A new definition of "Opinion of Counsel" is hereby added to Article I to read as follows: Opinion of Counsel A written opinion of counsel, who may be an employee of the Company, that is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor provided that any Opinion of Counsel relating to (a) qualification of the Mortgage Loans in a REMIC or (b) compliance with the REMIC Provisions, must be an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor, who (i) is in fact independent of the Seller, the Company and the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) does not have any material direct or indirect financial interest in the Company or the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans or in an affiliate of any such entity and (iii) is not connected with the Seller, the Company or the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans as an officer, employee, director or person performing similar functions. 11.

The definition of "REO Property" in Article I is hereby amended by replacing the word "Owner" with "Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund". 14. Section 2.01(d) is hereby amended by replacing the word "Owner's" with "Depositor's" and by deleting the second and third sentence. 15.

A-2 20. Section 2.02(a) is amended by adding the following: In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Company 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 Company 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 Trust Fund 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 Company has received such an extension, then the Company 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 Company has not received such an extension and the Company 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 Company has received such an extension, and the Company is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Company 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 Company) 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 prepared by the Company or take any other action reasonably requested by the Company which would enable the Company, 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 the Trust Fund 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 Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes." 21.

If the Trustee shall succeed to and assume the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, such succession shall not be effective prior to 90 days after the Trustee's knowledge that the Company shall be terminated hereunder. The Company shall not be removed hereunder prior to the effectiveness of the assumption of its responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations by the successor thereto. Any successor to the Company that is not at that time a Company of other Mortgage Loans for the Trust Fund shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor, 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 Trustee 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 Company under this Agreement. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Company 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 Company pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article IV and the remedies available to the Trustee under Article VIII, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of Article XII, Setion 8.01, 10.02, 15.02, 15.04 and 15.16. shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement. A-6 Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity, the Company 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 Company shall cooperate with the Trustee and the Depositor, as applicable, and such successor in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor Company, 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 Company 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 Company and the Depositor an instrument (i) accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and (ii) an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Company under this Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Company or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01 shall not affect any claims that the Depositor or the Trustee may have against the Company arising out of the Company's actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation. The Company shall deliver within ten (10) Business Days to the successor Company the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company 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 Company. Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify the Trustee and Depositor of such appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set forth herein. 42. A new Section 13.02 is hereby added 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 Depositor 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 Company shall have the same obligations to the Depositor and the Trustee as if they were parties to this Agreement, and the Depositor 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 Company shall only take direction from the Depositor (if direction by the Depositor is required under this Agreement) unless otherwise directed by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder (other A-7 than the right to indemnification) shall terminate upon termination of the Trust Agreement and of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement. 43. A new Section 13.03 is hereby added to read as follows: Request for Release. When requesting a release of documents from the Custodian, the Company shall use the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.
