     (b) No later than five (5) Business Days after the Servicing Transfer Date, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subservicer all of the documents, information and property that is required for the transfer and commencement of servicing for the related Mortgage Loans, including without limitation the Servicing File and all escrow balances (whether positive or negative), suspense balances, restricted escrow and other cash balances that exist in connection with the Mortgage Loans without offset or netting of any negative balances. In the event that the Subservicer reasonably incurs any cost or expenses because of the failure by the Servicer to deliver or cause the delivery of all such required documents, information and property (including without limitation any advances of funds for escrows or impounds), then the Subservicer shall be reimbursed any such amounts as Pass-Through Expenses pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this paragraph shall not be applicable with respect to any Mortgage Loans to the extent servicing of such Mortgage Loans was previously transferred by the prior servicer to the Subservicer prior to the Trust becoming owner of such Mortgage Loans.

     (c) Nothing shall prohibit the Subservicer or any Affiliate of the Subservicer from taking applications from those Mortgagors who initiate action on their own, or in the case of Mortgage Loans for which default is reasonably foreseeable, from engaging in a program generally to encourage or recommend mortgage loan products provided by the Subservicer or such Affiliate; provided such refinancing is in accordance with Exhibit I. The Subservicer shall furnish to the Servicer all marketing materials at such time such items are provided to the Mortgagors, which materials shall be acceptable to the Servicer. To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, as one of its loss mitigation options, the Subservicer shall consider the refinancing of an existing Mortgage Loan in accordance with Exhibit I and to the extent for which default is reasonably foreseeable, into a mortgage loan with a principal balance less than the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan to the extent necessary to qualify the Mortgagor for an FHA-insured mortgage loan.
     (d) The Subservicer shall service the Mortgage Loans as provided herein commencing on the related Servicing Transfer Dates. All servicing shall be conducted in the name of the Subservicer as servicing agent for the Servicer; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall conduct any foreclosure proceedings in the name of the Trust or an Owner Designee designated by the Trust, as provided above, and may complete and record any related Assignment of Mortgage in the name of the Trust, or Owner Designee, as applicable, in such proceedings. The Subservicer may enter into a commercially reasonable arrangement for certain functions relating to the servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any Person if such Person is in compliance with the laws of the state(s) necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such servicing arrangement; provided, however, that pursuant to Section 4.5 the Subservicer shall not delegate the servicing responsibilities with respect to any Mortgage Loan to any subservicer without the prior written consent of the Servicer. Any such arrangement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement and shall not constitute a “mortgage servicing transfer” within the meaning of Section 6 of the Real Estate Procedures Settlement Act, 12 U.S.C. §2605, (“RESPA”), without prior written approval of the Servicer. In each case, the Subservicer shall remain responsible for its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Subservicer shall be liable for all acts and omissions of such Person as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Subservicer, and the Subservicer shall pay all fees and expenses associated with such arrangement from the Subservicer’s own funds..
     (e) If permitted by the Limited Power of Attorney, the Subservicer, on behalf of the Trust, may sue to enforce or collect on any of the Mortgage Loans or any Insurance Policy covering a Mortgage Loan, as agent of the Trust.
     (f) The Subservicer shall hold each Servicing File in trust for the benefit of the Trust for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loans. The Subservicer’s possession of Servicing Files shall be for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and the ownership of the Servicing Files shall remain vested in the Trust and Subservicer shall provide the Trust, Servicer and Owner Designee with full access to the Servicing Files. All records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Subservicer shall become part of the Servicing Files. The ownership of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Mortgage Loan Documents, the contents of the related Servicing File and all

12


 

rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in connection therewith, is vested in the Trust. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into the possession of the Subservicer shall be received and held by the Subservicer in trust for the benefit of the Trust as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Servicing Files held by the Subservicer shall be segregated from the other books and records of the Subservicer and shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Trust. The Subservicer shall release its custody of the contents of the Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the Servicer, except when such release is required as incidental to the Subservicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Except as provided herein, the original Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(a), any fees and expenses of the Custodian shall not be payable by the Subservicer.
     Section 2.2 Books and Records.
     Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Servicer, record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall remain (i) in blank, (ii) in the name of the Trust, or (iii) in the name of an Owner Designee. The Subservicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Trust. The Trustee, the Servicer and their agents may from time to time upon reasonable notice inspect any of the Subservicer’s books and records pertaining to this Agreement, including without limitation all Servicing Files, at reasonable times during the Subservicer’s normal business hours at the Subservicer’s offices; provided, that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, only one (1) Business Day’s prior notice shall be required. At all times while a Mortgage Loan is being serviced hereunder, the beneficial ownership of such Mortgage Loan shall be vested and remain in the name of the Trust. All rights arising out of each Mortgage Loan shall be vested in the Trust and the Subservicer shall not assert any contrary interest therein.
     Section 2.3 Custodial Agreement.
     (a) On or prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Custodian has received all such Mortgage Loan Documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining the Custodial Agreement and shall pay fees and expenses as required under the Custodial Agreement. In the event that the Subservicer is required to pay any of the Custodian’s fees and expenses, the Subservicer shall notify the Servicer and if the Servicer instructs the Subservicer to pay such fees and expenses these shall be considered Pass-Through Expenses and the Subservicer shall be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3 hereof if not previously reimbursed by the Servicer.
     (b) The Subservicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the Subservicer’s receipt of an executed copy of such document; provided, however, that the

13


 

Subservicer shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within ten (10) Business Days of submission, and to provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Subservicer of the original recorded document.
     (c) If permitted by the Limited Power of Attorney, the Subservicer will be permitted to release any Liquidated Mortgage Loan or proceed with foreclosure actions.
     Section 2.4 Limitation on Scope of Servicing Obligation.
The Subservicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that (i) is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, or (ii) exclusively involves allegations against the Trust, the Trustee, the Servicer or prior owners or prior servicers of the Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any allegation or claim involving a violation or breach of any Predatory Lending Law. Notwithstanding the forgoing, should Subservicer desire to undertake to appear in, prosecute or defend actions described in (i) or (ii) above, Subservicer shall obtain Servicer’s consent prior to appearing in, prosecuting or defending these actions. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Servicer will be liable and the Servicer agrees to reimburse the Subservicer for any such expenses, costs and liabilities as Pass-Through Expenses under the terms of this Agreement, except with respect to any expenses, costs and liabilities that are incurred solely as a result of a material breach of this Agreement, the negligence or willful misconduct of the Subservicer that relate to actions pursuant to this Section.
     Section 2.5 Loss Mitigation and Recovery Actions.
     Consistent with Section 4.2 below, Subservicer shall have the delegated authority to initiate loss mitigation or recovery actions (e.g., forbearance plans, modifications and deeds in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosures and repossessions, as applicable) within the agreed upon parameters set forth on Exhibit I hereto (also known herein as the “Approval Matrix”). Subservicer will not engage in principal forgiveness without the prior written consent of the Servicer.
     Section 2.6 HMP Program.
     Subservicer shall implement the HMP Program with respect to the Mortgage Loans subserviced under the Agreement to the extent a Mortgage Loan is eligible for the HMP Program. Subservicer warrants that Subservicer is a servicer in good standing under the HMP. With regard to the Mortgage Loans, Subservicer will not participate in the HMP Principal Reduction Alternative program, the Second Lien Modification Program or the HFA Hardest-Hit Fund Program. Subservicer must obtain Servicer’s written approval with regard to Mortgage Loans to participate in any future optional HMP programs.

14


 

     If required by FNMA, FHLMC or the U.S. Department of Treasury, Servicer and Subservicer will execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
     Section 2.7 Oversight Program.
     Subservicer shall provide to Servicer the ability to monitor Subservicer’s actions by:
     (a) Allowing ten (10) users of Servicer to have remote access to all of Subservicer’s systems that contain account notes, balances, and loan level data. These Subservicer systems include, but are not limited to, LSAMs, Foretracs, and Remedy, as well as other Subservicer systems for which remote access is available for use.
     (b) Subservicer will provide recordings of phone calls with Mortgagors with respect to Mortgage Loans as requested by Servicer not to exceed 10 recorded phone calls per week. Servicer will provide pertinent information needed for Subservicer to identify the requested recordings and Subservicer will send the requested recordings to Servicer on a weekly basis in the form of a .wav or equivalent file per recording. The Servicer and the Subservicer may also have regularly scheduled monitoring sessions on the premises of the Subservicer to listen to the requested phone calls with Mortgagors with respect to Mortgage Loans.
     (c) Subservicer will provide oversight specific reporting. Subservicer agrees to provide data files in formats agreed to with Servicer.

     Section 4.2 Authority of the Subservicer; Delinquencies.
     (a) The Subservicer shall have the full power and authority acting alone to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices.
     (b) If agreed to by the Trustee, upon the request of the Subservicer, the Trustee will furnish the Subservicer with a sufficient quantity of Limited Powers of Attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate, as reasonably specified by Subservicer, to enable the Subservicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
     (c) The Subservicer will conduct its activities hereunder with the goal of curing any Delinquencies in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and in no case, less than in a commercially reasonable manner, including without limitation the pursuit of any remedy or recovery in a manner that has a reasonable likelihood of realizing a higher amount of net proceeds taking into consideration the costs and expenses of obtaining such realization, the probability or risks associated in obtaining such realization and the net present value of such amount based on the expected timing of such realization. The Subservicer’s initial discussions with the Mortgagor will cover the cause of the Delinquency and the time frame in which the Mortgagor believes the Delinquency will be cured. The Subservicer will, at its sole discretion, use notices, letters, telegrams, telephone calls, face-to-face contact and other responsible collection techniques consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices to attempt to cure the Delinquency and will maintain collection records on all contacts with the Mortgagor. Subject to Legal Requirements and the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Subservicer shall have the right, at its sole discretion and without the approval of the Servicer, to:
     (i) determine the timing, manner and amount of contact the Subservicer makes with the Mortgagors, but contact attempts with Mortgagors must be initiated no more than sixteen (16) calendar days after each Mortgagor’s Due Date in the event of nonpayment by Mortgagors;
     (ii) negotiate with any Mortgagor a repayment plan of up to twelve (12) months duration; and
     (iii) determine the timing of any notice of intent to foreclose, posting of an account for foreclosure, commencement of foreclosure proceedings or the filing of any documents in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices.
     (d) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Subservicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Subservicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Trust; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not permit any waiver or modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal),

19


 

make any future advances, extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, waive any prepayment penalty (other than accordance with Section 4.19) or any other act that could reasonably be expected to affect materially and adversely the Trust’s interest in the Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan, Mortgage, Mortgaged Property, Mortgage Loan Documents or Mortgage Servicing File related to a Mortgage Loan.
     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is a Defaulted Loan or, in the judgment of the Subservicer, such default is imminent, the Subservicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, may also waive, modify or vary the following terms of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the unpaid principal balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”), unless prohibited by Exhibit I.
     (f) As to any Mortgage Loan that becomes 180 days Delinquent, if the Subservicer, determines that the expected recovery through foreclosure or other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property will result in no or a de minimus amount of Liquidation Proceeds, then the Subservicer shall provide the Servicer at least four Business Days prior notice of the Subservicer’s intention to charge-off such Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Servicer does not respond within such period, then the parties agree that the Servicer consents to such action.
     (g) The Subservicer further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name, when such Subservicer believes it is appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® system and record the related Mortgage in the appropriate jurisdiction. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be a Servicing Advance.
     (h) The Subservicer shall not consent to the placement of any lien on the Mortgaged Property or any REO Property that would impair the Trust’s lien position without notifying and obtaining the written consent of the Servicer.
     (i) Exhibit I (Approval Matrix) hereto provides an overview of the actions which may be taken by the Subservicer under the terms of this Agreement and the corresponding Servicer approval required for such actions.
     (j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, the Subservicer shall apply the appropriate loss mitigation treatment as identified in and in compliance with Approval Matrix. Such treatments include, but are not limited to, the HMP Program. With respect to Mortgage Loans modified under the HMP Program, in the event of any conflict among the HMP Program, Exhibit I, and/or the Servicing Agreement, the Servicing Agreement will govern the servicing, and to the extent not in conflict with the Servicing Agreement, the HMP Program will govern the servicing, and to the extent not in conflict with the Servicing Agreement or the HMP Program, Exhibit I will govern the servicing. Notwithstanding

20


 

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Trust will be given credit for all HMP Owner Payments and the Subservicer will be given credit for all HMP Servicer Payments.; provided, however, the Subservicer shall pay to the Servicer fifty percent (50%) of all “Servicer Pay for Success Payments” received by the Subservicer pursuant to the HMP Program through and including January 31, 2012 within sixty (60) days of receipt thereof.
     (k) Prior to pursuing any foreclosure action hereunder with respect to a Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgagor files for bankruptcy protection, Subservicer shall (i) if such Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® system, remove the related Mortgage from the MERS system and record the related Assignment of Mortgage in the name of the Trust in the applicable jurisdiction and (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is not registered on the MERS® system, record the related Assignment of Mortgage in the name of the Trust.
     Section 4.3 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
     Continuously from each Servicing Transfer Date, in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices and this Agreement, the Subservicer shall diligently collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans and ascertain and estimate Escrow Payments with respect to escrowed Mortgage Loans and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property such that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
     Section 4.4 Notification of Adjustments.
     With respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related interest rate adjustment date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the Legal Requirements and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Subservicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment adjustments.
     Section 4.5 Duties the Subservicer May Delegate.
     (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.16(j) below, in the ordinary course of business, the Subservicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder relating to the tracking of tax payments and insurance, collections agreements and the listing of REO Properties to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the servicing standards set forth in Section 4.1 and pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.5.
     (b) The Subservicer shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that each such Person retained to provide any of the delegated services is fully licensed and holds all required governmental licenses, franchises, certificates, qualifications and permits necessary to provide, and that such Person is reputable and capable of providing, the services for which such Person is retained. Any such Person shall be retained solely for the Subservicer’s account and any servicing fees and compensation payable to the Person shall be at the sole expense of the

21


 

Subservicer. The Subservicer shall remain liable to the Trust, Trustee, Master Servicer, Servicer, their successors and assigns for the performance of the Subservicer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, notwithstanding the delegation of any servicing function pursuant to this Section 4.5.
     (c) The Subservicer shall indemnify and hold the Trust, Trustee, Master Servicer, Servicer and Owner Designee harmless from any and all claims, losses, expenses, costs, fees (including but not limited to attorney fees) and damages arising out of or relating to the delegation of any of its duties hereunder except where delegation by the Subservicer was at the request of the Servicer; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Subservicer against any liability which would be imposed on the Subservicer or any its directors, officers, agents or employees by reason of the Subservicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations hereunder in following such instructions.
     Section 4.6 Servicing Files.
     (a) Each Servicing File maintained by the Subservicer for each Mortgage Loan shall be clearly identified and marked to reflect the Trust’s ownership of the related Mortgage Loan, shall be kept in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall contain the following items, to the extent received by the Subservicer from the Servicer or its agent or photocopies or imaged copies of each:

     (i) the Appraisal Report made at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
     (ii) the settlement statement for the purchase and financing or refinancing of the Mortgaged Property under the Mortgage Note and Mortgage;
     (iii) copies or originals of any tax service contract;
     (iv) documentation of all non-HMP modifications to the original Mortgage Loan Documents;
     (v) documentation, including appropriate approval by the Trustee, if required, relating to any releases of any collateral supporting the Mortgage Loan;
     (vi) the loan application, any credit reports, verification of employment, verification of any deposit, and tax returns;
     (vii) the originals of all RESPA and Truth in Lending Act disclosure statements executed by the Mortgagor; and
     (viii) all other Mortgage Loan Documents which are customarily maintained in a Mortgage Loan file in order to properly service a Mortgage Loan.
     (d) Foreclosure correspondence, and legal notifications, if applicable, as well as documentation of all HMP modifications to the original Mortgage Loan Documents, will be provided in separate electronic files.
     (e) Upon discovery by the Subservicer, the Trustee or the Servicer or upon the request of the Trustee or Servicer, the Subservicer will promptly deliver to the Custodian any original Mortgage Loan Document listed in Section 4.6(a) that comes into the Subservicer’s possession and shall retain a copy of any such Mortgage Loan Document in its Servicing File. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any document listed in clause (a)(iii) above, (1) within ten (10) Business Days of the execution of any such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement, Subservicer shall provide a copy thereof to the Custodian; and (2) within sixty (60) days of the execution of any such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement, Subservicer shall provide the original counterpart(s) thereof to the Custodian.
     Section 4.7 Imaged Records.
     The Subservicer, at its expense, may duplicate or image the Servicing Files on electronic media, but may not destroy hard copies of the documents required to be maintained in Servicing Files without the Servicer’s prior consent; provided, however, if Subservicer is under no legal, regulatory, administrative or similar obligation to maintain the original contents of the Servicing Files in hard format for at least seven (7) years after the last activity on the Mortgage Loan, and

23


 

the Servicer does not consent to the destruction of such hard copies, the cost and responsibility of storing such hard copies shall be the cost and responsibility of Servicer.
     Section 4.8 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clause; Assumption.
     (a) Upon the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, the Subservicer, upon the earlier of notice or discovery, shall enforce the due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Loan, unless (i) the Subservicer determines that the enforcement would not be permitted by the Legal Requirements; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall be entitled to assume that the Mortgage Note and Mortgage may be enforced in accordance with their respective terms, (ii) a Mortgage Note assumption rider relates to the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the applicable Insurer advises that the enforcement of the due-on-sale clause will jeopardize the Private Mortgage Insurance coverage, if any, on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subservicer may, in its reasonable discretion, provide the Mortgagor notice of the Mortgagor’s breach of the due-on-sale clause and allow the Mortgagor to cure the breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. In all circumstances of unapproved transfer initiated by the Mortgagor, the Subservicer shall notify the Servicer (which notice may be pursuant to the reports to the Servicer required by this Agreement) and the Private Mortgage Insurer, if any, of such transfer and obtain written approval from the Private Mortgage Insurer before initiating enforcement proceedings.
     (b) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Subservicer may also in its discretion waive the due-on-sale clause on any Mortgage Loan and permit the assumption of such Mortgage Loan if the assumption is required by the Legal Requirements or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Upon such approval and the execution by the new Mortgagor of an assumption agreement obligating the new Mortgagor to all of the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Subservicer may approve such assumption in accordance with the Legal Requirements and the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable. Subsequent to the assumption, the new mortgagor shall be deemed to be Mortgagor under this Agreement. The Subservicer shall notify the Servicer of the completion of any approved assumption by the tenth (10th) day of the month following the month of completion. The Subservicer shall provide to the Custodian the original assumption agreement.
     (c) Subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Subservicer may charge the related Mortgagor a reasonable and customary assumption fee and retain such fee.
     Section 4.9 Insurance.
     (a) Subject to reimbursement as a Servicing Advance under the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Subservicer shall cause each Mortgaged Property and REO Property to be covered at all times by Hazard Insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance

24


 

shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. All Hazard Insurance Policies shall be underwritten by an Insurer which is rated A-/VIII or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”), “A-” or better by S&P or “A3” or better by Moody’s. Subject to reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Subservicer shall ensure that Flood Insurance is maintained on each Mortgaged Property and REO Property located in an area that is identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards; provided, that Flood Insurance, as described below, is available on commercially reasonable terms. The Flood Insurance Policy shall be in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan if replacement-cost basis is not available), or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. All Flood Insurance Policies shall be underwritten by a federal government agency or by an Insurer that satisfies Fannie Mae Guidelines regarding the rating of the Insurer or the guarantee of the Insurer’s policies by the National Flood Insurance Program. Additionally, if a Mortgaged Property or REO Property that is not identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards becomes so identified in the Federal Register, within a reasonable period of time after such identification, the Subservicer shall arrange for Flood Insurance to be obtained on the Mortgaged Property or REO Property in accordance with this Section 4.9. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Subservicer and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable under the Fannie Mae Guidelines and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
     (b) The Subservicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Servicer 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 reasonably necessary to realize recovery under the Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Subservicer in respect of such Insurance Policies (other than amounts applied to the restoration and repair of the related Mortgaged Property or to be released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Subservicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be promptly deposited in the P & I Custodial Account or the applicable T & I Escrow Account, as appropriate.
     (c) Subservicer may engage one or more insurance claim adjustors for the purpose of negotiating, settling, compromising, enforcing and otherwise managing insurance claims related to the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties. In such event, the Servicer agrees to be responsible for all such fees.

25


 

     Section 4.10 Insurance Notices.
     The Servicer shall arrange, or shall cause its Owner Designee to arrange, for all insurance drafts, notices, policies, invoices, and similar documents to be delivered directly to the Subservicer, to the extent permitted under the Insurance Policies and Legal Requirements.
     Section 4.11 Tax and Flood Contracts.
     With respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan designated by Servicer, the Subservicer shall provide such real estate tax processing, delinquent tax control, tax status determination, and with respect to any first or junior lien, flood status determination, monitoring of flood insurance and customer support services (collectively the “Tax and Flood Services”) as the Subservicer typically provides for other escrowed and non-escrowed mortgage loans that it services. The purchase or transfer fees associated with the Tax and Flood Services shall be reimbursed by the Servicer to the Subservicer as Pass-Through Expenses in accordance with this Agreement. If the tax or flood data supplied to Subservicer has been prepared by a provider other than Subservicer’s primary Tax or Flood Services provider (as listed on Exhibit F hereto), any transfer fees assessed shall be reimbursed by the Servicer to the Subservicer as Pass-Through Expenses in accordance with this Agreement. The Subservicer shall request that the prior servicer, if any, provide Tax and Flood Services agreements and information with respect to each Mortgage Loan prior to procuring any new Tax and Flood Services. If such agreements and information are not provided by the Servicer or the prior servicer within fifteen (15) days the Servicing Transfer Date, then a tax and/or flood contract (as applicable) will be purchased by Subservicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subservicer shall have no obligation to obtain tax service contracts with respect to second lien Mortgage Loans.
     Section 4.12 Tax and Insurance Accounts; Tax Service.
     (a) All T & I Escrow Accounts shall be established and maintained in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents and Legal Requirements for those Mortgage Loans that provide for or otherwise require Escrow Payments. The Subservicer shall reflect in the Tax and Insurance Account the Escrow funds collected from the Mortgagor and deposited into the applicable T & I Escrow Account for the payment of real estate taxes, ground rents, Private Mortgage Insurance, Hazard Insurance and, if applicable, Flood Insurance premiums, assessments and other charges. If Escrow funds are being collected when the Servicer transfers servicing of the Mortgage Loan to the Subservicer, the Subservicer must establish a T & I Escrow Account (either a separate account or a sub account) for such Mortgage Loan and continue to collect 1/12 of the yearly charge for Escrow with each Monthly Payment. If a Mortgagor’s Escrow funds are insufficient to pay taxes, insurance premiums or other escrowed items, the Subservicer shall timely advance to the T & I Escrow Account from its own funds an amount sufficient to cover the shortage and reflect such advance in the Mortgagor’s Tax and Insurance Account (a “T & I Advance”). Whenever possible, these T & I Advances shall be recovered from the Mortgagor’s subsequent monthly Escrow Payments, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgagor’s Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 6.4(b). Insurance premiums that are not Escrow items but that are collected and disbursed for payment, such as life, major medical, disability or other assessments not required as part of the Mortgagor’s monthly installments, should not be reflected in the Mortgagor’s Tax and Insurance

26


 

Reserve. The Subservicer shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements in connection with Escrow items, the analysis of the Mortgagor’s T & I Escrow Account and any reports to the Mortgagor related thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Subservicer shall comply with all requirements concerning the handling of escrow accounts contained in the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, as amended, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.
     (b) As outlined in Exhibit I, for any First Lien Mortgage Loan that is a non-escrowed loan, in the event that any real estate taxes or assessments in connection with a Mortgage Loan are or become delinquent, then the Subservicer shall effect payment thereof as appropriate and prior to the related tax sale foreclosure date, and any such payment shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance under the terms of this Agreement. The Subservicer shall pay, on behalf of the related Mortgagor, any penalties, fines, similar charges or interest resulting from such delinquency, and shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such penalties, fines, similar charges or interest that it may incur as Servicing Advances under the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, in the event that any Mortgagor fails to provide Subservicer with reasonable proof of hazard insurance in connection with a Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall promptly provide such insurance coverage until such time as the Mortgagor submits reasonable proof of Mortgagor’s own coverage. Any such payment of hazard insurance by Subservicer shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance under the terms of this Agreement.
     (c) For any Mortgage Loan with an established escrow account, in the event that any real estate taxes or assessments in connection with a Mortgage Loan are or become delinquent, then the Subservicer shall effect payment thereof as soon as reasonably possible and any such payment shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance under the terms of this Agreement. The Subservicer shall pay, on behalf of the related Mortgagor, any penalties, fines, or other charges or interest resulting from such delinquency and shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Servicer as Pass-Through Expenses, for any such expenses that it may incur, so long as such delinquency was within thirty (30) days after the Servicing Transfer Date. Any such fines, penalties, or other charges or interest incurred pursuant to this subsection after thirty (30) days following the Servicing Transfer Date shall be the responsibility of the Subservicer.
     (d) In the event that a Mortgaged Property has outstanding tax delinquencies prior to the Servicing Transfer Date that were not reported by the Servicer, a prior servicer or a prior tax service to the Subservicer, the Subservicer shall not be liable for a Mortgaged Property lost to a tax sale for a delinquency occurring prior to the Servicing Transfer Date; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall take all reasonable actions required to cure such tax delinquency in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and/or the reasonable instructions of the Servicer. If the Subservicer obtains prior year delinquency information from a prior servicer and/or owner, the Subservicer may find it necessary to perform a prior delinquency search in order to adequately service such loan. Subject to notice and prior approval by the Servicer, the cost of such search shall be reimbursed by the Servicer to the Subservicer as a Pass-Through Expense.

27


 

     Section 4.13 Bankruptcies.
     The Subservicer will represent the Trust’s interest in any bankruptcy proceedings relating to the Mortgagor and follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.2(k) hereof. The associated costs of protecting the Trust’s interest in bankruptcy shall be paid as Servicing Advances in accordance with this Agreement. If the Mortgagor, a creditor, or a bankruptcy trustee proposes to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Note, reduce the Mortgage Interest Rate, or otherwise modify a Mortgagor’s obligations under a Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall use reasonable efforts to challenge any such modification on a timely basis if a commercially reasonable and valid legal basis exists for such challenge, unless the Servicer agrees to such reduction. Subservicer shall provide notice as provided in Exhibit I to Servicer of any reduction in unpaid principal balance prior to this reduction and obtain written approval of Servicer for the reduction.
     Section 4.14 Foreclosure Procedures.
     (a) In conjunction with loss mitigation efforts provided for in Exhibit I, in the event that any payment(s) due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent and Subservicer determines that such payment(s) are unlikely to be collected from the Mortgagor, the Subservicer shall order one or more Valuations or property inspections with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, and may commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In such connection, the Subservicer shall from its own funds, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.3, make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall have no obligation to advance any amount that the Subservicer determines is likely to be a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance.
     (b) As provided for in Exhibit I, the Subservicer shall initiate, carry out, complete or perform any foreclosure proceeding in the name of the Trust or Owner Designee. Immediately prior to the initiation of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan by the Subservicer under this Agreement, the Subservicer shall perform all actions necessary to transfer ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust or Owner Designee.
     (c) In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Subservicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to mortgage loans in foreclosure or similar proceedings. In the event that foreclosure results in a deficiency and applicable law permits, the Subservicer shall continue to perform collection services in accordance with a receivable collection agreement to be negotiated with the Servicer.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Subservicer has notice or knowledge that a Mortgaged Property has a Negative Environmental Condition or is otherwise contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Servicer otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgage Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for by the Subservicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Subservicer shall promptly provide the Servicer with a written report of

28


 

environmental inspection. All costs incurred by the Subservicer pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Servicing Advances.
     (e) In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property has a Negative Environmental Condition or is otherwise contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Subservicer (i) shall promptly notify the Servicer and (ii) shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing Advances made by the Subservicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property based on a Valuation obtained by the Subservicer at such time. If, however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure costs and Servicing Advances is less than the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then the Subservicer shall, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and the Subservicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable. In the event the Subservicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Subservicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances and the Subservicer shall have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan under the provisions of this Agreement.
     Section 4.15 Reinstatement of Mortgage Loans.
     If the Mortgagor offers full reinstatement of the Mortgage Loan during the foreclosure process, the Subservicer shall accept the offer. Full reinstatement means: (i) payment of all amounts due in order to bring the Mortgage Loan current, including attorneys’ and trustees’ fees, any additional legal costs and any other expenditures or advances made by the Subservicer during the foreclosure process, and (ii) payments of all other amounts necessary to cure all other defaults under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the payment of real property taxes due and owing. Upon accepting the reinstatement, the Subservicer will contact the attorney or trustee promptly to avoid incurring additional legal costs or fees. The Subservicer will apply the funds upon receipt. If the Mortgage Note and other Mortgage Loan related documents were delivered to the Subservicer by the Servicer or the Custodian in connection with the Mortgagor’s delinquency, the Subservicer will return the Mortgage Note and other Mortgage Loan related documents to the Servicer or the Custodian to be included in the Mortgage Loan Documents upon receipt of the reinstatement funds from the Mortgagor.
     Section 4.16 Servicing REO Property.
     (a) In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure executed prior to the commencement of a foreclosure proceeding, then the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust or an Owner Designee for the benefit of the holders of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-1 certificates. In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or prior to the completion of a foreclosure proceeding commenced by the Subservicer, then the deed shall be issued in the name of the Trust or the Owner Designee for the benefit of the holders of the American General

29


 

Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-1 certificates. The Subservicer shall cooperate with the Trustee or the Owner Designee in connection with the transfer and assignment of title and ownership of REO Properties following foreclosure proceedings or the execution of deeds in lieu of foreclosure and shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
     (b) The Subservicer shall manage, conserve, protect, and operate each REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices subject to the REMIC Provisions, either through itself or through an agent selected by the Subservicer, and in the manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Consistent with the provisions of Exhibit I, if the Subservicer deems it advisable, the Subservicer may, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, order one or more Valuations with respect to the REO Property. The Subservicer shall attempt to sell such REO Property on such terms and conditions as the Subservicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust or the Owner Designee, as applicable. If permitted by the Limited Power of Attorney, the Subservicer shall be authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust or the Owner Designee, as applicable, all deeds, instruments of transfer and other closing documentation necessary and desirable to implement the disposition of REO Property.
     (c) The Subservicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, flood insurance, and all other insurance coverage required under Section 4.9.
     (d) Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Subservicer as provided in Exhibit I. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Subservicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Subservicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Subservicer as provided above, shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days of receipt in the P&I Custodial Account following receipt thereof for distribution on the next Remittance Date.
     (e) The Subservicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Subservicer shall make or cause to be made an electronic report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Subservicer to the Servicer upon request. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Servicer shall reasonably request.
     (f) Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Trust or the Owner Designee, as applicable, or pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Subservicer shall submit to the Servicer or the Owner Designee, as applicable, a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
     (g) Following the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Subservicer shall report such foreclosure or abandonment to the Servicer and as required pursuant to Section 6050J of the Code or any successor provision thereof.

30


 

     (h) In the event that Servicer or Trustee requests the transfer of a serviced REO Property from the Subservicer, all costs incurred by the Subservicer in marketing the subject REO Property (prior to the Servicer’s transfer request) shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance. Additionally, any costs and/or penalties payable by the Subservicer to a third party (to which Subservicer has delegated some or all of its duties with respect to such REO Property pursuant to Section 4.5) then-payable in connection with such REO Property shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.
     (i) The Subservicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the P & I Custodial Account, all revenues received, including revenues from rental of an REO Property and sale proceeds, with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Subservicer.
     (j) In accordance with, and subject to the limitations of Sections 4.5 and 4.16(j), the Subservicer may outsource the management, conservation, protection and operation of REO Property to a third party, which arrangement will result in fees to the Trust, provided that Subservicer shall seek written approval of Servicer of the third party and such fees to be charged. In such event, the Servicer agrees to be responsible for all such fees. Home Select Settlement Solutions, LLC is a third party of which Servicer approves.
     (k) In the event that the Trust acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of the third taxable year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code unless the Subservicer shall have applied for and received an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust may continue to hold such REO Property for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the REMIC created hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Subservicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
     Section 4.17 Satisfactions.
     If permitted by the Limited Power of Attorney, the Subservicer will thereby be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Trust all instruments of satisfaction or of partial or full release and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties. The Subservicer shall take all actions necessary to satisfy mortgages and release their liens in a timely manner. Once the required release or satisfaction documents are executed and recorded, if applicable, and the Mortgage Note is canceled, the Subservicer shall promptly send the canceled documents to the Mortgagor if state

31


 

law requires such action or the Mortgagor specifically requests the return of the documents. In other instances, the Subservicer may either return the documents to the Mortgagor or retain them (as long as they are not destroyed until after the retention period required by applicable law). The Subservicer should also take any other steps required to release the lien and assure that no penalties are incurred because the actions were not performed in a timely manner. The Subservicer may not seek reimbursement from the Servicer, the Trust or the Mortgagor for any penalty fee that the Subservicer has to pay because the Subservicer failed to process any release or satisfaction documents within the required time frame. If the Trustee, the Servicer, or the Custodian fail to do so, the Subservicer may seek reimbursement from the Trust for any penalty that the Subservicer pays because the release or satisfaction was not processed in the required time frame as a result of Trustee’s failure, Servicer’s failure or the Custodian’s failure to act in a timely manner as a Servicing Advance under the terms of this Agreement. The Subservicer shall generally follow the procedures set forth in the Fannie Mae Guidelines regarding satisfactions of mortgages.
     Section 4.18 Servicing Advances and Pass-Through Expenses.
     (a) The Subservicer shall not have any obligation or duty hereunder to: (i) advance any amounts constituting delinquent principal and interest payments or (ii) advance any amounts that would otherwise constitute a Servicing Advance hereunder if the Subservicer reasonably determines that such amount is not likely to be recovered from late payments, insurance proceeds, liquidation proceeds, condemnation proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, including without limitation that any Servicing Advance is subsequently determined to be non-recoverable, the Subservicer shall be entitled to recover any Servicing Advance and any Pass-Through Expenses in accordance with the terms of Section 6.3 and Section 6.4(b)(iii).
     (b) The Subservicer shall provide and maintain appropriate procedures to ensure that each individual Servicing Advance and Pass-Through Expense is accounted for as a single item and amount without any duplication thereof.
     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at the end of any calendar month, the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances (excluding Non-recoverable Servicing advances) exceed the aggregate amount collected by the Subservicer during such calendar month in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Subservicer shall so notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall remit the total amount of such shortfall plus accrued interest at the rate of LIBOR plus four percent (4%) to the Subservicer for each calendar day after the end of the calendar month until the day the payment is made, which shall be within seven (7) days of such notification. If the Servicer fails to pay to the Subservicer the amount of any such shortfall within thirty (30) days of the related notification by the Subservicer to the Servicer of such shortfall, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.1(k).
     (d) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, from the Servicing Transfer Date until the termination of this Agreement, with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced pursuant to this Agreement, Subservicer shall not assume Servicer’s obligations to make Advances. Advances made by Subservicer shall be reimbursed by Servicer.

32


 

     Section 4.19 Prepayment Penalties.
     (a) Upon receipt of a request for a payoff, if the information provided by the Servicer or the prior servicer to the Subservicer indicates that a prepayment penalty is applicable with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall review the Mortgage Note to determine whether a prepayment penalty may be collected from the Mortgagor and shall be obligated to collect such prepayment penalty, if any. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Subservicer shall have no obligation to collect, or make payments to the Servicer with respect to, any prepayment penalties, Late Fees, or other fees or items which are prohibited under applicable law for that Mortgage Loan. In addition, as long permissible under Exhibit I, the Subservicer may also waive, in whole or in part, any such fees mentioned in the preceding sentence if: (i) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Subservicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such fees and the related Mortgage Loan.
     (b) Upon transfer of servicing of a Mortgage Loan to the Subservicer, if the servicing transfer tape or data provided to the Subservicer indicates that such Mortgage Loan has a prepayment penalty, then the Subservicer shall flag its system to indicate that a prepayment penalty is applicable with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
     (c) Except as provided in this Section 4.19 in no event will the Subservicer waive a prepayment penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default without Servicer’s written approval. If the Subservicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a prepayment penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Subservicer, other than as permitted above, the Subservicer shall deposit from its own funds without any right of reimbursement therefore the amount of such prepayment penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) in the P & I Custodial Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     Section 4.20 Restoration and Repair.
     The Subservicer need not obtain the approval of the Servicer prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement. If Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds exceed $10,000, the Subservicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release :

The Subservicer shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the Servicer, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Subservicer, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Subservicer at the Servicer’s expense has been authorized in writing by the Servicer, (ii) the Servicer has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Servicer and the Subservicer, and the Subservicer has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action unless the Subservicer shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). Any failure by the Subservicer to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the Servicer of liability only if such failure is materially prejudicial to the position of the Servicer and then only to the extent of such prejudice.
     Section 8.4 Servicer Limitation on Liability and Indemnification.
     (a) Neither the Servicer, nor any of the directors, members, officers, agents or employees thereof shall be liable to the Subservicer for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment. The Servicer and any director, member, officer, agent, or employee of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, which it reasonably believes has been properly executed and/or submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
     (b) The Subservicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer and its officers, employees, members, directors, Affiliates and representatives (collectively, the “Servicer Indemnified Parties”) against any and all liability, cost and expense incurred by the Servicer, including, without limitation, all losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs and judgments resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion asserted against any Servicer Indemnified Party in connection with (i) the failure of the Subservicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the

45


 

terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by the Subservicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not be required to indemnify any Servicer Indemnified Party against any such liability attributable to the willful misconduct, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of such Servicer Indemnified Party or the failure of such Servicer Indemnified Party to comply with any covenant or obligation applicable to it hereunder (unless such failure to comply is the result of a determination by the Servicer that compliance with such covenant or obligation would not be permissible under applicable law). This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Subservicer of any liability or claim for which the Servicer expects to be indemnified pursuant to this Section.
     (c) The Subservicer shall be entitled to participate in and, upon notice to the Servicer, assume the defense of any action or claim described in Section 8.4(b) in reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable cooperation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the Subservicer, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Servicer, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Servicer at the Subservicer’s expense has been authorized in writing by the Subservicer, (ii) the Subservicer has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Subservicer and the Servicer, and the Servicer has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Subservicer. The Servicer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action unless the Servicer shall have consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). Any failure by the Servicer to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the Subservicer of liability only if such failure is materially prejudicial to the position of the Subservicer and then only to the extent of such prejudice.
     Section 8.5 Notice of Litigation.
     In the event of litigation with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any duty under this Agreement, the party being served shall notify the other party promptly, and, in any case, within ten (10) days of receipt of service. The parties will cooperate in the handling of such litigation.

     The Servicer may waive any default by the Subservicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.

     (a) The Subservicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Servicer’s prior written consent, the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the purchase price paid by the Servicer for the Mortgage Loans, REO Properties and/or rights transferred pursuant to this Agreement and any information pertaining to such Mortgage Loans, REO Properties and/or rights, or any Mortgagor thereunder, except to the extent that it is appropriate for the Subservicer to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities, or other governmental agencies, insurance carriers, any property inspector, or other Person necessary to fulfill the Subservicer’s obligations hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including as specified in Section 10.1(j) with respect to the filing of a Form 8-K, the Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Subservicer’s prior written consent, the terms and provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent that it is appropriate for the Servicer to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities, or other governmental agencies, insurance carriers, any property inspector, or other Person necessary to fulfill the Servicer’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, business methods and practices, internal procedures and other intellectual property and confidential information of the Subservicer or the Servicer, respectively (“Proprietary Information”) shall remain vested in the Subservicer and the Servicer, respectively, and are not hereby transferred to the other party, and the Subservicer and the Servicer shall have the right to take all actions necessary to protect their Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding the above, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of a party) may disclose to any and

49


 

all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
     (b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Subservicer agrees that it shall not refer to or use the Servicer’s name or any derivation or significant portion of such name in any manner in any of its servicing, enforcement or collection activities with respect to any Mortgage Loan or in any advertising, printed material, electronic medium or other medium, without first obtaining the named party’s prior written consent, except to the extent that it is appropriate for the Subservicer to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities, or other governmental agencies, insurance carriers, any property inspector, or other person necessary to fulfill the Subservicer’s obligations hereunder. The Subservicer shall inform its subservicers, contractors, advisors and agents of the restriction stated in this subparagraph (b) and shall take commercially reasonable steps to cause such parties to conduct their activities relating to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in compliance herewith. Except as required hereunder, no such named party shall have any obligation to give any such written consent and may withhold the same in its sole and absolute discretion.
     (c) All information of a non-public nature disclosed by Servicer to Subservicer during the term of this Agreement (“Servicer Proprietary Information”) (1) shall be deemed the property of Servicer, (2) shall be used solely for the purposes of administering and otherwise implementing the terms of this Agreement, and (3) shall be protected by Subservicer in accordance with the terms of this Article X. Servicer’s Proprietary Information shall also include all “non-public personal information” as defined in Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S. C. Section 6801, et seq.) and the implementing regulations thereunder (collectively, the “GLB Act”), as the same may be amended from time to time, that Subservicer received from or at the direction of Servicer and that concerns any of Servicer’s “customers” and/or “consumers” (as defined in the GLB Act). Subservicer acknowledges that any Servicer Proprietary Information being stored or processed by Subservicer is and shall remain the sole property of Servicer and will take all such reasonable measures as may be necessary to protect the confidentiality of Servicer Proprietary Information which comes into Subservicer’ possession, if any. Subservicer further agrees to observe complete confidentiality regarding all aspects of Servicer Proprietary Information, including without limitation agreeing not to disclose or otherwise permit any other person or entity access to, in any manner, Servicer Proprietary Information or any part thereof without Servicer’s prior written consent, except that such disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee of Subservicer requiring such access in the course of employment or a subcontractor of Subservicer. Subservicer shall not disclose or use Servicer Proprietary Information for any purposes other than to carry out the purposes for which Servicer disclosed the data to Subservicer, or as permitted by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer consents to the use by Subservicer of statistical data generated by Servicer Proprietary Information provided that such use shall not result in the disclosure of Servicer Proprietary Information which will directly or indirectly identify Servicer or any specific individual. At the request of Servicer, and upon payment to Subservicer of all undisputed monies due under the terms of this Agreement, Subservicer shall transfer any Servicer Proprietary Information held by Subservicer to Servicer. Upon termination of this Agreement, Subservicer’s rights to use or access Servicer Proprietary Information shall end immediately. In the event that Subservicer does not immediately return such Servicer

50


 

Proprietary Information to Servicer, Subservicer agrees it will not access or use such Servicer Proprietary Information in any manner and shall maintain such Servicer Proprietary Information in a secure manner until its return to Servicer. In the event that Servicer desires for Subservicer to perform year-end IRS reporting or other services following deconversion from Subservicer’s system, Servicer shall provide a written request for such services prior to the last week of deconversion activities. In such case, Servicer acknowledges that Subservicer will retain a set of Servicer’s Proprietary Information in order to perform such services. To the extent that Servicer desires that Subservicer not retain Servicer’s Proprietary Information in its secured, archived environment in accordance with its data retention policies, upon 1) written notice and instruction by Servicer, 2) Subservicer’s receipt of all monies owed by Servicer to Subservicer, and 3) Servicer’s return of all Subservicer Proprietary Information to Subservicer, Subservicer shall destroy Servicer’s Proprietary Information. Subservicer shall provide written certification of destruction within thirty (30) days following completion of such destruction. Servicer shall be responsible for any regulatory or other concerns regarding retention of Servicer Proprietary Information.
     (d) Subservicer presently maintains and will continue to maintain information security programs and measures designed to safeguard the security and confidentiality of Servicer Proprietary Information. Such security programs and measures are and will be designed to identify and protect against reasonably foreseeable risks to (1) the security and confidentiality of Servicer Proprietary Information, (2) the integrity of such information, and (3) unauthorized access to or use of such information that might result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer or consumer of Servicer. Subservicer agrees to (1) periodically test the efficacy and appropriateness of such information security programs and (2) take reasonable measures to be able to detect and respond to security breaches, including widely known potential security failures that have been experienced by its vendors or others in the industry.
     (e) Subservicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to such additional security measures with respect to Servicer’s Proprietary Information as may be reasonably imposed by Servicer.
     (f) Subservicer also agrees to notify Servicer, immediately following discovery, if any Servicer Proprietary Information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person. Notification required by this section may be delayed if a law enforcement agency determines that the notification of Servicer will impede a criminal investigation. In such case, Subservicer shall notify Servicer immediately after Subservicer has been notified that the law enforcement agency determines that it will not compromise the investigation. In the event of any such breach of security or unauthorized access, Subservicer agrees to use highest commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Servicer to minimize the consequences of such security breach for Servicer’s customers, and to provide all necessary information reasonably requested by Servicer’s state and federal regulators.
     (g) Subservicer agrees to comply with any further notification requirements imposed from time to time by state and federal regulators with jurisdiction over the use of, and/or security relating to Servicer’s Proprietary Information. Subject to the limitations of liability set forth in any other part of this Agreement, Subservicer expressly agrees that it will be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses related to (i) an investigation and resolution of

51


 

unauthorized access to Servicer Proprietary Information while in Subservicer’s possession and (ii) notification of Servicer’s customers affected by unauthorized access to such Servicer Proprietary Information, in the event such notification is required by state or federal law or by Servicer’s state and federal regulators.
     (h) Subservicer agrees to annually provide Servicer with a written report assessing its vulnerability or potential vulnerability to security breaches, loss of data integrity, and threats to confidentiality.
     (i) Subservicer may disclose Servicer Proprietary Information to third parties only after providing Servicer with reasonable prior written notice (unless such notice is prohibited by law):
(a) to comply with a properly authorized civil, criminal, or regulatory investigation, subpoena or summons by Federal, State or local authorities; or
(b) to respond to judicial process or government regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over it for examination, compliance or other purposes.
     Upon receipt of such notice, Servicer may seek an appropriate protective order. Subservicer shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Servicer, at Servicer’s sole cost, to pursue an appropriate protective order. It is further agreed that, if, in the absence of a protective order, Subservicer is legally compelled to disclose Servicer Proprietary Information, Subservicer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to disclose only such portions of Servicer Proprietary Information that are legally required to be disclosed. Except as set forth in this Section 10.1, Subservicer may disclose Servicer Proprietary Information to third parties for any other purpose permitted by law, only after receiving prior written consent from Servicer.
     (j) The parties acknowledge that this Agreement contains confidential information that may be considered proprietary by one or both of the parties, and agree to limit distribution of this Agreement to those individuals with a need to know the contents of this Agreement. In no event may this Agreement be reproduced or copies shown to any third parties (exclusive of contractors, subcontractors and agents who have a need for it) without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be necessary by reason of legal, accounting, tax or regulatory requirements, in which event Servicer and Subservicer agree to exercise reasonable diligence in limiting such disclosure to the minimum necessary under the particular circumstances. The parties further agree to seek commercial confidential status for this Agreement with any regulatory commission with which this Agreement must be filed, to the extent such a designation can be secured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer and its affiliates are allowed to disclose the Agreement as necessary to comply with any subpoena, order, regulation, ruling or request of any judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee or any self-regulatory body (including any securities body), including the filing of a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (with a copy of the Agreement) if they believe (in their sole discretion) that such a filing is necessary or appropriate; provided, however, in connection with any such filing the Servicer and its affiliates

52


 

shall request confidential treatment with respect to the pricing information set forth in Exhibit D of this Agreement.
     (k) In addition, each party agrees to give notice to the other party of any demands to disclose or provide the Proprietary Information received from the other or any third party under lawful process prior to disclosing or furnishing Proprietary Information, and agrees to cooperate in seeking reasonable protective arrangements requested by the other party.

EXHIBIT H
SECURITY ASSESSMENT

 


 

     EXHIBIT H — Security Assessment — Nationstar
The AGFS Security Office has completed a review of Nationstar Security Assessment Questionnaire responses and conducted an onsite assessment for physical and information security on December 8, 2010. Based on the observations from the review, the Security Office has concluded that the following actions are required within the next 12 months.
                 
Number   Control Category   Issue Description   Remediation Required   Date Remediated
1   Access Controls   a) Sufficient controls are not currently in place to ensure that access to premises and systems by terminated employees is revoked in a timely fashion. The following action items must be completed.   a) Implement controls to integrate the termination process across HR, management, and IT / Security to provide timely removal of physical and logical user access rights for all terminated employees. Termination processing should be weekly at a minimum. Application and system access should be recertified by management on an annual basis at minimum.    
 
               
        b) Contractors are currently not reviewed for access termination   b) Implement a formal review / recertification process for contractors. Review and renewal of access rights should be performed by management on a quarterly interval at minimum.    
 
               
2   Access Controls   Personally identifiable information (PII) is not comprehensively scrubbed in test / development environments.   All sensitive data in test / development should be scrubbed.    
 
               
3   Access Controls   Currently, Nationstar technical staff have open access to production data   Access to production data by technical support staff should only be granted upon appropriate management approval, limited in scope to the specified purpose, and revoked when no longer justified. Access to production data should be reviewed and recertified quarterly.    
 
               
4   Access Controls   All developers have read / update access to all source code.   Access to source code for each application should be restricted to only those employees assigned to an application. A formal process for approvals and promotion of changes from development to separate and controlled QA and production environments should be implemented.    

 


 

                 
Number   Control Category   Issue Description   Remediation Required   Date Remediated
5   Network Security
Controls
  The Nationstar network is protected by a single Nokia Checkpoint firewall and configured with 2 zones, core and external DMZ. A project is in place to create an additional DMZ zone to house the ecommerce application servers. The plan is to utilize the existing firewall for the new zone in addition to the current zone in place. Completion is scheduled for end of January 2011. While this offers greater protection and controls than currently in place, a vulnerability exploit in the Nokia Checkpoint would expose Nationstar to data compromise within both DMZ’s and the core.   A second firewall from another vendor should be implemented to strengthen protection of sensitive data.    
 
               
6   Network Security
Controls
  Remote access by employees is allowed through the Nationstar VPN from non-company owned devices with no checks for patch levels, virus scanning, or firewall. Dual factor authentication is not deployed.   Deploy dual factor authentication for remote users. Implement remote device scanning and block utilization of devices that do not meet minimum security requirements for antivirus, firewall, and operating system patch levels.    
 
               
7   Policy/Governance   Application updates for Remedy are currently released on an ad hoc basis as updates become available. Consistent change management controls are not in place for all applications.   Change management processes for all applications need to be formalized to scheduled, controlled release cycles and incorporate a formal QA process.    
 
               
8   Policy/Governance   Use of USB devices for removable media is permitted by exception approval only. Although a corporate, encrypted thumb drive is issued, there is no facility to prevent approved employees from using their own non-company devices.   Policy should be clearly defined and protection should be deployed to limit USB devices to company-issued only.    
 
               
9   Policy/Governance   No retention policy for personally identifiable information (PII) or business confidential data is currently defined and documented.   A policy governing retention guidelines should be created and enforced.    
 
               
10   Policy/Governance   Passwords are not allowed to repeat within the last 5 passwords used.   Increase the threshold on re-use of passwords to prevent repeating within the last 12 passwords used.    

 


 

                 
Number   Control Category   Issue Description   Remediation Required   Date Remediated
11   Policy/Governance   Data owners are not currently identified to approve creation, access rights, or classification of data groups. No formal process exists for classification of data, structured or un-structured. Policies and procedures are defined but execution is ad hoc.   Ownership of data groups should be documented and a formal process established to classify company and customer confidential (sensitive) data. Formal processes for new data group creation, annual review, and recertification of access to sensitive data should be implemented.    
 
               
12   Disaster
Recovery/Business
Continuity
  BIA’s have not been completed with the business areas. Business Continuity is not currently integrated into the disaster recovery testing process to ensure that all business critical applications and resources are included and successfully tested on an annual basis.   Complete BIA’s for all critical business areas. Document business continuity plans for each business area and ensure that all critical personnel and applications are included in annual testing. Table-top exercises should be completed fro each business area in scope.    
 
               
13   Disaster
Recovery/Business
Continuity
  The disaster recovery site is located within 21 miles from the Nationstar data center.   An alternate location within a different region of the US should be established to decrease the probability of losing both primary and secondary locations during a catastrophic event.    
 
               
14   External
Audit/Certification
  A SAS 70 audit or equivalent has not been performed for Nationstar.   A SAS 70 audit or equivalent should be performed to assess overall Nationstar security posture.
