      (a)    The term "Indemnified Party" is added as a new defined term in

            Servicer) described in the first sentence of Section 13.07(a)
            hereof."

      (b)    The definition of "Permitted Investments" in Section 1.01 shall
      have the meaning of such term as defined in the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement.

      (c)    The definition of "Remittance Date" in Section 1.01 is hereby
      amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

             "Remittance Date: No later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the
            18th day of each month (or, if such 18th day is not a Business
            Day, the following Business Day)."

      (d)    The definition of "Servicing Criteria" in Section 1.01 is hereby
      amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

            identified on Exhibit 14 attached hereto."

      (e)    The penultimate paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Agreement is
      hereby amended and restated as follows:

                  "With respect to any Mortgage Loans sold in a Securitization
            Transaction where the Servicer remains as the servicer, the
            Servicer agrees that on or before March 1st each year following
            the year such Securitization Transaction occurs, the Servicer
            shall deliver, and shall cause each subservicert to deliver, to
            the depositor and the trustee, a certification in the form
            attached as Exhibit 11 hereto, executed by a senior officer of the
            Servicer in charge of servicing for use in connection with any
            Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
            with respect to the securitization trust. The obligation to
            provide such certification will terminate to the extent the
            related securitization trust's obligation to file reports under
            the Exchange Act, terminates."


      (f)    The second paragraph of Section 5.13 of the Agreement is hereby
      amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "With respect to any REO Property, the Trustee's name shall
            be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee
            hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall
            ensure that the title to such REO Property references the
            Agreement and the Purchaser's (or its designee's) capacity
            thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
            Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the
            Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner
            and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
            Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and
            protection of the interests of the Purchaser, or its designee,
            rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in
            the best interest of the Purchaser, or its designee, for the
            period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall
            prepare for and deliver to the Purchaser, or its designee, a
            statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
            showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses
            incurred in connection with the maintenance of such REO Property
            at such times as is necessary to enable the Purchaser, or its
            designee,


                                       4
<PAGE>


            to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions.
             The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property
            shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the
            close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall
            perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections
            1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
            abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the
            Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from
            individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the
            Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain
            financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns
            as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same
            to the Purchaser, or its designee, for filing.

                  In the event that the Purchaser, or its designee, acquires
            any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection
            with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the
            Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as
            practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds
            thereof, but in no event later than three years after its
            acquisition by the Purchaser, or its designee. In that event, the
            Purchaser, or its designee, shall have been supplied with an
            Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
            Purchaser, or its designee, of such Mortgaged Property subsequent
            to a three-year period, if applicable, will not result in the
            imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC as
             defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to
            qualify as a REMIC at any time, the Purchaser, or its designee,
            may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any
            conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the
            expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other
            provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the
            Purchaser, or its designee, shall be rented (or allowed to
            continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of
            income by or on behalf of the Purchaser, or its designee, in such
            a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such
            Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
            within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii)
            subject any REMIC to the imposition of any federal, state or local
            income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
            under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the
            Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser,
            or its designee, with respect to the imposition of any such
            taxes."

      (g)    The third paragraph of Section 5.13 of the Agreement is hereby
      deleted in its entirety.

      (h)    The first paragraph of Section 6.02 of the Agreement is hereby
      amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

            months delinquent and the book value of any REO Property, or such
            other mortgage loan level data as agreed upon by the Servicer and
            the Master Servicer, and the monthly reports substantially in the
            form of Exhibit 15 attached hereto (or in such other formats

            Servicer). Such monthly reports shall be available by the Servicer

            Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (b)
            to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
            Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement
            throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
            fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
            known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the
            action being taken by the Servicer to cure such default."

      (j)    Section 7.05 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
      its entirety as follows:

            "Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. On or
            before March 1st of each year beginning March 1, 2006, the
            Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public
            accountants which is a member of the American Institute of

            examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of
            the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
            stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto."

      (k)    Section 9.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended to insert the
      following as the penultimate paragraph of such Section:

            the Master Servicer and each of its directors, officers,

            information, data or materials provided by the Servicer hereunder,

            Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. If the

            result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by
            the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to
            reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand
            and the Servicer on the other."
