AGREEMENT
As it applies to the Securities issued pursuant to the Trust

Agreements, is further amended by adding the following new subsection (l):
(l) Purchase of Delinquent Mortgage Loans.
The Holder of the entire Security Principal Balance of the
Class B Securities (the "Class B Holder"), at its option, may
purchase, on any date during a Prepayment Period, (i) any
Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more
and that is in default or with respect to which default is
reasonably foreseeable, or (ii) any Mortgage Loan with respect
to which there has been initiated legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Premises
either judicially or non-judicially. The Class B Holder shall
purchase any such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a price
equal to its outstanding principal balance plus any accrued
but unpaid interest thereon at its Note Rate through the
Accounting Date preceding the Distribution Date. Promptly
following any such purchase, the Class B Holder shall furnish
a written report to the Rating Agencies indicating the number
and aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Mortgage Loans
repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03(l)(collectively, the
"Purchased Loans"). In addition, the Class B Holder shall
furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Rating Agencies
rating the Securities on a monthly basis a written report
indicating (i) the aggregate principal balances of the
Purchased Loans, (ii) as to each Purchased Loan, whether it is
30 days, 60 days, 90 days or more delinquent, in foreclosure
or converted to REO property, (iii) all losses on account of
the Purchased Loans, as of the current reporting period and on
a cumulative basis since the date of purchase of the Purchased
Loans.
I. This Amendment to Trust Agreements may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each such counterpart when executed and delivered shall be an
original and all such counterparts together shall be one and the same document.
II. This Amendment to Trust Agreements shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia applicable to
agreements made and to be performed therein.
