FARGO BANK MINNESOTA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Master Servicer, XXXXXXXXX
MORTGAGE HOME LOANS, INC. (“TMHL”), as Seller and as Servicer (the “Servicing

MASTER SERVICER, the SERVICER and the SELLER (the “Amendment”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,
TMHL and the Master Servicer are parties to the Servicing Agreement wherein
the
Servicer has agreed to service Securitized Loans pursuant to the terms of the
Servicing Agreement;
WHEREAS,
the Master Servicer has requested that certain additional servicing

NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Capitalized
terms used and not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given

entitled “Definitions” is amended as follows:

follows:
“That

2002 by and between the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer.”
3. Section

a. deleting
the phrase “Not more than ninety (90) days after the end of the Servicer’s

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

b. deleting
the phrase “commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002” in the
first sentence.
Therefore,
Section 5.03 now reads in its entirety as follows:

but no later than March 30 of each year, (or if not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30)
days
written request, execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Master
Servicer for the benefit of such Master Servicer and its officers, directors
and
affiliates, certifying as to the following matters:
(i)
Based on
my knowledge, the information in the annual statement of compliance furnished
pursuant to Section 5.03, the annual independent public accountant’s servicing
report furnished pursuant to Section 5.02 and all servicing reports, officer’s
certificates and other information relating to the servicing of the Securitized
Loans submitted to the Master Servicer 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;
(ii) The
servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by the
Servicer under this Servicing Agreement has been provided to the Master
Servicer;
(iii) I
am
responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer under the

Agreement, 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 Securitized Loans submitted to the Master Servicer, the Servicer has,
as
of the date of this certification fulfilled its obligations under the Servicing
Agreement; and

by
the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under this Section 5.04 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 Master
Servicer, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the
Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations
under this Section 5.04 or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
6. Section
8.01 entitled “Termination for Cause” is amended by:

the word “or” at the end of subsection (vii);
b. deleting
the “.” at the end of subsection (viii) and replacing it with the phrase “;

such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by any party to this Servicing Agreement or by any master servicer
responsible for master servicing the Securitized Loans pursuant to a
securitization of such Securitized Loans.
7.
The
Sub-Servicer’s performance in accordance with the Sub-Servicing Acknowledgment
Agreement shall satisfy the Servicer’s obligations under the Servicing
Agreement, as amended hereby.
8. Except
as
amended herein, the terms and conditions and obligations of the Agreement shall

and the same instrument.

(ii) any
breach by TMHL of its obligations under this Amendment, including particularly
any failure by TMHL, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor
to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other
material when and as required under this Amendment, as applicable, including
any
failure by TMHL to identify pursuant to Section 3 any Subcontractor

(iv) the
gross negligence of TMHL in connection with its performance under this
Amendment.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party, then TMHL agrees that it shall contribute

amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party on
the one
hand and TMHL on the other.
In
the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this

to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other

by TMHL
of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section
4(b)
to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, which
failure
or breach continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) calendar days after
the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to have
been
remedied, shall have been given to TMHL by the Master Servicer or Depositor,
shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to TMHL under this Amendment,
and shall entitle the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its
sole
discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of TMHL as servicer
under
this Amendment pursuant to this Amendment; provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Amendment expressly provides for
the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of TMHL
as
servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

failure by TMHL, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to
deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and

as
servicer, such provision shall be given effect.

the Master Servicer nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the
rights
and obligations of TMHL pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure
of
TMHL to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely

other
than the Mortgage Loans.

The

Servicer and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related
rules and regulations of the Commission. Neither TMHL, the Master Servicer
nor

other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for
purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
the

of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by TMHL, the

Therefore, the Subservicer agrees that (a) the obligations of the Subservicer
hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose,
(b) the Subservicer’s obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as
necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or
guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed
markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of

good
faith is necessary to comply with Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of the
Agreement shall be required to effect such changes in the Subservicer’s
obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB. In connection
with any Securitization Transaction, the Subservicer shall cooperate fully
with
TMHL to deliver to TMHL (including any of its assignees or designees), the
Master Servicer and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith
determination of TMHL, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit TMHL,
the
Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation
