agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this
Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto and any provisions of the SWSA
incorporated by reference herein (regardless of whether such terms are defined

Agreement.
2. Custodianship. The parties hereto acknowledge that U.S. Bank
National Association will act as custodian of the Servicing Files for the
Trustee pursuant to a Custodial Agreement, dated January 1, 2004, between U.S.

obligations that are to be performed and observed under the provisions of the
SWSA, except as otherwise provided herein and on Exhibit A hereto, and that the
provisions of the SWSA, as so modified, are and shall be a part of this
Agreement to the same extent as if set forth herein in full. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that on February 1, 2004 and March 1, 2004 (each, a
"Servicing Transfer Date") with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall transfer all servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the SWSA
to the successor servicer designated by the Seller. The Seller hereby designates
Aurora to act as the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans on and after the applicable
Servicing Transfer Date and to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to an
existing servicing agreement between the Seller and Aurora.

obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the failure of the

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 judgment 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

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:

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.
18. Section 4.04 (Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account) is
hereby amended as follows:
the words "in trust for the Purchaser of Conventional

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;
20. Section 4.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) shall be
amended by deleting the words "Purchaser of Conventional Residential
Conventional Residential Fixed and Adjustable rate Mortgage Loans,

21. 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 third paragraph thereof with "three years" and (ii)
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.
A-6
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.
(iii) replacing the word "advances" in the sixth line of the fifth
paragraph thereof with "Monthly Advances", and (iv) by adding the
following to the end of such Section:
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.
22. Section 5.01 (Remittances) is hereby amended by adding the following
after the second paragraph of such Section:
All remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer
shall be made to the following wire account or to such other
account as may be specified by the Master Servicer from time to
time:

33. 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; 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.
A-10
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Company and the
Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment,
wherein the successor shall make 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 Sections 8.04, 10.01, 11.01 or
11.02 shall not affect any claims that the Master Servicer 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 three (3) Business Days
of the appointment of a successor Servicer, the funds in the
Custodial Account and Escrow Account and all Collateral Files,
Credit Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder to the successor Servicer 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 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 (whether as a result of
termination or removal of the Company or resignation of the
Company or otherwise), 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 Company 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.
34. Section 12.02 (Amendment) is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
Section 12.02 (Amendment)
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by written
agreement signed by the Company and the Purchaser, with the
written consent of the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

38. A new Section 12.13 (Intended Third Party Beneficiaries) is hereby
added to read as follows:
A-11
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 Company 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
Company 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.
39. A new Section 12.14 (Officer's Certificate) is hereby added to read as
follows:
By February 28th of each year beginning February 28, 2005,
or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an
officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer's
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached
hereto, signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of
the Servicer or any officer to whom that officer reports, to
the Master Servicer and Depositor for the benefit of such the
Master Servicer and their respective officers, directors and
affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
as to any year a report on Form 10-K is not required to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect
to the related securitization transaction for the prior
calendar year, then (i) the Depositor shall notify the
Servicer of that fact, and (ii) the Servicer shall not be
required to provide the Officer's Certificate described in
this Section 12.14.
