MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Pursuant to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement dated as of
August 1,
2007 (the "Agreement"), between Citigroup Global Markets Realty
Corp. (together
with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the
"Seller") and CWCapital
Commercial Funding Corp. (together with its successors and
permitted assigns
hereunder, the "Purchaser"), the Seller intends to sell and the
Purchaser
intends to purchase certain multifamily and commercial mortgage
loans
(collectively, the "Mortgage Loans"), as identified on the
schedule annexed
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule").
The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans, together
with
other assets, into a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), the
beneficial ownership of
which will be evidenced by multiple classes (each, a "Class") of
mortgage
pass-through certificates (the "Certificates") to be identified
as the CWCapital
Commercial Funding Corp., COBALT CMBS Commercial Mortgage Trust
2007-C3,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-C3.
One or more "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") elections will be
made with
respect to the Trust Fund. The Certificates will be issued
pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
to be dated as
of August 1, 2007, among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wachovia
Bank, National
Association, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"),
CWCapital Asset
Management LLC, as special servicer (the "Special Servicer"),
and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used
but not defined
herein have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date.
The Purchaser has entered into an Underwriting Agreement
(the
"Underwriting Agreement"), dated as of August 3, 2007, with
Wachovia Capital
Markets, LLC ("Wachovia") and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
("Citi" and,
together with Wachovia, in such capacity, the "Underwriters"),
whereby the
Purchaser will sell to the Underwriters all of the Certificates
that are to be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").
The Purchaser has also entered into a Certificate Purchase
Agreement (the
"Certificate Purchase Agreement"), dated as of August 3, 2007,
with Wachovia and
Citi (collectively, in such capacity, the "Initial Purchasers"),
whereby the
Purchaser will sell to the Initial Purchasers all of the
remaining Certificates
(other than the Residual Interest Certificates).
In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the
Seller,
the Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers have
entered into an
Indemnification Agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement"),
dated as of August
3, 2007.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual
agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and
the
Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans identified on
the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The Mortgage Loan Schedule may be amended to reflect
the actual
Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms
hereof. The
Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance of
$473,137,534.19 (the
"Citigroup Mortgage Loan Balance") as of the close of business
on, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan, its Due Date in August, 2007 (each such
date, the
applicable "Cut-off Date"), after giving effect to any and all
payments of
principal due thereon on or before such date, whether or not
received. The
purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on
August 17, 2007, or
such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties
hereto (the
"Closing Date"). Adequate consideration shall be paid to the
Seller or its
designee by wire transfer in immediately available funds (or by
such other
method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto) on
the Closing
Date.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of
the
purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and satisfaction
or waiver of the
conditions to closing set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Seller
does hereby
sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and
to the Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date,
subject to the
rights of the holders of any related Companion Loans as
specified in the related
Co-Lender Agreement, as applicable, and the Purchaser hereby
assumes such
Mortgage Loans, together with the rights and obligations related
to such
Mortgage Loans as specified in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
The Mortgage
Loan Schedule, as it may be amended, shall conform to the
requirements set forth
in this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser or its assignee shall, subject to the rights
of the
holders of any related Companion Loans, as applicable, be
entitled to receive
all scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the
Cut-off Date, and
all other recoveries of principal and interest collected after
the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date). All scheduled payments of principal
and interest due
on or before the Cut-off Date for each Mortgage Loan, but
collected after such
date, shall, subject to the rights of the holders of any related
Companion
Loans, as applicable, belong to, and be promptly remitted to,
the Seller.
(c) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall, on behalf
of the
initial Purchaser, deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be
delivered to and
deposited with, the Trustee a Mortgage File for each Mortgage
Loan in accordance
with the terms of, and conforming to the requirements set forth
in, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; provided that, with respect to any
Non-Serviced Trust
Loan, the preceding delivery requirements will be satisfied by
delivery of the
original Mortgage Note (and all intervening endorsements)
related to such
Non-Serviced Trust Loan and a copy of the "mortgage file"
delivered under the
applicable Lead PSA. If the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be
delivered the
documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (a)(ii),
(a)(iii), (a)(vi)
(if recorded) and (a)(viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File"
solely because
of delay caused by the public recording or filing office where
such document or
instrument has been delivered for recordation, the Seller shall
deliver to the
Trustee a copy of the original, certified by the Seller to be a
true and
complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or
filing.
Concurrently with such delivery, the Seller shall deliver, or
cause to be
delivered, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
copies of the
Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) and any reserve and cash management
agreements with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Trust
Loan) for which a
Mortgage File is required to be delivered to the Trustee.
(d) For each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Trust
Loan) for
which a Mortgage File is required to be delivered to the
Trustee, the Seller
shall bear the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
related to recording
or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office
for real
property records or Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements, as
appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment
of Assignment of
Leases, in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (a)(iv) of
the definition
of "Mortgage File" and each related UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment
referred to in
clause (a)(viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File." If any
such document or
instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the
case may be,
because of a defect therein, then the Seller shall prepare a
substitute therefor
or cure such defect or cause such to be done, as the case may
be, and the Seller
shall deliver such substitute or corrected document or
instrument to the Trustee
(or, if the Mortgage Loan is then no longer subject to the
Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, to the then holder of such Mortgage Loan).
(e) The Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Master
Servicer within 10 business days after the Closing Date, all
documents and
records that (i) relate to the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage
Loans that are Serviced Loans, (ii) are reasonably necessary for
the ongoing
administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are
Serviced Loans
and (iii) are in possession or control of the Seller, together
with (x) all
unapplied Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds in the possession or
under control
of the Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans that are
Serviced Loans and (y)
a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds
are allocable to
such Serviced Loans), provided that the Seller shall not be
required to deliver
any draft documents, privileged or other internal
communications, credit
underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal
worksheets, memoranda,
communications or evaluations.
(f) After the Seller's transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser,
as provided herein, the Seller shall not take any action
inconsistent with the
Purchaser's ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions
that are the
express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the
Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the
Seller is expressly
permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Seller
shall, on or
before the Closing Date, take all actions required under
applicable law to
effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser.
(g) The Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided,
information
necessary for the Master Servicer to produce the initial data
with respect to
each Mortgage Loan for the CMSA Financial File and the CMSA Loan
Periodic Update
File that are required to be prepared by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(h) The Seller shall provide the Master Servicer with the
Supplemental
Servicer Schedule.
SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of
Seller.
(a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to and covenants
with the
Purchaser, as of the date hereof, that:
(i) The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in
good standing under the laws of the State of New York, is duly
qualified as
a foreign organization in good standing in all jurisdictions to
the extent
such qualification is necessary to hold and sell the Mortgage
Loans or
otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement,
except where
the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse
effect on
its ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and possesses
all
requisite authority and power to carry on its business as
currently
conducted by it and to execute, deliver and comply with its
obligations
under the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and
delivered by the Seller and, assuming due authorization,
execution and
delivery hereof by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding
obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with
its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A)
bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other
similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and
(B) general
equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller
and
the Seller's performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement
will not (A) violate the Seller's organizational documents, (B)
violate any
law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to which
the Seller
is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with
notice or
lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the
breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument
to which
the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound.
(iv) The Seller is not in default with respect to any order or
decree
of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state,
municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default
would
reasonably be expected to have consequences that would, in the
Seller's
reasonable and good faith judgment, materially and adversely
affect the
condition (financial or other) or operations of the Seller or
its
properties or have consequences that would, in the Seller's
reasonable and
good faith judgment, materially and adversely affect its
performance
hereunder.
(v) The Seller is not a party to or bound by any agreement
or
instrument or subject to any organizational document or any
other corporate
restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree,
law or
regulation that would, in the Seller's reasonable and good faith
judgment,
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to
perform its
obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of
any third
person to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Seller or the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under this
Agreement.
(vi) Except for the recordation and/or filing of assignments and
other
transfer documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than the
Non-Serviced Trust Loans), as contemplated by Section 2(d), no
consent,
approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing
with, or notice
to, any court or governmental agency or body, is required for
the
execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of or
compliance by the
Seller with this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and no bulk sale law applies to
such
transactions.
(vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the
Seller's
knowledge, threatened against the Seller that would, in the
Seller's good
faith and reasonable judgment, prohibit its entering into this
Agreement or
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of
its
obligations under this Agreement.
(viii) The Seller intends to treat the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans
to the Purchaser as a sale for accounting and tax purposes. In
connection
with the foregoing, the Seller shall cause all of its records to
reflect
such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan). The
consideration
received by the Seller upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser
will constitute at least reasonably equivalent value and fair
consideration
for the Mortgage Loans. The Seller will be solvent at all
relevant times
prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the
Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser. The Seller is not selling the Mortgage
Loans to the
Purchaser with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the
creditors
of the Seller. After giving effect to its transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser, as provided herein, the value of the Seller's
assets, either
taken at their present fair saleable value or at fair valuation,
will
exceed the amount of the Seller's debts and obligations,
including
contingent and unliquidated debts and obligations of the Seller,
and the
Seller will not be left with unreasonably small assets or
capital with
which to engage in and conduct its business. The Mortgage Loans
do not
constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Seller.
The Seller
does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debts or
obligations beyond its ability to pay such debts and obligations
as they
mature.
(ix) No proceedings looking toward liquidation, dissolution
or
bankruptcy of the Seller are pending or contemplated.
(b) The Seller hereby makes, for the benefit of the Purchaser,
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date or as of
such other date
expressly set forth therein, each of the representations and
warranties set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, except as otherwise set
forth on Exhibit C
attached hereto.
SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In
order to
induce the Seller to enter into this Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby represents
and warrants for the benefit of the Seller as of the date hereof
that:
(i) The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Purchaser
has the full corporate power and authority and legal right to
acquire the
Mortgage Loans from the Seller and to transfer the Mortgage
Loans to the
Trustee.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and
delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization,
execution and
delivery hereof by the Seller, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding
obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by (A)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium
or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in
general, and
(B) general equity principles (regardless of whether such
enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Purchaser
and the Purchaser's performance and compliance with the terms of
this
Agreement will not (A) violate the Purchaser's organizational
documents,
(B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree
or order to
which the Purchaser is subject or (C) constitute a default (or
an event
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
default)
under, or result in the breach of, any material contract,
agreement or
other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which
the
Purchaser is bound.
(iv) Except as may be required under federal or state securities
laws
(and which will be obtained on a timely basis), no consent,
approval,
authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or
notice to, any
governmental authority or court, is required for the execution,
delivery
and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the
Purchaser with
this Agreement, or the consummation by the Purchaser of any
transaction
described in this Agreement.
(v) Under GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, the
Purchaser will
report the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser,
as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser in
exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1
hereof.
(vi) None of the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans by the
Purchaser,
the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, or the
execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser,
results or will
result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the
Purchaser's
assets or property, or conflicts or will conflict with, results
or will
result in a breach of, or requires or will require the consent
of any third
person or constitutes or will constitute a default under (A) any
term or
provision of the Purchaser's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws, (B)
any term or provision of any material agreement, contract,
instrument or
indenture, to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the
Purchaser is
bound, or (C) any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ,
injunction
or decree or any court or governmental authority having
jurisdiction over
the Purchaser or its assets.
SECTION 5. Notice of Breach; Cure; Repurchase; Covenant of the
Seller.
(a) If the Seller discovers or receives notice in accordance
with
Section 10 hereof of a Document Defect or a breach of any of its
representations
and warranties made pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof (each such
breach, a
"Breach") relating to any Mortgage Loan, and such Document
Defect or Breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan
or the related
Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Purchaser in such
Mortgage Loan (in
which case any such Document Defect or Breach would be a
"Material Document
Defect" or a "Material Breach," as the case may be), then
(subject to Section
5(b)) the Seller shall, within 90 days after its discovery or
receipt of such
notice of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach (or,
in the case of a
Material Document Defect or Material Breach that affects whether
a Mortgage Loan
was, as of the Closing Date, is or will continue to be a
"qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (a "Qualified
Mortgage"), not later
than 90 days after any party discovering such Material Document
Defect or
Material Breach) (such 90-day period, in either case, the
"Initial Resolution
Period"), (i) cure such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach, as the case
may be, in all material respects, which cure shall include
payment of any
Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith, or (ii)
repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property, or in the
case of any REO
Property related to a Loan Group, the Seller's interest therein)
from, and in
accordance with the directions of, the Purchaser or its
designee, at a price
equal to the Purchase Price; provided that if (A) any such
Material Breach or
Material Document Defect, as the case may be, does not affect
whether the
Mortgage Loan was, as of the Closing Date, is or will continue
to be a Qualified
Mortgage, (B) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect,
as the case may
be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable
Initial Resolution
Period, (C) the Seller has commenced and is diligently
proceeding with the cure
of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case
may be, within
the applicable Initial Resolution Period and (D) the Seller
shall have delivered
to the Purchaser a certification executed on behalf of the
Seller by an officer
thereof confirming that such Material Breach or Material
Document Defect, as the
case may be, is not capable of being cured within the applicable
Initial
Resolution Period, setting forth what actions the Seller is
pursuing in
connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller
anticipates that
such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case
may be, will be
cured within an additional period not to exceed 90 days beyond
the end of the
applicable Initial Resolution Period, then the Seller shall have
such additional
90-day period (the "Resolution Extension Period") to complete
such cure or,
failing such, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (or the
related Mortgaged
Property) unless, solely in the case of a Material Document
Defect, (x) the
Mortgage Loan is, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period,
then a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has
occurred as a result
of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), clause (f)
or clause (g) of
the definition of "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan" in the
Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was
identified in a
certification delivered to Seller by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to
the delivery of
the notice of such Material Document Defect; and provided,
further, that, if any
such Material Document Defect is still not cured after the
initial 90-day period
and any such additional 90-day period solely due to the failure
of the Seller to
have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be
entitled to
continue to defer its cure and repurchase obligations in respect
of such
Document Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Purchaser
every 30 days
thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely
because of its
failure to have received the recorded document or a copy thereof
and that the
Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect
(specifying the actions
being taken), except that no such deferral of cure or repurchase
may continue
beyond the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Any such
repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released
basis. The Seller
shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding
the existence
of a Breach or Document Defect, but if the Seller discovers a
Material Breach or
Material Document Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it
will notify the
Purchaser. Provided that if the Master Servicer has notice of
such Material
Document Defect or Material Breach, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Seller
if the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan during
any applicable cure periods. Any of the following document
defects shall be
conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect: (a) the
absence from the
Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, together
with the
endorsements referred to in clause (a)(i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File,"
unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit
and indemnity
with respect to the missing Mortgage Note and any missing
endorsement that
appears to be regular on its face, (b) other than with respect
to a Non-Serviced
Trust Loan, the absence from the Mortgage File of the original
executed Mortgage
or a copy of such Mortgage certified by the local authority with
which the
Mortgage was recorded, in each case with evidence of recording
thereon, that
appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in
the Mortgage File
a copy of the executed Mortgage and a certificate stating that
the original
signed Mortgage was sent for recordation, (c) other than with
respect to a
Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the absence from the Mortgage File of
the original or a
copy of the lender's title insurance policy, together with all
endorsements or
riders (or copies thereof) that were issued with or subsequent
to the issuance
of such policy, or marked up insurance binder or title
commitment which is
marked as a binding commitment and countersigned by title
company, insuring the
priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, (d) other
than with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the absence from
the Mortgage
File of any intervening assignments required to create a
complete chain of
assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and a
certificate stating that
the original intervening assignments were sent for recordation,
unless there is
included in the Mortgage File a certified copy of the
intervening assignment,
(e) other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust Loan, the
absence from the
Mortgage File of a copy of the ground lease with respect to any
leasehold
mortgages or (f) other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Trust
Loan, the
absence from the Servicing File of any original letter of
credit.
(b) If (x) any Mortgage Loan is subject to a Material Breach
or
Material Document Defect and would otherwise be required to be
repurchased as
contemplated by Section 5(a), (y) such Mortgage Loan is a
Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan or is secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged
Properties, and (z) the
applicable Material Breach of Material Document Defect does not
constitute a
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be,
as to any
related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or applies to only
specific Mortgaged
Properties in such portfolio, the Purchaser or its designee
shall use reasonable
efforts, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loans, to
prepare and, to
the extent necessary and appropriate, have executed by the
related Mortgagor and
record, such documentation as may be necessary to (i) in the
case of a
Cross-Collateralized Group, terminate the
cross-collateralization between the
Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Group that are to be
repurchased, on
the one hand, and the remaining Mortgage Loans therein, on the
other hand, such
that those two groups of Mortgage Loans are each secured only by
the Mortgaged
Properties identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as directly
corresponding
thereto or (ii) in the case of Mortgage Loan secured by a
portfolio of Mortgaged
Properties, release the affected Mortgaged Properties from
the
cross-collateralization of the Mortgage Loan; provided that, if
such
Cross-Collateralized Group is still subject to the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement, then no such termination shall be effected unless and
until (i) the
Purchaser or its designee has received from the Seller (A) an
Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such termination or release will not cause an
Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse
Grantor Trust Event
to occur with respect to the Grantor Trust and (B) a written
confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such termination or release will not
cause an Adverse
Rating Event to occur with respect to any Class of Certificates,
(ii) the debt
service coverage ratio for the four preceding calendar quarters
for all of the
Mortgage Loans relating to such Cross-Collateralized Group
remaining is not less
than 0.05x below the debt service coverage ratio for all
Mortgage Loans of such
Cross-Collateralized Group or Mortgaged Properties relating to
such Mortgage
Loan secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties (including
the affected
Mortgage Loan) or Mortgage Loan (including the affected
Mortgaged Property) set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement, (iii) the loan-to-value
ratio for all of the
Mortgage Loans of such Cross-Collateralized Group remaining is
not greater than
5% more than the loan-to-value ratio for all Mortgage Loans of
such
Cross-Collateralized Group or Mortgaged Properties relating to
such Mortgage
Loan secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties (including
the affected
Mortgage Loan) or Mortgage Loan (including the affected
Mortgaged Property) set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and (iv) the Directing
Holder (if one is
acting) has consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld and
shall be deemed to have been given if no written objection is
received by the
Seller within 10 Business Days of the Directing Holder's receipt
of a written
request for such consent); and provided, further, that the
Seller may, at its
option, purchase the entire Cross-Collateralized Group or
Mortgage Loan in lieu
of terminating the cross-collateralization or a release of the
affected
Mortgaged Properties from the cross-collateralization of the
Mortgage Loan. In
the event that the cross-collateralization of any
Cross-Collateralized Group is
terminated or any Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan
secured by a
portfolio of Mortgaged Properties is released pursuant to this
paragraph, the
Seller may elect either to repurchase only the affected
Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Properties as to which the Material
Breach or
Material Document Defect exists or to repurchase the
aggregate
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. All
reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or its designee
pursuant to this
paragraph shall be included in the calculation of Purchase Price
for the
Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased. If the
cross-collateralization of any
Cross-Collateralized Group is not or cannot be terminated as
contemplated by
this paragraph, then, for purposes of (i) determining whether
any Breach or
Document Defect, as the case may be, is a Material Breach or
Material Document
Defect, and (ii) the application of remedies, such
Cross-Collateralized Group
shall be treated as a single Mortgage Loan.
It shall be a condition to any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by
the
Seller pursuant to Section 5(a) that (i) the Purchaser shall
have executed and
delivered such instruments of endorsement, transfer or
assignment then presented
to it by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to
vest in the Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such
Mortgage Loan
(including any property acquired in respect thereof or proceeds
of any insurance
policy with respect thereto), to the extent that such ownership
interest was
transferred to the Purchaser hereunder; (ii) the Purchaser shall
deliver to the
Seller all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents
pertaining to such
Mortgage Loan; and (iii) the Purchaser shall release to the
Seller any escrow
payments or reserve funds held by it, or on its behalf, in
respect of such
Mortgage Loan. If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased as
contemplated by
Section 5(a), the Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
to reflect the
removal of such Mortgage Loan and shall forward such amended
schedule to the
Purchaser.
(c) The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
modification of
the Mortgage Loan pursuant to a workout, foreclosure, sale or
other liquidation
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall
not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim disputed by the
Seller nor
shall such modification change the Purchase Price due from the
Seller for any
repurchase claim. In the event of any such modification, the
Seller hereby
agrees to repurchase the Mortgage Loan as modified, if the
Seller is required to
or elects to repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the terms of this
Section 5. Any sale of the related Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure
upon such
Mortgage Loan and sale of the successor REO Property, shall be
without (i)
recourse of any kind (either expressed or implied) by such
Person against the
Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any kind (either
expressed or
implied) by the Seller to or for the benefit of such Person.
(d) The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach
is not
discovered until after foreclosure (but in all instances prior
to the sale of
the successor REO Property or Mortgage Loan) shall not prejudice
any claim
against the Seller for repurchase of the REO Mortgage Loan or
successor REO
Property, which claim shall be made in accordance with this
Section 5. If a
court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order that the
Seller is or was
obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or the
successor REO Loan or
the Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, after the
expiration of any
applicable appeal period, but in no event later than the
termination of the
Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the
Seller will be obligated to pay to the Trust the difference
between (i) any
Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation net of
Liquidation Expenses
and (ii) the Purchase Price; provided that the prevailing party
in such action
shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs,
fees and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees) related thereto.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Seller set
forth in Section 5(a) to cure any Material Breach or Material
Document Defect or
to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan constitute the sole
remedies available
to the Purchaser with respect to any Breach or Document
Defect.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Breach of
that
portion of the representation or warranty on the part of the
Seller set forth
in, or made pursuant to, paragraph 38 of Exhibit B to this
Agreement,
specifically relating to whether or not the Mortgage Loan
documents or any
particular Mortgage Loan document for any Mortgage Loan requires
the related
Mortgagor to bear reasonable costs and expenses associated with
a defeasance, as
set forth in paragraph 38 (any such costs or expenses, referred
to herein as
"Covered Costs"), then the Purchaser or its designee will direct
the Seller in
writing to wire transfer to the Custodial Account, within 90
days of receipt of
such direction, the amount of any such reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by
the Trust that (i) otherwise would have been required to be paid
by the
Mortgagor if such representation or warranty with respect to
such costs and
expenses had in fact been true, as set forth in the related
representation or
warranty, (ii) have not been paid by the Mortgagor, (iii) are
the basis of such
Breach and (iv) constitute "Covered Costs." Upon payment of such
costs, the
Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all
respects. Provided that
such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy
available to the
Purchaser regarding any such Breach, regardless of whether it
constitutes a
Material Breach, and the Seller shall not be obligated to
otherwise cure such
Breach or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan under any
circumstances.
(h) For so long as the Trust Fund is subject to the
reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the
Purchaser and the
Trustee with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and any
Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure set forth next to the Purchaser's name on Exhibit P
and Exhibit Q of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within the time periods set
forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d) The Seller shall have delivered and released to the Trustee

this Agreement;

agree that
it is their express intent that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 2 hereof be, and

not as a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a
debt or other
obligation of the Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent
of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of
the Seller, then

secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller; (ii) this
Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles
8 and 9 of the

Purchaser of a
security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and

Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other
property; (iv) the assignment to the Trustee of the interest of
the Purchaser in

Mortgage Notes for
the Mortgage Loans, and such other items of property as
constitute instruments,

be "possession
by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant
to Section 9-313 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and
(vi)
notifications to persons (other than the Trustee) holding such
property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from such persons
