Eligible Advances shall also include any outstanding servicing advances previously paid or reimbursed by Servicer to National City Bank and National City Mortgage Services in connection with a servicing transfer to the Servicer and applicable to the Nat City portfolio. Each such advance shall be deemed a “Legacy Servicing Advance”. | |
| Eligible Advances shall not include advances applicable to the payment of any guaranty or excess servicing fees or lender paid mortgage insurance premiums. Eligible Advances must have been actually incurred by the Servicer, and T&I Escrow Advances and Corporate Servicing Advances must fall under one of the 571 Codes in the Fannie Mae 571 Claims Guide.
Excluded Servicer branch ID’s: None | ||
| Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the date on which the underlying real estate/collateral is sold or disposed of, the loan is otherwise “liquidated” (including as a result of an event reported as Fannie Mae Action Code of 70, 71 or 72), or loans have a zero UPB as a result of an event reported as Fannie Mae Action Code of 60 or 65 (the “Final Liquidation Date”), no Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts will be paid by Fannie Mae for advances made by the Servicer after the Final Liquidation Date on that Mortgage Loan. In addition, all Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts must be repaid within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Final Liquidation Date of the related loan, regardless of whether recoveries have actually been collected. | ||
| PERIODIC EARLY REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT: | For any Reporting Cycle (as defined below), an amount equal to the Funding Value (as defined below) of Eligible Advances, subject to the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit (as defined below).
If the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit is reached in a particular Reporting Cycle, Fannie Mae shall reimburse P&I Delinquency Advances before T&I Escrow Advances or Corporate Servicing Advances and, within each category, Eligible Advances applicable to Mortgage Loans held directly by Fannie Mae (“MRS Advances”) prior to those Mortgage Loans held in an MBS trust (“MBS Advances”.) | |
| AGGREGATE EARLY REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT: | As of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of (i) the total Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts previously paid to Servicer by Fannie Mae prior to such date over (ii) the aggregate, cumulative amount of Collections (as defined below) recouped by Fannie Mae prior to such date. In no event shall Fannie Mae be obligated to make payment of any Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount that would result in the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount exceeding the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit. | |
| FUNDING VALUE: | With respect to any Eligible Advance as of any date of determination, the product of (x) the outstanding balance of such Eligible Advance as of such date and (y) the applicable Early Reimbursement Rate. | |
| EARLY REIMBURSEMENT RATE: | P&I Delinquency Advances: [***]%.1 T&I Escrow Advances: [***]% Corporate Servicing Advances: [***]% Legacy Servicing Advances: 100%
The Early Reimbursement Rate for P&I Delinquency Advances, T&I Escrow Advances, Legacy Servicing Advances and Corporate Servicing Advances will be subject to review and revision by Fannie Mae, in its sole discretion, upon ninety (90) days written notice to Servicer; provided, however, that any revised Early Reimbursement Rate for P&I Delinquency Advances, T&I Escrow Advances, Corporate Servicing Advances and Legacy Advances, as applicable, shall not be less than [***]%. Any revised Early Reimbursement Rate shall become effective for the Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount applicable to the next Reporting Cycle ninety (90) days after Servicer is notified by Fannie Mae of any revision. | |
| EARLY REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT LIMIT: | Fannie Mae’s obligation to make payment of Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts will not exceed a maximum Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount of One-Hundred Fifty Million ($150,000,000) dollars. | |
| DEFICIENCY AMOUNT: | A Deficiency Amount shall exist on any date if, and to the extent that, on such date, the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount exceeds the Funding Value of all Eligible Advances. If a Deficiency Amount exists, the party that becomes aware of such event shall immediately notify the other party of the existence of any Deficiency Amount. Any such Deficiency Amount shall be cured by the Servicer within three business days of the Servicer becoming aware of the existence of a Deficiency Amount. Any Deficiency Amount attributable to the reduction of an Early Reimbursement Rate as provided herein shall be due and payable by Servicer within sixty (60) days. | |
| TRUST or OTHER FANNIE MAE DESIGNATED ACCOUNT: | “Trust Account” shall mean a trust account or other Fannie Mae designated account created by Fannie Mae in its name and under its control at a financial institution of Fannie Mae’s choosing.

| The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim in or to any Trust Account or any funds or other assets therein (whether or not deposited by the Servicer), or any interest earned or accrued on the foregoing (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Guide or in any other agreement), all of which shall be the exclusive property of Fannie Mae. | ||
| ONGOING RECONCILIATION PERIOD: | Anytime an Eligible Advance is requested by Servicer hereunder, Servicer shall provide Fannie Mae an Advance Request Form, a sample of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and shall deliver such request form via e-mail to “ ***@***”.

The calendar month covered by a Report, as applicable, shall constitute a “Reporting Cycle.”
P&I Delinquency Advances.
No later than the second business day following the receipt by Fannie Mae of the Report applicable to P&I Delinquency Advances, Fannie Mae will notify the Servicer of any discrepancies, including any discrepancies between the (a) the sum of all reported loan-level P&I Delinquency Advances and (b) the aggregate P&I Delinquency Advances requested by the Servicer.
On the business day each month prior to the draft date applicable to the standard Fannie Mae MBS remittance cycle (the “Draft Date”) published in the Guide, the following actions shall occur:
(i) to the extent a Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount is required to be distributed, Fannie Mae shall deposit (such deposit shall be contingent on the fact that no discrepancy regarding the requested P&I Delinquency Advances remains outstanding) into the Trust Account the Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount relating to the P&I Delinquency Advances for the related Reporting Cycle; and
(ii) by 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) on such date, the Servicer shall deposit all remaining principal and interest required to be remitted on the Draft Date for all Fannie Mae MBS Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer. | |
| On the Draft Date, Fannie Mae shall draft from the Trust Account, in lieu of the Servicer’s custodial account or accounts, the Required P&I and any amounts deposited by Fannie Mae as Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts.
The Servicer shall deposit into the Collections Account on the Draft Date any principal and interest reported as “uncollected” on the Report, and received between the business day immediately preceding the Report Date and the Draft Date.
T&I Escrow Advances and Corporate Servicing Advances.
No later than the second business day following the Report Date applicable to T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances, Fannie Mae will notify the Servicer of any discrepancies regarding T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances.
Servicer may also receive Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts at month end by submitting to Fannie Mae a Report applicable T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances six business days prior to month end. No later than the second business day following receipt of this Report Fannie Mae will notify the Servicer of any discrepancies regarding T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances
On the business day immediately preceding both the Draft Date and the last business day of the month, Fannie Mae shall fund (to the extent a Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount is required to be distributed) the Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount for T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances (as requested by the Servicer on an Advance Request Form) to the Servicer. Such funding shall be contingent on the fact that no discrepancy regarding the requested T&I Escrow Advances and Corporate Servicing Advances remains outstanding. |
| Subject to the conditions identified below, Fannie Mae additionally agrees that it will reimburse Servicer for T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances on a daily basis as may be requested by Servicer and agreed to by Fannie Mae. Therefore in addition to the reporting requirements identified herein, not later than the fifth (5th) business day prior to the business day on which Servicer requests that Fannie Mae make reimbursement to Servicer (or such other time period as mutually agreed to by the parties), Servicer shall deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee a Report applicable to T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances. Fannie Mae and/or its designee will reconcile the same within two (2) business days, and if it determines that an amount is due and owing by Fannie Mae to Servicer, such amount shall be reimbursed to Servicer by Fannie Mae on the date requested by Servicer, or at such time as may otherwise be mutually agreed to by Fannie Mae and Servicer. Applicable to each reimbursement of T&I Escrow Advances and Corporate Servicing Advances made by Fannie Mae herein, Servicer shall pay Fannie Mae a fee equal to the greater of 1) $1,000, or 2) the Compensation Rate divided by twenty-four (24), multiplied by the T&I Escrow Advance and Corporate Servicing Advances reimbursed by Fannie Mae. Servicer will not be required to pay such administrative fee for the reimbursements made 1) on the business day immediately preceding the Draft Date, and 2) one business day prior to the last business day of each calendar month. Fannie Mae will provide to Servicer an invoice for such administrative fees on or about the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, and within thirty days of receipt of the invoice Servicer agrees to wire to Fannie Mae such invoiced amount as directed in the invoice, or as otherwise directed by Fannie Mae. | ||
| At any time Fannie Mae may notify the Servicer of any material discrepancy between the P&I Delinquency Advances, T&I Escrow Advances or Corporate Servicing Advances as previously reported by the Servicer and the amounts reflected in Fannie Mae’s internal systems of record. Such discrepancies shall constitute a material Due Diligence issue and the Servicer and Fannie Mae will work in good faith to resolve any such material discrepancies. | ||
| REPORTS: | In addition to any required reporting obligations in the Guide, during the Ongoing Reconciliation Period Servicer shall deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee reports and loan level listings (each a “Report”) in a format reasonably acceptable to Fannie Mae containing the data and within the time periods identified in Exhibit B (“EAF Data Dictionary”) to this EAF Agreement (as such Attachment may be modified by Fannie Mae in writing from time to time), including (i) such reason codes to conform to information and codes required by Fannie Mae Form 571 (Cash Disbursement Request) and (ii) upon request, reconciliations and supporting documentation (including invoices) of general ledger receivables applicable to Eligible Advances. | |
| The Servicer shall also provide to Fannie Mae by the 25th day of each month (i) provided that a P&I Delinquency Advance was made, a completed Fannie Mae Form 496 (“Principal and Interest (P&I) Custodial Account Analysis”) including all applicable schedules, and (ii) Fannie Mae Form 496a (“Taxes and Insurance (T&I) Custodial Account Analysis”), including all applicable schedules. | ||
| COLLECTIONS ACCOUNT OVER COLLECTION: | All collections and reimbursements related to Eligible Advances, other than Foreclosure Buyouts, received on the related Mortgage Loans by the Servicer from Fannie Mae, mortgagors or as liquidation proceeds or other recoveries (in the aggregate, the “Collections”), must be deposited by the Servicer into a Collections Account established by Fannie Mae and under Fannie Mae’s control no later than 6:00 pm ET on the second business day following Servicer’s receipt thereof, subject to the following:
(i) During the Early Reimbursement Period the Servicer may retain any Collections in excess of the Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount outstanding with respect to the related Mortgage Loan; and
(ii) During the period between the final disbursement of a Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount and the last day for recoupment as provided below, the Servicer may retain any Collections in excess of the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount.
All Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts related to Foreclosure Advances shall be repaid to the Collections Account within one business day after the Servicer receives a monthly reimbursement of foreclosure advances from Fannie Mae, without regard to the amount actually reimbursed. Further, all Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts for P&I Delinquency Advances and applicable to Mortgage Loans which have undergone a reclassification as provided in the Guide shall be repaid to the Collections Account within two business days of such reclassification.
However, following the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, a Stop Event that has not been waived by Fannie Mae, clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not apply and further, all reimbursements of Eligible Advances due from Fannie Mae shall be deposited directly into the Collections Account by Fannie Mae.
Servicer shall notify Fannie Mae in the event it determines that any Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount relates to an advance other than an Eligible Advance. In addition, Fannie Mae shall provide Servicer with a monthly report listing any Periodic Early Reimbursement Amounts outstanding on advances it has determined to be ineligible, including any relating to loans more than ninety (90) days past their Final Liquidation Date. Servicer shall deposit any such amounts into the Collections Account within 15 calendar days after the date of such determination or report, regardless of whether recoveries have actually been collected. | |
| If the amount in the Collections Account exceeds the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount (“Over Collection”), then simultaneously with the first to occur of the payment of the next Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount or the commencement of the Recoupment Period, the Over Collection amount shall be applied to reduce the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount outstanding. Any amount by which the Over Collection exceeds such Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount will be returned to the Servicer within five business days following the date the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount is reduced to zero. | ||
| MONTHLY SETTLEMENTS / SETTLEMENT DATES: | On the third business day of each month, Fannie Mae shall notify Servicer of the Early Reimbursement Compensation amount. On the fifth business day of each calendar month, Servicer shall fund to an account designated by Fannie Mae the Early Reimbursement Compensation. Such date shall be deemed a “Settlement Date.”
In the event that Fannie Mae does not timely receive such funding, on the following business day Fannie Mae may withdraw an amount equal to such unpaid Early Reimbursement Compensation directly from the Collections Account prior to the calculation of the Periodic Early Reimbursement Amount for that month. Such withdrawal will not avoid the occurrence of a Stop Event.
Following the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, a Stop Event that has not been waived by Fannie Mae, a Settlement Dates shall occur with such frequency (e.g., weekly or daily) as Fannie Mae shall direct. | |
| EARLY REIMBURSEMENT COMPENSATION: | In consideration of Fannie Mae’s reimbursing to Servicer Eligible Advances earlier than as provided under the MSSC and Guide, the Servicer will pay Fannie Mae a monthly compensation amount equal to the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of the Compensation Rate to the amount of the Aggregate Early Reimbursement Amount on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days elapsed since the prior Settlement Date (or, with respect to the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, since the Closing Date). The Servicer will pay the Early Reimbursement Compensation to Fannie Mae on each Settlement Date. | |
| COMPENSATION RATE: | [***]2 basis points over One-Month LIBOR. LIBOR will be set as of the last business day of the second month preceding the month in which the Settlement Date occurs. (For example, if the Settlement Date is August 3rd, LIBOR will be as of the last business day in June.) | |
| FACILITY RENEWAL/ AMENDMENT FEE: | On the Closing Date Servicer shall pay 0.500% of the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit. If extended or renewed in writing by Fannie Mae and Servicer, 0.500% of the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit shall thereafter be payable as a renewal fee annually on the first business day after June 30 each year. If the Early Reimbursement Amount Limit is increased. 0.500% of the additional amount shall be payable as an Amendment Fee on the first business day following the effective date of the increase and pro rated from such effective date to the scheduled end of the Early Reimbursement Period. | |
