"Memorandum").
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein,
the
Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and
the
Purchaser agrees to purchase, on a servicing released basis, the
Mortgage Loans
identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule")
annexed hereto as
Exhibit 1, as such schedule may be amended from time to time
prior to the
Closing Date to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans accepted by
the Purchaser
pursuant to the terms hereof. The Mortgage Loans and the Other
Mortgage Loans
will have an aggregate principal balance as of the close of
business on the
Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments due on or
before such date,
whether or not received, of approximately $394,427,182. The sale
of the Mortgage
Loans shall take place on August 23, 2007 or such other date as
shall be
mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing Date").
The purchase
price to be paid by the Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall
equal the amount
set forth as such purchase price in the Bill of Sale. The
purchase price shall
be paid to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available
funds on the
Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by the
Seller and subject
to defeasance, the Seller shall retain the right to designate
and establish the
successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on
behalf of the
related borrower of the related defeasance collateral ("Seller
Defeasance Rights
and Obligations"). In the event the Master Servicer receives
notice of a
defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan originated or
acquired by the
Seller and subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall
provide upon receipt
of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the
Seller or its
assignee. Until such time as the Seller provides written notice
to the contrary,
notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Seller Defeasance
Rights and
Obligations shall be delivered to the Seller pursuant to the
notice provisions
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On the Closing Date, the Purchaser will assign to the
Trustee
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its
right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this
Agreement (to
the extent set forth in Section 15), and the Trustee shall
succeed to such
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
Purchaser's
rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section
15).
Section 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. Effective as of the
Closing
Date, subject only to receipt of the consideration referred to
in Section 1
hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in
Sections 6 and 7
hereof, the Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey
to the Purchaser, without recourse, all the right, title and
interest of the
Seller, with the understanding that a Servicing Rights Purchase
Agreement, dated
August 23, 2007, will be executed by the Seller and the Master
Servicer, in and
to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
as of the Closing
Date. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time
to time on or
prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of
this Agreement
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with such
transfer and
assignment, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee,
on behalf of the Purchaser, on or prior to the Closing Date, the
Mortgage Note
(as described in clause (a) below) for each Mortgage Loan and on
or prior to the
fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, five limited powers
of attorney
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor
of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to empower the
Trustee, the Master
Servicer and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the
Trustee and the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, to submit for recording,
at the expense
of the Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be
recorded as described
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening
assignments with
evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included
in the Mortgage
Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been
delivered to the
Trustee). The Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the
Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with any
additional powers of
attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties
for purposes of
such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of
attorney shall
be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under
authorization by any party
hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document
described in the
second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan
remains unremedied
as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the
delivery of
notice of such absence to the Seller, but in no event earlier
than 18 months
from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such
Mortgage Loan
becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall
submit such
documents for recording, at the Seller's expense, after the
periods set forth
above; provided, however, the Custodian shall not submit such
assignments for
recording if the Seller produces evidence that it has sent any
such assignment
for recording and certifies that the Seller is awaiting its
return from the
applicable recording office. In addition, not later than the
30th day following
the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on
behalf of the
Trustee each of the remaining documents or instruments specified
below (with
such exceptions and additional time periods as are permitted by
this Section)
with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each, a "Mortgage File").
(The Seller
acknowledges that the term "without recourse" does not modify
the duties of the
Seller under Section 5 hereof.)
All Mortgage Files, or portions thereof, delivered prior to
the
Closing Date are to be held by the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee in escrow
on behalf of the Seller at all times prior to the Closing Date.

that the letter of credit and the proceeds thereof belong to the

The Assignment of Mortgage, intervening assignments of Mortgage
and
assignment of Assignment of Leases referred to in clauses (d),
(e) and (f) may
be in the form of a single instrument assigning the Mortgage and
the Assignment
of Leases to the extent permitted by applicable law. To avoid
the unnecessary
expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the
execution and
recording or filing of multiple assignments of mortgages,
assignments of leases
(to the extent separate from the mortgages) and assignments of
UCC financing
statements, the Seller shall execute, in accordance with the
third succeeding
paragraph, the assignments of mortgages, the assignments of
leases (to the
extent separate from the mortgages) and the assignments of UCC
financing
statements relating to the Mortgage Loans in blank or naming the
Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders as assignee. Notwithstanding
the fact that such
assignments of mortgages, assignments of leases (to the extent
separate from the
assignments of mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing
statements may name
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as the assignee,
the parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loans shall for
all purposes be
deemed to have been transferred from the Seller to the Purchaser
and from the
Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to
any
Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred
to in clauses
(b), (c), (e) or (f), with evidence of recording thereon,
because of a delay
caused by the public recording office where such document or
instrument has been
delivered for recordation within such 90-day period, but the
Seller delivers a
photocopy thereof (to the extent available, certified by the
appropriate county
recorder's office to be a true and complete copy of the original
thereof
submitted for recording or, if such certification is not
available, together
with an Authorized Person's Certificate of the Seller stating
that such document
has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for
recordation), to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee within such 90-day
period, the Seller
shall then deliver within 180 days after the Closing Date the
recorded document
(or within such longer period after the Closing Date as the
Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee may consent to, which consent shall not be
withheld so long as
the Seller is, as certified in writing to the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee
no less often than monthly, in good faith attempting to obtain
from the
appropriate county recorder's office such original or
photocopy).
The Trustee, as assignee or transferee of the Purchaser, shall
be
entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due thereon
after the Cut-Off
Date, all other payments of principal collected after the
Cut-Off Date (other
than scheduled payments of principal due on or before the
Cut-Off Date), and all
payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the
period commencing on
the Cut-Off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on or
before the Cut-Off Date and collected after the Cut-Off Date
shall belong to the
Seller.
Within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Seller shall
deliver
and the Purchaser, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee or the
agents of
either may submit or cause to be submitted for recordation at
the expense of the
Seller, in the appropriate public office for real property
records, each
assignment referred to in clauses (d) and (f)(ii) above (with
recording
information in blank if such information is not yet available).
Within 15 days
following the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver and the
Purchaser, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee or the agents of either may
submit or cause
to be submitted for filing, at the expense of the Seller, in the
appropriate
public office for Uniform Commercial Code financing statements,
the assignment
referred to in clause (i) above. If any such document or
instrument is lost or
returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a
defect therein,
the Seller shall prepare a substitute therefor or cure such
defect, and the
Seller shall, at its own expense (except in the case of a
document or instrument
that is lost by the Trustee), record or file, as the case may
be, and deliver
such document or instrument in accordance with this Section
2.
As to each Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property
with
respect to which the related Mortgagor has entered into a
franchise agreement
and each Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property with
respect to which a
letter of credit is in place, the Seller shall provide a notice
on or prior to
the date that is thirty (30) days after the Closing Date to the
franchisor or
the issuing financial institution, as applicable, of the
transfer of such
Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and
inform such parties that any notices to the Mortgagor's lender
pursuant to such
franchise agreement or letter of credit should thereafter be
forwarded to the
Master Servicer and, with respect to each franchise agreement,
provide a
franchise comfort letter to the franchisor on or prior to the
date that is
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. After the Closing Date,
with respect to
any letter of credit that has not yet been assigned to the
Trust, upon the
written request of the Master Servicer, the Seller will draw on
such letter of
credit as directed by the Master Servicer in such notice to the
extent the
Seller has the right to do so.
Documents that are in the possession of the Seller, its agents
or
its subcontractors that relate to the servicing of any Mortgage
Loans and that
are not required to be a part of the Mortgage File and are
reasonably necessary
for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the
applicable Mortgage Loan
(the "Servicing File") shall be delivered by the Seller to or at
the direction
of the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Purchaser, on or prior
to the 75th day
after the Closing Date.
The Servicing File shall include, to the extent required to be
(and
actually) delivered to the Seller pursuant to the applicable
Mortgage Loan
documents, copies of the following items: the Mortgage Note, any
Mortgage, the
Assignment of Leases and the Assignment of Mortgage, any
guaranty/indemnity
agreement, any loan agreement, the insurance policies or
certificates, as
applicable, the property inspection reports, any financial
statements on the
property, any escrow analysis, the tax bills, the Appraisal, the
environmental
report, the engineering report, the asset summary, financial
information on the
Mortgagor/sponsor and any guarantors, any letters of credit, any
intercreditor
agreements and any Environmental Insurance Policies; provided,
however, the
Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents,
attorney-client
privileged communications, internal correspondence or credit
analysis. Each of
the foregoing items shall be delivered by the Seller in
electronic form, to the
extent such document is available in such form and such form is
reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer.
Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note,
Mortgage and
the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested
in the Purchaser
and its assigns, and the ownership of all records and documents
with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the
possession of the
Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and its assigns,
and shall be
delivered promptly by the Seller to or on behalf of either the
Custodian (on
behalf of the Trustee) or the Master Servicer as set forth
herein, subject to
the requirements of the Primary Servicing Agreement. The
Seller's and
Purchaser's records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage
Loan from the
Seller to the Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans and related property to the Purchaser by
the Seller as
provided in this Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale of the
Mortgage Loans and related property (other than the servicing
rights thereto).
It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed
a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by the
Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans or any
related property are held to be the property of the Seller, or
if for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest in the
Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:
(i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement;
and
(ii) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be
deemed
to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all
of the Seller's right, title, and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter
acquired, in and to:
(A) All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates
of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and
investment
property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of
the
following property: the Mortgage Loans identified on the
Mortgage
Loan Schedule (other than the servicing rights thereto),
including
the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements,
and
title, hazard and other insurance policies, all distributions
with
respect thereto payable after the Cut-Off Date, all substitute
or
replacement Mortgage Loans and all distributions with
respect
thereto, and the Mortgage Files;
(B) All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates
of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit,
investment
property and other rights arising from or by virtue of the
disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance
proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other
Persons
with respect to, all or any part of the collateral described
in
clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on
liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and
(C) All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral
described
in clauses (A) and (B) above.
The possession by the Purchaser or its designee of the
Mortgage
Notes, the Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit,
advices of
credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or
certificated securities
shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or
possession by a
purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest
pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code (including, without limitation, Sections
9-305 and 9-115
thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty as to
the perfection
of any such security interest.
Notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments,
receipts, or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed
to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from,
securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or Persons
holding for, the
Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of
perfecting such
security interest under applicable law.
The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take
such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if
this Agreement
were deemed to create a security interest in the property
described above, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security
interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term
of the Agreement. In such case, the Seller shall file all
filings necessary to
maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary
under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect such
security
interest in such property. In connection herewith, the Purchaser
shall have all
of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under
the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
and
subject to Section 2(a), the Purchaser shall not be required to
purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which any Mortgage Note (endorsed as
described in clause (a)
above) or lost note affidavit and indemnity required to be
delivered to or on
behalf of the Trustee or the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 2 on or
before the Closing Date is not so delivered, or is not properly
executed or is
defective on its face, and the Purchaser's acceptance of the
related Mortgage
Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way constitute a waiver of
such omission or
defect or of the Purchaser's or its successors' and assigns'
rights in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 5.
Section 3. Examination of Mortgage Files and Due Diligence
Review.
The Seller shall (i) deliver to the Purchaser on or before the
Closing Date a
diskette acceptable to the Purchaser that contains such
information about the
Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser,
(ii) deliver to
the Purchaser investor files (collectively the "Collateral
Information") with
respect to the assets proposed to be included in the Mortgage
Pool and made
available at the Purchaser's headquarters in New York, and (iii)
otherwise
reasonably cooperate fully with the Purchaser in its examination
of the credit
files, underwriting documentation and Mortgage Files for the
Mortgage Loans and
its due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans. The fact that
the Purchaser has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the
credit files, underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for
the Mortgage
Loans shall not affect the right of the Purchaser or the Trustee
to cause the
Seller to cure any Material Document Defect or Material Breach
(each as defined
below), or to repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans
pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall allow
representatives of any of the Purchaser, each Underwriter, the
Initial
Purchaser, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Special Servicer and
each Rating
Agency to examine and audit all books, records and files
pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans, the Seller's underwriting procedures and the
Seller's ability to
perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Agreement.
Such examinations and audits shall take place at one or more
offices of the
Seller during normal business hours and shall not be conducted
in a manner that
is disruptive to the Seller's normal business operations upon
reasonable prior
advance notice. In the course of such examinations and audits,
the Seller will
make available to such representatives of any of the Purchaser,
each
Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Custodian,
the Special
Servicer and each Rating Agency reasonably adequate facilities,
as well as the
assistance of a sufficient number of knowledgeable and
responsible individuals
who are familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this
Agreement, and
the Seller shall cooperate fully with any such examination and
audit in all
material respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller
shall provide the
Purchaser with all material information regarding the Seller's
financial
condition and access to knowledgeable financial or accounting
officers for the
purpose of answering questions with respect to the Seller's
financial condition,
financial statements as provided to the Purchaser or other
developments
affecting the Seller's ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated
hereby or otherwise affecting the Seller in any material
respect. Within 45 days
after the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Master
Servicer with any
additional information identified by the Master Servicer, as
necessary to
complete the CMSA Property File, to the extent that such
information is
available.
The Purchaser may exercise any of its rights hereunder through
one
or more designees or agents; provided the Purchaser has provided
the Seller with
prior notice of the identity of such designee or agent.
The Purchaser shall keep confidential any information regarding
the
Seller and the Mortgage Loans that has been delivered into the
Purchaser's
possession and that is not otherwise publicly available;
provided, however, that
such information shall not be kept confidential (and the right
to require
confidentiality under any confidentiality agreement is hereby
waived) to the
extent such information is required to be included in the
Memorandum or the
Prospectus Supplement or the Purchaser is required by law or
court order to
disclose such information. If the Purchaser is required to
disclose in the
Memorandum or the Prospectus Supplement confidential information
regarding the
Seller as described in the preceding sentence, the Purchaser
shall provide to
the Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior
to making such
disclosure and the Seller shall promptly, and in any event
within two Business
Days, notify the Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which
case the
Purchaser shall modify such form in a manner that corrects such
inaccuracies. If
the Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose
confidential
information regarding the Seller as described in the second
preceding sentence,
the Purchaser shall notify the Seller and cooperate in the
Seller's efforts to
obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that
confidential
treatment will be accorded such information and, if in the
absence of a
protective order or such assurance, the Purchaser is compelled
as a matter of
law to disclose such information, the Purchaser shall, prior to
making such
disclosure, advise and consult with the Seller and its counsel
as to such
disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure and the
Purchaser shall
use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment
therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably advised by counsel
that the
Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court order to
make such
disclosure immediately, then the Purchaser shall be permitted to
make such
disclosure without prior review by the Seller.
Section 4. Representations and Warranties of the Seller and
the
Purchaser.
(a) To induce the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, the
Seller
hereby makes for the benefit of the Purchaser and its assigns

date specifically
set forth in the particular representation and warranty) each of
the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto,
except as
otherwise set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, and hereby
further represents
and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof that:
(i) The Seller is duly organized and is validly existing as
a
Canadian chartered bank acting through its branch located at One

has the
requisite power and authority and legal right to own the

executed
and delivered by the Seller, and assuming the due authorization,
execution
and delivery hereof by the Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes
the
valid, legal and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by
(A) laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership
or moratorium, (B) other laws relating to or affecting the
rights of
creditors generally, (C) general equity principles (regardless
of whether
such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law) or (D)
public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to
the extent
that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
of the
provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide
indemnification from
liabilities under applicable securities laws.
(iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
registration
or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or
court is
required, under federal or state law, for the execution,
delivery and
performance of or compliance by the Seller with this Agreement,
or the
consummation by the Seller of any transaction contemplated
hereby, other
than (1) such qualifications as may be required under state
securities or
blue sky laws, (2) the filing or recording of financing
statements,
instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary
in
connection with the Seller's sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser,
(3) such consents, approvals, authorizations,
qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained and (4)
where the
lack of such consent, approval, authorization,
qualification,
registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse
effect on
the performance by the Seller under this Agreement.
(iv) Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser,
nor the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by
the
Seller, conflicts or will conflict with, results or will result
in a
breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under (A)
any term
or provision of the Seller's articles of organization or
by-laws, (B) any
term or provision of any material agreement, contract,
instrument or
indenture to which the Seller is a party or by which it or any
of its
assets is bound or results in the creation or imposition of any
lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the
terms of
any such indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument,
other than
pursuant to this Agreement, or (C) after giving effect to the
consents or
taking of the actions contemplated in subsection (iii), any law,
rule,
regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or
its assets,
except where in any of the instances contemplated by clauses (B)
or (C)
above, any conflict, breach or default, or creation or
imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance, will not have a material adverse
effect on
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the
Seller or
materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its
obligations and
duties hereunder or result in any material adverse change in the
business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the
Seller, or in
any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to
carry on
its business substantially as now conducted.
(v) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
investigations
of, the Seller pending or, to the Seller's knowledge, threatened
in
writing against the Seller before any court, administrative
agency or
other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be
expected to
materially and adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the
Purchaser or the execution or delivery by, or enforceability
against, the
Seller of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial
condition of
the Seller that would materially and adversely affect the
ability of the
Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(vi) On the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to
this Agreement will effect a transfer by the Seller of all of
its right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser.
(vii) To the Seller's knowledge, the Loan Seller Information
(as
defined in that certain indemnification agreement, dated as of
August 9,
2007, between the Seller, the Purchaser, the Underwriters and
the Initial
Purchaser (the "Indemnification Agreement")) contained in the
Disclosure
Information (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) taken
together
as a whole, as of the Time of Sale (as defined in the
Indemnification
Agreement), and the Memorandum and the Prospectus Supplement, as
of their
respective dates, (i) does not contain any untrue statement of a
material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not
misleading and (ii) (other than the Memorandum) complies with
the
requirements of and contains all of the applicable information
required by
Regulation AB (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement).
To induce the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, the
Seller
hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and
warranties and those set
forth on Exhibit 2 hereto will be true and correct in all
material respects on
and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on
the Closing Date,
provided that any representations and warranties made as of a
specified date
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such
specified date.
Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by
the
Seller pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall survive the sale of
the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.
(b) To induce the Seller to enter into this Agreement, the
Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to the Seller as of the date
hereof:
(i) The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
with full
power and authority to carry on its business as presently
conducted by it.
(ii) The Purchaser has full power and authority to acquire
the
Mortgage Loans, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
enter into
and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The
Purchaser has duly and validly authorized the execution,
delivery and
performance of this Agreement and has duly and validly executed
and
delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due
authorization,
execution and delivery by the Seller, constitutes the valid and
binding
obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered
in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
registration
or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or
court is
required, under federal or state law, for the execution,
delivery and
performance of or compliance by the Purchaser with this
Agreement, or the
consummation by the Purchaser of any transaction contemplated
hereby that
has not been obtained or made by the Purchaser.
(iv) Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the
execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser will
violate
the Purchaser's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or
constitute a
default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would
constitute a default) under, or result in a breach of, any
material
agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which the
Purchaser is a
party or that may be applicable to the Purchaser or its
assets.
(v) The Purchaser's execution and delivery of this Agreement and
its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will
not
constitute a violation of, any law, rule, writ, injunction,
order or
decree of any court, or order or regulation of any federal,
state or
municipal government agency having jurisdiction over the
Purchaser or its
assets, which violation could materially and adversely affect
the
condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the
Purchaser or
its assets or could materially and adversely affect its ability
to perform
its obligations and duties hereunder.
(vi) There are no actions or proceedings against, or
investigations
of, the Purchaser pending or, to the Purchaser's knowledge,
threatened
against the Purchaser before any court, administrative agency or
other
tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to
adversely
affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of
the
Certificates, the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
Agreement
or have an effect on the financial condition of the Purchaser
that would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to
perform
its obligation under this Agreement.
(vii) The Purchaser has not dealt with any broker,
investment
banker, agent or other person, other than the Seller, the
Underwriters,
the Initial Purchaser and their respective affiliates, that may
be
entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with
the sale of
the Mortgage Loans or consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated
hereby.
To induce the Seller to enter into this Agreement, the
Purchaser
hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and
warranties will be true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing
Date with the same
effect as if made on the Closing Date.
Each of the representations and warranties made by the
Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall survive the purchase of the
Mortgage Loans.
Section 5. Remedies Upon Breach of Representations and
Warranties
Made by the Seller.
(a) It is hereby acknowledged that the Seller shall make for
the
benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the holders of the
Certificates, by way of
the Purchaser's assignment of its rights hereunder to the
Trustee, the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto
(each as of the
date hereof unless otherwise specified).
(b) It is hereby further acknowledged that if any document
required
to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee
pursuant to Section 2
is not delivered as and when required (and including the
expiration of any grace
or cure period), is not properly executed or is defective on its
face, or if
there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties
required to be
made by the Seller regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage
Loans and/or
the related Mortgaged Properties as set forth in Exhibit 2
hereto, and in either
case such defect or breach, either (i) materially and adversely
affects the
interests of the holders of the Certificates in the related
Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) both (A) the document defect or breach materially and
adversely affects the
value of the Mortgage Loan and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a
Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (such a document
defect described
in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a "Material Document
Defect" and such a
breach described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) a "Material
Breach"), the
party discovering such Material Document Defect or Material
Breach shall
promptly notify, in writing, the other party; provided that any
breach of the
representation and warranty contained in paragraph (38) of such
Exhibit 2 shall
constitute a Material Breach only if such prepayment premium or
yield
maintenance charge is not deemed "customary" for commercial
mortgage loans at
the time of origination as evidenced by (i) an opinion of tax
counsel to such
effect or (ii) a determination by the Internal Revenue Service
that such
provision is not customary. Promptly (but in any event within
three Business
Days) upon becoming aware of any such Material Document Defect
or Material
Breach, the Master Servicer shall, and the Special Servicer may,
request that
the Seller, not later than 90 days from the Seller's receipt of
the notice of
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, cure such
Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material
respects;
provided, however, that if such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, as
the case may be, cannot be corrected or cured in all material
respects within
such 90-day period, and such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach would
not cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" (as defined
in the Code), but the Seller is diligently attempting to effect
such correction
or cure, as certified by the Seller in an Authorized Person's
Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, then the cure period will be extended
for an
additional 90 days unless, solely in the case of a Material
Document Defect, (x)
the Mortgage Loan is, at the end of the initial 90-day period, a
Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has
occurred as a result
of a monetary default or as described in clause (ii) or clause
(v) of the
definition of "Servicing Transfer Event" in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement
and (y) the Material Document Defect was identified in a
certification delivered
to the Seller by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.2 of the
Pooling and
Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery
of the notice of
such Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that
neither delivery of
a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Seller pursuant
to Section 2.2
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise nor
possession of such
certification or schedule by the Seller shall, in and of itself,
constitute
delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge
or awareness by
the Seller of any Material Document Defect listed therein.
The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such
Material
Document Defect or Material Breach cannot be corrected or cured
in all material
aspects within the above cure periods, the Seller shall, on or
before the
termination of such cure periods, either (i) repurchase the
affected Mortgage
Loan or REO Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser or its assignee at
the Purchase
Price as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii)
if within the
two-year period commencing on the Closing Date, at its option
replace, without
recourse, any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to which such
defect relates
with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material
Document Defect or
Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified
mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the
previous sentence,
such repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from
the earlier of
the date the Seller discovered or was notified of the breach or
defect. The
Seller agrees that any substitution shall be completed in
accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
If (i) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced in
connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach as
contemplated
above, (ii) such Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and
cross-defaulted with
one or more other Mortgage Loans in the Trust and (iii) the
applicable document
defect or breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect
or Material
Breach, as the case may be, as to such other Mortgage Loans
(without regard to
this paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach
(as the case may
be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or
Material Breach,
as the case may be, as to each such other Mortgage Loan for
purposes of the
above provisions, and the Seller shall be obligated to
repurchase or replace
each such other Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions
above, unless,
in the case of such breach or document defect, both of the
following conditions
would be satisfied if the Seller were to repurchase or replace
only those
Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or
Material Breach had
occurred without regard to this paragraph (the "Affected
Loan(s)"): (1) the debt
service coverage ratio for all such other Mortgage Loans
(excluding the Affected
Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding
the repurchase or
replacement (determined as provided in the definition of Debt
Service Coverage
Ratio in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except that net
cash flow for such
four calendar quarters, rather than year-end, shall be used) is
equal to the
greater of (x) the debt service coverage ratio for all such
Mortgage Loans
(including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth under the heading
"NCF DSCR" in
Appendix II to the Final Prospectus Supplement and (y) 1.25x,
and (2) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such other Mortgage Loans (excluding
the Affected
Loan(s)) is not greater than the lesser of (x) the current
loan-to-value ratio
for all such Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set
forth under the
heading "Cut-Off Date LTV" in Appendix II to the Final
Prospectus Supplement and
(y) 75%. The determination of the Master Servicer as to whether
either of the
conditions set forth above has been satisfied shall be
conclusive and binding in
the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer will be
entitled to cause, or
direct the Seller to cause, to be delivered to the Master
Servicer at the
Seller's expense (i) an Appraisal of any or all of the related
Mortgaged
Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set
forth in clause
(2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the
Seller if the
scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Seller (such
approval not to
be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel that
not requiring the
repurchase of each such Cross-Collateralized Loan will not
result in an Adverse
REMIC Event.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-defaulted
and/or
cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan conveyed
hereunder, to the
extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute
for such Mortgage
Loan (each, a "Repurchased Loan") in the manner prescribed above
while the
Trustee (as assignee of the Purchaser) continues to hold any
other Mortgage Loan
that is cross-collateralized and/or cross-defaulted (each, a
"Cross-Collateralized Loan") with such Repurchased Loan, the
Seller and the
Purchaser hereby agree to modify, prior to such repurchase or
substitution, the
related Mortgage Loan documents in a manner such that such
affected Repurchased
Loan, on the one hand, and any related Crossed-Collateralized
Loans held by the
Trustee, on the other, would no longer be cross-defaulted or
cross-collateralized with one another; provided that the Seller
shall have
furnished the Trustee, at the expense of the Seller, a
nondisqualification
opinion that such modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event; provided,
further, that if such nondisqualification opinion cannot be
furnished, the
Seller and the Purchaser agree that such repurchase or
substitution of only the
Repurchased Loan, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, shall not be
permitted and the Seller shall repurchase or substitute for the
Repurchased Loan
and all related Crossed-Collateralized Loans. Any reserve or
other cash
collateral or letters of credit securing the
Cross-Collateralized Loans shall be
allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan
documents. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in
full force and
effect, without any modification thereof.
Upon occurrence (and after any applicable cure or grace period),
any
of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed
materially and
adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders in a
Mortgage Loan and
be a Material Document Defect: (i) the absence from the Mortgage
File of the
original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains
a signed lost
note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the Mortgage Note;
(ii) the absence
from the Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (b)
of the definition
of Mortgage File; or (iii) the absence from the Mortgage File of
the item called
for by paragraph (h) of the definition of Mortgage File. If any
of the foregoing
Material Document Defects is discovered by the Custodian (or the
Trustee if
there is no Custodian), the Trustee (or as set forth in Section
2.3(a) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer) will take
the steps
described elsewhere in this Section, including the giving of
notices to the
Rating Agencies and the parties hereto and making demand upon
the Seller for the
cure of the Material Document Defect or repurchase or
replacement of the related
Mortgage Loan.
If the Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or
Material
Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise
refuses (i) to effect
a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or
Material Breach, (ii)
to repurchase the Affected Loan from the Trust or (iii) to
replace such Mortgage
Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, then provided
that (x) the
period of time provided for the Seller to correct, repurchase or
cure has
expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default and is then
a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the
Servicing
Standard, modify, work-out or foreclose, sell or otherwise
liquidate (or permit
the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9.5,
Section 9.12,
Section 9.15 and Section 9.36, as applicable, of the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement, while pursuing the repurchase claim. The Seller
acknowledges and
agrees that any modification of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to
such a work-out
shall not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim nor shall
such
modification or work-out change the Purchase Price due from the
Seller for any
repurchase claim. Any sale of the Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure
upon such
Mortgage Loan and sale of the REO Property, to a Person other
than the Seller
shall be without (i) recourse of any kind (either express or
implied) by such
Person against the Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of
any kind
(either express or implied) by the Seller to or for the benefit
of such Person.
The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is
not
discovered until after foreclosure (but in all instances prior
to the sale of
the related REO Property or Mortgage Loan) shall not prejudice
any claim against
the Seller for repurchase of the REO Mortgage Loan or REO
Property. In such an
event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall be required
to notify the Seller of the discovery of the Material Document
Defect or
Material Breach and the Seller shall be required to follow the
procedures set
forth in this Agreement to correct or cure such Material
Document Defect or
Material Breach or purchase the REO Property at the Purchase
Price. If the
Seller fails to correct or cure the Material Document Defect or
Material Breach
or purchase the REO Property, then the provisions above
regarding notice of
offers related to such REO Property and the Seller's right to
purchase such REO
Property shall apply. If a court of competent jurisdiction
issues a final order
that the Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan or
REO Mortgage Loan or the Seller otherwise accepts liability,
then, after the
expiration of any applicable appeal period, but in no event
later than the
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.30 of the Pooling
and Servicing
Agreement, the Seller will be obligated to pay to the Trust the
difference
between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation
(including those
arising from any sale to the Seller) and the Purchase Price;
provided that the
prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all
costs, fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related
thereto.
In connection with any liquidation or sale of a Mortgage Loan or
REO
Property as described above, the Special Servicer will not
receive a Liquidation
Fee in connection with such liquidation or sale or any portion
of the Work-Out
Fee that accrues after the Seller receives notice of a Material
Document Defect
or Material Breach until a final determination has been made, as
set forth in
the prior paragraph, as to whether the Seller is or was
obligated to repurchase
such related Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Upon such
determination, the Special
Servicer will be entitled: (i) with respect to a determination
that the Seller
is or was obligated to repurchase, to collect a Liquidation Fee,
if due in
accordance with the definition thereof, based upon the full
Purchase Price of
the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, with such Liquidation
Fee payable by
the Seller or (ii) with respect to a determination that Seller
is not or was not
obligated to repurchase (or the Trust decides that it will no
longer pursue a
claim against the Seller for repurchase), (A) to collect a
Liquidation Fee based
upon the Liquidation Proceeds as received upon the actual sale
or liquidation of
such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and (B) to collect any
accrued and unpaid
Work-Out Fee, based on amounts that were collected for as long
as the related
Mortgage Loan was a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, in each case
with such amount
to be paid from amounts in the Certificate Account.
The obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 5(b) to
cure
a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach or repurchase or
replace a
defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser or its
assignees with respect to a Material Document Defect or Material
Breach in
respect of an outstanding Mortgage Loan; provided, that this
limitation shall
not in any way limit the Purchaser's rights or remedies upon
breach of any other
representation or warranty or covenant by the Seller set forth
in this Agreement
(other than those set forth in Exhibit 2).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is a
breach
of the representation and warranty set forth in paragraph 41 of
Exhibit 2
attached hereto because the underlying loan documents do not
provide for the
payment by the Mortgagor of reasonable costs and expenses
associated with the
defeasance or assumption of a Mortgage Loan by the Mortgagor,
the Seller hereby
covenants and agrees to pay such reasonable costs and expenses,
to the extent an
amount is due and not paid by the related Mortgagor. The parties
hereto
acknowledge that the payment of such reasonable costs and
expenses shall be the
Seller's sole obligation with respect to the breaches discussed
in the previous
sentence. The Seller shall have no obligation to pay for any of
the foregoing
costs if the applicable Mortgagor has an obligation to pay for
such costs.
The Seller hereby agrees that it will pay for any expense
incurred
by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, in
connection with modifying a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.3 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement in order for such Mortgage Loan to be a
"qualified
substitute mortgage loan" within the meaning of the Treasury
Regulations
promulgated under the Code. Upon a breach of the representation
and warranty set
forth in paragraph 37 of Exhibit 2 attached hereto, if such
Mortgage Loan is
modified so that it becomes a "qualified substitute mortgage
loan", such breach
will be cured and the Seller will not be obligated to repurchase
or otherwise
remedy such breach.
(c) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that
the
Trustee (or the applicable Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer on its
behalf) shall give written notice within three Business Days) to
the Seller of
its discovery of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach
and prompt
written notice to the Seller in the event that any Mortgage Loan
becomes a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement).
(d) If the Seller repurchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this
Section 5, the Purchaser or its assignee, following receipt by
the Trustee of
the Purchase Price therefor, promptly shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to
the Seller all Mortgage Loan documents with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, and
each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that
was endorsed or
assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed and assigned to the
Seller in the same
manner such that the Loan Seller shall be vested with legal and
beneficial title
to such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, including
any property
acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loan or proceeds of any
insurance policies
with respect thereto.
Section 6. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Mortgage
Loans
shall be held at the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham &
