of all records and documents with respect to the related Eligible Mortgage Loan

maintained by the Servicer, in trust, at the will of the Agent (on behalf of the
Principals) and only in such custodial capacity. The Servicer's master data
processing records shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the transfer
of the related Eligible Mortgage Loans to the Agent (on behalf of the
Principals). The Custodian shall only release its custody of the contents of any

(a)  From and after each related Purchase Date, all rights arising with respect
to the Eligible Mortgage Loans transferred (not including (i) servicing rights
with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans, which shall be retained by the
Servicer subject to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement or (ii) the Seller's
obligation to fund future advances for any HELOC pursuant to the related Home
Equity Line Agreement up to the Credit Limit) pursuant to any Transaction Notice
including but not limited to all funds received on or in connection with the
Eligible Mortgage Loans, shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for
the benefit of the Agent (on behalf of the Principals and shall be applied in
accordance with Section 6 of the Repurchase Agreement). Pursuant to the

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a
complete set of books and records for each Eligible Mortgage Loan which shall be

Agent (on behalf of the Principals). In particular, the Servicer shall maintain
in its possession, available for inspection by the Agent, the Principals or
their respective designees, evidence of compliance with applicable laws, rules
and regulations. To the extent that original documents are not required for
purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, VA Guaranty

Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable
means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical

Guidelines.
 
The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan and
shall make available for inspection, upon reasonable advance notice, at the
offices of the Servicer during normal business hours by the Agent, any Principal
or any of their respective designees the related Mortgage Loan File during the
time the Agent retains ownership of an Eligible Mortgage Loan and thereafter in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Section 2.3  Servicer Daily Calculation of Collateral Values and Aggregate
Margin Value; Agent Calculation of Collateral Value and Aggregate Margin Value.
 
(a)  The Servicer shall, before 4 p.m. (eastern time) on each Business Day,
provide a transmission of the Collateral Value and Aggregate Margin Value of the
Eligible Mortgage Loans at such time to the Agent. Such transmission shall be in
a form mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Agent at such times in all
material respects.
 
(b)  The Agent shall provide, at least once per calendar month, but as often as
the Agent deems necessary, before noon (eastern time) on any Business Day, a
transmission of the aggregate Collateral Value of the Eligible Mortgage Loans
(as determined by the Agent or its designee) and the Aggregate Margin Value (as
determined by the Agent or its designee) at such time to the Servicer. Such
transmission shall be in a form mutually agreed upon by the Agent and the
Servicer at such times in all material respects. In connection with the
foregoing, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Agent (for its use and for
use by any third party that the Agent selects to calculate the aggregate
Collateral Value and the Aggregate Margin Value) any books, records, documents,
data tapes or diskettes or other information relating to the Eligible Mortgage
Loans as the Agent may reasonably request.
 
Section 2.4  Protection of Ownership Interest of the Agent (on behalf of the
Principals).
 
The Servicer agrees that it will from time to time, at its expense, promptly
execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be
necessary or as the Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect
the interest of the Agent (on behalf of the Principals) in the Eligible Mortgage
Loans or to enable the Agent or the Principals to exercise or enforce any of
their respective rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller
will upon the request of the Agent or any of the Principals, in order to
accurately reflect any assignment, transfer and conveyance transaction under the
Repurchase Agreement, authorize and file such financing or continuation
statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof as may be requested by
the Agent or any of the Principals. The Servicer shall upon request of the Agent
or any of the Principals obtain such additional search reports as the Agent or
any of the Principals shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Agent shall be permitted to file continuation statements and
amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature.
Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.
 
The Servicer agrees that it will at its expense, on or prior to the related
Purchase Date indicate clearly and unambiguously in its master data processing
records that the Eligible Mortgage Loans have been conveyed to the Agent, for
the benefit of the Principals pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. The Servicer
further agrees to deliver to the Agent a computer file or microfiche list
containing a true and complete list of all such Eligible Mortgage Loans,
identified by loan number and by Outstanding Principal Balance as of the related
Purchase Date. The Servicer agrees to deliver to the Agent within five (5)
Business Days of the request therefor by the Agent a computer file or microfiche
list containing a true and complete list of all Eligible Mortgage Loans in
existence as of the last day of the prior Due Period, identified by loan number
and by Outstanding Principal Balance as of the last day of the prior Due Period.
The Servicer agrees, on behalf of the Seller, at its own expense, by the end of
each Due Period in which any Eligible Mortgage Loans have been originated to
indicate clearly and unambiguously in its master data processing records that
the Eligible Mortgage Loans created have been conveyed to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Principals, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in
accordance with the terms hereof in immediately available funds no later than
2:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the day when due; if such amounts are payable to any
Principal or Principals they shall be paid or deposited in the Funding Account

permitted by Law, pay to the Agent for the account of each Principal upon demand
of the Agent, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due to the
Agent for the account of each Principal hereunder at a rate equal to the Default
Rate. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a

ARTICLE III

 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS; REMEDIES AND BREACH
 
Section 3.1  Representations and Warranties of The Company.
 
The Company, as Seller and Servicer, represents and warrants to the Agent (and
for the benefit of the Principals) that as of each applicable Purchase Date and
as of the date of the sale or Securitization of each Eligible Mortgage Loan:
 
(a)  Due Organization and Authority. The Company is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of New Jersey and has all licenses
necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is licensed,
qualified and in good standing in each state where a Mortgaged Property is
located if required to conduct business of the type conducted by it, and in any
event the Company is in compliance with the laws of any such state to the extent
necessary to ensure the enforceability of any Eligible Mortgage Loan sold
hereunder and the servicing of any such Eligible Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and any Transaction Notice; the Company has the
full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any
Transaction Notice and to perform its obligations in accordance herewith and
therewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any
Transaction Notice by the Company and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the
Company; all requisite corporate action has been taken by the Company to make
this Agreement and any Transaction Notice valid and binding upon the Company in
accordance with its terms; this Agreement and any Transaction Notice each
evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company, except
that (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other
forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.
 
 
 
S-8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(b)  Ordinary Course of Business. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the
Company, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and
the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the
bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction.
 
(c)  No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
Transaction Notice, the acquisition of Eligible Mortgage Loans by the Company,
the sale of Eligible Mortgage Loans to the Agent (on behalf of the Principals)
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Transaction
Notice, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions
or provisions of the Company's charter or by-laws or any material agreement or
instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or
constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or
result in the violation in any material respect of any applicable law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is
subject, or impair the ability of the Agent (on behalf of the Principals) to
realize on the Eligible Mortgage Loans in any material respect, or impair the
value of the Eligible Mortgage Loans in any material respect, or impair in any
material respect the ability of the Agent (on behalf of the Principals) to
realize the full mortgage insurance benefits (i) of the FHA Mortgage Insurance
Contract with respect to FHA Loans; (ii) of the VA Loan Guaranty Certificate
with respect to VA Loans; or (iii) other insurance benefits accruing pursuant to
this Agreement, including but not limited to any PMI Policy.
 
(d)  Ability to Service. The Company is an Approved Seller/Servicer of Eligible
Mortgage Loans for at least two of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC with the facilities,
procedures, and experienced personnel necessary for the servicing of Eligible
Mortgage Loans. The Company is in good standing to sell mortgage loans to and
service mortgage loans for at least two of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC and no event has
occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which
would make the Company unable to comply with the eligibility requirements in all
material respects of at least two of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. As of each Purchase
Date, the Company is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and a VA Approved Lender and has
the facilities, procedures, and experienced personnel necessary for the
servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Eligible Mortgage Loans. As
of each Purchase Date, the Company is in good standing to service mortgage loans
for FHA and VA, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change
in insurance coverage, which would make the Company unable to comply with FHA or
VA eligibility requirements in all material respects.
 
 
 
S-9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(e)  Reasonable Servicing Fee. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the
Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services as
compensation for the servicing and administration and arranging for the sale or
Securitization of the Eligible Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and, if
paid shall be treated by the Servicer, for accounting and tax purposes, as
compensation for the servicing and administration of the Eligible Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Seller does not, and is
not expected at a later date to, pay any Servicing Fee to any Servicer party
hereto on the date this Servicing Agreement was first executed and delivered.
However, the Seller is expected to pay Servicing Fees to any Servicer who is not
an Affiliate of the Seller.
 
(f)  No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Company (other
than Previously Disclosed Matters) which, either in any one instance or in the
aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company, or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its
business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the
part of the Company, or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or any Transaction Notice or the Eligible Mortgage Loans or of any
action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Company
contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability
of the Company to perform under the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction
Notice.
 
(g)  No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body including, without limitation, HUD, FHA or
VA, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or
compliance by it with this Agreement or any Transaction Notice or the sale of
the Eligible Mortgage Loans, or if required, such consent, approval or
authorization has been obtained.
 
(h)  No Untrue Information. Neither this Agreement, any Transaction Notice nor
any statement, report or other document prepared by the Seller or to be prepared
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than
Subject Adjustments) contains any untrue statement of a material fact relating
to the Company or the Eligible Mortgage Loans or omits to state a fact necessary
to make the statements herein or therein not materially misleading.
 
(i)  Ability to Perform. The Company does not believe, nor does it have any
reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
contained in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document in all material
respects. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Eligible Mortgage Loans is
not undertaken to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company's creditors.

Principals.

Repurchase Price.
 
(d)  Assignment. The Servicer shall assign to the Agent all right, title and
interest of the Company under the Additional Collateral Transaction Agreement
with respect to Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans transferred.
 
(e)  [Reserved].
 
(f)  [Reserved].
 
(g)  Financial Covenants. For so long as any amount shall remain outstanding or
unpaid under the Repurchase Agreement, unless the Required Principals shall
otherwise consent in writing, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, (i)
permit PHH Corporation’s Consolidated Net Worth on the last day of any fiscal
quarter to be less than the sum of (A) $1,000,000,000 plus (B) 25% of

sub-servicing agreements with third parties with respect to any of its
respective obligations hereunder, provided that any such agreement shall be
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and no sub-servicer (or its
agent or subcontractors) shall grant any modification, waiver or amendment to
any Eligible Mortgage Loan without the approval of the Servicer. Notwithstanding
any servicing or sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and any
Person acting as servicer or sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or
any reference to action taken through any Person acting as servicer or
sub-servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily
liable to the Agent (on behalf of the Principals) for the servicing and
administering of the Eligible Mortgage Loans and arranging for the sale and
Securitization of the Eligible Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue
of such servicing or sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from any Person acting as servicer or sub-servicer (or its
agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone were engaging in such activities. In the
event the Servicer is a sub-servicer, the Agent (on behalf of the Principals)
shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Servicer as sub-servicer to
enforce the Servicer's obligations to the Agent (on behalf of the Principals).

(c)  Subject to the above-described servicing standards, the further provisions
of this Agreement, including but not limited to the Wet Funded Loan Limitation,
the Eligibility Criteria, the Portfolio Criteria and Portfolio Aging Limitation,
and the terms of the respective Eligible Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and administration of
the Eligible Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to waive, modify or vary any
term of any Eligible Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of compliance
with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Borrower if in the
Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Agent or any of the
Principals; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make any future
advances to a Borrower with respect to an Eligible Mortgage Loan and (unless the
Borrower is in default with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loan or such
default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent) the Servicer shall not
permit any modification with respect to any Eligible Mortgage Loan that would
change the interest rate for the related Mortgage, defer or forgive the payment
of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance
(except for actual payments of principal), release any collateral from the
Eligible Mortgage Loan or change the final maturity date on such Eligible
Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver
on behalf of itself and the Agent all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Principals
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney, in recordable form, and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Section 4.2  Sales and Securitizations.
 
Subject to the servicing standards described in Section 4.1, the Servicer shall
have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and
all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem
necessary and desirable in connection with the sale and/or Securitization of
Eligible Mortgage Loans with the Seller or third-party purchasers. In connection
with any Securitization of Eligible Mortgage Loans, in the event the Agent (on
behalf of the Principals) receives securities from the Securitization Vehicle in
exchange for the Eligible Mortgage Loans subject to such Securitization
(“Securitization Securities”), the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Agent (on
behalf of the Principals), arrange for the sale of such Securitization
Securities. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to realize for the Agent (on
behalf of the Principals) the market value for the Securitization Securities but
shall have no liability to the Principals with respect to any Securitization or
Securitization Security provided that the Servicer arranges for such
Securitization or sale in good faith in accordance with the procedures utilized
by the Servicer in connection with any Securitization and Securitization
Securities held for its own account. The share of the proceeds of sale of any
Securitization Security due the Principals and the proceeds of sale of any whole
loan will be remitted to the Collection Account for application in accordance
with the Repurchase Agreement.
 
All mortgage loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a sale or Securitization
shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.3  Liquidation of Eligible Mortgage Loans.
 
In the event that any payment due under any Eligible Mortgage Loan is not paid
when the payment becomes due and payable, or in the event that the Borrower
fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Eligible Mortgage
Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer
shall take such action as (1) the Servicer would take under similar
circumstances with respect to a similar Eligible Mortgage Loan held for its own
account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, (3) the Servicer shall determine in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Agent and the Principals,
and (4) is consistent with the related PMI Policy, if any; provided, however,
any Defaulted Loan will be sold by the Servicer on behalf of the Principals as
soon as practicable after becoming a Defaulted Loan.
 
Section 4.4  Collection of Eligible Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
The Servicer shall proceed diligently, in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
the Eligible Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder and shall
follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Transaction
Documents (including without limitation, the servicing standards set forth in
Section 4.1 hereof). The Servicer shall ascertain and estimate, in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, Escrow Payments and all other charges that
will become due and payable with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Borrowers
will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all payments received by it separate and
apart from any of its funds and general assets and in trust for the Principals
and shall apply such payments as provided in the Repurchase Agreement. The
accounts established by the Servicer pursuant to this Article IV may include any
number of sub-accounts for convenience in administering the Eligible Mortgage
Loans.
 
 
 
 
S-14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Section 4.5  Establishment of, and Deposits to, Funding Account and Collection
Account.
 
The Servicer shall establish single, segregated trust accounts which shall be
designated as the Funding Account and the Collection Account, respectively,
which shall be held in trust in the name of the Agent for the benefit of the
Principals and which shall be subject to Blocked Account Control Agreements,
into which the Servicer shall from time to time deposit, within two Business
Days of the receipt thereof, and retain therein, all Collections. The Funding
Account and the Collection Account shall be established with a Qualified
Depository acceptable to the Agent. Any funds deposited in the Funding Account
and the Collection Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full
extent permitted under applicable law. Any interest earnings on amounts on
deposit from time to time in the Funding Account and the Collection Account
shall be remitted to the Servicer in accordance with such arrangements, as shall
be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Agent; provided that the Servicer shall
deposit promptly from its own funds to the Funding Account or the Collection
Account, as applicable, an amount equal to any loss incurred with respect to an
investment of funds in the Funding Account or the Collection Account, as
applicable.
 
Section 4.6  Permitted Withdrawals From Margin Call Account.
 
(a)  In connection with any withdrawals of amounts deposited by the Servicer
into the Margin Call Account by mistake or overpayment or as otherwise required
to make adjustments to amounts deposited therein in accordance with ordinary and
normal servicing adjustments the Servicer shall provide the Agent with a written
request, including such information with respect to such withdrawals as such
Agent may reasonably request to justify such withdrawal. Upon approval by the
Agent of such request, the Agent shall authorize the withdrawal of such amount
from such account; provided that if such request is for an amount less than
$10,000 and the aggregate amount withdrawn from such account under this proviso
in the current Due Period is less than $50,000, such withdrawal may be made
without approval from the Agent.
 
(b)  The proceeds of any sales and Securitizations, the Repurchase Price of any
Eligible Mortgage Loans and any other amounts payable in connection with the
repurchase to the Seller or Servicer of any Eligible Mortgage Loan and
repayments in full of Eligible Mortgage Loans shall be deposited directly into
the Funding Account on the same day of receipt for application in accordance
with the Repurchase Agreement.
 
Section 4.7  Establishment of, and Deposits to, Escrow Account.
 
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to an Eligible Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart
from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain
one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, in
a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Funds
deposited in any Escrow Account may be invested by the Servicer which shall be
entitled to any investment income therefrom except as otherwise required by law.
Funds deposited in any Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in
accordance with Section 4.8 hereof.
 
 
 
 
S-15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
The Servicer shall deposit in such Escrow Account within two Business Days of
receipt thereof and retain therein (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account
of the Eligible Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents; and (b) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any Mortgaged Property.
 
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from any Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.8
hereof. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on
escrowed funds to the Borrower notwithstanding that such Escrow Account may be
non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such
purposes.
 
The Seller shall deposit to the Escrow Account an amount equal to all Escrow
Payments, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds collected on account of
each Eligible Mortgage Loan and held by the Seller as of the date of the
transfer of such Eligible Mortgage Loan to the Agent (on behalf of the
Principals).
 
Section 4.8  Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
 
Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:
 
(a)  To effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, mortgage
insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items
constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
 
(b)  To reimburse the Servicer for any servicing advances made by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof with respect to a related Eligible Mortgage Loan,
but only from amounts received on the related Eligible Mortgage Loan which
represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(c)  To refund to any Borrower any funds found to be in excess of the amounts
required under the terms of the related Eligible Mortgage Loan;
 
(d)  For application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in
accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.15 hereof; and
 
(e)  To pay to the Borrower, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on
the funds deposited in the Escrow Account.
 
 
 
S-16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Section 4.9  Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
 
With respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon
the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums, if any, and fire
and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for
the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect
payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing
for such purpose deposits of the Borrower in the Escrow Account which shall have
been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such
purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that
any such payments are made by the Borrower at the time they first become due.
The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such
bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each
Borrower's faithful performance in the payment of an Eligible Mortgage Loan or
the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Servicer shall make such payments.
 
Section 4.10  Protection of Accounts; Investment of Funds.
 
Amounts on deposit in the Margin Call Account may at the option of the Seller be
invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on
deposit in each such account (which shall be properly titled to insure the funds
in such account on a loan-by-loan basis) exceed the amount fully insured by the
FDIC (the “Insured Amount”) the Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess
amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the next Business Day
as such excess amount becomes present in the Margin Call Account. Monies held in
the Margin Call Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments having
maturities of no greater than one day; provided, that if there are no Short-Term
Notes then outstanding, monies held in each such account shall be invested in
Eligible Investments having maturities of no greater than 30 days. If a
Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, earnings on all such
Eligible Investments (after deducting any losses), if any, shall be paid to the
Seller. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of, and shall be
payable to, the Agent.
 
Section 4.11  Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Eligible Mortgage Loan (other
than HELOCs and Closed End Second Mortgage Loans) hazard insurance such that all
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable
insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best's Key Rating Guide (“Best's”)
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Eligible Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a)
the outstanding principal balance of the Eligible Mortgage Loan and (b) an
amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the
Borrower or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer.
 
 
 
S-17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
If upon origination or acquisition of the Eligible Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer shall cause to be in
effect a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best's in an amount representing
coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms
of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis
(or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not
available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of
insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended. If at any time during the term of the Eligible Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the
Guidelines that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area
and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the
amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the
Servicer shall notify the related Borrower that the Borrower must obtain such
flood insurance coverage, and if said Borrower fails to obtain the required
flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification,
the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the
Borrower’s behalf.
 
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property such
additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any private mortgage
guaranty insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing
Practices.
 
In the event that the Servicer shall determine, in accordance with Accepted
Services Practices that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or
damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be
maintained by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Servicer
shall communicate and consult with the Borrower with respect to the need for
such insurance and bring to the Borrower's attention the desirability of
protection of the Mortgaged Property.
 
The Servicer shall not interfere with the Borrower's freedom of choice in
selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies
unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best's and are licensed to do
business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The
Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and
amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe
the property address. The Servicer shall furnish to the Borrower a formal notice
of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Borrower to
arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date.
 
Pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in any Escrow Account and
applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or
property acquired in liquidation of the Eligible Mortgage Loan, or to be
released to the Borrower, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices as
specified in Section 4.15 hereof) shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
 
 
 
 
S-18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Section 4.12  Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
 
If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against
losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of
the Eligible Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage
in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.11 hereof and
otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.11, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in such
Section 4.11. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy
relating to an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection
Account. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with Section 4.11 hereof, and there shall have been
a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit
in the Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount
to be deposited from the Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon
request of the Agent, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Agent a
certified true copy of such policy.
 
Section 4.13  Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
 
The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a
blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad
coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity
requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to
the Eligible Mortgage Loans (“Company Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and
Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage
Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against
losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of an Eligible Mortgage
Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured
thereby. No provision of this Section 4.13 requiring such Fidelity Bond and
Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer
from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum
coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the
corresponding amounts required by the Guidelines. Upon the request of the Agent,
the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Agent a certified true copy of
such fidelity bond and insurance policy.
 
Section 4.14  Inspections.
 
The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary
by the Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is
being preserved.
 
Section 4.15  Restoration of Mortgaged Property.
 
The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Agent or the Principals prior
to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Borrower to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such
release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the
Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such
release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:
 
 
 
S-19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(a)  The Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of
completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
 
(b)  The Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the
lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to, requiring waivers with
respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
 
(c)  The Servicer shall verify that the Eligible Mortgage Loan is not in
default; and
 
(d)  Pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in any Escrow Account.
 
Section 4.16  Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims.
 
Except where the Guidelines exempt certain Eligible Mortgage Loans from this
requirement, for each Eligible Mortgage Loan (other than FHA Loans, VA Loans,
Uninsured Loans, HELOCs and Closed End Second Mortgage Loans) with a
Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80%, the Servicer shall, without any cost to
the Agent or any Principal, maintain or cause the Borrower to maintain in full
force and effect a PMI Policy insuring that portion of the Eligible Mortgage
Loan in excess of 80% of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Borrower to pay
the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of such
Eligible Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less. In the event that such PMI
Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall, prior to any such termination,
obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a
total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. If
the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall determine
whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to
the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Servicer
shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to
recover under the PMI Policy for such reason. If the Servicer determines that
recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Agent and the Borrower, if
required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance
policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage
under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption
or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section
5.1 hereof, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI
Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance
with the terms of such PMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be
required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under
such PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption
or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy
as provided above.
 
 
 
S-20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
In connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and present claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy respecting
a Defaulted Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof.
 
Section 4.17  Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
 
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or
by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in the name of the Servicer as agent for the Agent, or in the event the Servicer
is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where
the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing
business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Agent. The Person or Persons holding such title
other than the Servicer shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being
held as nominee for the Servicer.
 
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the Principals solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The
Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the manner that it
manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own
account, and in the manner that similar property in the locality as the REO
Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the Eligible Mortgage
Loan on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Agent and the Principals. The Servicer shall dispose of the REO
Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices as soon as possible.
 
The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability
insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended.
 
The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price and, upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the Agent and the Principals. The proceeds of sale of the REO
Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account.
 
Section 4.18  Daily Servicer Reports.
 
On a daily basis, the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent, the
Custodian and each Principal (i) a report, substantially in the form of Exhibit
D (a “Daily Servicer Report”), as of the close of business on the immediately
preceding Business Day (which shall include, without limitation, (a) the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Eligible Mortgage Loans, (b)
Collections on the Eligible Mortgage Loans, (c) the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance of Delinquent Loans and Defaulted Loans and (d) the yield on
the Eligible Mortgage Loans, (e) the Aggregate Purchase Price, (f) the Aggregate
Margin Value, (g) the amount on deposit in the Margin Call Account, if any, and
(h) the amount of repayment of maturing related Short-Term Notes, if any, as of
the date of such Daily Servicer Report), (ii) an updated Daily Loan Inventory
and (iii) if requested by the Agent, a listing of all Eligible Mortgage Loans
together with an aging of such Eligible Mortgage Loans and such other
information concerning actual historical collections experience and other
matters as the Agent may reasonably request.
 
 
 
S-21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
The Seller shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, furnish to the Agent at any
time and from time to time, such other or further information in respect of the
Eligible Mortgage Loans, the Seller and the Borrowers as the Agent may
reasonably request.
 
Section 4.19  Real Estate Owned Reports.
 
The Servicer shall furnish to the Agent on a monthly basis an REO Property
report in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, together with such other
information as the Agent shall reasonably request.
 
Section 4.20  Liquidation Reports.
 
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof
by the Agent pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall
submit to the Agent a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged
Property.
 
Section 4.21  Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
 
Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the
Servicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to
Section 5050J of the Code.
 
ARTICLE V
 
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
Section 5.1  Transfers of Mortgaged Property.
 
The Servicer shall enforce any “due-on-sale” provision in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law contained in any Mortgage or
Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged
Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by
contract of sale, and whether or not the Borrower remains liable on the Mortgage
and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the
Borrower, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance,
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Eligible Mortgage Loan
under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if
the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery
under the related PMI Policy, if any.
 
 
 
S-22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and
modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed,
pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the
original Borrower remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event that the Servicer
is unable under applicable law to require that the original Borrower remain
liable under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the
primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with
the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Borrower
is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is
substituted as Borrower and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
 
Section 5.2  Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Files.
 
Upon the payment in full of any Eligible Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Agent.
 
If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the
Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Agent or the Principals may have
under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Agent, the Servicer
shall repurchase the related Eligible Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by
deposit thereof in the Funding Account within two Business Days of receipt of
such demand by the Agent for application in reduction of the Aggregate Purchase
Price. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.13 hereof insuring the Servicer
against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Eligible Mortgage Loan not
satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Section 5.3  Servicing Compensation.
 
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to

are not sufficient to pay the Servicing Fee in full, none of the Agent or any
Principal shall have any liability for such deficiency. Each Servicer shall be
required to pay all expense incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
