AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of

consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Sale and Purchase of
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to sell, and the
Depositor agrees to purchase, on the date of issuance of the
Securities, which is expected to be on or about November 30,
2005 (the “Closing Date”), the Mortgage Loans having an
aggregate principal balance as of November 1, 2005 (the

(b) The Seller and the Depositor
have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller
are to be purchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement,
and the Seller has prepared, or has provided information to the
Depositor enabling the Depositor to prepare, Schedule I attached
hereto (“Schedule I”), setting forth information
with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased by the Depositor
as of the Closing Date. The Seller shall, with the
Depositor’s consent, amend or modify, or provide information
to the Depositor enabling the Depositor to amend or modify
Schedule I on or prior to the Closing Date if necessary to
reflect the actual Mortgage Loans transferred by the Seller and
accepted by the Depositor on the Closing Date. Schedule I, as
so amended or modified, shall conform to the requirements of the
Depositor as set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of
“Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, and shall be the definitive Mortgage Loan
Schedule attached as an exhibit to the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement.
Section 2. Purchase Price of
Mortgage Loans.
(a) On the Closing Date, as full
consideration for the Seller’s sale of the Mortgage Loans to
the Depositor, the Depositor shall deliver to the Seller cash equal
to $1,000,713,641.54.
(b) The Depositor or any assignee or
transferee of the Depositor (which may include the Issuer, acting
on behalf of the Noteholders) shall be entitled to all Monthly
Payments due after the Cut-off Date, and all curtailments or other
principal prepayments received with respect to the Mortgage Loans
paid by each borrower after the Cut-off Date, except that the
Depositor or any assignee or transferee of the Depositor will not
be entitled to any curtailments or other prepayments received on or
after the Cut-off Date but reflected in the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance. All Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date and
collected on or after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the
Seller.
(c) Pursuant to the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will transfer and assign all its
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and any
other assets constituting the Trust Estate to the Issuer in
consideration of the issuance of the Securities to the Depositor or
its designee(s).
2
Section 3. Transfer of the
Mortgage Loans .
(a) Mortgage File . For
purposes of this Agreement, the “Mortgage File” will be
as defined in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Transfer of Ownership .
Upon the sale of any Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage
Loan Document (as defined below) with respect thereto shall be
vested in the Depositor, and the ownership of all other records and
documents with respect thereto prepared by or which come into the
possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Depositor.
The Seller shall, upon the direction of the Depositor, promptly
deliver to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the
“Custodian”) or such other designee as the Depositor
may direct, any documents that come into its possession with
respect to such Mortgage Loans following such sale. Prior to such
delivery, the Seller shall hold any such documents for the benefit
of the Depositor, its successors and assigns.
(c) Delivery of Mortgage
Files . To the extent not previously delivered to the Depositor
or a designee of the Depositor, the Seller shall, not later than
two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, at the direction of
the Depositor, deliver to the Custodian, each of the mortgage loan
documents required to be included in the Mortgage File pursuant to
Section 2.01(b) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (the
“Mortgage Loan Documents”). The Mortgage Note for each
such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed in blank or as otherwise
directed by the Depositor, and the Mortgage for each such Mortgage
Loan shall name the Depositor, the Custodian or such other party as
designated by the Depositor as mortgagee or beneficiary, as
appropriate, or be assigned in blank or as otherwise directed by
the Depositor.
Prior to the transfer and sale of
any Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to the
Custodian shall be held by the Custodian for the benefit of the
Seller and the possession by the Custodian of such Mortgage Loan
Documents will be at the will of the Seller and will be in a
custodial capacity only. Following the transfer and sale of any
Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor in accordance with
the terms and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this
Agreement, the Custodian will hold all Mortgage Loan Documents
delivered to it hereunder for the benefit of the Depositor, as its
agent and bailee. The Custodian will act as a custodian for the
receipt and custody of all Mortgage Files and, after the transfer
of any Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Issuer, the
Custodian will hold all Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to it
hereunder for the benefit of the Issuer and on behalf of the
Noteholders.
(d) Examination of Mortgage Loan
Documents: Acceptance of Mortgage Loans . To the extent not
previously delivered to the Depositor or a designee of the
Depositor, the Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, either
(i) deliver to the Depositor or its designee in escrow, for
examination, the Mortgage Loan Documents pertaining to each
Mortgage Loan then being sold by it or (ii) make such Mortgage
Loan Documents available to the Depositor or its designee for
examination at the Seller’s offices or at such other place as
the Seller shall specify. Any such Mortgage Loan Documents so held
by the Seller and so made available to the Depositor or its
designee shall be held by the Seller and so made available solely
as a matter of convenience to the Depositor or its designee and in
lieu of delivering such Mortgage Loan Documents to the Depositor or
its designee. The Depositor, the Custodian or a designee of either
entity may review
3
the Mortgage Loan Documents to verify that all
documents required to be included in each Mortgage File (as such
term has been defined in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement) are
so included.
Prior to the Closing Date, the
Seller shall cause the Custodian to review the documents delivered
pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to ascertain that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed on Schedule I, (i) all documents required
to be delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 3(c) have
been received, (ii) such documents appear regular on their
face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the
information on Schedule I accurately reflects the information
set forth in the corresponding Mortgage File, to the extent
required by Section 2.01 of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement. An additional review shall be conducted by the Custodian
or its designee prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date
to determine that all Mortgage Loan Documents required to be
included in the Mortgage File are included therein. If at any time
the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian, discovers
or receives notice that any Mortgage Loan Document is missing or
defective in any material respect with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall correct or cure any such omission or defect
or, if such omission or defect materially impairs the value of the
Mortgage Loan, repurchase the defective Mortgage Loan or substitute
for such defective Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan in accordance with and if permitted by the terms of
Section 6 hereof. At the time of such repurchase or
substitution, the Custodian shall release documents in its
possession relating to such Mortgage Loan to the Seller. The fact
that the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or a designee of either
entity has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or
complete examination of the Mortgage Loan Documents prior to the
Closing Date shall not affect the rights of the Depositor (or any
assignee or successor thereof) to demand repurchase or other relief
as provided herein.
(e) Recordation of Assignments of
Mortgage . Subject to the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Depositor, the Depositor hereby authorizes and
instructs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, to record all
Assignments required to be contained in the Mortgage File to the
extent required pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement. All recording fees relating to the recordation
of the Assignments as described above shall be paid by the Seller.
With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans, if the Indenture
Trustee does not receive, within the time specified in the Transfer
and Servicing Agreement, evidence satisfactory to it of such
recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the extent required
pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, the Seller shall, in cooperation with the Indenture
Trustee, correct or cure any such omission or repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such demand, which demand
shall be made within the time specified in the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement (including any such extensions provided for
therein).

enforceability of this Agreement.

The Seller hereby covenants with the

below.
Section 6. Cure, Repurchase and
Substitution Obligations .
(a) Each of the representations and
warranties of the Seller contained herein shall survive the
purchase by the Depositor of any of the Mortgage Loans and shall
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive
or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement or the Transfer and
Servicing
6
Agreement. The representations and warranties
shall not be impaired by any review and examination of Mortgage
Loan Documents or other documents evidencing or relating to the
Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Depositor to
review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Depositor, including
the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Custodian.
With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein
that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to
which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the
Seller, the Depositor, the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee that
the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate
and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of
the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller’s
knowledge or lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy of
such representation and warranty at the time it was made, the
Seller shall take the action described in the following paragraph
in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon discovery or receipt of
notice by the Seller, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian of any missing or materially defective document in any
Mortgage File, or a breach of any of the Seller’s
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 hereof
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which in any of the foregoing
cases materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Depositor, the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders, the party discovering or receiving
notice of such missing or materially defective document, breach, or
default shall give prompt written notice to the others. Upon its
discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing or
materially defective document, breach or default (the “Defect
Discovery Date”), the Seller shall either (a) within 90
days of discovery or receipt of such notice, provide the Custodian
with such missing documents or cure such defect, breach or default,
in all material respects or (b) within 90 days of such
discovery or receipt of such notice, either repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan at the purchase price therefor or cause the removal
of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute therefor one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as defined in the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement; provided, however , that any such
substitution shall occur within two years of the Closing Date. The
Indenture Trustee or its designee shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of any Mortgage Loan from the
terms of this Agreement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
and the addition, if any, of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.
In order to effect a substitution pursuant to this Section, the
Seller will deliver (i) to the Custodian each of the Mortgage
Loan Documents required to be contained in the Mortgage File with
respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and (ii) if the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance on the date of substitution
of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) is less than the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Deleted Mortgage
Loan(s) (after application of Monthly Payments due in the month of
substitution), to the Issuer cash in an amount equal to such
substitution adjustment amount. Any repurchase pursuant to this
Section shall be accomplished by the delivery into the Custodial
Account, or at the direction of the Depositor, on (or determined as
of) the last day of the calendar month in which such repurchase is
made, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased.
(c) In addition to such repurchase
or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the
Depositor and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and other costs and
7
expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from,
a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement
