer shall deliver to the Seller a statement of compliance addressed to the Seller and signed by an authorized officer of Servicer, to the effect that (i) a review of Servicer’s servicing activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any applicable reconstitution agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, Servicer has fulfilled all of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and any applicable reconstitution agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Seller to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall notify Servicer prior to providing any such copies. In the event that Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a subservicer, Servicer shall deliver an officer’s certificate of the subservicer as described above as to each subservicer as and when required with respect to Servicer

Section 6.5 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report. Servicer shall, on or before March 5th of each year, beginning in the year following the Closing Date, cause, at its sole cost and expense, a firm of independent public accountants, which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish a statement to the Seller to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records and performed certain other procedures relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans during the immediately preceding fiscal year of Servicer and that such firm is of the opinion that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such servicing has been conducted in compliance therewith, except for such exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

Section 6.6 Seller’s Access to Servicer’s Records. The Seller shall have access upon reasonable notice to Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, to any and all of the books and records of Servicer that relate to the performance or observance by Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. Further, Servicer hereby authorizes the Seller, in connection with a sale of the Mortgage Loans, to make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations of Servicer, or its parent company, prepared by or at the request of Servicer for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years for which such a statement is available as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. Servicer also agrees to make available to any prospective purchaser, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting Servicer's ability to perform under this Agreement. The Seller agrees to reimburse Servicer for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Servicer in connection with its obligations under this Section 6.6.

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS BY SERVICER

Section 7.1 Additional Indemnification by Servicer. Servicer shall indemnify the Seller and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Seller may sustain in any way related to the failure of Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder including its obligations to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall indemnify Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that Servicer may sustain in any way related to (a) actions or inactions of Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan which are inconsistent with the obligations imposed on Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, taken or omitted upon the written direction of the Seller, (b) the failure of the Seller or the custodian to perform its obligations under Section 5.17 of this Agreement, (c) the failure of the Seller to perform its obligations in subsections (i) and (ii) in Section 7.4 of this Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Seller to perform its obligations in Sections 5.1, 5.13(b), 6.2, 6.6, 7.3, 7.6, 8.2, 9.6, 9.15 and 9.18 of this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Third Party Claims. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of the existence of any material fact known to it giving rise to any obligations of the other party under Sections 3.5 and 7.1 and, in the case of any claim brought by a third party, which may give rise to any such obligations, each party shall promptly notify the other party of the making of such claim or the commencement of such action by a third party as and when same becomes known to it. The indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may, at its own cost and expense, assume and control defense of any third party claim, including, without limitation, the right to designate counsel and to control all negotiations, litigation, settlements, compromises and appeals of any such claim or potential claim; provided that the counsel is satisfactory to the indemnified party (“Indemnified Party”) in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. The party not controlling the defense or prosecution of any such claim may participate at its own costs and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Countrywide or Servicer is the Indemnified Party and Countrywide or Servicer reasonably believes that the assumption of the defense or prosecution of all or a portion of a third party claim is necessary to assure that its right or ability to enforce a material portion of its other mortgage loans or servicing rights or to assure that its method of doing business or its authority and approvals to service are not materially impaired, then, upon notice to Seller from Countrywide or Servicer, Seller shall permit such assumption by Countrywide or Servicer, provided that Countrywide or Servicer shall be solely responsible for all costs and fees related to the defense or prosecution as the case may be. However, Countrywide’s or Servicer’s payment of such costs shall in no way limit or waive the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle, compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any third party claim, without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, such consent shall not be required for such a claim involving less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), unless the other party reasonably believes that the settlement, compromise, declination to appeal or other disposition may (i) prejudice the party in connection with other claims or potential claims, or (ii) result in injunctive or other relief (excepting the payment of monetary damages) against the party that could materially interfere with the business, operations, assets, condition or prospects of the party. Following the discharge of the Indemnifying Party's obligations, the Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnifying Party any and all related claims against third parties. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt, the Indemnified Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amounts of all recoveries received by the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim with respect to which it is reimbursed for losses.

Following the receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of a demand for indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall seek to cure the problem giving rise to the demand, if possible, and pay the amount for which it is liable, or otherwise take the actions which it is required to take within thirty (30) days or such other time as may be required by the applicable investor, insurer or third party claimant. As to any claim for indemnity for which notice is given as hereinbefore provided, the corresponding obligation of indemnity shall continue to survive until whichever of the following events first occurs: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have discharged its obligation of indemnity to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, as required hereunder; (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have finally determined that the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim; or (3) the Indemnified Party shall have released in writing (or be held to have released) the Indemnifying Party from any liability with respect to such claim.

Section 7.3 Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Person into which Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Servicer, shall be the successor of Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, unless otherwise consented to by the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac.

Section 7.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. Neither Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of Servicer shall be under any liability to the Seller for any action taken, or for refraining from taking any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or the 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. Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless one or more Events of Default by Servicer shall occur and shall not have been remedied within the time limits set forth in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement, the Seller shall not record or cause to be recorded an Assignment of Mortgage with the recording office. To the extent the Seller records with the recording office as permitted herein an Assignment of Mortgage which designates the Seller as the holder of record of the Mortgage, the Seller agrees that it shall (i) provide Servicer with immediate notice of any action with respect to the Mortgage or the related Mortgaged Property and ensure that the proper department or person at Servicer receives such notice; and (ii) immediately complete, sign and return to Servicer any document reasonably requested by Servicer to comply with its servicing obligations, including without limitation, any instrument required to release the Mortgage upon payment in full of the obligation or take any other action reasonably required by Servicer. The Seller further agrees that Servicer shall have no liability for the Seller’s failure to comply with the subsections (i) or (ii) in the foregoing sentence. Servicer shall have no liability to the Seller and 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 expenses or liability; provided, however, that Servicer may, with the consent of the Seller, 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 legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Seller will be liable, and Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Seller upon written demand except when such expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to Servicer’s indemnification under Section 7.1.

Section 7.5 Servicer Not to Resign. Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of Servicer and the Seller or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of Servicer shall be evidenced by Servicer’s delivery to the Seller of an Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder.

Section 7.6 No Transfer of Servicing. Countrywide acknowledges that the Seller acts in reliance upon Countrywide’s and the Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of their servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, their integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.6, Countrywide shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing rights hereunder, without the prior written approval of the Seller, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION OF SERVICER AS SERVICER

Section 8.1 Termination Due to an Event of Default.

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an Event of Default by Servicer if it shall occur and be continuing:

(i) any failure by Servicer to remit to the Seller any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which such failure continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by the Seller; or

(ii) any failure on the part of Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of Servicer set forth in this 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 required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer by the Seller; or

(iii) 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 Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

(iv) 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 Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v) 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

(vi) Servicer shall cease to be an Agency approved servicer; or

(vii) Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder, except as permitted under this Agreement or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder, except as permitted under this Agreement; or

(vii) Servicer fails to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of nine (9) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by. Such written notice may be given to Servicer by any party to this Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans.

In case one or more Events of Default by Servicer shall occur and shall not have been remedied, the Seller, by notice in writing to Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Seller may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Seller. Upon written request from the Seller, Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments 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 Servicer's sole expense. Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effecting the termination of Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including the transfer to the Seller, for administration by it, of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

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

(b) Waiver of Event of Default. The Seller may waive any default by Servicer in the performance of Servicer’s obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 8.2 Termination by Other Means. The respective obligations and responsibilities of Countrywide and Servicer shall terminate with respect to any Servicing Rights Package upon the first to occur of: (a) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or upon the Final Recovery Determination of all REO Property in such Servicing Rights Package and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; (b) by mutual consent of Countrywide, Servicer and the Seller in writing; or (c) the purchase by Servicer of all outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Property in a Servicing Rights Package at a price equal to (i) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the date of such purchase plus accrued interest thereon through the last day of the month of purchase, and (ii) in the case of REO Property, the lesser of (1) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan encumbering the Mortgaged Property at the time such Mortgaged Property was acquired and became REO Property or (2) the fair market value of such REO Property at the time of purchase.

The right of Servicer to purchase all outstanding Mortgage Loans in a Servicing Rights Package pursuant to (c) above shall be conditional upon (i) the outstanding Stated Principal Balances of such Mortgage Loans at the time of any such purchase aggregating less than ten percent (10%), unless otherwise set forth in the Trade Confirmation, of the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on the related Cut-off Date, and (ii) the determination by Servicer that the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans exceed the benefits accruing to Servicer therefrom.

With regard to any Mortgage Loan that is more than ninety (90) days delinquent (each a “Non-Performing Mortgage Loan”), the Seller shall have the one time right each calendar month to acquire the Servicing Rights relating to such Non-Performing Mortgage Loan provided that the Seller (i) reimburses Servicer for all outstanding and unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances made by Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) pays to Servicer the Administrative Fee. As used in this Section 8.2, the term “Administrative Fee” shall mean an amount equal to $250.00/Non-Performing Mortgage Loan for the first ten (10) Non-Performing Loans and $100.00/Non-Performing Mortgage Loan thereafter.

With regard to any Mortgage Loan that is more than one hundred twenty (120) days delinquent, the Seller shall have the one time right each calendar month to acquire the Servicing Rights relating to such Non-Performing Mortgage Loan provided the Seller reimburses Servicer for all outstanding and unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances made by Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (Jan. 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.

(a) Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Owner and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article 2 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and Section 302 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the parties acknowledge that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. The parties agree over time to negotiate in good faith with respect to the provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. The Company acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Owner or any Depositor with regard to any reasonable requests for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, and any parties or items identified in writing by the Owner, including, any Subservicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Owner agrees that it will cooperate with the Company and provide sufficient and timely notice of any information requirements pertaining to a Securitization Transaction. The Owner will make all reasonable efforts to contain requests for information, reports or any other materials to items required for compliance with Regulation AB, and shall not request information which is not required for such compliance.
