     (b) Subservicer shall provide Fannie Mae with written notice, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt, of any written complaint with respect to the Mortgage Loans, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Fannie Mae’s reputation or financial condition, assuming the allegations in such complaint were true. Subservicer will provide Fannie Mae, at Fannie Mae’s request, with a report of such written complaints by type. On a monthly basis, Subservicer will provide Fannie Mae with a record of all material written complaints, including a summary of the issue and resolution, together with the date received and resolved.

     Subservicer shall arrange for all transferable tax monitoring contracts to be transferred from Prior Servicer to Subservicer.

     Subject to Applicable Requirements, all books, records, documents, files, and other information and data in Subservicer’s possession pertaining to the Assets and Servicing Rights, including all documents, records and reports relating to any mortgage-backed security in which the Mortgage Loans are contained, are and shall at all times remain the property of Fannie Mae.

Subservicer shall comply with Applicable Requirements and follow all required procedures of Document Custodian generally applicable to Servicers in requesting Custody Documents and otherwise with respect to Custody Documents.
     (c) Subservicer shall send requests for Custody Documents directly to the Document Custodian. Subservicer shall hold and maintain Custody Documents in its possession using the same care and diligence it would give such documents related to mortgage loans it owns for its own accounts, in trust for Fannie Mae and subject to Section 2.12.
     (d) Subservicer shall provide the Document Custodian with copies or originals of any confirmations, agreements, assignments, documents, opinions, instructions, and information relating to this Agreement or to the transactions and responsibilities contemplated hereby, as required by Applicable Requirements or as Fannie Mae or Document Custodian may from time to time reasonably request.
     (e) Subservicer shall monitor the performance of the Document Custodian with respect to timely delivery of Mortgage Files and other key performance indicators as Fannie Mae may specify, and promptly notify Fannie Mae upon discovery, or upon receipt of notice, of Document Custodian’s failure to comply with the Guide or any performance requirements generally applicable to document custodians.
     (f) If Fannie Mae decides to change the Document Custodian with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Subservicer shall reasonably cooperate with Fannie Mae and use its best efforts to comply with Fannie Mae’s instructions in connection therewith.
          Section 2.13 Advances
     Except as provided in subsections (a)-(g) of this Section 2.13, the obligations of Subservicer pursuant to this Agreement shall include the obligation to make Advances on each Mortgage Loan in the normal course of servicing and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Subservicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, pursue such reimbursements in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
     (a) Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any requirements of the Servicing Agreement to the contrary with respect to Advance requirements for “Scheduled/Actual” and “Scheduled/Scheduled” remittances of principal and interest, Subservicer (i) shall not be obligated to remit to Fannie Mae any amounts representing “scheduled” principal or interest payments that have not been collected by Subservicer, and (ii) shall be obligated to remit Standard Remittances at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Draft Date by wire transfer to a separate Fannie Mae trust account, designated from time to time by Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae and Subservicer agree to negotiate in good faith and within 10 days of execution of this Agreement determine and document ongoing responsibility for the payment of amounts of interest required to be paid to Investor pursuant the Applicable Requirements due to shortfalls in

5


 

interest collected as a result of prepayments in full and partial prepayments/curtailments of Mortgage Loans.
     In addition to any required reporting obligations in the Servicing Agreement applicable to remittance of principal and interest, Subservicer shall deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee reports or loan level listings, in a format acceptable to Fannie Mae, containing the data and within the time periods identified in Exhibit C-1 (“Data Dictionary”) to this Agreement (as such Exhibit may be modified by Fannie Mae in writing from time to time with notice to Subservicer).
     (b) Escrow/Corporate/Other. Not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of each calendar month, Subservicer shall deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee reports or loan level listings of Eligible Corporate Advances, Eligible Escrow Advances, Guaranty Fee Advances, Excess Yield Advances, and LPMI Advances, in a format acceptable to Fannie Mae, containing (i) the data identified in Exhibit C-1 to this Agreement (as such Exhibit may be modified by Fannie Mae in writing from time to time with notice to Subservicer) and (ii) the applicable information and codes required by Fannie Mae Form 571 (Cash Disbursement Request). Upon receipt of such data and other information, Fannie Mae and/or its designee will reconcile the same within five (5) Business Days. If following any such reconciliation Fannie Mae determines that an amount is due and owing by Fannie Mae to Subservicer, within one (1) Business Day such amount shall be reimbursed to Subservicer by Fannie Mae, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the 18th day of the month. If, following any such reconciliation, or at any time, Fannie Mae determines that an amount is due and owing by Subservicer to Fannie Mae, such amount shall be reimbursed to Fannie Mae by Subservicer not later than three (3) Business Days after notification. Subservicer shall deposit such amounts into an “Advance Recovery” or such other account as Fannie Mae may establish and designate from time to time. For any amounts which cannot be reconciled, Fannie Mae will reimburse Subservicer in the next reporting cycle following receipt from Subservicer of data or information necessary to reconcile such amounts.
Subservicer shall also deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee the following information within ten (10) days of the date of any reimbursement by Fannie Mae pursuant to this subsection, (i) electronic and hard copies of T&I Custodial Account Analysis (Form 496a) as provided in the Guide, and (ii) a report from the entity providing tax monitoring services with penalty and interest information applicable to the Mortgage Loans. Subservicer shall also provide reconciliations and supporting documentation (including sample invoices upon request) of general ledger receivables applicable to Eligible Corporate Advances within forty five (45) days of the end of each calendar quarter.
     (c) Reimbursement. If Subservicer collects or receives funds attributable to Advances for which Subservicer has been reimbursed by Fannie Mae, Subservicer shall within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such funds deposit all such amounts into an “Advance Recovery” or such other account as Fannie Mae may establish and designate from time to time. Not later than two (2) Business Days of the deposit of such funds, Subservicer shall generate and deliver to Fannie Mae or its designee a record or report, in a format acceptable to Fannie Mae, (the “Recoveries File”) itemizing all such amounts deposited into this “Advance Recovery” account including the applicable information and codes required by Fannie Mae Form 571 (the “Cash Disbursement Request”). Subservicer shall not have any right of offset or netting

6


 

regarding such amounts. Claim payments will be remitted via ACH to the Fannie Mae “Advance Recovery” account.
     (d) Additional Information. Notwithstanding the requirements for reimbursement of Advances made by Subservicer as provided above, if Fannie Mae or its designee subsequently requires electronic data, or other information or documentation not previously provided by Subservicer, including invoices, to establish that Advances made by Subservicer are eligible for collection pursuant to Applicable Requirements or to obtain reimbursement of such Advances from a third party, Subservicer shall provide such materials within ten (10) Business Days of Fannie Mae’s request, and Subservicer shall reimburse Fannie Mae for any such Advances made by Subservicer that Fannie Mae or its designee is unable to collect due to a failure of Subservicer to provide such data, information or documentation.
     (e) Prior Servicer. Notwithstanding the Applicable Requirements or any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Subservicer shall have no responsibility to advance any amounts that were advanced by Prior Servicer as of the Transfer Date in connection with an Asset and in accordance with Applicable Requirements, including, without limitation, principal, interest, taxes, ground rents, assessments, insurance premiums and other costs, fees and expenses. Fannie Mae shall be responsible for making any such advances based upon a detailed report in a form reasonably acceptable to Fannie Mae, and upon request loan boarding information. Subservicer shall be responsible for reconciliation of all Advances with the Prior Servicer as provided in Section 4.3(c).
     (f) Form 571. Notwithstanding as otherwise provided by Applicable Requirements and the Fannie Mae Form 571 Reference Guide, Subservicer shall submit to Fannie Mae a Form 571 when a Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and again, if applicable, upon disposition of an REO Property. All Form 571 claims must be submitted to Fannie Mae within thirty (30) days of the Mortgage Loan liquidation and/or REO Property sale date and must use Subservicer’s Fannie Mae seller/servicer number associated with the applicable Asset. Supplemental Form 571 claims may be filed for a period of ninety (90) days of the applicable liquidation or disposition date on any claim which has been rejected or curtailed by Fannie Mae. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is good faith dispute with regard to any Form 571 claim, the parties will work together to resolve the dispute. Subservicer will post Form 571 claim payments to its system as non-cash transactions and provide the itemized detail in the Data Dictionary. Advances for which Fannie Mae has reimbursed Subservicer will be re-paid to Fannie Mae by Subservicer within ninety (90) days of the liquidation or disposition date, as applicable. Advances on curtailed Form 571 claims for which Fannie Mae has reimbursed Subservicer will be re-paid by Subservicer to Fannie Mae within ninety (90) days of notice of curtailment, unless otherwise agreed to by Fannie Mae. Advances on rejected Form 571 claims for which Fannie Mae has reimbursed Subservicer will be re-paid by Subservicer to Fannie Mae within ninety (90) days of notice of rejection. The failure by Subservicer to use proper Form 571 codes shall be cause for rejection of the applicable claim.
     (g) Excess Servicing. Subservicer understands that certain of the Mortgage loans may constitute SMBS Mortgage Loans as defined herein. Subservicer will deposit as soon as practicable, but not later than the second Business Day after receipt by the Subservicer, that portion of each borrower’s monthly payment on the SMBS Mortgage Loans that represents

7


 

Excess Yield in a custodial account to be established for the benefit of certificateholders in compliance with the requirements set forth in Fannie Mae Forms 1013 and 1072 or as otherwise directed by Fannie Mae (the “Excess Yield Custodial Account”). At least one (1) day prior to drafting (a “Fee Drafting Date”) any Excess Yield from the Excess Yield Custodial Account, Fannie Mae will notify Subservicer of the monthly aggregate Excess Yield amount (the “Excess Yield Remittance Amount”) which will be drafted from the Excess Yield Custodial Account, and Subservicer has the obligation to make advances to ensure that the Excess Yield Custodial Account contains the Excess Yield Remittance Amount, even if such amounts have not been actually collected by Subservicer. The reported Excess Yield Remittance Amount will be calculated on a 30/360 basis and will equal 30 days’ interest at the applicable Excess Yield rate on the scheduled principal balance of each SMBS Mortgage Loan after giving effect to (i) scheduled principal payments due on such SMBS Mortgage Loan during the one-month due period ending on the first day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Fee Drafting Date occurs and (ii) any unscheduled principal payments collected on such SMBS Mortgage Loan during or prior to the calendar month second preceding the month in which the Fee Drafting Date occurs. In addition, if a principal prepayment in full of a SMBS Mortgage Loan that is received on the first day of a calendar month is treated by Fannie Mae for MBS purposes as if received on the last day of the preceding month, it will be treated in the same fashion for purposes of the preceding sentence. As provided in Section 2.13 (b), Subservicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of all Excess Yield deposits made pursuant to this subsection which have not been actually collected by Subservicer. In addition, Subservicer agrees to produce such other reports and perform such functions as may be required to allow Purchaser and Subservicer to service such SMBS Mortgage Loans in compliance with the documents governing such SMBS Mortgage Loans.
          Section 2.14 Loan Performance Advisor
     Subservicer shall cooperate with Fannie Mae’s loan performance advisor or other third-party surveillance consultant, if any. As applicable, immediately following the Transfer Date, Subservicer shall provide such advisor or consultant with the final transfer tape, including all information necessary to interpret or define the transfer tape data provided, as received from the Prior Servicer.
          Section 2.15 Power of Attorney
     Fannie Mae may elect to furnish Subservicer with such powers of attorney as are necessary or appropriate and with such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable Subservicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

These servicing incentives and the process by which such incentives are paid are published in the Guide and amended from time to time in Lender Announcements or Lender Letters, but may be subject to reduction by Fannie Mae following procedures customarily used by Fannie Mae in connection with its purchase of Servicing Rights from servicers and placement of servicing with subservicers, to reasonable allocate such amounts to a Prior Servicer based on its activities prior to the subservicing Transfer Date;
     (c) Subservicer shall be entitled to retain all Float Benefit, subject to Subservicer’s obligation to pay interest on Escrow Funds to the extent interest with respect thereto is required to be paid under the Applicable Requirements for the benefit of Borrowers under the Mortgage Loans.
          Section 3.3 Payments.
     (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Fannie Mae shall pay the Subservicing Fees to Subservicer within thirty five (35) days following receipt of an invoice therefor, accompanied by a report detailing the calculation of the Subservicing Fees, in a form mutually agreed to by the Parties, on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day of each month, for the current calendar month for which such fees are being earned, and Subservicer shall not have any right of offset or netting regarding such amounts.
     (b) Subservicer may retain or withdraw from the Custodial Accounts or Escrow Accounts, as applicable, Float Benefit and Ancillary Fees as permitted for a servicer pursuant to Applicable Requirements, and with respect to the Float Benefit related to the Escrow Account, subject to Subservicer’s obligation to pay interest on escrowed funds to the extent interest with respect thereto is required to be paid under the Applicable Requirements for the benefit of Borrowers under the Mortgage Loans.
     (c) At Fannie Mae’s discretion, either (i) Fannie Mae will withdraw the Servicing Fees from the Custodian Account via ACH or (ii) Subservicer shall withdraw the Servicing Fees from the Custodial Account and remit them to Fannie Mae by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Subservicer shall deliver a report detailing the calculation of the Servicing Fees, on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day of each month, for the preceding calendar month, and Subservicer shall not have any right of offset or netting regarding such amounts.

9


 

     (d) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Fannie Mae shall pay certain expenses and other amounts advanced by Subservicer which are subject to reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement within thirty five (35) days following receipt of an invoice therefor, accompanied by a report detailing the amounts due, in a form mutually agreed to by the Parties, on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day of each month, for the preceding calendar month, and Subservicer shall not have any right of offset or netting regarding such amounts.

It is not contemplated that Subservicer will store, transmit, or process payment card account numbers or authentication data in connection with the services provided pursuant to this Agreement, but if Subservicer does so in the future, Subservicer will comply with applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), or such other standards as the Parties may mutually agree to at the time. Subservicer may utilize third parties contracted by Subservicer to assist in its implementation and compliance with the foregoing.
     (iii) The effectiveness of Subservicer’s IT Security Risk Management Policies will be validated by Subservicer by means of independent assessment in a form common in the industry (an “Independent Security Assessment”), at least once during each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, starting with the first calendar year in which Subservicer has performed servicing for at least six months.

As necessary for Fannie Mae to meet its own reporting and compliance requirements, Fannie Mae will have the right to request and receive annual certifications from Subservicer regarding Subservicer’s compliance with the Privacy Laws and Fannie Mae policies.
     (f) If Fannie Mae reasonably believes that the provisions of this Section 7.3 may have been breached, then, subject to Subservicer’s reasonable security restrictions and upon reasonable notice, Fannie Mae and its representatives will have access to Subservicer personnel, books, files and affairs relating to this Agreement and the services performed by Subservicer hereunder during normal business hours at Subservicer’s offices as is reasonably necessary for Fannie Mae to obtain all information concerning compliance by Subservicer with this Section 7.3.
          Section 7.4 Duties and Responsibilities in the Case of a Breach
     (a) In the event that either Party becomes aware of an intrusion or other security breach that results in the loss, or unauthorized use, disclosure, or acquisition of, or access to the other Party’s Confidential Information (each, an “Incident”), such Party will notify the other promptly upon discovering the Incident.

     (c) If a Party reasonably determines that affected individuals must be notified of the Incident, and the Incident was due to the other Party’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Party in breach will pay for all reasonable expenses related to the investigation of the Incident, the cost of the notifications, the cost of credit monitoring services, and other customary remediation costs, including the other Party’s reasonable legal expenses, and any fines imposed by any Governmental Authority.
     (d) The Parties will reasonably cooperate to limit, stop, prevent or remediate any such loss or misuse of Confidential Information, including NPI.
ARTICLE VIII
AUDITS AND RECORDS
     Subservicer will provide Fannie Mae with commercially reasonable assistance in meeting its Audit requirements as set forth in this Article. This Article specifically supersedes any audit provisions to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement.
          Section 8.1 Audit Rights
     (a) Subject to Section 8.1(b), Fannie Mae and its agents, auditors (internal and external), other representatives and Governmental Authorities as Fannie Mae may designate in writing (collectively, “Auditors”) will have the right to inspect, examine and audit the systems, records, data, practices and procedures of Subservicer (and any of its affiliates or subcontractors) that are used in performing Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement or pertain to the performance of such obligations (collectively, “Audits”) for any of the following purposes: (i) to verify the accuracy of Subservicer’s financial statements, invoices and billing statements; (ii) to verify the integrity of Fannie Mae Confidential Information and NPI and compliance with the data privacy, data protection, confidentiality and security requirements of this Agreement; and (iii) to verify the audited party’s compliance with any other provisions of this Agreement and Applicable Requirements.
     (b) Audits will be conducted with reasonable notice during normal business hours. Subservicer (and its affiliates and subcontractors) will cooperate fully with Fannie Mae and its Auditors in conducting Audits and provide such assistance as the Auditors reasonably require to carry out the Audits, including assisting with the installation and operation of audit software, which software shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Subservicer’s IT Department. Fannie Mae will use commercially reasonable efforts to have Governmental Authorities comply with the foregoing, but a Governmental Authority’s failure to do so will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Fannie Mae.

22


 

     (c) Audits will be conducted at Fannie Mae’s expense.
     (d) If any Audit of Subservicer’s charges determines that Subservicer has incorrectly invoiced or otherwise charged any amounts to Fannie Mae, and Fannie Mae and Subservicer agree with such Audit, Subservicer will issue, on the next invoice submitted to Fannie Mae, a credit or debit, as appropriate, to correct the inaccuracy.
          Section 8.2 Audit Follow-up
     Following an Audit, Fannie Mae may provide Subservicer with a written report summarizing the Audit’s findings as to any actual or potential errors or problems affecting the performance of services under this Agreement or Fannie Mae Confidential Information or any other NPI, violations of this Agreement or other issues pertaining to Subservicer (or any of its affiliates or subcontractors involved in providing services under this Agreement) (each, an “Audit Finding”). Within 30 days after receiving a report from Fannie Mae containing Audit Findings, Subservicer will meet with Fannie Mae to discuss such Audit Finding and to mutually agree upon the appropriate manner, if any, in which to respond to the changes suggested by the Audit report.
          Section 8.3 Records
     (a) In support of Fannie Mae’s Audit rights, Subservicer will keep and maintain (i) financial records relating to this Agreement in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with Applicable Requirements; (ii) records substantiating Subservicer’s invoices and billing statements; (iii) records pertaining to Subservicer’s compliance with Applicable Requirements; (iv) records of security incidents and customer complaints; and (v) such other operational records pertaining to performance of Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement as Subservicer keeps in the ordinary course of its business. Subservicer will retain such records for the longer of two years after the termination of this Agreement or as required by Applicable Requirements. Subservicer will make copies of such records available to Auditors for examination and copying upon request subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, Subservicer’s obligations under this paragraph are in addition to, and without any derogation of, its obligations under other provisions of this Agreement to provide operational reports and records to Fannie Mae.
     (b) Upon request by Fannie Mae, Subservicer will, within a reasonable period of time, electronically deliver (unless mutually agreed otherwise) all, or a portion of, the Asset records and documents that Subservicer has responsibility for to Fannie Mae or its designee in the manner provided in the Servicing Agreement.
          Section 8.4 Subservicer Audits
     (a) Without derogating in any way from Fannie Mae’s Audit rights, Subservicer will conduct its own quality control and internal audit reviews pertaining to its performance of services under this Agreement of its general servicing operations consistent with the quality control and audit practices of well managed companies that perform similar services and in accordance with Applicable Requirements. At a minimum, Subservicer will perform an annual Independent Security Assessment as required by Section 7.2.

23


 

     (b) Subservicer shall report all results of quality control and internal audit reviews to Fannie Mae as they are produced, and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after completion, specifically including, but not limited to (i) results that pertain to the Mortgage Loans or systems, processes, protocols or procedures that are the same as, or substantially similar to, systems, processes, protocols or procedures used by Subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) [summary results solely pertaining to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans], provided, however, that in no event shall Subservicer be required to divulge loan-level information or NPI in connection with the summary results described in this clause for any Mortgage Loans which are not subserviced by Subservicer for Fannie Mae. To the extent the resulting report reveals an actual or potential material adverse effect on Fannie Mae or Borrowers, Subservicer will provide such report to Fannie Mae as soon as reasonably practicable and will include with such report Subservicer’s proposed plan to correct any errors or problems identified in the audit report as soon as reasonably possible. Fannie Mae reserves the right to contract with independent contractors to ensure Subservicer’s compliance with all applicable quality control requirements at Fannie Mae’s cost and subject to reasonable privacy, security and confidentiality requirements.
          Section 8.5 Reports Concerning Governmental Reviews
     Subservicer shall report all results of quality control, audit reviews and examinations, evaluations and reviews performed by Governmental Authorities and Insurers to Fannie Mae in accordance with Applicable Requirements, unless prohibited by law or regulation.
          Section 8.6 Further Agreements
     Subservicer is responsible for having in place with its affiliates and subcontractors that are used in performance of services under this Agreement such agreements as are necessary to give effect to Fannie Mae’s Audit rights under this Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT AND INDEMNIFICATION
          Section 9.1 Event of Default.
     (a) The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder by Subservicer:

     (ii) Subservicer commits a breach of the MSSC or Guide;
     (iii) Subservicer fails to maintain its status as an approved Fannie Mae seller/servicer; or

24


 

     (iv) Subservicer’s failure to comply with this Agreement causes or results in a breach of security with respect to any of the services provided hereunder by Subservicer that results in the unauthorized use or disclosure of any NPI.
          Section 9.2 Indemnification.
     (a) Indemnification by Subservicer. Subservicer shall indemnify and hold Fannie Mae, its directors, officers and employees, harmless from, and shall reimburse Fannie Mae, its directors, officers and employees, for, any and all Losses incurred to the extent that such Losses arise out of, relate to, or result from:
     (i) Any breach of any representation or warranty of Subservicer hereunder or the non-fulfillment of any term, covenant, condition, agreement or obligation of Subservicer set forth in this Agreement, or in any schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished pursuant hereto, or any default or failure to perform by Subservicer hereunder; or
     (ii) Any failure of Subservicer, on or after the Transfer Date, to comply with Applicable Requirements with respect to the Servicing Rights or any of the Assets.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 9.2(a), Subservicer shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold Fannie Mae harmless from and against that portion of any claim for indemnification that arises from any fact or circumstance for which Subservicer is entitled to indemnification by Fannie Mae pursuant to Section 9.2(b). Further, Fannie Mae will not enforce against Subservicer (i) claims or Losses relating to any representations and warranties made by a third party and related to the sale or origination of the Mortgage Loans, whether contained in the Servicing Agreement or otherwise; nor for (ii) any servicing deficiencies, to the extent any servicing deficiency is caused solely by any action or failure of Prior Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subservicer shall be liable for any damage or loss to Fannie Mae that is caused by Subservicer’s failure to notify Fannie Mae of such claims or Losses, take any corrective action reasonably requested by Fannie Mae, to the extent any such corrective action is reasonably able to be taken by Subservicer, or any other failure in Subservicer’s performance of its responsibilities on or after the Transfer Date.
     (b) Indemnification by Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae shall indemnify and hold Subservicer harmless from, and shall reimburse Subservicer for, all Losses incurred to the extent that such Losses arise out of, relate to, or result from the following: (i) any material breach of any representation and warranty of Fannie Mae hereunder; (ii) the non-fulfillment of any term, covenant, condition, agreement or obligation of Fannie Mae set forth in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) any acts or omissions of the Prior Servicer; (iv) a claim by a Borrower under a Mortgage Loan to the extent that such claim arises out of alleged acts or omissions of the Prior Servicer or originator concerning such Borrower’s Mortgage Loan; or (v) a claim arising from the data integrity and availability of information regarding the Mortgage Loans where such data and information was not within Subservicer’s control or possession and the claim could not have been avoided with the exercise of reasonable diligence by Subservicer.

25


 

     (c) Subservicer shall not be liable for any (i) denied reimbursements due to inability to provide supporting documentation for advances made during the tenure of any Prior Servicer, (ii) losses resulting from improper foreclosures due to an inability to provide supporting documentation which should have been provided to Subservicer by any Prior Servicer and (iii) any liability or penalties arising from an MHA-C audit, or the like, related to modifications which do not have supporting documentation which should have been provided to Subservicer by any Prior Servicer.
     (d) Notice and Settlement of Claims. Subservicer will be responsible for the management and administration of all loan level Actions relating to the Mortgage Loans, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the applicability of any other notice provisions in this Agreement, Subservicer shall provide notice of any non-routine litigation or other indemnifiable matter involving Fannie Mae, an Asset or the Servicing Rights by sending an e-mail to [specialservicernonroutine_ ***@***], or by such other means as may be reasonably requested by Fannie Mae, within ten (10) days of its receipt or knowledge thereof. provided, that if it is necessary to answer or respond to any such claim or take any other action within a shorter timeframe in order reduce the likelihood of success of such claim or the Losses that may result, Subservicer shall provide earlier notice thereof, and Fannie Mae shall have no liability for any Losses resulting from a delay in delivery of such notice by Subservicer. Such notice shall include all available information relevant to the Action or claim, as well as to the question whether a third party (such as a Prior Servicer) should be notified of and/or assume control of responding to or defending the Claim, to the extent known by Subservicer.
     Fannie Mae shall have the right to assume some or all of the control or defense of any subservicing claim or Action, including by transfer of some or all of the control or defense of such subservicing claim to a Prior Servicer or other third party. In connection therewith, Subservicer shall make available such information and assistance as Fannie Mae or such Prior Servicer or other third party may reasonably request, including any witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in Subservicer’s possession or under Subservicer’s control, at Fannie Mae’s, Prior Servicer’s or other third party’s expense.
     If Subservicer retains control over the defense of a subservicing claim or Action as permitted herein, Subservicer and Fannie Mae (and to the extent requested by Fannie Mae, the applicable Prior Servicer or other third party) shall confer in good faith, and Subservicer shall reasonably consider suggestions from Fannie Mae and its counsel regarding the control or defense of the subservicing claim or Action. The parties may jointly agree upon counsel reasonably acceptable to such parties to represent them to defend the subservicing claim, and when appropriate, shall enter into joint defense agreements for retaining joint counsel. Subservicer shall follow any directions from Fannie Mae to bill all or any portion of the Losses or any cost or expenses of the defense of such subservicing claim to a third party, provided that Fannie Mae shall remain liable for such amounts to the extent provided in this Agreement.
     Each Party to this Agreement shall promptly (but in all cases within ten (10) days and in accordance with Section 6.1(b)) notify the other Party in writing of the existence of any matter known to it giving rise to any obligation of the other Party under this Section 9.2 and, in the case of any Claim brought by a third party which may give rise to any such obligation, each Party shall promptly (but in all cases within ten (10) days and in accordance with Section 6.1(b)) notify

26


 

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. Subject to Applicable Requirements and to Section 9.2(d), the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may, at its own cost and expense, assume and control the 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, however, that the counsel is reasonably 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 third-party claim may participate at its own cost and expense. Following the full discharge of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations, the Indemnified Party shall, subject to Applicable Requirements or other requirements of Fannie Mae, assign to the Indemnifying Party any and all related claims against third parties. Subject to Applicable Requirements, promptly 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 was also reimbursed for Losses by the Indemnifying Party.
     Subject to Applicable Requirements, 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 Fannie Mae, the Insurer or other third-party claimant. Subject to Applicable Requirements, 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 (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have released in writing (or be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to have released) the Indemnifying Party from any liability with respect to such claim.
     (e) Mitigation of Losses. An Indemnified Party shall, to the extent practicable and reasonably within its control, make good faith efforts to mitigate any Losses of which it has adequate notice, provided that an Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to act in a manner which it reasonably believes is adverse to its own best interests. Subject to Applicable Requirements, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall be construed as obligating either Party to sue any third party.
     (f) Subservicer Rights and Obligations with Respect to Fannie Mae. With respect to Fannie Mae as the owner of the Mortgage Loans, Subservicer shall have all the rights and obligations of a Servicer of the Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement regarding responsibility and liability for losses, costs, expenses, damages or claims (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Fannie Mae in connection with the default or foreclosure of Mortgage Loans, other than those that occur as a result of the enumerated liabilities set forth in 9.2(b) and (c) for which Subservicer shall have no obligation.
     (g) Repurchase Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Subservicer be obligated to purchase Fannie Mae’s

27


 

interest in any Mortgage Loan, unless the repurchase obligation arises from a servicing violation by Subservicer that occurs on or after the Transfer Date.

In the event of a termination by Fannie Mae for convenience, Fannie Mae shall pay any termination fees specified on Exhibit D unless modified in the applicable Subservicing Appendix following the termination date.

No termination fees shall be payable in connection with any such termination.

     In the event a Mortgage Loan is purchased, or repurchased as the case may be, by Subservicer, Prior Servicer, or any other third party, this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and such termination will not be considered to be a termination for convenience or a termination for default. No termination fees shall be payable in connection with any such termination.
          Section 10.7 Duties Upon Termination; Transfer of Books, Records and Accounts
     (a) Regardless of the basis for termination or expiration of this Agreement (in whole or in part), commencing upon a notice of the termination of this Agreement, and continuing after the effective date of expiration or, if applicable, termination of this Agreement (as such effective date may be extended pursuant to Section 10. 8 ), Subservicer will provide reasonable assistance with the transfer of the terminated servicing to another Person in accordance with Applicable Requirements. Subservicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Fannie Mae’s costs and management time resulting from the cessation of the terminated servicing and to minimize the implementation time for the transfer of the terminated servicing to Fannie Mae and/or its successor servicer or subservicer.
     (b) Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, subject to and in accordance with Applicable Requirements and Fannie Mae’s and any successor servicer’s or subservicer’s reasonable instructions, Subservicer shall timely deliver to the successor servicer or subservicer (or at Fannie Mae’s direction, to Fannie Mae or Fannie Mae’s other designee) (i) all funds received with respect to the Assets which have not yet been remitted to Fannie Mae and an accounting for and reconciliation of all funds and accounts, (ii) all books, records, documents, files, data tapes and other information and data related to the Assets and their servicing, in an orderly manner, and (iii) confirmation that the identity of the servicer or subservicer of the Mortgage Loans registered with MERS has been changed to the successor servicer or subservicer. Such transfers and actions shall be at Subservicer’s expense, unless this Agreement is terminated by Fannie Mae in accordance with Section 10.2(a).
          Section 10.8 Extension of Expiration or Termination Date
     Subservicer acknowledges that the services provided under this Agreement are vital to Fannie Mae and must continue without interruption during any transition period (except as otherwise directed by Fannie Mae) if Fannie Mae decides to perform such services itself or engage a successor servicer or subservicer to perform them, or to provide an orderly wind-down of servicing in the event of a partial or complete cessation or termination of servicing with respect to any or all Assets. To provide for the orderly completion of any such transition, Fannie Mae will have the right to extend the effective date of termination or expiration one or more times as it elects, in its discretion, provided that the total of all such extensions shall not exceed 90 days following the effective date of termination or expiration in place immediately prior to the initial extension under this Section. Fannie Mae will use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise this option by so notifying Subservicer at least 30[, but in no event less than twenty (20),] days before the impending expiration or termination date.

29
