name in the least conspicuous manner permitted by such Applicable Requirements. Owner/Servicer authorizes Subservicer to use Owner/Servicer’s logo, letterhead, service marks and trademarks to perform the services hereunder and Subservicer shall
display same pursuant to Owner/Servicer’s written directions and guidelines. Nothing herein grants Subservicer any right, title, or interest in Owner/Servicer’s logos, marks or trademarks. Subservicer will not at any time during or after
this Agreement register, attempt to register, or claim any interest in, any of Owner/Servicer’s logos, marks, and/or trademarks. Subservicer is hereby empowered to endorse or accept for deposit any check, wire or draft payable to Owner/Servicer

promptly correct any deficiencies giving rise to such failure. If any failure prevents or substantially interferes with Owner/Servicer’s ability to conduct its business, Subservicer will use best efforts to correct the failure as soon as

 Section 2.3
Procedure. 
 The procedures listed in this Section 2.3 are standard procedures applicable to Term Servicing Loans. Procedures for
servicing Interim Serviced Mortgage Loans are designated elsewhere in this Agreement. 
 Until the P&I of each Mortgage Loan is paid in
full, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject to all Applicable Requirements, Subservicer shall: 
  

	 	a.	 Collect from Mortgagors applicable payments of P&I, and applicable deposits for taxes, assessments and
other public charges that are generally escrowed, hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums as required, FHA insurance or PMI premiums, optional insurance premiums, and all other items, as they become due; 



 

	 	b.	 Accept payments of P&I and Escrow Payments only in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and
Applicable Requirements. Deficiencies or excesses in payments shall be accepted and applied, or accepted and not applied, or rejected in accordance with Applicable Requirements; 



 

	 	c.	 Apply all amounts, including P&I and Escrow Payments collected from or on behalf of the Mortgagor or
Investor, 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, Escrow Accounts, advances, and unapplied payments; 


  

	 	d.	 (i) Pending disbursement, deposit funds on the same Business Day as received by Subservicer with respect
to Mortgage Loans into a payment clearing account and transfer such funds the following Business Day into appropriate Escrow Accounts and Custodial Accounts at an institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC, in such manner as to show
the custodial nature thereof, and so that Investor and each separate Mortgagor whose funds have been deposited into such account or accounts will be individually insured to the applicable limits under the rules of the FDIC. Subservicer’s
records shall show the respective interest of Investor and each Mortgagor in all such Escrow Accounts and Custodial Accounts. All funds collected for P&I shall be maintained by and carried in records of Subservicer as “trustee” for
Investor, except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Requirements; 



  
 10 













 (ii) In addition, the Owner/Servicer may request Subservicer to have Owner/Servicer named as
a signatory to the related Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts established by the Subservicer. The Owner/Servicer shall provide Subservicer with any necessary documents, resolutions or officer’s certificates pertaining to adding
Owner/Servicer as a signatory to such Custodial Accounts or Escrow Accounts. To the extent that Owner/Servicer does have access to such Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts, the Owner/Servicer represents and warrants that it will not interfere
with Subservicer’s access to such Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts that will impair or impede Subservicer’s performance under this Agreement or cause the Subservicer to breach any account agreements with any depository related to any
such Custodial Accounts or Escrow Accounts, provided such agreements have been delivered to Owner/Servicer, or such agreements are substantially the same as those executed by Owner/Servicer, or the terms thereof are otherwise known by
Owner/Servicer. To the extent any third party instructed Owner/Servicer that it should have not access to any Custodial Account and/or Escrow Account, the Owner/Servicer shall promptly notify Subservicer so that Subservicer can adjust
Owner/Servicer’s access to such accounts. In addition to the forgoing, Owner/Servicer may establish Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts. 
  

	 	e.	 Pay, as a Servicing Advance, interest on Mortgagors’ Escrow Accounts that it maintains or controls
pursuant to sub-paragraph (d) above if any Applicable Requirement requires the payment of interest on such amounts to Mortgagors. As applicable, Subservicer will determine the amount of Escrow Payments to
be made by Mortgagors and will furnish to each Mortgagor, at least once a year, an analysis of each Mortgagor’s Escrow Account in accordance with Applicable Requirements; 



 

	 	f.	 With respect to administering, monitoring, and remitting Taxes, Insurance and other Lienable Items:



  

	 	1.	 For each Mortgage Loan, monitor and maintain accurate records on the status of Insurance and certain Lienable
Items. Subservicer will notify Owner/Servicer promptly following Subservicer’s discovery that HOA Fees are delinquent. If requested by Owner/Servicer, Subservicer shall make a Servicing Advance in accordance with Section 2.10 to pay
such delinquent HOA Fees, and in any event shall make a Servicing Advance to pay such fees if necessary to avoid a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the subject HOA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Owner/Servicer acknowledges
that Subservicer does not, nor is it obligated to, monitor or track payment of HOA Fees, unless such HOA Fees are included in a Mortgagor’s Escrow Payments. 



 

	 	2.	 For a given Mortgage Loan: 



(a) if Escrow Payments for the payments of Insurance or Lienable Items are required by the Mortgage and not waived or suspended, Subservicer
shall obtain and pay from the Mortgagor’s Escrow Account Deposits (i) Insurance premiums when due and (ii) all bills covered by the applicable
life-of-loan guaranteed tax service contract (“Tax Service Contract”) prior to the applicable penalty in a manner consistent with accepted servicing practices.


  
 11 













 When the funds in a Mortgagor’s Escrow Account are insufficient to pay an Insurance
premium or a Lienable Item when due, Subservicer shall proceed in accordance with paragraph 2(c) below. 
 (b) When Escrow Payments are not
required by the Mortgage or have been waived or suspended, then, (i) upon notification to Subservicer by the tax service provider that a Lienable Item was not paid, (ii) if Subservicer otherwise has actual knowledge of the non-payment of a Lienable Item or a required Insurance premium, or (iii) the Mortgagor fails to timely supply Subservicer with renewal policies of Insurance and evidence of prepayment of related premiums,
Subservicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Mortgagor, evidence of payment of the delinquent items and, if required, of the existence of required policies. 

If the Mortgagor fails to thereafter provide Subservicer with evidence of the payment of the delinquent item, Subservicer will proceed as set
forth in 2(c) below. 
 (c) If a Mortgage Loan requires a Servicing Advance for the payment of a Lienable Item or an Insurance premium,
Subservicer will, pursuant to Section 2.10, either make such Servicing Advance (except that in the case of a junior lien Mortgage Loan, Subservicer will make a Servicing Advance only upon Owner/Servicer’s approval) or interim bill
Owner/Servicer for such amount. Subservicer will seek reimbursement from the Mortgagor and unless prior to Subservicer’s next monthly invoice Subservicer has collected, from either (i) the Mortgagor or (ii) received payment from
Owner/Servicer pursuant to an interim billing, as contemplated by Section 2.10, Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for all outstanding deficiencies, and any other Servicing Advances made by Subservicer to protect the security of
Owner/Servicer and Investor, in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof. 
 In addition, if permitted to do so under Applicable
Requirements, Subservicer will establish an Escrow Account for a Mortgage Loan and will require the Mortgagor to fund such Escrow Account at the earliest practicable time. 

(d) If the Mortgagor fails to timely provide Subservicer with evidence of required Insurance, Subservicer will if necessary,
“lender-place” lapsed hazard, windstorm and/or flood insurance in at least an amount sufficient to protect Investor’s interest unless a different amount is required under Applicable Requirements. 

(e) Subservicer will take appropriate steps to recover Servicing Advances as quickly as Applicable Requirements permit. Unless collected by
Subservicer prior to Subservicer’s next monthly invoice, Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for such Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof. 

  
 12 













 (f) Subservicer will not be liable for any penalties, losses or Damages resulting from the
nonpayment of taxes in a timely manner in the event a Tax Service Contract is not established prior to the relevant next due bill request cutoff date or if once a Tax Service Contract is established, if such nonpayment is due to invalid, inaccurate
or missing data or a failure of the tax service provider. In the event a Tax Service Contract has not been established prior to the relevant next due bill request cutoff date or Subservicer has been unable to verify the validity, accuracy or
existence of the data with the tax service provider, Subservicer will use commercially reasonable efforts, including review of information provided by the tax service provider to Owner/Servicer relating to those Mortgage Loans with respect to which
Subservicer has commenced subservicing, to remit payment for taxes or such other recurring charges before any penalty date. For purposes of this Section, the term “bill request cutoff date” means the date by which the tax service provider
must submit a request for bills for tax or other recurring charges to the relevant taxing authority. 
  

	 	g.	 Maintain applicable FHA mortgage insurance, VA guaranty, PMI, or optional insurance, as applicable, in effect
on the Transfer Date, provided, however, that Subservicer shall not be obligated to make a Servicing Advance for payment of any optional insurance premium; and 



 

	 	h.	 Ensure that improvements on a Mortgaged Property are insured pursuant to Investor requirements by a hazard
insurance policy, with respect to first lien single-family Mortgage Loans; and with respect to junior lien single-family Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Loans secured by condominium units and cooperative shares only if Escrow Payments are collected
therefor, and a flood insurance policy, if required by Applicable Requirements. In addition, with respect to condominiums, Owner/Servicer acknowledges that Subservicer does not track the condominium master insurance policy, and with respect to
cooperatives, does not track insurance policies held by the cooperative corporation. 


  

	 	i.	 Subservicer will perform the services described in the MERS Summary Procedures with respect to all Mortgage
Loans where Subservicer is identified as the “Subservicer” in MERS, at Owner/Servicer’s cost and expense. Subservicer will modify the MERS Summary Procedures as appropriate to reflect changes in the requirements of MERS.



  

	 	j.	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Subservicer shall have no obligation to advance from
its own funds on behalf of Owner/Servicer or any other Investor any amounts in respect of Agency guarantee fees or buy-down or buy-up fees in respect of Agency guarantee
fees. 



  
 13 














	 	k.	 Subservicer shall notify Owner/Servicer of each new Corporate Litigation Matter within three (3) Business
Days of receipt by Subservicer. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Subservicer’s notice, Owner/Servicer shall either direct that such matter be managed by Owner/Servicer’s Legal Department or that Subservicer shall manage
such matter. If Owner/Servicer does not provide direction to Subservicer within three (3) Business Days of Subservicer’s notice, then Subservicer shall manage such Corporate Litigation Matter. In any event, Owner/Servicer reserves the
right to move its litigation matters, except matters subject to Section 8.2, from management by Subservicer to Owner/Servicer’s Legal Department, and the parties will work together to coordinate such a transfer in management.
Owner/Servicer acknowledges that exigent circumstances may arise that may require the Subservicer to act prior to Owner/Servicer’s receipt of notice or direction to handle a matter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subservicer
shall manage all Routine Litigation Matters and all litigation matters which are subject to Section 8.2. To the extent it is discovered that a matter being managed by Owner/Servicer is in fact subject to Section 8.2 herein, the Parties
will work together to transfer such matter back to Subservicer. The Subservicer shall be entitled to the Litigation Management Fee for each Corporate Litigation Matter managed by Subservicer, excluding litigation matters subject to
Section 8.2. In the event Owner/Servicer seeks to manage a matter which is not subject to Section 8.2, Subservicer shall cooperate with Owner/Servicer by obtaining or making available information, documents and personnel associated
with the Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably required by Owner/Servicer. In each such case, Subservicer shall be entitled to the Litigation Support Fee for such matter. Subservicer shall provide Owner/Servicer, with a monthly report
regarding all such litigation matters managed by Subservicer.

with: 
  

	 	a.	 By the dates indicated, documentation, data or such other information specified in the Transfer Instructions,
as applicable, to Subservicer or to such entities designated by Subservicer. If the information required by Subservicer in the Transfer Instructions is not timely provided, or contains missing, inaccurate or invalid data, or if the characteristics
of the portfolio or any Mortgage Loan materially differ from Eligibility Criteria, Subservicer may refuse to accept for subservicing those mortgage loans which do not comply with the Eligibility Criteria or cause the material differences in the
portfolio or adjust the fees contained in Exhibit II, as agreed by Owner/Servicer, as to all or some mortgage loans and accept the remaining Mortgage Loans for subservicing. In the event Owner/Servicer requests Subservicer to subservice mortgage
loans under this Agreement that are subject to a servicing agreement which Subservicer has not previously reviewed and approved, Owner/Servicer shall submit a copy of such servicing agreement to Subservicer for review at least thirty (30) days
prior to the requested Transfer Date. Based upon its review, Subservicer may refuse to accept such Mortgage Loans for subservicing under this Agreement or may adjust the fees set forth in Exhibit II, as agreed by Owner/Servicer, as to such Mortgage
Loans and accept the mortgage loans for subservicing. Subservicer shall furnish Owner/Servicer with written support for its denial to service, any fee adjustment and any material process or risk differences 



 

	 	b.	 Copies of any applicable documents or records which are necessary or appropriate for Subservicer to conduct the
subservicing of the Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, those set forth in the Transfer Instructions, and as deemed necessary by Subservicer to comply with Applicable Requirements. In addition, upon request by Subservicer, Owner/Servicer
shall provide Subservicer with the original Note, original recorded Mortgage, recorded assignments, title policy and original mortgage insurance certificate or VA Mortgage Loan guaranty certificate, if necessary to complete a satisfaction or
foreclosure action of a Mortgage Loan, or for any other purpose if required by Subservicer to properly administer and service the Mortgage Loan. Owner/Servicer acknowledges and agrees that unless specifically requested by and delivered to

 24 














	 	c.	 Reasonably complete and reasonably accurate electronic data and documentation for each Mortgage Loan submitted
hereunder to enable Subservicer to place and continue to subservice the Mortgage Loan on its computer system; 


  

	 	d.	 Prior to the release of notices to the Mortgagor set forth in Section 3.4 of Agreement, a complete listing
of any Mortgage Loans where the mortgage payment is inclusive of an optional insurance premium. This list will also provide the name of the insurance company; type of insurance coverage; premium amount; and the name and telephone number of the
individual at Owner/Servicer’s firm or affiliation knowledgeable as to such coverage; 


  

	 	e.	 Adequate electronic evidence that a hazard insurance policy is in force for each Mortgage Loan delivered to
Subservicer for subservicing and all notices regarding the various hazard insurance policies. Further, Owner/Servicer agrees to hold Subservicer harmless from any losses or Damages caused by insufficient evidence of hazard insurance coverage
delivered to Subservicer or any losses or Damages which occurred during a lapsed policy prior to delivery of the Mortgage Loans to Subservicer for subservicing; 



 

	 	f.	 With respect to all closed end, first and junior lien Mortgage Loans, Owner/Servicer shall, at
Owner/Servicer’s sole cost and expense, transfer any existing Tax Service Contracts to Subservicer and provide Subservicer with an electronic file identifying (A) tax type, payment frequency, payee code, tax amount last paid, next due

shall obtain a Tax Service Contract for such Mortgage Loans on behalf of Owner/Servicer. For each Tax Service Contract obtained by Subservicer Owner/Servicer shall pay Subservicer a fee set forth on Exhibit II and/or Exhibit III of this Agreement;



  

	 	g.	 Life-of-loan flood
certification contract from an issuer acceptable to Subservicer. If a Mortgage Loan is covered by a transferable life-of-loan real estate flood certification contract,
Owner/Servicer shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such contract to Subservicer; 


  

	 	h.	 To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Requirements, and only upon prior specific written request
from Subservicer for each document, copies of most recent FNMA, FHLMC, FHA, GNMA, HUD claims, VA and third party audits related to mortgage loans for review; 



  
 25 














	 	i.	 Copies of most recent audited financial statements, and annual financial statements thereafter within one
hundred twenty (120) days of year-end, throughout the term of this Agreement; provided, however, to the extent that the Subservicer does not receive such financials timely or reasonably determines such
financials to be unacceptable, the Subservicer shall notify Owner/Servicer in writing of its determination and such notice shall not be less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to Subservicer’s right to reject any Mortgage Loans that
were to be delivered under the New Loan Flow Transfer Instructions; 


  

	 	j.	 The name and address of all document custodians. All costs and expenses of said document custodians (including,
without limitation, those resulting from a change of document custodian) shall be the responsibility of Owner/Servicer; and 


  

	 	k.	 Funds in an amount necessary to properly fund the Mortgagors’ Escrow Accounts. 



Subject to Applicable Requirements, Owner/Servicer hereby expressly agrees that the Subservicer has no affirmative duty to validate any data
provided to it by Owner/Servicer, any prior servicer or any of their agents. In addition, to the extent that the Subservicer has not received all relevant information from the Owner/Servicer or any prior servicer, the Subservicer shall be under no
affirmative obligation to seek missing information or remediate the missing information and therefore, takes such Mortgage Loans “as is”. The Subservicer shall have no liability for prior servicing errors or to review any mortgage or
servicing file for any prior servicing errors, including without limitation, failures of prior servicer to adhere to Investor agreements. If the Subservicer can remediate any prior servicing errors it discovers in the ordinary course of servicing
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Requirements, the Subservicer will remediate such error, provided such remediation does not result in a material increase in Subservicer’s costs to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder. If the
Subservicer reasonably determines such remediation will result in material increased servicing costs, such remediation efforts shall be subject to pricing adjustment by the Subservicer. 

Without limiting anything in the immediately preceding paragraph, Subservicer shall provide Owner/Servicer with a daily exception report
(consisting of a “document to data scrub”) in respect of all Mortgage Loans boarded. Owner/Servicer acknowledges that (i) such exception report is derived solely from Mortgage Loan data furnished to Subservicer by or on behalf of
Owner/Servicer and (ii) Subservicer makes no representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of such exception report. 

Section 3.2 Pay-off of Mortgage Loan. 

Upon pay-off of a Mortgage Loan, Subservicer will request the Mortgage Loan documents from the
custodian, Investor, or Owner/Servicer, as the case may be, and upon receipt of same will prepare the appropriate discharge/satisfaction documents. If Owner/Servicer has provided Subservicer with a Corporate Resolution delegating authority to
Subservicer or Subservicer’s agent to execute such discharge/satisfaction documents on behalf of Owner/Servicer, Owner/Servicer and Subservicer may agree on procedures which would allow Subservicer to execute such discharge/satisfactions on
behalf of Owner/Servicer. Otherwise Subservicer will forward the documents to Owner/Servicer, who shall execute and return such discharge/satisfaction document to Subservicer in a 

  
 26 













 
timely manner that permits the recording thereof in accordance with Applicable Requirements. In lieu of returning such documents to Subservicer, Owner/Servicer may process the
discharge/satisfaction of the Mortgage. In the event that Subservicer does not receive each document which is required to effectuate such release, satisfaction or discharge more than five (5) days after Subservicer’s request therefor,
Subservicer shall have no liability for any penalty or other Damages that may be imposed for failure to discharge or cancel the Mortgage in accordance with any Applicable Requirements, and in such case Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for
any fee, expense or penalty that Subservicer may incur in connection with any such discharge, cancellation, or satisfaction as a result of Owner/Servicer’s or Investor’s failure to deliver necessary documents timely as specified herein.

 Section 3.3 Further Notification. 

Owner/Servicer shall provide Subservicer, upon delivery of each Mortgage Loan submitted for subservicing, with specific information required in
the Transfer Instructions regarding the Investor of such Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgage Loan delivered to Subservicer is later sold, with servicing retained by Owner/Servicer, Owner/Servicer will promptly notify Subservicer of the sale by electronic
delivery and will deliver a written copy of the new Investor’s purchase advice or funding detail report by facsimile, e-mail or overnight mail immediately thereafter. Subservicer will then reflect the new
Investor in its records, however, any penalty for late reporting, remittances, or otherwise imposed by such new Investor which is due to a delay by Owner/Servicer in notifying Subservicer of the purchase of the Mortgage Loan(s), shall be the
responsibility of Owner/Servicer. 
 During the term of this Agreement, Owner/Servicer shall provide Subservicer with all notices,
correspondence, subpoenas, summonses and other items immediately upon receipt of same by Owner/Servicer that relate to the Mortgage Loans. Subservicer shall not be responsible for any losses, Damages, costs or penalties incurred by Owner/Servicer,
Investor or third parties arising from the failure of Owner/Servicer to provide Subservicer with such documents as required. 
 Section 3.4 Notices
to Mortgagors and Others. 
 By no later than thirty (30) days prior to a Bulk Servicing Transfer, Owner/Servicer shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to Subservicer for approval a joint form or joint forms of a Mortgagor notification letter in connection with the transfer of subservicing responsibilities for the related Mortgage Loans by Subservicer. Not less than fifteen
(15) days prior to the scheduled Transfer Date or such later date as permitted by Applicable Requirements, Owner/Servicer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, the approved form of notification to the Mortgagors with respect to the transfer of the
servicing responsibilities for the related Mortgage Loans. The expense of the preparation, printing and mailing of such notices shall be borne by Owner/Servicer. Owner/Servicer also shall, at its expense, notify and instruct or cause to be notified
and instructed the applicable tax service and flood determination provider with regard to the Mortgage Loans, the custodian of the Mortgage Loan files, and all insurers, including mortgage insurance companies and taxing authorities to deliver all
tax bills, payments, notices and insurance statements, as applicable, to Subservicer on and after the applicable Transfer Date. Subservicer shall use the approved form of notification for all Mortgage Loans that are transferred to Subservicer until
notified by Owner/Servicer that such form is no longer approved. 

  
 27 













 As required by a Private Investor Agreement or Reconstitution Documents (as defined herein),
Subservicer shall provide the notice required by Section 404 of the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 with respect to the transfer of the Private Investor Loans to a Private Investor, at Owner/Servicer’s cost and expense (which
may be by Owner/Servicer causing such amounts to be paid by or on behalf of a Private Investor) including the applicable fee set forth on Exhibit III. 

Section 3.5 Instructions to Subservicer. 

Owner/Servicer shall provide instructions to Subservicer in accordance with Section 2.4(d) hereof regarding the processing of requests for
partial releases, easements, substitutions, division, subordination, alterations, or waivers of security instrument terms. 
 Section 3.6 Corporate
Resolution. 
 Owner/Servicer shall furnish Subservicer with a fully executed Corporate Resolution and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable
Subservicer to carry out its subservicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. 
 Section 3.7 Cooperation of Subservicer with a
Reconstitution. 
 Subservicer and Owner/Servicer agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, Owner/Servicer or a
Private Investor may affect Reconstitutions in the form of either Whole Loan Transfers or Securitization Transactions. 
 Subservicer and
Owner/Servicer acknowledge and agree that (i) Subservicer is not obligated hereunder to act as the named servicer or as a party to any proposed Private Investor Agreements and any other relevant documents or agreements (collectively, the
“Reconstitution Documents”) related to any such Reconstitution, and (ii) Owner/Servicer is not obligated hereunder to offer Subservicer the opportunity to act as servicer in any Reconstitution; provided, however, that Subservicer and
Owner/Servicer agree that if Subservicer continues to service Mortgage Loans that have been reconstituted pursuant to this Section 3.7, Subservicer will act as Owner/Servicer’s subservicer (and be named as such in the Reconstitution
Documents) and that the terms of this Agreement will control Subservicer’s and Owner/Servicer’s rights and obligations relating to any such Reconstitutions, except as otherwise may be provided in such Reconstitution Documents, but subject
to the applicable Reconstitution Acknowledgment. 
 Subservicer shall reasonably cooperate with Owner/Servicer and any Private Investor,
master servicer, depositor, trustee, rating agency, or other participant in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction contemplated by Owner/Servicer or a Private Investor pursuant to this Section 3.7;
provided, however, that under no circumstances and in no event shall such Reconstitution materially increase Subservicer’s liabilities or obligations beyond those liabilities and obligations contained in this Agreement, or
decrease Subservicer’s profitability from that provided for herein, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 3.7. Any such Reconstitution will be subject to Sections 2.14 and 9.1 herein, to the extent applicable, and the
parties will use their best efforts to complete any processes specified in such Sections in sufficient time to complete the Reconstitution. 

  
 28 













 In connection with any Reconstitution for which Subservicer will act as the subservicer for
Owner/Servicer, Owner/Servicer shall promptly notify Subservicer of such Reconstitution and provide a preliminary loan list at least thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of such Reconstitution, or such shorter period as provided in a
Private Investor Agreement applicable to Private Investor Loans subserviced hereunder. Owner/Servicer shall provide Subservicer with a complete and final list of Mortgage Loans related to any Reconstitution at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the scheduled closing date of the Reconstitution. In addition, any Mortgage Loans regarding which Owner/Servicer wishes to affect a Reconstitution must be transferred to Subservicer and live on Subservicer’s servicing system at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the closing date of such Reconstitution. 
 Owner/Servicer agrees to deliver any Reconstitution Documents
related to any Reconstitution to Subservicer at least (a) thirty (30) days in the case of a Mello Mortgage Capital Acceptance, (b) twenty (20) days in the case of either a J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp. or Goldman Sachs Mortgage
Company Reconstitution for which there are no material changes to the documents and thirty (30) days if there are material changes to the documents, and (b) forty-five (45) days in the case of any other Reconstitution with a new
party, prior to the closing date for each such Reconstitution. Subservicer shall have no liability to Owner/Servicer for failing to effectuate a Reconstitution if Owner/Servicer fails to provide such notice or deliver such documents in a timely
manner. If any Reconstitution involves the establishment of new custodial or escrow account(s), the Owner shall provide information on the naming of the accounts no less than twenty (20) days in advance of the closing date of any such
Reconstitution, or as soon thereafter as available. To the extent permitted in connection with any Reconstitution, Owner/Servicer shall provide Subservicer with an opportunity to suggest the titling of any such custodial and/or escrow account(s),
and Subservicer shall promptly respond to requests for such suggestions. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the “Closing Date” (as
defined in the related Reconstitution Document) for any Reconstitution that is a Securitization Transaction under which Subservicer shall continue to service the related Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by a Reconstitution Acknowledgment, Subservicer
shall service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and provisions contained in the related Reconstitution Documents, subject to the following: (i) Section 2.10 shall continue to apply with respect to any Private Investor Loans,
(ii) Subservicer shall be under no obligation to pay compensating interest for prepayment interest shortfalls, and (iii) subject to Section 2.10, Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for Servicing Advances. Subservicer shall
promptly review any Reconstitution Documents and/or related documents. Subject to the second paragraph of this Section 3.7, and provided Subservicer and Owner/Servicer have agreed to a servicing change subject to Section 2.14 or 9.1 or
pricing adjustment for such Reconstitution as provided for in this Section 3.7, Subservicer shall acknowledge in substantially the form of Exhibit XVI attached hereto (the “Reconstitution Acknowledgment”) that it will act as
Owner/Servicer’s subservicer or for the benefit of an Investor related to such Reconstitution Documents and/or related documents. 

  
 29 













 Owner/Servicer hereby agrees to pay Subservicer for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Subservicer (excluding costs and expenses relating to activities performed by any in-house counsel)
that relate to reviewing and commenting on the Reconstitution Documents for such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction in the amount set forth in the Exhibits II and III. In addition, in respect of each Reconstitution, Owner/Servicer
will pay to Subservicer the applicable fees set forth on Exhibit III. 
 Owner/Servicer shall indemnify Subservicer and hold it harmless
from and against any liability that it may sustain arising out of information contained in any offering document related to a Reconstitution (other than arising out of any information furnished by Subservicer in connection with such Reconstitution
related to Subservicer’s servicing practices or the performance of the Mortgage Loans set forth in any such offering documents). 

Subservicer acknowledges that as a result of a Reconstitution, the subject matter of this Agreement may be subject to private and public
Securitization Transactions and that Subservicer may be asked by Owner/Servicer to provide various reporting and information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and related properties subject to such Reconstitutions pursuant to
Regulation AB. Subservicer agrees to cooperate with Owner/Servicer with respect to all reasonable requests imposed on Owner/Servicer under the related Reconstitution Documents which may be required of servicers, subservicers and subcontractors under
Regulation AB (regardless of whether directly applicable to a Securitization Transaction), including providing any necessary reporting or information necessary in order to comply with such Reconstitution Documents and Regulation AB. Subservicer
acknowledges that any reports required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as well as compliance statements required by
Item 1123 are reasonable requests within the meaning of the paragraph. The foregoing provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The foregoing is subject to Sections 2.14 and 9.1 herein, and/or Subservicer’s right
to any applicable fees set forth in Exhibits II and III. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Owner/Servicer will (i) until such time as Subservicer’s subservicing system is developed to meet Reg AB II reporting
requirements, only engage in transactions that do not require such Reg AB II reporting compliance, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to request Subservicer’s assistance pursuant to this paragraph only to the extent that
required information and any related assistance otherwise to be requested of Subservicer is not readily and commercially reasonable available to and/or easily transmittable from Owner/Servicer at the time of such request in a reasonably convenient
format meeting all Applicable Requirements.

Days prior notice from Owner/Servicer via the agreed upon automated method, Subservicer shall undertake all steps necessary to transfer the servicing of an Interim Serviced Mortgage Loan to any successor servicer designated by Owner/Servicer, except
that Subservicer shall not prepare any assignment of Mortgage necessary to effect transfer of ownership of any Interim Serviced Mortgage Loan that is serviced-released pursuant to this Section. 

At any time during the term(s) hereof, Subservicer may, without cause, by one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to
Owner/Servicer, terminate this Agreement as to any or all Mortgage Loans then being subserviced, without the need for the payment of any Exit Fees by Owner/Servicer. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, an Exit Fee shall not be payable upon a payoff of a Mortgage Loan by a
Mortgagor, or removal of a Mortgage Loan from Subservicer’s subservicing system upon assignment to HUD or private mortgage insurer, completion of a foreclosure action or other acquisition of title to a REO. 

Section 5.3 Termination for Cause. 

In the event of a party’s material default in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, which default is curable by the
defaulting party, the defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days to cure such default after written notification is delivered by the non-defaulting party to the defaulting party. If the default is
either not cured within the thirty (30) day period, or is a default of such a type as to be incapable of being cured, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement upon five (5) days written
notice, and require the immediate transfer of all Mortgage Loans and related documents and other data and information related to the Mortgage Loans from Subservicer to Owner/Servicer or Owner/Servicer’s designee. 

A party additionally shall also have the right to terminate for cause if the other party, at any time during the term of this Agreement
(i) has its rights to service for FHLMC, FNMA or GNMA suspended or terminated, (ii) is declared to be in default of its agreements with FHLMC, FNMA or GNMA or loses any other permits or licenses necessary to carry out its responsibilities
under this Agreement, or (iii) becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or is placed under conservatorship or receivership. Upon occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the non-defaulting party may
immediately terminate this Agreement for cause, without any further liability to the non-defaulting party, except for amounts due a party prior to termination. 

In addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement, the party terminating for cause shall be entitled to all costs of collection and
all costs related to the transfer of the Mortgage Loan documents and other data and information related to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, if Subservicer is the party terminating for cause, Subservicer shall be entitled to the payment of Exit Fees
in accordance with Exhibit II hereof. 

  
 33 













 Should any act or failure to act of Owner/Servicer result in a failure to complete the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit I to Subservicer for subservicing within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Contract Date, Subservicer, in its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
Owner/Servicer. Owner/Servicer shall thereupon pay to Subservicer, Subservicer’s expenses incurred in the design and implementation of plans to permit conversion of the Mortgage Loans onto Subservicer’s servicing systems. For the purposes
of this Section, expenses shall include: third party costs incurred by Subservicer, and Subservicer’s internal and staffing costs and expenses. 

The rights of termination, as provided herein, are in addition to all other available rights and remedies, including the right to recover
Damages in respect of any breach.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement as to any or all Mortgage Loans, in addition to Exit Fees payable to Subservicer hereunder,
Owner/Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for all costs reasonably incurred in connection with the expiration or termination of subservicing and return of documents and other information regarding the Mortgage Loans then subserviced to
Owner/Servicer, Owner/Servicer’s designee, or Investor or Investor’s designee. If applicable, these costs include, but are not limited to, reasonable and documented third party costs incurred by Subservicer directly attributable to the
return of the documents and other information regarding the Mortgage Loans. In addition, to the extent that, in connection with the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Owner/Servicer requests additional services from Subservicer beyond the
services contemplated in the Service Release Transfer Instructions, Subservicer shall be entitled to additional fees for such additional services, which fees shall be based upon Subservicer’s hourly project support rates set forth on Exhibit
II. In addition, in the event Investor terminates subservicing of any Mortgage Loans, Owner/Servicer shall, with respect to the affected Mortgage Loans, (i) reimburse Subservicer for Subservicer’s actual expenses and any Servicing Advances
made on behalf of Owner/Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) pay for all other amounts due Subservicer hereunder including the applicable Exit Fee in respect of each affected Mortgage Loan. 

In the event that Subservicer’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement are terminated by Owner/Servicer or by Subservicer,
Subservicer shall discharge its 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 that it is obligated to exercise
under this Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Subservicer without cause shall not become effective until either
(i) ninety (90) days, in the case of Owner/Servicer’s termination without cause or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days following the termination without cause by the Subservicer (each of the foregoing, a “Termination
Period”). In the event the Owner/Servicer fails to transfer the 

  
 34 













 
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to a successor servicer at the end of the related Termination Period, the Subservicer shall be entitled to increase base fees, for each Mortgage Loan and REO
Property for each additional month beyond the Termination Period, that the Subservicer must service the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to: (x) first month beyond the Termination Period: $5 per Mortgage Loan and REO Property, (y) second
month beyond and each additional month thereafter beyond the Termination Period: $15 per Mortgage Loan and REO Property.

Owner/Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as applicable, all records and documents relating to each Mortgage Loan then subserviced and will advise Mortgagors that their mortgages will henceforth be serviced by
Owner/Servicer, Owner/Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee. 
 Section 5.6 Servicing Transfer Procedures. 

 

	 	(a)	 Upon termination on expiration of the subservicing of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
Subservicer will follow the procedures set forth in the Service Release Transfer Instructions. If additional services are required to transfer the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, Subservicer will, at Owner/Servicer’s expense, reasonably
cooperate with the successor servicer in transferring the servicing. 


  

	 	(b)	 In addition to the Service Transfer Instructions, in the event this Agreement is terminated in whole or in
part, the Subservicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Owner/Servicer and with any party designated as the successor servicer in transferring the servicing to such successor servicer in accordance with Applicable Requirements, including
sending the transferor’s notice of transfer of servicing or “goodbye letter” in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law. The Owner/Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Subservicer to provide any required information
necessary to complete an orderly servicing transfer which shall include a loan schedule no less than thirty (30) days prior to the actual servicing transfer date (the “Termination Date”). 



 

	 	(c)	 Within five (5) Business days following the Termination Date, the Subservicer shall deliver to the
successor servicer any and all Mortgage Files in the possession of the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall provide the successor servicer with the net funds held in the Escrow Account and suspense funds related to the Mortgage Loans within five
(5) Business Days following the Termination Date. 


  

	 	(d)	 If the Subservicer is named as the mortgagee of record, the Subservicer may prepare certain documents which are
necessary to effect the transfer of servicing from the Subservicer, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents at the




  
 35 














	 	
Owner/Servicer’s request. The Subservicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS system the Owner/Servicer or its designee as the beneficial holder with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. All reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the preceding two sentences and otherwise in connection with any transfer of servicing shall be borne by the Owner/Servicer. 


 

	 	(e)	 The Subservicer shall invoice Owner/Servicer for the estimated Exit Fees with respect to any deconversion at
least thirty (30) days prior to any such deconversion and Owner/Servicer shall pay such estimated Exit Fees within five (5) days following receipt of such invoice. In addition, if available funds within fifteen (15) Business Days
prior to the Termination Date are insufficient to pay the Subservicer any amounts due, the Owner/Servicer shall pay to the Subservicer an amount that is sufficient to cover amounts due to the Subservicer. Any funds related to the transferred
Mortgage Loans held by the Subservicer after reimbursement to the Subservicer of the foregoing amounts will be remitted to the Owner/Servicer or its designee promptly following the Termination date. In addition, the Owner/Servicer shall cause
the Subservicer to be reimbursed within five (5) Business Days of request for any trailing expenses representing Servicing Advances or other amounts due for which invoices are received by the Subservicer after the Termination Date.



  

	 	(f)	 In addition, the Sub-Servicer shall provide reasonably detailed back up
support relating to Servicing Advances, fees and costs in connection with any servicing transfers. The Subservicer and the Owner/Servicer agree to cooperate in good faith to reconcile any issues or discrepancies relating to reimbursement of
Servicing Advances, fees and costs in connection with a servicing transfer.

Each Party shall provide prompt written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders
injunctions, decrees or any other third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”); provided, however, the failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided
hereunder unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure and had no actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, the
indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the other party. In the event the other party concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to indemnifying party, the other party shall have the right to select and retain separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself at its own cost and expense unless the indemnifying
party has declined the indemnified party’s tender of defense or has not employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; provided however, if the
indemnifying party engages counsel not later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date of an answer or other responsive pleading, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to have engaged counsel within a reasonable time after receiving notice
of the commencement of the action. Neither party shall consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim.
Further, each party assuming the defense shall provide monthly reporting to the other party on each Third Party Claim. 
 Upon discovery by
either Subservicer or Owner/Servicer of a first party claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the discovering Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of such claim, which notice shall specify the provision of this Agreement
pursuant to which indemnity is or can be sought, the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim (taking into account the information then available), the representation, warranties, covenants or agreements alleged to have been breached (if
applicable) and the amount of such claim (if then determinable). The failure to promptly notify will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the rights available to the indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced
as a result of such failure, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. 
 Section 8.5 Privacy. 

Subservicer shall comply with all Applicable Requirements designed to secure the financial privacy of Mortgagors. Subservicer and
Owner/Servicer agree not to disclose or otherwise share Nonpublic personal information with a Nonaffiliated third party except in compliance with Applicable Requirements. The parties acknowledge that the Customer relationship
with the Mortgagor remains with Owner/Servicer as owner of the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loan. Owner/Servicer will provide all privacy disclosures 

  
 42 













 
or notices to the Mortgagors as required by Applicable Requirements. The parties agree to provide each other on a timely basis with Mortgagor requests that Nonpublic personal information
not be shared. Subservicer acknowledges the ongoing responsibility it has to comply with Applicable Requirements governing the privacy and security of Mortgagor Nonpublic personal information, including but not limited to, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
and regulations issued pursuant thereto (12 CFR Part 570, App B—Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards) and Subservicer will implement and maintain an Information Security Program as required by such
regulations. As used in this section, the italicized terms shall have the meanings ascribed therefor in 12 CFR 573.3. 
 Subservicer shall
take appropriate actions to contain and mitigate any (i) actual or suspected loss, disruption, or misuse of Owner/Servicer’s Customer Information, regardless of whether in electronic or hard copy form; (ii) other malicious or unlawful
unauthorized access to Owner/Servicer’s data, regardless of whether in electronic or hard copy form; or (iii) overt act or attempt to gain unauthorized access to, disrupt, or misuse Subservicer’s systems utilized or accessed by
Subservicer in connection with Servicer’s provision of products or services to Owner/Servicer (a “Data Security Event”), including notification to Owner/Servicer’s primary and backup contact person(s) as soon as possible, but at
most within forty-eight (48) hours of learning of a confirmed Data Security Event (subject to any delay required by applicable law). To the extent available following such confirmation, such notifications shall include a detailed summary of the
Data Security Event including data elements and number of records exposed/misused and the corrective action to be taken by Subservicer. If Subservicer does not have a complete inventory of affected information, Subservicer shall provide a summary of
the details available. Subservicer will reasonably cooperate with Owner/Servicer and provide any additional available information requested by Owner/Servicer regarding the Data Security Event. Subservicer shall not disclose the existence of a Data
Security Event, including to Owner/Servicer‘s customers, consumers, or the general public, without the express written permission of Owner/Servicer, except that Subservicer shall be permitted to disclose any Data Security Event to its
prudential regulator and others as required by Applicable Requirements. 
 Section 8.6 Survival. 

The confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 9.14, indemnifications, representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive
expiration or termination of this Agreement or any SOW. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.1 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. Material changes in practices or procedures may increase the cost of subservicing beyond that contemplated by the parties at the time of this Agreement. For the purposes of this paragraph, a change in practice or
procedure is deemed to be material if such change is required to comply with 

  
 43 













 
changes in Applicable Requirements and/or Investor requirements and such compliance by Subservicer is substantially more burdensome and costly to Subservicer. To accommodate these changes,
Subservicer may, from time to time, notify Owner/Servicer of such material changes in practices and procedures and proposed changes in the subservicing fee to reflect such material changes. It is understood that prior to imposing any increased
subservicing fee, Subservicer must reasonably demonstrate to Owner/Servicer that the increase in the subservicing fee is directly related to Subservicer’s additional costs in implementing the change in policy or procedure and that the increase
is in keeping with those other servicers throughout the mortgage servicing industry and is not unique to Subservicer. Should any such proposed change in the subservicing fee made in good faith by Subservicer nevertheless be unacceptable to
Owner/Servicer, and should Owner/Servicer and Subservicer fail to agree on an increase in the subservicing fee that would be acceptable to both parties, then such subservicing fee shall remain unchanged. Subservicer shall thereafter have the option
(i) to continue to subservice the Mortgage Loans already being subserviced and all future Mortgage Loans at the existing subservicing fee under the terms of this Agreement, (ii) continue to subservice the Mortgage Loans already being
subserviced at the existing subservicing fee and provide ninety (90) days advance written notice to Owner/Servicer that Subservicer will not thereafter accept any additional Mortgage Loans for subservicing under the terms of this Agreement, or
(iii) terminate this Agreement without cause upon one hundred twenty (120) days advance written notice to Owner/Servicer. 
 Section 9.2
Assignment. 
 This Agreement may be assigned only with the written consent of both Owner/Servicer and Subservicer. The sale of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of Owner/Servicer or Subservicer, or the transfer of a controlling interest in Owner/Servicer or Subservicer, shall not be deemed an assignment of this Agreement for purposes of this Section. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, an Owner/Servicer Change in Control involving a Competitor Subservicer shall be deemed to be an assignment which requires Owner/Servicer’s termination of this Agreement by Owner/Servicer in accordance with
Section 5.2 hereof on or prior to the effective date of such Change in Control. 
 Section 9.3 Prior Agreements. 

If any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any prior agreements between the parties, oral or written, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and after the Contract Date of this Agreement, the relationship and agreements between Owner/Servicer and Subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be governed in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.4 Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be modified in any
respect except by an amendment in writing signed by both parties. 

  
 44

Section 9.9 Waivers. 
 Either
Owner/Servicer or Subservicer may, upon written consent and notice to the other: 
  

	 	a.	 Waive compliance with any of the terms, conditions or covenants required to be complied with by the other
hereunder; and 


  

	 	b.	 Waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the other hereunder. 



The waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other
subsequent breach. 
 Section 9.10 Binding Effect. 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. 

Section 9.11 Headings. 
 Headings of
the Articles and Sections in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed to have any substantive effect. 
 Section 9.12
Force Majeure. 
 Each party will be excused from performance under this Agreement, except for any payment obligations for services that
have been or are being performed hereunder, for any period and to the extent that it is prevented from performing, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other party or any act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor
dispute, pandemic (excluding COVID-19 unless the severity of the pandemic has materially increased since the date of this Agreement and such increase has a material adverse effect on Subservicer’s ability
to perform under this Agreement), third party nonperformance or other cause beyond its reasonable control, including failure, fluctuations or nonavailability of heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment. A party excused from
performance pursuant to this Section shall exercise reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and shall thereafter continue with reasonable due diligence and good faith to remedy its inability to so perform,


  
 46 













 
except that nothing herein shall obligate either party to settle a strike or labor dispute when it does not wish to do so. Such nonperformance will not be a default or a ground for termination as
long as the party uses commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously remedy the problem causing such nonperformance and to execute its disaster recovery plan then in existence. 

Section 9.13 Non-Solicitation of Employees. 

Owner/Servicer and Subservicer agree that neither party will solicit the services of any employee of the other party during the term or any
extensions of this Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner/Servicer and Subservicer understand and agree that the following shall not constitute solicitation under this Section:
(i) employment solicitations directed to the general public at large, including without limitation newspaper, radio and television advertisements, and (ii) an employment solicitation directed by a party to an employee of the other party,
and any related communication, that occurs after a communication regarding employment that was initiated by the employee. 
 Section 9.14
Confidentiality. 
 Neither party may disclose any of the terms of this Agreement or any Proprietary Information to anyone else except:

  

	 	a.	 to its officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants to the extent required
to enable them to perform their duties to that party; or 


  

	 	b.	 as required by Applicable Requirements, or 



 

	 	c.	 subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement, to a bona fide prospective acquirer of all or
substantially all of the business and assets of a party as part of such prospective acquirer’s due diligence; or 


  

	 	d.	 in any legal, regulatory, equitable or arbitration proceeding involving this Agreement. 



Each party will cause its officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants to abide by the requirements of the
foregoing provisions. 
 Before making any disclosure of this Agreement or any of its terms under item b. or d. above, the party planning to
make the disclosure will notify the other party of the intended disclosure and of the reason for the disclosure. 
 For purposes of this
Agreement, the party receiving Proprietary Information is referred to herein as “Recipient”, the party disclosing Proprietary Information is referred to herein as “Discloser” and “Proprietary Information” of a party
shall mean: (i) information disclosed by such party relating to product development strategy and activity, marketing strategy, corporate assessments and strategic plans, pricing, financial and statistical information, accounting information,
identity of suppliers, software, systems, processes, formulae, inventions, discoveries, policies, guidelines, procedures, practices, disputes or litigation, (ii) confidential, proprietary or trade secret information orally


  
 47 













 
disclosed by such party and identified as such on the date of its first disclosure, with a written summary thereof provided to Recipient within thirty (30) days of disclosure,
(iii) confidential, proprietary or trade secret information disclosed by such party that is clearly and conspicuously identified in writing as such at the time of its first disclosure, (iv) confidential, proprietary or trade secret
information disclosed by such party, which a reasonable person would recognize as such, (v) information disclosed by such party relating to employees, contractors or customers which, if released, would cause an unlawful invasion of privacy,
including, but not limited to (A) “NonPublic Personal Information” as defined by Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law No. 106-102) and the regulations promulgated pursuant
thereto which are applicable to a Discloser with regard to the customers and consumers of a Discloser and (B) “Consumer Information,” as defined by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-159) and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, together with any other nonpublic personal information and identifying information of or about consumers, applicants, clients or customers
protected under applicable state and local law, and (vi) any compilation or summary of information or data that contains or is based on Proprietary Information. For purposes of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) all Proprietary Information disclosed by a party shall be deemed to be the Proprietary Information of such party, including, but not limited to, third-party confidential, proprietary or
trade secret information that such party is obligated to protect, and (B) information shall be deemed to be disclosed by a party if such information is disclosed by any of its partners, affiliates, officers, employees, directors, contractors,
agents or representatives or is otherwise disclosed on behalf of such party. For the avoidance of doubt, Subservicer will provide no Proprietary Information that is prohibited from public disclosure except in accordance with 12 C.F.R. 510.5. 

Exclusions. The restrictions on use and disclosure set forth above shall not apply when and to the extent that the Proprietary
Information: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public or widely known in the mortgage industry through no fault of Recipient (or anyone acting on its behalf); (ii) was previously rightfully known to Recipient free of any obligation
to keep it confidential; (iii) is subsequently disclosed to Recipient by a third party who may rightfully transfer and disclose such information without restriction and free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (iv) is independently
developed by Recipient without reference to Discloser’s Proprietary Information, or (v) is required to be disclosed by Recipient by applicable law or regulatory action, provided that Recipient uses all reasonable efforts to provide
Discloser with at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such disclosure and Recipient discloses only that portion of the Proprietary Information that is legally required to be furnished pursuant to the opinion of legal counsel of Recipient.

 Equitable Relief. Because of the unique and highly confidential nature of the Proprietary Information, Recipient acknowledges and
agrees that Discloser may suffer irreparable harm if Recipient breaches any of its obligations under this Section, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies
that may be available to Discloser at law and in equity, Discloser shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief, and Recipient shall not assert as defenses that an adequate remedy at law exists and/or
that Discloser will not be irreparably harmed.

applicable statute of frauds, because they were accepted and/or signed in electronic form. Each party further acknowledges and agrees that it will not contest the validity of enforceability of a signed facsimile copy of this Agreement or
electronically imaged signatures, such as pdf files and related documents on the basis that it lacks an original handwritten signature. Facsimile or such electronically imaged signatures shall be considered valid signatures as of the date thereof.
