SECTION 3.

Loan Schedules .

The Seller shall deliver the Loan Schedule for a Loan Package to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date in both hard copy and electronic format.

SECTION 4.

Purchase Price .

The Purchase Price for each Loan listed on the related Loan Schedule shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Confirmation (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by its Stated Principal Balance as of the related Cut-off Date. If so provided in the related Confirmation, the Loans or portions of the Loans in each Loan Package shall be priced separately.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Initial Purchaser shall pay the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each Loan as of the related Cut-off Date at its Net Loan Rate from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, both inclusive and (ii) the Seller shall pay to the Initial Purchaser the costs and fees expected to be associated with the recording of an Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each Loan (such amount may be set forth in the related Confirmation).

The Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive with respect to each Loan purchased, (1) all scheduled principal due after the related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Loans net of the Servicing Fee minus that portion of any such interest payment that is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date. The Stated Principal Balance of each Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application to the reduction of principal of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, for the purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus the applicable Servicing Fee) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser, for remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser on the first related Distribution Date. All payments of principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date following the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.

Such examination may be made by the Initial Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before the related Closing Date. If the Initial Purchaser makes such examination prior to the related Closing Date and identifies any Loans that do not conform to the terms of the related Confirmation or the Seller’s underwriting standards, such Loans may, at the Initial Purchaser’s option, be rejected for purchase by the Initial Purchaser. If not purchased by the Initial Purchaser, such Loans shall be deleted from the related Loan Schedule. The Initial Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of any Loan Package without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Initial Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Loan Files shall not affect the Initial Purchaser’s (or any of its successors’) rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.

Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser .

Subsection 6.01.

Conveyance of Loans; Possession of Servicing Files .

The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04.

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Loan, the Seller agrees that on or prior to each Closing Date it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS System to indicate that the related Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including in such computer files the information required by the MERS System to identify the Purchaser as owner of such Loans.

Subsection 6.02.

Books and Records .

Record title to each Note and the related Mortgage as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Note and the related Mortgage shall be vested solely in the Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on or in connection with a Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the sale of each Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial statements.

Subsection 6.03.

Delivery of Loan Documents .

The Seller shall use its best efforts to provide within 180 days following the related Closing Date the original of any document submitted for recordation promptly upon return of such document from the applicable recording office and in no event later than 270 days following the related Closing Date, or in the case of an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension pursuant to the preceding paragraph, 270 days following the date of submission of such document to the applicable recording office for recordation.  The Seller shall use its best efforts to provide within 180 days following the related Closing Date an original mortgagee title insurance policy meeting the requirements of this Agreement promptly upon the issuance thereof and in no event later than 270 days following the related Closing Date.  To the extent that the Seller fails to provide any such original document within the time period set forth herein, such failure shall be deemed a material breach of a representation and warranty in Subsection 7.02 hereof and the Purchaser may demand, and shall have the right to, a remedy for such breach pursuant to Subsection 7.03 hereof (it being understood that any cure period set forth in Subsection 7.03 shall be deemed to have expired).

(ii)

The Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Loan Package as set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct;

The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Borrower has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Loan Schedule;

(vi)

The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note and the Mortgage or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(x)

The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

(xi)

The Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

Subsection 7.03.

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties .

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Loan File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within eighty-five (85) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Loan or the Loans, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 and such breach cannot be cured within 75 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Loan, rather than repurchase the Loan as provided above, remove such Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans; provided that such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Loan. Any repurchase of a Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Distribution Date.  It is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.02 (xl), (xli), (xliv), (xlv), (l), (li), (liii), (lix) or (lxii) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

At the time of repurchase of any deficient Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the repurchased Loan. In the event the Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase the related Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Loan from this Agreement.

As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied by the percentage of par set forth in the definition of “Repurchase Price” shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to such amount.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.
