recites and provides as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Seller has conveyed certain mortgage loans (the "Mortgage

for the Seller pursuant to the Portfolio Servicing Agreement between the Seller
and the Company as amended by Amendment Agreement No. 1 thereto (as amended, the
"Servicing Agreement"), attached as Exhibit C.
WHEREAS, the Seller desires that the Company continue to service the
Mortgage Loans, and the Company has agreed to do so.
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Company agree that the provisions of the
Servicing Agreement, as amended hereby with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
continue to apply to the Mortgage Loans, and shall govern the Mortgage Loans for
so long as such Mortgage Loans remain subject to the provisions of the Trust
Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Company intend that the Depositor and the
Trustee are each intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter
set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller and the Company hereby
agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this
Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto and any provisions of the Servicing
Agreement incorporated by reference herein (regardless of whether such terms are
defined in the Servicing Agreement), shall have the meanings ascribed to such

Delinquent" if such payment has not been received by the close of
business on the corresponding day of the month immediately succeeding
the month in which such payment was first due, or, if there is no such
corresponding day (e.g., as when a 30-day month follows a 31-day month
in which a payment was due on the 31st day of such month), then on the

Delinquent" and the second immediately succeeding month and "90 days
Delinquent" and the third immediately succeeding month.

10. 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

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

relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits, which
appear at sections 860A through 860G of Subchapter M of
Chapter 1 of the Code, and related provisions, and
regulations, including proposed regulations and rulings, and
administrative pronouncements promulgated thereunder, as the

waiver or amendment of any material term of any Mortgage Loan
(including but not limited to the interest rate, the principal
balance, the amortization schedule, or any other term
affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Mortgage
Loan or the collateral therefor) unless the Company shall have
provided to the Depositor and the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel in writing to the effect that such modification,
waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
MLCC 2004-A
Reconstituted Servicing Agreement
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. Section 2.03 is hereby deleted.
22. Section 2.04 is hereby amended by replacing the word "Owner" with
"Depositor and/or Trustee."
23. Section 2.05(a) is hereby amended by deleting the second sentence
thereof.
24. Section 2.08 is hereby replaced with the following:
Company Not to Resign. The Company 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 Company shall be fully liable for such tasks as if
the Company performed them itself) nor sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets
without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the
Depositor, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the
reasonable discretion of such
MLCC 2004-A
Reconstituted Servicing Agreement
A-3
parties, provided, however, that (i) the Company may assign
its rights and obligations hereunder without prior written
consent of the Trustee and the Depositor to any entity that is
directly owned or controlled by the Company, and the Company
guarantees the performance of such entity hereunder (ii) the
Company is no longer permitted to act as Company under
applicable law as evidenced by an opinion of counsel or (iii)
upon a sale of its servicing rights with respect to the
Mortgage Loans with the prior written consent of the Seller.
In the case of item (i) above, the Company shall provide the
Trustee and the Depositor with a written statement
guaranteeing the successor entity's performance of the
Company's obligations under the Agreement.
25. Section 2.11 is hereby amended by deleting the third sentence and
replacing the word "Owner" with "Seller" in the last sentence.
26. Section 2.12 is hereby deleted.
27. Section 4.16 is hereby added:
Compliance With Representations and Warranties. Within 60 days
of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company
of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
this Article IV which materially and adversely affects the
ability of the Company 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 Company shall use its best efforts
promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if
such breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the
Trustee's option, assign the Company's rights and obligations
under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage
Loans) to a successor Company selected by the Depositor with
the prior consent and approval of the Trustee. Such assignment
shall be made in accordance with Section 13.01.
28. Section 5.02 is hereby deleted.

Account as of the close of business on the last day of the
related Due Period (including (1) the amount of any Principal
Prepayment, together with interest thereon at the related Net
Mortgage Rate to the end of the month in which prepayment of
the related Mortgage Loan occurs, provided that such interest
may not be greater that the servicing compensation payable to
the Company in the applicable month, and (2) all proceeds of
any REO Disposition net of amounts payable to the Company),
net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Funds
Account in accordance with Article VII, which charges against
or withdrawals from the Custodial Funds Account the Company
shall make solely on such Portfolio Remittance Date, plus (b)
all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Company is obligated
to remit; provided that the Company shall not be required to
remit, until the next following Portfolio Remittance Date, any
amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on

its obligation to make any such Monthly Advance and transfer
such funds from the Custodial Funds Account to the Trustee.
Any such Monthly Payments so used to make Monthly Advances
shall be replaced by the Company by deposit in the Custodial

the first paragraph of such section with the following:
Not later than the 15th calendar day of each month
(or if such calendar day is not a Business Day, the

39. Section 12.01 is hereby deleted.
40. Section 12.02 is amended by replacing all references to "Owner" with
"Trustee, Trust Fund and Depositor."
41. Section 13.01 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Simultaneously with the termination of the Company's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement (a) the
Trustee shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of the Company's
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor meeting the eligibility
requirements of the Trust Agreement and which shall succeed to
all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Company under this Agreement with the
termination of the Company's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement. 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, Section 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.
MLCC 2004-A
Reconstituted Servicing 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
MLCC 2004-A
Reconstituted Servicing Agreement
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.
