MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
            
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2006
(this "Agreement"), is entered into between Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Lending, Inc.
(the "Seller") and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc. (the
"Purchaser").
 
            
The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to purchase
certain multifamily, commercial and manufactured housing community
mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule (the
"Mortgage Loan
Schedule") annexed hereto as Schedule II. 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 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, dated as of December 1, 2006 (the "Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement"), among the Purchaser as depositor, Midland Loan
Services, Inc. and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as master servicers (each,
in such
capacity, a "Master Servicer"), LNR Partners, Inc. as special
servicer (the
"Special Servicer") and LaSalle Bank National Association 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.
 
            
The Purchaser has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated as
of December 1, 2006 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), with Merrill
Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") for itself and as
representative
of Countrywide Securities Corporation ("Countrywide Securities"),
IXIS
Securities North America Inc. ("IXIS Securities"), PNC Capital
Markets LLC ("PNC
Capital"), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("Credit Suisse") and
Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc. ("DBSI"); Merrill Lynch, Countrywide
Securities, IXIS
Securities, PNC Capital, Credit Suisse and DBSI, collectively, 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 (such Certificates, the "Publicly-Offered Certificates").
The Purchaser
has also entered into a Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of
December 1,
2006 (the "Certificate Purchase Agreement"), with Merrill Lynch for
itself and
as representative of Countrywide Securities (together in such
capacity, the
"Initial Purchasers"), whereby the Purchaser will sell to the
Initial Purchasers
all of the remaining Certificates (such Certificates, the "Private
Certificates").
 
            
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
 
 
 
 
$2,393,751,335 (the "Merrill Lynch 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 Merrill Lynch 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
$4,522,709,155 (subject
to a variance of plus or minus 5%). The purchase and sale of the
Mortgage Loans
shall take place on December 12, 2006 or such other date as shall
be mutually
acceptable to the parties to this Agreement (the "Closing Date").
The
consideration (the "Purchase Consideration") for the Mortgage Loans
shall be
equal to (i) approximately 103.3834% of the Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Loan Balance
as of the Cut-off Date, plus (ii) $$4,224,924, which amount
represents the
amount of interest accrued on the Merrill Lynch Mortgage Loan
Balance, as agreed
to by the Seller and the Purchaser.
 
            
The Purchase Consideration 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 the
Seller's receipt of the Purchase Consideration and the satisfaction
or waiver of
the conditions to closing set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement
(which
conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived upon
the Seller's
receipt of the Purchase Consideration), 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 (subject to certain agreements
regarding
servicing as provided in the Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement
(as defined in
Section 6(a)(iii) hereof)), 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. 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 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 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
be promptly remitted to, the Seller.
 
            
(c)
     
The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has or
will have, on behalf of the Purchaser, delivered to the Trustee (i)
on or before
the Closing Date, the documents and instruments specified below
with respect to
each Mortgage Loan that are Specially Designated Mortgage Loan

For purposes of this Section 2(c):
 
            
"MERS" means Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, or
any successor thereto.
 
            
"MERS Mortgage Loan" means any Mortgage Loan registered with MERS
on
the MERS(R) System, as to which MERS is acting as mortgagee, solely
as nominee
for the Seller and its successors and assigns, which Mortgage Loans
are
identified on Schedule [ ] hereto.
 
            
"MERS(R) System" means the system of recording transfers of
mortgages electronically maintained by MERS.
 
            
"MIN" means the mortgage identification number on the MERS(R)
System
for any MERS Mortgage Loan.
 
            
(d)
     
The Seller shall retain an Independent third party (the
"Recording/Filing Agent") that shall, as to each Mortgage Loan,
promptly (and in
any event within 180 days following the later of the Closing Date
and the
delivery of each Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, recordable
document and UCC
Financing Statement to the Trustee) cause to be
 
 
                                        
5
 
 
 
submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the
appropriate public
office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, each
assignment of
Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases and any other
recordable documents
relating to each such Mortgage Loan in favor of the Trustee that is
referred to
in clause (iv) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and each UCC
Financing
Statement assignment in favor of the Trustee that is referred to in
clause
(viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File." Each such assignment
and UCC
Financing Statement assignment shall reflect that the recorded
original should
be returned by the public recording office to the Trustee following
recording,
and each such assignment and UCC Financing Statement assignment
shall reflect
that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Trustee
following filing;
provided, that in those instances where the public recording office
retains the
original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of
Leases, the
Recording/Filing Agent shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of
the recorded
original. 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).
 
            
The Seller shall bear the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of all
such recording, filing and delivery contemplated in the preceding
paragraph,
including, without limitation, any costs and expenses that may be
incurred by
the Trustee in connection with any such recording, filing or
delivery performed
by the Trustee at the Seller's request and the fees of the
Recording/Filing
Agent.
 
            
If, on the Closing Date as to any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller
does not deliver written evidence of the Trustee's ownership of
such Mortgage
Loan on the MERS(R) System showing the Trustee as a beneficiary of
the
assignment referred to in each of clause (iv) and (v) of the
definition of
"Mortgage File" or the UCC Financing Statements referred to in
clause (viii) of
the definition of "Mortgage File", the Seller may satisfy the
delivery
requirements of this Agreement and Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling
and Servicing
Agreement by delivering such evidence of ownership within 90 days
following the
Closing Date; provided that, during such time, the Seller shall
execute any
documents requested by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
with respect
to such MERS Mortgage Loan that, in the reasonable discretion of
the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (exercised in accordance with the
Servicing
Standard), are necessary to evidence the Trustee's ownership of, or
are
otherwise required for an immediate servicing need with respect to,
such
Mortgage Loan.
 
            
(e)
     
All such other relevant documents and records that (a)
relate to the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans,
(b) are
reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or
servicing of such
Mortgage Loans by the applicable Master Servicer in connection with
its duties
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (c) are in the
possession or
under the control of the Seller, together with all unapplied escrow
amounts and
reserve amounts in the possession or under the control of the
Seller that relate
to the Mortgage Loans, shall be delivered or caused to be delivered
by the
Seller to the applicable Master Servicer (or, at the direction of
such Master
Servicer, to the appropriate sub-servicer); provided that the
Seller shall not
be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other
communications,
credit underwriting, legal or other due diligence analyses, credit
committee
 
 
                                        
6
 
 
 
briefs or memoranda or other internal approval documents or data or
internal
worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.
 
      
The Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver to the
Trustee, for
its administrative convenience in reviewing the Mortgage Files, a
mortgage loan
checklist for each Mortgage Loan. The foregoing sentence
notwithstanding, the
failure of the Seller to deliver a mortgage loan checklist or a
complete
mortgage loan checklist shall not give rise to any liability
whatsoever on the
part of the Seller to the Purchaser, the Trustee or any other
person because the
delivery of the mortgage loan checklist is being provided to the
Trustee solely
for its administrative convenience.
 
            
(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.
 
            
(g)
     
On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide to
the applicable Master Servicer, the initial data (as of the Cut-off
Date or the
most recent earlier date for which such data is available)
contemplated by the
CMSA Loan Setup File, the CMSA Loan Periodic Update File, the CMSA
Operating
Statement Analysis Report and the CMSA Property File.

relating to or
      
affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (C) general equity

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 certificate of
incorporation

Seller to
      
perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (C)
constitute
      
a
 
 
                                        
7
 
 
 
      
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, 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 materially and adversely affect its
      
performance hereunder.
 
            
(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 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)
   
None of the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller, the
      
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and the execution,
delivery
 
     
or performance of this Agreement by the Seller, results or will
result in
      
the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Seller's
assets or
      
property that would have a material adverse effect upon the
Seller's
      
ability to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement
or
      
materially impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the
Mortgage
      
Loans.
 
            
(viii)
  
There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation 
      
pending or to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the
Seller
      
in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or
      
instrumentality which would, in the Seller's good faith and
reasonable
      
judgment, prohibit its entering into this Agreement or materially
and
      
adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or the performance
by the
      
Seller of its obligations under this Agreement.
 
            
(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 Purchase Consideration. The consideration received by the
Seller
      
upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser will
 
 
                                        
8
 
 
 
      
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 Prospectus Supplement contains all the information that
      
is required to be provided in respect of the Seller (that arise
from its
      
role as "sponsor" (within the meaning of Regulation AB)), the
Mortgage
      
Loans, the related Mortgagors and the related Mortgaged Properties
      
pursuant to Regulation AB. For purpose of this Agreement,
"Regulation AB"
      
shall mean Subpart 229.1100 - Asset Backed Securities (Regulation
AB), 17
      
C.F.R. ss.ss.229.1100-229.1123, as such may be amended from time to
time,
      
and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been
provided
      
by the Commission in the adopting release (Asset-Backed Securities,
      
Securities Act Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (Jan.
7,
      
2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by
the
      
Commission or its staff from time to time.
 
            
(b)
     
The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties
contained in Schedule I hereto for the benefit of the Purchaser and
the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders as of the Closing Date
(unless a
different date is specified therein), with respect to (and solely
with respect
to) each Mortgage Loan, subject, however, to the exceptions set
forth on Annex A
to Schedule I of this Agreement.
 
            
(c)
     
If the Seller receives written notice of a Document Defect
or a Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Seller shall, not later
than 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 90
days from
any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement discovering such
Document
Defect or Breach, provided the Seller receives such notice in a
timely manner),
if such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects
the value of
the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein,
cure such Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all
material
respects, which shall include payment of losses and any Additional
Trust Fund
Expenses associated therewith or, if such Document Defect or Breach
(other than
omissions due solely 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 (which, for the purposes of this clause (i),
shall
include an REO Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price (as defined
in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) not later than the end of such 90-day
period or (ii)
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected
Mortgage Loan
(which, for purposes of this clause (ii), shall include an REO
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 applicable Master
Servicer for
deposit into its Collection Account any Substitution Shortfall
Amount in
connection therewith; provided, however, that, unless the Document
Defect or
Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified
Mortgage, 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, the
Seller shall
have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, failing such
cure, to
repurchase
 
 
                                        
9
 
 
 
or substitute the related Mortgage Loan (which, for purposes of
such repurchase
or substitution, shall include an REO Loan)); and 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 the reason(s)
such Document
Defect or Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial
90-day period
and 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.
 
            
A Document Defect or Breach (which Document Defect or Breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders therein) as to a Mortgage Loan
that is
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other
Mortgage Loans
(each, a "Crossed Loan" and such Crossed Loans, collectively, a
"Crossed Loan
Group"), which 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 Loan
Group (without regard to this paragraph) and is not cured as
provided for above,
shall be deemed to constitute a Document Defect or Breach, as the
case may be,
as to each other Crossed Loan in the subject Crossed Loan Group for
purposes of
this paragraph and the Seller shall be required to repurchase or
substitute all
such Crossed Loans unless (1) the weighted average debt service
coverage ratio
for all the remaining Crossed Loans for the four calendar quarters
immediately
preceding such repurchase or substitution is not less than the
weighted average
debt service coverage ratio for all such Crossed Loans, including
the affected
Crossed Loan, for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding
such
repurchase or substitution, and (2) the weighted average loan
to-value ratio for
the remaining Crossed Loans, determined at the time of repurchase
or
substitution, based upon an appraisal obtained by the Special
Servicer at the
expense of the Seller shall not be greater than the weighted
average
loan-to-value ratio for all such Crossed Loans, including the
affected Crossed
Loan determined at the time of repurchase or substitution, based
upon an
appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer at the expense of the
Seller;
provided, that if such debt service coverage and loan-to-value
criteria are
satisfied, any other Crossed Loan (that is not the Crossed Loan
directly
affected by the subject Document Defect or Breach), shall be
released from its
cross-collateralization and cross-default provision so long as such
Crossed Loan
(that is not the Crossed Loan directly affected by the subject
Document Defect
or Breach) is held in the Trust Fund; and provided, further, that
the repurchase
or replacement of less than all such Crossed Loans and the release
of any
Crossed Loan from a cross-collateralization and cross-default
provision shall be
further subject to the delivery by the Seller to the Trustee, at
the expense of
the Seller, of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
release would not
cause either of REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the Code
or result in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or
"contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.
In the event
that one or more of such other 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 Document Defect or
Breach exists
or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Loans in the
related
Crossed Loan Group. All documentation relating to the termination
of the
cross-collateralization provisions of a Crossed Loan being
repurchased shall be
prepared at the expense of the Seller and, where required, with the
consent of
the related Mortgagor. 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 known to the Seller that
existed as of
the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide, once every 90 days, the
officer's
certificate to the Trustee described above as to
 
 
                                       
10
 
 
 
the reason(s) such Document Defect or Breach remains uncured and as
to the
actions being taken to pursue cure; provided, however, that,
without limiting
the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c), if
such Document
Defect or Breach shall materially and adversely affect the value of
such
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the holders of the Certificates
therein
(subject to the second and third provisos in the sole sentence of
the preceding
paragraph), the Seller shall in all cases on or prior to the second
anniversary
of the Closing Date either cause such Document Defect or Breach to
be cured or
repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan (for the
avoidance of
doubt, the foregoing two-year period shall not be deemed to be a
time limitation
on the Seller's right to cure a Document Defect as set forth in
this Section 3).
The delivery of a commitment to issue a policy of lender's title
insurance as
described in representation 8 set forth on Schedule I hereto 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 180th day following the Closing Date.
 
            
To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or
substitute for a Crossed Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed
above in this
Section 3(c) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed
Loans in such
Crossed Loan Group, the Seller and the Purchaser shall not enforce
any remedies
against the other's Primary Collateral (as defined below), but each
is permitted
to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its
respective
Crossed Loan(s), so long as such exercise does not materially
impair the ability
of the other party to exercise its remedies against the Primary
Collateral
securing the Crossed Loan(s) held thereby.
 
            
If the exercise 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 Loan(s) 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 consistent with this Agreement to remove the threat of
material
impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other
mutually agreed
upon 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,
if the related
Mortgage Loan documents do not so provide, then on a pro rata basis
based upon
their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a
Crossed Loan is modified to terminate the related
cross-collateralization and/or
cross-default provisions, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee
an Opinion of
Counsel that such modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event.
 
            
For purposes hereof, "Primary Collateral" shall mean the Mortgaged
Property directly securing a Crossed Loan and excluding any
property as to which
the related lien may only be foreclosed upon by exercise of
cross-collateralization provisions of such Mortgage Loans.
 
            
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section
3(c), if there is a Document Defect or Breach (which Document
Defect or Breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders therein) with respect to one or
more
Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall not be
obligated to repurchase or substitute the Mortgage Loan if (i) the
affected
Mortgaged
 
 
                                       
11
 
 
 
Property(ies) may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial
release
provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such
Mortgaged
Property(ies) are, in fact, released) and to the extent not covered
by the
applicable release price (if any) required under the related
Mortgage Loan
documents, the Seller pays (or causes to be paid) any additional
amounts
necessary to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably
incurred by
the applicable Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
or the Trust
Fund in connection with such release, (ii) the remaining Mortgaged
Property(ies)
satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan
documents and
the Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such
release would
not cause either of REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the
Code or result in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or
"contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions
and (iii) each
Rating Agency then rating the Certificates shall have provided
written
confirmation that such release would not cause the then-current
ratings of the
Certificates rated by it to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn.
 
            
The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c) notwithstanding, the
Purchaser's sole remedy (subject to the last sentence of this
paragraph) for a
breach of representation 30 set forth on Schedule I hereto shall be
the cure of
such breach by the Seller, which cure shall be effected through the
payment by
the Seller of such costs and expenses (without regard to whether
such costs and
expenses are material or not) specified in such representation that
have not, at
the time of such cure, been received by the applicable Master
Servicer or the
Special Servicer from the related Mortgagor and not a repurchase or
substitution
of the related Mortgage Loan. Following the Seller's remittance of
funds in
payment of such costs and expenses, the Seller shall be deemed to
have cured the
breach of representation 30 in all respects. To the extent any fees
or expenses
that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently
obtained from the
related Mortgagor, the cure payment made by the Seller shall be
returned to the
Seller. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this paragraph, the
Seller,
acting in its sole discretion, may effect a repurchase or
substitution (in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(c) setting forth
the manner in
which a Mortgage Loan may be repurchased or substituted) of a
Mortgage Loan, as
to which representation 30 set forth on Schedule I has been
breached, in lieu of
paying the costs and expenses that were the subject of the breach
of
representation 30 set forth on Schedule I.
 
            
(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
applicable Purchase
Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or
Substitution
Shortfall Amount(s), as applicable, in the applicable Master
Servicer's
Collection Account, and, if applicable, 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 applicable Master Servicer, respectively, (i)
the Trustee
shall be required to execute and deliver such endorsements and
assignments as
are provided to it by the applicable Master Servicer or the Seller,
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 applicable 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 applicable Master Servicer and
 
 
                                       
12
 
 
 
the Special Servicer shall release to the Seller any Escrow
Payments and Reserve
Funds held by it in respect of such repurchased or deleted Mortgage
Loan(s).
 
            
At the time a substitution is made, the Seller shall deliver the
related Mortgage File to the Trustee and certify that the
substitute Mortgage
Loan is a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.
 
            
No substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans may be made in any calendar month after
the
Determination Date for such month. Periodic Payments due with
respect to any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan after the related date of
substitution shall
be part of REMIC I, as applicable. No substitution of a Qualified
Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a deleted Mortgage Loan shall be permitted under
this
Agreement if, after such substitution, the aggregate of the Stated
Principal
Balances of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans which have been
substituted
for deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds 10% of the aggregate Cut-off
Date Balance of
all the Mortgage Loans and the Other Mortgage Loans. Periodic
Payments due with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan on or prior to
the related
date of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund or REMIC
I.
 
            
(e)
   
  
This Section 3 provides the sole remedies available to the
Purchaser, 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.
 
            
(f)
     
If, upon any payment in full with respect to any MERS
Mortgage Loan, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer of
such Mortgage Loan is registered with MERS and is unable to reflect
the release
of the related Mortgage on the MERS(R) System, the Seller shall
take all
necessary action to reflect the release of such Mortgage on the
MERS(R) System
and shall take such other actions as are necessary to enable the
Master Servicer
and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of Section 3.10 of
the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and any other provisions relating to the
release of the
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgage File.
 
            
SECTION 4.
  
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Purchaser. In order to induce the Seller to enter into this
Agreement, the
Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants for the benefit
of the
Seller as of the date hereof that:
 
            
(a)
     
The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and the
Purchaser has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has the power
and
authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all
transactions
contemplated hereby.
 
            
(b)
     
This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Purchaser, all requisite action by
the Purchaser's
directors and officers has been taken in connection therewith, and
(assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Seller)
this Agreement
constitutes the valid, legal and binding agreement of the
 
 
                                
       
13
 
 
 
Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its
terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) laws relating to
bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership,
conservatorship
or moratorium, (B) other laws relating to or affecting the rights
of creditors
generally, or (C) general equity principles (regardless of whether
such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
            
(c)
     
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 articles of
incorporation or
bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative
decree or order
to which it is subject if compliance therewith is necessary (1) to
ensure the
enforceability of this Agreement or (2) for the Purchaser to
perform its duties
and obligations under this Agreement 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, which
default might have consequences that would, in the Purchaser's
reasonable and
good faith judgment, materially and adversely affect the condition
(financial or
other) or operations of the Purchaser or its properties or have
consequences
that would materially and adversely affect its performance
hereunder.
 
            
(d)
     
The Purchaser is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
instrument or subject to any certificate of incorporation, bylaws
or any other
corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction,
decree, law or
regulation that would, in the Purchaser's reasonable and good faith
judgment,
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser 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
Purchaser of
its obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent such
consent has been
obtained).
 
            
(e)
     
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, under federal or
state law, 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.
 
            
(f)
     
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 a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in
exchange for
consideration consisting of a cash amount equal to the aggregate
Purchase
Consideration.
 
            
(g)
     
There is no action, suit, 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 under the terms of
this Agreement.
 
 
                              
         
14
 
 
 
            
(h)
     
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 other governmental agency or body, which default might
have
consequences that would, in the Purchaser's reasonable and good
faith judgment,
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other)
or operations
of the Purchaser or its properties or might have consequences that
would
materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.
 
            
SECTION 5.
  
Closing. The closing of the sale of the Mortgage
Loans (the "Closing") shall be held at the offices of Sidley Austin
LLP on the

18
 
 
 
            
SECTION 8.
  
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 of this Agreement 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 UCC of
the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2 of
this Agreement 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 (other than investment earnings required by Section
3.19(a) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to offset Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls), from
time to time held or invested in the applicable Master Servicer's
Collection
Account, the Distribution Account or, if established, the REO
Account 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 of this Agreement 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 UCC 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. The Seller does
hereby
consent to the filing by the Purchaser of financing statements
relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby without the signature of the
Seller.
 
            
SECTION 9.
  
Notice of Exchange Act Reportable Events. The Seller
hereby agrees to deliver to the Purchaser any disclosure
information relating to
any event, specifically relating to the Seller, reasonably
determined in good
faith by the Purchaser as required to be reported on Form 8-K, Form
10-D or Form
10-K by the Trust Fund (in formatting reasonably appropriate for
inclusion in
such form) insofar as such disclosure is required under Item 1117
or 1119 of
Regulation AB or Item 1.03 to Form 8-K. The Seller shall use
reasonable efforts
to deliver proposed disclosure language relating to any event,
specifically
relating to the Seller, described under Item 1117 or 1119 of
Regulation AB or
Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably
practicable after
the Seller becomes aware of such event and in no event
 
 
                                    
   
19
 
 
 
more than (2) business days following the occurrence of such event
if such event
is reportable under Item 1.03 to Form 8-K. The obligation of the
Seller to
provide the above referenced disclosure materials in any fiscal
year of the
Trust will terminate upon the Trustee's filing a Form 15 with
respect to the
Trust as to that fiscal year in accordance with Section 8.16 of the
Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the reporting requirements with respect to
the Trust
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act") have
otherwise automatically suspended. The Seller hereby acknowledges
that the
information to be provided by it pursuant to this Section 9 will be
used in the
preparation of reports meeting the reporting requirements of the
Trust under
Section 13(a) and/or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

specified for such party on Exhibit A hereto, 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
received, in each
case given or addressed as aforesaid.
 
            
SECTION 11. 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 12. 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
that prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
 
            
SECTION 13. 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.

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. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW
YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE
PARTIES HERETO
HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST

SECTION 15. 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 that
obtains the principal relief it has sought, whether by compromise
settlement or
judgment. If the party that 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 16. 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 17. 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 (as intended third party beneficiaries
hereof), the
Initial Purchasers (also as intended third party beneficiaries
hereof) and their
permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement is enforceable by
the
Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and the other third party
beneficiaries
hereto in all respects to the same extent as if they had been
signatories
hereof.
 
            
SECTION 18. 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 hereto against
whom such waiver
or modification is sought to be enforced. The Seller's obligations
hereunder
shall in no way be expanded, changed or otherwise affected by any
amendment of
or modification to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including,
without
limitation, any defined terms therein, unless the Seller has
consented to such
amendment or modification in writing.
 
            
SECTION 19. Accountants' Letters. The parties hereto shall
cooperate
with Ernst & Young LLP in making available all information and
taking all steps

other statement in this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Schedule I
hereto) is made with respect to a Person's "knowledge," such
statement refers to
such Person's employees or agents who were or are responsible for
or involved
with the indicated matter and have actual knowledge of the matter
in question.
 
            
SECTION 21. Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans. Each Crossed Loan
Group is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. For purposes of
reference,
the Mortgaged Property that relates or corresponds to any of the

Agreement, including,
without limitation, each of the representations and warranties set
forth in
Schedule I hereto and each of the capitalized terms used herein but
defined in

Loans in such
Crossed Loan Group, the inclusion of the original of such document
in the

SCHEDULE I
 
                  
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
            
For purposes of this Schedule I, the "Value" of a Mortgaged
Property
shall mean the value of such Mortgaged Property as determined by
the appraisal
(and subject to the assumptions set forth in the appraisal)
performed in
connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan.
 
            
1.
      
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loans is true
and correct in
all material respects (and contains all the items listed in the
definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule") as of the dates of the information set
forth therein
or, if not set forth therein, and in all events no earlier than, as
of the
respective Cut-off Dates for the Mortgage Loans.
 
            
2.
      
Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller had
good title to,
and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan. The Seller has full
right, power
and authority to transfer and assign each Mortgage Loan to or at
the direction
of the Purchaser free and clear of any and all pledges, liens,
charges, security
interests, participation interests and/or other interests and
encumbrances
(except for certain servicing rights as provided in the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement, any permitted subservicing agreements and servicing
rights purchase
agreements pertaining thereto and the rights of a holder of a
related Non-Trust
Loan pursuant to a Loan Combination Intercreditor Agreement). The
Seller has
validly and effectively conveyed to the Purchaser all legal and
beneficial
interest in and to each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,
lien,
charge, security interest or other encumbrance (except for certain
servicing
rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any
permitted
subservicing agreements and servicing rights purchase agreements
pertaining
thereto); provided that recording and/or filing of various transfer
documents
are to be completed after the Closing Date as contemplated hereby
and by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and provided further that, if the
related
Mortgage and/or Assignment of Leases has been recorded in the name
of MERS or
its designee, no assignment of Mortgage and/or Assignment of Leases
in favor of
the Trustee is required to be prepared or delivered and instead,
the Seller
shall take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust to be
shown as the
owner of the Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of
the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained
by MERS. The
sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or its designee does
not require the
Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent
that has not
been obtained. Each Mortgage Note is, or shall be as of the Closing
Date,
properly endorsed to the Purchaser or its designee and each such
endorsement is,
or shall be as of the Closing Date, genuine.
 
            
3.
      
Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and/or
interest under any Mortgage Loan was 30 days or more past due as of
the Due Date
for such Mortgage Loan in December 2006, without giving effect to
any applicable
grace period, nor was any such payment
 
 
 
 
30 days or more delinquent since the date of origination of any
Mortgage Loan,
without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
 
            
4.
      
Lien; Valid Assignment. Each Mortgage related to and
delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan constitutes a valid
and, subject
to the limitations and exceptions set forth in representation 13
below,
enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged
Property, prior to
all other liens and encumbrances, and there are no liens and/or
encumbrances
that are pari passu with the lien of such Mortgage, in any event
subject,
however, to the following (collectively, the "Permitted
Encumbrances"): (a) the
lien for current real estate taxes, ground rents, water charges,
sewer rents and
assessments not yet delinquent or accruing interest or penalties;
(b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters that are
of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender's
title insurance
policy (or, if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title
policy or a
"marked-up" commitment binding upon the title insurer); (c)
exceptions and
exclusions specifically referred to in such lender's title
insurance policy (or,
if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title policy or
"marked-up"
commitment binding upon the title insurer); (d) other matters to
which like
properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as
tenants only)
under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related
Mortgaged Property;
(f) if such Mortgage Loan constitutes a Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan, the
lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the
same Crossed
Group; (g) if the related Mortgaged Property consists of one or
more units in a
condominium, the related condominium declaration; and (h) the
rights of the
holder of any Non-Trust Loan that is part of a related Loan
Combination to which
any such Mortgage Loan belongs. The Permitted Encumbrances do not,
individually
or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the security
intended to be
provided by the related Mortgage, the current principal use of the
related
Mortgaged Property, the Value of the Mortgaged Property or the
current ability
of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to
service such
Mortgage Loan. The related assignment of such Mortgage executed and
delivered in
favor of the Trustee is in recordable form (but for insertion of
the name and
address of the assignee and any related recording information which
is not yet
available to the Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid, binding
and, subject to
the limitations and exceptions set forth in representation 13
below, enforceable
assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the
Trustee provided
that, if the related Mortgage and/or Assignment of Leases has been
recorded in
the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage and/or
Assignment of
Leases in favor of the Trustee is required to be prepared or
delivered and
instead, the Seller shall take all actions as are necessary to
cause the Trust
to be shown as the owner of the Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for
purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial
ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS.
 
            
5.
      
Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists, as part of
the related Mortgage File, an Assignment of Leases (either as a
separate
instrument or as part of the Mortgage) that relates to and was
delivered in
connection with each Mortgage Loan and that establishes and creates
a valid,
subsisting and, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth
in
representation 13 below, enforceable first priority lien on and
security
interest in, subject to applicable law, the property, rights and
interests of
the related Mortgagor described therein, except for Permitted
Encumbrances and
except for the holder of any Non-Trust Loan that is part of a
related Loan
Combination to which any such Mortgage Loan belongs, and except
that a license
may have been granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain
rights and
perform
 
 
                                       
I-2
 
 
 
certain obligations of the lessor under the relevant lease or
leases, including,
without limitation, the right to operate the related leased
property so long as
no event of default has occurred under such Mortgage Loan; and each
assignor
thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related
assignment of any
Assignment of Leases not included in a Mortgage, executed and
delivered in favor
of the Trustee is in recordable form (but for insertion of the name
and address
of the assignee and any related recording information which is not
yet available
to the Seller), and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and,
subject to the
limitations and exceptions set forth in representation 13 below,
enforceable
assignment of such Assignment of Leases from the relevant assignor
to the
Trustee; provided that, if the related Mortgage and/or Assignment
of Leases has
been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of
Mortgage
and/or Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee is required to
be prepared
or delivered and instead, the Seller shall take all actions as are
necessary to
cause the Trust to be shown as the owner of the Mortgage Loan on
the records of
MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of
beneficial ownership
of mortgages maintained by MERS. The related Mortgage or related
Assignment of
Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for the appointment of
a receiver
for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter
into
possession of the related Mortgaged Property to collect the rents
or provides
for rents to be paid directly to the related mortgagee, if there is
an event of
default beyond applicable notice and grace periods. Except for the
holder of the
related Non-Trust Loan with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is
part of a Loan
Combination, no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any
interest in any
payments due under the related leases on which the Mortgagor is the
landlord,
covered by the related Assignment of Leases.
 
            
6.
      
Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. In the case of
each Mortgage Loan, except by a written instrument which has been
delivered to
the Purchaser or its designee as a part of the related Mortgage
File, (a) the
related Mortgage (including any amendments or supplements thereto
included in
the related Mortgage File) has not been impaired, waived, modified,
altered,
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, (b) neither the
related
Mortgaged Property nor any material portion thereof has been
released from the
lien of such Mortgage and (c) the related Mortgagor has not been
released from
its obligations under such Mortgage, in whole or in material part.
With respect
to each Mortgage Loan, since the later of (a) November 20, 2006 and
(b) the
closing date of such Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not executed any
written
instrument that (i) impaired, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded
such Mortgage Loan, (ii) waived, modified or altered any material
term of such
Mortgage Loan, (iii) released the Mortgaged Property or any
material portion
thereof from the lien of the related Mortgage, or (iv) released the
related
Mortgagor from its obligations under such Mortgage Loan in whole or
material
part. For avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence does not
relate to any
release of escrows by the Seller or a servicer on its behalf.
 
            
7.
      
Condition of Property; Condemnation. In the case of each
Mortgage Loan, except as set forth in an engineering report
prepared by an
independent engineering consultant in connection with the
origination of such
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Seller's
knowledge, in
good repair and free and clear of any damage that would materially
and adversely
affect its value as security for such Mortgage Loan (except in any
such case
where an escrow of funds, letter of credit or insurance coverage
exists
sufficient to effect the necessary repairs and maintenance). As of
the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, there was no proceeding pending
for the
condemnation of all or any material part of the
 
 
                                       
I-3
 
 
 
related Mortgaged Property. As of the Closing Date, the Seller has
not received
notice and has no knowledge of any proceeding pending for the
condemnation of
all or any material portion of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage
Loan. As of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan and, to
the Seller's
knowledge, as of the date hereof, (a) none of the material
improvements on the
related Mortgaged Property encroach upon the boundaries and, to the
extent in
effect at the time of construction, do not encroach upon the
building
restriction lines of such property, and none of the material
improvements on the
related Mortgaged Property encroached over any easements, except,
in each case,
for encroachments that are insured against by the lender's title
insurance
policy referred to in representation 8 below or that do not
materially and
adversely affect the Value or current use of such Mortgaged
Property and (b) no
improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Mortgaged
Property so
as to materially and adversely affect the Value of such Mortgaged
Property,
except those encroachments that are insured against by the lender's
title
insurance policy referred to in representation 8 below.
 
            
8.
      
Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (or
an equivalent
form of) lender's title insurance policy (the "Title Policy") (or,
if such
policy has yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy or a "marked up"
commitment
binding on the title insurer) in the original principal amount of
such Mortgage
Loan after all advances of principal, insuring that the related
Mortgage is a
valid first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only
to the
Permitted Encumbrances, except that in the case of a Mortgage Loan
as to which
the related Mortgaged Property is made up of more than one parcel
of property,
each of which is secured by a separate Mortgage, such Mortgage (and
therefore
the related Title Policy) may be in an amount less than the
original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan, but is not less than the allocated
amount of
subject parcel constituting a portion of the related Mortgaged
Property. Such
Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be
provided
thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have
been paid, no
material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been
paid
thereunder. No holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or
omission,
anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title
Policy.
Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the related
Mortgage Loan
to the Trustee, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued,
the coverage
to be provided thereby) inures to the benefit of the Trustee as
sole insured
without the consent of or notice to the insurer. Such Title Policy
contains no
exclusion for whether, or it affirmatively insures (unless the
related Mortgaged
Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative
insurance is not
available) that, (a) the related Mortgaged Property has access to a
public road,
and (b) the area shown on the survey, if any, reviewed or prepared
in connection
with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan is the same as
the property
legally described in the related Mortgage.
 
          
  
9.
      
No Holdback. The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been
fully disbursed (except in those cases where the full amount of the
Mortgage
Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in
escrow or reserve
accounts documented as part of the Mortgage Loan documents and the
rights to
which are transferred to the Trustee (in the case of the Park La
Brea Apartments
Trust Mortgage Loan, subject to the rights of the JP Series
2006-LDP8 Trustee),
pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing,
repairs or
other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property), and
there is no
obligation for future advances with respect thereto.
 
 
                                       
I-4
 
 
 
            
10.
     
Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each
Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain
customary and,
subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth in
representation 13 below,
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of
the holder
thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related
Mortgaged
Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be
provided
thereby, including, without limitation, judicial or non-judicial
foreclosure or
similar proceedings (as applicable for the jurisdiction where the
related
Mortgaged Property is located). None of the Mortgage Loan documents
contains any
provision that expressly excuses the related Mortgagor from
obtaining and
maintaining insurance coverage for acts of terrorism.
 
            
11.
     
Trustee under Deed of Trust. If the Mortgage for any
Mortgage Loan is a deed of trust, then (a) a trustee, duly
qualified under
applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly
designated and
currently so serves or may be substituted in accordance with the
Mortgage and
applicable law, and (b) no fees or expenses are or will become
payable to such
trustee by the Seller, the Purchaser or any transferee thereof
except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the related
Mortgagor or in
connection with any full or partial release of the related
Mortgaged Property or
related security for such Mortgage Loan.
 
            
12.
     
Environmental Conditions. Except in the case of the
Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex B hereto (as to which
properties the
only environmental investigation conducted in connection with the
origination of
the related Mortgage Loan related to asbestos-containing materials
and
lead-based paint), (a) an environmental site assessment meeting
ASTM standards
and covering all environmental hazards typically assessed for
similar properties
including use, type and tenants of the related Mortgaged Property,
a transaction
screen meeting ASTM standards or an update of a previously
conducted
environmental site assessment (which update may have been performed
pursuant to
a database update), was performed by an independent third-party
environmental
consultant (licensed to the extent required by applicable state
law) with
respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan in
connection with
the origination of such Mortgage Loan, (b) the report of each such
assessment,
update or screen, if any (an "Environmental Report"), is dated no
earlier than
(or, alternatively, has been updated within) twelve (12) months
prior to the
date hereof, (c) a copy of each such Environmental Report has been
delivered to
the Purchaser, and (d) either: (i) no such Environmental Report, if
any, reveals
that as of the date of the report there is a material violation of
applicable
environmental laws with respect to any known circumstances or
conditions
relating to the related Mortgaged Property; or (ii) if any such
Environmental
Report does reveal any such circumstances or conditions with
respect to the
related Mortgaged Property and the same have not been subsequently
remediated in
all material respects, then one or more of the following are
true--(A) one or
more parties not related to the related Mortgagor and collectively
having
financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to cure the
violation
was identified as the responsible party or parties for such
conditions or
circumstances, and such conditions or circumstances do not
materially impair the
Value of the related Mortgaged Property, (B) the related Mortgagor
was required
to provide additional security reasonably estimated to be adequate
to cure the
violations and/or to obtain and, for the period contemplated by the
related
Mortgage Loan documents, maintain an operations and maintenance
plan, (C) the
related Mortgagor, or other responsible party, provided a "no
further action"
letter or other evidence that would be acceptable to a reasonably
prudent
commercial mortgage lender, that applicable federal, state or local
governmental
authorities had no current intention of taking any action, and
 
 
                                       
I-5
 
 
 
are not requiring any action, in respect of such conditions or
circumstances,
(D) such conditions or circumstances were investigated further and
based upon
such additional investigation, a qualified environmental consultant
recommended
no further investigation or remediation, (E) the expenditure of
funds reasonably
estimated to be necessary to effect such remediation is not greater
than 2% of
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (F)
there exists
an escrow of funds reasonably estimated to be sufficient for
purposes of
effecting such remediation, (G) the related Mortgaged Property is
insured under
a policy of insurance, subject to certain per occurrence and
aggregate limits
and a deductible, against certain losses arising from such
circumstances and
conditions or (H) a responsible party provided a guaranty or
indemnity to the
related Mortgagor to cover the costs of any required investigation,
testing,
monitoring or remediation and, as of the date of origination of the
related
Mortgage Loan, such responsible party had financial resources
reasonably
estimated to be adequate to cure the subject violation in all
material respects.
To the Seller's actual knowledge and without inquiry beyond the
related
Environmental Report, there are no significant or material
circumstances or
conditions with respect to such Mortgaged Property not revealed in
any such
Environmental Report, where obtained, or in any Mortgagor
questionnaire
delivered to the Seller in connection with the issue of any related
environmental insurance policy, if applicable, that would require
investigation
or remediation by the related Mortgagor under, or otherwise be a
material
violation of, any applicable environmental law. The Mortgage Loan
documents for
each Mortgage Loan require the related Mortgagor to comply in all
material
respects with all applicable federal, state and local environmental
laws and
regulations. Each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Annex C
hereto is covered
by a secured creditor environmental insurance policy and each such
policy is
noncancellable during its term, is in the amount at least equal to
125% of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, has a term ending no sooner
than the
date which is five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage
Loan to which
it relates and either does not provide for a deductible or the
deductible amount
is held in escrow and all premiums have been paid in full. Each
Mortgagor
represents and warrants in the related Mortgage Loan documents that
except as
set forth in certain environmental reports and to its knowledge it
has not used,
caused or permitted to exist and will not use, cause or permit to
exist on the
related Mortgaged Property any hazardous materials in any manner
which violates
federal, state or local laws, ordinances, regulations, orders,
directives or
policies governing the use, storage, treatment, transportation,
manufacture,
refinement, handling, production or disposal of hazardous
materials. The related
Mortgagor (or affiliate thereof) has agreed to indemnify, defend
and hold the
Seller and its successors and assigns harmless from and against any
and all
losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, penalties, fines,
out-of-pocket expenses
and claims of any kind whatsoever (including attorneys' fees and
costs) paid,
incurred or suffered by or asserted against, any such party
resulting from a
breach of environmental representations, warranties or covenants
given by the
Mortgagor in connection with such Mortgage Loan.

Loan Document Status. Each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and each
other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor
with respect
to each Mortgage Loan is
