This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1,
2006
(this "Agreement"), is entered into between IXIS Real Estate
Capital Inc. (the
"Seller") and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc. (the
"Purchaser").
The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to

"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
$512,500,000 (the "IXIS 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 IXIS 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)
105.7678% of the
IXIS Mortgage Loan Balance as of the Cut-off Date, plus (ii)
$937,993, which
amount represents the amount of interest accrued on the IXIS
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

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 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)
6
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
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

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

Seller
and the Seller's performance and compliance with the terms of
this
Agreement will not (A) violate the Seller's certificate 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

constitute
a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material
contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Seller is a
party or
by which the Seller is bound, 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

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 certificate of incorporation,

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,

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

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
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

Defect or
Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, which

however, that, unless the Document Defect or Breach would cause

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 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
10
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 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
11
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 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
12
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 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.
13
(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

(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

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.

or
instrument or subject to any certificate of incorporation,

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

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.
(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

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.
