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 Servicer’s reasonable and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence

4.16 (Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property) is hereby
amended
by (i) replacing the reference to “one year” in the fifteenth 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 (and provided a copy of
the
same to the Master Servicer and the Trustee) 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.
A-6
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.
(iii) deleting
the first sentence of the third paragraph thereto, and (iv) by adding the
following to the end of such Section:
Prior
to
acceptance by the Servicer of an offer to sell any REO Property for a sale
price
that is less than 90% of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer 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 Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved
the sale of any REO Property unless the Master Servicer notifies the Servicer
in
writing, within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the related Notice
of
Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which case the Servicer shall
not proceed with such sale.

the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer a monthly report containing
such information regarding prepayments of Mortgage Loans during the applicable
Principal Prepayment Period and in a format as mutually agreed to between the
Servicer and the Master Servicer.
A-7

|
Simultaneously
with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 10.01, 11.01(ii) or 11.02, the Master
Servicer shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities,
rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor
meeting the eligibility requirements of this Agreement, 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 Owner
and each Rating Agency (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing
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 Owner, 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 12.01 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations
and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the remedies
available to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund under Section 3.03 shall
be
applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination
of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
A-10
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
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 an assumption of 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 8.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 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, 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 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.
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 pursuant to Section 10.01 or removal of the Servicer or resignation
of the Servicer 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
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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, such expenses will
only be paid by the Servicer if such Servicer is resigning or has been
terminated for cause.

shall have the same rights and remedies to enforce the provisions of this

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the Trust Fund,
