3.2     Accounts Receivable.  Within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser receives documentation which is reasonably satisfactory to it as to Accounts Receivable on the Mortgage Loans transferred to Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay such documented amount to Seller.  Accounts Receivable which are not considered by Purchaser to be recoverable (by way of example, Accounts Receivable considered to be unrecoverable shall include property inspections, default related advances on Mortgage Loans Ninety (90) Days Delinquent or less, advances on Mortgage Loans past Foreclosure sale, advances without proper supporting documentation or any advance  not in accordance with Investor Guidelines), will be reimbursed on a monthly basis only if and when recovered by Purchaser and shall be pursued by Purchaser with the same diligence and standard of care that it would use if it were pursuing for its own account.

8

4.      COVENANTS OF PURCHASER.  Purchaser covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:

(a)      Performance of Obligations.  Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, pay, perform and discharge or cause to be paid, performed, and discharged all of the obligations relating to the Servicing and Related Escrow Accounts assigned to Purchaser from and after the Sale and Transfer Date.

(b)     Non Solicitation.  Purchaser acknowledges that (i) certain of the Mortgage Loans identified on Appendix V hereto (the "Restricted Mortgage Loans") are subject to a separate agreement by and between Seller and ICBA Mortgage Corporation ("ICBA") and (ii) as a condition to Seller obtaining the consent of ICBA to the sale contemplated under this Agreement, Purchaser or any of its affiliates, except as set forth below, shall not (a) transfer or sell the Servicing of the Restricted Mortgage Loans unless required by law, or an order, decree, ruling, directive or instruction of any governmental, regulatory, accounting, tax or licensing agency, body or authority or without the consent of ICBA which shall not be unreasonably withheld , (b) solicit Mortgagors of Restricted Mortgage Loans for any purposes, including, but not limited to, for financial services, insurance coverage or prepayment of Restricted Mortgage Loans, on a targeted basis.  Without the prior written consent of ICBA, Purchaser shall not sell or distribute any customer list incorporating the names of Mortgagors of Restricted Mortgage Loans and shall not itself use any such list to solicit or promote, or to allow any other person on behalf of Purchaser to solicit or promote, the sale of any services or products to any such Mortgagor. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: (i) any advertising or marketing campaign by or on behalf of the Purchaser offering financial services, including mortgages or insurance-related products and services, directed to its own customer base or the general public or any segment thereof provided such segment does not target the Mortgagors of Restricted Mortgage Loans; (ii) a solicitation for financial services to any such Mortgagor with whom Purchaser has a customer relationship unrelated to the Restricted Mortgage Loan; provided that such solicitation is part of a solicitation program not directed primarily to such Mortgagors; (iii) any activities directly related to the servicing of the Restricted Mortgage Loans, including ACH and other electronic payment services for the payment of the Restricted Mortgage Loans; and (iv) responding to an inquiry from any such Mortgagor relating to a refinance or a request for information pertaining to a mortgage loan product.

5.      COVENANTS OF SELLER.  Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser as follows:

(a)      Remaining Obligations.  Seller shall pay, perform or discharge all of its liabilities and obligations accruing before the Sale and Transfer Date relating to the Servicing, the Related Escrow Accounts and the Mortgage Loans, to the extent the same are unpaid or unfulfilled on the Sale and Transfer Date and except as expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)     Servicing Income.  All monies received by Seller after the Sale and Transfer Date relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Accounts Receivable shall be promptly turned over to Purchaser and all servicing fees and Ancillary Income accruing after the Sale and Transfer Date with respect to the Servicing shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser.

(c)      Correction of Material Errors.  Seller shall, at the request of Purchaser, make a good faith effort and diligently pursue the correction of any material errors or deficiencies in any of the Mortgage Loans or related loan documentation, which errors or deficiencies existed as of the Sale and Transfer Date.  For purposes of this provision, "material" shall refer to errors or deficiencies which are required to be corrected by the Investors.  Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with Seller in connection with any such effort.

(d)     Assignment and Transfer.  Unless previously recorded in the Investor's name or MERS, as evidenced of record in the Mortgage File, Seller shall, at its expense, cause to be prepared, executed, and, where applicable, record all documents necessary to legally transfer and assign all right, title and interest in and to the Servicing of the Mortgage Loans from Seller to MERS including, without limitation, the Mortgage Note endorsements and the Recorded Assignments.  Seller shall provide a special purpose resolution authorizing those officers of Purchaser to sign such documents on Seller's behalf.  Seller shall be responsible for obtaining and shall pay the cost of securing the approval of the Investors, including payment of any investor fees, sub-servicer fees or transfer fees due.  In addition, Seller shall pay any costs related to (i) obtaining the release of the Mortgage Loan Documents from the Seller's custodian of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the cost of shipping the Mortgage File and related Mortgage Loan documentation to Purchaser or a custodian designated by Purchaser, and (iii) obtaining and delivering complete master file tape information and any other electronically stored information.

(e)      Tax Payments.  Provided the tax bill has been released by the taxing authority prior to the Sale and Transfer Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser any penalty charges or the amount of any discounts lost as a result of a failure to pay tax bills which are due and payable on or before the Sale and Transfer Date or thirty (30) days subsequent thereto, which are subsequently incurred by Purchaser.

(f)      Defects. If any Mortgage Loan, including the Related Escrow Account for such Mortgage Loan, is found defective or deficient in accordance with Investor Guidelines or such defect or deficiency limits the Purchaser's ability to properly service the Mortgage Loan, other than a servicing error by Purchaser after the Sale and Transfer Date, Seller shall upon written notification by Purchaser (i) correct or cure the defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and/or Investor within thirty (30) days or such time period allowed by the Investors, or if such defect cannot be cured within such time period, and (ii) hold harmless and indemnify Purchaser from any and all claims, demands, liabilities or actual out-of-pocket losses incidental thereto including reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

10




(g)     Casualty Loss.  Seller shall be liable for any actual out-of-pocket loss incurred by Purchaser as the result of a casualty loss to any property subject to a Mortgage Loan where the loss occurs either prior to or on the Sale and Transfer Date for such Mortgage Loan, if such loss is the direct result of the expiration of any such insurance policies prior to the Sale and Transfer Date or is due to the insufficiency (in accordance with Investor Guidelines) of any such insurance coverage.  Further, if any insurance coverage is insufficient in accordance with Investor Guidelines, Seller warrants to Purchaser that the costs incurred for providing such insurance are secured by the Mortgage Loan and payable by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan.  In the event there is no evidence of insurance coverage on any Mortgage Loan as of the Sale and Transfer Date for such Mortgage Loan, Seller shall provide such evidence within five (5) days of written request by Purchaser or shall be responsible for the cost of Purchaser's obtaining the necessary insurance coverage to the extent such costs are not otherwise due, collectible, and payable by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan.

(h)     No Solicitation or Refinancing. After the Sale and Transfer Date, neither Seller nor any Affiliate, parent, subsidiary, sub-servicer, or agent of Seller (the "Related Parties") shall, during the remaining term of any of the Mortgage Loans, (a) use information derived from the origination, sale, or servicing of the Mortgage Loans to refinance any Mortgage Loan, or (b) solicit in any manner any of the Mortgagors of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of refinancing or the sale of any other products.  For purposes of this subparagraph, advertising directed to (i) the general public, and (ii) mailings to parties whose names were obtained through commercially available mailing lists shall not be deemed to be a prohibited solicitation.  Seller shall not direct any promotion or creations of a mass mailing list nor shall Seller use a mass mailing list prepared where such mailing list is structured to target Mortgagors of the Mortgage Loans.

In the event Seller or the Related Parties violate the above covenant, Seller shall, upon demand by Purchaser, pay to Purchaser a sum equal to the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for the Servicing of each Mortgage Loan which Seller or Related Parties has refinanced for a period of time three (3) months before the violation and three (3) months after the violation.  Provided that such violation is within three (3) months of the Sale and Transfer Date, Purchaser shall receive a full six (6) months protection from the Seller as to any violation.

(i)      Investor Reports/Remittances.  Seller has filed, on a timely basis, all reports and remittances required by Investor Guidelines.  As of the Sale and Transfer Date, Seller will be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and municipal laws, regulations and ordinances affecting the Servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Seller shall report the interest payments of the Mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans and other related payments and disbursements made during the period prior to the Sale and Transfer Date, during which period Seller serviced or sub-serviced the Mortgage Loans.  Seller shall be responsible for providing Purchaser with accurate Tax Identification Numbers on all of the Mortgagors of the Mortgage Loans.

(j)      Damage; Condemnation.  There exists no physical damage to the mortgaged property from fire, flood, windstorm, earthquake, tornado, hurricane or any other similar casualty, which physical damage would cause any Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect the value or marketability of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicing or the mortgaged property or the eligibility of the Mortgage Loan for insurance benefits, or the amount of insurance benefits, by any Insurer.  To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of, or eminent domain with respect to, the mortgaged property.

(k)      Pools.  All pools relating to the Mortgage Loans have been initially certified, finally certified and/or re-certified in accordance with Applicable Requirements and Investor Guidelines.  All Pools relating to the Mortgage Loans shall be, when transferred to Purchaser, eligible for recertification by Purchaser's custodian, and Seller will be responsible for curing any deficiencies, unless caused by Purchaser, that must be cured in order for Purchaser to obtain such recertification.  The principal balance outstanding and owing on the Mortgage Loans in each pool equals or exceeds the amount owing to the corresponding security holder of such pool.

16




(n)     Origination, Sale and Collection Practices.  The origination, sale and collection practices used by Seller or any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending business and consistent with Applicable Requirements.  With respect to escrow deposits and payments in those instances where such were required, there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments or other charges or prepayments due to the Mortgagor have been capitalized under any Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgage Note.

13.11    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights, obligations, remedies or liabilities.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from selling the Servicing to a third party subsequent to the Sale and Transfer Date.

13.12    Headings.  Headings of the paragraphs in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed to have any substantive effect.

13.13    Applicable Laws.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

13.14    Transfer Instructions.  Seller agrees to abide by all the terms and conditions of Purchaser's Transfer Instructions attached on Appendix IV and made a part hereof.  If Purchaser finds that Seller has not followed the Transfer Instructions after the Servicing has been transferred to Purchaser, Seller agrees to reimburse Purchaser for any and all reasonable costs incurred by Purchaser to comply with the Transfer Instructions.

13.15    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

13.16    Written Agreement.  This Agreement, the Appendices attached hereto and applicable Investor Guidelines constitute the "written agreement" governing Seller's sale of Servicing to Purchaser and Seller shall continuously maintain all components of such "written agreement" as an official record of Seller.  If any of the Appendices are on magnetic media format, Seller agrees that either the magnetic media version or a physical, printed version that may be hereafter produced constitute a part of the "written agreement", which Seller shall continuously maintain as provided above.

13.19    Dispute Resolution. Each party covenants and agrees that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, will be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").

In the event of any dispute or claim of any kind or nature, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party all fees and costs associated with any arbitration, together with all of its reasonable costs, fees, and expenses, including, but not limited to, witness fees, expert fees, consultant fees, attorney (in-house and outside counsel), paralegal and legal assistant fees, costs, and expenses and other professional fees, costs, and expenses whether suit be brought or not, and whether at trial or on appeal, arising from or relating to:

(a)      Any arbitration proceedings, in which event the arbitrators shall have the power to enter such an award; and/or

(b)     Any court, or other judicial or administrative proceedings (including, without limitation, proceedings in bankruptcy, proceedings to enforce this subparagraph 13.19, and proceedings in the nature of an appeal), in which event the court or governing body having jurisdiction thereover shall have the power to enter such an award.

Arbitration pursuant to this subparagraph 13.19 may be initiated by either party to this Agreement by making a written demand for arbitration and giving written notice to the other party of such demand for arbitration, which written notice shall specify the provisions of this Agreement alleged to be in dispute or in breach.  The dispute shall be submitted to three arbitrators chosen from a list provided by the AAA, one arbitrator being selected by Seller, one arbitrator being selected by Purchaser, and within ten (10) days after the selection of the

25




second arbitrator, the two selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator.  No individual who is, or has at any time been, an officer, employee, representative, attorney or consultant of Seller or Purchaser or any Affiliate of either may serve as an arbitrator without the express written consent of Seller and Purchaser.  All arbitration hearings and proceedings shall be held in Jacksonville, Florida.  Each of the parties shall submit to discovery and produce documents reasonably required by the arbitrators during arbitration and in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.  Judgment of the arbitrators shall be final and binding, and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.  During the pendency of any arbitration proceeding, either party may retain any payments that may relate to the matter in dispute provided that such amounts do not exceed the amount subject to dispute.
