the terms of each agreement executed under the Programs (e.g., trial modification agreements, loan modification agreements

and extinguishment agreements), which will be relied upon by Fannie Mae when calculating, as financial agent for the United

States, the Purchase Price to be paid by the Treasury through Fannie Mae or any other financial agent. Servicer agrees to

provide Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with documentation (including copies of executed borrower agreements) and other

inforruation with respect to any amounts paid by the Treasury as may be reasonably requested by such parties. In the event of

a discrepancy or error in the amount ofthe Purchase Price paid hereunder, at Fannie Mae's election, (x) Servicershall remitto

to the respective accounts of Investors and borrowers any portion of the Purchase Price to which they are entitled (if any)

notwithstanding such offset unless otherwise directed by Fannie Mae.

only with respect to Services that are determined by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to have been impacted by, or that Fannie Mae

or Freddie Mac believes may have been, or may be, impacted by, the findings giving rise to this remedy. Fannie Mae may

initially avail itself ofthis remedy in lieu of a specific declaration of an Event of Default, provided, however, that doing so

shall not preclude Fannie Mae from later declaring an Event ofDefault or exercising any other rights or remedies otherwise

available to it under this Section 6, or at law orin equity, in connection with the event giving rise to this remedy, or any future

events giving rise to this remedy.

I. The remedies available to Fannie Mae upon an Event ofDefault and an Act ofBad Faith under this Section are cumulative

prior to the end ofsuch thirty (30) day period. IfFannie Mae determines, in its sole discretion, that an Event ofDefault under

Section 6.A.l., Section 6.AA., or Section 6.A.5. is not curable, or ifan Event ofDefault under Section 6.A.2. or Section 6.A.3.

written notice oftermination to the Servicer on or before the effective date ofthe termination.

Fannie Mae and Servicer agree that it is in their mutual interest to resolve disputes by agreement. If a dispute arises under the

Agreement, the parties will use all reasonable efforts to promptly resolve the dispute by mutual agreement. If a dispute cannot

be resolved informally by mutual agreement at the lowest possible level, the dispute shall be referred up the respective chain of

command of each party in an attempt to resolve the matter. This will be done in an expeditious manner. Servicer shall

continue diligent performance ofthe Services pending resolution of any dispute. Fannie Mae and Servicerreserve the right to

pursue other legal or equitable rights they may have concerning any dispute. However, the parties agree to take all reasonable

steps to resolve disputes internally before commencing legal proceedings.
