adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Xxxxxx Capital and the Servicer
hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and defined in this Agreement,

(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

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

company has no long-term debt, whose claims paying ability is rated

and whose short-term debt is rated by each Rating Agency in its
highest rating category;
(b) provide that the Servicer may exercise all of the rights
under such contract or surety bond without the necessity of taking
any action by any other Person;
(c) provide that if at any time the then current credit
standing of the obligor under such guaranteed investment contract is

entitled to the return 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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4.02, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer 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 Servicer. Upon
completion of the inspection, the Servicer 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 Servicer shall not proceed with
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with
respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. 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 Servicer shall not, without the prior approval of the
Trustee, proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure. In such instance, the Trustee shall be deemed to have
approved such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure unless the Trustee notifies the Servicer 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
Servicer, that it disapproves of the related foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the Servicer shall
be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 4.05 hereof. The Servicer shall be reimbursed for all
Servicing Advances made pursuant to this paragraph with respect to
the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account.
11. Section 5.02 (Statements to Purchaser) is hereby amended by replacing the
reference to "Remittance Date" with "fifth Business Day of each month".
12. The parties hereto acknowledge that Section 8.01 (Provision of
Information) and Section 8.02 (Financial Statements; Servicing
Facilities) are inapplicable to this Agreement.
13. Section 9.04 (Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Company) is
hereby amended as follows:
(a) The first paragraph of such Section is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
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 not be unreasonably withheld;
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.
14. The parties hereto acknowledge that the word "Purchaser" in Section 10.02
(Waiver of Defaults) shall refer to the "Master Servicer with the prior
consent of the Trustee."
15. Sections 11.01 (Termination) and 11.02 (Termination Without Cause) are
hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
Section 11.01 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 Trust Fund (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, Xxxxxx
Capital and the Master Servicer in writing or (iii) at the sole
option of the Xxxxxx Capital, 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.
In connection with any such termination referred to in clause
(ii) or (iii) above, Xxxxxx Capital 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.
Upon the termination of servicing without cause hereunder,
Xxxxxx Capital shall pay to the Servicer a termination fee equal to
1.50% of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loans in
which the servicing is being terminated.
Notwithstanding any such termination as Servicer, First
Nationwide Mortgage Corporation shall nonetheless continue to be
entitled to receive Retained Yield and Prepayment Fees as provided
in this Agreement.
16. Section 12.01 (Successor to the Company) is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to
Sections 9.04, 10.01 or 11.01, the Master Servicer shall (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 (iii) 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, Xxxxxx Capital, the Trustee and each applicable Rating
Agency. 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 Capital, 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
Article III shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any
such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any such termination as Servicer,
First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation shall nonetheless continue to
be entitled to receive Retained Yield and Prepayment Fees as
provided in this Agreement.
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 transfer of
servicing. 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 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 Section 11.01
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.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
transfer of servicing hereunder (whether as a result of termination
or removal of the Servicer with cause or resignation of the
Servicer), 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.
17. 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 on behalf of
the Trust Fund 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.
