SECTION 3.

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

SECTION 4.

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

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

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

SECTION 5.

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

SECTION 6.

Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser .  

Subsection 6.01.

Conveyance of Loans; Possession of Servicing Files .  

The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver to the Initial Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance with respect to the related Loan Package in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 .  The Servicing File retained by the Servicer with respect to each Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in Servicer’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Loan to the Purchaser. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.04 or 7.05.

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

Subsection 6.02.

Books and Records .  

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

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

Subsection 6.03.

Delivery of Loan Documents .

With respect to each Loan, the Seller shall deliver and release to the Custodian, (a) on or prior to the related Closing Date (or such later date as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request), the original Mortgage, original Note endorsed in blank, the original Assignment of Mortgage assigned in blank, and an entry on the related data tape setting forth the title insurance information (including title insurance coverage amount, title insurance provider and tile insurance policy number) for such Loan and (b) the other Loan Documents within a reasonable time following the related Closing Date; provided, however, that all original documents or, in the case of Loan Documents delivered for recording, either the original recorded documentation or clerk-certified copies thereof shall be delivered to the Purchaser, or its designee, no later than one year following the related Closing Date, subject to the following paragraph.

In the event that such original or copy of any Loan Document (except for the applicable Note or related lost note affidavit, to the extent not set forth on the related bailee or custodial certification described in Section 8(D), which Mortgage and Note or lost note affidavit must be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date) is not so delivered to the Custodian within one year following the related Closing Date, and in the event that the Seller does not cure such failure within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notification of such failure from the Purchaser, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at a price and in the manner specified in Subsection 7.04.  The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, such original or clerk-certified copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an Officer’s Certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller, confirming that such document has been accepted for recording and that the Seller shall immediately deliver such document upon receipt by the Seller; and, provided further, that if the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, such original or clerk-certified copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified time for any reason within twelve (12) months after receipt of written notification of such failure from the Purchaser, the Seller shall repurchase the related Loan at the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 7.04.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Loan Documents for the related Closing Date, as evidenced by a trust receipt and initial certification of the Custodian delivered to the Initial Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Purchaser.

The Seller or Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Seller or Servicer shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Loan:

(a)

The information set forth in the related Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(b)

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

(c)

All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Cut-off Date for such Loan under the terms of the Note have been made; neither the Seller nor the Servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Borrower thereunder during the last twelve months;

(d)

There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

(e)

The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Borrower has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Loan Schedule.  With respect to each Second Lien Loan (a) the related first lien is in full force and effect, (b) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related first lien mortgage or the mortgage note related to such first lien mortgage, (c) either no consent for the Loan is required by the holder of the first lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Loan File, (d) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the related first lien mortgage loan, and either (1) the related first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (2) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the related first lien mortgage;

(f)

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

(g)

All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Borrower thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense, and on the Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Borrower’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Borrower. Neither the Servicer, nor any prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such insurance policies;

(i)

The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

(j)

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

The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Borrower and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Borrower is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Note or Mortgage;

(n)

The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;

(o)

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties .

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 shall survive the sale of the Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Loan File. Upon discovery by either the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller or the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Loan or the Loans, the Seller or the Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 or Subsection 7.03 and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller or the Servicer of such breach, all of the Loans materially and adversely affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Loan, rather than repurchase the Loan as provided above, remove such Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans; provided that such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Loan. Any repurchase of a Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Distribution Date.  It is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.02 (xxxix), (xl), (xli), (xliv), (xlv), (xlix) or (lvi) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

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

As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller and the Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03.

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