SECTION 3.

Loan Schedules .  The Seller shall deliver the Loan Schedule to the Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date in both hard copy and electronic format.

SECTION 4.

Purchase Price .  The Purchase Price for each Loan listed on the Loan Schedule shall be the percentage of par as stated in the Confirmation (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by its Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. If so provided in the Confirmation, portions of the Loans shall be priced separately.  The aggregate Purchaser Price paid to the Seller shall be reduced by the price of the TBW Mortgage-Backed Trust 2006-6 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-6, Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates (the “Transferred Certificates”).  The aggregate consideration for the sale of the Loans by the Seller and the purchase of the Loans by the Purchaser shall be the total amount of cash paid by the Purchaser and the Transferred Certificates.

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

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

SECTION 5.

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

SECTION 6.

Conveyance from Seller to Purchaser .  

Subsection 6.01.

Conveyance of Loans; Possession of Servicing Files .  

The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price, shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an Assignment and Conveyance with respect to the related Loan Package in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 .  The Servicing File retained by the Seller with respect to each Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04.

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

Subsection 6.02.

Books and Records .  

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

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

Subsection 6.03.

Delivery of Loan Documents .

The Seller shall in connection with the Closing Date, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, deliver and release to the Custodian the Loan Documents with respect to each Loan to be purchased and sold on the Closing Date and set forth on the related Loan Schedule.

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

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

The Seller shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation promptly upon return of such document from the applicable recording office and in no event later than 180 days following the Closing Date, or in the case of an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension pursuant to the preceding paragraph, 180 days following the date of submission of such document to the applicable recording office for recordation.  The Seller shall provide an original mortgagee title insurance policy meeting the requirements of this Agreement promptly upon the issuance thereof and in no event later than 180 days following the related Closing Date.  To the extent that the Seller fails to provide any such original document within the time period set forth herein, such failure shall be deemed a material breach of a representation and warranty in Subsection 7.02 hereof and the Purchaser may demand, and shall have the right to, a remedy for such breach pursuant to Subsection 7.03 hereof (it being understood that any cure period set forth in Subsection 7.03 shall be deemed to have expired).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Seller is unable to deliver by such date each original document and by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver such documents to the Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date.  The Seller shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Seller to the Custodian.  In the event that the original document is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the document can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Custodian shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office.  In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded document or in the case where a document is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian a copy of such document certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded document.

(ii)

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

(iii)

The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Note or Mortgage; and no Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent during the last twelve months;

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

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

(vii)

All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Freddie Mac against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the Servicing Addendum, in an amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier] which policy conforms to the requirements of Freddie Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (B) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

(ix)

Neither the Mortgage nor the related Note has been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

(x)

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

(xi)

The Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

(xii)

(xiii)

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

(xiv)

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

(xv)

All parties which have had any interest in the Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;

(xvi)

The Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a), (b), (c) and (d) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as (i) to the first priority lien of the Mortgage or (ii) with respect to a Second Lien Loan, the second priority lien of the Mortgage, in either case, in the original principal amount of the Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Loan Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;

(xvii)

There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Note or the Mortgage and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(xviii)

Subsection 7.03.

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties .

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

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of a breach of any representation or warranty by the Seller which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in any prepayment charge or penalty, the Seller shall pay the amount of such prepayment charge or penalty to the Purchaser.

In addition to such cure, repurchase, payment and substitution obligations, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs actually incurred, judgments, and other costs and 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 Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure or repurchase a defective Loan, to pay the amount of certain prepayment penalties and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.
