parties hereto agree that the provisions of the SWSA, as so modified, are and
shall be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if set forth herein in

and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Eligible Investments: Any one or more of the obligations and
securities listed below which investment provides for a date
of maturity not later than the Determination Date in each
month:
(i) direct obligations of, and obligations fully
guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by,

of the United States of America the obligations of which are

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

obligation rated by each Rating Agency in its highest
short-term rating category;
(iv) securities bearing interest or sold at a

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;

faith and credit of the United States of America) held by a
custodian in safekeeping on behalf of the holders of such
receipts; and
(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 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

under such contract or surety bond without the necessity of

of the Servicer, the Servicer shall terminate such contract
without penalty and be 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 Trustee;

and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 (a) through (h) and
(k) are 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.

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

Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on

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.

own funds) the Trustee, the Trust Fund and Master Servicer and
hold each of them 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 Agreement. It

the Company to cure such breach within the applicable cure
period, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Trustee or
the Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.

such 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. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of
itself and the Purchasers, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
(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

following: "in trust for SARM 2006-1 Trust Fund and various
Mortgagors".
A-5
17. Section 4.05 (Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account) is hereby
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;
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 2006-1 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇

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.
A-6
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.
(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

shall, in 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

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.
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.
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.
