AGREEMENT
1. As it applies to the Securities issued pursuant to the Trust
Agreements, Section 2.03 of the Standard Terms, as modified by the Trust
Agreements, is further amended by adding the following new subsection (k):
(k) 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(k) (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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
