EXHIBIT 99.1
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1,
2006
(this "Agreement"), is entered into between WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
(the "Seller") and WACHOVIA COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC.
(the
"Purchaser").
The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to
purchase
certain multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans")
identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule") annexed
hereto as
Exhibit A. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans,
along with
certain other mortgage loans (the "Other Mortgage Loans"), into a
trust fund
(the "Trust Fund"), the beneficial ownership of which will be
evidenced by
multiple classes (each, a "Class") of mortgage pass-through
certificates (the
"Certificates"). One or more "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" ("REMIC")
elections will be made with respect to most of the Trust Fund. The
Trust Fund
will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a
pooling and
servicing agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated
as of
December 1, 2006, among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wachovia Bank,
National
Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master
Servicer"), LNR
Partners, Inc., as special servicer (the "Special Servicer") and
Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but
not defined
herein (including the Schedules attached hereto) have the
respective meanings
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase,
the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
Mortgage Loan
Schedule may be amended to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans
delivered to the
Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The Mortgage Loans are
expected to have
an aggregate principal balance of $3,036,387,193 (the "Wachovia
Mortgage Loan
Balance") (subject to a variance of plus or minus 5.0%) as of the
close of
business on the Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments
due on or
before such date, whether or not such payments are received.
The Wachovia Mortgage Loan Balance, together with the aggregate
principal balance of the Other Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date (after
giving effect to any payments due on or before such date whether or
not such
payments are received), is expected to equal an aggregate principal
balance (the
"Cut-Off Date Pool Balance") of $3,371,274,173 (subject to a
variance of plus or
minus 5.0%). The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take
place on
December 21, 2006, or such other date as shall be mutually
acceptable to the
parties to this Agreement (the "Closing Date"). The consideration
(the
"Aggregate Purchase Price") for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal
to (i) %
of the Wachovia Mortgage Loan Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, plus
(ii)
$9,602,753, which amount represents the amount of interest accrued
on the
Wachovia Mortgage Loan Balance at the related Net Mortgage Rate for
the period
from and including the Cut-Off Date up to but not including the
Closing Date but
does not reflect any deduction for any fees and/or expenses
incurred in
connection with this transaction.
The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller or its
designee by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the
Closing Date.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by
the
Seller of the Aggregate Purchase Price and satisfaction of the
other conditions
to closing that are for the benefit of the Seller, the Seller does
hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser,
without
recourse (except as set forth in this Agreement), all the right,
title and
interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on
the Mortgage
Loan Schedule as of such date, on a servicing released basis,
together with all
of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of
any related
title, hazard, primary mortgage or other insurance proceeds.
(b) The Purchaser or its assignee shall be entitled to receive
all
scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-Off
Date, and all
other recoveries of principal and interest collected after the
Cut-Off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans due on or
before the Cut-Off Date). All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due
on or before the Cut-Off Date but collected on or after the Cut-Off
Date, and
recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the
Cut-Off Date
(only in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans
due on or
before the Cut-Off Date and principal prepayments thereon), shall
belong to, and
shall be promptly remitted to, the Seller.
(c) No later than the Closing Date, the Seller shall, on behalf
of
the Purchaser, deliver to the Trustee, the documents and
instruments specified
below with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each a "Mortgage File").
All Mortgage
Files so delivered will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all
times prior to
the Closing Date. Each Mortgage File shall contain the following
documents:
(i) the original executed Mortgage Note including any power of
attorney related to the execution thereof, together with any and
all
intervening endorsements thereon, endorsed on its face or by
allonge
attached thereto (without recourse, representation or warranty,

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

attached thereto);

all
intervening assignments thereof, in each case (unless not yet

(iii) an original or copy of any related Assignment of Leases
(if
such item is a document separate from the Mortgage), together with

thereon or certified by the applicable recording office;
(iv) an original executed assignment, in recordable form (except
for
any missing recording information), of (a) the Mortgage, (b) any
related
Assignment of Leases (if such item is a document separate from
the
Mortgage and to the extent not already assigned pursuant to
preceding
clause (a)) and (c) any other recorded document relating to the
Mortgage
Loan otherwise included in the Mortgage File, in favor of "Wells

(v) an original assignment of all unrecorded documents relating

Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-C29", or in
blank;

assumption and substitution agreements in those instances where the
terms
or provisions of the Mortgage or Mortgage Note have been

modified or the Mortgage Loan has been assumed or consolidated;
(vii) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of
lender's title insurance or, if such policy has not been issued
or

(which
may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by
an
authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to
provide
the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an
authorized
representative of the title company) to issue such title insurance
policy;
(viii) any filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or other
evidence of filing satisfactory to the Purchaser of any prior
UCC
Financing Statements in favor of the originator of such Mortgage
Loan or
in favor of any assignee prior to the Trustee (but only to the
extent the
Seller had possession of such UCC Financing Statements prior to
the
Closing Date) and, if there is an effective UCC Financing Statement
and
continuation statement in favor of the Seller on record with
the
applicable public office for UCC Financing Statements, an original
UCC
Amendment, in form suitable for filing in favor of "Wells Fargo

N.A., as trustee for the registered holders of Wachovia Bank
Commercial
Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

no
assignments shall be provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Newport Bluffs
Loan, the
2006-C28 Trustee will hold the original documents related to the
Newport Bluffs
Loan for the benefit of the 2006-C28 Trust Fund, other than the
Mortgage Note
which will be held by the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(d) The Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary (i)
to
permit the Trustee to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section
2.01(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) to perform its obligations
described in
Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Without
limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if a draw upon a letter of credit is
required
before its transfer to the Trust Fund can be completed, the Seller
shall draw
upon such letter of credit for the benefit of the Trust Fund
pursuant to written
instructions from the Master Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse
the Trustee
for all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the
Trustee for
recording any documents described in Section 2(c)(iv)(c) hereof and
filing any
assignments of UCC Financing Statements described in the proviso in
the third to
last sentence in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(e) All documents and records (except draft documents,
privileged

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

will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller (the
"indemnifying
party") under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party
under Section 7(a) hereof (except to the extent that such omission
has
prejudiced the indemnifying party in any material respect) or from
any liability
which it may have otherwise than under this Section 7. In case any

notice
delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the

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

cooperate
with KPMG LLP in making available all information and taking all
steps
reasonably necessary to permit such accountants to deliver the

SCHEDULE I
General Mortgage Representations and Warranties
For purposes of this Schedule I, the phrases "to the knowledge
of
the Seller" or "to the Seller's knowledge" shall mean, except where
otherwise
expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the
Seller or any
servicer acting on its behalf regarding the matters referred to, in
each case:
(i) at the time of the Seller's origination or acquisition of the
particular
Mortgage Loan, after the Seller having conducted such inquiry and
due diligence
into such matters as would be customarily performed by a prudent
institutional
commercial or multifamily, as applicable, mortgage lender; and (ii)
subsequent
to such origination, the Seller having utilized monitoring
practices that would
be utilized by a prudent commercial or multifamily, as applicable,
mortgage
lender and having made prudent inquiry as to the knowledge of the
servicer
servicing such Mortgage Loan on its behalf. Also, for purposes of
these
representations and warranties, the phrases "to the actual
knowledge of the
Seller" or "to the Seller's actual knowledge" shall mean, except
where otherwise
expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the
Seller or any
servicer acting on its behalf without any express or implied
obligation to make
inquiry. All information contained in documents which are part of
or required to
be part of a Mortgage File shall be deemed to be within the
knowledge and the
actual knowledge of the Seller. Wherever there is a reference to
receipt by, or
possession of, the Seller of any information or documents, or to
any action
taken by the Seller or not taken by the Seller, such reference
shall include the
receipt or possession of such information or documents by, or the
taking of such
action or the failure to take such action by, the Seller or any
servicer acting
on its behalf.
1. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan set forth in
the Mortgage
Loan Schedule was true and correct in all material respects as of
the
Cut-Off Date and included all of the material information required
by the
definition of Mortgage Loan Schedule.
2. As of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan complied
in all
material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of

the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner
of,
each Mortgage Loan, and the Seller is transferring such Mortgage
Loan free
and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, security
interests or
any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such
Mortgage
Loan. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement, the Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to
the
Purchaser all legal and beneficial interest in and to such
Mortgage
