to the other conditions set forth herein.

agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this
Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto and any provisions of the Flow Agreement
incorporated by reference herein (regardless of whether such terms are defined
in the Flow Agreement), shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Trust Agreement.
2. Custodianship. The parties hereto acknowledge that U.S. Bank

3. Servicing. The Servicer agrees, with respect to the Serviced
Mortgage Loans, to perform and observe the duties, responsibilities and
obligations that are to be performed and observed under the provisions of the
Flow Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein and on Exhibit A hereto, and
that the provisions of the Flow Agreement, as so modified, are and shall be a
part of this Agreement to the same extent as if set forth herein in full. The
Servicer acknowledges, for purposes of determining its obligations with respect

no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations of the Seller
under the Flow Agreement and in connection with the performance of the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder, the parties and other signatories hereto agree that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections and
limitations of liability afforded to the Master Servicer under the Trust

shall survive the engagement of the Seller to perform the
servicing responsibilities hereunder and the delivery of the
Servicing Files to the Seller and shall inure to the benefit
of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer. Upon
discovery by either the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
ability of the Seller 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 or the interest of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other.
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by
or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 4.01 which materially and
adversely affects the ability of the Seller 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 Seller shall use its
best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material
respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller
shall, at the Master Servicer's option, assign the Seller's
rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the
affected Loans) to a successor servicer selected by the Master
Servicer. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with
Section 12.01.
A-6
In addition, the Seller shall indemnify (from its own
funds) the Trustee, the Trust Fund and Master Servicer and
hold each of them harmless against any costs resulting from
any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded

representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It
is understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this
Section 4.03 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 Seller relating to or
arising out of the breach of any representations and
warranties made in Section 4.01 shall accrue upon (i)
discovery of such breach by the Seller or notice thereof by
the Trustee or Master Servicer to the Seller, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach within the applicable cure
period, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Trustee or the
Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan
or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any
manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller's
reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
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 Seller, imminent, the
Seller 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.
(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 Seller shall forward to the Master Servicer copies of any
documents evidencing such assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Flow Agreement, the Seller 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 5.04 (Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account) is
hereby amended by:

by adding the following new clause (ix), to read as follows:
(ix) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the
Seller's funds, the Seller's right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this clause (ix) with respect to any Mortgage Loan
being limited to amounts received on or in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan which represent late recoveries of
payments of principal or interest with respect to which a
Monthly Advance was made, it being understood that, in the
case of any such reimbursement, the Seller's right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Trust Fund.
20. Section 5.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) is
hereby amended by replacing the words "Xxxxxx Brothers Bank, FSB,
purchaser of Conventional Residential Adjustable and Fixed, Group No.
2003-FLOW, and various Mortgagors" with "the SARM 2004-18 Trust Fund."
21. Section 5.17 (Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property) is
hereby amended by:
(i) amending in its entirety the third paragraph of such
section to read as follows:
The Seller shall use its Best Efforts to dispose of
the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO
Property in any event within three years 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,
and 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 the Flow
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 behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner,
pursuant to any terms or for a period 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)
result in the imposition of any tax upon any REMIC included in
the Trust Fund.
A-8
(ii) amending in its entirety the fourth paragraph of such
Section to read as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 5.17, 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 Servicer otherwise
requests, an environmental inspection or review of such
Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector
shall be arranged by the Seller. Upon completion of the
inspection, the Seller shall provide the Trustee and the
Master Servicer with a written report of such environmental
inspection. In the event that the environmental inspection
report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated
by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Seller shall
not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure. In the event that the environmental inspection
report is inconclusive as to the whether or not the Mortgaged
Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes, the Seller shall not, without the prior approval of
the Master Servicer, proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In such instance, the Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have approved such foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure unless the Master
Servicer notifies the Seller in writing, within two (2)
Business Days after its receipt of written notice of the
proposed foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure from the

any REO Property, the Seller 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").

Servicer shall be made to the following wire account or to
such other account as may be specified by the Master Servicer

deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future
Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such
Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Trust Fund

directly owned or controlled by the Seller, and the Seller
guarantees the performance of such entity hereunder. In the
event of such assignment by the Seller, the Seller shall

all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall

Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Master Servicer. Upon
written request from the Seller, the Seller shall prepare,

Seller 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

reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs associated with
any transfer of servicing.
A-13
33. Section 12.01 (Successor to Seller) is hereby amended in its entirety
to read as follows:
Simultaneously with the termination of the Seller's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 8.05, 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 Seller's
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor meeting the eligibility
requirements of this Agreement and (iii) and which 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 Holdings Inc., 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 Holdings Inc., 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
12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 4.01
or 4.02 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-14
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Seller
and the Master Servicer an instrument (i) 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 8.05,
10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 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 servicer from its own funds without
reimbursement.
34. A new Section 12.20 (Intended Third Party Beneficiaries) is hereby
added to read as follows:
Section 12.20 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 Seller 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
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 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.
