agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this

17. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 2.04 (Custodial Agreement)
shall be inapplicable to this Agreement, as superseded by the
provisions of the Custodial Agreement and the Trust Agreement.
18. Section 3.01 (Servicer to Service) is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows:
Section 3.01 Servicer to Service.
From the date of origination of the related Mortgage
Loans to the related Closing Date, the Servicer shall have
serviced the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. From and after the related
Closing Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor,
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
this Agreement and shall have full power and authority, acting
alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem
necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this
Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices.
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage
Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with
any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or
indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided,
however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect
to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Servicer, imminent and the Servicer has obtained the prior
written consent of the Owner) the Servicer shall not permit
any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or 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. With respect to a Reconstitution Agreement, in the event
of any such modification which permits the deferral of
interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or
interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial
Account from its own funds, in
A-6
accordance with Section 3.04, the difference between (a) such
month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to
execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Owner, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer,
the Owner shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.
Promptly after the execution of any assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer 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 Servicer 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.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection
procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily
employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage
loans for its own account, giving due consideration to
Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not
conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, and the
Owner's reliance on the Servicer.
Absent written consultation and approval by the
Owner, as specified in this Section 3.01, the Servicer may
take actions relative to the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans that are consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices.
19. The parties hereto acknowledge that references to the "Owner" in the
second and third paragraphs of Section 3.02 shall refer to the Master
Servicer, except that the expense of any environmental inspection or
review at the request of the Master Servicer shall be an expense of the
Trust Fund.
20. Section 3.04 is hereby amended by changing the words "Xxxxxxxxxx
Mortgage Company, Inc. in trust for Centre Capital Group, Inc., owner
of Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors" in
the fourth and fifth lines of the first paragraph to "Xxxxxxxxxx
Mortgage Company, Inc. in trust for the SASCO 2004-12H Trust Fund" and
"Cut-off Date" in the second paragraph to "close of business on May 1,
2004."
21. Section 3.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) is
hereby amended by changing the words "Xxxxxxxxxx Mortgage Company, Inc.
in trust for Centre Capital Group, Inc., owner of Fixed and Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors" appearing in the fourth,
fifth and sixth lines of the first paragraph thereof to "Xxxxxxxxxx
Mortgage Company, Inc. in trust for the SASCO 2004-12H Trust Fund."
A-7
22. Section 3.18 (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)
adding two new paragraphs after the second 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
Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer has received such an extension, then the
Servicer 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 Servicer has not
received such an extension and the Servicer 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 Servicer
has received such an extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the
REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of
the Extended Period, the Servicer 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 Servicer) 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 Servicer which would
enable the Servicer, 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 Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.

days after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it
disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall not

Accountants, to furnish to the Seller and Master Servicer (i)

Servicer and (ii) a statement to the effect that such firm has
examined certain documents and records for the preceding
fiscal year (or during the period from the date of
commencement of such Servicer's duties hereunder until the end
of such preceding fiscal year in the case of the first such

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
Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report, in which
case such exceptions shall be set forth in such statement.

read as follows:
Section 5.07 Annual Officer's Certificate.
On or before the last day of February of each year, beginning
with February 28, 2005, the Servicer, at its own expense, will

hereto as Exhibit F.
29. The second, third and fourth paragraphs of Section 6.02 (Remedies for
Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer) are hereby
restated to read as follows:
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by
or notice to the Servicer of any breach of a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 6.01 which materially and
adversely affects the ability of the Servicer 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, the Servicer shall use
its best efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material
respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Servicer
shall, at the Trustee's option, assign the Servicer's rights
and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the
affected Mortgage 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 10.01.
In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify (from its
own funds) the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the 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 Servicer's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It
is understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this
Section 6.02 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 Servicer relating to
or arising out of the Breach of any representations and
warranties made in Section 6.01 shall accrue upon (i)
discovery of such Breach by the Servicer or notice thereof by
the Trustee or Master Servicer to the Servicer, (ii) failure
by the Servicer to cure such breach within the applicable cure
period and (iii) demand upon the Servicer by the Trustee or
the Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.
30. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 6.03 (Representations and
Warranties of the Owner), Section 6.04 (Remedies for Breach of
Representations and Warranties of the Owner), Section 7.01 (Removal of
Mortgage Loans from Inclusion Under the Agreement Upon a Pass-Through
Transfer or a Whole Loan Transfer on One or More Reconstitution Dates)
and Section 7.02 (Owner's Repurchase and Indemnification Obligations)
are inapplicable to this Agreement.
A-11
31. Section 7.03 (Indemnification; Third Party Claims) is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
The Servicer shall indemnify 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, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that
any of such parties may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the
Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Servicer immediately shall notify the Seller,
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) the defense of any
such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it
or any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Servicer
shall follow any written instructions received from the
Trustee in connection with such claim. The Trustee from the
assets of the Trust Fund promptly shall reimburse the Servicer
for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding
sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the
Servicer's indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the
failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Trust Fund shall indemnify the Servicer and hold
it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that the Servicer may sustain in any way related
to the failure of the Trustee or the Master Servicer to
perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement.
In the event a dispute arises between an indemnified
party and the Servicer with respect to any of the rights and
obligations of the parties pursuant to this Agreement and such
dispute is adjudicated in a court of law, by an arbitration
panel or any other judicial process, then the losing party
shall indemnify and reimburse the winning party for all
attorney's fees and other costs and expenses related to the
adjudication of said dispute.
32. Section 8.02 (Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others) is
hereby amended by changing the word "Owner" to "Trustee" where it
appears in the proviso to the third sentence thereof and the word
"Owner" to "Trust Fund" in the fourth sentence of such Section.
33. The first paragraph of Section 8.03 (Limitation on Resignation and
Assignment by Servicer) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
A-12
The Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or
the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties
hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a third party
in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes,
insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer
shall be fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer
performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its property or assets without the prior
written consent of the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which
consent shall be granted or withheld in the reasonable
discretion of such parties, provided, however, that the
Servicer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder
without prior written consent of the Trustee and the Master
Servicer to any entity that is directly owned or controlled by
the Servicer, and the Servicer guarantees the performance of
such entity hereunder. In the event of such assignment by the
Servicer, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the
Master Servicer with a written statement guaranteeing the
successor entity's performance of the Servicer's obligations
under the Agreement.
References to "Owner" in the second and third paragraphs of Section
8.03 shall refer to the "Master Servicer acting at the direction, or with the
prior consent of, the Trustee".
34. Section 9.01 is hereby amended by changing the references to "Owner" in
the third and fourth paragraphs of such section to "Master Servicer."
35. Section 9.02 (Termination Without Cause) is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
Section 9.02 Termination Without Cause.
This Agreement shall terminate upon: (i) the later of
(a) the distribution of the final payment or liquidation
proceeds on the last Mortgage Loan to the Owner (or advances
by the Servicer for the same) and (b) the disposition of all
REO Property acquired upon foreclosure of the last Mortgage
Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, or (ii)
mutual consent of the Servicer, the Seller and the Master
Servicer in writing or (iii) at the sole option of the Seller,
without cause, upon 30 days written notice. Any such notice of
termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer
by registered mail to the address set forth at the beginning
of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Servicer shall comply with the termination procedures set
forth in Section 9.01 hereof and the procedures set forth
below, provided that, in the event the Seller terminates this
Agreement without cause in accordance with subclause (iii)
above, the Seller shall pay the Servicer a termination fee
equal to 2.0% of the aggregate unpaid balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of such termination date.
In connection with any such termination referred to
in clause (ii) or (iii) above, the Seller will be responsible
for reimbursing the Servicer for all unreimbursed
out-of-pocket Servicing Advances within 15 Business Days
following the date of termination and other reasonable and
necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with any transfer of
servicing.
A-13
Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, in
the event that (i) a Mortgage Loan becomes delinquent for a
period of 90 days or more (a "Delinquent Mortgage Loan") or
(ii) a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Property, the Seller may
at its election terminate this Agreement (a) with respect to
such Delinquent Mortgage Loan or (b) REO Property, in each
case, upon 15 days' written notice to the Servicer. In the
event of such election, the Seller shall reimburse the
Servicer for all unreimbursed out-of-pocket Servicing Advances
and Monthly Advances on the date of termination and other
reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with
any transfer of servicing, including, but not limited to,
costs associated with the transfer of the related files to the
Owner's designee.
36. Section 10.01 (Successor to the Servicer) is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement (a) pursuant
to Sections 6.02, 7.03, 8.03, 9.01 or 9.02, the Master
Servicer shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) appoint a successor servicer meeting the
eligibility requirements of this Agreement set forth in
Sections 8.01(i) and (ii) and which shall succeed to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement with the
termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor to the
Servicer 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 Seller, 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 Depositor, 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 Servicer
under this Agreement. In the event that the Servicer's duties,
responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should
be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the
Servicer 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 Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned
sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be
appointed pursuant to this Section 10.01 and shall in no event
relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Section 6.01 and the remedies available to
the Trustee under Sections 6.02 and 7.03, it being understood
and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 6.01, 6.02 and
7.03 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any
such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the
termination of this Agreement.
A-14
Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event
longer than 30 days of the appointment of a successor entity,
the Servicer 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 Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and
the Master Servicer, as applicable, and such successor in
effecting the termination of the Servicer'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 Servicer to the Custodial 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 Servicer
and the Master Servicer an instrument (i) accepting such
appointment, wherein the successor shall make the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.01 and
(ii) assuming the due and punctual performance and observance
of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by
the Servicer under this Agreement, whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer,
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.01 and
9.02 shall not affect any claims that the Master Servicer or
the Trustee may have against the Servicer arising out of the
Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall deliver (i) within three (3)
Business Days to the successor servicer the funds in the
Custodial Account and Escrow Account and (ii) within 30
Business Days all Mortgage Loan Documents and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer
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 Servicer.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such,
the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Master Servicer of
such appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set
forth herein.
A-15
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 Servicer for cause pursuant to Section 9.01 of the
Agreement, 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 Servicer 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.
37. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 10.02 (Closing), Section
10.03 (Closing Documents), Section 10.07 (Notices) and Section 10.16
(Exhibits) are inapplicable to this Agreement.
38. A new Section 10.19 is hereby added to the Master Servicing Agreement
to read as follows:
Section 10.19 Intended Third Party Beneficiaries.
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 Servicer 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
Servicer 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.
