Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) during the Term, Subservicer shall carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement, with a degree of care and a level of service that is no less than the Prior Servicing Standards and in compliance with all New Requirements; provided, that Subservicer shall not be responsible for any Damages that arise out of or in connection with the Subservicer’s continuation of Servicer’s Past Practices (in the

- 22 -

B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Servicer, and not Subservicer, shall be obligated to perform any responsibilities under the Servicing Agreements that, by their terms, cannot be delegated from Servicer to Subservicer; provided, that the Parties will cooperate to assure Servicer’s timely performance of such responsibilities in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements.

D. Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.A., Subservicer shall not be responsible for the results of any performance tests in the Servicing Agreements pertaining to private mortgage-backed securities transactions pursuant to which Servicer may be responsible to maintain delinquency or default ratios or losses below specified amounts, it being agreed that the foregoing shall not limit Subservicer’s obligation to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

E. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, Servicer shall remain responsible, as between Servicer and Subservicer, for losses related to Servicer’s investment in the Servicing as distinct from losses related to the performance of Subservicer’s duties under this Agreement (and the costs and expenses incident to such performance), for which Subservicer shall be responsible. Losses of the type referred to above for which Servicer shall remain responsible include, but are not limited to, the following: VA Buydowns, VA No Bids, Ineligible Expenses, Investor repurchase demands, Recourse Obligations, pool insurance premiums, trustee fees, custodian fees, guaranty fees, special hazard insurance premiums, earthquake losses, losses resulting from the absence or inadequacy of hazard insurance for a Mortgaged Property in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements (except to the extent that such a loss is subject to Subservicer’s indemnification obligations under Section 20.B.), Foreclosure losses, REO Property losses, Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances, interest shortfalls due to timing of prepayments and liquidations required under the terms of the Servicing Agreements (unless such shortfalls result from the wrongful acts or omissions of Subservicer), advances required in connection with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, interest on Escrow Funds, bank service fees and charges associated with the Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts, and other items expressly provided for herein.

Subservicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such Advances from amounts in the Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts at the time and in the manner that Servicer is entitled under Applicable Servicing Requirements.

G. Servicer and Subservicer shall provide any required notice to the Mortgagors of the transactions contemplated herein through a notice jointly prepared and delivered by Servicer and Subservicer in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements. The Parties shall cooperate to accomplish such notification in a timely and efficient manner as will best facilitate the assumption by Subservicer of the subservicing responsibilities.

3. Subservicer’s General Duties.

All Custodial Funds and Escrow Funds shall be held by and carried in records of the Subservicer as “trustee” for the Servicer, Investor and/or each Mortgagor, as applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, with the exception of Ginnie Mae servicing. Pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s guidelines, Subservicer is not permitted to be listed as a trustee on behalf of the issuer on the title of any such Custodial Account.

E. If any Applicable Servicing Requirements require the payment of interest on Escrow Funds to a Mortgagor, Subservicer will credit such interest on each such Mortgagor’s account. Additionally, to the extent that interest on Escrow Funds are voluntarily paid on Subserviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to Servicer’s Past Practices, Subservicer will credit such interest on each such Mortgagor’s account. In each case, Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer monthly for said credit of interest on Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 2.F.

When applicable, Subservicer will pay taxes to take advantage of any discount from the taxing jurisdiction, if Subservicer has been informed of a discount by the taxing jurisdiction.

G. For all Subserviced Mortgage Loans that have no provisions for the payment to and collection by Subservicer of Escrow Funds for taxes, Subservicer shall, upon notification by the applicable tax service provider, begin the appropriate notification and letter cycle and, upon its completion, if taxes are still delinquent, make Servicing Advances for any such delinquent taxes and, if possible in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, convert the Subserviced Mortgage Loan to a Subserviced Mortgage Loan requiring payment to and collection of Escrow Funds for taxes if the Mortgage so permits. Subservicer shall escalate this process in the event of a pending tax sale. Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any such Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 2.F.

H. When Custodial Funds or Escrow Funds held in a Custodial Account or Escrow Accounts are insufficient to pay amounts due to investors, taxes, assessments, property inspection fees, legal fees, mortgage insurance premiums, hazard or flood insurance premiums or other items due therefrom, or when Subservicer is required to pay any such amounts with respect to Subserviced Mortgage Loans which have no provisions for the payment to and collection by Subservicer of Escrow Funds, or when Subservicer pays any other amount in connection with any Subserviced Mortgage Loan as required or permitted pursuant to Applicable Servicing Requirements or hereunder (including, but not limited to, any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances), Subservicer shall make such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances as required by the Applicable Servicing Requirements and shall notify Servicer of such payment, and Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any such Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 2.F.

J. Assure that improvements on Mortgaged Property are insured by hazard insurance in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, provided that in all events, the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall prevail. The mortgagee clause will be reflected as running to the benefit of Servicer, its successors and assigns. Subservicer shall not be required to maintain the original insurance policy for any Subserviced Mortgage Loan delivered for subservicing. However, Subservicer shall provide evidence of insurance coverage to Servicer if a request for such proof is made to Servicer.

K. Maintain in place, at Servicer’s expense, through acceptable vendors or otherwise appropriate procedures for performing due diligence with respect to flood insurance coverage and monitoring changes in flood maps and community status changes, and take appropriate action as changes occur to ensure that Mortgaged Properties that secure Subserviced Mortgage Loans are protected by flood insurance, with no lapses of coverage, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements.

Any fees or charges permissible under Applicable Servicing Requirements and imposed by Subservicer for such services shall be for the sole benefit of and may be retained by Subservicer; provided, that any such fees or charges retained by Subservicer shall be a credit against the calculation of Direct Cost for the related Direct Cost Period in which Subservicer earns such fees and charges.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Subservicer shall be responsible for management and administration of all loan level litigation, arbitration or other proceeding before any Governmental Body, or any investigation or administrative enforcement action by any Governmental Body (“Litigation”) relating to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, Litigation related to Foreclosure, eviction, quiet title and bankruptcy filings, all costs of which shall be at Servicer’s expense (unless such costs are subject to Subservicer’s indemnification obligation in Section 20.B.). Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any out-of-pocket costs that Subservicer incurs in connection with any assistance provided to Servicer for such loan level Litigation, and any such reimbursed costs shall be excluded from the calculation of Direct Cost Per Loan for any related Direct Cost Period. Subservicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Servicer, settle or compromise any claim or any such Litigation against Servicer or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to any such Litigation, other than any such settlement involving solely the payment of money damages not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in any one (1) instance or one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate for all such settlements, during any calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for management and administration of its defense of any class action Litigation in which such Party or any of its Affiliates is a defendant; provided, however, that Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Subservicer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any class action Litigation that would materially adversely impact the manner in which the Subserviced Mortgage Loans are serviced in the future or Subservicer’s operations. Subservicer shall cooperate in obtaining or making available information or documents respecting Subserviced Mortgage Loans involved in Litigation as may be reasonably requested or required by Servicer or its counsel. Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any out-of-pocket costs that Subservicer incurs in connection with any assistance provided to Servicer for such class action Litigation (unless such costs are subject to Subservicer’s indemnification obligation in Section 20.B.), and any such reimbursed costs shall be excluded from the calculation of Direct Cost Per Loan for any related Direct Cost Period. Subservicer shall not be obligated to implement any material changes in the way it subservices

- 35 -

the Subserviced Mortgage Loans resulting from Servicer’s settlement of any Litigation; provided, that Subservicer will cooperate in good faith with Servicer to implement such requirements of settlements; and provided further, that Subservicer shall be required to effect any such material changes if Servicer shall agree to indemnify Subservicer, to the extent that such material changes would require Subservicer to perform greater obligations or undertake greater duties under this Agreement than would have otherwise been the case absent such settlement, against any incremental costs to Subservicer as a result of such greater obligations or duties which would cause Direct Cost Per Loan for any Direct Cost Period to exceed $65. To the extent that effecting any such material changes would result in Subservicer’s being unable to comply with any provisions of this Agreement relating to the manner in which the Subserviced Mortgage Loans are to be subserviced (after taking into account the indemnification provided above), Servicer shall agree to the modification of such provision to the minimum extent necessary so as to enable compliance therewith by Subservicer in light of such settlement. Prior to entering into a final settlement of any Litigation that would require Subservicer to implement material changes, Servicer agrees to consult with Subservicer in good faith to try both to establish reasonable time frames for implementation of such changes and to minimize any potential material adverse effect that the implementation of such changes may have on Subservicer.

9. Books and Records. Subservicer shall give Servicer or its authorized representative, including without limitation Servicer’s Regulators and any Agency or Investor, the opportunity at any time during its normal business hours and following reasonable prior written notice to examine Subservicer’s books and records related to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans (including, in the event of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan that is a second Mortgage Loan, any and all records pertaining to the first lien on such Mortgaged Property). Subservicer will keep records pertaining to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan and Mortgagor in such form and content as is necessary to fully satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements. Such records related to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgagors shall be the property of Servicer and, upon Servicer’s request, Subservicer shall promptly provide requested information contained in such records to Servicer as and in the form reasonably requested. Subservicer’s performance of its obligations under this Section 8 shall be at Subservicer’s sole expense, except for excessive requests. Upon termination of this Agreement, all records pertaining to the

- 36 -

Subserviced Mortgaged Loans shall be delivered to Servicer at Servicer’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Subservicer at its own expense may copy any such records before delivering them to the Servicer.

Subservicer shall maintain at its expense at all times while this Agreement is in force blanket policies of fidelity, theft, forgery and errors and omissions insurance covering all officers and employees of Subservicer acting in any capacity with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans with terms and in amounts sufficient to satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements. Subservicer shall add Servicer as a named loss payee on all such policies of insurance, and shall provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Servicer or the applicable Investor, if required, of any modification to or cancellation of such insurance policies. If requested by Servicer, Subservicer shall cause certificates evidencing the existence of such coverage to be delivered to Servicer. Subservicer shall also maintain or obtain annually certificates of coverage for blanket policies of fidelity, theft, forgery and errors and omissions insurance covering all vendors utilized in connection with the subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans in amounts sufficient to satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements.

11. Misdirected Payments.

C. With respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, Subservicer agrees to comply with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other Applicable Law applicable to the privacy and security of nonpublic personal information (“NPI”), and implement measures consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and Applicable Servicing Requirements to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of Mortgagor records and information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or exposure to the security or integrity of such records; (iii) guard against unauthorized access to use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to a Mortgagor; (iv) adopt and maintain reasonable procedures, as well as train its employees, to protect the security, confidentiality, and privacy of Mortgagors’ NPI including without limitation in connection with the disposal of NPI; and (v) not sell, transfer, rent or disclose to any third parties Mortgagors’ NPI, except for the limited purposes expressly set forth in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by Servicer.

D. Subservicer complies with the data security regulatory standards required by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In addition, Subservicer complies with the data security regulatory standards required by any Regulator. Subservicer routinely tests its infrastructure, including perimeter assets, systems and networks on not less than an annual basis; security programs to monitor, manage and report data security are conducted on a monthly basis. Upon reasonable prior notice, Servicer may request information and conduct follow-up interviews about the measures Subservicer employs to safeguard confidential and customer information. If Subservicer detects, discovers, or is notified that an incident resulted in, or could result in, unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration of, or access to confidential or customer information, including a security breach of its computer system or its physical facilities, Subservicer will promptly notify Servicer and

- 38 -

will provide Servicer with such information it may need in order to allow Servicer to meet its customer notification requirements. Subservicer will also preserve all records and other evidence relating to the security incident. Subservicer shall use its best efforts to mitigate any damage or liability resulting from such security incident, and shall comply with the applicable SLAs and the Applicable Servicing Requirements in connection with notification, mitigation, indemnity and cure of such incident.

Subservicer has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of Subservicer are duly authorized to do so.

B. Subservicer is, or will be by the Effective Date, an approved servicer for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, an approved Ginnie Mae servicer in good standing and qualified by FHA and VA as a lender/mortgagee and servicer of FHA-insured Mortgage Loans and VA-guaranteed Mortgage Loans. If a Private Investor is the Investor for a Subserviced Mortgage Loan, Subservicer is, or will be as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, an approved originator, seller and servicer, as applicable, in good standing with such Private Investor. Subservicer has, or will obtain as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the servicer ratings with the nationally recognized ratings agencies that are required under the Servicing

- 39 -

Agreements with Private Investors or in order to maintain the rating of any securitization and as specified on Exhibit “E-1” attached hereto. Once approved, Subservicer shall at all times thereafter during the term of this Agreement maintain the foregoing approvals and ratings.

C. No approval from any local, state, or federal agency or authority must be obtained by Subservicer, other than those obtained by the Effective Date, in connection with its execution and delivery of this Agreement or in order for Subservicer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subservicer agrees to obtain any necessary approval by Investors and Insurers for the assumption of Subservicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, that Servicer will cooperate with Subservicer as reasonably requested to obtain such approvals.

D. During the Term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, Subservicer shall comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements in connection with its subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, subservicing the Subserviced Mortgage Loans in such a manner to enable Subservicer to provide disclosures, assessments of compliance and attestations and annual independent auditors’ assessments of the Subservicer’s performance. Subservicer shall perform its obligations as set forth in the Regulation AB Addendum executed by Servicer and Subservicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” to the extent necessary for compliance with Applicable Servicing Requirements. If and to the extent that Subservicer actually knows, discovers or determines at any time during the Term of this Agreement that, in performing its duties under this Agreement, Subservicer is in violation of the Applicable Servicing Requirements in any material respect, Subservicer shall promptly notify Servicer in writing of such violation.

E. Subservicer shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, enter into any agreement or arrangement pursuant to which Subservicer shall assign or any third party or parties shall assume Subservicer’s obligations with respect to the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans. Further, Subservicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Servicer, enter into any agreement or arrangement with any third party or parties with respect to the performance of any material function related to the servicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans (excluding arrangements or agreements in effect as of the Effective

- 40 -

Date or the delegation of customary ancillary duties that do not constitute servicing); provided, that, with respect to any agreement or arrangement entered into by Subservicer in compliance with this Section 13.E. (i) any such arrangement or agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Subservicer shall remain at all times obligated and liable for the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans on the terms provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such agreement or arrangement shall comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, including without limitation all requirements of any Governmental Body or Regulator having jurisdiction over Servicer or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans.

F. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Subservicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Subservicer, which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Subservicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Subservicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Subservicer, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Subservicer contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder.

G. During the Term of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Parties, Subservicer shall not, and shall cause its employees not to, solicit Mortgagors with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans for any purpose (other than in the performance of Subservicer’s obligations with respect to loss mitigation under this Agreement), including without limitation a refinancing of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan, the origination of a mortgage loan secured by another Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor, or the sale of optional insurance or any other banking or financial products or services; provided, however, that the following shall not constitute solicitation and shall not violate this covenant: (i) mass advertising or mailings (such as placing advertisements on television, on radio, in magazines or in newspapers or including messages in billing statements) that are not primarily directed towards the Mortgagors, and (ii) a solicitation for financial services to Mortgagors with whom Subservicer or an affiliate has a customer relationship unrelated to the Subserviced Mortgage

- 41 -

Loan. Subservicer shall refer any written or oral requests received from a Mortgagor for a replacement or new mortgage loan, optional insurance or any other banking or financial product or service to Servicer as promptly as practicable but not later than two (2) Business Days after Subservicer receives any such request or, if agreed by the Parties in writing, Subservicer shall fulfill such request on Servicer’s behalf and in Servicer’s name.

H. Subservicer will maintain at all time during the Term a disaster recovery plan that complies with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, including without limitation any regulations and Orders of any Regulator. Subservicer will provide Servicer or its Regulator a copy upon request at Subservicer’s expense. Any updates to the disaster recovery plan shall be provided to Servicer within thirty (30) days of such update. The plan will be audited and tested at least once every twelve (12) months or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Laws, including without limitation any regulations and Orders of any Regulator. Subservicer shall not diminish or eliminate the level of service provided pursuant to this Agreement under the disaster recovery plan without Servicer’s prior written consent. In addition, Subservicer shall: (a) provide Servicer with a copy of any future third party certification report(s) that review and/or certify the disaster recovery plan when such report(s) is made available to Subservicer and (b) upon Servicer’s requests from time to time, allow Servicer, its Regulator or their agents on a semi-annual basis to review the disaster recovery plan procedures.

14. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Servicer. Servicer represents, warrants and covenants with Subservicer, as of the date hereof, or such other date as specified below, as follows:

A. Servicer is validly existing as a national banking organization organized under the federal laws of the United States and has and will have all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as conducted during the Term of this Agreement. Subject to federal preemption of Applicable Laws, Seller has in full force and effect (without notice of possible suspension, revocation or impairment) all applicable qualifications, permits, approvals, licenses, and registrations to conduct all activities in all states in which its activities with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or related servicing rights require it to

- 42 -

be qualified or licensed, except where the failure of Servicer to possess such qualifications, licenses, permits, approvals and registrations would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Subservicer or Servicer to enforce any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Servicer has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement. The individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of Servicer are duly authorized to do so.

B. Servicer is an approved servicer for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, an approved Ginnie Mae servicer in good standing and is qualified by FHA and VA as a lender/mortgagee and servicer of FHA-insured Mortgage Loans and VA-guaranteed Mortgage Loans. If a Private Investor is the Investor for a Subserviced Mortgage Loan to be subserviced hereunder, and if required for the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, Servicer is an approved servicer in good standing with such Private Investor. Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain the foregoing approvals.

C. Except as set forth on Exhibit “E-2”, no approval from any Investor, or any local, state, or federal agency or authority must be obtained by Servicer, other than those obtained by the Effective Date, in connection with its execution and delivery of this Agreement or in order for Servicer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Servicer shall, at its expense, be responsible for compliance with any state, Investor, and Insurer requirements applicable to the assumption by Subservicer of its responsibilities under this Agreement, including without limitation obtaining all necessary state, if applicable, Investor and Insurer consents or approvals as may be required by the Servicing Agreements and Applicable Servicing Requirements.

D. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Servicer’s Knowledge, threatened against the Servicer, which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or which would be likely to

- 43 -

impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder, or materially and adversely affect the servicing obligations with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans.

E. Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Subservicer as requested by Subservicer, in carrying out Subservicer’s covenants, agreements, duties, and responsibilities under this Agreement and, in connection therewith, Servicer shall execute and deliver, at Servicer’s expense, all such papers, documents and instruments set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and as may otherwise be necessary and appropriate in furtherance thereof including without limitation appropriate Powers of Attorney as requested by Subservicer. Servicer agrees to comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements. Servicer shall perform its obligations as set forth in the Regulation AB Addendum executed by Servicer and Subservicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” to the extent necessary for compliance with Applicable Servicing Requirements.

F. Servicer shall provide to Subservicer, at Servicer’s expense: all Mortgage Loan Documents and other applicable documentation for each Subserviced Mortgage Loan to enable Subservicer to maintain the Subserviced Mortgage Loan on Subservicer’s mortgage loan servicing system and related surrounding and supplemental systems and applications. All such documentation shall be delivered to Subservicer upon the Effective Date. Any files associated with quality control audits and any associated record keeping retained by Servicer shall be available to Subservicer within a reasonable time following request. In connection with the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be effected in connection with the closing of the sale of certain assets of the Business by means of Subservicer’s occupancy and rental of FHHL’s Headquarters (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) as of the Closing Date.

G. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Servicer, or within such earlier time period as may be necessary to allow Subservicer the opportunity to take action to protect the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the Mortgage or to take such other action as may be required in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, and to avoid fines, penalties and the like, Servicer shall promptly notify Subservicer whenever it receives actual notice of any liens, bankruptcies, condemnations, probate proceedings, tax sales, partitions, local

- 44 -

ordinance violations, condemnations or proceedings in eminent domain that could impair the security of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan, or of vacancy, waste or vandalism of or to the Mortgaged Property.

H. Servicer agrees to cause its directors or their authorized designees to appoint the employees of Subservicer set forth on Exhibit “K” as officers of Servicer in the capacities set forth therein solely for the purpose of performing Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement, such appointment to remain in effect during the Term of this Agreement; provided, however, that should the persons appointed by the authorized officers cease to serve as employees of Subservicer for any reason whatsoever, Servicer agrees to cause its authorized officers, as appropriate, to remove such persons as officers of Servicer and to appoint a substitute or substitutes acceptable to both Parties.

I. Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify the applicable taxing authorities (except as such is handled through the tax service company) and Insurers of the assumption of the subservicing responsibilities by Subservicer and include instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as the case may be, to Subservicer or the applicable tax service provider, as the case may be.

J. Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify all foreclosure attorneys and trustees under Mortgage Instruments who, on the Effective Date, are providing legal or foreclosure-related services to or on behalf of Servicer in connection with pending foreclosures involving one or more of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, of the transfer of the subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans to Subservicer.

K. Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify all bankruptcy trustees of the assumption of Subservicer’s subservicing obligations under this Agreement.

L. Each Subserviced Mortgage Loan has a fully paid, freely transferable, verified life of loan flood tracking service contract with Federal Flood Certification Corporation.

M. If any Subserviced Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a Federal Emergency Management Agency designated special flood hazard area, then

- 45 -

(to the extent required by Applicable Servicing Requirements), flood insurance policies are in full force and effect in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements or are insured through Servicer’s “gap coverage” flood insurance policy, or Servicer is in the process of obtaining or will obtain forced place insurance in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements.

N. All Mortgaged Properties are currently insured against fire and have extended coverage insurance, including coverage for perils customary in the geographic area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, in the amounts required by the Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements; all insurance premiums on such insurance policies have been paid in a timely manner; and there have been no fire losses on the Mortgaged Properties where Servicer’s estimate of loss is materially greater than the net recovery from the fire insurance carrier or Servicer is in the process of obtaining or will obtain forced place insurance in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements. To Servicer’s Knowledge, there have been no fire losses on any Mortgaged Property as to which there is a pending coinsurance claim.

O. All terms, conditions, agreements and other arrangements between Servicer and each Investor with respect to the servicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans are set forth in the Servicing Agreements provided to Subservicer, and such Servicing Agreements are true, correct and complete. Servicer has complied in all respects with all of its contractual obligations under each Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that any such failure to comply would not have, individually, or in the aggregate, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Servicer may in its discretion consent to the amendment of any of the terms of any Servicing Agreement; provided, that if and to the extent that any such amendments would materially increase Subservicer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and to the extent that such consent may legally be withheld by Servicer, Servicer shall first obtain the prior written consent of Subservicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

- 46 -

P. All payments into and disbursements from and calculations with respect to Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts have been executed and performed in compliance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements pertaining generally to the type, size or capitalization of depository institutions qualified to hold such balances of Investors, Insurers and governmental authorities, Servicer has the right and power to determine the financial institutions in which the Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts are held and is not bound by any agreement that would limit the Servicer’s ability to move any Custodial Accounts or Escrow Accounts to any other financial institutions. All Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts are maintained in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements in all material respects.

Q. All calculations required to be made by the Servicer with respect to the amount of principal, interest, payments of Escrow Funds and other amounts due and owing by a Mortgagor from time to time under each Subserviced Mortgage Loan have been made in compliance with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where failure to do so would not have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. All invoices transmitted to the Mortgagors by the Servicer for principal, interest, payments of Escrow Funds and all other amounts due and payable under each Subserviced Mortgage Loan have been prepared, and the funds collected from the Mortgagors have been applied for the payment of such amounts, in compliance with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where failure to do so would not have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan.

R. All Pools have been certified, finally certified and recertified (if required) in accordance in all material respects with all Applicable Servicing Requirements.

S. Each Subserviced Mortgage Loan was originated, sold and securitized, as applicable, in compliance with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, Applicable Laws and Accepted Servicing Practices, except where such lack of compliance would not have a

- 47 -

material adverse effect on the ability of Subservicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of Subservicer or Servicer to enforce any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. The Service Quality Indicators set forth on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto are true, accurate and complete in all material respects. If and to the extent that Servicer actually knows, discovers or determines at any time during the Term of this Agreement that Servicer was, prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, in violation of the Applicable Servicing Requirements in any material respect, Subservicer shall promptly notify Servicer in writing of such violation.

15. Compensation to Subservicer; Make Whole Payments. For providing the services set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration provided by Subservicer, it is agreed that:

A. Subservicer shall be paid the Subservicing Fee, calculated and paid as and when provided in Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

B. Subject to the Cap, in the event that, for any Direct Cost Period during the Term, (i) Direct Cost Per Loan exceeds $65.00 and (ii) Servicer fails to maintain as of the end of such Direct Cost Period the minimum number of Subserviced Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit “H”, Servicer shall pay to Subservicer a Make Whole Payment with respect to such Direct Cost Period. Make Whole Payments, if applicable, shall be calculated in arrears and shall be paid as described on Exhibit “B”.

C. As a condition precedent to Servicer’s obligation to pay any Make Whole Payment with respect to any Direct Cost Period (other than as required as an alternative to the Early Termination Fee in Section 18.C.): (i) Subservicer shall have maintained the service levels specified in the SLAs set forth on Exhibit “D-1” during the related Direct Cost Period in all material respects; provided, that Subservicer’s failure to so maintain such service levels during any Direct Cost Period shall not excuse Servicer’s obligation to pay any Make Whole Payment if Servicer’s historic Servicer Quality Indicators set forth on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto are not true, accurate and complete in all material respects; (ii) no breach by Subservicer exists on the date that a Make Whole Payment is due which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach by Subservicer of this Agreement for which Servicer may

- 48 -

terminate this Agreement; and (iii) the closing of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Servicing Rights on the Closing Date shall have occurred. Further, for any Direct Cost Period in which, as a result of Subservicer’s flow or bulk sales or acquisition activities, the composition and quality of the Owned Servicing Rights Loans materially changes from the composition and quality of the Mortgage Loans originated by Servicer during the ninety (90) days preceding the Effective Date, taken as a whole, to the extent that such material change in composition and quality would cause Servicer to pay a Make Whole Payment or an increased Make Whole Payment as a result of an increase in Direct Cost Per Loan, then, in determining the amount of any such Make Whole Payment, the Parties shall exclude any increase in Direct Cost for such Direct Cost Period resulting from such material changes. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Parties’ intention that any such material changes shall not extinguish Servicer’s obligation to make a Make Whole Payment except to the extent of the financial impact on Direct Cost resulting from such material changes. If at any time during the Term, as a result of one or more Bulk Sales (as defined in Section 16) by Servicer to Subservicer, the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans include an additional 175,000 Mortgage Loans exclusive of the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans on the Closing Date, then Servicer shall have no further obligation to pay any Make Whole Payment.

D. In the event that there is a material change or changes in Applicable Laws or Applicable Servicing Requirements and a resulting material adverse change in any Direct Cost, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and enter into good faith negations to determine what, if any, amendments to this Agreement may need to be effected with respect to the definition of Direct Cost in order to preserve the intent of the Parties.

16. Right of First Look. Prior to commencing to offer the Servicing with respect to all or any portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans for sale from time to time during the Term (a “Bulk Sale”) to any third party, Servicer shall notify Subservicer in writing and shall first offer Subservicer the opportunity to submit a written offer in connection with the Bulk Sale. Servicer shall provide and make available to Subservicer the same information related to the related Subserviced Mortgage Loans as Servicer will provide and make available to other third party prospective bidders for consideration, and Subservicer shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of Servicer’s notice to provide a written offer to Servicer with respect

- 49 -

to the Bulk Sale. If Servicer fails to receive Subservicer’s written offer or elects to reject an offer submitted by Subservicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, Servicer may offer such Bulk Sale to other third parties without any further obligation to Subservicer in connection with such Bulk Sale other than as set forth herein with respect to the partial termination of this Agreement related to such Subserviced Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that Servicer will involve Subservicer in such third party marketing process.

17. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end at the close of business on the last day of the twelfth (12^th) Direct Cost Period, or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day; provided, however, that Servicer and Subservicer may earlier terminate this Agreement in whole or in part as permitted in Sections 18 and 19 below.

18. Termination by Servicer.

A. Servicer may, by written notice to Subservicer, terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or with respect to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans to the extent the following relates to such portion:

(i) For Cause. Cause shall mean (a) Subservicer fails to perform its obligations or breaches its covenants hereunder and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer of such failure of performance or breach, unless the Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Law require cure within a shorter time period and, in such case, within the time period prescribed therein; provided, however, if Subservicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional sixty (60) days as long as Servicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (b) any representation or warranty of Subservicer is breached and Subservicer does not cure such breach within sixty (60) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer; provided, however, if Subservicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days as long as Servicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to

- 50 -

cure; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to Subservicer, or a decree or Order of an appropriate court, Governmental Body or Regulator for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator shall have been entered against Subservicer and such appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty calendar days; or any such proceeding continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any such proceeding; (d) any assignment or attempted assignment by Subservicer of this Agreement in violation of Section 23 or (e) an Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loans as a result of any event or occurrence described in the preceding clauses; provided, however, that any such termination shall be effective only with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans subserviced for such Investor or Regulator;

(ii) In any event and without Cause at any time during the Term upon at least ninety (90) calendar days’ written notice from Servicer to Subservicer, or

(iii) In the event an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loans subserviced under this Agreement other than for Cause.

B. Servicer shall identify, in its written notice, those Subserviced Mortgage Loans as to which termination shall be effective if termination relates to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and not to the Agreement in its entirety. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects with respect to the continued subservicing of Subserviced Mortgage Loans not subject to such partial termination. Upon termination of the Agreement under this Section 18, Subservicer shall, at Subservicer’s expense if such termination is in accordance with Section 18.A(i), or at Servicer’s expense if such termination is in accordance with Section 18.A(ii) or Section 18.A.(iii), and in all cases in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, with respect to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan as to which termination is effective: (i) account for and turn over to Servicer (or its designee) all funds collected under such Subserviced Mortgage Loan, less only the compensation then due Subservicer and unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by Subservicer,

- 51 -

(ii) advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as directed by Servicer, (iii) promptly deliver to Servicer, Investor (or their designees), as directed by Servicer, all records and documents relating to such Subserviced Mortgage Loan that it may have in its possession, and (iv) if applicable, notify the applicable Investor, Insurer or other party as required under the terms of any securitization on Servicer’s behalf of such termination in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, and (v) otherwise assist in the orderly transfer and conversion of the servicing of the terminated Subserviced Mortgage Loan from Subservicer’s systems to Servicer or its designee and, in connection therewith, take all such actions as may be reasonably requested by Servicer or its designee. If applicable, Servicer also shall be obligated to advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as applicable.

C. If Servicer terminates this Agreement in full with respect to all remaining Subserviced Mortgage Loans at any time during the Term pursuant to Section 18.A.(ii) or Section 18.A.(iii) above, Servicer shall, subject to the Cap, either (i) pay Subservicer the related Early Termination Fee for the applicable Direct Cost Period or (ii) continue to pay Make Whole Payments for the Direct Cost Periods remaining during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Servicer shall have no obligation to pay the Early Termination Fee as a result of Servicer’s sale of any portion of the servicing rights with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, but shall have the obligation to pay an Early Termination Fee only for termination in full of this Agreement as set forth in the preceding sentence. In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, if at any time during the Term, as a result of one or more Bulk Sales (as defined in Section 16) by Servicer to Subservicer, the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans include an additional 175,000 Mortgage Loans exclusive of the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans on the Closing Date, then Servicer shall have no further obligation to pay any Early Termination Fee.

- 52 -

19. Termination by Subservicer.

A. Subservicer may, by written notice to Servicer, terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or with respect to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans to the extent the following relates to such portion:

(i) For Cause. Cause shall mean that (a) Servicer fails to perform its obligations or breaches its covenants hereunder and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice by Subservicer to Servicer of such failure of performance or breach, unless the Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Law require cure within a shorter time period and, in such case, within the time period prescribed therein, provided, however, if Servicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional sixty (60) days as long as Subservicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (b) any representation or warranty of Servicer is breached, and Subservicer does not cure such breach within sixty (60) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer, provided, however, if Servicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days as long as Subservicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to Servicer, or a decree or Order of an appropriate court, Governmental Body or Regulator for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator shall have been entered against Servicer, and such appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days; or any such proceeding continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any such proceeding; (d) any assignment or attempted assignment by Servicer of this Agreement in violation of Section 26; or (e) an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loans as a result of any event or occurrence described in the preceding clauses; provided, however, that any such termination shall be effective only with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans subserviced for such Investor;

- 53 -

(ii) In the event an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loans subserviced under this Agreement other than for Cause.

Subservicer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement without cause during the Term.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination by Subservicer pursuant to Section 19.A(i) or Section 19.A.(ii) shall not be effective unless and until a successor subservicer is appointed and the Subserviced Mortgage Loans have been transferred to and accepted by such successor subservicer. Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain a successor subservicer as promptly as possible if required by an applicable Servicing Agreement.

C. Upon a termination pursuant to Section 19.A (i) or Section 19.A.(ii), Subservicer shall identify, in its written notice, those Subserviced Mortgage Loans as to which termination shall be effective if termination relates to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and not to the Agreement in its entirety. In the event of such partial termination, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects with respect to the continued subservicing of Subserviced Mortgage Loans not subject to such partial termination; provided, that Servicer shall have no obligation to pay an Early Termination Fee or any Make Whole Payment related to any Direct Cost Period following the effective date of Subservicer’s partial or full termination of this Agreement other than for Cause. Except as set forth herein, any termination by the Subservicer shall terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Upon termination of the Agreement under this Section 19, Subservicer shall, at Subservicer’s expense if such termination was pursuant to Section 19.A(ii), and at Servicer’s expense if such termination was pursuant to Section 19.A(i) or if such termination results from the expiration of the Term, and in all cases in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, with respect to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan as to which termination is effective: (i) account for and turn over to Servicer (or its designee) all funds collected under such Subserviced Mortgage Loan, less only the compensation then due Subservicer and unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by Subservicer, (ii) advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Mortgage Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as directed by

- 54 -

Servicer, (iii) promptly deliver to Servicer, Investor (or their designees), as directed by Servicer, all records and documents relating to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan that it may have in its possession, and (iv) otherwise assist in the orderly transfer and conversion of the servicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loan from Subservicer’s systems to Servicer or its designee and, in connection therewith, take all such actions as may be reasonably requested by Servicer or its designee. Subservicer also shall be obligated to advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as applicable.

23. Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of that court are heard) as to any dispute or claim as to which there is subject matter jurisdiction in that court and, for all other disputes or claims, the Parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of that court are heard) over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

26. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

- 61 -

consolidates without the prior written consent of Servicer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided such assignee meets the requirements of any Servicing Agreement or Applicable Servicing Requirements with respect to eligibility to subservice the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such assignee assumes all of the obligations of the Subservicer under this Agreement and provided, further, that notwithstanding any assignment by Subservicer to an Affiliate, Subservicer shall remain at all times obligated and liable for the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans on the terms provided in this Agreement.

31. Force Majeure. Subservicer shall not be liable for any delay at any time in performing its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent that (i) such delay is due to a cause beyond Subservicer’s reasonable control, (ii) Subservicer is without fault in causing such delay, and (iii) such delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the Subservicer through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means; provided, that Subservicer shall use its best efforts to re-commence performance in accordance with the terms of Subservicer’s disaster recovery plan and the timeframes and procedures set forth therein.

32. Time of Payment.
