SECTION 3. Mortgage Schedules . Prior to each Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under each of the Purchase Price and Terms Letters and this Agreement.

The Seller is obligated to deliver those Mortgage Loans funded by the Seller pursuant to the original terms of the Seller’s commitment to the Mortgagor. The Seller shall deliver the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the Purchaser on or prior to the related Closing Date.

SECTION 4. Purchase Price . The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, after application of scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. The initial principal amount of the related Mortgage Loans shall be the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans, so computed as of the related Cut-off Date. If so provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be priced separately.

In addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the initial principal amount of the related Mortgage Loans at the weighted average interest rate of those Mortgage Loans, net of interest at the Servicing Fee Rate and LPMI Rate, if applicable, from the related Cut-off Date to the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

The Purchaser shall be entitled to (l) 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 Mortgage Loans net of interest at the Servicing Fee Rate and LPMI Rate, if applicable (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, 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 interest at the Servicing Fee Rate and LPMI Rate, if applicable) 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 subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser. All payments of principal and interest, less interest at the Servicing Fee Rate and LPMI Rate, if applicable, due on the first day of the month after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.

SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files . No later than five Business Days prior to the related Closing Date, or such other date as is mutually agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller shall (a) deliver to the Purchaser in escrow, for examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased, the related Mortgage File, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the related Mortgage File available to the Purchaser for examination at the Seller’s offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or after the related Closing Date. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein.

SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Purchaser .

Subsection 6.02

Books and Records .

Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the relevant Mortgage Loan originator, the Seller, the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall select.

All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, prior to each Closing Date, those Mortgage Loan Documents as required by this Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, a list of which is set forth on Exhibit 6 attached hereto.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for maintaining the Custodial Agreement and shall pay all fees and expenses of the Custodian.

The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage 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, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within ninety days of its submission for recordation.

If the Seller cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 120 days from the Closing Date, deliver such original recorded documents to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed within 120 days of the related Closing Date solely because such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, Seller shall deliver such documents to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified in a Seller’s Officer’s Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent Seller’s Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. The Seller shall use its best efforts to effect delivery of all delayed recorded documents within 180 days of the related Closing Date.

Any review by the Purchaser or its designee of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to any document constituting part of a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Seller and the Seller shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Subsection 7.03.

(iii)

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the acquisition or origination of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Seller’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or a material breach of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a material default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Seller or its property is subject or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans, or impair the value of the Mortgage Loans;

Subsection 7.02.

Representations and Warranties Regarding
Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:

(i)

The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(ii)

The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, have been delivered to the Custodian all in compliance with the specific requirements of this Agreement. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit 5 , except for such documents as have been delivered to the Custodian;

(iii)

All payments required to be made up to, but excluding, the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited; 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 Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent and there has been no delinquency of more than one Monthly Payment in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve months. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any Monthly Payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;

(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 Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which have been delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee, the substance of which waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(vi)

The Mortgage 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 Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or 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 FNMA and FHLMC, 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 Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit 9 . All such insurance policies (collectively, the “ hazard insurance policy ”) 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 in the Federal Register 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 which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(viii)

Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with;

(ix)

The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled or 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission;

(x)

The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first 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 lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) 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 Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first 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 Mortgaged Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;

(xi)

The Mortgage 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, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization;

(xii)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud was committed by the Seller in connection with the origination or has been committed in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller is not aware of any fraud with respect to the Mortgage Loan on the part of any other Person involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan;

(xiii)

The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances 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 Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(xiv)

The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged, and the Seller is the sole owner of record and holder thereof and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement;

(xv)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, all parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (a) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (b) organized under the laws of such state, or (c) qualified to do business in such state, or (d) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (e) not doing business in such state;

(xvi)

The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a Qualified Insurer insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and 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 Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, 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 Mortgage or the Mortgage Note 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)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(xix)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

(xx)

The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a FNMA-approved, FHLMC-approved and HUD-approved mortgage banker, or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a Federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The interest rate on the related Mortgage Note is adjusted annually in the case of Treasury Rate Mortgage Loans and LIBOR Mortgage Loans and semi-annually in the case of CD Mortgage Loans on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, subject to the Initial Rate Cap, Periodic Rate Cap and the Lifetime Rate Cap as set forth in the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Interest Rate for a 10/1 ARM Mortgage Loan, 7/1 ARM Mortgage Loan, 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan and a 3/1 ARM Mortgage Loan is adjusted annually commencing from and after the one hundred twentieth, eighty-forth, sixtieth and thirty-sixth Monthly Payment, respectively, in the same manner as a Treasury Rate Mortgage Loan and LIBOR Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that the Periodic Rate Cap does not apply to the initial Interest Rate Adjustment Date for each 10/1 ARM Mortgage Loan, 7/1 ARM Mortgage Loan or 5/1 ARM Mortgage Loan (the Initial Rate Cap does apply). The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest in arrears, and requires Monthly Payments sufficient to amortize the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over a term of no more than 30 years. Each Convertible Mortgage Loan contains a provision whereby the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage Loan to a fixed-rate mortgage loan at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a provision for negative amortization;

(xxi)

The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Seller and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, any prior originator or seller, with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited;

(xxii)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, the Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

(xxiii)

The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940;

(xxiv)

The Mortgage Loan was underwritten generally in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting standards in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 11;

(xxv)

The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (x) above;

(xxvi)

The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by an appraiser who meets the minimum FNMA or FHLMC qualifications for appraisers, duly appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as are acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be, and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder;

(xxvii)

In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(xxviii)

No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

(xxix)

No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;

(xxx)

The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;

(xxxi)

Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by a FNMA or FHLMC approved insurer, which insures the portion of the Mortgage Loan required to be so insured under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan (other than an LPMI Mortgage Loan) subject to any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The amount retained by the Seller from interest relating to any premium or charge with respect to any LPMI Mortgage Loan will not increase above the amount of such premium or charge as of the Cut-off Date. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan (other than an LPMI Mortgage Loan) is net of any such insurance premium;

(xxxii)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(xxxiii)

No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not known to the Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay;

(xxxiv)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, the Assignment of Mortgage, is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(xxxv)

Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

(xxxvi)

The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project meets FNMA or FHLMC eligibility requirements;

(xxxvii)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, at the time of origination, the Mortgage Loans satisfied the FNMA guidelines regarding environmental hazards as set forth in Chapter 7, section 303 of the FNMA Sellers’ Guide;

(xxxviii)

With respect to Mortgage Loans that are secured by a leasehold estate, (i) the lease is valid, in full force and effect, and conforms to all of FNMA’s requirements for leasehold estates; (ii) all rents and other payments due under the lease have been paid; (iii) the lessee is not in default under any provision of the lease; (iv) the term of the lease exceeds the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan by at least ten years; and (v) the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan is given notice and an opportunity to cure any defaults under the lease;

(xxxix)

Except with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(xl)

Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1);

(xli)

None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any comparable state law;

(xlii)

None of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies by the Seller;

(xliii)

Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; and

(xliv)

With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and each Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a Prepayment Penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated.

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 Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and warranties contained in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Seller or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the Purchaser’s interest therein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all the remedies to which it would be entitled for a breach of representation or warranty, including, without limitation, the repurchase requirements contained herein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation or warranty was made, the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Subsection 7.03 as if the applicable representation or warranty was breached. 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 one or more of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within 90 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 Mortgage Loan or Purchaser’s interest therein, the Seller shall use its best 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 Mortgage 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 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.02 and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s consent and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (or Loans), rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “ Deleted Mortgage Loan ”) and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that (i) any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date and (ii) prior to any substitution into a REMIC pass-through entity, upon reasonable request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with an Opinion of Counsel that the substitution of the applicable Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan will not effect the status of the pass-through entity as a REMIC. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (or is unable to obtain an Opinion of Counsel), it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (or Loans) and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by the Purchaser, with the Mortgage Note endorsed thereon as required by this Agreement. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee Rate and LPMI Rate, if applicable, due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall multiplied by such premium percentage, if any.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, 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, 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 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, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 13. The Seller .

Subsection 13.01

The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 12. The Seller immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Seller for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Seller’s indemnification pursuant to Section 7 or the failure of the Seller to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.

Subsection 13.02

Merger or Consolidation of the
Seller.

The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

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 shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by SAIF or FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC and shall satisfy the requirements of Section 16 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the Seller.

Subsection 13.03

Limitation on Liability of the
Seller and Others.

Neither the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable and the Seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand.

Subsection 13.04

Seller Not to Resign .

The Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 16.

Subsection 13.05

No Transfer of Servicing .

With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, Seller shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 14. Default .

Subsection 14.01

Events of Default .

In case one or more of the following “Events of Default” by the Seller shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)

any failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

(ii)

failure on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement or in the Custodial Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or

(iii)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(iv)

the Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v)

the Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi)

failure by the Seller to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Properties are located; or

(vii)

the Seller ceases to meet the qualifications of a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer; or

(viii)

the Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Seller attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 16. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 14.02

Waiver of Defaults .

The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

SECTION 15. Termination .

Subsection 15.01

Termination .

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser in writing; or (iii) the repurchase by the Seller of all outstanding Mortgage Loans at a price equal to 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan on the date of such repurchase, plus accrued interest thereon through the last day of the month of such repurchase, and in the case of REO property, the lesser of (a) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan encumbering the Mortgaged Property at the time such Mortgaged Property became REO property, and (b) the fair market value of such REO property at the time of such repurchase.

The right of the Seller to repurchase all outstanding Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (iii) in the preceding paragraph (the “Clean-up Call”) shall be conditional upon the Seller's determination that the customary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder exceed the benefits accruing to the Seller in its servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in no event shall the Seller exercise its right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (iii) in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Subsection 15.01 before the date on which the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of an such repurchase, is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of such Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date. If the existence of the Clean-up Call might adversely affect a subsequent sale by the Purchaser of some or all of the Mortgage Loans in a whole loan or securitized format, including a Whole Loan Transfer or a Pass-Through Transfer, in the secondary market then the Seller shall negotiate with the Purchaser in good faith to modify, as necessary, the Clean-up Call. If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, the Seller shall sell to the Purchaser the servicing rights for such Mortgage Loans at the then current market price of such servicing rights, such market price to be determined by the Seller and the Purchaser in a commercially reasonable manner.

Subsection 15.02

Termination Without Cause .

The Purchaser may, at its sole option, terminate any rights the Seller may have hereunder, without cause, upon written notice. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Seller as provided in Section 16 of this Agreement. In the event of such termination, the Seller shall be entitled to a termination fee equal to 2.0% of the then current aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 16. Successor to the Seller . Prior to termination of Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 13.04, 14.01, 15.01(ii) or 15.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller under this Agreement prior to the termination of Seller’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Seller shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of Seller pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 13.04, 14.01, 15.01, or 15.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Seller shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

SECTION 17. Financial Statements . The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers a Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Seller’s parent company, Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. (“ CCI ”) for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such a statement is available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of CCI at the end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 18. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest . The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (ii) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 19. Notices . All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as follows:

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan 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. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

SECTION 24. Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement . This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser pursuant to the execution and delivery of such party of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 13 .

This Agreement and all document relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

SECTION 29. Further Agreements . The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer contemplated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 12 hereof. In that connection, the Seller shall (a) execute any Reconstitution Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12, and (b) provide to the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request; and (ii) such representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, indemnification letters, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser in connection with such transactions. The requirement of the Seller pursuant to (ii) above with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall terminate following the initial Reconstitution Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is a Pass-Through Transfer. Prior to incurring any out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this paragraph, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the estimated amount of such expense. The Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any such expense following its receipt of appropriate details thereof.

SECTION 30. No Solicitation . As of the related Closing Date, the Seller has not (i) entered into any agreement to provide refinancing of a Mortgage Loan at some future date or (ii) entered into either a formal or informal arrangement offering special terms for a future refinancing of a Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall not specifically target Mortgagors for the purpose of refinancing any of the Mortgage Loans or treat the Mortgage Loans differently for the purpose of advertising the Seller’s availability for handling refinancings. The Seller, however, may send letters or promotional material to (A) all of the mortgagors in its servicing portfolio, (B) all mortgagors who have a specific type of mortgage (i.e. Balloon Mortgage Loans, LIBOR Mortgage Loans, etc.), (C) those mortgagors whose mortgages fall within specific interest rate ranges, or (D) a class of mortgagors based on such other criteria which does not specifically target Mortgagors. The Seller may provide payoff information and otherwise cooperate with Mortgagors who contact the Seller about prepaying their Mortgage Loan by advising them of refinancing terms and streamline origination arrangements that are available from the Seller.

Re:

Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement,
Dated as of November 1, 2001

Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., a New York corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the sale of certain mortgage loans by the Company to UBS Warburg Real Estate Securities Inc. (the “ Purchaser ”) pursuant to (i) a Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2001 between the Company and the Purchaser (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) and the Purchase Price and Terms Letter dated as of _________, 200_ between the Company and the Purchaser (the “ Terms Letter ”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction, have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

The Purchase Agreement;

The Terms Letter;

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended to date; and

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company with specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion (the “ Board Resolutions ”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Company has the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter (sometimes collectively, the “ Agreements ”).

The Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

The Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Company as provided in the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter, nor the fulfillment of the terms of or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Letter will result in a breach of any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or, to the best of my knowledge, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of California or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) any order of any State of California or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form and upon completion will be acceptable for recording under the laws of the State of California. When endorsed, as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Notes will be duly endorsed under California law.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

No opinion is expressed herein as to the ability of any party to any document referred to herein to collect attorneys’ fees and costs in an action involving the documents referred to herein if such party is not the prevailing party in such action or to the extent such fees and costs are greater than such reasonable fees and costs as may be determined by a court.

I express no opinion as to the provisions of the Agreements designating governing law, and I assume for purposes of this opinion that the Agreements will be governed by California law, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

I express no opinion as to the remedies available to the parties for non-material violations or breaches of the Agreements and other documents referred to herein.

Waivers of vaguely or broadly stated rights or future rights may be deemed unenforceable under applicable law, and provisions that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more other remedies may also be unenforceable.

I have assumed for purposes of this opinion that (l) the Agreements correctly and completely set forth the intent of all parties thereto; (2) the execution and delivery of the Agreements are free of mutual mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, criminal activity, undue influence or duress; and (3) all parties to the Agreements other than the Company have filed all required franchise tax returns, if any, and paid all required taxes, if any, under the California Revenue and Taxation Code (see Damato v. Slevin , 214 Cal. App. 3d 668, 262 Cal. Rptr. 879 (1989), White Dragon Productions Inc. v. Performance Guaranties Inc. , 196 Cal. App. 3d 163, 241 Cal. Rptr. 745 (1987)).

I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Company have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under each of the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, have
