timely payment of principal and interest by, the United States of

America the obligations of which are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States of America ("Direct Obligations");
(ii) federal funds, or demand and time deposits in, certificates
of deposits of, or bankers' acceptances issued by, any depository
institution or trust company (including U.S. subsidiaries of foreign
depositories and the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, acting in
its respective commercial capacity) incorporated or organized under
the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and
subject to supervision and examination by federal or state banking
authorities, so long as at the time of investment or the contractual
commitment providing for such investment the commercial paper or other
short-term debt obligations of such depository institution or trust
company (or, in the case of a depository institution or trust company
which is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the commercial
paper or other short-term debt or deposit obligations of such holding
company or deposit institution, as the case may be) have been rated by
each Rating Agency in its highest short-term rating category or one of
its two highest long-term rating categories;
(iii) repurchase agreements collateralized by Direct Obligations
or securities guaranteed by Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac with

(iv) securities bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by
any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof which have a credit rating from each
Rating Agency, at the time of investment or the contractual commitment
providing for such investment, at least equal to one of the two
highest long-term credit rating categories of each Rating Agency;
provided, however, that securities issued by any particular
corporation will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that
investment therein will cause the then outstanding principal amount of
securities issued by such corporation and held as part of the Trust
Fund to exceed 20% of the sum of the aggregate principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans; provided, further, that such securities will not
be Eligible Investments if they are published as being under review
with negative implications from any Rating Agency;

(viii) any other demand, money market, common trust fund or time
deposit or obligation, or interest-bearing or other security or
investment, (A) rated in the highest rating category by each Rating
Agency or (B) that would not adversely affect the then current rating
by each Rating Agency of any of the Certificates. Such investments in
this subsection (viii) may include money market mutual funds or common
trust funds, including any fund for which the Trustee, the Master

Servicer or an affiliate thereof charges and collects fees and
expenses from such funds for services rendered, (y) the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or an affiliate thereof charges and collects fees and
expenses for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, and (z)
services performed for such funds and pursuant to this Agreement may
converge at any time; provided, however, that no such instrument shall
be an Eligible Investment if such instrument evidences either (i) a
right to receive only interest payments with respect to the
obligations underlying such instrument, or (ii) both principal and
interest payments derived from obligations underlying such instrument
and the principal and interest payments with respect to such
instrument provide a yield to maturity of greater than 120% of the
yield to maturity at par of such underlying obligations.

of all funds previously invested thereunder, together with accrued
interest thereon at the interest rate provided under such contract to
the date of delivery of such funds to the Trustee;

hereby restated as of the Closing Date and shall survive the
engagement of the Company to perform the servicing responsibilities
hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Company and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Master Servicer. Upon discovery by either the Company, 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 Company 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 Company of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 3.01 which materially and adversely affects the ability of the
Company to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or
otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Loans, the
Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such
Mortgaged Property, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to
cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot
be cured, the Company shall, at the Master Servicer's option, assign
the Company's rights and obligations under this Agreement (or
respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor servicer
selected by the Master Servicer with the prior consent and approval of
the Trustee. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with Section
12.01.

harmless against any costs resulting from any claim, demand, defense
or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of
the Company's representations and warranties contained in this

the Trust Fund and the Trustee respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties.

section and replacing it with the following:
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Company 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 Company'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 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.
(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 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.
16. Section 4.04 (Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account) is hereby
amended as follows:
the words "in trust for the Purchaser of Conventional Residential
Conventional Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors" in
the fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of the first
paragraph shall be replaced by the following: "in trust for SARM
2005-23 Trust Fund and various Mortgagors".

amended by replacing the words from the word "Purchaser" in the sixth line
of clause (ii) to the end of such clause (ii) with the following:
the Trust Fund; provided however, that in the event that the
Company determines in good faith that any unreimbursed Monthly
Advances will not be recoverable from amounts representing late
recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the
particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Monthly Advance was made or
from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such
Mortgage 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;
A-5
18. Section 4.06 (Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account) shall be
amended by deleting the words "Purchaser of Conventional Residential
Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors" in the fifth line of the first
sentence of the first paragraph, and replacing it with the following:
"in trust for SARM 2005-23 Trust Fund and various Mortgagors."
19. Section 4.15 (Maintenance of LPMI Policy; Claims) is hereby amended by
adding the following sentence to the end of paragraph (a):
The Servicer will notify the Master Servicer or Xxxxxx Brothers
Holdings in the event that the LPMI Policy is terminated.
20. Section 4.16 (Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property) is hereby
amended by (i) replacing the reference to "one year" in the seventh line of
the third paragraph thereof with "three years" and (ii) adding two new
paragraphs after the fourth 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
Company 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 Company 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 Company has received such an extension, then the
Company 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 Company has not
received such an extension and the Company 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
Company has received such an extension, and the Company is unable to
sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the
close of the Extended Period, the Company 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 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.
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 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-6
(iii) replacing the word "advances" in the sixth line of the fifth
paragraph thereof with "Monthly Advances", and (iv) by adding the following
to the end of such Section:
Prior to acceptance by the Company of an offer to sell any REO
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 Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO
Property unless the Master Servicer notifies the Company in
writing, within five (5) days after its receipt of the related
Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the related sale, in which
case the Company shall not proceed with such sale.
21. Section 5.01 (Remittances) is hereby amended by adding the following after
the second paragraph of such Section:
All remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer
shall be made to the following wire account or to such other

time:

Servicer executed copies of the custodial and escrow account letter
agreements pursuant to Sections 4.04 and 4.06 within 30 days of the
Closing Date.
Not later than the tenth calendar day of each month, the Company
shall furnish to the Master Servicer an electronic file providing loan
level accounting data for the period ending on the last Business Day

Company and the Master Servicer. The information required by Exhibit
E-1 and Exhibit E-2 is limited to that which is readily available to
the Company and is mutually agreed to by the Company and Master
Servicer.
23. Section 9.01 (Indemnification; Third Party Claims) is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
The Company shall indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer and hold each of them harmless against any and all

Simultaneously with the termination of the Company's

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 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.
A-9
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.
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.
A-10
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.
