to sell some or all of the Mortgage Loans to one or more purchasers as a whole loan transfer in a
whole loan or participation format or a public or private mortgage-backed securities transaction;

-15-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

Seller as evidenced by the
actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Initial Purchaser on
the related Closing Date.

          SECTION 3. Mortgage Loan Schedules. The Seller shall deliver the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for a Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the
Initial Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date.

          SECTION 4. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan listed on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related
Confirmation (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by its Stated Principal
Balance as of the related Cut-off Date. If so provided in the related Confirmation, certain
of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately.

          In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Initial Purchaser shall pay to the
Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
Loan as of the related Cut-off Date at its Net Mortgage Rate from the related Cut-off Date

Mortgage Loans at the Net Mortgage Rate (minus that portion of any such interest payment that is

Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application to the reduction of
principal of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not
collected. Therefore, for the purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and
interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the
principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus the applicable
Servicing Fee) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid
amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser,
for remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser on the first related Distribution Date. All payments
of principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date following the
related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.

          SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files. In addition to the rights granted to the
Initial Purchaser under the related Confirmation to underwrite the Mortgage Loans and review the
Mortgage Files prior to the Closing Date, prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at
the Initial Purchaser’s option (a) deliver to the Initial Purchaser or its designee, in escrow, for
examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased on such Closing Date, the related
Mortgage File, including the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make
the related Mortgage File available to the Initial Purchaser for examination at the Seller’s
offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Initial Purchaser and the
Seller. Such examination may be made by the Initial Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable
time before or after the related Closing Date. In connection with any

-16-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

such examination, the Initial
Purchaser and its designee may not contact any Mortgagor or any employer of a Mortgagor or any
other third party for purposes of verification of information in the Mortgage File or otherwise,
without the prior written consent of the Seller. If the Initial Purchaser makes such examination
prior to the related Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the
terms of the related Confirmation, the terms of this Agreement or the Initial Purchaser’s
underwriting standards, such Mortgage Loans may, at the Initial Purchaser’s option, be rejected for
purchase by the Initial Purchaser. If not purchased by the Initial Purchaser, such Mortgage Loans
shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Initial Purchaser may, at its option
and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of any Mortgage Loan Package without
conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Initial Purchaser has conducted
or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall
not affect the Purchaser’s (or any of its successors’) rights to demand repurchase or other relief
or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

          SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser.

          Subsection 6.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing
Files.

          The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver
to the Initial Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
Package in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4. The Servicing File retained by the Seller
with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in
the Seller’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by
it only in accordance with this Agreement.

          Subsection 6.02. Books and Records.

          Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date
shall be in the name of the Seller, the Initial Purchaser, the Custodian or one or more designees
of the Initial Purchaser, as the Initial Purchaser shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the
Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out
of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller after the
related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be
vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such
funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be received
and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the assignee of the Purchaser,
as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the

-17-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

Seller. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller’s
business records, tax returns and financial statements.

          Subsection 6.03. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

          The Seller shall deliver and release to the Custodian the Mortgage Loan Documents no later
than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date. If the Seller cannot deliver the
original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly
upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 120 days from the Closing Date, deliver such
original recorded documents to the Custodian (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery
by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording
office). If delivery is not completed within 120 days of the related Closing Date solely because
such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall
deliver such document to the Custodian, within such time period as specified in a Seller’s
Officer’s Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in
the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent Seller’s
Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Seller’s
Officer’s Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be
repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. The Seller shall use its best
efforts to effect delivery of all delayed recorded documents within 180 days of the related Closing
Date. If delivery of all Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to any Mortgage Loan is not
completed within 360 days of the related Closing Date, then, at Purchaser’s option, the Seller
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Subsection 7.03.

          The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this
Agreement within two weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the
Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or
a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and

thirty (30) or more days delinquent
as of the Closing Date and there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any
payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve months; and, if the Mortgage Loan is a
Cooperative Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code
has ever been threatened or commenced with respect to the Cooperative Loan;

          (iv) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, or other outstanding charges affecting the related
Mortgaged Property;

          (v) The terms of the Mortgage Note and (x) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a
Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage and (y) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Pledge Agreement,
the Proprietary Lease, and the Pledge Instruments, have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording
office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to
the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and
has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in
connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which
assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the Financing Statements with respect to each Cooperative Loan
are in full force and effect;

          (vi) The Mortgage Note and with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is not a Cooperative Loan,
the Mortgage and, with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Pledge Agreement are not subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. Each
Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and
collectible under applicable federal, state and local law;

          (vii) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property and with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the
related Project are insured by a Qualified Insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of the Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have
been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood
Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which
policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae

-22-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

and Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at
Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

          (viii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, predatory and abusive
lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws
applicable to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans at origination have been complied with;

          (ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in
part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or
in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

          (x) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a first
lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including
all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and with respect to Cooperative Loans, including the
Proprietary Lease and the Cooperative Shares, subject only to (a) the lien of current real property
taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights
of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s
title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely
affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and
enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case, as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property described therein and the Seller has full
right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date
of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or
other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

          (xi) The Mortgage Note and (x) with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage and
(y) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Pledge Agreement are genuine and each is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

-23-

 

 EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

          (xii) All parties to the Mortgage Note and (x) with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage and (y) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Pledge Agreement had legal capacity to
enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage or
Pledge Agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage or Pledge Agreement have been duly and
properly executed by such parties;

          (xiii) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder
and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid,
and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee
pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

          (xiv) The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and
with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage and with respect to
any Mortgage Loan which is a Cooperative, the Pledge Agreement,
and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of
any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

          (xv) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

          (xvi) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable
rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in
the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above) the
Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien (as indicated on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and,
with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment provisions of the Mortgage Note. Additionally,
such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the
Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under
such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the
Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s
title insurance policy;

          (xvii) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with

-24-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration. With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is
in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with
the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, (iv) either (A) the first lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the
second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure
any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage, (v) the related first
lien does not provide for or permit negative amortization under such first lien Mortgage Loan, and
(vi) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the first lien or such
consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File;

          (xviii) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

          (xix) All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except
for non-conforming improvements that do not materially adversely affect the Appraised Value;

          (xx) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a
commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;

          (xxi) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage
Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day
of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, are sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with
respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only
Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date,
and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed ten (10)
years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration
of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize
the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at
the related

-25-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

Mortgage Interest Rate. No Mortgage Loan has a term greater than thirty (30) years.
The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No
Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan or a Balloon Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan provides
for negative amortization.;

          (xxii) The origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to each Mortgage
Note and Mortgage including, without limitation, the establishment, maintenance and servicing of
the Escrow Accounts and Escrow Payments, if any, since origination, have been in all respects
legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The
Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the
terms of the Mortgage Note and Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and
Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the
Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or
payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being
held by the Seller for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;

          (xxiii) The Mortgaged Property (and with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Unit
and related Project) is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total
or partial condemnation thereof;

          (xxiv) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in
the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy
laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act;

          (xxv) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in
effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms
acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or to secondary investors generally;

          (xxvi) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of
the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable
security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (x) above;

          (xxvii) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was on appraisal form 1004 or form 2055 with
an interior inspection and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Seller, who had

-26-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

no interest, direct or
indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation
is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum
qualifications of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989;

          (xxviii) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor;

          (xxix) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or
partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the
Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other
than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a
“buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage
Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

          (xxx) The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all
disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of fixed rate mortgage
loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, and adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans,
and such statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;

          (xxxi) The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can
reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, or adversely
affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;

          (xxxii) No Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 95%. Each Mortgage
Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a Primary Insurance
Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of
the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by Fannie Mae. All
provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to
any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and
to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the
Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. No Mortgage Loan is subject to a lender
paid primary mortgage insurance policy;

          (xxxiii) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law; all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of
the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,

-27-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

          (xxxiv) No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including without limitation
the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such
Mortgage Loan;

          (xxxv) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form, except for the name of the assignee
which is blank, and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;

          (xxxvi) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term.
The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as
having first or second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien priority by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by
other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount
does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

          (xxxvii) If the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit
in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium
or planned unit development project meets the eligibility requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac;

          (xxxviii) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months;

          (xxxix) The Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all applicable environmental
laws pertaining to environmental hazards including, without limitation, asbestos, and neither the
Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgagor, has received any notice of any
violation or potential violation of such law;

defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E);

          (xliii) No predatory, abusive, or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to,
the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the

agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor

Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a
rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor was offered the
option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the

          (lii) The Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations,
including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering
Laws”); the Seller has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the
Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the
origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with
respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the said
Mortgagor to purchase the Mortgaged Property, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient
information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive
Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States
Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the
OFAC Regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or the OFAC
Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC Regulations;

          (liii) No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by
the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify
taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If,
at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a for a lower cost credit
product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the
Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting

grade available with respect to a mortgage loan product offered by such Mortgage Loan’s originator,
based on a comprehensive assessment of risk factors, including the Mortgagor’s credit history;

          (liv) Reserved;

Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (a)
$1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such loan, whichever is greater, such 5% limitation is
calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the
Fannie Mae Guides. For purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (a) include origination,
underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and other charges that the lender imposed as a condition of
making the loan, whether they are paid to the lender or a third party, and (b) exclude bona fide

hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for

with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage
Loan were disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state
and federal laws and regulations;

Mortgage Loans are permitted hereunder, such Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements for inclusion
in residential mortgage backed securities transactions rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services

four-family residence that is (or will be) the principal residence of the Mortgagor upon the
origination of the second lien Mortgage Loan;

          (lvii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of
the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1);

          Subsection 7.03. Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

          It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections
7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the
benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage
Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. Upon
discovery by the Seller of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which
materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser
(or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a
particular Mortgage Loan), or in the event that any Mortgagor fails to make the first payment due
to the Purchaser following the Closing Date, the Seller shall give prompt written notice to the
Purchaser.

          Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by the Seller, or notice to the Seller, of
any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a
Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the Purchaser’s interest in a Mortgage Loan
or the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in
all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s
option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall
involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 and such breach cannot be cured
within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of
the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase
Price. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such
Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided
that such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date.
If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage
Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection
7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the
Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the
next scheduled Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is
understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in
Subsections 7.02(viii), (xlii), (xliii), (xliv) (li), (liii), (liv), (lv), (llvi), (lvii), (lviii),
or (lxxv) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan
or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

          At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall
arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the
Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the
event the Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously
with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon
such repurchase the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of
the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

          As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the

-35-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

Purchaser
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by the Custodial
Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the
Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained
by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such
substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to
have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

          For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount
equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied by the greater of 100% or the
Purchase Price percentage specified in the related Confirmation shall be distributed by the Seller
in the month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the date of such
substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal
to such amount.

          In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify
the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser and hold them harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion
based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller’s representations and
warranties contained in this Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to
indemnify the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03
constitute the sole remedies of the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser respecting a
breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

          Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage
Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the
Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as
specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant
provisions of this Agreement.

default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection with any repurchase or substitution of a
defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Subsection 7.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the
Seller’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in
Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time.

Mortgagor within thirty (30) days of such Due Date or (ii) the first Monthly Payment on any
Mortgage Loan due following the Cut-off Date is not made by the related Mortgagor within thirty
(30) days of the related Due Date, then, in each such case, the Seller shall repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loans at the Purchase Price, which shall be paid as provided for in
Subsection 7.03. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of any such default under this
Subsection 7.04(a) within thirty (30) days of any such Mortgage Loan becoming thirty (30) days
delinquent.

          (b) Purchase Price Protection. In the event that any Mortgage Loan prepays-in-full
within three (3) months following the related Closing Date, Seller shall remit to the Initial
Purchaser an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the percentage of par as stated
in the related Confirmation as the purchase price percentage (subject to adjustment as provided
therein) over (B) 100%, times (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of
the Cut-off Date. Such obligation to the Initial Purchaser shall survive any sale or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans by the Initial Purchaser to any third party and shall be independently
enforceable by the Initial Purchaser.

          SECTION 8. Closing. The closing for each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place
on the related Closing Date. At the Initial Purchaser’s option, the closing shall be either:
by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person,
at such place as the parties shall agree.

this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the related Closing Date and no
event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would
constitute a default under this Agreement;

Servicer and such Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance
made by the Seller and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall
be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act;

     (3) cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Seller pursuant to
Section 13.06(ii) to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item
1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor an
assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i)
and (ii) of this Section; and

     (4) if requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor not later than February 1 of the
calendar year in which such certification is to be delivered, deliver to the Purchaser, any
Depositor and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the certification (a
“Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act
(pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed
issuer with respect to a Securitization Transaction a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 14.

The Seller acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (i)(4) above may rely on the
certification provided by the Seller pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification
and filing such with the Commission. Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor will request delivery
of a certification under clause (i)(4) above unless a Depositor is required under the
Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity whose asset
pool includes Mortgage Loans.

          (ii) Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 13.05(i)(1)
shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially
in the form of Exhibit 15 hereto delivered to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date
of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section
13.05(i)(3) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by
the Seller pursuant to Section 13.06.

          Subsection 13.06. Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

          The Seller shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill any
of the obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement
unless the Seller complies with the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section. The Seller shall
not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not permit any
Subservicer to hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the

obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement unless
the Seller complies with the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section.

          (i) It shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of the Purchaser, any Master
Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. The Seller shall cause any
Subservicer used by the Seller (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any
Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section and with Sections 13.02, 13.03(iii), (v),
(vi) and (vii), 13.04, 13.05 and 13.07 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer
were the Seller, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under
Section 13.03(iv) of this Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement
required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 13.04, any assessment of compliance and
attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 13.05 and any certification
required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes
Certification under Section 13.05 as and when required to be delivered.

          (ii) It shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of the Purchaser, any Master
Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Seller shall promptly upon
request provide to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor (or any designee of the
Depositor, such as an administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and such Depositor) of the role and function of each
Subcontractor utilized by the Seller or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such
Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the
Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor
identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

          As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the
Seller shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Seller (or by any Subservicer) for the
benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 13.05 and
13.07 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Seller. The Seller
shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Purchaser and any
Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such
Subcontractor under Section 13.05, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

          Subsection 13.07. Indemnification; Remedies.

          (a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the Purchaser, any Master
Servicer and each of the following parties participating in a Securitization Transaction: each
sponsor and issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, any Master Servicer, if
applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed
with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a
certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to
such Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or
initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the

Exchange Act); and the respective
present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing
and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and
against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
arising out of or based upon:

     (i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in
any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material provided
in written or electronic form under this Section 13 by or on behalf of the Seller, or
provided under this Section 13 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or
Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Seller Information”), or (B) the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Seller Information a material fact required to be stated in
the Seller Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of
clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to
the Seller Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a
sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Seller Information or any
portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

     (ii) any breach by the Seller of its obligations under this Section 13 or any failure
by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver
any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as
required under this Section 13, including any failure by the Seller to identify pursuant to
Section 13.06(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB; or

     (iii) any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
13.02(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(ii) and made as of a date prior
to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that
such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a
representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(ii) to the
extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or

          (iv) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection with its
performance under this Section 13.

          If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an
Indemnified Party, then the Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such
Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other.

          This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any
party to this Agreement.

          In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the
Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and

each Person
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the
Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification
pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain
the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.

          (b)(i) Any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party
Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material
when and as required under this Section 13, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 13.02(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(ii) and
made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction or any breach
by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(ii)
to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in
clause (ii) of this paragraph, and to the extent that such breach or delivery failure is not cured
by the Seller by the earlier of (A) the date which is two (2) Business Days following such breach
or delivery failure or (B) the date immediately prior to the closing date of the related
Securitization Transaction, immediately and automatically, without notice, constitute an Event of
Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution
Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its
sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement (notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) and, if the Seller is
servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction; provided that, to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the
Seller as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

     (ii) Any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section
13.04 or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Seller to identify
pursuant to Section 13.06(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten
calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and
shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole
discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller; provided that
to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution
Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following
termination of the Seller as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

     Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Seller pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure of the Seller
to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such
Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.

     (iii) The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the
Purchaser, such as a Master Servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are
incurred, in connection with the termination of the Seller as servicer and the transfer of
servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other
provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise,
whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or
injunctive relief.

          SECTION 14. The Seller.

          Subsection 14.01. Additional Indemnification by the Seller.

          In addition to the indemnification provided in Subsection 7.03, the Seller shall indemnify the
Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser and hold them harmless against any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Initial Purchaser and any
subsequent Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement including but not limited to its obligation to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 12.

          Subsection 14.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

          The Seller shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a bank
under the laws of the state of its formation except as permitted herein, and shall obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which
such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans, and to enable the Seller to perform its duties under this
Agreement.

          Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

          Subsection 14.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others.

          Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under
any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
in good faith in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, or
for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any
such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute
or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its obligation to sell or duty to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its
incurring any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of
the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities for which the Purchaser shall be liable, the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses, costs and liabilities
are subject to the Seller’s indemnification under Subsections 7.03 or 14.01.

          Subsection 14.04. Seller Not to Resign.

          The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except by mutual written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the
determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller in which event the Seller may resign as servicer.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller as servicer shall be evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be
in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser and which shall
be provided at the cost of the Seller. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner
provided in Section 17.

          Subsection 14.05. No Transfer of Servicing.

          The Seller may not assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or
duties hereunder or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that no such consent shall be
required in connection with any merger, consolidation, or other transaction permitted by Subsection
14.02.

continuing, that is to say:

     (i) any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one (1)
Business Day after the date upon which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

     (ii) any failure by the Seller to perform any of the covenants or agreements herein
related to Regulation AB, which continues unremedied after any notice or grace period
provided in Section 13 with respect to such failure; or

     (iii) failure on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material
respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth in this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (except that such
number of days shall be fifteen (15) in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any
insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Seller by the Purchaser; or

     (iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or

     (v) the Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or

     (vi) the Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment
of its obligations; or

     (vii) failure by the Seller to be in compliance with the “doing business” or licensing
laws of any jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property is located, except where such failure
will not materially adversely affect the Seller’s ability to service the related Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; or

-55-

 

 EXHIBIT 10.5

     (viii) the Seller ceases to meet the qualifications of either a Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac seller/servicer; or the Seller is not eligible to act as servicer for mortgage loans
subject to residential mortgage backed securities transactions rated by any nationally
recognized rating agency or is eligible to act as such only with enhanced credit support; or

     (ix) the Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the
Seller attempts, without the written consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the
servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion
thereof; or

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser
may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement. On or
after the receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the Seller to
service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement shall on the date set forth in such notice pass to
and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 17;

          Subsection 15.02. Waiver of Defaults.

          The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

          SECTION 16. Termination. The obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, as
servicer, shall not be terminated except as provided in this Section 16 or in Sections 14.04 and
15.01. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, as servicer, shall terminate
upon the distribution to the Purchaser of the final payment or liquidation with respect to the last
Mortgage Loan (or advances of same by the Seller) or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder unless terminated with respect to all or a portion of the
Mortgage Loans on an earlier date at the option of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 15.
Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Seller
shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the
Purchaser’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise,
at the Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor
in effecting the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer,
including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash
amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Custodial Account, REO Account or
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

          SECTION 17. Successor to the Seller. Prior to termination of Seller’s
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04, 15.01 or 16, the
Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and
assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller as servicer under this
Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities
as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the
Seller 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, and shall take no action
whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of the Purchaser or
such successor. The termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 17 and
shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Subsection 7.03 or
7.04, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04
and 14.01 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of
the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

          Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement and
the Custodial Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and Seller shall
indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the Seller’s acts as servicer.
Any termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to Section 12, 15 or 16 shall not affect any
claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or
resignation or remedies with respect to such claims.

          The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account, REO
Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to
more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller as
servicer. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller
for amounts the Seller actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor
is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

          SECTION 18. Financial Statements. The Seller understands that in connection with the
Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to prospective
purchasers the Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years
respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make available

-57-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

any comparable
interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are
available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The
Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the
statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information on its servicing
performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

          The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and
servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective
purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing
practices or the financial statements of the Seller.

          SECTION 19. Mandatory Delivery: Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery of
each Mortgage Loan on or before the related Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of
the execution of the related Confirmation, it being specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages
would be insufficient to compensate the Initial Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by
the Initial Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the
event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage
Loans otherwise acceptable to the Initial Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The
Seller hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each
Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the
performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such
Mortgage Loans in custody for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser’s (i) right to
reject any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the related Confirmation, and (ii)
obligation to pay the related Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the
Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies
under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.

          SECTION 20. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such
demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date
delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered
or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

          SECTION 21. Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation or
warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty
of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or
renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit
intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to
develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the
economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

          SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          SECTION 23. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE

CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

          (A) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW

EXECUTION COPY

YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY
THEREOF;

          (B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

          (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING
A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE
PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 20; AND

          (D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          SECTION 24. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that
the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a
debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each
intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and
a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall have the
right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences
of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made
by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such review.

          SECTION 25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors
and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any
Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing and
to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or
transferred. Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall
succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of
the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be
deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and such Purchaser, and a
separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and each other Purchaser to the extent of
the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans. In the event that this Agreement is assigned to
any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or
transferred, the rights and benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall
inure to the benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and the
Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has been transferred;
provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be

repurchased by the Seller pursuant
to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04 shall be retained solely by the Purchaser. This Agreement shall
not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent
of the Purchaser.

          SECTION 26. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or
modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against
whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

          SECTION 27. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated
and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

          SECTION 28. Nonsolicitation. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser covenants and
agrees that it shall not take any action to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan
following the date hereof or provide information to any other entity to solicit the
refinancing of any Mortgage Loan. In addition, neither the Purchaser nor any of its agents,
affiliates, or assignees shall solicit any Mortgagor for any other financial products or
services. The foregoing shall not preclude either party from engaging in solicitations to
the general public by newspaper, radio, television or other media which are not directed
toward the Mortgagors or from refinancing the Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without
solicitation, contacts such party to request the refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan.

          SECTION 29. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement,
except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

	 	(c)	 	references herein to “Articles,” “Sections,” “Subsections,”

	 	(d)	 	reference to a Subsection without further reference to a
Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in

other subdivisions;
	 
	 	(e)	 	the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of

EXHIBIT 10.5

	 	(f)	 	the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation

which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c)
financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished,
may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature

a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

          SECTION 31. Third Party Beneficiary. For the purposes of Section 13 related to
the requirements for delivery of reports on Assessment of Compliance, attestation reports,
statements of compliance, back-up Sarbanes certification and additional monthly reporting

this Agreement.

          SECTION 32. Further Agreements. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to
execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents,
instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of
this Agreement.

          SECTION 33. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with applicable
Confirmations constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect
to the matters and transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, except to the extent
otherwise set forth in writing, supersedes any prior agreement and understandings with
respect to those matters and transactions; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and any Confirmation, the terms of the latter shall
control.

          SECTION 34. Force Majeure. The Seller and the Purchaser shall be excused for
the period of any delay in the performance of any obligations under this Agreement (other
than the payment of money) when prevented from performing such
obligations by cause or causes beyond their reasonable control, including, without
limitation, civil commotion, war, invasions, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped
power, sabotage, pestilence, riots, fire or other casualty or acts of God.

Mill Valley, CA 94904

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Re:
	 	Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2006

Gentlemen:

          I have acted as counsel to First Republic Bank, a                                          (the “Seller”), in
connection with the sale of certain mortgage loans by the Seller to Redwood Trust, Inc. (the
“Purchaser”) pursuant to (i) a Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
July 1, 2006, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”) [and the
Confirmation, dated                     , 200_, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Confirmation”)].
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.

          In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction,
have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my
satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

	 	A.	 	The Purchase Agreement;
	 
	 	B.	 	[The Confirmation;]
	 
	 	C.	 	The Seller’s [Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws][certificate of
limited partnership and limited partnership agreement], as amended to
date; and
	 
	 	D.	 	Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Seller with
specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by
this opinion (the “Board Resolutions”).

          For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal
examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied
upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other
representatives of the Seller, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which
factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed,
among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to

 

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copied documents.

          On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject
to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the
opinion that:

          1. The Seller has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Nevada with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business as presently conducted by it. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to service
the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase
Agreement [and the Confirmation (sometimes collectively, the “Agreements”)].

          2. The Purchase Agreement [and the Confirmation] have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Seller.

          3. The Purchase Agreement [and the Confirmation] constitute valid, legal and binding
obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective
terms.

          4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government
agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the
Purchase Agreement [and the Confirmation], or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement [and the Confirmation], except for those consents, approvals, authorizations
or orders which previously have been obtained.

          5. Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller as provided in the Purchase
Agreement [and the Confirmation,] nor the fulfillment of the terms of or the consummation of any
other transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement [and the Confirmation] will result in a
breach of any term or provision of the Articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or, to
the best of my knowledge, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which
the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of                      or federal statute or
regulation applicable to the Seller, or (iii) any order of any State of                      or federal
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Seller, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material
adverse effect on the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase
Agreement.

          6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my
knowledge, threatened against the Seller which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in
the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be
likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.

-2-

 

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION COPY

          The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:

          A. I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Seller have all requisite
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under each of the
Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of such parties, have been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

          B. My opinion expressed in paragraphs 3 and 7 above is subject to the qualifications that (i)
the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1)
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or
other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles
of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of
the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the
application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such
enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity,
legality, binding effect or enforceability of (a) provisions for indemnification in the Agreements
to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy or (b)
Section 19 of the Purchase Agreement.

          C. I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or
understandings among the Seller, the Purchaser and any other party which would expand, modify or
otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or
obligations of the parties thereunder.

          I am admitted to practice in the State of                     , and I render no opinion herein as to
matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of                      and the Federal
laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,

ASSIGNMENT AND CONVEYANCE

          On this                      day of                     , 200_, FIRST REPUBLIC BANK (“Seller”) as the Seller under that
certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2006 (the
“Agreement”) does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to Redwood Trust, Inc. as
Purchaser under the Agreement, without recourse, but subject to the terms of the Agreement, all
rights, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule attached hereto, together with the related Mortgage Files and all rights and obligations
arising under the documents contained therein. Pursuant to Subsection 6.03 of the Agreement, the
Seller has delivered to the Custodian the documents for each Mortgage Loan to be purchased. The
contents of each related Servicing File required to be retained by the Seller to service the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser are and shall be
held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Seller’s
possession of any portion of each such Servicing File is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole
purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Agreement, and such
retention and possession by the Seller shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each
Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Mortgage File and Servicing File is vested in the
Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser

SERVICING ADDENDUM

          Subsection 11.01 Seller to Act as Servicer.

          The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and this Agreement and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with
the terms of this Agreement.

          Subject to the above-described servicing standards, the specific requirements and prohibitions
of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans, and the provisions of any primary insurance
policy and applicable law, the Seller shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any
and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall, and is
hereby authorized and empowered to (i) execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loan and with respect to the
Mortgage Property and (ii) waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to the
related Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is in the interests of the Purchaser and is not prohibited
by a primary insurance policy; provided, however, that the Seller may not, unless it has first
obtained the consent of the Purchaser, permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would vary the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of interest or of any
principal, reduce the outstanding principal amount (other than as a result of its actual receipt of
payment of principal on ), extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, or accept
substitute or additional collateral or release any collateral for a Mortgage Loan. If reasonably
required by the Seller, the Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of an Assignment or a
Securitization Transaction for which the Seller continues to service any Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of a Mortgage Loan that
could cause any REMIC holding such Mortgage Loan to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or 860G(d) of the Code on any REMIC holding such
Mortgage Loan.

          In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall employ procedures
including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and
exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due
consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the
Purchaser’s reliance on the Seller.

 

 

     The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the Financing
Statements and shall file and such Financing Statements and continuation statements as necessary,
in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related
Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security interest and lien of the
Purchaser.

     With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has been (or becomes) delinquent 30 days or more at
least once since origination, the Seller has fully and accurately furnished complete information
(i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on the related borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and
Trans Union Credit Information Company, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
implementing regulations, on a monthly basis and, for each Mortgage Loan, the Seller will furnish,
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and
complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit
Information Company, on a monthly basis;

     With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has been (or becomes) delinquent 30 days or more at
least once since origination, the Seller will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan, Seller
agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new origination,
current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off;

          Subsection 11.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

     Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are
paid in full, the Seller shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage
Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance
Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable
to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Seller shall take special care in
ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard
insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the
Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors
will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

          Subsection 11.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

          (a) The Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller
would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Subsection
11.01. In addition, if an Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan becomes a defaulted Mortgage Loan,
the Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to realize upon the related Additional Collateral, and
any proceeds from the realization thereof, and not such Additional Collateral itself, shall be
included in the related Liquidation Proceeds and deposited in the Custodial Account, net of any
related Servicing Advances. The Seller shall use its best

-2-

 

efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt
of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of
foreclosure proceedings and any proceedings with respect to Additional Collateral. The foregoing
is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the
Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Subsection 11.05. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not
paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any
other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any
applicable grace period, the Seller shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best
interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains
delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, the Seller shall (a) act in the best interests
of the Purchaser, (b) commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing
foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Seller’s intention
to do so, and the Seller shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to
such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice and (c) respond to reasonable
inquiries of the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loan or related REO property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may not sell a delinquent Mortgage Loan unless it has
obtained the consent of the Purchaser. The Purchaser may instruct the Seller to commence
foreclosure proceedings on any Mortgage Loan for which any payment remains delinquent for a period
of 120 days or more. The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement
of foreclosure proceedings and thereafter periodically advise the Purchaser of the status of the
foreclosure proceedings and follow the Purchaser’s instructions in connection therewith. . In such
connection, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Seller has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the
presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property the Seller 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 Purchaser 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 Seller has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits using 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

-3-

 

interest of the Purchaser 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, 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
Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged
Property.

          The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Subsection 11.03 shall be
advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial
Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(vi).

          If the Seller determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the
Purchaser 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 Seller shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser. The cost of any
such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to
the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection
11.05(vi).

          (c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in
respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Seller for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Subsection
11.05(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the
Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such
Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Seller as follows:
first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then
due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iv).

          Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial
Accounts.

          The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage
Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand

-4-

 

accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account
Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.

          The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the
following payments and collections received by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

	 	(i)	 	all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	all Liquidation Proceeds;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant
to Subsections 11.10 and 11.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan
documents or applicable law;
	 
	 	(v)	 	all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing
procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	all Monthly Advances;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with
Subsections 7.03 and 7.04 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in
connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans pursuant to Subsection 7.03;
	 
	 	(viii)	 	any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to
Subsection 11.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard
insurance policy. Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without
reimbursement therefor;
	 
	 	(ix)	 	any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any
REO Property pursuant to Subsection 11.13;
	 
	 	(x)	 	any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to
Subsections 11.19 or 11.20; and
	 
	 	(xi)	 	with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full, an amount (to be paid
by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) which, when added
to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with such Principal
Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the
Mortgage Interest Rate, provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of
deposits made by the Seller pursuant to this clause (xi) exceed

-5-

 

	 	 	 	the aggregate amount of the Seller’s servicing compensation in the calendar
month in which such deposits are required.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Subsection 11.01,
need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Such Custodial Account shall be an
Eligible Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the
depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled
to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii).
The Seller shall give notice to the Purchaser of the location of the Custodial Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.

          If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of
business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely
pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Seller shall, on or before
twelve o’clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Custodial Account any and
all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.

          Subsection 11.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

          The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following
purposes:

	 	(i)	 	to make distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner
provided for in Subsection 11.14;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse
itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the
related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) respecting which any such advance was made it being understood that, in the
case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights
of Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage
Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement
shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant
to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, and all other amounts required to be paid to the
Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Seller’s
right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Seller from the
Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in
the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, the Seller’s

-6-

 

	 	right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser
of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04 and all other amounts
required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;
	 
	 	(iv)   to pay to itself pursuant to Subsection 11.22 as servicing compensation
(a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be
withdrawn monthly not later than each Distribution Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee
from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage
Loan;
	 
	 	(v)   to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been
repurchased pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or Subsection 7.04 all amounts received
thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is
determined;
	 
	 	(vi)   to reimburse the Seller for any Monthly Advance previously made which the
Seller has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance;
	 
	 	(vii)   to pay, or to reimburse the Seller for advances in respect of, expenses
incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 11.03(b), but
only to the extent of amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to which
such expense is attributable;
	 
	 	(viii)   to clear and terminate the Custodial Account on the termination of this
Agreement.

     The Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan
basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such
subclauses (ii) — (vii) above. The Seller shall provide written notification in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date, upon
making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above.

          Subsection 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

          The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage
Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or
demand accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by Escrow Account Letter
Agreement in the form of Exhibit 8.

          The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain
therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii)
all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged
Property. The Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such

-7-

 

payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set
forth or in accordance with Subsection 11.08. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest
paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on
escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the
Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow
Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

          Subsection 11.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

          Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller (i) to effect timely payments of
ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy
premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing
Advance made by the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received
on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv)
for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Seller, or to
the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

          Subsection 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of
Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

          With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the
status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a
lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and
hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such
charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the
applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts
allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall
have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does
not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the
Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

          The Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a
Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such
coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced
to that amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Seller
will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance

-8-

 

Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement
unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non- renewed policy is obtained
from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would
result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the
actions of the Seller, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 11.19, the Seller
shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such
assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take
all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage
under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of
such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary
Insurance Policy as provided above.

          In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on
behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under
any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Subsection 11.05.

          Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

          The Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository
institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the
Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account
and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

          Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

          The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount,
subject to the limits of insurability required by applicable law, which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements
which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the sum of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the related first
lien mortgage loan, if applicable, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is
necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate
Map issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood
insurance has been made available, the Seller will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a
generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount of
insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Seller also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and
hazard insurance with extended

-9-

 

coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the
Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances, liability insurance and, to the extent
required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to
Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any such policies other than amounts to
be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal
servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Subsection 11.05. Any cost incurred by the Seller in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so
permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be
required by the Seller of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the
Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be
in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller, or upon request to the Purchaser, and
shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in
the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with
the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided,
however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies
unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of A:VI or better in Best’s Key
Rating Guide, are acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are licensed to do business in the
state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

          Subsection 11.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

          In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy
issued by an issuer that has a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide of A:VI insuring against hazard
losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy
provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and
otherwise complies with all other requirements of Subsection 11.10, the Seller shall conclusively
be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Subsection 11.10, it being understood
and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a
policy complying with Subsection 11.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would
have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable
under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the
Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of
such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that
such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Purchaser.

-10-

 

          Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

          The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to
the Mortgage Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of
the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such
persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection
with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the
release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.12 requiring the fidelity bond
and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance
policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie
Mae Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers’ and Servicers’ Guide. Upon
request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true
copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that
such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified
without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser.

          Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

          In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the person
designated by the Purchaser. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser
shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the
Purchaser.

          The Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in
the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. If a
REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans
and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such
REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the
Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the
Code. The Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of
title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter. The
Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall
be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the
Purchaser. The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as
possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken
to such REO Property, unless the Seller

-11-

 

determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary
for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is necessary to
sell any REO property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress
being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a
purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall
name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate servicing agreement between the Seller and the
Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage
Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of before the close of the
third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property,
unless the Seller provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the
taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition
of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the
transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that mortgage-backed securities related to
the Mortgage Loan are outstanding. Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such
REO Property for the holders of such securities solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any “net income from
foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through an agent
selected by Seller, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as
is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Seller shall perform
the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no
Mortgage Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold in such a
manner pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any
time as “foreclosure property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the
related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from
foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgage Property within the meaning of Section 860F(a)
(2) (b) of the Code, unless the Seller has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust
with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.”

          With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
or general assets and shall establish and maintain a separate REO Account for each REO Property in
the form of a non-interest bearing demand account, unless an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the
Seller to the effect that the classification as a grantor trust or REMIC for federal income tax
purposes of the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property is held will not be
adversely affected by holding such funds in another manner. Each REO Account shall be established
with the Seller or, with the prior consent of the Purchaser, with a commercial bank, a mutual
savings bank or a savings association. The creation of any REO Account shall be evidenced by a
letter agreement substantially in the form of the

-12-

 

Custodial Account Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit 7 hereto. An original of such letter
agreement shall be furnished to any Purchaser upon request.

          The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each REO Account all
revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds
necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Subsection 11.10 hereof and the fees of any
managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest
paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account. On or before each
Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw from each REO Account and deposit into the Custodial
Account the net income from the REO Property on deposit in the REO Account.

          The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date, an operating statement
for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such
operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall
reasonably request. Together with such statement, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser a
statement covering the Seller’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any
rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month.

          Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such price and upon such terms and
conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser only with the prior
written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the
Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the
Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO
Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Seller as provided
above, shall be deposited in the REO Account and shall be transferred to the Custodial Account on
the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding
Distribution Date in accordance with Subsection 11.14.

          Subsection 11.14 Distributions.

          On each Distribution Date, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser all amounts credited
to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of
charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05; plus (ii)
all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Subsection
11.21, minus (iii) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the last day of
the calendar month immediately preceding the related Distribution Date and (iv) any amounts
attributable to Monthly Prepayments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the
preceding Determination Date.

          All distributions made to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date will be made to the
Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned
and held by the Purchaser, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Purchaser at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities

-13-

 

therefor, if the Purchaser shall have so notified the Seller or by check mailed to the address
of the Purchaser.

          With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser on or after the second Business Day
following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser
interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly
announced from time to time at its principal office by JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, New York, as
its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three (3) percentage points,
but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the
period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day
on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such
late payment. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of
time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.

          Subsection 11.15 Remittance Reports.

          No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser
or its designee an electronic file containing, the monthly data specified on Exhibit 13 hereto in a
form acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller. On the Business Day following each Determination
Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee by telecopy (or by such other means
as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree from time to time) an electronic file containing, and a
hard copy of, the determination data with respect to the related Distribution Date, together with
such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser may reasonably require
to allocate distributions made pursuant to this Agreement and provide appropriate statements with
respect to such distributions. On the same date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser by
e-mail an electronic file in a form acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller containing the
information set forth in the Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.

          Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Purchaser.

          Not later than fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, the Seller shall forward to the
Purchaser or its designee a statement prepared by the Seller setting forth the status of the
Custodial Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period
covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial
Account of each category of deposit specified in Subsection 11.04 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Subsection 11.05.

          In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller
shall furnish to each Person who was the Purchaser at any time during such calendar year, (i) as to
the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year, an annual statement in
accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law, and (ii) listing of the
principal balances of the Mortgage Loans outstanding at the end of such calendar year.

-14-

 

          The Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other
filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to any Purchaser pursuant
to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby.
In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage
Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as any Purchaser
may reasonably request from time to time.

          Subsection 11.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

          Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.02, with respect to any REO
Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement covering the Seller’s efforts in
connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the
sale thereof for the previous month, together with the operating statement. Such statement shall
be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

          Subsection 11.18 Liquidation Reports.

          Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the
Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a
liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

          Subsection 11.19 Assumption Agreements.

          The Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance
by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale,
and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any
“due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any
such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or
threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any. If the Seller
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the
Seller shall enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.19, the Seller, with the
prior written consent of the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released
from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related
Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption
agreement.

          In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow
the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability,
Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity

-15-

 

date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any
such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which
document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and 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. Any fee collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall
be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Subsection or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any
assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
For purposes of this Subsection 11.19, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of
the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement.

          Subsection 11.20 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

          Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification
that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will
immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a servicing officer of the Seller (a
“Servicing Officer”), which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall
request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the
portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Purchaser, shall promptly release the related mortgage
documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No
expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Purchaser.

          In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in
full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the
Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to
the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit
thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the fidelity bond insuring the Seller
against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with
the procedures set forth herein.

          From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall,
upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the
Purchaser or the Custodian to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to
return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation

-16-

 

Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the
Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the
name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to
the Seller.

          Subsection 11.21 Monthly Advances by the Seller.

          (a) Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date,
the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously
advanced by the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Subsection 11.01, of principal (due
after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, at the
Mortgage Interest Rate net of the Servicing Fee, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent
at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

          (b) The obligation of the Seller to make such Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made
hereunder by the Seller if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly
Advance. The determination by the Seller that it has made a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or that
any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance, shall be
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.

          Subsection 11.22 Servicing Compensation.

          As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall, subject to Subsection 11.04(xi),
be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the
Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Seller’s Servicing Fee. Additional servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Subsection 11.19, Prepayment Charges
and late payment charges and similar ancillary servicing compensation shall be retained by the
Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

          Subsection 11.23 Notification of Adjustments.

          On each Adjustment Date, the Seller shall make interest rate adjustments for each Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note.
The Seller shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note
regarding interest rate adjustments. The Seller also shall provide timely

-17-

 

notification to the Purchaser of all applicable data and information regarding such interest
rate adjustments and the Seller’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest
Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the
Seller shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any
interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor.

          Subsection 11.24 Statement as to Compliance.

          (a) Unless the Seller provides the statement described in Subsection 13.05(i)(1), the Seller
will deliver to the Purchaser, not later than 75 days following the end of each calendar year, an
Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of
the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under
such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review,
the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be
provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans.

          (b) The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the
Purchaser (and if this Agreement has been assigned in whole or in part by the Purchaser, any and
all Persons previously acting as “Purchaser” hereunder), and their respective officers, directors,
agents and affiliates, and such affiliates’ officers, directors and agents (any such person, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach by the Seller or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under this Subsection 11.24, Subsection 11.25 or Subsection 11.26, or the negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the
Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Indemnified Party in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the
Seller in the other in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this Subsection
11.24, Subsection 11.25 or Subsection 11.26, or the Seller’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.

          Subsection 11.25 Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

          Unless the Seller provides the report described in Section 13.05(i)(2) of this Agreement, not
later than 75 days following the end of each calendar year, the Seller at its expense shall cause a
firm of independent public accountants (which may also render other services to the Seller) which
is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the
Purchaser or its designee to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under
pooling and servicing agreements (including the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement) substantially
similar one to another (such statement to

-18-

 

have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered
thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm confirms that such servicing has
been conducted in compliance with this Agreement or such pooling and servicing agreements, as
applicable, except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of
such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a
prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

          Subsection 11.26 Purchaser’s Right to Examine Seller’s Records.

          The Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Seller,
during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances
and on the Seller’s premises, to examine and audit any and all of the books, records or other
information of the Seller whether held by the Seller or by another on behalf of the Seller which
relate to the performance or observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement, and to discuss such books, records or other information with an officer or employee of
the Seller who is knowledgeable about the matters contained therein, upon Purchaser’s reasonable
request.

          Subsection 11.27 Reports and Returns to be Filed by the Seller.

          The Seller shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest
received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property
and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. 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.

          Subsection 11.28 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

          If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage
Loans and REO Property are held, the Seller shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions,
if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
“prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
“contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Seller has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such
tax.

          Subsection 11.29 Superior Liens.

          With respect to each second lien Mortgage, the Seller shall, for the protection of the
Purchaser’s interest, file (or cause to be filed) of record a request for notice of any action by a
superior lienholder where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not

-19-

 

require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in
order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption. The Seller shall also notify any
superior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Mortgage Loan and request notification of
any action (as described below) to be taken against the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property by the
superior lienholder.

          If the Seller is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to
accelerate the obligations secured by the superior lien, or has declared or intends to declare a
default under the superior mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends
to file an election to have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Seller shall take
whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and/or to preserve the
security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to any requirements applicable to REMICs pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code. The Seller shall make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary to
cure the default or reinstate the superior lien if the Seller determines that such Servicing
Advance is in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Seller shall not make such a Servicing
Advance except to the extent that it determines that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

          Subsection 11.30 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Seller and Subservicers.

          The Seller, as servicer, may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a
Subservicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that such sub-servicing arrangement and
the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage
Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each
Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law
to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Seller or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through the Seller or otherwise, the Seller shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser and
its successors and assigns for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue
of such Sub-Servicing 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 Seller alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by
the Seller shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such
agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of each Subservicer
performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the
Seller with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Seller.

          For purposes of this Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to have received any collections,
recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer
regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Seller.

-20-

 

          Subsection 11.31 Successor Subservicers.

          Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Seller shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter
into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Subsection 11.33.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately
terminated by any successor to the Seller without fee, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in the event that the Seller (or any successor to the Seller) shall, for any reason, no
longer be the servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including termination due to an Event of
Default).

          Subsection 11.32 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Purchaser.

          Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage
Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Seller alone
and the Purchaser shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in
Subsection 11.33.

          Subsection 11.33 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by
Successor Servicer.

          In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the
authority, power and rights of the Seller hereunder by a successor servicer pursuant to Section 16
of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the Seller’s rights and obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between the Seller and a Subservicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by such successor servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor
servicer; provided, however, that any successor servicer may terminate the Subservicer.

          The Seller shall, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, but at its own expense,
deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement 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 Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

     The Redwood Entities hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless FRB, the respective present
and former directors, officers, employees and agents of FRB and each person, if any, who controls
FRB within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and

statement of any material fact contained in the Term Sheet or the Prospectus Supplement other than

reasonably incurred by it or any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such
losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines,

8

 

forfeitures, legal fees or expenses or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees or
expenses, as and when incurred.

     For purposes of this Indemnification Agreement, the Redwood Entities, the Issuing Entity, each
Underwriter and FRB acknowledge and agree that the statements set forth in the Term Sheet, under
the headings “[Static Pool—FRB,” “Mortgage Loan Origination—FRB Home Loans’ Underwriting
Guidelines,” and “The Servicers—FRB Servicing” (including the tables in such section) in the
Prospectus Supplement, including any supplement or amendment thereto, and on FRB’s internet website
at [www.                    ] as to static pool information, [UPDATE AS NEEDED FOR EACH DEAL] constitute the
only information furnished to the Redwood Entities, the Issuing Entity and the Underwriters by or
on behalf of FRB for inclusion in the Offering Materials (the “FRB Information”) and FRB hereby
represents and warrants, as of the date of the Offering Materials, that the FRB Information is true
and correct in all material respects and includes all information that is required to be provided
with respect to FRB and its static pool information and its origination and servicing activities
under Items 1105, 1108, 1110, 1117 and 1119 of Subpart 229.1100—Asset Backed Securities (Regulation
AB), 17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100-229.1123, as such may be amended from time to time.

     For purposes of this Indemnification Agreement, the Redwood Entities, the Issuing Entity, each
Underwriter and FRB also acknowledge and agree that the statements set forth in the last paragraph
on the front cover page of the Prospectus Supplement and in the second and fourth paragraphs under
the heading “Method of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement, constitute the only information
furnished by the Underwriters for inclusion in the Offering Materials (the “Underwriters’
Information”)[UPDATE AS NEEDED FOR EACH DEAL] and each Underwriter hereby represents and warrants,
as of the date of the Offering Materials, that the Underwriters’ Information is true and correct in
all material respects.

     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that such
indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that
such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided, however, that the
failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that such
indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to
the extent that such indemnifying party may wish, to assume (at its own expense) the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (which counsel may be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the
indemnifying party shall have agreed in writing to the continuing participation of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party

9

 

and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the opinion of such counsel,
be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such
proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all
matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such
proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party;
provided, however, that the indemnifying party, without the consent of the indemnified party, shall
not agree to any settlement if the matter involves any possible criminal action or proceeding, or
contains a stipulation to, or admission or acknowledgment of any wrongdoing (in tort or otherwise)
on the part of the indemnified party.

     If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason
other than as specified therein, each indemnified party shall be entitled to contribution to
liabilities and expenses, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section
11(f) of the Act. In determining the amount of such contribution, there shall be considered the
parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which
the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any misstatement or omission, the
relative fault of the parties, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the
circumstances; provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Indemnification
Agreement, each Person, if any, that controls any Underwriter or the Redwood Entities within the
meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as does
each Underwriter, the Redwood Entities, and each Person, if any, that controls FRB within the
meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each director of FRB shall have the same rights
to contribution as FRB. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice
of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim
for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph, notify such
party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or
parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other
obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph.

     The agreements, indemnities and representations of the parties thereto contained herein or
made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any parties hereto
or any of the controlling persons referred to herein, and will survive the sale of the
Certificates.

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL
BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

10

 

     This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
successors and assignees and the controlling persons referred to herein, and no other person shall
have any right or obligation hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be considered
an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

covered by, or the date of such reports or information or the date of this certification;

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

     Section 4.01 Role of the Servicer.

     The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that the Servicer may deem
necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

     Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, at the respective Mortgagor’s request or as
required by applicable law, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if, in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination, such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is consistent with industry practice and not
materially adverse to Owner, including actions intended to maximize collections on such Mortgage
Loan; provided, however, that, except as permitted by the following paragraph, the Servicer shall
not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Interest Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, make future advances or
extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and
deliver on behalf of itself and Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Owner has provided and shall, as
necessary, promptly furnish the Servicer with such powers of attorney (a form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A) as are necessary and appropriate and with such other documents as are
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to the contrary:

8

 

     (i) In the case of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may waive any late payment charge, penalty,
interest or any assumption fees, or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing such Mortgage Loan;

     (ii) In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall notify the Owner in
writing by either fax, email or other mutually acceptable means and obtain the Owner’s written
consent prior to the Servicer modifying, amending or waiving any of the financial terms of, or
making any other modifications to the Mortgage Loan. If Owner notifies the Servicer of its refusal
to consent thereto, then the Servicer shall, at its option, repurchase the related Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase shall be at a price equal to (a) the Assumed Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus (b) accrued interest on such Assumed Principal Balance at the
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate has last been paid and distributed to Purchaser to the date of
repurchase. Further, if such Mortgage Loan is an Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, Servicer may
release a portion of or all of the Additional Collateral related thereto provided that the release
of such Additional Collateral is in accordance with the Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement; and

     (iii) The Servicer shall specifically notify the Owner and obtain the Owner’s consent to the
Servicer taking any of the following actions: (a) selling any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
REO Property, (b) forgiving principal or interest on, or permitting to be satisfied at a discount,
any Mortgage Loan; or (c) accepting substitute or additional collateral, or releasing any
collateral, for a Mortgage Loan.

     In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures
including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and
exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due
consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and Owner’s
reliance on the Servicer. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer may
permit any Governmental Authority to have access to and review and copy the files of the Servicer
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and Servicer is authorized to do whatever is necessary to
comply with all Applicable Laws and the requirements of such Governmental Authority, including
without limitation any required modifications of the Loan Documents.

     Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

     Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are
paid in full, the Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage
Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take special
care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, property
insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the
Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors
will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

9

 

     Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

     The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer
would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
the ownership of Mortgaged Properties which secure Mortgaged Loans which come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 4.01. In addition, if an Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan becomes a
defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall make all reasonable efforts available under the Loan
Documents to realize upon the Additional Collateral pertaining to such Mortgage Loan, and any
proceeds from the realization thereof (and not such Additional Collateral itself) shall be included
in the related Liquidation Proceeds and deposited in the Custodial Account, net of any related
Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage
Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by Owner, taking into
account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings and any proceedings with respect
to Additional Collateral. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which
Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of an aggregate of $2,000 during the life
of the Mortgage Loan, unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Owner after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in
Section 4.05.

     In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan becomes 90 days delinquent and, in
the judgment of the Servicer, the related Mortgagor is not likely to become current within a
reasonable period of time, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure or other proceedings to realize
upon the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan.

     Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

     The Servicer shall establish and maintain at all times appropriate custodial accounts for
principal and interest, and taxes and insurance with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall segregate and hold all funds constituting Escrow Payments collected and received pursuant to
a Mortgage Loan to be so deposited, separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets.

     The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account and retain therein the following payments
and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to
the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures the related loan documents
or applicable law;

     (v) All Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property that are not released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or
applicable law;

     (vi) Any Monthly Advances;

     (vii) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Section 5(c) or (d) of
the Purchase Agreement, and all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with
shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 5(c) of
the Purchase Agreement;

     (viii) Any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 for the
month of distribution;

     (ix) Any amounts in respect of Permitted Investments required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 4.18;

     (x) Any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property
pursuant to Section 4.11; and

     (xi) Any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 7.01.

     The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01, need
not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited
into the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the
Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). In addition, funds in the Custodial Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.18.

     Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

     The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the
following purposes:

11

 

     (i) To make payments to Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 6.01;

     (ii) To reimburse itself for each unreimbursed Monthly Advance from the related Monthly
Payments collected from the Mortgagors or, to the extent an unreimbursed Monthly Advance is
determined by the Servicer to be unrecoverable, from any funds in the Custodial Account;

     (iii) To reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for unreimbursed Servicing
Fees, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement
shall be limited, subject to Section 4.13, to the related funds collected by the Servicer from the
Mortgagor or any other Person including, but not limited to, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds, and with respect to REO Property, funds received as rental or
similar income. The Servicer’s right to the reimbursement set forth in the preceding sentence
shall be prior to the rights of Owner to such proceeds and amounts, except that where the Servicer
is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 5(c) or (d) of the Purchase
Agreement, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the rights of Owner to
receive payment from the Custodial Account representing the repurchase price set forth in Section
5(c) or (d) of the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and representing all other amounts required
to be paid to Owner with respect to such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

     (iv) To pay itself as servicing compensation any interest earned on funds in the Custodial
Account;

     (v) To pay itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to
Section 5(c) or (d) of the Purchase Agreement all related Monthly Payments and such other amounts

provided that such Monthly Payments or other amounts have not been distributed as of the date on

to be deposited therein; and

     (vii) To clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

     The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each
Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets. The Servicer will establish one or more Escrow Accounts for such purpose, each of
which shall be an Eligible Account.

     The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain
therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii)
all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged

12

 

Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are
required or contemplated under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as set forth or in
accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds
deposited into the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed
funds required by law to be paid to a Mortgagor.

     Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

     Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments
of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, property insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for
any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to an Escrow Payment, but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow
Payments thereunder, and only to the extent permitted by applicable law, (iii) to refund to the
Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law,
any interest paid on the funds deposited into the Escrow Account, (vii) to refund to the Servicer
any amount deposited in the Escrow Account and not required to be deposited therein or (viii) to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As part of its
servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account,
to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow
Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor.

     Section 4.08 Transfer of Accounts.

     The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
depository institution from time to time. The Servicer shall promptly notify Owner upon making any
such transfer. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

     Section 4.09 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

     Section 4.10 Errors and Omissions Insurance.

     The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to
the Mortgage Loans. The errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage
Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery,
theft, embezzlement and omissions and negligent acts of such Persons and shall also protect and
insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance
policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan
without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 4.10 requiring the errors and omissions insurance

13

 

shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal
to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Sellers’ and Servicers’ Guide
or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers’ and Servicer’s Guide. Upon request of any Owner, the
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to Owner a copy of the insurance policy and shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such insurance policy
shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Owner.

     Section 4.11 Title Management and Disposition of REO Property.

     The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same
manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own
account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is
managed. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition
of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter.
The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to dispose of the REO Property in a commercially
reasonable manner as soon as possible. If Owner has notified the Servicer in writing that an REO
Property is held as part of a REMIC, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts to sell such REO
Property within the time necessary to preserve such REMIC status as advised by Owner in the notice
thereof.

     If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure (each, an “REO Property”), the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name
of the Owner or the Person (which may be the Servicer for the benefit of the Owner) designated by
the Owner, or in the event the Owner notifies the Servicer that the Owner or such Person is not
authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is
located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so
holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons
as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Owner from an attorney duly
licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Servicer (acting
alone or through a subservicer), on behalf of the Owner, shall provide for the maintenance and
disposal of REO on behalf of the Owner as outlined under section 6 of the collection manual of
Servicer.

     The Servicer shall deposit and hold all revenues and funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of each REO Property in the Custodial Account, and the Servicer shall
account separately for revenues and funds received or expended with respect to each REO Property.

     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 servicing standards set forth in Section 4.01. In connection therewith,
the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all
revenues and collections received or collected by it with respect to each REO Property, including
all proceeds of any REO Disposition. The Servicer shall withdraw

14

 

(without duplication) from the Custodial Account, but solely from the revenues and collections
received or collected by it with respect to a specific REO Property, such funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property, including the following:

	 	(a)	 	all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
	 
	 	(b)	 	all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may
result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
	 
	 	(c)	 	all customary and reasonable costs and expenses necessary to maintain, repair,
appraise, evaluate, manage or operate such REO Property (including the customary and
reasonable costs incurred by any “managing agent” retained by the Servicer in
connection with the maintenance, management or operation of such REO Property);
	 
	 	(d)	 	all reasonable costs and expenses of restoration improvements, deferred
maintenance and tenant improvements; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	all other reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
that the Servicer may suffer or incur in connection with its performance of its
obligations under this Section (other than costs and expenses that the Servicer is
expressly obligated to bear pursuant to this Agreement).

     To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account are insufficient for the
purposes set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above, the Servicer shall, subject to Section 6.03,
advance the amount of funds required to cover the shortfall with respect thereto. The Servicer
shall promptly notify the Owner in writing of any failure by the Servicer to make a Servicing
Advance of the type specified in clauses (1) or (2) above (irrespective of whether such Servicing
Advance is claimed to be non-recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03).

     The Servicer shall notify Owner of its receipt of a bona fide offer for any REO Property.
Following the consummation of an REO Disposition, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner, in
accordance with Section 6.01, any proceeds from such REO Disposition in the Custodial Account
following the payment of all expenses and Servicing Advances relating to the subject REO Property.

     Section 4.12 Adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates.

     The Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments and payment amount adjustments for each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and will
deliver to the related Mortgagor written notice of such adjustments in accordance with the terms of
such Mortgage Note and the requirements of applicable law.

     Section 4.13 Subservicing Agreements Between the Servicer and Subservicers.

     (a) Subject to Section 13.06, the Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with
Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. The terms of any
Subservicing Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

15

 

Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which
the Mortgaged Properties related to the Mortgage Loans such Subservicer is to service are situated,
if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and (ii) a Freddie Mac- or Fannie
Mae-approved mortgage servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 4.17 and provide for servicing of
the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of Owner,
shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement,
including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as
required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements, 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 Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery
(i) exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) is from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed.

     Section 4.14 Successor Subservicers.

     The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and
obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Subservicer, the
Servicer either shall directly service the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 4.13.

     Section 4.15 Liability of the Servicer.

     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
Owner for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4.01 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 Mortgage Loans. 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.

     Section 4.16 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements.

     In the event that Morgan Stanley Credit Corporation, or its successors (collectively, “MSCC”)
shall for any reason cease to be the servicer of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, Owner or
its designee may, if MSCC does not terminate any Subservicing

16

 

Agreement in accordance with its terms, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of
MSCC under such Subservicing Agreement. Upon such assumption, Owner or its designee shall be
deemed to have assumed all of MSCC’s interest therein and to have replaced MSCC 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 MSCC shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations
under the Subservicing Agreements and MSCC shall continue to be entitled to any rights or benefits,
in each case, which arose prior to its termination as servicer.

     The Servicer at its expense shall, upon the request of Owner, deliver to the assuming party
all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use reasonable efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

     Section 4.17 Servicing Accounts.

     In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing
Agreement, the Subservicer shall be required to establish and maintain a Subservicing Account which
shall be an Eligible Account. The Subservicer shall be required to deposit into the Subservicing
Account not later than the first Business Day after receipt all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received
by the Subservicer, less its subservicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing
Agreement, and to remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account not
later than the tenth day of each month, or if such tenth day is not a Business Day, the immediately
succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments pursuant to
the Subservicing Agreement.

     Section 4.18 Permitted Investments.

     The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Permitted Investments, each of
which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date next
following the date of such investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of
the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later
than such Remittance Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such
Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its nominee, and held in
trust for Owner. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest
earned on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer, and shall be
withdrawn by the Servicer on the related Remittance Date. The Servicer shall deposit in the
Custodial Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein) an amount
equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment immediately upon
realization of such loss without right of reimbursement.

     Section 4.19 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

     With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting
the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are

17

 

or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all
bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums, and shall effect payment thereof
prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum
discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account
which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such
purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. If a Mortgage does not
provide for Escrow Payments, then the Servicer shall require that any such payments be made by the
Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the
timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of
the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments but shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     The Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be
maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 75% or less in
the case of a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% or until
such time, if any, as such insurance is required to be released in accordance with the provisions
of applicable law including, but not limited to, the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998. The
Servicer shall assure that all premiums due under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy are paid in
a timely manner, but, shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
for premiums paid by the Servicer on behalf of any Mortgagor who is obligated to pay such premiums
but fails to do so. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy in effect on the Funding Date that is required to be kept in force under this
Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed
policy is obtained from and maintained with an insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action
which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder.

     In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on
behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

     Section 4.20 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

     The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an
amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan and (b) the greater of (1) the Unpaid Principal

18

 

Balance of such Mortgage Loan or (2) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be
sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the loss payee from becoming a co insurer.

     If any Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, then the Servicer
will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier,
in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (a) the minimum amount required,
under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan if replacement cost coverage is not
available for the type of building insured) or (b) the maximum amount of insurance which is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (assuming that the area in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

     The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire, hazard and liability insurance,
and to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended, flood insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (b)
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO
Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances.

ARTICLE V

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF TRADING ACCOUNTS

     Section 5.01 The Servicer to Service Trading Accounts. 

     (a) The Servicer represents and warrants that it will service and administer the Trading
Accounts, in accordance with the terms of (i) the procedures it employs to administer Trading
Accounts for its own benefit (as the same may be amended from time to time) and (ii) the related
Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement.

     (b) The Servicer shall be released from its obligations to administer the Trading Accounts as
applicable upon termination of the related Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement.

     (c) The Servicer may, without consent of Owner, amend or modify a Additional Collateral Pledge
Agreement in any non-material respect to reflect administrative or account changes.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including without limitation
the termination of the Servicing rights and/or obligations of the Servicer under Article XI of this
Agreement), the Servicer shall service and administer each Trading Account, each Additional
Collateral Pledge Agreement and each Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and each Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement; it being understood and
agreed that only the Servicer shall service and administer the related

19

 

securities accounts, lines of credit, mortgages, and guarantors with respect to Additional
Collateral Pledge Agreement.

     (e) Notwithstanding Section 4.04, when the Collateral Base for any Additional Collateral
Mortgage Loan is less than the Loan Amount for such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall cause cash received upon exercise of foreclosure rights under the related Additional
Collateral Pledge Agreement, if it has not been previously applied to reduce the principal balance
of such Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

     (f) The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon any Additional Collateral
for such of the Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments; provided that
the Servicer shall not obtain title to any such Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of
the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Servicer shall not proceed
with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would impair the ability to recover
against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Servicer shall proceed with any acquisition of
REO Property in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional
Collateral against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such
Additional Collateral (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor
in accordance with procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own
account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the
terms and conditions of any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement
governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional Collateral) shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

     Section 5.02 Agreements with Respect to the Surety Bond. 

     (a) The Servicer represents and warrants to Owner that the Additional Collateral Mortgage
Loans are insured under the terms and provisions of the Surety Bond, subject to the limitations set
forth therein. Owner acknowledges receipt from the Surety Bond Issuer of a certificate confirming
the insurance of the Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and provisions of
the Surety Bond.

     (b) Owner and the Servicer agree that the Surety Bond Issuer is a third party beneficiary in
respect of the Servicer’s obligations under this Article V.

     (c) With respect to the sale or potential sale of the Additional Collateral Mortgage Loans,
Owner shall not use, circulate, quote or otherwise refer to the Surety Bond Issuer or the Surety
Bond for any purpose, including but not limited to, the registration, purchase and sale of
securities, nor file the Surety Bond with, or refer to it or to the Surety Bond Issuer, as part of
any registration statement or offering document, without the express prior written consent of the
Surety Bond Issuer as to both form and substance of such disclosure.

20

 

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENTS TO OWNER

     Section 6.01 Distributions.

     On each Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 6.03(c), the
Servicer shall distribute to Owner (i) all amounts due on the Due Date immediately preceding the
related Remittance Date (which shall include all scheduled interest and principal), net of charges
against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section
4.05, plus any principal prepayments received during the related Principal Prepayment Period, minus
(iii) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected as to such Mortgage Loans but due on a
Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the current Remittance Date.

     Subject to Section 6.03(c), all distributions made to Owner on each Remittance Date will be
made to Owner of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans
owned and held by Owner, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of Owner at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, or if Owner
shall have so notified the Servicer, by check mailed to the address of Owner as provided for in
Section 12.06.

     With respect to any remittance received by Owner on or after the second Business Day following
the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to Owner interest on any
such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from
time to time at its principal office by Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A., New York, New York, as its
“prime” lending rate (which is not necessarily its lowest rate) (or if Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.
shall cease to exist or to announce such rate, then such rate shall be a reasonably comparable rate
determined by Servicer in its reasonable discretion), adjusted as of the date of each change, plus
one (1) percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to Owner on the date such late payment is made
and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending
with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be
remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not
be deemed an extension of time for Payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

     Section 6.02 Statements to Owner.

     Not later than the tenth (10th) day of each month, the Servicer will furnish to Owner a
monthly remittance report in a format substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, which monthly
remittance report will be generated as of the expiration of the preceding month.

     The Servicer shall provide Owner with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is
necessary for Owner to prepare its federal income tax return as Owner may reasonably request from
time to time.

     Section 6.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

21

 

     (a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan and subject to Section 6.03(c), on each Remittance Date
the Servicer shall, pursuant to Section 6.01, remit to Owner the total of all scheduled Monthly
Payments due on the preceding Due Date whether or not such Monthly Payments were collected from the
Mortgagor. Any amounts which are due but uncollected shall, subject to subsection (c) below, be
funded only by using excess cash collections, if any, on deposit in the Custodial Account.

     (b) If the collections on deposit in the Custodial Account on the Remittance Date are less
than the amount of the required monthly remittance, the Servicer shall, subject to subsection (c)
below, make a Monthly Advance by depositing to the Custodial Account enough of its own funds to
make the total on deposit equal the full amount of the remittance due Owner. The Servicer may
reimburse itself for its advances from collections from Mortgagors that are subsequently deposited
into the Custodial Account to the extent provided in Section 4.05.

     (c) If the Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that any uncollected payment due
from a Mortgagor that is due to be paid to Owner pursuant to Section 6.01 would not be recoverable
from Liquidation Proceeds or other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds) on the related Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer will ensure that the amount
considered to be non-recoverable will not be funded from excess collections or advanced by the
Servicer, and will therefore not be remitted to Owner until the earlier to occur of (a) the
purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the Servicer, if applicable, or (b) the acquisition or disposition
of title to the related Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or otherwise, and then in each case
shall only be paid to the extent of such repurchase price or recovery.

     (d) The Servicer’s obligations to make Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 6.03(a) and (b) will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in
full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date for the remittance of all Liquidation
Proceeds or other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds)
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property, subject to Section 6.03(c).
With respect to any Mortgage Loans determined to be unrecoverable and whose Monthly Payments are
omitted from the scheduled monthly remittance, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate
to Owner setting forth the basis of such determination.

     Section 6.04 Compensating Interest.

     Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall from its own funds deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, that exist in respect of the
related Principal Prepayment Period and (ii) the aggregate of the Servicing Fees for the most
recently ended calendar month.

     If for any reason the Servicer fails to process any principal prepayment on a timely basis in
accordance with Section 4.04(i), the Servicer shall from its own funds deposit in the Custodial
Account, interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate on the principal prepayment for the period the
deposit into the Custodial Account was delayed.

22

 

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE

     Section 7.01 Assumption Agreements.

     If the Servicer acquires actual knowledge that a Mortgagor has transferred or proposes to
transfer the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall enforce any related “due-on-sale”
clause consistent with its practices for mortgage loans it services for its own account. If the
Servicer elects not to enforce such due-on-sale clause, the Servicer may enter into an assumption
agreement with the party to whom such Mortgaged Property is to be or has been conveyed. If any
assumption fee is collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, the Servicer
shall be entitled to retain a portion of such fee up to an amount equal to 1% of the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan as additional servicing compensation, and shall
deposit into the Custodial Account any portion thereof that exceeds 1% of such outstanding
principal balance.

     Section 7.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

     Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan and deposit of such payment by Servicer into the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04, the Servicer shall execute any document necessary to
satisfy the Mortgage Loan and request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by
Owner or the Custodian. Upon receipt of such request, the related mortgage documents shall be
released to the Servicer within seventy-two (72) hours and the Servicer shall prepare and process
any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or Owner.

     To the extent that Owner acts as its own custodian, from time to time and as appropriate for
the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Owner shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to Owner
of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage
File held by Owner to the Servicer. Owner shall promptly deliver the request to return the related
Mortgage documents to the Custodian. The Servicer shall return the Mortgage documents to Owner when
the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited into the Custodial
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public
trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage
Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by Owner to the Servicer.

     Section 7.03 Servicing Compensation.

     In addition to any other fees to which Servicer is entitled hereunder, as compensation for its
services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee payable with respect to

23

 

each Mortgage Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee shall (i) be payable monthly
from payment of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to the deposit of such payments into the
Custodial Account, (ii) accrue at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate, and (iii) be computed on the
basis of the same principal amount and for the same period respecting which such interest payment
was computed. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees in
respect of any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by Section 4.05. The Servicer’s right to the
Servicing Fee shall not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer
of all the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement. Servicing compensation in addition to the
Servicing Fee, in the form of assumption fees as provided in Section 7.01, interest paid on funds
deposited in the Escrow Account to the extent permitted by Section 4.06, default interest in excess
of the Mortgage Interest Rate and late payment charges and other ancillary fees, in each case to
the extent collected, shall be retained by the Servicer and shall not be required to be deposited
into the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided for herein.

     Section 7.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance and Attestation. 

     (a) Unless an Annual Statement as to Compliance is delivered as provided in Section 13.04, the
Servicer will deliver to Owner on or before April 1 of each year, beginning with April 1 of the
calendar year after the year in which the first Closing Date occurs, an Officer’s Certificate
stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and
of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to
such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its material
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year in all material respects, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof.

     (b) Unless a Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation is delivered as provided in
Section 13.05, on or before April 1 of each year, beginning with April 1 of the calendar year after
the year in which the first Closing Date occurs, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of
independent certified public accountants (which may also render other services to the Servicer) to
furnish a report to Owner to the effect that certain mortgage loans serviced by the Servicer were
included in the total population of Mortgage Loans subject to selection for testing in such firm’s
examination of certain documents and records, that such examination was conducted substantially in
compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers and that such
examination disclosed no items of material noncompliance with the provisions of the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, except for such items of noncompliance as shall be set
forth in such report.

     Section 7.05 Owner’s Right to Examine the Servicer Records.

     Owner shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable prior written notice, during
business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any
and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by
another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which may be relevant

24

 

to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.

     The Servicer shall provide to Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners which may relate
to Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans which may be required by all
applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request,
during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer.

     Neither Owner nor the Servicer shall, nor will they permit any of their respective affiliates,
employees, agents or representatives to, divulge or disclose, directly or indirectly, any
information concerning the Mortgage Loans in violation of any law. Neither party shall, nor shall
they permit any of their respective affiliates, employees, agents or representatives to, divulge or
disclose, directly or indirectly, any information concerning the business practices of the other
party to this Agreement. This paragraph does not apply to information which is not confidential or
which has been published or otherwise made available to the general public prior to the date of

administrative or judicial body or agency or the furnishing by either party of information to their
respective affiliates, auditors, or attorneys.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

     Section 8.01 The Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

     During the term of this Agreement the Servicer shall furnish any reports, or documentation
that Owner may reasonably request. Reports requested may include reports not specified or otherwise
required by this Agreement, for example, reports with respect to REO Properties, or reports
required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of Owner.
All reports will be delivered in accordance with Owner’s reasonable instructions and directions.
If the reports or other information requested will require the Servicer to incur additional costs
or expenses outside of its normal servicing procedures, Owner agrees to reimburse the Servicer for
those costs and expenses. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take
all such action as Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

THE SERVICER

     Section 9.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

     (a) Each party hereto agrees to indemnify the other party and hold it harmless against any and
all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other costs, fees and expenses that the other party may sustain in any way related to the breach of
such party in performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

25

 

     (b) The Servicer shall (i) promptly notify Owner if a material claim is made by any party with
respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, (ii) assume the defense of any such claim and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and (iii) promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or Owner in respect of such
claim. The Servicer shall follow any written instructions received from Owner in connection with
such claim. Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for all amounts paid or advanced by it
pursuant to the preceding sentence, except as to amounts as to which the Servicer is required to
indemnify Owner pursuant to Section 3.01.

     Section 9.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

     The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation,
and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     Section 9.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

     Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be
under any liability to Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations substantially in accordance with
any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any
officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
appearing to be properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of Owner, undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which Owner will be liable. The Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from Owner upon written demand.

     Section 9.04 The Servicer Not to Resign.

imposed on it except (i) by mutual consent of the Servicer and Owner, (ii) upon the determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such

26

 

incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer (any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to Owner),
(iii) following any breach of this Agreement by Owner, or (iv) in connection with a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until
a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the
manner provided in Section 12.01.

     Section 10.01 Events of Default.

     If one or more of the following “Events of Default” by the Servicer shall occur and be
continuing.

	 	(i)	 	any failure by the Servicer to remit to Owner any payment required to be made
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period (3) Business
Days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by Owner; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material

entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to
all or substantially all of its property; or

Mortgage Loans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and continues to be ineligible to sell

27

 

	 	 	 	Mortgage Loans to and service Mortgage Loans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for a
period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such
ineligibility shall have been given to the Servicer by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer, in addition to whatever rights Owner may have at law
or in equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, may terminate all
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof other than, with respect to any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the
obligation to administer the related Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement. On or after the
receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, (i) all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01, except with respect to any related
Additional Collateral Pledge Agreement, and (ii) upon further written request from Owner, the
Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, deliver
to the successor all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the
Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with Owner and such successor in
effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as provided
above, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

     Section 10.02 Waiver of Defaults.

     Owner may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder
and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist,
and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE XI

     Section 11.01 Termination.

     The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon the

funds due hereunder, (ii) the date agreed upon by mutual consent of the Servicer and Owner in
writing, (iii) the repurchase by the Servicer of all of the Mortgage Loans subject to this
Agreement, pursuant to Section 11.02, or (iv) a resignation permitted by Section 9.04 hereof.

     Section 11.02 Repurchase.

28

 

     At the sole option of the Servicer and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner, if
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Mortgage Loans subject to this Agreement which

aggregate Purchase Price paid for such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer may repurchase all such
outstanding Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that if such Mortgage Loans are included in a REMIC,
the Servicer agrees not to exercise its right to repurchase unless and until such right can be
exercised in conjunction with a “qualified liquidation” (as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the
Code) of such REMIC, as advised by Owner. Such repurchase by the Servicer of such Mortgage Loans
and all related REO Property shall be at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal balance
of each Mortgage Loan on the day of repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate to the first day of the calendar month following repurchase, plus the
appraised value of any such REO Property determined at the expense of the Servicer by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Owner.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 12.01 Successor to the Servicer.

     Prior to termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 12.04, Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the
Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a
successor who is a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac approved servicer having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement.

     In connection with such appointment and assumption, Owner may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this
Agreement should be terminated pursuant to one of the aforementioned Sections, 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, and shall take no action whatsoever that
might materially impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The
resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event
relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties previously made pursuant to Section 3.01
hereof or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement and the remedies available to Owner with respect
thereto hereunder and thereunder.

     Any successor appointed as provided in this Section 12.01 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Servicer and to Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such
successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to
this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement

29

 

pursuant to Section 9.04, 10.01, 11.01, or 12.04 shall not affect any claims that Owner may
have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

     The Servicer shall in a timely and reasonable manner deliver to the successor the funds in the
Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to
more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate
to reimburse the Servicer for amounts the Servicer actually expended pursuant to this Agreement
which the Servicer is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been reimbursable
to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

     Section 12.02 Amendment.

     This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and Owner only by written
agreement signed by the Servicer and Owner. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

     Section 12.03 Assignments.

     Except as required under the Purchase Agreement or by applicable law, the Assignments shall
not be recorded by Seller. The Owner may, at its option and expense (including all recordation
fees), prepare and record any Assignment of Mortgage.

     Section 12.04
Assignment of Servicing Rights.

     The Servicer may assign the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans upon the
written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, the Servicer may, without the consent of Owner enter into one or more Subservicing
Agreements relating to the Mortgage Loans; further provided, however that notwithstanding any
subservicing arrangement, the Servicer shall remain liable to Owner for all obligations and
responsibilities set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

     Section 13.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

     The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XIII of this
Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of
Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is
applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, the Servicer acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may
require that the Owner or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings.
References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable
disclosure in private offerings.

     Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes
other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that
required under the Securities Act). The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided
by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities
markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or
any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the
Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its
assignees or designees), any Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the
Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Owner, such Master Servicer or such
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating
to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans,
reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such
compliance.

     The Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by
providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably
limiting such requests to information required, in the Owner’s reasonable judgment, to comply with
Regulation AB.

     Section 13.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.

33

 

     (a) The Servicer hereby represents to the Owner, to any Master Servicer and to any Depositor,
as of the date on which information is first provided to the Owner, any Master Servicer or any
Depositor under Section 13.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Owner or such Depositor
prior to such date: (i) the Servicer is not aware and has not received notice that any default,
early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other
securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Servicer; (ii) the Servicer has not been
terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing
default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material
noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of
residential mortgage loans involving the Servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Servicer;
(iv) no material changes to the Servicer’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing
function it will perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans
of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year period immediately
preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Servicer’s
financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Servicer of
its servicing obligations under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no
material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the
Servicer or any Subservicer; and (vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions
relating to the Servicer or any Subservicer with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any
party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation
AB.

     (b) If so requested by the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor on any date following
the date on which information is first provided to the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor
under Section 13.03, the Servicer shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm

          On or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall:

	 	(i)	 	deliver to the Owner, any Master Servicer and

Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during
the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18
and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such
report shall be addressed to the Owner, such Master Servicer and such

any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation
as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	if requested by the Owner, any Master Servicer
or any Depositor, deliver, and cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor
as described in clause (iii) to provide, to the Owner, such Master
Servicer and such Depositor and any other Person that will be

38

 

     The Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (a)(iv) above may rely on the
certification provided by the Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification
and filing such with the Commission. Neither the Owner nor any Master Servicer nor any Depositor
will request delivery of a certification under clause (a)(iv) above unless a Depositor is required

the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such
appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section
13.05(a)(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.06.

     Section 13.06 Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

     The Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill
any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution
Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section. The
Servicer shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not
permit any Subservicer to hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill
any of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution
Agreement unless the Servicer complies with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section.

     (a) It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner, any Master
Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. The Servicer shall cause any
Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Owner and any
Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section and with Sections 13.02, 13.03(a) and (c),
13.04, 13.05 and 13.07 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the
Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section
13.03(d) of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer
and delivering to the Owner and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be
delivered by such Subservicer under Section 13.04, any assessment of compliance and attestation
required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 13.05 and any certification required to
be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under
Section 13.05 as and when required to be delivered.

     (b) It shall not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Owner, any Master
Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly
upon request provide to the Owner and any Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as a
master servicer or administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the
Owner and such Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer
or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of
such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122
of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the

39

 

Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

     As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any
such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Owner and
any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 13.05 and 13.07 of this Agreement to the
same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Owner and any Depositor any assessment of
compliance and attestation or other certifications required to be delivered by such Subcontractor
under Section 13.05, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

     Section 13.07 Indemnification; Remedies.

     (a) The Servicer shall indemnify the Owner, each affiliate of the Owner, and each of the
following parties participating in a Securitization Transaction: each Person (including, but not
limited to, any Master Servicer if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing
of any report required to be filed with Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction,
or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14d or Rule 15d-14d under the Exchange Act
with respect to such Securitization Transaction, each sponsor and issuing entity; each broker
dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of
such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees,
agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”),
and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

	 	(i)	 	(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be
contained in any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other
material provided under this Article 13 by or on behalf of the Servicer, or provided
under this Article 13 by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Subcontractor
(collectively, the “Servicer Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to
state in the Servicer Information a material fact required to be stated in the Servicer
Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of
clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference
to the Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection
with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer
Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such
other information;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Article XIII,
including any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver
any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and
as

40

 

	 	 	 	required under this Article 13, including any failure by the Servicer to identify
pursuant to Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 13.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(b) and made as of
a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the
extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the
Servicer of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section
13.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection
with its performance under this Article XIII.

     If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities
incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

     In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the
Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the
Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification
pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain
the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

     This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any
party to this Agreement.

     (b) (i) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required
under this Article 13, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 13.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(b) and made as of a date prior
to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is
not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty in a
writing furnished pursuant to Section 13.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such
closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and
automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the
Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the
Owner or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations
of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution
Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer; provided that to the extent that
any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable

41

 

Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations
following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

     (ii) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section 13.04
or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to
Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on
which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered
shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any
applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Owner or Depositor, as applicable, in
its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the Servicer is
servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization
Transaction); provided that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the
Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

     Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations
of the Servicer pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure of the Servicer to identify a
Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect
to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.

     (iii) The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a
master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the
Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the
termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a
successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or
any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages,
specific performance or injunctive relief.

     Section 13.08 Third Party Beneficiary.

     For purposes of this Article XIII and any related provisions thereto, each Master Servicer
shall be considered a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to all the rights and
benefits hereof as if it were a party to this Agreement.

     “ ‘Custodial Account’: The separate trust account or accounts created and maintained
pursuant to Section 4.04 of this Agreement which shall be entitled “Morgan Stanley
Credit Corporation, in trust for ‘HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee, under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007,’ or such other title as is
requested by the Owner.”

     2. The definition of Escrow Account is revised to read as follows:

“ ‘Escrow Account’: The separate trust account or accounts created and maintained
pursuant to Section 4.06 on which shall be entitled “Morgan Stanley Credit
Corporation, as Servicer, in trust for ‘HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as
Trustee, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007,’ or such
other title as is requested by Owner.”

     3. Section 4.18, second sentence is revised to read as follows:

“All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its
nominee, and held in trust for HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee, under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated May 1, 2007.”

     4. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer agrees
that it will report to the Master Servicer on a monthly basis on the date specified
therein using the formats attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

     5. The third full paragraph of Section 6.01 is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following (second deleted in two places before Business Day):

     “With respect to any remittance received by Owner on or after the Business Day
following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to Owner
interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is
publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A.,
New York, New York, as its “prime” lending rate (which is not necessarily its lowest rate)
(or if Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. shall cease to exist or to announce such rate, then such
rate shall be a reasonably comparable rate determined by Servicer in its reasonable
discretion), adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one (1) percentage point, but in
no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
be paid by the Servicer to Owner on the date such late payment is

 

 

made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest
shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Servicer of any such
interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for Payment or a waiver of any Event of
Default by the Servicer.”

     6. Section 10.01 is revised to add an “or” after 10.01(vi) and then to add the following:

     “failure on the part of the Servicer to comply with Article XIII after the cure periods
provided in Section 13.07.”

     7. Section 13.03 is revised to add the following after 13.03(d)(ii):

     “(iii) information regarding any Mortgage Loan changes (such as additions,
substitutions, or repurchases), and any material changes in origination, underwriting or
other criteria for acquisitions or selection of the Mortgage Loans (Item 1121(a)(14) of
Regulation AB).”

     8. Section 13.05 is revised to delete the first line of 13.05(iv), so that 13.05(iv) reads:

     “deliver, and cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor as described in clause (iii) to
provide, to the Owner, such Master Servicer and such Depositor and any other Person that
will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by
Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a
Securitization Transaction a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.”

     9. The first paragraph under Section 13.07(b)(ii) is revised to read as follows (addition is
in italics):

     “(ii) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section
13.04 or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to identify
pursuant to Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten
calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement,
and shall entitle the Owner, the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole
discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the
Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a
successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization
Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any
applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or
obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given
effect.”

Credit Corporation (formerly Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Credit Corporation), as the servicer (the
“Servicer”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC Bank”) as Trustee under a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the
Assignor, as Depositor, HSBC Bank (in such Trustee capacity, the “Assignee”) and Wells Fargo Bank,
N. A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, RWT Holdings, Inc. (“RWT”) and the Servicer have entered into a certain Master
Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2002 (as amended or modified to the date hereof, the
“2002 Master Servicing Agreement”), and the Servicer is currently servicing certain mortgage loans
(the “Mortgage Loans”) under the 2002 Master Servicing Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, RWT has previously sold, assigned and transferred all of its right, title and
interest in certain of the Mortgage Loans (the “Specified Mortgage Loans”) which are listed on the
mortgage loan schedule attached as Exhibit I hereto (the “Specified Mortgage Loan
Schedule”) and its rights under the 2002 Master Servicing Agreement with respect to the Specified
Mortgage Loans to Assignor; and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2002
Master Servicing Agreement, the Specified Mortgage Loans are currently being serviced by the
Servicer pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2006, between Assignor
and Servicer (the “Master Servicing Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, the Assignor has agreed to sell, assign and transfer to Assignee all of its right,
title and interest in the Specified Mortgage Loans and its rights under the Master Servicing
Agreement with respect to the Specified Mortgage Loans; and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed that the Specified Mortgage Loans shall be subject to

EXHIBIT I

 

 

APPENDIX A

MASTER SERVICING AGREEMENT

1. The definition of Custodial Account is revised to read as follows:

     “ ‘Custodial Account’: The separate trust account or accounts created and maintained
pursuant to Section 4.04 of this Agreement which shall be entitled “Morgan Stanley
Credit Corporation, in trust for ‘HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee, under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007,’ or such other title as is
requested by the Owner.”

2. The definition of Escrow Account is revised to read as follows:

“ ‘Escrow Account’: The separate trust account or accounts created and maintained
pursuant to Section 4.06 on which shall be entitled “Morgan Stanley Credit
Corporation, as Servicer, in trust for ‘HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as
Trustee, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2007,’ or such
other title as is requested by Owner.”

3. Section 4.18, second sentence is revised to read as follows:

“All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its
nominee, and held in trust for HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee, under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated May 1, 2007.”

4. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer agrees
that it will report to the Master Servicer on a monthly basis on the date specified
therein using the formats attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

5. The third full paragraph of Section 6.01 is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following (second deleted in two places before Business Day):

     “With respect to any remittance received by Owner on or after the Business Day
following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to Owner
interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is
publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Chase Manhattan Bank, N. A.,
New York, New York, as its “prime” lending rate (which is not necessarily its lowest rate)
(or if Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. shall cease to exist or to announce such rate, then such
rate shall be a reasonably comparable rate determined by Servicer in its reasonable
discretion), adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one (1) percentage point, but in
no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
be paid by the Servicer to Owner on the date such late payment is

 

 

made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest
shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Servicer of any such
interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for Payment or a waiver of any Event of
Default by the Servicer.”

     6. Section 10.01 is revised to add an “or” after 10.01(vi) and then to add the following:

     “failure on the part of the Servicer to comply with Article XIII after the cure periods
provided in Section 13.07.”

     8. Section 13.03 is revised to add the following after 13.03(d)(ii):

     “(iii) information regarding any Mortgage Loan changes (such as additions,
substitutions, or repurchases), and any material changes in origination, underwriting or
other criteria for acquisitions or selection of the Mortgage Loans (Item 1121(a)(14) of
Regulation AB).”

     8. Section 13.05 is revised to delete the first line of 13.05(iv), so that 13.05(iv) reads:

     “deliver, and cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor as described in clause (iii) to
provide, to the Owner, such Master Servicer and such Depositor and any other Person that
will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by
Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a
Securitization Transaction a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.”

     9. The first paragraph under Section 13.07(b)(ii) is revised to read as follows (addition is
in italics):

     “(ii) Any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Section
13.04 or 13.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Servicer to identify
pursuant to Section 13.06(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten
calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or
accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the Servicer under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement,
and shall entitle the Owner, the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole
discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and if the
Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a
successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization
Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any
applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or
obligations following termination of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given
effect.”
