 AGREEMENTS OF THE SERVICER 
 2.1 General. 
 (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans on behalf of the Trustee and the Depositor, as beneficial owner of each Trust and
any Loans held thereby, and shall service and administer the REO Properties on behalf of the REO Owner, in each case, in accordance with Applicable Requirements with due regard for the interests of the Trustee, the Depositor and the REO Owner, as
applicable, to seek to maximize collections on or in respect of the Loans and REO Properties and without regard to: 
 (i) any relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor; 
  

 10 








 (ii) the Servicer’s obligation to make Servicing Advances; or

 (iii) the Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction. 
 The standards set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the
“Servicing Standard.” 
 (b) Other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not have any
rights to service the Loans or the REO Properties. Unless otherwise disclosed in writing to the Servicer, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Depositor, and the REO Owner shall be the “servicing rights owner” with respect to the
Loans and the REO Properties, respectively. 
 (c) Upon the creation by the Depositor of a Trust that will hold Loans serviced
by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee shall enter into a Trust Addendum to this Agreement for such Trust. The Trust Addendum shall contain such additional terms regarding the servicing and
administration of the related Loans as agreed upon by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee. Upon the addition or deletion of any Loans to or from any Trust, the Depositor and the Servicer shall amend any related Loan Schedules accordingly and
deliver such amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. 
 2.2 Collection of Loan Payments. 
 (a) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through agents (but subject to Section 10.2), to do or cause to
be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, subject to the Servicing Standard. 
 (b) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans (other than
any prepayment premiums, penalties or charges that the Servicer has waived in accordance with the Servicing Standard), and shall, to the extent that such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures for all
Loans that are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, waive, modify or vary any non-material term of any Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any
manner grant a non-material indulgence to any Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Loan (including material modifications that would change the Loan Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Loan), accept payment
from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the principal balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any term or otherwise grant any indulgence to any Mortgagor. Any actions taken by
the Servicer with respect to a HAMP Loan under this Section 2.2, shall be subject to the requirements of Section 2.13 hereof. 
 (c) Prior to the waiver, modification or variance of any term of a Loan (including material modifications that would change the Loan Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Loan) that is not consistent with the

  

 11 








 
Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall notify the Holder of such proposed waiver, modification or variance in writing, which notification shall set forth all material terms of such proposed
waiver, modification or variance, as the case may be. The Holder shall be deemed to have approved such proposed waiver, modification or variance unless the Holder notifies the Servicer in writing within three (3) Business Days after its receipt
of such notice that it disapproves of such proposed waiver, modification or variance. 
 2.3 Procedure. 
 Until the principal and interest of each Loan is paid in full, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and
subject to the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall: 
 (a) Collect applicable payments of principal, interest and applicable
deposits for taxes, assessments and other public charges that are generally impounded, fire and hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums as required, FHA Insurance or primary mortgage insurance premiums, optional insurance premiums, and
all other items, as they become due. 
 (b) Accept payments of principal and interest and impound deposits in accordance with
the Loan instruments. Deficiencies or excesses in payments or deposits shall be accepted and applied, or accepted and unapplied, or rejected in accordance with the requirements of HUD and VA, with respect to Loans subject to FHA Insurance or a VA
Guaranty, respectively, and in accordance with the provisions of conventional mortgage loan instruments with respect to conventional loans. 
 (c) Apply all installments and impound deposits collected from the Mortgagor, and maintain permanent mortgage account records capable of producing, in chronological order: the date, amount, distribution,
installment due date or other transactions affecting the amounts due from or to the Mortgagor and indicating the latest outstanding balances of principal, impound deposits, advances, and unapplied payments. 
 (d) Establish and maintain one or more accounts for each Trust as specified in the related Trust Addendum (collectively, the “Custodial
Account”). Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer will be required to deposit into each Custodial Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt all proceeds (except Ancillary Income) of the related Loans
received by the Servicer, including, but not limited to, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance amounts collected in respect of such Loans, and to remit such proceeds to the Trustee (as provided in the related Trust Addendum) not
later than the Servicer Remittance Date (after depositing the Servicing Reserve Target Amount in the related Servicing Reserve Account and net of charges against and withdrawals from the Custodial Account permitted pursuant to this Agreement). Funds
in each Custodial Account may be invested only in Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(m) hereof. The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from each Custodial Account for any of the
following purposes: (i) to remit to the Trustee in the amounts and in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(a); (ii) to pay the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Compensation and to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances from the general funds in the Custodial Account; (iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any expenses incurred by the Servicer of its

  

 12 








 
obligations under this Agreement from the general funds in the Custodial Account; (iv) to pay to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Compensation)
on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account; (v) to make deposits into the Servicing Reserve Account on a date other than the Servicer Remittance Date; (vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any penalty, late fee or late charge incurred by the Servicer for the late payment or nonpayment of any real estate property taxes and assessments by any prior Servicer of any Loan; (vii) to withdraw any amounts
deposited to the applicable Custodial Account in error; and (viii) following the Termination Date, to clear and terminate the applicable Custodial Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer is not
obligated to deposit Ancillary Income or HAMP Fees into the Custodial Account, although it may do so for ease of operations, and to the extent that the Servicer does deposit such amounts into the applicable Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be
permitted to withdraw such amounts at any time in its sole discretion. 
 (e) Establish and maintain an account for each Trust
as specified in the related Trust Addendum (the “Servicing Reserve Account”) into which amounts shall be deposited from time to time in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(v) and Section 2.5(a). The Servicing Reserve Account shall be
an Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts from the Servicing Reserve Account may be made only to (i) reimburse the Servicer in accordance with subsections (d)(ii) and (d)(vi) above, (ii) to make any Servicing Advance, (iii) withdraw
any amounts deposited to the Servicing Reserve Account in error; and (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Reserve Account. 
 (f) Establish and maintain one or more accounts for each Trust as specified in the related Trust Addendum (the “Escrow Accounts”) into which (x) all collections from the Mortgagors for the payment of taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) and (y) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any
Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained. The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Accounts, no later than the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect timely payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for each Loan; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to paragraph (g) and paragraph (j) with respect to each
Loan; (iii) refund to the Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to the Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) to withdraw any amount deposited in the
Escrow Accounts in error; (vi) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Loans under this Agreement; (vii) for application to restoration or repair
of the Mortgaged Property; and (viii) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. As part of its servicing duties, the
Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor. As applicable, the Servicer will determine the amount of deposits to be

  

 13 








 
made by the Mortgagors and will furnish to each Mortgagor, at least once a year, an analysis of the escrow/impound account, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard. 
 The Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring, balancing and reconciling the Custodial Account and Escrow Account with the cash on hand
to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The Servicer shall attempt to promptly resolve any discrepancies and shall be responsible for all expenses and consequences for failure to reconcile and resolve such discrepancies. 
 (g) Maintain accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, ground rents and other recurring charges generally accepted by the mortgage
servicing industry, which would become a lien on any Mortgaged Property. For all Loans providing for the payment to and collection by the Servicer of impound deposits for taxes, ground rents or such other recurring charges, the Servicer shall remit
payments for such charges before the later of (i) any penalty date and (ii) 30 days after the servicing transfer of such Loan to the Servicer. 
 (h) In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on any
Mortgaged Property, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from general collections from all Mortgagors pursuant to paragraph (d). Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer in connection with the servicing of the
Loans (including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and assessments or other charges) on any Mortgaged Property shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent described herein. 
 (i) Maintain in full force and effect at all times, and comply with the terms of, existing FHA Insurance, VA Guaranty or other primary
mortgage insurance, as applicable, in accordance with the type of Mortgage, and will assume responsibility for the remittance of the premiums thereon. The Servicer shall maintain any optional insurance as mutually agreed upon between the Servicer
and the Depositor. Optional insurance premiums, if any, will be collected monthly and remitted as collected. Additional set up costs, if any, associated with the optional insurance shall be agreed upon between the Servicer and the Depositor and
shall be the responsibility of the Depositor. 
 (j) Use its commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing
Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain for each Loan (other than any Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent that the
Trustee, as mortgagee on behalf of the Holder as beneficial owner of the related Trust, has an insurable interest (A) fire and hazard insurance with coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount at least equal to the lesser of
(i) 100% of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, the improvements comprising part of the Mortgaged
Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or such other amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to
be a co-insurer. The Servicer shall maintain fire and hazard insurance from an insurer having a General Policy Rating of “B” or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (a “Qualified Insurer”) with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements

  

 14 








 
which are a part of such property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage rate and related
Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall require that all insurance policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer and its successors and assigns as the mortgagee, as loss payee and that all such insurance policies require that 30 days’
notice be given to the Servicer before termination to the extent required by the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, or other Loan Documents. 
 (k) Deposit into the related Custodial Account any amounts collected by the Servicer under any policies referred to in Section 2.3(f) (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration and repair
of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to
be maintained by the Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other Loan documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional
insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will use its commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain or
will itself obtain flood insurance in respect thereof. If an REO Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will obtain flood insurance in respect thereof. Costs of the Servicer of maintaining insurance
policies shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Servicer. The Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims under each related insurance policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. 
 (l) Unless the Servicer is required to exercise its rights under a “due on sale clause” pursuant to the following paragraph, approve the sale, assignment or other transfer of any Mortgaged
Property, if the current borrower makes a request therefor, provided that the Servicer shall have received sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of the proposed transfer, no event of default under the related loan documents shall
have occurred and be continuing, and the following additional criteria are satisfied: 
 (i) the current
borrower shall pay any and all fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transfer of the Mortgaged Property (including without limitation counsel fees and disbursements and all recording fees, title insurance premiums and mortgage
and intangible taxes); 
 (ii) if applicable, the proposed transferee or its principals shall have demonstrated
expertise in owning and operating properties similar in location, size and operation to the Mortgaged Property, which expertise shall be determined by the Servicer, in the Servicer’s sole discretion; 
 (iii) the proposed transferee and its principals shall, as of the date of such transfer, have an aggregate net worth and
liquidity acceptable to the Servicer, in the Servicer’s sole discretion; 
  

 15 








 (iv) the proposed transferee shall assume all of the obligations of the
current borrower under the related loan documents in all respects, including without limitation by entering into an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer (in the Servicer’s sole discretion) and, if applicable,
shall execute in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust a guaranty and an affidavit and indemnity of borrower and guarantor regarding hazardous and toxic materials; 
 (v) no event of default under the related loan documents, or other event which, with the giving of notice, passage of time or
both would constitute an event of default under the related loan documents, shall otherwise occur as a result of such transfer, and the proposed transferee and its principals shall deliver (A) all organization documentation requested by the
Servicer, which shall be satisfactory to the Servicer (in the Servicer’s sole discretion) and (B) all certificates, agreements and covenants required by the Servicer; and 
 (vi) the current borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the existing title policy insuring
the security instrument, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property and naming the proposed transferee as owner of the Mortgaged Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the
recording of the assumption agreement, the Mortgaged Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the title policy issued in conjunction with the related loan documents. 
 With respect to any Loan, when any Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, to the extent that it has
knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, the Servicer shall exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if either (i) the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law (the reasonableness of such belief shall be
conclusively established by an Opinion of Counsel, which may be in-house counsel, to the foregoing effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor) or (ii) the Servicer determines that such
enforcement would not be in the best economic interest of the related Trust. In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about
to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer
is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, neither the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Loan nor the Monthly Payment on the related Loan shall be changed and shall remain as in effect immediately prior to
the assumption or substitution. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee a copy of the assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates), which copy
shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. 
  

 16 








 (m) Due on Encumbrance. With respect to a Loan that contains a provision in the
nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms (i) provides that such Loan (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged
Property or (ii) requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property, then for so long as such Loan is owned by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holder, as
beneficial owner of the related Trust, and to the extent that it has knowledge of such lien or other encumbrance, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall exercise any right it may have as the mortgagee of record with respect to such Loan to
(x) accelerate the payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance, in each case, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. 
 (n) Eligible Investments. The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds in
one or more Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand, but maturing no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such account pursuant to this Agreement. Any investment of funds in a Custodial Account shall be made in the name of the Servicer as nominee of the Trustee. The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account, from its own funds, the amount of any
loss incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of any loss. 
 2.4 Other. 
 (a) The Trustee and the Depositor hereby authorize the Servicer, at Servicer’s option, to
bring or defend any claim, action, arbitration, litigation or other similar proceeding, in the name of the Trustee, to effectuate the servicing of the Loans and REO Properties. Without limiting the preceding sentence, the Servicer may also assert
claims or defend against claims involving the insurance coverage with respect to the Loans and REO Properties. To the extent that the Servicer incurs any fees, costs, liabilities, judgments, attorney’s fees in connection with the circumstances
described in this Section 2.4(a), Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for these items as Servicing Advances. 
 (b)
The Trustee and the Depositor hereby grant to the Servicer a limited power of attorney in the form of Exhibit IV hereto to execute all documents on behalf of each Trust under this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate
the provisions of Article II hereof. Revocation of such power of attorney shall take effect upon (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article V or (ii) a material breach of this Agreement by the Servicer, including, but not
limited to, misuse of this power. The Trustee, as holder of legal title to the Loans and as trustee of the Trusts, shall execute any documentation as directed and as furnished to it by the Servicer for recordation by the Servicer in the appropriate
jurisdictions, as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, if necessary, execute additional powers of attorney to the Servicer and furnish it with any other documents as the
Servicer or such subservicer shall reasonably request and to which the Trustee shall have access to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action or inaction of the Servicer with respect to such power of attorney. 
  

 17 








 The Servicer shall be responsible for further safeguarding the Owner’s interest in the
property and rights under the Mortgage by: 
 (a) Inspecting properties after the Mortgagor is sixty (60) days or more
delinquent in the payment of any obligation under the Mortgage, and performing such other inspections as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. 
 (b) Securing any property found to be vacant or abandoned. 
 (c) Maintaining in
force at all times a blanket fidelity bond and a policy of errors and omissions insurance coverage that satisfy Fannie Mae requirements at the Servicer’s sole expense.

 (1) Receiving reports of hazard insurance losses and assuring that proof of loss statements are properly filed; 
 (2) Authorizing the restoration and rehabilitation of the damaged property;

 (5) In general, attempting to assure that the priority of the Mortgage is preserved by complying with the Servicing Standard. 
 (e) Consistent with the Servicing Standard, processing insurance drafts and loss settlements. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall take all actions necessary under any applicable FHA
Insurance, VA Guaranty or any other primary mortgage insurance to receive all applicable proceeds from such policies or guaranties. 
 2.5 Accounting, Remittances and Reporting. 
 The Servicer shall: 
 (a) On each Servicer Remittance Date, first, withdraw amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the related
Determination Date for the related Collection Period (net of charges against and withdrawals from the related Custodial Account permitted pursuant to this Agreement) and deposit such amounts in the Servicing Reserve Account until the total amount on
deposit in the Servicing Reserve Account equals the Servicing Reserve Target Amount, and then remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in the related Trust Agreement all remaining amounts deposited in the related
Custodial Account. 
  

 18 








 (b) Not accept any prepayment of any Loan except as specified or authorized by the Servicing
Standard and by the terms of the Loan, provided that the Servicer shall not be required to enforce any restriction on prepayment or collect any prepayment fee or penalty if the Mortgagor or any person or Government Authority acting on behalf of the
Mortgagor challenges the legality of such enforcement or collection and the perceived consequences of defending the claim exceed the value of the prepayment fee or penalty. 
 (c) Upon payment of a Loan in full and receipt from the Trustee or its agent of any documents or information necessary to effect such
release, have prepared and file any necessary release or satisfaction documents, continue servicing of the loan pending final settlement, and refund any of the Mortgagor deposits. 
 (d) Make applicable interest rate adjustments in compliance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall
execute and deliver all appropriate notices required by the Servicing Standard and the Loan documents including but not limited to, monthly notification to the Trustee and the Depositor, of applicable information regarding such interest rate
adjustment, and methods of implementation of such interest rate adjustments and of all prepayments of any loan hereunder by the Mortgagor. 
 (e) Furnish copies of standard reports in the format set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto on each Servicer Remittance Date, perform such other customary duties and execute such other documents in
connection with its duties hereunder as the Trustee, the Depositor or the REO Owner from time to time reasonably may require subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 (f) hereof. 
 (f) In the event the Trustee, the Depositor or the REO Owner requests the Servicer to provide special reports or data files or render other
related services to the Trustee, the Depositor or the REO Owner or any third party, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to provide said reports, data files, or related services subject to the payment of a separate fee to be determined in advance
by the Trustee, the Depositor or the REO Owner, as applicable, and the Servicer. The Servicer shall thereupon bill the requesting party for the cost of such reports, data files or related services including related delivery costs, in accordance with
the negotiated fee schedule. 
 2.6 Delinquency Control. 
 The Servicer shall in accordance with the Servicing Standard: 
 (a) Be responsible for protecting each Owner’s interest in the Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer’s delinquent mortgage servicing program shall include an adequate
accounting system which will immediately and positively indicate the existence of delinquent Loans, a procedure that provides for sending delinquent notices, and assessing late charges, and a procedure for the individual analysis of distressed or
chronically delinquent loans; 
 (b) Maintain a collection department and an on-line automated collection system that complies
with the Servicing Standard in all material respects; and 
 (c) Provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a month-end
collection and delinquency report identifying any delinquent loans, and from time to time as the need may arise, provide the Trustee and the Depositor with loan service reports relating to any items of information which

  

 19 








 
the Servicer is otherwise required to provide hereunder, or detailing any matters the Servicer believes should be brought to the special attention of the Trustee and the Depositor. 
 2.7 Foreclosure. 
 (a) The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with and subject to the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments or for other disposition of such Loan. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage that is not
covered by a hazard insurance policy or other insurance policy, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise. 
 Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, as an alternative to foreclosure, the Servicer may sell a defaulted Loan if the Servicer
determines that such a sale is likely to increase the amount of Liquidation Proceeds, and any such sale of a defaulted Loan by the Servicer shall be effected in a manner expected, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, to maximize Liquidation
Proceeds. The Servicer has no duty to pursue loan sales as part of its loss mitigation procedures. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on
the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect
to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Holder as beneficial owner of the related Trust, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person that regularly conducts environmental audits in accordance with customary industry standards, that: 
 (1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of
the related Trust and the Holder as the beneficial owner of such Trust to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and 
 (2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials for which investigation, testing,

  

 20 








 
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be
required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property. 
 With respect to each Loan, the Servicer shall make the determination described above on the basis of a report prepared by a Person that regularly conducts environmental audits in accordance with customary
industry standards, without regard to whether the Servicer has received notice or has actual knowledge of the presence of any toxic or hazardous substances on the related Mortgaged Property. 
 The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 2.7 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the
Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account in accordance with Section 2.3(d). 
 If the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trustee to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action
with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be
in the best economic interest of the Trustee. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as
provided in Section 2.3(d). 
 With respect to any commercial property, without regard to whether the Servicer otherwise has
notice or knowledge of the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance thereon, the Servicer shall use its reasonable best judgment, subject to the Servicing Standard, in determining whether to obtain an environmental audit report as described
above prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (b). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, the Servicer shall not foreclose upon any Mortgaged Property securing a Loan if in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer it
would not be in the best economic interests of the related Trust and the Holder as the beneficial owner of such Trust to foreclose upon such Mortgaged Property. In such event, the Servicer will not be required to make any Servicing Advances or any
other advances in connection with the Loan, and the Servicer will render a Final Recovery Determination in connection with the Loan. 
 2.8 REO Property. 
 Except to the extent that the Applicable Requirements provide otherwise, the following
provisions shall apply to the management and disposition of REO Property: 
  

 21 








 (a) At the option of the Servicer, the deed or certificate of sale to any REO Property may
be taken in the name of (i) the REO Owner, (ii) the Servicer on behalf of the REO Owner, (iii) IB Property Holdings, LLC, as designee of the Servicer on behalf of the REO Owner, (iv) any entity designated by the REO Owner or
(v) any other entity used by the Servicer to hold REO Property on behalf of investors and/or owners. 
 (b) The Servicer
shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held
in trust for the REO Owner (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Custodial Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer
shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account. 
 (c) The Servicer
shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and
operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the REO Owner. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited, in the REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property, which may be net of funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation: (i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property; (ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and (iii) all costs and expenses necessary
to maintain such REO Property. In addition, the Servicer may withdraw the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) to the extent the Servicer has not previously netted such amounts from its deposit. To the extent that amounts netted
by the Servicer and amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its
own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the
rental or sale of the REO Property. 
 (d) Upon request by the REO Owner or in the Servicer’s discretion, with respect to
any REO Property, the Servicer shall obtain broker price opinions from parties selected by the Servicer, and shall solicit, in a commercially reasonable manner, bids for the purchase of such REO Property. 
 Each REO disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably
determines to be in the best interest of the REO Owner and provided the sales price and the related terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the
Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Compensation and unreimbursed advances made pursuant
to this Section, and on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the date on which such sale proceeds are

  

 22 








 
received, the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be remitted to the REO Owner. The REO Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer or an Affiliate may
receive usual and customary real estate referral fees from real estate brokers in connection with the listing and disposition of REO. 
 (e) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 2.3(d), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances made in respect of
such REO Property or the related Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and remit to the REO Owner the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month,
net of any withdrawals made pursuant hereto. 
 (f) On or before February 28 of each year, the Servicer shall file
information returns (or extensions, if necessary) with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with
respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of
the Code and a copy thereof shall be sent to the REO Owner and the Depositor promptly after the filing thereof. 
 2.9 Books
and Records. 
 (a) Upon written request of the Trustee, the REO Owner, the Depositor or the Holder, the Servicer shall
furnish a detailed statement of its financial condition, shall give such requesting party or its authorized representative opportunity upon notice at any time during its normal business hours to examine the Servicer’s books and records and
operating procedures, or shall cause a nationally recognized certified public accountant selected and employed by it to provide the Trustee, the REO Owner and the Depositor not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the Servicer’s
fiscal year, with a certified statement of the Servicer’s financial condition as of the close of its fiscal year. The Servicer shall make its servicing personnel available during regular business hours to respond to reasonable inquiries from
the Trustee, the REO Owner or the Depositor. Any additional requests for loan audit or confirmations to be performed by the Servicer’s audit firm on the Loans shall be at the sole expense of the requesting party. The Servicer will keep records
in accordance with industry standards pertaining to each Loan and REO Property, and such records shall be the property of the related Owner and upon termination of this Agreement shall be delivered to the related Owner at the expense of the
applicable Trust or such REO Owner. 
 (b) The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the REO Owner and the Depositor, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and federal regulations), access to the documentation regarding the Loans, such access being
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. 
 (c) The Servicer shall advise the Trustee, the REO Owner, the Depositor and the Holder of any audit, investigation or examination by any government agency, or any putative class action, that

  

 23 








 
challenges in any material respect the Servicer’s servicing of Loans or the REO Properties of the Servicer’s ability to perform under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 2.10 No Delinquency Advances; No Non-Recoverable Advances. 
 (a) The Servicer shall not be obligated to make any advances for delinquent Monthly Payments or any credit losses in respect of any Loans or
REO Property. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made
hereunder by the Servicer if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance in the reasonable judgment of Servicer. 
 2.11 No Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Civil Relief Act Reductions. 
 (a) The Servicer shall not be obligated to make any payments with respect to prepayment interest shortfalls with respect to any Loans.

 In the event the Servicer is entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advances or other expenses incurred under this Agreement (including penalties, late fees or late charges incurred by the Servicer),
any such request for reimbursement shall be reasonably documented by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for
(i) Servicing Advances, (ii) penalties, late fees or late charges incurred by the Servicer, or (iii) expenses and costs incurred and reimbursable in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof that are in the aggregate in excess of
$1,000,000, the Servicer shall be entitled to request reimbursement from the Depositor by providing the Depositor with an invoice (and the documentation required in accordance with the previous sentence) on the Servicer Remittance Date. The
Depositor shall reimburse the Servicer in full no later than five (5) Business Days after such invoice has been provided. 
 The Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for the fees of any third-party Subservicer contracted by the Servicer to service any Loan in any jurisdiction in which the Servicer has not obtained the necessary licenses or the Servicer
otherwise deems it advisable. 
 2.13 HAMP Loans. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any HAMP Loan, the Servicer shall comply with the guidelines of
HAMP in the servicing of such Loan.

 Each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the applicable Owner; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall have no liability for any Servicing Files (or portions thereof) not delivered by the applicable Owner or its designee. The Servicer’s

  

 24 








 
possession of any portion of the mortgage loan documents shall be at the will of the applicable Owner for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Loan pursuant to this
Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Servicing File shall be vested in the applicable Owner and the ownership of
all records and documents with respect to the related Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in the applicable Owner and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of
the applicable Owner in such custodial capacity only. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with the written instructions of the applicable Owner. 
 2.15 Confidentiality/Protecting Customer Information. 
 Each party agrees that it shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer Information and shall maintain appropriate
administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Information, including, if applicable, maintaining security measures designed to meet the Interagency Guidelines Establishing

 ARTICLE IV 
 COMPENSATION AND SOLICITATION 
 4.1 Servicing Compensation.

 On each Servicer Remittance Date, with respect to each Loan and REO Property, the applicable Owner shall pay the Servicer the
Servicing Fee irrespective of Monthly Payments collected by

the Servicer on the Loan, a monthly refinancing fee (the “Refinancing Fee”) and a monthly third-party services fee (the “Third-Party Services Fee”), each as set

servicer designated by the Depositor at the Servicer’s cost and expense. In the event of any other material breach of any other provision of this Agreement by the Servicer, which breach is curable, the Servicer shall have thirty (30) days

 (b) In the event of a breach of the Servicer’s obligation to make any remittances required pursuant to Section 2.8, the REO Owner
shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer. If such breach is not cured by the Servicer within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the REO Owner may terminate this Agreement and require the prompt transfer of the related
REO Properties (to the extent that the Servicer has taken legal title to such REO Properties on behalf of the REO Owner), Servicing Files, documents, and data to the REO Owner or a successor servicer designated by the REO Owner at the
Servicer’s cost and expense. In the event of any other material breach of any other provision of this Agreement by the Servicer, which breach is curable, the Servicer shall have thirty (30) days to cure such breach. If such breach is not

to the REO Owner. If such failure is not cured by the REO Owner within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of such notice and such failure prevents the Servicer from its performance under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the
REO Properties, the Servicer, at its option, may terminate its servicing of the affected REO Properties under this Agreement and provide prompt written notice thereof to the REO Owner. Upon receipt of such notice, the REO Owner shall cause the
physical servicing of the affected REO Properties to be promptly transferred to the REO Owner or a successor servicer designated by the REO Owner. 
 At any time during the term hereof, the REO Owner may, without cause, by one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice to the Servicer and the Trustee, terminate this Agreement as to all but not
less than all REO Properties then being serviced; provided, however, the REO Owner shall reimburse the Servicer for the costs of any related servicing transfer. 
 Upon written request from the Depositor, the Holder or REO Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to a successor servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor’s possession all mortgage documents and do or cause to be done all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents to the successor servicer at the expense of the related Trust Fund and the delivery of all funds on deposit in any Custodial Account or any REO Account to the successor servicer. The
Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Depositor, the Holder or the REO owner and such successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to such successor servicer for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or REO Account or thereafter received with respect to the Loans and the REO Properties.

 In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated, the
Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise
under this Agreement. 
 Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement shall not affect any claims that the
Depositor, the Holder or the REO Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Servicer for all Servicing Advances made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as reasonably determined by the Depositor net of any amounts owed to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. In the event
that funds on deposit in the trust account for the related Trust are insufficient and consequently the Trustee is unable to reimburse the Servicer as required by this Section 5.3, the Depositor shall reimburse the Servicer for such unreimbursed
Servicing Advances.

 The Servicer shall not be liable to the Trustee, the REO Owner or the Depositor or its officers, employees, agents and directors for any actions or omissions to act in connection with the servicing of the

representations contained in this Agreement. 
 8.4 Procedure for Indemnification. 
 Promptly upon receipt of notice of any claim, demand or assessment or the commencement of any suit, demand, action or proceeding in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing
thereof in sufficient time for the Indemnitor to respond to such claim or answer or otherwise plead in such action. Except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby, the omission of the Indemnitee to promptly notify the Indemnitor of
any such claim or action shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have to the Indemnitee in connection therewith. If any claim, demand or assessment shall be asserted or suit, action or proceeding commenced against the
Indemnitee, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may wish to assume the defense, conduct or settlement thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that the Servicer as the
indemnitee shall be entitled to control the defense of any class action claim or claim of a Governmental Authority. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense, conduct, or settlement thereof, the
Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses consequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense, conduct or settlement thereof. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection
with any

  

 35 








 
such claim and make its personnel, books and records relevant to the claim available to the Indemnitor. In the event the Indemnitor does not wish to assume the defense, conduct or settlement of
any claim, demand or assessment, the Indemnitee will not settle such claim, demand or assessment without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 8.5 Survival. 
 The indemnifications, representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the resignation or termination of the Servicer. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 ANNUAL REPORTING; AUDITS 
 9.1 Servicer Compliance Statement.

Owner and the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, to the effect that (i) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance
under this Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in
all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the
nature and the status thereof. A statement of compliance delivered pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not be considered a notice of breach delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.

ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Changes in Practices. 
 The parties hereto acknowledge that the standard practices and procedures of the mortgage servicing industry change or may change over a
period of time. To accommodate

  

 36 








 
these changes, the Servicer may from time to time notify the Trustee, the REO Owner and the Depositor of such material changes in practices and procedures. 
 10.2 Assignment of Servicing; Use of Subservicers. 
 (a) This Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the REO Owner and the Depositor; provided, however, that this Agreement and the
rights and obligations of the Servicer shall be assumed by (i) any entity into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Servicer; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person
shall be an institution whose business includes the servicing of mortgage loans or (ii) any Affiliate of the Servicer in each case meeting the requirements of Section 7.9 hereof. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Depositor, the REO Owner and the Trustee for the servicing and administering of the Loans
and REO Properties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans and REO Properties. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Loans and REO Properties
when the Subservicer has actually received such payments and, unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Loans and REO Properties include actions taken or to
be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. 
 (c) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer, a
successor servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, the REO Owner and the Trustee, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each subservicing agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the successor
servicer elects to terminate any subservicing agreement in accordance with its terms. The successor servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
subservicing agreement to the same extent as if the subservicing agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the subservicing agreements to the
extent that such liability or obligations are incurred prior to the replacement of the predecessor Servicer. The Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon request of the successor servicer, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement and the Loans and REO Properties then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the subservicing agreements to the assuming party. 
  

 37 








 (d) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Depositor, the REO Owner and the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related subservicing agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Loans and REO Properties. The Servicer shall pay the
costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Loan or
REO Property or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. 
 (e) Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Loans and REO Properties involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an
originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone and none of the Trustee, the REO Owner or the Depositor shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have any claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to the Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 10.2(d) above. 
 10.3 Rights of Holder. 

 The Holder with respect to each Trust is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to

OF ACTION), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

control of the Servicer.
