EX-99.94th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of such Mortgage Loan by such assignee. (f) Section 6.1 of the Original Servicing Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: SECTION 6.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing: (i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner when due any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of three (3) Business Days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been received by the Servicer, from the Owner; or (ii) except as otherwise provided in clause (viii) or (ix) below, any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenant, obligation or agreement of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or relating to all, or substantially all, of the Servicer's property; or (v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or (vi) the Servicer shall fail to be an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in good standing; or (vii) the Servicer shall attempt to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder in contravention of this Agreement; or 4
EX-99.95th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
(viii) any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants' letter or other material when and as required under Sections 8.4(b), 8.5(b), 8.5(c) or 8.5(d); or (ix) any failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants' letter when and as required under Section 8.6 or 8.7, including any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 8.8(b) any Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (unless such failure to identify a Subcontractor as a Participating Entity was attributable solely to the role or function of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than Mortgage Loans), which failure continues unremedied for five calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants' letter was required; or (x) failure by the Servicer to be in compliance with the "doing business" or licensing laws of any jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property is located; then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer (in each such instance, the "Defaulted Servicer"), may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have at law or equity, including injunctive relief and specific performance, commence termination of all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulted Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, and may exercise any and all other remedies available at law or at equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any failure described in clause (viii) or (ix) above, in the event that the Defaulted Servicer (or any applicable Subservicer or Subcontractor) delivers any missing information, report, certification or accountants' letter, following the date on which such delivery is due (and, in the case of clause (ix) following the expiration of the five calendar day cure period provided therein), and the Master Servicer or Depositor, as the case may be, despite such late delivery, files the related Exchange Act report on time without having to file a Form 12b-25 related to a notification of an inability to make a timely Exchange Act report filing and the Servicer indemnifies and promptly reimburses the Master Servicer and Depositor pursuant to Section 8.9(b) for all costs and expenses incurred as a result of such delay, any notice given by the Master Servicer declaring an Event of Default shall be automatically revoked and the delay in providing the missing information, report, certification or accountants' letter shall cease to constitute an Event of Default. Upon receipt by the Defaulted Servicer of such written notice from the Owner stating the intent to terminate the Defaulted Servicer as servicer under this Agreement as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power of the Defaulted Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 9.1. Upon written request from the Owner, the Defaulted Servicer shall, at its sole expense, prepare, execute, and place in such successor's possession or control all Collateral Files and Credit Files, and do or 5
EX-99.96th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, all of which shall be undertaken immediately and shall be completed as soon as possible and in all events by not later than forty-five (45) Business Days following the Owner's request therefor. The Defaulted Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Defaulted Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor of all cash amounts that have been credited by the Defaulted Servicer to the Account or the Escrow Account at the time of transfer, and all other amounts that may thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and to which the Defaulted Servicer is not entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Defaulted Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Defaulted Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. (g) Article 8 of the Original Servicing Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: ARTICLE 8 RECONSTITUTIONS; REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE SECTION 8.1 RECONSTITUTIONS; SERVICER'S PURCHASE RIGHT, APPOINTMENT OF MASTER SERVICER (a) The Owner and the Servicer agree that in connection with any Reconstitution meeting the requirements of this Section 8.1(a) (a "Permitted Reconstitution"), the Owner may, in its sole discretion, upon Required Notice to the Servicer, assign its rights under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans subject to such Reconstitution provided that no such Reconstitution may be effected by Owner or any of its permitted assignees with respect to the Mortgage Loans if, as a result thereof: (i) more than three (3) investors would own Mortgage Loans in such Loan Pool at any one time; provided, that the Purchaser's completion of a Clean-Up Transfer (as defined below) shall not be counted for purposes of this subclause (i); (ii) the Owner or its designee shall fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Servicer with initial drafts of all documents for which the Servicer is requested to become a party in connection with such Reconstitution at least ten (10) days prior to the related settlement date (the "Subsequent Transfer Settlement Date"); (iii) the Owner or its designee shall fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Servicer with a final list of the Mortgage Loans subject to such Reconstitution at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Settlement Date; (iv) no Mortgage Loan shall be subject to more than one (1) Reconstitution in any given Due Period; (v) the related Subsequent Transfer Settlement Date occurs on or prior to the related Servicing Cut-Off Date; or (vi) any single investor would own Mortgage Loans having an aggregate unpaid principal 6
EX-99.97th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
balance immediately following such Reconstitution of less than $5,000,000; provided, that the Purchaser may complete one Reconstitution with a pool having an aggregate unpaid principal balance of less than $5,000,000 (such transfer a "Clean-Up Transfer"). (b) The Owner shall promptly notify the Servicer if the percentage of Mortgage Loans in the entire related transaction increases above the percentage specified in the Required Notice. (c) The Owner shall reimburse the Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the Servicer in connection with any Reconstitution. (d) With respect to any Permitted Reconstitution, the Servicer shall (i) provide the Owner with information and appropriate verification of information in its possession or control as may reasonably be necessary in order to effect such Reconstitution (and, to the extent any such information is in the possession or control of any third party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to provide such information) and (ii) cooperate with all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures not otherwise addressed herein. (e) If, at any time, the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loans serviced hereunder and retained by the Owner ("Portfolio Loans") is less than or equal to one percent (1%) of the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Portfolio Loans as of the related Closing Date, the Servicer may elect, in its sole discretion, to purchase such Portfolio Loans. The purchase price of Mortgage Loans purchased by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall equal the lesser of (i) the aggregate fair market value of such Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase by the Servicer and (ii) the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans, plus the amount of interest on such Unpaid Principal Balance at the applicable Net Rate from the date to which interest has last been paid and distributed to the Owner to, and including, the last day of the month in which such purchase occurs. (f)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, upon (x) thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Servicer with respect to any Portfolio Mortgage Loans or (y) fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to the Servicer with respect to any Permitted Reconstitution, to appoint and designate a master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), as master servicer of Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of written notice of such appointment, the Servicer shall promptly enter into a servicing agreement (a "Reconstituted Servicing Agreement") to service the Mortgage Loans for the Master Servicer in accordance with the Master Servicer's requirements; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be under no obligation to enter into any Reconstituted Servicing Agreement unless the obligations and duties of the Servicer as a subservicer thereunder (A) are not materially different from than those set forth herein, (B) do not cause undue 7
EX-99.98th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
burden on the Servicer, (C) do not expand in any material respect any of the obligations, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder and (D) will not result in any increased cost to the Servicer. If the Servicer and the Master Servicer enter into a Reconstituted Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans, and remit and report to the Master Servicer, in accordance with the terms of the Reconstituted Servicing Agreement and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, the servicing provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be superseded by the Reconstituted Servicing Agreement. If the Servicer and the Master Servicer do not enter into a Reconstituted Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans, and remit and report to the Master Servicer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (ii) Upon appointment of a Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.1(f)(i), the Servicer shall correspond and communicate solely with the Master Servicer regarding the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall have the right as designee of the Owner to enforce the covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Servicer shall follow and shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Master Servicer under this Agreement as if such instructions were the instructions of the Owner. The Master Servicer shall have the right to give any waivers or consents required or allowed under this Agreement on behalf of the Owner, and the Servicer shall be entitled to rely on such waivers and consents as if such waivers or consents were the waivers or consents of the Owner. The Master Servicer is empowered to enter into and execute and deliver any amendments or modifications to this Agreement as the Owner's designee hereunder, and such amendments or modifications shall be binding upon the Owner as if the Owner had executed and delivered the same. (iii) Upon receipt of notice of termination of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall no longer deal with the Master Servicer and shall instead deal directly with the Owner. From and after receipt of such notice of termination of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall service the applicable Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall give no effect to any Master Servicing Agreement entered into with the Master Servicer. SECTION 8.2 RECONSTITUTION AGREEMENTS In connection with each Permitted Reconstitution, the Servicer shall: (i) execute and deliver a Reconstitution Agreement containing terms and conditions that are consistent with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement and, in the case of a Securitization Transaction, that are customary for publicly offered securities or privately placed securities, as the case may be, backed by mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans included in such Securitization Transaction, provided that (A) any servicing reporting requirements must be consistent with the standard practices of the 8
EX-99.99th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
Servicer; and (B) such Reconstitution Agreement does not expand in any material respect any of the obligations, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement or result in any increased cost to the Servicer; (ii) with respect to any Securitization Transaction in which all or substantially all of the mortgage loans in the entire related transaction consist of Mortgage Loans, (A) execute and deliver a pooling and servicing agreement that meets the requirements of clause (i) above, provided that each of the parties to such pooling and servicing agreement negotiates in good faith any terms or conditions in such pooling and servicing agreement not specifically referenced or provided for under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement; and (B) provide the Owner with opinions of counsel as to the Servicer's corporate authority and the enforceability of the pooling and servicing agreement against the Servicer and certificates from public officials, each as the Servicer shall reasonably determine to be necessary to effect such Securitization Transaction; and (iii) in the event the Owner or its assignee elects to appoint and designate a master servicer of Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Reconstitution Agreement, (A) the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans, and remit and report to the master servicer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Reconstitution Agreement; (B) the master servicer shall have the right as designee of the Owner to enforce the covenants and conditions set forth in, and to give any waivers or consents required or allowed under, this Agreement on behalf of the Owner; and (C) the Servicer shall follow and shall be entitled to rely on the instructions and any waiver or consents of the master servicer under this Agreement as if such instructions were the instructions of the Owner. SECTION 8.3 INTENT OF THE PARTIES; REASONABLENESS The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 and 8.9 is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser and any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. Neither the Owner nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the 9
EX-99.910th Page of 37TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner, the Master Servicer or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith to amend this Amendment and/or the Original Servicing Agreement in light of any changes in the interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner and the Master Servicer to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees), the Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner, the Master Servicer or such Depositor to permit the Owner, the Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or such Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. The Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Owner's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB. SECTION 8.4 ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SERVICER (a) The Servicer shall be deemed to represent to the Owner and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Owner or such Depositor under Section 8.5 for a Permitted Reconstitution that, except as disclosed in writing to the Owner or such Depositor, as applicable: (i) the Servicer is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Servicer; (ii) the Servicer has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving the Servicer as servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Servicer; (iv) no material changes to the Servicer's policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Servicer's financial 10

With respect to each claim for indemnification made hereunder, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing, giving notice of the nature of the claim, promptly after receipt of a service of a summons or other first legal process that shall have been served upon such indemnified party, but failure to notify the indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party on account of the indemnity contained in this letter agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if the indemnifying party so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such liability (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified), but if the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this letter agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the indemnified party or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, may retain additional counsel but shall bear the fees and expenses of such counsel unless: (i) the indemnifying party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and representation of both by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable, in connection with any proceeding or separate but similar proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (separate from its own counsel) for the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any claim effected without the indemnifying party's written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of an indemnified party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity is or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. If the indemnification provided for in this letter agreement is determined to be insufficient or unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any liabilities referred to herein (on the grounds of public policy or otherwise), then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the liabilities and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate equally to reflect (i) the relative fault and benefits of (a) the indemnifying party on the one hand and (b) the indemnified party on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as (ii) any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of each indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of each indemnified party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by, or action within the control of such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The indemnifying party and the indemnified party agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
