W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX CAPITAL I INC. TRUST 2002 - HE1 (the
"Trust") was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement identified
on Schedule 1.1.A hereto (as amended from time to time, the "Servicing
Agreement") among Depositor, Servicer and Trustee;

WHEREAS, Provident desires to resign as a Servicer pursuant to Section
6.04 of the Servicing Agreement and have Xxxxxx appointed as a successor
Servicer in accordance with provisions of that Section;
WHEREAS, the Trustee and the Depositor desire to accept the resignation of
Provident as Servicer, and acknowledge the succession of Xxxxxx to Provident as

Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Provident and Xxxxxx desire to amend the Servicing Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof to better effectuate the replacement of the
Servicer as provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Resignation, Assignment and Appointment of Servicer. (a) Provident
hereby (i) proposes that Xxxxxx be appointed as a successor Servicer to
Provident under the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (if
any), (ii) resigns from its duties as a Servicer under the Servicing Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents (if any), effective on the Closing Date, and
(iii) irrevocably assigns and otherwise conveys to Xxxxxx, effective on the
Closing Date, all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all of its
rights as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (if any).
(b) The parties hereto, subject to the requirements of Section 5 hereof,
hereby consent to the resignation of Provident as Servicer and the appointment
of Xxxxxx as a Servicer to replace Provident, and find such appointment to be
acceptable and hereby acknowledge that pursuant to Sections 6.04 and 10.01 of
the Servicing Agreement, Xxxxxx has been designated as a Servicer under the
Transaction Documents for all purposes from and after the Closing Date. Neither
the Trustee nor the Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility or
obligation for any act or omission of the predecessor Servicer. Subject to the
terms of the Servicing Agreement, as clarified below (including without
limitation any indemnification obligations contained in Sections 6.05 and 8.12
thereof and the standards of care set forth in Section 3.01(a) thereof, as
clarified below, which the parties hereto expressly agree shall survive
Provident's resignation as Servicer with respect to any actions or omissions by
Provident prior to the Closing Date), from and after the Closing Date, Provident
shall be released from and shall have no further obligations as Servicer under
the Transaction Documents. For purposes of clarity, the language contained in
Section 3.01(a) of the Servicing Agreement to the effect that (a) each Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of
the Servicing Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans, and, to the extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans and (b) the Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable
state and federal law shall be deemed to require that, in the context of the
transfer of servicing effectuated by this Agreement (and in order to be in
strict compliance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement), each of
Provident and Xxxxxx, severally, shall be required (i) to take such actions in
connection with such servicing transfer as are required by applicable state and
federal law and (ii) subject to clause (i), to conduct itself in connection with
such transfer in a manner consistent with the standards and practices usually
employed by it in effecting servicing transfers of mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans, giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of
practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers engaged in servicing transfers
of servicing obligations related to mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage
Loans.
Additionally, each of Provident and Xxxxxx shall: (A) reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor and the Trustee in connection with the Trust's satisfying the
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and (B) provide the information, letters, reports, and/or certifications
required to be provided by a Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.22, 3.23 and 8.12
of the Servicing Agreement; in each case, with respect to the periods during
which Provident or Xxxxxx, as applicable, served or is serving as Servicer.
(c) Xxxxxx hereby (i) accepts the assignment of rights as a Servicer by
Provident, (ii) accepts the appointment as Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (if any), and (iii) assumes and
agrees to discharge the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case, from and
after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, upon appointment hereunder,
Xxxxxx shall assume the responsibilities, obligations and duties of a Servicer
under the Servicing Agreement and other Transaction Documents.
(d) Promptly following the Closing Date, each account that, pursuant to
the terms of the Transaction Documents, is required to be established and
maintained by the Servicer shall thereafter be moved to and maintained by the
Successor Servicer at Wachovia Bank National Association; provided, however,
that such accounts shall continue to be required to satisfy all requirements for
such accounts under the Transaction Documents. This Agreement shall be deemed to
satisfy the requirements of Section 3.10(b) of the Servicing Agreement.
2. Amendments to Servicing Agreement. Effective as of the Closing Date,
the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Article I of the Servicing Agreement is hereby amended to add the

"(ii) an institution approved as a Title II Nonsupervised Lender by
the Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has
deposit accounts insured by the FDIC."
(c) Section 10.07 of the Servicing Agreement is amended as follows:
(i) The first sentence of Section 10.07 is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be
assigned by a Servicer without the prior written consent of the
Trustee and the Depositor; provided, however, each Servicer is
hereby authorized to enter into an Advance Facility which complies
with Section 10.07(b) or Section 10.07(c), as applicable.
(b) Each Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into an Advance
Facility under which (1) the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to
an Advancing Person the Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be
reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an
Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement."
(ii) The remaining portion of existing Section 10.07 shall continue to

immediately following the first sentence of clause (b) described

(iii) A new clause (c) is added to Section 10.07 of the Servicing
Agreement, immediately following the last sentence of existing
Section 10.07, which shall read in its entirety as follows:
"(c) For so long as Xxxxxx is a Servicer hereunder, Xxxxxx is hereby
also authorized to enter into an Advance Facility that complies
with the requirements of this Section 10.07(c) in lieu of the
requirements of Section 10.07(b). The requirements are as follows:
(i) Xxxxxx is hereby authorized to enter into an Advance
Facility, the documentation for which complies with Sections
10.07(c)(ii), (iii) and (v) below, under which (A) Xxxxxx assigns or
pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or
all P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (1) a Person, which
may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (2) a
Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an
SPV or (3) a lender (a "Lender"), which, in the case of any Person
or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (1)
or (2), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,
assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a
trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or
(B) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all of the P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by Xxxxxx
pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee,
Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before
Xxxxxx may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or
the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any
obligation of an Advance Financing Person to Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding
the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, (A) Xxxxxx (1) shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to
and as required by this Agreement and (2) shall not be relieved of
such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither
the Advance Financing Person nor the Xxxxxx Assignee (as hereinafter
defined) shall have (1) any right to proceed against or otherwise
contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that
may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing
any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
documents or (2) any rights under or in respect of this Agreement
that are any greater than the rights of Xxxxxx hereunder.
(ii) If Xxxxxx enters into an Advance Facility, Xxxxxx and the
related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the
address set forth in Section 10.05 hereof a written notice (an
"Advance Facility Notice"), stating (A) the identity of the Advance
Financing Person, (B) the identity of the Person (the "Xxxxxx
Assignee") that will, subject to satisfaction of the requirements in
Section 10.07(c)(iii) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof to
reimburse previously xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and/or Servicing
Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and (C) that the Advance
Financing Person and the Xxxxxx Assignee have each been provided
with copies of this Agreement, including this Section 10.07(c) and
agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.07(c) and
acknowledges that its rights may be exercised only as provided, and
subject to the conditions, herein. The Advance Facility Notice shall
be executed by the Advance Financing Person, Xxxxxx and the Xxxxxx
Assignee. Advance Reimbursement Amounts (A) shall consist solely of
amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances for
which Xxxxxx would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance
with Section 3.11 hereof, assuming Xxxxxx had made the related P&I
Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (B) shall not consist of
amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section
3.11 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 10.07(v) below.
(iii) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility,
Xxxxxx, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person, shall be entitled
to continue to withdraw Advance Reimbursement Amounts in accordance
with Section 3.11 hereof. Litton's entitlement to withdraw Advance
Reimbursement Amounts may be terminated by the Advance Financing
Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee delivered in the
manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon receipt of a written
notice of termination that satisfies the requirements of this
Section 10.07(c)(iii), Xxxxxx shall no longer be entitled to
withdraw Advance Reimbursement Amounts from the Collection Account
and the Xxxxxx Assignee shall thereafter have the right to withdraw
from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts when
and to the extent such amounts are payable to Xxxxxx pursuant to the
terms of Section 3.11 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for
the avoidance of doubt, (A) Xxxxxx and/or the Xxxxxx Assignee shall
only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts
hereunder pursuant to Section 3.11 of this Agreement and shall be
required to return to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, all amounts, with interest, withdrawn by it in
error or that are in excess of Litton's entitlement thereto under
this Agreement, and shall not otherwise be entitled to make
withdrawals of, or receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts that shall
be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.11 or
Section 3.07(d) hereof, and (B) none of the Trustee or the
Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled
to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which Xxxxxx or the
Xxxxxx Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to
Section 3.11 hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the
joint written direction of Xxxxxx and the related Advance Financing
Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the
Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. The Trustee
shall have no duty or liability with respect to the calculation of
any Advance Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely
without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and
on Litton's report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts
and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in
the remittance from Xxxxxx to the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.03(d). Xxxxxx shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer
a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced
by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing
Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such
information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor
Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(iv) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or
pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or
whose obligations are limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be
required to meet the criteria for qualification as a Sub-Servicer.
(v) As between Xxxxxx and its Advance Financing Person, on the
one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person,
if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a
loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which a
P&I Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be
outstanding shall be allocated on a "first-in, first out" (FIFO)
basis. In the event the Xxxxxx Assignee shall have received some or
all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than
Xxxxxx or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then the
Xxxxxx Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such
Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion
of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Xxxxxx shall remain entitled to be
reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances funded by Xxxxxx to the extent the related
Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to
such Advance Financing Person the Xxxxxx Assignee.
(vi) For purposes of Section 4.01(d) hereof, any
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance
referred to therein may have been made by Xxxxxx or any predecessor
Servicer. In making its determination that any P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, Xxxxxx shall apply the
same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether
such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by Xxxxxx
or any predecessor Servicer.
(vii) The Trustee shall not, as a result of the existence of
any Advance Facility, have any additional responsibility to track or
monitor Advance Reimbursement Amounts or any Advance Facility, and,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, is not and shall not
be obligated to make any payment with respect to any Advance
Reimbursement Amount. Xxxxxx hereby indemnifies the Trustee, the
Trust Fund and any successor Servicer, as applicable, from and
against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from
any claim by the related Advance Financing Person, except to the
extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or
arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the
part of the Trustee or the successor Servicer, or failure by the
successor Servicer or the Trustee to remit funds as required by this
Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the
successor Servicer or the Trustee, and the passage of any applicable
cure or grace period, such that a Servicer Event of Termination
under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination
for cause under this Agreement.
(viii) Any amendment to this Section 10.07(c) or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to
effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in
this Section 10.07(c), including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the
Trustee, the Depositor, and Xxxxxx, without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that
such amendment has no material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders or written confirmation from the Rating Agencies
that such amendment will not adversely affect the ratings on the
Certificates."
(d) Section 6.02 of the Servicing Agreement shall be amended by adding the
following paragraph at the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph of
Section 6.02, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
acknowledge and agree that the Successor Servicer is a limited
partnership formed under the laws of Delaware. Successor Servicer

franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of
Delaware and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business in each jurisdiction in which it is or shall be necessary
to protect the validity and enforceability of the Agreement or any
of the Mortgage Loans or to perform its respective duties under the
Agreement, as modified from time to time."
(e) From and after the Closing Date, all references in the Servicing
Agreement and the Transaction Documents to a "Servicer" shall include Xxxxxx as
a Servicer and all references to "Provident" or to the "The Provident Bank"
shall be deemed to be references to "Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP" until such time,

applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents.
