 THIS IS A SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of [            ] (the
“Agreement”), among People’s Choice Home Loan Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), People’s Financial Realty Mortgage Securities Trust, Series
[            ], a Delaware statutory trust, as issuer (the “Issuer”), [            ], a national banking

Inc., as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”) and as company (in such capacity, the “Company”). The Servicer engaged the Seller as its subservicer, and the Seller in turn, with
[            ] consent, engaged the Subservicer to enter into this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Subservicing Agreement with the Servicer and the other parties hereto and

on the Closing Date, the Depositor will sell the Mortgage Loans and certain other property to the Issuer and pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other property
acquired from the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee to secure the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. In consideration for the Mortgage Loans and other property conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor will
receive from the Issuer the Certificates evidencing the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer and the Notes representing indebtedness of the Issuer. 
 The Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, after deducting all Scheduled Principal due on or before the Cut-off Date, of
[$            .] 
 In consideration of the mutual agreements herein
contained, each of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the Seller, the Company and the Indenture Trustee undertakes and agrees to perform their respective duties hereunder as
follows:

 ARTICLE II 
 CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS 
 Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Issuer.
(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Issuer without recourse all its right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal and Prepayment Charges due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets
as shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Payment Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may be held by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account and the Securities Administrator in the Payment Account, (iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim
thereto), (vi) the rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Section 2.03(a) and (viii) any proceeds of the foregoing. It is not the intent of any party to this Agreement to include in the
Trust Estate any Mortgage Loan made or existing in violation of any predatory or anti-abusive lending laws. Although it is the intent of the Depositor and the Issuer that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this
Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate
and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 
 (b) In connection with the above transfer and
assignment, the Depositor, or the Seller on its behalf, hereby delivers to the Custodian, on behalf of the Issuer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan: 
 (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed by the Seller or the originator, as applicable, without recourse, to “HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture relating to People’s Financial Realty Mortgage Securities Trust, Series [            ], Mortgage-Backed Notes, Series
[            ]”, with any intervening endorsements showing an unbroken chain of title from the originator to the Indenture Trustee, or with respect to a Mortgage Loan as to which the
Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit with indemnity and, if available, a copy of the lost Mortgage Note. If, however, such Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, are delivered endorsed in blank, then the Custodian may stamp such
notes in accordance with Section 2.3(a) of the Custodial Agreement; 
 (ii) the original recorded Mortgage, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon; provided that if such document is not included because of a delay by the public recording office where such document has been delivered for recordation or such office as a matter of policy does not return the original of
such document or if such original Mortgage has been lost, the Seller shall include or cause to be included a copy thereof certified by the appropriate recording office, if available; 
  

 3 

 (iii) an original duly executed Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form from the Seller or the
originator, as applicable, to “[            ], as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture relating to People’s Financial Realty Mortgage Securities Trust, Series
[            ], Mortgage-Backed Notes, [            ].” If, however, such Assignment is delivered endorsed in blank, then
the Custodian may stamp such assignment in accordance with Section 2.3(a) of the Custodial Agreement; 
 (iv) the original intervening
Assignments, if any and if available, with evidence of recording thereon, showing an unbroken chain of title to the Mortgage from the originator thereof to Person assigning it to the Indenture Trustee; provided that if such document is not
included because of a delay by the public recording office where such document has been delivered for recordation or such office as a matter of policy does not return the original of such document, the Seller shall include or cause to be included a
copy thereof certified by the appropriate recording office, if available; 
 (v) the originals of each assumption, modification or
substitution agreement, if any and if available, relating to the Mortgage Loan; and 
 (vi) the original title insurance policy, or, if such
policy has not been issued, any one of an original or a copy of the preliminary title report, title binder or title commitment on the Mortgaged Property with the original policy of the insurance to be delivered promptly following the receipt
thereof. 
 The Seller need not cause to be recorded any Assignment of Mortgage; provided, however, that the Assignment of
Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan shall be submitted for recording by the Seller, at no expense to the Trust or the Indenture Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Notes evidencing at least 25% of the
Note Principal Balance, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of
a master servicing transfer as described in Section 6.02 of this Agreement and (v) if the Seller or an affiliate of the Seller is not the Servicer or the Subservicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to
the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage (in which case only the Assignment of Mortgage for that particular Mortgage must be recorded). Upon discovery by the Seller that recording of the assignments is required pursuant to one or more of the
conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall be required to deliver such assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following receipt of such notice. The Seller shall furnish the
Indenture Trustee, or its designated agent, with a copy of each assignment submitted for recording. In the event that any such assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly have a substitute
assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded. 
 To the
extent an assignment referred to in clause (c)(iii) above is required to be recorded (including, without limitation, assignments for states which are not covered by the Opinion of Counsel in the prior paragraph), the Seller at its own expense shall
complete and submit it for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records, with such assignment completed in favor of the Indenture Trustee. While such assignment to be recorded is being 

  

 4 

 
recorded, the Indenture Trustee shall retain a photocopy of such assignment. If any assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Indenture Trustee
because of any defect therein, the Seller is required to prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller shall cause such substitute assignment to be recorded in accordance with this paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) of a copy of such Mortgage certified by the
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof. 
 If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
to the Indenture Trustee because of any defect therein, the Seller shall prepare a substitute Assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller shall cause such Assignment to be recorded in accordance with this section. 

If a defect in any Mortgage File is discovered which materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interests of the
Noteholders or Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, including if any document required to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee has not been delivered (provided that a Mortgage File will not be deemed to contain a defect for an
unrecorded assignment under clause (iii) above if the Seller has submitted such assignment for recording pursuant to the terms of the following paragraph), the Seller shall either (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such defect or (ii) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the related Mortgage Loan upon the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.04 hereof
for substitutions. 
 The Seller shall exercise its best reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee within 120 days of the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the original or a photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each such Mortgage Loan assigned to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 2.01. 
 The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest to the Mortgage Loans and other
property, now existing and hereafter created, conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.01, other than with respect to servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans. 
 (c) The Depositor, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be conveyed to the Trust that is either
(i) a “High-Cost Home Loan,” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan,” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective
January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan,” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004, or (iv) a “High-Cost Home Loan,” as defined by the Indiana
Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005.

 Section 2.02. Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by the Issuer. (a) The Issuer acknowledges
the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Estate to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review by the Custodian, on its behalf, and the exceptions which may be noted by the Custodian, on its behalf, pursuant to the procedures
described below, and the Issuer will cause the Custodian to hold, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Custodian, pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other
assets of the Trust Estate delivered to it, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. On the Closing Date, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall
acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer of an Initial Certification, receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent
necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five (5) Business Days after the
receipt by the Custodian thereof), the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, shall review each Mortgage File delivered to it and shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and Issuer an Interim
Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian will ascertain whether all documents required to be reviewed by it have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether the Mortgage Notes relate, determined on the
basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due
execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Custodian finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or is unrelated, determined on
the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A or does not conform on its face to the review criteria specified in this Section (a “Material
Defect”), the Custodian shall notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee of such Material Defect in writing. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days
from the date of notice from the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the Material Defect within such period, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Indenture Trustee’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such Material Defect
relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing
repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been
returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and
delivery to the Custodian shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document. 
  

 6 

 (b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, will review, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer a Final
Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained
from the recording office. If the Custodian finds a Material Defect, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee in writing (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections
(b) (iv), (v) and (vii) of Section 2.01 hereof, the Custodian’s obligations shall extend only to the documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee of the Material Defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such Material Defect within such
period, and if such Material Defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to,
within 90 days from the Custodian’s or Indenture Trustee’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the
inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the
Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office;
provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Indenture
Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document. 
 (c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in accordance with Section 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to Securities Administrator the Repurchase Price for deposit in the
Payment Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Repurchase Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Payment Account, the Depositor
shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian and, the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan and certification that the Repurchase Price has
been deposited in the Payment Account), shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or
warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in
the Payment Account. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in a form agreed to between the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the 

  

 7 

 
Custodian, to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Issuer a copy of such
amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a Material Defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such Material Defect
available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or to the Indenture Trustee on their behalf. 
 Section 2.03. Assignment of Interest in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Issuer all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Depositor hereby acknowledges that such right, title and interest in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will be pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Issuer’s, the Indenture
Trustee’s and the Noteholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall execute such further documents as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to carry out such enforcement. 
 (b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall
give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Section 2.04 of this Agreement, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Issuer; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any
representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase
Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase by
the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Repurchase Price to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Payment Account and written notification detailing the components of such Repurchase Price. The Depositor shall submit
to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian a Request for Release, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, upon receipt of certification from the Securities Administrator that the Repurchase Price has been deposited in the
Payment Account, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to
vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in the Payment
Account. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly deliver to the Issuer, Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies a copy of such amendment. Enforcement of the 

  

 8 

 
obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay
the Repurchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.

 Section 2.04. Substitution of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of
purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Indenture
Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition
of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) hereof and the Indenture Trustee
shall cause the Custodian to notify the Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of Section 2.02 hereof. Within two
(2) Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Payment Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the
Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled
Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller
and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of certification from the Securities Administrator that such excess has been deposited in the Payment Account, the Indenture Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be
deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the
property of the Trust Estate and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a
Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust
Estate. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse,
representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable.
The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the
date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed 

  

 9 

 
to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Sections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies. 
 Section 2.05. Representations and Warranties Concerning the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities

Any such assignment to the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment to the Indenture Trustee of any obligations or liabilities of the Issuer under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE III

 Section 3.01. Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and

as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer or the Subservicer and shall
cause the Servicer and the Subservicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer and the Subservicer under the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and

Servicer’s, the Subservicer’s or the Master Servicer’s use or misuse of such powers of attorney. 
 The Indenture Trustee
shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Indenture Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Noteholders, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior
written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that
purpose at a charge that covers the Indenture Trustee’s actual costs.

 Section 3.02. Master Servicer Oversight of Specified Subservicer Actions. As long as the Subservicer is performing the primary servicing of
the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall oversee the following Subservicer actions and decisions as described below, and the Subservicer shall request Master Servicer approval of such decisions as
described below: 
 (a) Loss Mitigation

 13 

 (iii) Approval of deed in lieu decisions; 
 (b) Approval of all REO listing values; 
 (c) Approval of all material loan modifications, including fee waivers; 
 (d) Approval of foreclosure timeline, if the Subservicer
proposes a timeline different from the timeline required by Fannie Mae, except that approval need not be obtained for re-projections due to legal matters that arise in the course of foreclosure (e.g., county delays in setting sale dates, proof of
service of process, contested matters, title claims, legal issues such as temporary restraining orders and bankruptcy filings); 
 (e)
Approval of settlements pursued in the context of a contested judicial foreclosures; 
 (f) Review and recalculation of net realized losses

 The Subservicer shall request the Master Servicer’s approval of any decision
concerning the foregoing matters, by delivering to the Master Servicer a written or electronic notice stating the Subservicer’s proposed action (“Subservicer Request”). The Subservicer shall supplement any Subservicer Request
with additional related information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer does not approve, reject or modify a proposal made by the Subservicer within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of a Subservicer
Request, Subservicer shall submit an electronic “Escalation Notice” (a notice sent to three (3) Master Servicing Officers in the Master Servicer’s servicing operations). After the Master Servicer has received the
Escalation Notice, if the Master Servicer does not respond within three (3) Business Days, then the Subservicer Request shall be deemed approved. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any notice under this Section if the
Subservicer has e-mailed that notice to a Master Servicing Officer (or the three designated Master Servicing Officers, for an Escalation Notice) of the Master Servicer and the sending computer confirms delivery of the e-mail. Such receipt shall be
deemed to have occurred on the following Business Day, if it is received after 4:00 PM Eastern Time on a Business Day. By the Closing Date, and from time to time afterwards, the Master Servicer shall designate, by written notice to the attention of
Subservicer’s “Servicing Manager,” the three (3) Master Servicing Officers to whom the Escalation Notice should be sent and their facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses. 
 Section 3.03. Monitoring of Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Depositor the compliance by the Servicer with its duties, itself or undertaken through the Subservicer, under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicer’s and the Subservicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely
upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s or the Subservicer’s compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In the event that the
Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that,
unless 

  

 14 

 
cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee thereof and the
Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. 
 (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations, itself or through the Subservicer, in accordance
with the Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, shall terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to enter into a
new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before
the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer, if the primary servicing is being transferred. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing
Agreement 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 Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have
received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. 
 (c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the
Master Servicer related to any termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all
out of pocket legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by the Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses
associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer or the Subservicer, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Payment Account pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(vii) of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply, itself or through the Subservicer, with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the Servicing Agreement. 
 (e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it
replaces. 
 (f) The Subservicer may not be terminated except pursuant to the terms of the Subservicing Agreement. A successor Servicer shall
assume the role of the Servicer under the Subservicing Agreement as well as under the Servicing Agreement. 
  

 15 

 Section 3.04. Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the
performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees. 

Section 3.05. Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (a) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Issuer, Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (b) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages,
(c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Master Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney in form reasonably acceptable to it empowering the
Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal,
prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master
Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Indenture Trustee shall have no
liability for use or misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer). If the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to
be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee or that the Indenture Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master
Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 Section 3.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall
cause the Servicer or the Subservicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. 
 Section 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer or the Subservicer of a notification that 

  

 16 

 
payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Noteholders on the next Payment Date, the Servicer or the
Subservicer will, if required under the Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be
deposited in the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer or the Subservicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement have been so deposited) and shall request that the Indenture Trustee deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to the Servicer or
the Subservicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Subservicer and the Indenture
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, is authorized, to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under
the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account. 
 (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Subservicer, the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon the request of the Subservicer, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee, of
two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable), release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held in its or the Custodian’s possession or control to the Subservicer, the Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable. The Subservicer, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be obligated to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian when the need therefor by the Subservicer, the Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as it reasonably determines, no longer exists, unless (1) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited into the Custodial Account, in which case, upon receipt of
a certificate of a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable, similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian to the Subservicer, the Servicer or the Master
Servicer, or (2) such documents have 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 Servicer or the Subservicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer, as applicable, certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to whom such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

 Section 3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Issuer
and Indenture Trustee. (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicer and the Subservicer (to the extent required by the Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Indenture Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicer or the Subservicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicer or the Subservicer, the Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee. Any
funds received by the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect
of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Payment Account the Master Servicer Compensation and other amounts provided in this
Agreement, the right of the Servicer to receive its Servicing Fee net of the Subservicing Fee, and the right of the Subservicer to retain or withdraw its Subservicing Fee and the rights of the Servicer and the Subservicer to retain or withdraw from
the Custodial Account other amounts as provided in the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Subservicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Noteholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, designated by
such Person. In fulfilling such a request, none of the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer shall be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information. 
 (b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Issuer, subject to the pledge to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Subservicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any
amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. 
 Section 3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies. (a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be
maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted 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. 
  

 18 

 (b) Pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.04 of this Agreement, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer,
or remitted to the Master Servicer by the Servicer or the Subservicer after collection, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Payment Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the
Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into
account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Noteholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.05 hereof. 
 Section 3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer or the Subservicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds
disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer or the Subservicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Payment Account upon receipt, except that any
amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not
be so deposited (or remitted). 
 Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies. (a) The Master
Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of
any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or the Servicer or the Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent
required under the Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,
as applicable. 
 (b) The Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent required under the Servicing
Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.04 hereof, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or remitted to the Master Servicer by the Servicer or the Subservicer
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Payment Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.05 of this Agreement. 
  

 19 

 Section 3.12. Indenture Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Notes have been distributed in full and the Indenture has been satisfied and
discharged in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall also retain, or shall cause the Custodian to retain, possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time. 
 Section 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. For each Mortgage Loan that comes into and continues in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to either (i) foreclose upon, repossess or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, or (ii) as an alternative to foreclosure, sell such defaulted Mortgage Loans at fair market value
to third-parties, if the Servicer or the Subservicer reasonably believes that such sale would maximize proceeds to the Trust (on a present value basis) with respect to those Mortgage Loans. The Servicer or the Subservicer shall be responsible for
all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or sale; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer or the Subservicer as contemplated in Section 4.05 of
this Agreement. 
 Section 3.14. Compensation for the Master Servicer. On each Payment Date the Master Servicer will, pursuant to
a separate agreement with the Depositor, be entitled to a portion of the income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Payment Account, pursuant to Article IV, for the performance of its activities hereunder (the “Master
Servicer Compensation”). Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any Prepayment Charge or penalty) shall be retained by the Subservicer (or
by the Servicer, if the Subservicer is no longer performing the primary servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement) and shall not be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. 
 Section 3.15. REO Property. (a) In the event the Trust Estate acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Indenture Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Noteholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer or the 

  

 20 

 
Subservicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant
to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer or the Subservicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by the Servicing Agreement. 
 (b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer and the Subservicer to deposit all funds collected
and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property into the Custodial Account. 
 (c) The Master Servicer, the Servicer and
the Subservicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances it made, as well as (i) in the case of the Servicer, any unpaid Servicing
Fees net of any portion thereof consisting of unpaid Subservicing Fees, which shall belong to the Subservicer and (ii) in the case of the Subservicer, any unpaid Subservicing Fees, in each case from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection
with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided that any such unreimbursed Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of
any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property. 
 (d) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement,
the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Subservicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Custodial Account on or prior to the Servicer Remittance
Date following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Payment Account on such Servicer Remittance Date. 
 Section 3.16. Prepayment Charges. (a) To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive (or permit a
subservicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total
proceeds, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such waiver is required under state or federal law. The Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless it is waived in accordance
with this Section 3.16(a). 
 (b) If the Servicer waives any Prepayment Charge other than as permitted under Section 3.16(a) above,
the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge into the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall pay the amount of such Prepayment Charge for the benefit of the Issuer (or any assignee of the Issuer) by depositing such amount into the
Custodial Account at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial Account. Prepayment Charges shall not be available to pay the Class A or Class M Notes but shall be applied to pay
interest and principal on the Class N Notes pursuant to Section 3.05(e)(viii) of the Indenture. 
 Section 3.17. Assumption of
Role of Servicer by Subservicer. The Subservicer may request the Servicer to assign its rights and obligations under the Servicing Agreement to the Subservicer, and upon such request the Servicer shall resign and assign such rights and 

  

 21 

 
obligations to the Subservicer, and the Master Servicer shall approve such a resignation by the Servicer and assignment to and assumption by the Subservicer
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement if (1) the Subservicer has been assigned a primary subprime mortgage loan servicer rating by each Rating Agency, (2) each Rating Agency has delivered to the Master
Servicer a letter confirming that such resignation, assignment and assumption will not, in and of itself, result in a withdrawal, reduction or qualification of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of the Notes, and
(3) either (A) [            ] shall have been acting as Servicer for at least 24 months and shall have received aggregate servicing compensation pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement of at least $500,000 or (B) the primary subprime servicer rating of Indiana Home Loan Practices Act has been reduced to “Below Average” or its equivalent by either Rating Agency. 
 Section 3.18. UCC. The Depositor shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements that were
filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Trust Estate with stamped recorded copies of such financing statements to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee promptly upon receipt by the Depositor. If directed by the Depositor in writing, the
Indenture Trustee will execute any continuation statements prepared by the Depositor and deliver them as directed solely at the expense of the Depositor. The Depositor shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change
in the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 Section 3.19. Optional Purchase of Mortgage Loans. (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan
which is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, the Subservicer (or the Servicer, if the Subservicer has resigned or has been terminated) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. 
 (b) The Subservicer (or the Servicer, if the Subservicer has resigned or has been
terminated) will have the option at any time to purchase any of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate at the Repurchase Price, up to a maximum of five Mortgage Loans. In the event that this option is exercised as to any five Mortgage Loans, this
option will thereupon terminate. This option is not revocable by the Servicer. 
 (c) If, at any time, the Servicer or the Subservicer remits
to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Payment Account covering the amount of the Repurchase Price for a Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.21(a) or Section 3.21(b) above, and the Master Servicer provides to the
Indenture Trustee a certification signed by a Master Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Payment Account, then the Indenture Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan to the Servicer
or the Subservicer, as the case may be, without recourse, representation or warranty and the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, shall succeed to all of the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage
Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents,
free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect thereto. 
  

 22 

 Section 3.20. Monthly Advances. If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a
related Due Date is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the Servicer or the Subservicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Payment
Account which will be used for an advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (solely in its capacity as successor Servicer) will deposit in the Payment Account not later than the related Payment Date an amount equal to such
deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee and Master Servicing Compensation for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer (solely
in its capacity as successor Servicer) shall continue to make such advances through the date that the Servicer is required to do so under the Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer deems an advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, on the Payment
Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Securities Administrator (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the
advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. 
 Section 3.21. Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Payment Account not later than each Payment Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to subclauses
(a) and (b) of the definition of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Prepayment Period, and not so paid by the Servicer and (ii) the Master Servicing Compensation for such Payment Date
(such amount, the “Compensating Interest Payment”). The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of any Compensating Interest Payment. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 ACCOUNTS 
 Section 4.01. Custodial Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer to establish and maintain, or
cause the Subservicer to establish and maintain, a Custodial Account in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into which account shall be deposited within two
(2) Business Days of receipt, all collections of principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan and any REO Property received by the Servicer or the Subservicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Prepayment Charges, Liquidation
Proceeds, and advances made from the Servicer’s or the Subservicer’s own funds (less subservicing compensation as permitted by the Servicing Agreement in the case of the Subservicer) and all other amounts to be deposited in the Custodial
Account. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each of the Servicer and the Subservicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and deposits to the Custodial Account for purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. To the
extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Account shall be held by a Designated Depository Institution and segregated on the books of such institution for the benefit of the Noteholders. 
 (b) To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments for the
benefit of Noteholders and, except as provided in the preceding paragraph, not commingled with any other funds. Such 

  

 23 

 
Permitted Investments shall mature, or shall be subject to redemption or withdrawal, no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
for deposit in the Payment Account, and shall be held until required for such deposit. The income earned from Permitted Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be paid to the Servicer or the Subservicer under the Servicing
Agreement, and the risk of loss of moneys required to be distributed to the Noteholders resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Servicer or the Subservicer . The Servicer or the Subservicer (to the extent required by
the Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the amount of any such loss in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Payment Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be distributed to the Noteholders. 
 (c) On or before each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer or the Subservicer shall withdraw or shall cause to be withdrawn from its Custodial Account
and shall remit the same to the Master Servicer for immediate deposit into the Collection Account (as defined in Section 4.03 below) amounts representing the following collections and payments (other than with respect to principal of or
interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date): 
 (i) Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Loans received or any related
portion thereof advanced by the Servicer or the Subservicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement which were due on or before the related Due Date, net of the amount thereof comprising the Subservicing Fee or any fees with respect to any lender-paid
primary mortgage insurance policy; 
 (ii) Principal Prepayments in full, Prepayment Charges and any Liquidation Proceeds received by the
Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related Prepayment Period, with interest to the date of prepayment or liquidation, net of the amount thereof comprising the Subservicing Fee;

 Section 4.02. [Reserved]. 
 Section 4.03. Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Collection Account, which shall be deemed to be a sub-account of the Payment Account. 
 Section 4.04. Payment Account. (a) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the
Payment Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator amounts it receives pursuant to Section 4.01(c) hereof. Such remittance may be accomplished by deposit of such funds into
the Payment Account. The Securities Administrator will deposit into the Payment Account the following amounts, as identified by the Securities Administrator and as received by the Securities Administrator: 
 (i) Any amounts withdrawn from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01(c) of this Agreement; 
  

 24 

 (ii) Any Monthly Advance and any Compensating Interest Payments made by the Master Servicer; 

(iii) Any Insurance Proceeds or Net Liquidation Proceeds received by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator or which were not deposited in the
Custodial Account; 
 (iv) The Repurchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, any amounts which are to be treated pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Agreement as the payment of a Repurchase Price in connection with the tender of a Substitute Mortgage Loan by the Seller
and the Repurchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Servicer or the Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.21 hereof; 
 (v) Any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer with respect to losses on investments of deposits in the Payment Account; 
 (vi) Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Securities Administrator and required to be deposited in the Payment Account pursuant to this Agreement; and 
 (vii) Any amounts received pursuant to the Swap Agreement. 
 (b) The requirements for crediting the Payment Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (i) late payment charges
or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (ii) the items enumerated in Sections 4.05(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and
(xii) of this Agreement, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator, or by the Servicer or the Subservicer to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Payment Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall
remit or cause to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit to the Payment Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Master Servicing
Officer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 (c) The Payment
Account shall constitute a non-interest bearing trust account of the Trust Estate segregated on the books of the Securities Administrator and held by the Securities Administrator in trust, and the Payment Account and the funds deposited therein
shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Securities Administrator (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Securities
Administrator). The Payment Account shall be an Eligible Account. 
  

 25 

 (d) The amount at any time credited to the Payment Account shall be (i) held in cash or
(ii) invested for the benefit of the Noteholders, but only in Permitted Investments as directed by Master Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next
succeeding Payment Date if the obligor for such Permitted Investment is the Securities Administrator, or if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Payment Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Payment
Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer and Depositor, as separately agreed. The Securities Administrator shall remit all investment earnings from the Payment Account to the
Master Servicer on each Payment Date. If there is any loss on a Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer shall remit the amount of the loss to the Securities Administrator who shall deposit such amount in the Payment Account. 
 (e) The Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities
Administrator’s economic self-interest for (i) servicing as investment advisor, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to
effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.

 (f) The Securities Administrator is authorized to make withdrawals from the Payment Account (the order set forth hereafter not
constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals) (i) to make payments on the Notes as provided herein, (ii) to pay or reimburse to the Indenture Trustee all Extraordinary Expenses (subject to the second paragraph of the definition
of Extraordinary Expenses) and (iii) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Payment Account in error, each in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 Section 4.05. Permitted Withdrawals and Transfers from the Payment Account. (a) The Securities Administrator will, from time to time on demand of the Master Servicer, make or cause to be made such
withdrawals or transfers from the Payment Account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement or as the Securities Administrator has instructed hereunder for the
following purposes (limited in the case of amounts due the Master Servicer to those not withdrawn from the Payment Account as certified by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but not in any order of priority):

 (i) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer for any Monthly Advance of its own funds (to the extent not already
reimbursed from the Custodial Account), the right of the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts received on a particular Mortgage Loan (including, for this
purpose, the Repurchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late payments or recoveries of the principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loan respecting which such Monthly Advance was made by such Person;

 (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds relating to a
particular Mortgage Loan for Servicing 

  

 26

which was damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of such Mortgage Loan (to the extent not already reimbursed from the Custodial Account); 
 (iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer from Insurance Proceeds relating to a particular Mortgage Loan for Servicing Advances made by such Person with respect to such Mortgage Loan (to
the extent not already reimbursed from the Custodial Account) and to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer from Liquidation Proceeds from a particular Mortgage Loan for Servicing Advances in the nature of Liquidation
Expenses incurred by such entity with respect to such Mortgage Loan (to the extent not already reimbursed from the Custodial Account); provided that the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses with
respect to a Mortgage Loan to the extent that (i) any amounts with respect to such Mortgage Loan were paid as Excess Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to clause (viii) of this Section 4.05 (a) to the Master Servicer; and
(ii) such Liquidation Expenses were not included in the computation of such Excess Liquidation Proceeds; 
 (iv) to reimburse the Master
Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer for Servicing Advances made by such Person with respect to the Mortgage Loans (to the extent not already reimbursed from the Custodial Account), and the right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause
being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, the Repurchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were
made; 
 (v) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer for any Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance made by such
Person (to the extent not already reibursed from the Custodial Account), after a Realized Loss has been allocated with respect to the related Mortgage Loan if the Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance has not been reimbursed pursuant to clauses
(i) and (iv); 
 (vi) to pay the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 3.14 of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay from its own funds any amounts which it is required to pay under Section 5.03 hereof; 
 (vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.03(c) hereof (which reimbursement shall not be subject to any annual
limitation), to the extent that the Master Servicer has not already reimbursed itself for such amounts from the Payment Account; 
 (viii) to
pay to the Master Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, any Excess Liquidation Proceeds to the extent not retained by the Servicer or the Subservicer; 
 (ix) to reimburse or pay the Servicer or the Subservicer any such amounts as are due thereto under the Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to the Servicer or the Subservicer, to the extent

subject to annual limitations of $150,000 in the case of Extraordinary Expenses reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee, $25,000 in the case of the Owner Trustee, and $250,000 in the case of the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the Securities
Administrator combined (not including the costs and expenses described in Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with a transfer of servicing to a new Servicer following an Event of Default under the
Servicing Agreement, which shall not be capped), to the extent such amounts have not already been previously paid or reimbursed to such party from the Payment Account; 
 (xi) to remove amounts deposited in error; 
 (xii) to clear and terminate the Payment Account pursuant to
Section 8.10 of this Agreement; and 
 (xiii) to make any Net Swap Payments or Swap Termination Payments pursuant to Sections 3.05(c)(i)
and (d)(i) of the Indenture. 
 (b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan
basis, for the purpose of accounting for any reimbursement from the Payment Account pursuant to subclauses (i) through (iv) or with respect to any such amounts which would have been covered by such subclauses had the amounts not been
retained by the Master Servicer without being deposited in the Payment Account under Section 4.04(b) hereof. 
 (c) On each Payment
Date, pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the related Interest Funds, Principal Funds and Prepayment Charges to the extent on deposit in the Payment Account to the Holders of the Notes, in
accordance with Section 3.05 of the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE V 
 THE MASTER SERVICER 
 Section 5.01. Liabilities of the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by it herein. 
 Section 5.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Master Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
state of its incorporation, 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, the Notes or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Person into which the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
  

 28 

 Section 5.03. Indemnification of the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Securities Administrator. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee and Securities Administrator (each an “Indemnified Person”) for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to this Agreement, the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or the Notes or the powers of attorney and any other executed Basic Document delivered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder (a) related to the Master Servicer’s
failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (b) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; provided that in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or
pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after such Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge
thereof. The Master Servicer’s failure to receive any such notice shall not affect an Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give
notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Owner Trustee for any
loss, liability or expense for which the Depositor is required to indemnify the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Trust Agreement, other than (x) any loss liability or expense required to be covered by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 5.03 (y) and any loss, liability or expense already paid by the Depositor in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Trust Agreement. 
 Section 5.04. Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others. Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 5.03 above:

 (a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability
to the Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust Estate or the Noteholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. 
 (b) The Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer 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. 
  

 29 

 (c) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer shall be
indemnified by the Trust Estate and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or
related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes or the Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified by the
Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. 
 (d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute
or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement or the Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders hereunder and thereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Payment Account as provided by Section 4.05
hereof. Nothing in this Section 5.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01(a)
of this Agreement. 
 (e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so
pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust Estate might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the
Mortgaged Properties but shall give written notice to the Indenture Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities. 
 (f) The Master
Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 
 Section 5.05.
Master Servicer Not to Resign. Except as provided in Section 5.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to
such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Company or the Indenture Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee and the Company shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master
Servicer. Any resignation of the Master Servicer shall result in the automatic resignation of the Securities Administrator. 
  

 30 

 Section 5.06. Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the appointment of any successor
master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Company and
such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the
servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had
continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder. 
 Section 5.07. Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. The Master Servicer may
sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the Company may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master Servicer; provided, however,
that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to master service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not
less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Company (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Indenture Trustee
and the Company); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and
punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor
to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Notes in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as
evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies
with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by the Company, the Company shall pay the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective
date thereof. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULT 
 Section 6.01. Master Servicer Events of Default. “Master Servicer Event of Default,”
wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such 

  

 31 

 
Master Servicer Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer: 
 (a) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the Payment Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement (other than a Monthly Advance), and such failure continues unremedied for
a period of three (3) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or 
 (b) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be
performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Noteholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes; or 
 (c) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such
decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days
after the commencement of the case; or 
 (d) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations; 
 (e) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or
delegation under Sections 5.05 or 5.07 hereof; or 
 (f) The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Payment
Account any Monthly Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Payment Account Deposit Date. 
 In each and every
such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes,
by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by such Noteholders), with a copy 

  

 32 

 
to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of the Company, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject
to Section 6.02 of this Agreement, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to 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. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust Estate or which thereafter become part of the
Trust Estate; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are
then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall
not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default described in clause (f) of this Section 6.01 shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received written notice or has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Noteholder or to reimbursement
of Monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon become the successor Master Servicer as provided in Section 6.02 below and carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation
to make any Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (f) of this Section 6.01. Any such action taken by the Indenture Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Payment Date.

 Section 6.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice
of termination pursuant to Section 6.01 above or an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the
Indenture Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the 

  

 33 

 
Seller shall have the right to either (i) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (ii) select a successor Master Servicer;
provided further, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (including advances deemed recoverable and not previously made with respect to the relevant Payment Date giving
rise to the Master Servicer Event of Default which shall be made by such successor Master Servicer) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, but subject to Section 5.06 of this Agreement,
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted
under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than
$10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall obtain a letter
from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Notes will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Indenture
Trustee shall be the successor and act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the
Mortgage Loans as the Company and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.06 of this Agreement shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would
have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent
contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. 
 (b) If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a
separate capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI of the Indenture shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Indenture Trustee); the provisions of Article V, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer. 
 Section 6.03. Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof, at the expense of the trust, to Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and to the Rating Agencies. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Defaults. The Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders, at the expense of the trust, within 60
days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee received 

  

 34 

 
written notice or has actual knowledge, unless such Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Master Servicer Event of
Default. The Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences
thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Notes, which default may only be waived by Holders of Notes aggregating 100% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes. Upon any such waiver of a
past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely 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. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING 
 Section 7.01. Reporting on Form 10-D. (a) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the
Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with
a copy of the related monthly statement to Noteholders, as required under Section 7.03 of the Indenture (hereinafter, the “Monthly Statement”) attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is
required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported, by the parties specified on Exhibit F, to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor
pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. 
 (b) As set forth on Exhibit F hereto, within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties to this
transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities
Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit I hereto (an “Additional Disclosure
Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (c) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, electronically forward a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor;
provided that such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be accomplished electronically) of any
changes to or its approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes 

  

 35 

 
or an approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is
in final form, and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time, or if a previously
filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 7.04(b). Promptly—but no later than one (1) Business Day—after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall make available, on its Internet website, a final, executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Securities Administrator. Each party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator of their respective duties under this Section 7.01, related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D, is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of
their duties under this Section 7.01. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or
timely file such Form 10-D where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto that is needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 Section 7.02. Reporting on Form
10-K. (a) On or prior to the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date
as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of each year), commencing in 2007, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, on behalf of the Trust, a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required
by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent that such items have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, the related
Servicing Agreements and Custodial Agreements, (i) an annual compliance statement for each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties (together with each Custodian,
each, a “Reporting Servicer”) as described under Section 7.05 and in such other agreements, (ii) (A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for each Reporting Servicer, as described
under Section 7.06 and in such other agreements, and (B) if each Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance
of noncompliance, or if each Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not
included, (iii) (A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for each Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 7.07 or in such other agreement, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation
report identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that
such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification as described in Section 7.08 (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator, at its discretion, may omit
from the Form 10-K any annual compliance statement, assessment of compliance or attestation report that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB). Any disclosure or information in 

  

 36 

 
addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be
reported to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator by the parties specified on Exhibit G and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator shall have no duty or liability
for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. 
 (b) As
set forth on Exhibit G hereto, no later than March 1st (with a ten calendar-day cure period) of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a
responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an
Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Depositor shall be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (c) After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, electronically forward a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor.
Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25th, the Depositor
shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or its approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or an approval, or if the Depositor does not request a
copy of a Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form, and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A duly authorized representative of the
Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time, or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 7.04(b). Promptly—but no
later than one (1) Business Day—after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator shall make available, on its Internet website, a final, executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Securities Administrator. The parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 7.02, related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K, is contingent upon such parties
(and any Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 7.02 and Sections 7.05, 7.06, 7.07 and 7.08. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s
inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

 Section 7.03. Reporting on Form 8-K. (a) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring
disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable  

  

 37 

 
Event”), and if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, on behalf of the Trust, any Form 8-K, as
required by the Exchange Act; provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be
included on Form 8-K other than the initial Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be reported by the parties specified on Exhibit H to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by
the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator shall have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the
next paragraph. 
 (b) As set forth on Exhibit H hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting
requirements, no later than the close of business (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day after
the occurrence of a Reportable Event, (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in
such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor
will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (c) After preparing
the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, electronically forward a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be accomplished electronically)
of any changes to or its approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or an approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form
8-K is in final form, and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 7.04(b). Promptly—but no later than one (1) Business Day—after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator will make available, on its Internet website, a final, executed copy of each Form 8-K. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their respective duties
under this Section 7.03, related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K, is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 7.03. Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure
results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto that is needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
  

 38 

 Section 7.04. De-Listing; Amendments and Late Filing. (a) On or prior to
January 30th of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of reporting with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. 
 (b) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
that is required by this Agreement to be filed because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or was delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities
Administrator will promptly electronically notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the
Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D.
In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than for the purpose of restating any monthly report), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K
Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator shall electronically notify the Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such amendment, and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary 8-K/A, 10-D/A or
10-K/A. Any Form 15 or 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 7.04, related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15 and 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties
under this Section 7.04. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
any such Form 15 or 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15 or 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 Section 7.05. Annual Statement of Compliance. (a) The Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (or otherwise make
available) (and the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to deliver) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator on or before March 1st (with a ten calendar-day cure period) of each year, commencing in 2007, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that
(i) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant,
has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement or such other applicable agreement, in the case
of a Servicing Function Participant, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. 
  

 39 

 (b) The Master Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received by it from each
Servicer with its own annual statement of compliance to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 7.05. 
 (c) In the event that the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any applicable agreement, in the
case of a Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to this Section 7.05 or to such applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination,
assignment or resignation. 
 Section 7.06. Annual Assessment of Compliance. (a) By March 1st (with a ten calendar-day cure period) of each year, commencing in 2007, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator,
each at its own expense, shall furnish or otherwise make available, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report on
an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (i) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (ii) a statement that such party used the
Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (iii) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be
filed pursuant to Section 7.02, including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (iv) a statement that a
registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period. 
 (b) No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a 10-K is required to be filed, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant
(provided, however, that the Master Servicer need not provide such information to the Securities Administrator so long as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person). When the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator (or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their assessments to the Securities Administrator, such parties will also, at such time, include the assessment and attestation pursuant to Section 7.07 of each
Servicing Function Participant engaged by it. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the
Depositor shall review the same and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the assessments, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and, taken individually, address the Relevant Servicing Criteria
for each party as specified on Exhibit G and on any similar exhibit set forth in each Servicing Agreement with respect to each Servicer and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. 
  

 40

the Servicers with its own assessment of compliance to be submitted to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 7.06. 
 (e) In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement,
or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a report on assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 7.06, or to such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or
resignation. 
 Section 7.07. Annual Attestation Report. (a) By March 1st (with a ten calendar-day cure period) of each year, commencing in 2007, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense, shall
cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish an attestation report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor to the effect
that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all
material respects or that it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting
firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted-use language. 
 (b) Promptly after receipt of each such assessment of compliance and attestation report, the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant to Section 7.06 is coupled with an
attestation meeting the requirements of this Section 7.07 and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.

terminated, assigns its rights and duties under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement, or any applicable Servicing Agreement or sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall cause a registered public accounting firm to
provide an attestation pursuant to this Section 7.07, or such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation. 
 Section 7.08. Annual Sarbanes-Oxley Certification. (a) Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley

provide, to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 1st (with a ten calendar-day cure period) of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each, a
“Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates
(collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the
Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com or by facsimile at 410-715-2380.

Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the event that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be furnished to it pursuant to this Section 7.08 or any Servicing Agreement.

([(        )         -        ]). 
 Section 7.10. Additional Information. Each of the parties hereto agrees to provide to the Securities Administrator such additional
information related to such party as the Securities Administrator may reasonably request, including evidence of the authorization of the person signing any certificate or statement, financial information and reports, and such other information
related to such party or its performance hereunder. 
 Section 7.11. Intention of the Parties and Interpretation. Each of the
parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Article VII is to facilitate compliance by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB. Therefore, each such party agrees

comply with requests made by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information as the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor may determine in good faith is
necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no 

  

 42 

 
amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB. 
 Section 7.12. Indemnification. Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such party, respectively, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, respectively, and each of its directors,
officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon
(a) any breach by such party of any if its obligations hereunder, including, particularly, its obligations to provide any assessment of compliance, attestation report, compliance statement or any information, data or materials required to be
included in any 1934 Act report, (b) any material misstatement or omission in any information, data or materials provided by such party (or, in the case of the Securities Administrator or Master Servicer, any material misstatement or material

hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

reasonable legal fees, judgments or expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) to the Servicer or any such other Person directly or indirectly resulting from (a) the Subservicer’s failure to observe and perform any or all
of the Subservicer’s duties, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement; (b) a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty of the Subservicer set forth in this Agreement, provided that any such

Subservicer’s failure to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement; or (d) the Subservicer’s failure to promptly transfer the Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Files to the Servicer or

is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans. 
 The Servicer and the Subservicer hereby agree that the
provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10. Assignment. 
 The Subservicer shall not assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder, 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 without the prior written consent of the Servicer; provided that the Subservicer may enter into an
Advance Facility without consent pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Servicing Agreement, provided that the terms of such facility do not (i) increase the duties, functions or responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, under the
Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto or (ii) derogate from any rights of the Servicer hereunder, under the Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any documents
related hereto or thereto. The Subservicer shall not appoint a successor subservicer without the prior written consent of the Servicer. In each case, such consent cannot be unreasonably withheld. No appointment of a successor subservicer hereunder
shall be effective until such successor shall have assumed the Subservicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. 
 Section 11. Limitation on Resignation of Subservicer. 
 The Subservicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Subservicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until the Servicer or a successor subservicer shall have assumed the Subservicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

 Section 12. Termination. 
 The Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate all the rights and obligations of the Subservicer under this Agreement and in and to the servicing contract established hereby and the proceeds
thereof if a Subservicer Event of Default shall have occurred. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate upon (a) the mutual agreement of the Servicer and Subservicer (which agreement shall be in writing), (b) the resignation of the
Subservicer pursuant to Section 11 hereof, (c) upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in which case the Servicer’s role as servicer of the Mortgage Loans shall terminate and
the Subservicer shall be the servicer of the Mortgage Loans or (d) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement); provided, however, that upon termination of [    ] as Servicer
under the Servicing Agreement, the obligations of [    ] under this Subservicing Agreement shall terminate, and shall be the sole responsibility of any successor Servicer. 
 In the event that the Subservicer is terminated hereunder due to the occurrence of a Subservicer Event of Default, the Subservicer shall transfer
servicing with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer or any successor subservicer in accordance with the Servicer’s or such successor subservicer’s servicing transfer procedures. The terminated Subservicer shall be entitled to
payment for unpaid Subservicing Fees and reimbursement for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances by the Servicer or successor subservicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.05 of the Servicing Agreement; provided,
however, that the terminated Subservicer shall provide the Servicer with documentation acceptable to the Servicer evidencing the Subservicer’s right to reimbursement for any such outstanding amounts. The terminated Subservicer shall be
responsible for all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Servicer, the terminated Subservicer and any successor subservicer in connection with any such servicing transfer. The appointment of any successor to the Subservicer as subservicer shall
not be effective unless and until the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall have received a letter from each Rating Agency confirming that the appointment of such successor will not result in the withdrawal, reduction or
qualification of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of the Notes.
