Original Agreement), without recourse, subject to
-2-

the following sentence, but subject to the terms of this
Agreement, (i) all right, title and interest of the Seller in
and to the Excess Yield and the Servicing Rights with respect
to the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loans as of the
Second Pool Additional Conventional Loan Cut-Off Date, and
(ii) all of the Seller's rights under the PEC Sub-Servicing

Additional Conventional Loan that thereafter becomes a
Delinquent Loan (as defined in the Original Agreement);
provided, however, that the Seller's liability pursuant to
this sentence shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the product
of (i) 0.025 and (ii) the aggregate "Cut-Off Date Principal
Balance" of the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loans as
set forth on Exhibit A (such product, the "Recourse Limit").
(b) On the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loan Closing
Date, the Purchaser does hereby (to the extent that the
following have not already been conveyed to the Purchaser
under the Original Agreement), (i) accept assignment of all
right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Excess

terms of this Agreement, all obligations of the Seller with
respect to the Servicing Rights and the PEC Sub-Servicing
Agreement relating to the Second Pool Additional Conventional
Loans as of the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loan
Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that the Purchaser expressly
does not assume any liability relating to or in any way
arising out of the foregoing obligations prior to the Second
Pool Additional Conventional Loan Cut-Off Date.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding the
servicing provisions contained in the Original Agreement, for
the period beginning on the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loan Closing Date and ending on the Servicing
Termination Date, the Seller shall service the Second Pool
Additional Conventional Loans pursuant to the revised
Servicing Addendum, attached hereto as Exhibit F, as described
in Article VII hereof.
(d) From and after the Second Pool Additional Conventional
Loan Closing Date, and notwithstanding the fact that certain
documents, files, records or other information which comprise

premises until the Servicing Termination Date or thereafter,
(i) the Seller's right to service the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loans shall absolutely and irrevocably terminate
(subject to Article VII hereof) and (ii) the Seller shall have
no property, contract,
-3-

possessory or other right, title or interest of any nature
whatsoever in or to the Servicing Rights (including any such
documents, files, records or other information at the Seller's
premises, all of which shall be the sole property of the
Purchaser) or the Excess Yield with respect to the Second Pool
Additional Conventional Loans. The Purchaser and Seller agree
that no termination fee, liquidated damages or any other fee
or monies triggered by the termination of the Seller's right
to service the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loans shall
be payable to the Servicer as a result of the termination of
such servicing and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, it being expressly understood that the payment of
the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loan Purchase Price by
the Purchaser shall constitute, in and of itself, the full
consideration payable to the Seller for its sale of the Excess
Yield and the Servicing Rights with respect to the Second Pool
Additional Conventional Loans and the other transactions
contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Seller shall
be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee as and when
contemplated by the Original Agreement, as modified by Exhibit
F, with respect to its servicing of the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loans for the Purchaser for the period from the
Second Pool Additional Conventional Loan Cut-Off Date until
the Servicing Termination Date.
i) Section 2.03 Intention of the Parties.
It is the express intention of the parties hereto that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Original Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of rights
and interests relating to the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the
rights and interests relating to the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event
that the Second Pool Additional Conventional Loans and other
rights transferred under this Agreement are held to be
property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in the Second
Pool Additional Conventional Loans and related rights then it
is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and the Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of
Seller's right, title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to the Second Pool Additional
Conventional Loans; (b) the possession by the Purchaser of the
related Notes or such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper
shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party", or
possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such
secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of any
applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitations,
Section 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321
-4-
5
thereof); (c) notifications to persons holding such property,
and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest
under applicable law; and (d) for purposes of this Agreement
and the Pricing Letter, "Loan Documents' shall include UCC-1
financing statements in form acceptable for filing in the
applicable jurisdictions in which are located the principal
place of business and the executive offices of the Seller and
executed by the Seller in favor of the Purchaser.
j) ARTICLE IV PURCHASER DISPOSITION
The Purchaser and the Seller understand that the
Purchaser shall have the right to sell the Second Pool
Additional Conventional Loans in whole or in part in its
discretion on a servicing released or servicing retained
basis. The Seller shall not be entitled to receive any
additional payments in connection with such a disposition.

and the Servicing Rights with respect to the Second Pool
Additional Conventional Loans, shall take place on the

immediately available federal funds to the account

PEC Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to the Second
Pool Additional Conventional Loans on such terms and
conditions as shall be acceptable to the Purchaser in
its sole discretion, including without limitation

ability to terminate PEC as subservicer of the PEC

the Purchaser of evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser that this Amendment has
been executed and delivered by the Seller.
4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the
parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.
