11. Distressed Mortgage Loans. The NIMS Insurer may, at its option,
purchase a Distressed Mortgage Loan; provided, however, prior to any such
purchase, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Monthly Advances
with respect to such Distressed Mortgage Loans, to the extent required by the
applicable servicing provisions in the SWSA. Any such purchase shall be
accomplished by: (A) remittance to the Master Servicer 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 and agreement to
retain Servicer, as the servicer for any such purchased Distressed Mortgage
Loan, to service such Distressed Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of the
SWSA, and (ii) assumption, for the benefit of the Servicer, the rights and
obligations of the Trust Fund as owner of such purchased Distressed Mortgage
Loans pursuant to the SWSA. The Trustee and the Servicer shall immediately

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
increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual
payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on
such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby

cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage

(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

unreimbursed Monthly Advances will not be recoverable from

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;
18. Section 4.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) shall be
amended by deleting the words "Purchaser of Conventional Residential

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

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.

Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) result
in the imposition of any tax upon any REMIC included in the
Trust Fund.

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

rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this
Agreement and such dispute is adjudicated in a court of law,

any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be

Simultaneously with the termination of the Company's

Sections 9.04, 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
A-9
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 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.
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 9.04,
10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims that (i) the
Master Servicer or the Trustee may have against the Company
arising out of the Company's actions or failure to act, or
(ii) the Company may have against the Trust Fund, prior to any
such termination or resignation.
A-10
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 (as a result of a termination
of the Company for cause pursuant to Section 10.01),
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 Servicer
from its own funds without reimbursement. The Trust Fund shall
be liable for all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with any transfer of servicing hereunder, other than costs and
expenses incurred in connection with a transfer of servicing
for cause as stated above.
