It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.01 (a) through (h), (j) and (l)
are hereby restated as of the Closing Date and shall survive the
engagement of the Company to perform the servicing responsibilities
hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Company and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Master Servicer. Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties 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 or the interest of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other.
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 Section 3.01 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 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 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 12.01.
In addition, the Company shall indemnify (from its own funds)
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and 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 Company's representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the remedies set
forth in this Section 3.01 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 Company relating to or arising
out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in
Section 3.01 shall accrue upon (i) discovery of such breach by the
Company or notice thereof by the Trustee or Master Servicer to the
Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach within the
applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the
Trustee or the Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.

(i) by deleting the first, second and third sentences of the

following:
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to
the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence
to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable and prudent
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that
unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or such default is, in the judgement of the Company, imminent, the
Company shall not permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, 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.
(ii) by adding the following to the end of the second paragraph
of such section:
Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan, the Company 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 Company 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.
13. Section 4.04 (Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account) is
hereby amended as follows:
(a) the words "in trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent
purchasers of Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors-P&I" in the
fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of the first
paragraph shall be replaced by the following: "in trust for
SASCO 2003-37A Trust Fund and various Mortgagors".
(b) by amending clause (viii) to read as follows:
(viii) the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount
paid out of the Company's own funds without any right to
reimbursement therefor;
14. Section 4.05 (Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account) is hereby
amended by replacing the last five lines of clause (ii) with the
following:
the Trust Fund; provided however, that in the event that the Company
determines in good faith that any unreimbursed Monthly Advances will
not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of
payments of principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage
Loan as to which such Monthly Advance was made or from Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
the Company may reimburse itself for such amounts from the Custodial
Account, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement,
that the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Trust Fund;
A-3
15. Section 4.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) shall be
amended by deleting the words "Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers
of Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors-T&I" in the
fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of the first paragraph,
and replacing it with the following:
"in trust for SASCO 2003-37A Trust Fund and various Mortgagors".
16. Section 4.16 (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", (ii)
replacing the words "one" and "sentence" with "three" and "paragraph",
respectively, in the sixth line of the third paragraph thereto, (iv)
adding two new paragraphs after the fourth 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 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 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 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 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 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 Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
(iv) deleting the first sentence of the fifth paragraph thereto, (v)
replacing the word "advances" in the sixth line of the fifth paragraph
thereof with "Monthly Advances", and (vi) by adding the following to
the end of such Section:
A-4
Prior to acceptance by the Company of an offer to sell any REO
Property, the Company 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 Company 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 Company shall not
proceed with such sale.
17. Section 5.01 (Remittances) is hereby amended by adding the following
after the second paragraph of such Section:

18. Section 5.02 (Statements to Purchaser) is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

shall furnish to the Master Servicer an electronic file providing
loan level accounting data for the period ending on the last

Exhibits D-1 and D-2 hereto (or in such other format mutually agreed
to between the Company and the Master Servicer). The information
required by Exhibit D-2 is limited to that which is readily
available to the Company and is mutually agreed to by the Company
and Master Servicer.
19. Section 5.03 (Monthly Advances by Company) is hereby amended by
deleting the last sentence of such Section.
20. Section 8.01 (Indemnification; Third Party Claims) is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser, 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,
judgements, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such
parties may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company
to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company immediately
shall notify the Purchaser, 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, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgement
or decree which may be entered against it or any of such parties in
respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written
instructions received from the Trustee in connection with such
claim. The Company shall provide the Trustee with a written report
of all expenses and advances incurred by the Company pursuant to
this Section 8.01, and the Trustee from the assets of the Trust Fund
promptly shall reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it
pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any
way relates to the failure of the Company to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this
Agreement or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of this Company.

(a) changing any reference to "Purchaser" to "Master Servicer"
(b) changing the reference to "five days" to "two Business Days" in
clause (i); and
(c) amending subclause (vii) as follows: "the Company at any time is

22. Section 10.02 (Waiver of Defaults) is hereby amended by changing the

consent of the Trustee".
23. Section 11.01 (Termination) is hereby amended by restating subclause
(ii) thereof to read as below and adding the following sentence after

Servicer and the Rating Agencies.
At the time of any termination of the Company pursuant to
Section 11.01, the Company shall be entitled to all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
Monthly Advances; provided, however, in the event of a termination
for cause under Sections 10.01 hereof, such unreimbursed amounts
shall not be reimbursed to the Company until such amounts are
received by the Trust Fund from the related Mortgage Loans.
24. Section 11.02 (Termination Without Cause) is hereby amended by
replacing the first reference to "Purchaser" with "Xxxxxx Brothers
Holdings (with the prior consent of the Trustee)" and by replacing all
other references to "Purchaser" with "Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings."
25. Section 12.01 (Successor to Company) is hereby amended in its entirety
to read as follows:
Simultaneously with the termination of the Company's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 8.04, 10.01, 11.01(ii) or 11.02, the Master Servicer 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 this 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. Any successor to the Company that
is not at that time a servicer of other mortgage loans for the Trust
Fund shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer, the
Purchaser, 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 Purchaser, 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;
A-6
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 Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies
available to the Trust Fund under Section 3.03 shall be applicable
to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination
of the Company, 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 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 Master Servicer, 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 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 Company to the Account or any
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION
Re: Structured Asset Securities Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2003-37A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Vice President of Xxxxx Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc. (the
"Servicer"), certify to [identify the company submitting to SEC], and its
officers, directors, agents and affiliates (in its role as [identify role] the
"Sarbanes Certifying Party"), and with the knowledge and intent that they will
rely upon this certification, that:
1. Based on my knowledge, the information relating to the Mortgage Loans and
the servicing thereof submitted by the Servicer to the Sarbanes Certifying
Party which is used in connection with preparation of the reports on Form
8-K and the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC with respect to
each transaction listed on the attached Exhibit A, taken as a whole, does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of
the date of this certification;
2. The servicing information required to be provided to the Sarbanes
Certifying Party by the Servicer under the relevant servicing agreements
has been provided to the Sarbanes Certifying Party;
3. I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer
under the relevant servicing agreements and based upon the review required
by the relevant servicing agreements, and except as disclosed in the Annual
Statement of Compliance, the Annual Independent Public Accountant's
Servicing Report and all servicing reports, officer's certificates and
other information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted
to the Sarbanes Certifying Party, the Servicer has, as of the date of this
certification fulfilled its obligations under the relevant servicing
agreements; and
4. I have disclosed to the Sarbanes Certifying Party all significant
deficiencies relating to the Servicer's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards in accordance with a review conducted in compliance
with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar
standard as set forth in the relevant servicing agreements.
5. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying
Party and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees
and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors,
agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Certification or the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection
therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Sarbanes Certifying Party, then the
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the Sarbanes Certifying Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Sarbanes Certifying Party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Sarbanes Certifying Party
on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach
of the Servicer's obligations under this Certification or the Servicer's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
