Mortgage Securities
Corp., as purchaser (the "Purchaser"), and Eurohypo AG, New York
Branch, as
seller (the "Seller").
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement not defined herein
shall

as of July 1, 2007 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") among
the Purchaser,
as depositor (the "Depositor"), Wachovia Bank, National
Association, as master
servicer (the "Master Servicer"), CWCapital Asset Management
LLC, as special
servicer (the "Special Servicer"), and LaSalle Bank National
Association, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to which the Purchaser will
sell the Mortgage
Loans (as defined herein) to a trust fund and certificates
representing
ownership interests in the Mortgage Loans will be issued by the
trust fund. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Mortgage Loans" refers to
the mortgage
loans listed on Exhibit A and the term "Mortgaged Properties"
refers to the
properties securing such Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser and the Seller wish to prescribe the manner of
sale of
the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser and in
consideration of the
premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, agree
as follows:
SECTION 1. Sale and Conveyance of Mortgages; Possession of
Mortgage
File. Effective as of the Closing Date and upon receipt of the
purchase price
set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Seller
does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse
(subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided
in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted
thereunder and that
certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the
Closing Date
between the Master Servicer and the Seller) all of its right,
title, and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans including all interest and
principal
received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the
Cut-off Date (other
than payments of principal and interest first due on the
Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-off Date). Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans,
the ownership of
each related Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the other contents
of the related
Mortgage File will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately
thereafter the
Trustee and the ownership of records and documents with respect
to the related
Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of
the Seller (other
than the records and documents described in the proviso to
Section 3(a) hereof)
shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately
thereafter the Trustee.
The Seller's records will accurately reflect the sale of each
Mortgage Loan to
the Purchaser. The Depositor will sell the Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-2FL,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class A-1A, Class X, Class
A-M, Class A-J,
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates (the
"Offered
Certificates") to the underwriters (the "Underwriters")
specified in the
underwriting agreement dated June 28, 2007 (the "Underwriting
Agreement")
between the Depositor and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMSI")
for itself and
as representative of the several underwriters identified
therein, and the
Depositor will sell the Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K,
Class L, Class M,
Class N, Class P, Class Q, Class T and Class NR Certificates
(the "Private
Certificates") to JPMSI and UBS Securities LLC, the initial
purchasers (together
with the Underwriters, the "Dealers") specified in the
certificate purchase
agreement dated June 28 2007 (the "Certificate Purchase
Agreement"), between the
Depositor and JPMSI for itself and as representative of the
initial purchasers
identified therein.
The sale and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans is being conducted
on
an arms length basis and upon commercially reasonable terms. As
the purchase
price for the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall pay to the
Seller or at the
Seller's direction in immediately available funds the sum of
$592,237,188.16
(which amount is inclusive of accrued interest and exclusive of
the Seller's pro
rata share of the costs set forth in Section 9 hereof). The
purchase and sale of
the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the Closing Date.
SECTION 2. Books and Records; Certain Funds Received After
the
Cut-off Date. From and after the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser,
record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note
shall be transferred
to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement. Any funds due
after the
Cut-off Date in connection with a Mortgage Loan received by the
Seller shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner of
such Mortgage Loan
and shall be transferred promptly to the Master Servicer. All
scheduled payments
of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but
collected after
the Cut-off Date, and recoveries of principal and interest
collected on or
before the Cut-off Date (only in respect of principal and
interest on the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date and principal
prepayments
thereon), shall belong to, and shall be promptly remitted to,
the Seller.
The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the
Seller's balance sheets and other financial statements as a sale
of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller intends to
treat the transfer
of each Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser as a sale for tax
purposes.
The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the
Purchaser's balance sheets and other financial statements as a
purchase of the
Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser from the Seller. The Purchaser
intends to treat
the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from the Seller as a purchase
for tax
purposes.
SECTION 3. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents; Additional Costs
and
Expenses. (a) The Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the
Seller hereby
agrees, upon the transfer of the Mortgage Loans contemplated
herein, to deliver
on the Closing Date to the Trustee or a Custodian appointed
thereby, all
documents, instruments and agreements required to be delivered
by the Purchaser
to the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans under Sections
2.01(b) and
2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and meeting all
the requirements
of such Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), and such other documents,
instruments and
agreements as the Purchaser or the Trustee shall reasonably
request. In
addition, the Seller agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Master
Servicer, the Servicing File for each Mortgage Loan transferred
pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not be required to
deliver any draft
documents, or any attorney client communications which are
privileged
communications or constitute legal or other due diligence
analyses, or internal
communications of the Seller or its affiliates, or credit
underwriting or other
analyses or data.
(b) With respect to the transfer described in Section 1 hereof,
if
the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor
to pay any
costs and expenses relating to any modifications to a related
letter of credit
which modifications are required to effectuate such transfer
(the "Transfer
Modification Costs"), then the Seller shall pay the Transfer
Modification Costs
required to transfer the letter of credit to the Trustee as
described in such
Section 1; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents require
the related
Mortgagor to pay any Transfer Modification Costs, such Transfer
Modification
Costs shall be an expense of the Mortgagor unless such Mortgagor
fails to pay
such Transfer Modification Costs after the Master Servicer has
exercised all
remedies available under the Mortgage Loan documents to collect
such Transfer
Modification Costs from such Mortgagor, in which case the Master
Servicer shall
give the Seller notice of such failure and the amount of such
Transfer
Modification costs and the Seller shall pay such Transfer
Modification Costs.
SECTION 4. Treatment as a Security Agreement. The Seller,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, has
conveyed to the
Purchaser, all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans.
The parties intend that such conveyance of the Seller's right,
title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement
shall
constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If such
conveyance is deemed to
be a pledge and not a sale, then the parties also intend and
agree that the
Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and in such event does
hereby grant, to
the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of its
right, title and
interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of
principal or
interest on such Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all
other payments
made in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date
(except to the
extent such payments were due on or before the Cut-off Date) and
all proceeds
thereof and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under
applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and
not a sale, the
Seller consents to the Purchaser hypothecating and transferring
such security
interest in favor of the Trustee and transferring the obligation
secured thereby
to the Trustee.
SECTION 5. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller covenants with
the
Purchaser as follows:
(a) it shall record or cause a third party to record in the
appropriate public recording office for real property the
intermediate
assignments of the Mortgage Loans and the Assignments of
Mortgage from the
Seller to the Trustee in connection with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
All recording fees relating to the initial recordation of such
intermediate
assignments and Assignments of Mortgage shall be paid by the
Seller;
(b) it shall take any action reasonably required by the
Purchaser,
the Trustee or the Master Servicer, in order to assist and
facilitate in the
transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the Master
Servicer,
including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit
with respect to any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (in care of the Master Servicer)
for the benefit of
Certificateholders. Prior to the date that a letter of credit,
if any, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Trustee (in
care of the
Master Servicer), the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable
requests of the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in
connection with
effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required
under the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan documents;
(c) if, during such period of time after the first date of
the
public offering of the Offered Certificates as in the opinion of
counsel for the
Underwriters, a prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates
is required by
applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales thereof
by an
Underwriter or a Dealer, any event shall occur as a result of
which it is
necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus Supplement,
including Annexes
A-1, A-2, A-3 and B thereto and the Diskette included therewith,
with respect to
any information relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Seller, in
order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when
the Prospectus
Supplement is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it
is necessary to
amend or supplement the Prospectus Supplement, including Annexes
A-1, A-2, A-3
and B thereto and the Diskette included therewith, with respect
to any
information relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Seller, to
comply with
applicable law, the Seller shall do all things necessary to
assist the Depositor
to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Seller (to the
extent that such
amendment or supplement relates to the Seller, the Mortgage
Loans listed on
Exhibit A and/or any information relating to the same, as
provided by the
Seller), to the Underwriters such amendments or supplements to
the Prospectus
Supplement as may be necessary, so that the statements in the
Prospectus
Supplement as so amended or supplemented, including Annexes A-1,
A-2, A-3 and B
thereto and the Diskette included therewith, with respect to any
information
relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Seller, will not, in the
light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is so amended or supplemented,
be misleading
or so that the Prospectus Supplement, including Annexes A-1,
A-2, A-3 and B
thereto and the Diskette included therewith, with respect to any
information
relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Seller, will comply with
applicable law.
All terms used in this clause (c) and not otherwise defined
herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, dated as
of June 28,
2007 between the Purchaser and the Seller (the "Indemnification
Agreement"); and

Loan or any
Serviced Securitized Companion Loan that is deposited into an
Other
Securitization or a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization,
the depositor
in such Other Securitization or Regulation AB Companion Loan
Securitization) and
the Trustee with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and any

entering
into this Agreement or (B) paid in full any such commission
or
compensation (except with respect to any servicer of a Mortgage

of, or
constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the

(c) The Seller further makes the representations and warranties
as
to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit B as of the Closing
Date (or as of
such other date if specifically provided in the particular
representation or
warranty), which representations and warranties are subject to
the exceptions
thereto set forth in Exhibit C. Neither the delivery by the
Seller of the
Mortgage Files, Servicing Files, or any other documents required
to be delivered
under Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor
the review
thereof or any other due diligence by the Trustee, any Master
Servicer, the
Special Servicer, a Certificate Owner or any other Person shall
relieve the
Seller of any liability or obligation with respect to any
representation or
warranty or otherwise under this Agreement or constitute notice
to any Person of
a Breach or Defect.
(d) Pursuant to this Agreement or Section 2.03(b) of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall be given
notice of any
Breach or Defect that materially and adversely affects the value
of any Mortgage
Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the
interests of the
Trustee or any Certificateholder therein.
(e) Upon notice pursuant to Section 6(d) above, the Seller
shall,
not later than 90 days from the earlier of the Seller's receipt
of the notice
or, in the case of a Defect or Breach relating to a Mortgage
Loan not being a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, but
without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(f)(2) that
causes a defective mortgage loan to be treated as a qualified
mortgage, the
Seller's discovery of such Breach or Defect (the "Initial
Resolution Period"),
(i) cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all
material respects,
(ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Repurchase Price
(as defined below) or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan (as
defined below) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in
no event shall
any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of
the Closing
Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Certificate Account, any
Substitution Shortfall Amount (as defined below) in connection
therewith;
provided, however, except with respect to a Defect resulting
solely from the
failure by the Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the
actual policy
of lender's title insurance required pursuant to clause (ix) of
the definition
of Mortgage File by a date not later than 18 months following
the Closing Date,
if such Breach or Defect is capable of being cured but is not
cured within the
Initial Resolution Period, and the Seller has commenced and is
diligently
proceeding with the cure of such Breach or Defect within the
Initial Resolution
Period, the Seller shall have an additional 90 days commencing
immediately upon
the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period (the "Extended
Resolution
Period") to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to
repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
as described
above); and provided, further, with respect to the Extended
Resolution Period
the Seller shall have delivered an officer's certificate to the
Rating Agencies,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Directing
Certificateholder setting forth the reason such Breach or Defect
is not capable
of being cured within the Initial Resolution Period and what
actions the Seller
is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that
the Seller
anticipates that such Breach or Defect will be cured within the
Extended
Resolution Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or
Breach which
causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage"
(within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, without regard to the rule of
Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) which causes a defective
mortgage loan to be
treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially
and adversely
affect the interests of the holders of the Certificates therein,
and such
Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan
substituted in lieu thereof without regard to the extended cure
period described
in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to
be repurchased,
the Seller shall remit the Repurchase Price (defined below) in
immediately
available funds to the Trustee.
If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty that
the
related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan
document
requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses
associated with
any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan
document(s), then
Seller shall cure such Breach within the applicable cure period
(as the same may
be extended) by reimbursing the Trust Fund (by wire transfer of
immediately
available funds) the reasonable amount of any such costs and
expenses incurred
by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Trust Fund that
are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the
related
Mortgagor; provided, however, in the event any such costs and
expenses exceed
$10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase
or substitute for
the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs
and expenses.
Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, the
Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and
upon its making
such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such
Breach in all
respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the
subject of a cure by
the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor,
the portion of
the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from
the Mortgagor
shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(f) of
the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole
remedy with respect
to any breach of the representation set forth in the second to
last sentence of
clause (32) of Exhibit B hereto shall be payment by the Seller
of such costs and
expenses without respect to the materiality of such breach.
Any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File
to
be deemed to have a Defect and to be conclusively presumed to
materially and
adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a
Mortgage Loan and to
be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of
the
Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the
absence from the
Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the
Mortgage File
contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy
of the Mortgage
Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence
from the Mortgage
File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular
on its face,
unless there is included in the Mortgage File a certified copy
of the Mortgage
and a certificate stating that the original signed Mortgage was
sent for
recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the
lender's title
insurance policy (or if the policy has not yet been issued, an
original or copy
of a "marked up" written commitment or the pro-forma or specimen
title insurance
policy or a commitment to issue the same pursuant to written
escrow instructions
signed by the title insurance company) called for by clause (ix)
of the
definition of "Mortgage File" in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; (d) the
absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit;
(e) with
respect to any leasehold mortgage loan, the absence from the
related Mortgage
File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related
Ground Lease; or
(f) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening
assignments required
to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust,
unless there is included in the Mortgage File a certified copy
of the
intervening assignment and a certificate stating that the
original intervening
assignments were sent for recordation; provided, however, no
Defect (except the
Defects previously described in clauses (a) through (f)) shall
be considered to
materially and adversely affect the value of any Mortgage Loan,
the value of the
related Mortgaged Property, the interests of the Trustee therein
or the
interests of any Certificateholder therein unless the document
with respect to
which the Defect exists is required in connection with an
imminent enforcement
of the Mortgagee's rights or remedies under the related Mortgage
Loan, defending
any claim asserted by any borrower or third party with respect
to the Mortgage
Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any
collateral
securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant
servicing
obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of
executed escrow
instructions or a commitment to issue a lender's title insurance
policy, as
provided in clause (ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File" in
the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, in lieu of the delivery of the actual
policy of lender's
title insurance, shall not be considered a Defect or Breach with
respect to any
Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Trustee
or its Custodian
within 18 months after the Closing Date.
If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or
substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph
of this Section
6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Loan, and (iii) the
applicable Defect
or Breach does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case
may be, as to any
other Crossed Loan in such Crossed Group (without regard to this
paragraph),
then the applicable Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will
be deemed to
constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to each
other Crossed Loan
in the Crossed Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the
Seller will be
required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining
Crossed Loans in
the related Crossed Group as provided in the first paragraph of
this Section
6(e) unless such other Crossed Loans in such Crossed Group
satisfy the Crossed
Loan Repurchase Criteria, and the Mortgage Loan affected by the
applicable
Defect or Breach and the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if
any, satisfy all
other criteria for repurchase or substitution, as applicable, of
Mortgage Loans
set forth herein. In the event that the remaining Crossed Loans
satisfy the
aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to
repurchase or substitute
for only the affected Crossed Loan as to which the related
Breach or Defect
exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed
Loans in the
related Crossed Group. The Seller shall be responsible for the
cost of any
Appraisal required to be obtained by the Master Servicer to
determine if the
Crossed Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as
the scope and
cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such
approval not to be
unreasonably withheld).
To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or
substitute for a Crossed Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed
above while the
Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Loans in such
Crossed Group, neither
the Seller nor the Trustee shall enforce any remedies against
the other's
Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies
against the
Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Loans,
including with respect
to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Loans
still held by the
Trustee.
If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair
the
ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect
to the Primary
Collateral securing the Crossed Loans held by such party, then
the Seller and
the Trustee shall forbear from exercising such remedies until
the Mortgage Loan
documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Loans can
be modified in
a manner that removes the threat of material impairment as a
result of the
exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached.
Any reserve or
other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed
Loans shall be
allocated between such Crossed Loans in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan
documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their
outstanding Stated
Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed
Loan that
remains in the Trust Fund is modified to terminate the related
cross
collateralization and/or cross default provisions, as a
condition to such
modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel that
any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any
expenses incurred
by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or
accommodation
(including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall
be paid by the
Seller.
The "Repurchase Price" with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO
Loan
to be repurchased pursuant to this Agreement and Section 2.03 of
the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning given to the term
"Purchase Price"
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
A "Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan" with respect to any
Mortgage
Loan or REO Loan to be substituted pursuant to this Agreement
and Section 2.03
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning
given to such
term in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
A "Substitution Shortfall Amount" with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
or REO Loan to be substituted pursuant to this Agreement and
Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning given to
such term in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or
more
Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby, (i) the Purchaser shall
execute and deliver,
or cause the execution and delivery of, such endorsements and
assignments,
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller
the legal and
beneficial ownership of each repurchased Mortgage Loan or
replaced Mortgage
Loan, as applicable, (ii) the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause
the delivery, to
the Seller of all portions of the Mortgage File and other
documents (including
the Servicing File) pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed
by the Trustee,
or on the Trustee's behalf, and (iii) the Purchaser shall
release, or cause to
be released, to the Seller any escrow payments and reserve funds
held by the
Trustee, or on the Trustee's behalf, in respect of such
repurchased or replaced
Mortgage Loans.
(f) The representations and warranties of the parties hereto
shall
survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this
Agreement and
shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties,
notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or
assignment of
Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.
(g) Each party hereby agrees to promptly notify the other party
of
any Breach of a representation or warranty contained in this
Section 6. The
Seller's obligation to cure any Breach or Defect or repurchase
or substitute for
the affected Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6(e) herein shall
constitute the
sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a
Breach or Defect
(subject to the last sentence of the second paragraph of Section
6(e)). It is
acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties
are being made
for risk allocation purposes only; provided, however, no
limitation of remedy is
implied with respect to the Seller's breach of its obligation to
cure,
repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this
Agreement.
