From and after the related Closing Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer 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 Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent and the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. With respect to a Reconstitution Agreement, in the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 3.04, A-6 the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage loan, the Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC created under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Owner's reliance on the Servicer. Unless written consultation and approval by the Owner, is required pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Servicer may, without such consultation and approval, take actions relative to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans that are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. 19. The parties hereto acknowledge that references to the "Owner" in the second and third paragraphs of Section 3.02 shall refer to the Master Servicer, except that the expense of any environmental inspection or review at the request of the Master Servicer shall be an expense of the Trust Fund. 20. The parties hereto acknowledge that the (i) reference to "[Servicer]" in the fourth line of the first paragraph of Section 3.04 shall be to "Washington Mutual Bank, FA," (ii) reference to"[Owner]" in the fourth line of the first paragraph of Section 3.04 shall be to the "SASCO 2002-10H Trust Fund", (iii) the third sentence of the first paragraph of Section 3.04 shall be deleted in its entirety and (iv) reference to "Cut-off Date" in the second paragraph of Section 3.04 shall mean "May 1, 2002." A-7 21. Section 3.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) is hereby amended by (i) changing the words "Washington Mutual Bank, FA in trust for Centre Capital Group, Inc., owner of Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors" appearing in the fourth, fifth and sixth lines of the first paragraph thereof to "Washington Mutual Bank, FA in trust for the SASCO 2002-10H Trust Fund," and (ii) deleting the following words from the end of the second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 3.06: "in a manner that shall provide maximum available insurance hereunder." 22. Section 3.10 is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the proviso to the first sentence of the third paragraph of Section 3.10. 23. Section 3.18 (Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property) is hereby amended by (i) replacing the reference to "one year" in the seventh line of the second paragraph thereof with "three years" and (ii) adding two new paragraphs after the second paragraph thereof to read as follows: In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has received such an extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund 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 any Trust REMIC to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. A-8 (iii) deleting the first sentence of the third paragraph thereof, and (iv) replacing the words "one and a half" and "sentence" with "three" and "paragraph", respectively, in the sixth and seventh lines of the third paragraph thereto; and, (v) by adding the following to the end of such Section: Prior to acceptance by the Servicer of an offer to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such offer in writing which notification shall set forth all material terms of said offer (each a "Notice of Sale"). The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless the Master Servicer notifies the Servicer in writing, within five (5) days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall not proceed with such sale. 24. Section 4.02 (Statements to Owner) is hereby amended by (i) renaming the section "Statements to Master Servicer," (ii) adding the words "or, if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day" after the words "tenth calendar day of each month", (iii) changing the words "preceding Determination Date" to the words "last calendar day of the preceding month" and (iv) adding the following paragraph (d) to such Section to read as follows: (d) The Monthly Remittance Advice shall also include on a current and cumulative basis the amount of any (i) claims filed, (ii) claim payments made, (iii) claims denied and (iv) policies cancelled with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans covered by any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. 25. Section 4.03 (Monthly Advances by Servicer) is hereby amended by adding the following new sentence immediately following the first sentence of such section: Any amounts held for future distribution and so used to make Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Trust Fund required to be made on such Remittance Date. 26. Section 5.01 (Servicing Compensation) is hereby amended by adding the following sentences at the end of such Section: The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein. A-9 27. Section 5.06 (Annual Independent Public Accountants Servicing Report) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: Section 5.06 Annual Audit Report. ------------------- On or before July 31 of each year, beginning with July 31, 2002, Servicer shall, at its own expense, cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to Servicer), which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to the Seller and Master Servicer a statement to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records for the preceding fiscal year (or during the period from the date of commencement of such Servicer's duties hereunder until the end of such preceding fiscal year in the case of the first such certificate) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that Servicer's overall servicing operations have been conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers except for such exceptions that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report, in which case such exceptions shall be set forth in such statement. 28. A new Section 5.07 is hereby added to the Master Servicing Agreement to read as follows: Section 5.07 Annual Officer's Certificate. ---------------------------- On or before July 31st of each year, beginning with July 31, 2002, the Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Bank and the Master Servicer a Servicing Officer's certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding fiscal year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default. 29. The first and second lines of Section 6.01(a) is hereby restated to read a follows: The Servicer is a federally chartered savings association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under applicable law and has all licenses 30. The second, third and fourth paragraphs of Section 6.02 (Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer) are hereby restated to read as follows: Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 6.01 which materially and adversely affects the ability of the Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall use A-10 its best efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Servicer shall, at the Trustee's option, assign the Servicer's rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee with the prior consent and approval of the Master Servicer. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with Section 10.01. In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify (from its own funds) the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer and hold each of them harmless against any costs resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a Breach of the Servicer's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this Section 6.02 constitute the sole remedies of the Master Servicer, the Trust Fund and the Trustee respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Any cause of action against the Servicer relating to or arising out of the Breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 6.01 shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Servicer or notice thereof by the Trustee or Master Servicer to the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Servicer to cure such breach within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Servicer by the Trustee or the Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement. 31. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 6.03 (Representations and Warranties of the Owner), Section 6.04 (Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties of Owner) Section 7.01 (Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion Under the Agreement Upon a Pass-Through Transfer or a Whole Loan Transfer on One or More Reconstituted Dates) and Section 7.02 (Owner's Repurchase and Indemnification Obligations) are inapplicable to this Agreement. 32. Section 7.03 (Indemnification; Third Party Claims) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the Master Servicer and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such parties may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer immediately shall notify the Bank, the Master Servicer and the Trustee or any other relevant party if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Servicer A-11 shall follow any written instructions received from the Trustee in connection with such claim. The Trustee from the assets of the Trust Fund promptly shall reimburse the Servicer for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Servicer's indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Trust Fund shall indemnify the Servicer and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Servicer may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Trustee or the Master Servicer to perform its duties in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event a dispute arises between an indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to any of the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement and such dispute is adjudicated in a court of law, by an arbitration panel or any other judicial process, then the losing party shall indemnify and reimburse the winning party for all attorney's fees and other costs and expenses related to the adjudication of said dispute. 33. Section 8.02 is hereby amended (i) by replacing the word "Owner" with the words "Master Servicer, Trust Fund or Trustee", (ii) by changing the word "Owner" to "Trustee" where it appears in the proviso to the third sentence thereof and (iii) by changing the word "Owner" to "Trust Fund" in the fourth sentence of such Section. 34. The first paragraph of Section 8.03 (Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Except as permitted in Section 8.01, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of such parties, provided, however, that the Servicer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the Trustee and the Master Servicer to any entity that is directly owned or controlled by the Servicer, and the Servicer guarantees the performance of such entity hereunder. In the event of such assignment by the Servicer, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Master Servicer with a written statement guaranteeing the successor entity's performance of the Servicer's obligations under the Agreement. References to "Owner" in the second and third paragraph of Section 8.03 shall refer to the "Master Servicer acting at the direction, or with the prior consent of, the Trustee". A-12 35. Section 9.01 is hereby amended by changing the references to "Owner" in the third and fourth paragraph of such section to "Master Servicer." 36. Section 9.02 (Termination Without Cause) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Section 9.02 Termination Without Cause. ------------------------- This Agreement shall terminate upon: (i) the later of (a) the distribution of the final payment or liquidation proceeds on the last Mortgage Loan to the Owner (or advances by the Servicer for the same), and (b) the disposition of all REO Property acquired upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder or (ii) mutual consent of the Servicer, the Bank and the Master Servicer in writing. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer by registered mail to the address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Servicer shall comply with the termination procedures set forth in Sections 10.01 and 10.03 hereof and the procedures set forth below. In connection with any such termination referred to in clause (ii) above, the Bank will be responsible for reimbursing the Servicer for all unreimbursed out-of-pocket Servicing Advances within 15 Business Days following the date of termination and other reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with any transfer of servicing. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, in the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Property, the Bank may at its election terminate this Agreement with respect to such REO Property upon 15 days' written notice to the Servicer. In the event of such election, the Bank shall reimburse the Servicer for all unreimbursed out-of-pocket Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances on the date of termination and other reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with any transfer of servicing, including, but not limited to, costs associated with the transfer of the related files to the Owner's designee. 37. Section 10.01 (Successor to the Servicer) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 6.02, 8.03, 9.01 or 9.02, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor servicer meeting the eligibility requirements of this Agreement set forth in Sections 8.01(i) and (ii) and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to the Servicer that is not at that time a Servicer of other mortgage loans for the Trust Fund A-13 shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer, the Bank, the Trustee and each Rating Agency (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement). Unless the successor servicer is at that time a Servicer of other mortgage loans for the Trust Fund, each Rating Agency must deliver to the Trustee a letter to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 10.01 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 6.01 and the remedies available to the Trustee under Sections 6.02 and 7.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 7.03 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as applicable, and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor Servicer, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Master Servicer an instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 and (ii) an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under this Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a A-14 party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Master Servicer or the Trustee may have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation. The Servicer shall deliver (i) within three (3) Business Days to the successor Servicer the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and (ii) within 30 Business Days all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Master Servicer of such appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any transfer of servicing hereunder as a result of a termination of the Servicer for cause pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Agreement, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or any other Person in appointing a successor servicer, or of the Master Servicer in assuming the responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, or of transferring the Servicing Files and the other necessary data to the successor servicer shall be paid by the terminated, removed or resigning Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement. 38. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 10.02 (Closing), Section 10.03 (Closing Documents), Section 10.07 (Notices) and Section 10.16 (Exhibits) are inapplicable to this Agreement. 39. A new Section 10.19 is hereby added to the Master Servicing Agreement to read as follows: Intended Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement agree that it is appropriate, in furtherance of the intent of such parties as set forth herein, that the Master Servicer and the Trustee receive the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent of such provisions. The Servicer shall have the same obligations to the Master Servicer and the Trustee as if they were parties to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the same rights and remedies to enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if they were parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall only take direction from the Master Servicer (if direction by the Master Servicer is required under this Agreement) unless otherwise directed by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder (other than the right to indemnification) shall terminate upon termination of the Trust Agreement and of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
