 2.1 General.

  
 (a) Appointment.  Owner hereby appoints Servicer, and Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to service and administer the Assets for Owner in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
  
 (b) Authority.  The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through agents (but subject to Section 10.3), to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Appendices, subject to the Servicing Standard, and any and all things that may
otherwise be authorized by Owner.
  
 (c) Servicing Standard.  The Servicer shall service and administer the Assets on behalf of, and in the best interests of and for the benefit of, the Owner (as determined by the
Servicer in its good faith and reasonable business judgment) in accordance with (i) Applicable Requirements, (ii) the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the applicable Appendices, (iv) the applicable Asset Documents, and (v) to the extent
consistent with the foregoing requirements, in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Servicer services and administers similar assets for third parties; provided, however, that such skill,
prudence and diligence shall be at least as favorable as the degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence generally applied by prudent institutional lenders (or owners of the underlying assets, as applicable) servicing their own assets and
exercising reasonable business judgment without regard to:
  
 (i) any relationship
that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer may have with the related Borrower;
  
 (ii) the Servicer’s obligation to make Servicing Advances; or
  
 (iii) the Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
  
 The standard set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the “Servicing Standard.”  Owner acknowledges that the Assets
include and involved a variety of types of Loans, Collateral, Acquired Collateral, payment status, payment methods and interest calculations, and the applicable Servicing Standard will vary in respect of such differences among the
Assets.
  
 (d) Loss Share Agreement.  The Servicer shall provide Owner with the information and services set forth in the related Appendices in order to facilitate Owner’s compliance with
its obligations under the Loss Share Agreement(s) specified in such Appendices.

provided in the related Appendices.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and an applicable Appendix, the applicable Appendix shall govern.
  
 2.2 Collection of
Asset Payments.
  
 The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Asset Documents (other than any
prepayment premiums, penalties or charges that the Servicer has waived in accordance with the Servicing Standard), and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures for all Assets
that are consistent with the Servicing Standard.  The Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, waive, modify or vary any non-material term of any Asset Documents or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any
such term or in any manner grant a non-material indulgence to any Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Asset is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Asset Documents (including, with respect to a Loan, material modifications that would change the Loan Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal
or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Loan), accept payment from the related Borrower of an amount less than the principal balance in final satisfaction of such Asset or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any term
or otherwise grant any indulgence to any Borrower.
  
 2.3 General Servicing Procedures.
  
 Until the principal and interest of each
Loan and satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations with respect to each Asset is paid in full, unless this Agreement is sooner terminated with respect to such Asset pursuant to the terms hereof, and subject to all Applicable Requirements and
the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall:
  
 (a) With respect to
Loans requiring advances of principal to Borrowers or other Persons, disburse Loan proceeds in accordance with the requirements of the Asset Documents, and as may be provided in the applicable Appendix, provided that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to advance its own funds for such purposes.  In the event Servicer funds any such advances with its own funds, such amounts shall, in addition, be deemed to be Servicing
Advances, recoverable as provided in this Agreement.
  
 (b) Collect applicable
payments of principal, interest and, to the extent required under the Asset Documents, applicable deposits for taxes, assessments and other public charges that are generally impounded, reserve funds, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage
insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums and other insurance premiums, as required and as they become due.
  
 (c) Accept Asset Payments in accordance with the Asset Documents.  Deficiencies or excesses in payments or deposits shall be accepted and applied, or accepted and
unapplied.
  
 (d) Apply all Asset
Payments and impound deposits collected from the Borrower, and maintain permanent account records capable of producing, in chronological order: the date, amount, distribution, installment due date or other transactions affecting the amounts due from
or to the Borrower and indicating the latest outstanding balances of principal, impound deposits, advances, and unapplied payments.
  
 (e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Appendix, establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Custodial Account”), entitled “Bayview
Loan Servicing, LLC, as servicer for First Midwest Bank, as Owner.”  Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account.  The Servicer will be required to deposit into each Custodial Account no later than the second
Business Day after receipt all proceeds (except Ancillary Income and amounts to be deposited into Escrow Accounts or Acquired Collateral Accounts pursuant to this Agreement) of the related Asset received by the Servicer and to remit such proceeds to
the Owner not later than the Servicer Remittance Date.  Funds in each Custodial Account may be invested only in Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(h) hereof.  The Servicer shall, from
time to time, make withdrawals from each Custodial Account for any of the following purposes: (i) to remit to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner set forth in Section 2.5(a) and (b); (ii) to fund disbursements of principal to the Borrowers or
other Persons with respect to Residential Construction Loans, Commercial Construction Loans, Revolving Unsecured Loans, HELOCs, Reverse Mortgage Loans, and other Assets providing for disbursements of principal; (iii) to pay the Servicer any unpaid
Servicing Fees and to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances from the general funds in the Custodial Account; (iv) to reimburse the Servicer for any expenses incurred by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement
from the general funds in the Custodial Account; (v) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fees) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial

Servicer is not obligated to deposit Ancillary Income into the Custodial Account, although it may do so for ease of operations, and to the extent the Servicer does deposit such amounts into the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be permitted to
withdraw such amounts at any time in its sole discretion.  In addition, the Servicer may withdraw amounts from a Custodial Account to make distributions in accordance with the terms of a cash management agreement or similar agreement in
respect of any Asset serviced hereunder.
  
 (f) Unless otherwise
provided in the applicable Appendix, establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Escrow Accounts”, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, “Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, as servicer for First Midwest Bank, as
Owner, and various Borrowers”) into which (x) all collections from the Borrowers for the payment of taxes, assessments and other public charges that are generally impounded, reserve funds, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance
premiums, flood insurance premiums and other insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Borrowers (“Escrow Payments”) and (y) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard or other Insurance Policies which are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Collateral shall be deposited and retained.  The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Accounts, no later than the second Business Day
after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Assets, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.  Withdrawals of amounts from an
Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for each Asset; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to
Section 2.3(j) (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 2.3(k) (with respect to hazard insurance) with respect to each Asset; (iii) refund to the Borrowers any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and
as described below, to the Borrowers on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts in error; or (vi) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the related Assets under this Agreement; (vii) for application to restoration or repair of the Collateral; and (viii) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Assets
in accordance with the terms of the related Note and other Asset Documents.  As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Borrowers interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent
that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.  As applicable, the Servicer will determine the amount of deposits to be made by
the Borrowers and will furnish to each Borrower, at least once a year, an analysis of the escrow/impound account, to the extent required by Applicable Requirements.
  
 (g) Be responsible for monitoring and reconciling the Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts in accordance with
Applicable Requirements.  The Servicer shall attempt to promptly resolve any discrepancies and shall be responsible for all expenses and consequences for failure to reconcile and resolve such discrepancies.
  
 (h) Direct, in its discretion, any depository institution maintaining the Custodial Accounts to invest the
funds in one or more Eligible Investments.  All such Eligible Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.  Any investment of funds in a Custodial Account shall be made in the name of the Servicer as nominee
of the Owner.  The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account, from its own funds, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of any loss.

  
 (i) Maintain accurate
records reflecting the status of taxes, ground rents and other recurring charges generally accepted by the servicing industry for the related Asset, which would become a lien on any Collateral.  For all Assets providing for the payment to
and collection by the Servicer of impound deposits for taxes, ground rents or such other recurring charges, the Servicer shall remit payments for such charges before the later of (i) any penalty date and (ii) 30 days after the applicable Transfer
Date.
  
 (j) In accordance with
the standards of the preceding Section 2.3(i), advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments with respect to any Collateral, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable
in the first instance from related collections from the Borrowers.  Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Assets (including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and
assessments or other charges) on any Collateral shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent described herein.
  
 (k) Use its reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to maintain for each Asset (other than any Acquired Collateral), to the extent
applicable, and if the Borrower does not so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent the Owner as holder has an insurable interest, insurance with coverage on the related Collateral in a commercially reasonable amount, to the extent provided in
the applicable Appendix.  The Servicer shall maintain such insurance from an insurer with coverage on Collateral in a commercially reasonable amount.  The Servicer shall require that all Insurance Policies required hereunder
shall name the Servicer and its successors and assigns as the holder, as loss payee.
  
 (l) Deposit into the related Custodial Account any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration and repair of
the related Collateral or amounts to be released to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the related Asset Documents, or amounts typically deposited into Escrow Accounts).  It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Borrower or to be maintained by the Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Asset Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance.  If any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will use its reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause the related
Borrower to maintain or will itself obtain flood insurance in respect thereof.  If any Acquired Collateral is comprised of improved real property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will obtain
flood insurance in respect thereof.  Costs of the Servicer of maintaining insurance policies shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Servicer.  The Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims under each related insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery
thereunder.
  
 (m) Except as may
otherwise be provided in the applicable Appendix, unless the Servicer is required to exercise its rights under a “due on sale clause” pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 2.3(m), approve the sale, assignment or other transfer
of any Collateral, if the current Borrower makes a request therefor, provided that the Servicer shall have received sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of the proposed transfer, no
event of default under the related Asset Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, and the following additional criteria are satisfied.
  
 (i) the current Borrower shall pay any and all fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transfer of the Collateral (including without limitation counsel fees and
disbursements and all recording fees, insurance premiums intangible and other taxes, and with respect to Mortgaged Property, any applicable title insurance premiums and mortgage and transfer taxes);
  
 (ii) if applicable, the
proposed transferee or its principals shall have demonstrated expertise in owning and operating properties similar in location, size and operation to the Collateral, which expertise shall be determined by the Servicer, in the Servicer’s sole

under the related Asset Documents, or other event which, with the giving of notice, passage of time or both would constitute an event of default under the related Asset Documents, shall otherwise occur as a result of such transfer, and the proposed
transferee and its principals shall deliver (A) all organization documentation requested by the Servicer, which shall be satisfactory to the Servicer (in the Servicer’s sole discretion) and (B) all certificates, agreements and covenants
required by the Servicer; and
  
 (vi) with respect to
Mortgage Loans, the current Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the existing title policy insuring the Security Instrument, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property
and naming the proposed transferee as owner of the Mortgaged Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement, the Mortgaged Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or
liens other than those contained in the title policy issued in conjunction with the related Asset Documents.
  
 When any Collateral has been or is about to be conveyed by the Borrower, to
the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Asset under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Security Instrument or Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if either (i) the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under
applicable law or (ii) the Servicer determines that such enforcement would not be in the best economic interest of the Owner.  In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement
with the Person to whom such Collateral has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Security Instrument, the Borrower remains liable
thereon.  If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Borrower is released from liability and such
Person is substituted as the Borrower and becomes liable under the Note.  In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Asset Payments on the related Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect
immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required Asset Payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven.  Any fee
collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as Ancillary Income.

the related lender to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Collateral, then for so long as such Loan is owned by the Owner, and to the extent it has knowledge of such lien or other encumbrance, the Servicer, on behalf of
the Owner, will be requested to exercise (or decline to exercise) any right it may have as the lender of record with respect to such Loan to (x) accelerate the payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to the creation of any such lien or other
encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.
  
 (o) Monitor all UCC
financing statements and certificates of title, and file all UCC continuation statements as necessary to avoid a lapse in continuation of a security interest in any Collateral constituting personal property.

authorizes the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, to bring or defend any claim, action, arbitration, litigation or other similar proceeding, in the name of the Owner, to effectuate the servicing of the Assets.  Without limiting the

subject to the UCC, Servicer may exercise all of Owner’s rights and remedies as a secured creditor under the UCC, and under the Asset Documents, including selling the interests of the Borrower in the Collateral at public or private sale, in
the entirety or in separate parts, as the Servicer may determine.  The Servicer shall be initially responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer.  The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Collateral shall have suffered damage that is not covered by a
hazard Insurance Policy or other Insurance Policy, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such Collateral unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the net
Liquidation Proceeds for the related Asset after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
  
 (b) As an alternative to foreclosure or comparable conversion of the ownership of Collateral, subject to the
terms of any applicable Loss Share Agreement, the Servicer may sell a defaulted Asset if the Servicer determines that such a sale is likely to increase the amount of Liquidation Proceeds, and any such sale of a defaulted Asset by the Servicer shall
be effected in a manner expected, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, to maximize Liquidation Proceeds.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Servicer has no duty to pursue Asset sales as part of its loss mitigation
procedures.
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall neither obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, nor otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the
meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person that regularly conducts environmental audits in accordance with customary industry standards, that:
  

(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Owner to take such actions as are
necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
  
 (ii) 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 Owner to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
  
 (d) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall make the determination described above on the basis of a report prepared by a Person that regularly conducts environmental
audits in accordance with customary industry standards, without regard to whether the Servicer has received notice or has actual knowledge of the presence of any toxic or hazardous substances on the related Mortgaged Property.
  
 (e) The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 2.7 shall be advanced by the
Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor as a Servicing Advance.
  
 (f) If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Owner to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property
into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such
Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Owner.  The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to
the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor as a Servicing Advance.
  
 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of Collateral securing an Asset if in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer it would not be in the best economic interests of the Owner to do so.  In such event, the Servicer will not be required to make any further Servicing
Advances in connection with the Asset.
  
 2.8 Acquired Collateral.
  
 Except to the extent that the Applicable Requirements or any applicable
Appendices provide otherwise, the following provisions shall apply to the management and disposition of Acquired Collateral:
  

(a) The deed, title, or certificate or bill of sale to any Acquired Collateral shall be taken in the name of the Owner or any other entity or entities used by the Owner to hold
Acquired Collateral for investors/owners.
  
 (b) The Servicer shall
segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Acquired Collateral separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to Acquired Collateral an account
held in trust for the Owner (the “Acquired Collateral Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account.  The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Custodial Account to serve as the Acquired Collateral Account, subject to
separate ledgers for each Acquired Collateral.  The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the Acquired Collateral Account.
  
 (c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and
prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any Acquired Collateral as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on
such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner.  In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Acquired Collateral Account all revenues received by it
with respect to an Acquired Collateral and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Acquired Collateral including, without limitation: (i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect
of such Acquired Collateral; (ii) all taxes and assessments in respect of such Acquired Collateral that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and (iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such Acquired Collateral.  To
the extent that amounts on deposit in the Acquired Collateral Account with respect to an Acquired Collateral are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such Acquired Collateral, the Servicer shall
advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the Acquired Collateral and if in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the Acquired Collateral.
  
 (d) Upon request by the
Owner or in the Servicer’s discretion, with respect to any Acquired Collateral, the Servicer shall obtain estimations of the value of the Acquired Collateral from parties selected by the Servicer, which may be broker price opinions if the
Acquired Collateral is real property, and shall solicit, in a commercially reasonable manner, bids for the purchase of such Acquired Collateral.
  
 (e) Each disposition of Acquired Collateral shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably determines to be in the
best interest of the Owner and provided the sales price and the related terms and conditions are results of arm’s-length negotiation.  To the extent the Acquired Collateral was subject to the UCC, Servicer may exercise all of
Owner’s rights and remedies as a secured creditor under the UCC, and under the Asset Documents, including selling the Acquired Collateral at public or private sale, in the entirety or in separate parts, as the Servicer may
determine.  The proceeds of sale of the Acquired Collateral shall be promptly deposited in the Acquired Collateral Account.  As soon as practical thereafter the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse
itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed advances made pursuant to this Section, and on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the date on which such sale proceeds are received, the
net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Acquired Collateral Account shall be distributed to the Owner.
  
 (f) In addition to the withdrawals from the Custodial Account permitted under Section 2.3(e), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Acquired Collateral Account
for any Acquired Collateral to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances made in respect of such Acquired Collateral or the related Loan.  On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each Acquired
Collateral Account maintained by it and remit to the Owner the income from the related Acquired Collateral received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant hereto.
  
 (g) The Servicer shall file required information returns (or extensions, if necessary), if any, with respect to
the receipt of interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Collateral and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Collateral as required by the Code, to the extent set forth in the
applicable Appendix.  Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the Code and a copy thereof shall be sent to the Owner promptly after the filing thereof.

fiscal year, with a certified statement of the Servicer’s financial condition as of the close of its fiscal year.  The Servicer shall make its servicing personnel available during regular business hours to respond to reasonable
inquiries from the Owner.  Any additional requests for loan audit or confirmations to be performed by the Servicer’s audit firm on the Assets shall be at the sole expense of the requesting party.  The Servicer will keep

this Agreement (including penalties, late fees or late charges incurred by the Servicer), any such request for reimbursement shall be reasonably documented by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  In the event that
amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for (i) Servicing Advances, (iii) disbursements of principal under Loans, (iii) penalties, late fees or late charges incurred by the Servicer, or (iv) expenses
and costs incurred and reimbursable in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, the Servicer shall be entitled to request reimbursement from the Owner by providing the Owner with an invoice (and the documentation required in accordance with the previous

officers, employees, agents and directors from any liability, claim, loss, demand, action, damage, assessment, deficiencies, taxes, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (“Damages”), directly or indirectly
resulting from or arising out of the Servicer’s fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 Assets in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Owner, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto.  In such event, or if the Servicer deems it necessary to defend any such action, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the related Custodial Account for its
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action.
 

 8.2 
Indemnification by the Owner.
  
 The Owner agrees to indemnify, defend, and holds harmless the Servicer, its officers, employees, agents and directors from any Damages, directly or indirectly resulting from or
arising out of (i) the Owner’s failure to observe or perform any or all of the Owner’s covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement; (ii) the origination, making, funding, sale or servicing of the
Assets prior to the related Transfer Date or after the related Termination Date, (iii) the absence or unavailability of any documents evidencing or relating to an Asset, including but not limited to any documents necessary to service the Assets in
accordance with Applicable Requirements, other than to the extent resulting for the actions or omissions of the Servicer, (iv) compliance with any instructions of the Owner to the extent that compliance with such instructions does not comply with
Applicable Requirements, (iv) the continuation by the Servicer of the past practices of any prior servicer or owner of the Asset that fails to comply with Applicable Requirements or the Servicing Standard, except if and to the extent the Servicer
reasonably should have become aware of such compliance failure under the Servicing Standard, or (v) any actions or omissions to act by the Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Assets (including, without limitation, actions or omission in
connection with any Loss Share Agreement), in each case unless due to the Servicer’s fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
  
 8.3 Procedure for Indemnification.
  
 Promptly upon receipt of notice of any claim, demand or assessment or the commencement of any suit, demand, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will use its best efforts to notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing thereof in sufficient time for the Indemnitor to
respond to such claim or answer or otherwise plead in such action.  Except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby, the omission of the Indemnitee to promptly notify the Indemnitor of any such claim or action shall not
relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have to the Indemnitee in connection therewith.  If any claim, demand or assessment shall be asserted or suit, action or proceeding commenced against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor
will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent it may wish to assume the defense, conduct or settlement thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee.  After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense, conduct, or settlement thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses consequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense, conduct or settlement
thereof.  The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection with any such claim and make its personnel, books and records relevant to the claim available to the Indemnitor.  In the event the Indemnitor does not wish
to assume the defense, conduct or settlement of any claim, demand or assessment, the Indemnitee will not settle such claim, demand or assessment without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  
 8.4 Limits on Servicer Obligations.
  

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer
shall not be responsible or liable for any obligations of Owner or any other Person under any other agreement related to the Assets, other than as expressly set forth herein, including but not limited to any obligations of Owner or any other Person
under any agreements related to the origination, sale or repurchase of the Assets.
