documents pertaining to the servicing, collection, and enforcement of any
rights or duties which LENDER may have under the note and deed of trust

by the LENDER.
3. Provide certain notices as required by law, including

1. Incur any costs or expenses that LENDER is or may become
liable to pay.
2. Allow loan assumptions, retain attorneys, commence
and defend litigation, initiate foreclosure
proceedings, make claims on applicable insurance policies,
or appoint and discharge agents.
SPECIFICALLY, the note is to be serviced by AGENT in accordance
with the following terms and conditions:
AGENT is hereby granted the power and authority by the
undersigned LENDER to: exercise, do, or perform any act, right, power,
duty, or obligations whatsoever that I/we now have or may acquire the right,
power or capacity to exercise, do, or perform in connection with, arising
out of or relating to that particular note secured by deed of trust as
described above.
Specifically, AGENT is authorized to collect, receive,
hold, and deposit funds received from the borrower on this account.
AGENT is authorized to apply their utmost efforts to collect all payments
when due and to distribute payments to an address supplied by LENDER.
Payments received on behalf of the LENDER will be immediately deposited
into a trust account in accordance with the provisions of law and rule
for trust accounts of licensed Real Estate Brokers, {Corporation Commissioner's
Ruling #260.105.30(j)(2)} and will be forwarded to LENDER not later than
twenty five (25) business days from the date received.
AGENT is to deduct from the proceeds received from the
borrower, a service fee of $_________ per annum (payable monthly).
AGENT is further entitled to all late charges that are due and collected
and LENDER is entitled to all prepayment penalties that may be collected.
Furthermore, AGENT is specifically authorized to sign,
endorse, execute, acknowledge, deliver, receive, possess, and record such
applications, contracts, checks, agreements, loan documents, loan assumption
documents, options, covenants, conveyances, insurance policies, receipts,
demands for payoff, beneficiary's statements, foreclosure documents and
such other instruments in writing of whatever kind and nature as may be
necessary or proper to the exercise of the rights and powers granted herein.
A copy of any demand to be submitted to any escrow in
which a payoff of the loan described herein is anticipated shall first
be submitted to LENDER for approval. LENDER shall read and approve
said copy and return it to AGENT prior to said original demand being released
to the escrow. LENDER acknowledges that requests for demand for payoff
must be provided to escrow within 21 days from request and hereby agrees
to promptly return said read and approved copy to AGENT. A copy of
this service agreement (being a photocopy of the signature(s) of the undersigned)
may be submitted to any such escrow and may be construed to be my/our approval
and authorization to escrow that the proceeds from the payoff of the subject
loan are to be made payable to AGENT and no additional instructions will
be required from LENDER.
If the source of any payment received by AGENT is known
by AGENT to be another other than the maker of the note, AGENT will inform
the LENDER of such payment. Such notification may be in the form
of a notation on the LENDER'S disbursement check.
AGENT is instructed to track appropriate fire, hazard,
and other applicable insurance coverage as may be required by LENDER and
to inform LENDER of the lack of any such coverage. AGENT shall accept
the written instruction from LENDER regarding replacement coverage and/or
payment of the necessary premiums to keep existing coverage in full force
and effect. AGENT shall further exercise their utmost efforts to
obtain the borrower's compliance with LENDER'S insurance requirements.
AGENT is instructed to request Notice of Default of prior
encumbrances pursuant to Section 2924 (b) of the Civil Code. AGENT
shall notify LENDER of any such default and accept written authorization
and instruction from LENDER for curing any such default.
If an interest in the note is issued in accordance
with the Commissioner of Corporations Rule 260.105.30, the LENDER agrees
that the holder of fifty percent (50%) or more beneficial interest in the
note may determine and direct the actions to be taken on the direction
or approval of the holders. Furthermore, if this loan is a fractionalized
note, the LENDERS shall appoint a spokesperson to coordinate collection
and enforcement of the note with AGENT. AGENT shall not perform any

instructions from all remaining LENDERS on the note: approve loan assumptions;
appoint or discharge agents; retain attorneys; claim, collect, hold, or
pay proceeds of any applicable insurance policies; commence or defend litigation;
or initiate foreclosure proceedings.
LENDER understands and acknowledges that from time to
time it may be necessary in the event of a default by the borrower under
the note to advance costs and expenses necessary to protect the security
interest of LENDER. Examples of such advances include fire insurance
premiums, interest and principal payments on senior encumbrances, property
taxes, and attorney fees. Other advances than those listed above
may also become necessary depending upon the circumstances surrounding
the default of the borrower. AGENT shall inform LENDER within five
(5) days of receipt of notification that such an advance will be required.
Said notice shall be in writing and shall include the purpose and nature
of the required advance, the amount of such advance, the name of the person
or entity to whom payment is to be made, and when payment is required.
LENDER shall accrue interest on any advances necessary to protect the security
of their investment at the then legal interest rate or as called for in
the promissory note. LENDER shall be responsible for the maintenance
of records pertaining to the advances made and the date of said advances;
and, for notifying AGENT that advances have been made, and instructing
AGENT to collect those advances including interest thereon.
If this loan is a fractionalized loan, each LENDER hereunder
agrees to pay in a timely manner their proportionate share of any advances
or expenses that may be required. Furthermore, the appointed spokesperson
or other LENDER as so appointed by the majority of the LENDERS, shall coordinate
with all of the LENDERS for timely payment of the necessary advances and
expenses. AGENT may later agree to coordinate this effort upon the
written consent and direction from all LENDERS hereto, if it becomes necessary,
for an additional fee of 5% of the principal amount of any such advances.
AGENT shall in no way be responsible for the payment
of any advances necessary to protect the security of the note and perform
the loan services, including but not limited to: payment of taxes, debt
service on an obligation, insurance premiums, attorney fees, and costs
of foreclosure.
AGENT may act as agent for other Trust Deeds on the same
property.
LENDER shall hold harmless AGENT from any and all loss
and expenses including attorney fees and court costs sustained by reason
of any action, legal or otherwise, which may in anyway arise as a result
of this transaction. Should any litigation be commenced between the
parties to this Service Agreement concerning making, performance, interpretation
or the rights and duties of either party in relation thereto, the party,
Lender or Agent, prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition
to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum as and for
their attorney fees in such litigation which shall be determined by the
court in such litigation or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

or relating to this Service Agreement, or the making, performance or interpretation
of it, shall be settled by binding arbitration in the County of Santa Cruz
under commercial arbitration rules in accordance with Part III, Title 9
of the California Code of Civil Procedure then existing, and judgment on
the arbitration award shall be entered in any court having jurisdiction
over the subject matter of the controversy. Arbitrators shall be
persons experienced in lender servicing agreements as agreed by the parties
thereto and if the parties are unable to agree as appointed by the Presiding

the note or contract against loss at any time; guarantee that payments
of principal and/or interest will be paid in conformity with the terms
of the note or contract; assume any payments necessary to protect the security
of the note or contract; pay with AGENT'S own funds any interest or premium
