EXHIBIT 99.1
WACHOVIA MORTGAGE
LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007
(this "Agreement"), is entered into between WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
(the "Seller") and WACHOVIA COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC. (the
"Purchaser").
The Seller intends to sell
and the Purchaser intends to purchase
certain multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans")
identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule") annexed
hereto as
Exhibit A. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans, along with
certain other mortgage loans (the "Other Mortgage Loans"), 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"). One or more "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" ("REMIC")
elections will be made with respect to most of the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund
will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and
servicing agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as
of August
1, 2007, among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wachovia Bank, National
Association,
as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"), LNR
Partners,
Inc., as special servicer (the "Special Servicer") and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A.,
as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein
(including the Schedules attached hereto) have the respective meanings set
forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
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 delivered to the
Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The Mortgage Loans are expected to have
an aggregate principal balance of $2,043,814,381 (the "Wachovia Mortgage
Loan
Balance") (subject to a variance of plus or minus 5.0%) as of the close of
business on the Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments due on or
before such date, whether or not such payments are received.
The Wachovia Mortgage Loan
Balance, together with the aggregate
principal balance of the Other Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date (after
giving effect to any payments due on or before such date whether or not such
payments are received), is expected to equal an aggregate principal balance
(the
"Cut-Off Date Pool Balance") of $3,602,123,586 (subject to a variance
of plus or
minus 5.0%). The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on
August 22, 2007, or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the
parties to this Agreement (the "Closing Date"). The consideration
(the
"Aggregate Purchase Price") for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal to
(i) %
of the Wachovia Mortgage Loan Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, plus (ii)
$7,194,771, which amount represents the amount of interest accrued on the
Wachovia Mortgage Loan Balance at the related Net Mortgage Rate for the period
from and including the Cut-Off Date up to but not including the Closing Date.
The Aggregate Purchase Price
shall be paid to the Seller or its
designee by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the
Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the
Seller of the Aggregate Purchase Price and satisfaction of the other conditions
to closing that are for the benefit of the Seller, the Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse (except as set forth in this Agreement), 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, on a servicing released basis, together with all
of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related
title, hazard, primary mortgage or other insurance proceeds.
(b) The Purchaser or its
assignee shall 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 but collected on or 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.
(c) No later than the Closing
Date, the Seller shall, on behalf of
the Purchaser, deliver to the Trustee, the documents and instruments specified
below with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each a "Mortgage File").
All Mortgage
Files so delivered will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all times prior to
the Closing Date. Each Mortgage File shall contain the following documents:

Mortgage Note including any power of
attorney related to the execution
thereof, together with any and all
intervening endorsements thereon,
endorsed on its face or by allonge
attached thereto (without recourse,

implied) to the order of
"Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for the
registered holders of Wachovia Bank

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-C33" or in blank (or a
lost note affidavit and indemnity
with a copy of such Mortgage Note
attached thereto);

thereon or certified by the
applicable recording office;
(iv) an original executed
assignment, in recordable form (except for
any missing recording information),

authorized representative of the
title company or an agreement to provide
the same pursuant to binding escrow
instructions executed by an authorized

company) to issue such title insurance policy;
(viii) any filed copies
(bearing evidence of filing) or other

the Trustee (but only to the extent the
Seller had possession of such UCC

Closing Date) and, if there is an
effective UCC Financing Statement and
continuation statement in favor of
the Seller on record with the
applicable public office for UCC
Financing Statements, an original UCC

assignments shall be provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to the ING Hospitality Pool

Trustee will hold the original documents
(except for the original note, or
lost note affidavit, if applicable,
which will be held by the Trustee)

Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Trust Fund.
(d) The Seller shall take all
actions reasonably necessary (i) to
permit the Trustee to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 2.01(d) of
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) to perform its obligations described
in
Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if a draw upon a letter of credit is required
before its transfer to the Trust Fund can be completed, the Seller shall draw
upon such letter of credit for the benefit of the Trust Fund pursuant to
written
instructions from the Master Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse the Trustee
for all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Trustee for
recording any documents described in Section 2(c)(iv)(c) hereof and filing any

to
last sentence in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

caused to be delivered by the Seller to the Master Servicer or at the direction
of the Master Servicer to the appropriate sub-servicer, together with any
related escrow amounts and reserve amounts.
(f) The Seller shall take
such actions as are reasonably necessary
to assign or otherwise grant to the Trust Fund the benefit of any letters of
credit in the name of the Seller which secure any Mortgage Loan.
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 national
banking association organized and
validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the United States
of America and possesses all
requisite authority, power, licenses, permits
and franchises 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 bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium and other laws
relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights in general,
as they may be applied in the
context of the insolvency of a national
banking association, and by general
equity principles (regardless of
whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law), and by public policy
considerations underlying the securities laws,
to the extent that such public
policy considerations limit the
enforceability of the provisions of
this Agreement which purport to
provide indemnification from
liabilities under applicable securities laws;
(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
articles of association or bylaws, (B)
violate any law or regulation or
any administrative decree or order to
which it is subject or (C)
constitute a material default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would constitute a material
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 might
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 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
articles of association, bylaws 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 of this Agreement or the performance
by the Seller of its obligations
under this Agreement (except to the
extent such consent has been
obtained);
(vi) No consent, approval,
authorization or order of 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 except as have previously
been obtained, and no bulk sale law
applies to such transactions;
(vii) No litigation is
pending or, to 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 has caused
each Servicing Participant which
services a Mortgage Loan to comply,
as evidenced by written documentation
between each Servicing Participant
and the Seller, with all reporting
requirements set forth in Sections
3.13, 3.14, 3.22 and 8.17 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement
applicable to such Servicing Participant
for the Mortgage Loans set forth on
Exhibit C, for so long as the Trust
Fund is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended;
(ix) Under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") and for
federal income tax purposes, the
Seller will report the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as
a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser in exchange for
consideration consisting of a cash amount equal
to the Aggregate Purchase Price.
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;
(x) The Seller has examined
the Disclosure Material set forth in the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
(as defined below), the Prospectus
Supplement to the accompanying
Prospectus (as defined below), the
Preliminary Memorandum and the
Memorandum, relating to the Certificates.
The Seller hereby represents and
warrants that the Disclosure Material is
appropriately responsive in all
material respects to the applicable
requirements of Items 1104, 1110,
1111, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB
with respect to the Seller and the Wachovia
Mortgage Loans; and
(xi) For so long as the Trust
Fund is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act,
the Seller shall provide the Purchaser
(or, with respect to any Companion
Loan that is deposited into another
securitization, the depositor in
such other securitization) and the
Trustee with any Additional Form
10-K Disclosure and any Additional Form
10-D Disclosure set forth next to
the Purchaser's name on Exhibit U and
Exhibit W, respectively, of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement within the
time periods set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Seller hereby makes
the representations and warranties
contained in Schedule I for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Trustee for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders as of the Closing Date, with respect to (and
solely with respect to) each Mortgage Loan, which representations and
warranties
are subject to the exceptions set forth on Schedule II.
(c) With respect to the
schedule of exceptions delivered by the
Trustee on the Closing Date, within fifteen (15) Business Days (or, in the
reasonable discretion of the Controlling Class Representative, thirty (30)
Business Days) of the Closing Date, with respect to the documents specified in
clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (ix) (solely with respect to Ground Leases) and (xii)
of the definition of Mortgage File, the Seller shall cure any material
exception
listed therein (for the avoidance of doubt, any deficiencies with respect to
the
documents specified in clause (ii) resulting solely from a delay in the return
of the related documents from the applicable recording office, shall be cured
in
the time and manner described in Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement). If such exception is not so cured, the Seller shall either (1)
repurchase the related Mortgage Loan, (2) with respect to exceptions relating
to
clause (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", deposit with the
Trustee an
amount, to be held in trust in a Special Reserve Account pursuant to the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, equal to the amount of the undelivered letter of
credit
(in the alternative, the Seller may deliver to the Trustee, with a certified
copy to the Master Servicer and Trustee, a letter of credit for the benefit of
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and upon the same terms and
conditions as the undelivered letter of credit) which the Master Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee may use (or draw upon, as the case may be) under the same
circumstances and conditions as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to
draw on the undelivered letter of credit, or (3) with respect to any exceptions
relating to clauses (i), (ii) and (vii), deposit with the Trustee an amount, to
be held in trust in a Special Reserve Account pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the
related
Mortgage Loan on such date. Any funds or letter of credit deposited pursuant to
clauses (2) and (3) above shall be held by the Trustee until the earlier of (x)
the date on which the Master Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the
Controlling Class Representative that such exception has been cured (or the
Trustee certifies the same to the Controlling Class Representative), at which
time such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be returned to the
Seller and (y) thirty (30) Business Days or, if the Controlling Class
Representative has extended the cure period, forty-five (45) Business Days
after
the Closing Date; provided, however, that if such exception is not cured within
such thirty (30) Business Days or forty-five (45) Business Days, as the case
may
be, (A) in the case of clause (2), the Trustee shall retain the funds on
deposit
in the related Special Reserve Account, or letter of credit, as applicable, or
(B) in the case of clause (3), the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at which
time such funds shall be applied to the Purchase Price of the related Mortgage
Loan and any letter of credit will be returned to the Seller.
If the Seller receives
written notice of a Document Defect or a
Breach pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
relating to a Mortgage Loan, then the Seller shall not later than ninety (90)
days from receipt of such notice (or, in the case of a Document Defect or
Breach
relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning
of the REMIC Provisions (a "Qualified Mortgage"), not later than
ninety (90)
days from the date that any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
discovers such Document Defect or Breach; provided the Seller receives such
notice in a timely manner), if such Document Defect or Breach shall materially
and adversely affect the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan, the interest of
the Trust Fund therein or the interests of any Certificateholder, cure such
Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, which
shall include payment of actual or provable losses and any Additional Trust
Fund
Expenses directly resulting from any such Document Defect or Breach or, if such
Document Defect or Breach (other than omissions solely due to a document not
having been returned by the related recording office) cannot be cured within
such 90-day period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Purchase Price not later than the end of such 90-day period or (ii) substitute
a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan not later
than the end of such 90-day period (and in no event later than the second
anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into
the Certificate Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection
therewith; provided, however, that unless the Breach would cause the Mortgage
Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage, and if such Document Defect or Breach is
capable of being cured but not within such 90-day period and the Seller has
commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Document Defect or
Breach within such 90-day period, such Seller shall have an additional ninety
(90) days to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase or
substitute the related Mortgage Loan); provided, further, that with respect to
such additional 90-day period the Seller shall have delivered an officer's
certificate to the Trustee setting forth what actions the Seller is pursuing in
connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that
such Document Defect or Breach will be cured within the additional 90-day
period; provided, further, that no Document Defect (other than with respect to
a
Mortgage Note, Mortgage, title insurance policy, Ground Lease, any letter of
credit, any franchise agreement, any comfort letter and (if required) any
comfort letter transfer documents (collectively, the "Core Material
Documents"))
shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related
Mortgage Loan, the interests of the Trust Fund therein or the interests of any
Certificateholder unless the document with respect to which the Document 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 or any collateral securing the Mortgage
Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligations; provided, further,
with respect to Document Defects which materially and adversely affect the
interests of any Certificateholder, the interests of the Trust Fund therein or
the value of the related Mortgage Loan, other than with respect to Document
Defects relating to the Core Material Documents, any applicable cure period
following the initial 90-day cure period may be extended by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer if the document involved is not needed imminently. Such
extension will end upon thirty (30) days notice of such need as reasonably
determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (with a possible thirty
(30) day extension if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer agrees that the
Seller is diligently pursuing a cure). The Seller shall cure all Document
Defects which materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Certificateholder, the interests of the Trust Fund therein or the value of the
related Mortgage Loan, regardless of the document involved, no later than two
years following the Closing Date; provided that the initial 90-day cure period
referenced in this paragraph may not be reduced. For a period of two years from
the Closing Date, so long as there remains any Mortgage File relating to a
Mortgage Loan as to which there is any uncured Document Defect or Breach, the
Seller shall provide the officer's certificate to the Trustee described above
as
to the reasons such Document Defect or Breach remains uncured and as to the
actions being taken to pursue cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery
of a commitment to issue a policy of lender's title insurance as described in
Representation 12 of Schedule I hereof in lieu of the delivery of the actual
policy of lender's title insurance shall not be considered a Document Defect or
Breach with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy of insurance is
delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf not later than the 90th
day following the Closing Date.
If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required
to be repurchased or
substituted for in the manner described above, (ii) such Mortgage Loan is
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans
(each, a "Crossed Loan"), and (iii) the applicable Document Defect or
Breach
does not constitute a Document 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 Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be
deemed to constitute a Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any
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 Loan(s) in the related Crossed Group as provided in the immediately
preceding paragraph unless such other Crossed Loans in such Crossed Group
satisfy the Crossed Loan Repurchase Criteria and satisfy all other criteria for
substitution or repurchase 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 Document 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 complies with this Agreement to remove 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 included 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 in good faith by the Purchaser in connection with such
modification or accommodation (including, but not limited to, recoverable
attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.
(d) In connection with any
permitted repurchase or substitution of
one or more Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby, upon receipt of a certificate
from a Servicing Officer certifying as to the receipt of the Purchase Price or
Substitution Shortfall Amount(s), as applicable, in the Certificate Account,
and
the delivery of the Mortgage File(s) and the Servicing File(s) for the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) to the Custodian and the Master Servicer,
respectively, if applicable (i) the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
endorsements and assignments as are provided to it by the Master Servicer, in
each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to
vest in the Seller, the legal and beneficial ownership of each repurchased
Mortgage Loan or substituted Mortgage Loan, as applicable, (ii) the Trustee,
the
Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to
the
Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the Seller, all
portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan possessed by it, and (iii) the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall release to the Seller any Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds held by it in
respect of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loans.
(e) Without limiting the
remedies of the Purchaser, the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant
to this Agreement, it is acknowledged that the representations and warranties
are being made for risk allocation purposes. This Section 3 provides the sole
remedy available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect in a Mortgage File or any
Breach of any representation or warranty set forth in or required to be made
pursuant to this Section 3. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Purchaser or its assigns (including the Master Servicer and/or the Special
Servicer) from pursuing any course of action authorized by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement while the Purchaser asserts a claim or brings a cause of
action to enforce any rights set forth herein against the Seller.
(f) With respect to any
Mortgage Loan which has become a Defaulted
Mortgage Loan under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with respect to
which
the related Mortgaged Property has been foreclosed and which is the subject of
a
repurchase claim under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer with the consent of the
Controlling Class Representative shall notify the Seller in writing of its
intention to liquidate such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property at least 45
days prior to any such action. If (a) the Seller consents to such sale and
voluntarily agrees to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property
or
(b) a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Seller is liable
under
this Agreement to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then
such Seller shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the difference if
any of the price of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as sold and
the
price at which the Seller would have had to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property under this Agreement. The Seller shall have ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of notice to determine whether or not to consent to
such sale. If the Seller does not consent to such sale, the Special Servicer
shall contract with a Determination Party (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) as to the merits of such proposed sale. If the related
Determination Party determines that such proposed sale is in accordance with
the
Servicing Standard and the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and,
subsequent to such sale, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the
Seller was liable under this Agreement and required to repurchase such
Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with the terms hereof, then the
Seller shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the difference (if any)
between the proceeds of the related action and the price at which the Seller
would have been obligated to pay had the Seller repurchased such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property prior to the execution of a binding contract of
sale with a third party in accordance with the terms hereof including the costs
related to contracting with the related Determination Party; provided that the
foregoing procedure in this Section 3(f) shall not preclude such Seller from
repurchasing the Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property prior to the execution
of a binding contract of sale with a third party in accordance with the other
provisions of this Section 3 (excluding this Section 3(f)). If the related
Determination Party determines that the sale of the related Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property is not in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the sale of
Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the Special Servicer
subsequently sells such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then the Seller will not
be liable for any such difference (nor any cost of contracting with the
Determination Party).
(g) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if there exists a Breach relating
to whether or not the 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) with respect to matters described in Representations 23 and 43 of
Schedule I hereof, then the Purchaser shall direct the Seller in writing to
wire
transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account,
within
ninety (90) days of the Seller's receipt of such direction, the amount of any
such costs and expenses borne by the Purchaser, the Certificateholders, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee on their behalf that are
the basis of such Breach. Upon its making such deposit, the Seller shall be
deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. Provided such payment is made
in full, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser,
the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Breach and the Seller shall not be
obligated to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan on account of such Breach or
otherwise cure such Breach.
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

proceeding or investigation pending or
to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser in any
court
or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would
materially and adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or any action
taken in connection with the obligations of the Purchaser contemplated herein,
or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Purchaser to
enter into and/or perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
(g) The Purchaser 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 governmental agency or body, which default might have consequences

(c) As promptly as reasonably
practicable after receipt by any
person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (an "indemnified
party")
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller (the
"indemnifying
party") under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
under Section 7(a) (except to the extent that such omission has prejudiced the
indemnifying party in any material respect) or from any liability which it may
have otherwise than under this Section 7. In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the
indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or
parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties that are different
from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf
of
such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of
such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the
assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding
sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the
Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchaser, representing all the
indemnified parties under Section 7(a) who are parties to such action), (ii)
the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party
has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the
expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is
applicable, such liability shall only be in respect of the counsel referred to
in such clause (i) or (iii). Unless it shall assume the defense of any
proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of
counsel or any other expenses for which the indemnifying party is obligated
under this subsection, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by
such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. If an indemnifying party assumes
the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding
with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for
an
unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters
relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified
party
in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, which release does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure
to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party without the consent of the
indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification
provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) hereof or insufficient
in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying
parties in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations (taking into account the parties' relative knowledge and access
to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or
failure to comply, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the
circumstances). The relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties;
provided that no Underwriter or Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to
contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts and commissions and
other fees pertaining to the Certificates, less any damages otherwise paid by
such Underwriter or Initial Purchaser with respect to such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense. It is hereby acknowledged that the respective
Underwriters' and Initial Purchaser's obligations under this Section 7 shall be
several and not joint. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who
controls an Underwriter or an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section
15
of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter's or
Initial
Purchaser's officers and directors, shall have the same rights to contribution
as such Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, as the case may be, and each director
of the Seller and each person, if any who controls the Seller within the
meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Seller.
(e) The Purchaser and the
Seller agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or
payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject
to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
such
action or claim, except where the indemnified party is required to bear such
expenses pursuant to this Section 7, which expenses the indemnifying party
shall
pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the
extent
that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses.
If any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined
to
not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party that
received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party
which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this
Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser,
the Underwriters, the Initial Purchaser, any of their respective directors or
officers, or any person controlling the Purchaser, the Underwriters or the
Initial Purchaser and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Certificates.
(g) Without limiting the
generality or applicability of any other
provision of this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchaser and their
directors, officers and controlling parties shall be third-party beneficiaries
of the provisions of this Section 7.
SECTION 8. Costs. The Seller
shall pay (or shall reimburse the
Purchaser to the extent that the Purchaser has paid) the Seller's pro rata
portion of the aggregate of the following amounts (the Seller's pro rata
portion
to be determined according to the percentage that the Wachovia Mortgage Loan
Balance represents as of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance): (i) the costs and
expenses of printing and delivering the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Certificates; (ii) the costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise
reproducing)
and delivering a final Prospectus, Term Sheet, Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement, each other Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Memorandum, and
Memorandum relating to the Certificates; (iii) the initial fees, costs, and
expenses of the Trustee (including reasonable attorneys' fees); (iv) the filing
fee charged by the Commission for registration of the Certificates so
registered; (v) the fees charged by the Rating Agencies to rate the
Certificates
so rated; (vi) the fees and disbursements of a firm of certified public
accountants selected by the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to numerical
information in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Certificates included in
any Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Preliminary
Memorandum, and the Memorandum, including in respect of the cost of obtaining
any "comfort letters" with respect to such items; (vii) the
reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the qualification or
exemption of the Certificates under state securities or "Blue Sky"
laws,
including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in
connection therewith, in connection with the preparation of any "Blue
Sky"
survey and in connection with any determination of the eligibility of the
Certificates for investment by institutional investors and the preparation of
any legal investment survey; (viii) the expenses of printing any such
"Blue Sky"
survey and legal investment survey; and (ix) the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters or Initial Purchaser; provided,
however, Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser to the extent that
the Purchaser has paid) the expense of recording any assignment of Mortgage or
assignment of Assignment of Leases as contemplated by Section 2 hereof with
respect to the Seller's Mortgage Loans. All other costs and expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be borne by the
party incurring such expense.
SECTION 9. Grant of a
Security Interest. It is the express intent of
the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser as provided in Section 2 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser 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,
(a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or
other obligation of the Seller, and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed
to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyance provided
for
in Section 2 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the
Purchaser
of a security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and
to the Mortgage Loans, and all amounts payable to the holder of the 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, including, without limitation, all amounts, other than
investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate
Account, the Distribution Account or, if established, the REO Account (each as
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the assignment to the Trustee
of the interest of the Purchaser as contemplated by Section 1 hereof shall be
deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the
possession by the Trustee or any of its agents, including, without limitation,
the Custodian, of the Mortgage Notes, and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the applicable jurisdiction; and (v) notifications to persons (other than the
Trustee) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons (other than the Trustee) holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller
and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 10. Covenants of
Purchaser. The Purchaser shall provide the
Seller with all forms of Disclosure Materials (including the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement, the final form of the Memorandum, and the final form of
the Prospectus Supplement) promptly upon any such document becoming available.
SECTION 11. Notices. All
notices, copies, requests, consents,
demands and other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and
telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for
Notices"
specified beneath its name on the signature pages hereof or, as to either
party,
at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice hereunder
to the other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by
telecopier or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon
receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.
SECTION 12. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement, incorporated herein by reference or contained in the certificates of
officers of the Seller submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in
full force and effect and shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser (and by the Purchaser to the Trustee).
SECTION 13. Severability of
Provisions. Any part, provision,
representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement that is prohibited or
which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation, warranty or covenant of
this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any particular jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which
prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 14. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES,
OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS
AGREEMENT.
SECTION 16. Attorneys Fees.
If any legal action, suit or proceeding
is commenced between the Seller and the Purchaser regarding their respective
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover, in addition to damages or other relief, costs and
expenses,
attorneys' fees and court costs (including, without limitation, expert witness
fees). As used herein, the term "prevailing party" shall mean the
party which
obtains the principal relief it has sought, whether by compromise settlement or
judgment. If the party which commenced or instituted the action, suit or
proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other
party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party.
SECTION 17. Further
Assurances. The Seller and the Purchaser agree
to execute and deliver such instruments and take such further actions as the
other party may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate
the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 18. Successors and
Assigns. The rights and obligations of
the Seller under this Agreement shall not be assigned by the Seller without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser, except that any person into which the
Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, or any
person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Seller,
shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder. The Purchaser has the right to
assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, as may be
required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the
assignee shall, to the extent of such assignment, succeed to the rights and
obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the
Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchaser (each as intended third
party beneficiaries hereof) and their permitted successors and assigns, and the
officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7. This
Agreement is enforceable by the Underwriters, the Initial Purchaser and the
other third party beneficiaries hereto in all respects to the same extent as if
they had been signatories hereof.
SECTION 19. Amendments. No
term or provision of this Agreement may
be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and
signed by a duly authorized officer of the party, or third party beneficiary,
against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced. No amendment
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which relates to defined terms contained
therein, Section 2.01(d) thereof or the repurchase obligations or any other
obligations of the Seller shall be effective against the Seller (in such
capacity) unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing.
SECTION 20. Accountants'
Letters. The parties hereto shall cooperate
with KPMG LLP in making available all information and taking all steps
reasonably necessary to permit such accountants to deliver the letters required
by the Underwriting Agreement.
