of the
Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement) for the Distressed Mortgage
Loan for deposit into the Collection Account established by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and (B) the NIMS Insurer’s (i) acknowledgment

Management and Disposition of REO Property) is hereby amended by:
(i)
|
adding
the following paragraph as the third paragraph of such
Section:
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17, in connection with
a
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event
the
Seller has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated
by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Trustee or the Master

The
Seller shall use its Best Efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon

after
title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (a) a REMIC election has
not
been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans
and the
REO Property are held, and (b) the Seller determines, and gives an appropriate
notice to the Master Servicer to such effect, that a longer period is necessary
for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than
three
years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell
any REO
Property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Master Servicer as to
the
progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written
consent of the Trustee, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection
with
such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee,

such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement,
but
instead a separate participation agreement among the Seller and Trustee shall
be
entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Seller shall not be required to provide
financing for the sale of any REO Property. 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 or held by or on

that
would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”

A-7
(iii) by

Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property unless

sale, in which case the Seller shall not proceed with such sale.

day
following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such
payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with
the
distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment

A
new Section 11.04 (Successor to the Seller) is hereby added to
read as
follows:
|
Simultaneously
with the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.03, 11.01 or 11.03, the Master Servicer
shall,
in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement (i) succeed to and
assume all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor that meets the eligibility
requirements of this Agreement and that shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller under this
Agreement with the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to the Seller that is not
at
that time a Seller of other mortgage loans for the Trust Fund shall be subject
to the approval of the Master Servicer, Xxxxxx Brothers Bank, FSB, 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
Xxxxxx Brothers Bank, 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 Seller under this Agreement. In the event
that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement
should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Seller
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 Seller pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 11.04
and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Article X shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding
any
such resignation or termination of the Seller, 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 Seller 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 Seller shall cooperate with the Trustee and the
Master Servicer, as applicable, and such successor in effecting the termination
of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer of
servicing responsibilities to the successor Seller, 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 Seller to the Custodial
Account or any Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans.
A-13
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Trustee, the Seller 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 Seller under this Agreement, whereupon such
successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller, with like effect
as
if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation
of the Seller or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11.01
or
11.03 shall not affect any claims that the Master Servicer or the Trustee
may
have against the Seller arising out of the Seller’s actions or failure to act
prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Seller shall deliver within three (3) Business Days to the successor seller
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
Seller 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 Seller.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Seller 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 Seller or resignation of the Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller from its own funds without
reimbursement.

benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as intended third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent of such provisions. The Seller

the
Trustee as if they were parties to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer,
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
Seller 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, the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder (other than the
right
to indemnification) shall terminate upon termination of the Trust Agreement
