File, including the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or

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
Initial Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any partial or
complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Initial

relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.
SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Initial Purchaser.
Subsection 6.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Servicing

The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price,
shall execute and deliver to the Initial Purchaser a Warranty ▇▇▇▇ of Sale with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 1. The Servicing File retained by the Seller with respect to each

the Seller's computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the
contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this
Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase
of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04.
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Loan, the
Seller agrees that on or prior to the Closing Date it will cause, at its own
expense, the MERS System to indicate that the related Mortgage Loans have been
assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by
including in such computer files the information required by the MERS System to
identify the Purchaser as owner of such Mortgage Loans.
Subsection 6.02 Books and Records.
Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the
Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser, the Custodian or
one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership of each Mortgage and the
related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in
16
the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be.
All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all
funds received by the Seller after the Cut-off Date on or in connection with a
Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the Purchaser or one
or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds
received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 4 shall
be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or
the assignee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage
Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the
sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller's business
records, tax returns and financial statements.
Subsection 6.03 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
The Seller shall from time to time in connection with the Closing
Date, at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Closing Date or such other
date as is mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, deliver and release to the
Custodian the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be
purchased and sold on the Closing Date and set forth on the Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule delivered with such Mortgage Loan Documents.
The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan
Documents for the related Closing Date, pursuant to an initial custody receipt
and initial certification 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

Subsection 7.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual
Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that,
as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(1) The information set forth in the related Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(2) [Reserved].
(3) There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage
as they relate to the holder thereof, and all taxes, governmental assessments,
insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or
ground rents or other outstanding charges affecting the Mortgaged Property which
previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. There
exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if escrows
are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not
been made, and other than in connection
19
with a modification or work-out agreement contained in the Mortgage File, no
escrow deficits or payments of other charges or payments have been capitalized
under the Mortgage or the applicable Mortgage Note;
(4) The Seller has not waived, altered or modified the Mortgage or
Mortgage Note (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written
instrument (a copy of which is in the Mortgage File and the terms of which are
reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule) which has been recorded or is in
the process of being recorded, if necessary to protect the validity and first
priority lien of the owner of such Mortgage Loan; the substance of any such
waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any title
insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies); satisfied,
canceled, rescinded or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released
the applicable Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such
Mortgage; or executed any instrument of cancellation, rescission or satisfaction
with respect thereto. No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or in part from its obligations in connection with a Mortgage Loan;
(5) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any valid
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 the Mortgage
unenforceable (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and
similar laws or by equitable principles affecting the enforceability of the
rights of creditors, including those respecting the availability of specific
performance), in whole or in part, and to the Seller's knowledge no such right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
(6) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer in accordance with the Seller's underwriting
guidelines against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located.
All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have
been paid or escrowed funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay
the premium. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which
policy conforms to the Seller's underwriting guidelines. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the 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;
(7) Any and all requirements of any applicable federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, laws governing prepayment penalties, usury,
truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, fair housing and disclosure laws applicable to the
origination (as such laws existed as of the date of origination) and servicing
of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have been
20
complied with and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
not involve the violation of any such applicable laws;
(8) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
rescission or release;
(9) The related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing
and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as
reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the Seller to be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements
on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property
taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as
of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy
delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely
affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (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 and (d) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second
Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule) a First
Lien on the 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 (A) first lien
and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Final Mortgage
Loan Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second
Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either
case, 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 Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to
the lien of the Mortgage;
(10) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with their terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership, conservatorship, reorganization and similar laws on or hereafter
in effect of general application affecting creditors' rights generally and
subject to the application of the general principles of equity, including those
respecting the availability of specific performance (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(11) 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,
21
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(12) All Persons that have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as originator, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were): (A)
organized under the laws of such state, or (B) qualified to do business in such
state, or (C) federal savings and loan associations, national banks or national
bank operating subsidiaries or (D) not doing business in such state so as to
require qualification or licensing, or (E) not otherwise required to be licensed
in such state under laws applicable to such Person. All parties which have had
any interest in the Mortgage Loan were in compliance with any and all "doing
business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located applicable to such Person or were not required
under the laws applicable to such Person to be licensed in such state;
(13) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance
policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable
rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained above in
(ix)(a) and (b) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by
the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Final Mortgage
Loan Schedule) clause (d)) 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, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against
any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting
from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage
Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender's title insurance
policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged
Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title
insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and
effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage,
including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(14) 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 no
such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration has been waived. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second
Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the
First Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or
the related mortgage note, (iii) 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 thereunder, and either (A)
the First Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law
requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice
of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in
full or otherwise under the First Lien mortgage;
22
(15) To the Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics' liens or
similar liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged
Property which have been filed (and no rights are outstanding that under law
could give rise to such liens), which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal
with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the
title insurance policy with respect to the Mortgage Loan;
(16) 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 to the
Seller's knowledge, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property;
(17) The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Mortgage Loan with an interest
only payment period, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month
in Monthly Payments, which, (A) in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, are
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, (B) in
the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment
Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate and (C) in the case of a Balloon Loan, are based on a
twenty (20), thirty (30), forty (40) or fifty (50) year amortization schedule,
as set forth in the related Mortgage Note, and a final monthly payment
substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to
amortize the remaining principal balance of the Balloon Loan and to pay interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related Final Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(18) The origination practices used by the 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 industry for mortgage loans
similar to the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced in accordance
with the terms of the Mortgage Note;
(19) The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is
no proceeding pending or to the Seller's knowledge, threatened for the total or
partial condemnation thereof nor is such a proceeding currently occurring;
(20) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain 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. The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy
proceeding (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which the proceeds were
used to pay off a bankruptcy of the Mortgagor, the related Mortgaged Property is
no longer subject to any bankruptcy proceeding) or foreclosure proceeding, nor
are any such proceedings pending and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection
under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or 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 Servicemembers' Civil
Relief Act;
23
(21) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Seller
underwriting guidelines in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac;
(22) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property which satisfied the standards of Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the
Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the
Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in
any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the
approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraisal of the Mortgage
Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;
(23) 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;
(24) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly
Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by the Seller, the Servicer, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of
the Mortgagor. 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;
(25) To the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law, 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 and fire underwriting
certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. To
the Seller's knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of any Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;
(26) Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than any intervening transfer to the
Purchaser) have been recorded, or are in the process of being recorded, in the
appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the
lien thereof as against creditors of the Mortgagor. 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;
24
(27) Any principal 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

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 lack of examination of any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of the
31
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.
With respect to the representations and warranties described in this
Section 7.02 which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is
discovered by either the Servicer or the Trustee 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 interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.
Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and
adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, 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 sixty (60) 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. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming
that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the
Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its
place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided that such
substitution shall be effected not later than one hundred twenty (120) days
after the Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
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 occur
on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by wire transfer
of immediately available funds on the repurchase date to an account designated
by the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and solely with respect to Mortgage
Loans that are a part of a Securitization Transaction or net interest margin
security related to such Securitization Transaction, within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the
breach of the representation or covenant of the Seller set forth in Section
7.02(34) which materially and adversely affects the interests of any holder of
any certificate representing the right to receive the Prepayment Charges in any
such Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall remedy such breach as follows: if the
representation made by the Seller in Section 7.02(34) is breached and a
Principal Prepayment has occurred in the applicable prepayment period, the
Seller must pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, in accordance
with instructions provided by the Purchaser, net of any legally enforceable
Prepayment Charge applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the
Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased
Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held
by the Custodian relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the
Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the
32
Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the
Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase the related
Final Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the
repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such
substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Loan Documents with the Mortgage Note
endorsed as required herein. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account
the Monthly Payment 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 will
be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such 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. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such
substitution has taken place and shall amend the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon
such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be
deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and
warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is
less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage
Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of
substitution). Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will
deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to such
amount.
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.
SECTION 8. Closing. The closing shall take place on the Closing Date.

by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such
place as the parties shall agree.

this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the related

or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this
Agreement;
(b) the Seller shall have delivered and released the Mortgage Loan
Documents to the Custodian; and
(c) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have been
complied with.

to the account designated by the Seller.
SECTION 9. [Reserved]

expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage

(ii) on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(3) to deliver to the Purchaser and to any Person designated by the

(4) to deliver to the Purchaser, and to any Person designated by the

Securitization Transactions, as the case may be, such in-house

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of
Section 12 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and
any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms
only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered
securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable
disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance
with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private
offerings. Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to
request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to
that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
36
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser
or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these
provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In
connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully
with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees
or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith
determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such
disclosures relating to the Seller, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage
Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the
Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall
cooperate with the Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information
under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information
required, in the Purchaser's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
Subsection 12.03 Additional Representations and Warranties of the
Seller.
(a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any

material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated)

the requesting party.

In connection with any Securitization Transaction occurring on or
after January 1, 2006, the Seller shall (i) within five Business Days following

Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and
such Depositor, the information and materials specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section, and (ii) as promptly as practicable following notice to or
discovery by the Seller, provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor (in writing
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such
Depositor) the information specified in paragraph (d) of this Section.
37
(a) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall
provide such information regarding (i) the Seller, as originator of the Mortgage
Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified
Correspondent), or (ii) each Third-Party Originator, as is requested for the
purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105, 1110, 1117 and 1119 of
Regulation AB. Such information shall include, at a minimum:
(A) the originator's form of organization;

(2) the depositor;
(3) the issuing entity;
(4) any servicer;
(5) any trustee;
(6) any originator;
(7) any significant obligor;
(8) any enhancement or support provider; and

to provide) Static Pool Information with respect to the mortgage loans (of a
similar type as the Mortgage Loans, as reasonably identified by the Purchaser as
provided below) originated by (i) the Seller, if the Seller is an originator of
Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified
Correspondent), and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Such Static Pool
Information shall be prepared by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the
basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item
1105(a)(l)-(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably
38
available to the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with
respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor
shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be
provided pursuant to this paragraph. The content of such Static Pool Information
may be in the form customarily provided by the Seller, and need not be
customized for the Purchaser or any Depositor. Such Static Pool Information for

a permanent record of the information provided, such as a portable document
format (pdf) file, or other such electronic format reasonably required by the
Purchaser or the Depositor, as applicable. The Seller shall in good faith use
its best efforts to obtain from its assignees data needed to prepare Static Pool
Information.
Promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Static
Pool Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
(including an omission to include therein information required to be provided
pursuant to such paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool
Information to the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the same format
in which Static Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the
Seller.
If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall
provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), at
the expense of the requesting party (to the extent of any additional incremental
expense associated with delivery pursuant to this Agreement), such agreed-upon
procedures letters of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, pertaining to Static Pool Information
relating to prior securitized pools for securitizations closed on or after
January 1, 2006 or, in the case of Static Pool Information with respect to the
Seller's or Third-Party Originator's originations or purchases, to calendar
months commencing January 1, 2006, as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall
reasonably request. Such statements and letters shall be addressed to and be for
the benefit of such parties as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall designate,
which may include, by way of example, any Sponsor, any Depositor and any broker

Third-Party Originator to) (i) notify the Purchaser and any Depositor in writing
of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the
Seller or any Third-Party Originator and (B) any affiliations or relationships
that develop
39
following the closing date of a Securitization Transaction between the Seller or
any Third-Party Originator and any of the parties specified in clause (D) of
paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other parties identified in writing by
the requesting party) with respect to such Securitization Transaction, and (ii)
provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor a description of such proceedings,
affiliations or relationships.
Subsection 12.05 Indemnification; Remedies.
(a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the
Purchaser, and each of the following parties participating in a Securitization
Transaction: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person responsible for the
preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the
Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of
a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange
Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting
as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls
any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present
and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing
and of the Depositor, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of
them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
(i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged
to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material provided under this Section 12 by or on behalf of
the Seller, or provided under this Section 12 by or on behalf of any
Third-Party Originator (collectively, the "Seller Information"), or (B) the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Seller Information a material
fact required to be stated in the Seller Information or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification,
that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to
the Seller Information and not to any other information communicated in
connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether
the Seller Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or
separately from such other information;
(ii) any failure by the Seller or any Third-Party Originator to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants' letter or
other material when and as required under this Section 12; or
(iii) any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set
forth in Subsection 12.03(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to
Subsection 12.03(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the
related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not
cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a representation
or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 12.03(b) to the
extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date.
In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of this
Section, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as
applicable, and each Person
40
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to
be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or
for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d)
under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all
costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information,
report, certification, accountants' letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Seller or any Third-Party Originator.
(b) Any failure by the Seller or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any
information, report, certification, accountants' letter or other material when
and as required under this Section 12, or any breach by the Seller of a
representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 12.03(a) or in a writing
furnished pursuant to Subsection 12.03(b) and made as of a date prior to the
closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such
breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a
representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection
12.03(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall
immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an
Event of Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and the
operative agreement pursuant to any applicable Reconstitution.
SECTION 13. The Seller.
Subsection 13.01 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
The Seller shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation
except as permitted herein, and shall 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 enable the
Seller 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 the FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing
of mortgage loans and shall be a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇- or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac-approved
seller/servicer.
Subsection 13.02 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 in connection with the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans 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
41
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
obligation to sell or duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its incurring 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 shall be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses, costs
and liabilities are subject to the Seller's indemnification under Subsections
7.03 or 13.01.
SECTION 14. [Reserved].
SECTION 15. 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 financial statements of the
Seller and the Seller's parent company, if applicable, for the most recently
completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The
Seller also shall make available any comparable quarterly financial statements
and other interim statements to the extent such other interim statements have
been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to 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.
SECTION 16. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale
and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the Closing Date is mandatory,
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 Initial Purchaser for the losses and damages
incurred by the Initial 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
42
Mortgage Loans, (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans delivered
pursuant to Section 7, or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable
to the Initial Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The Seller
hereby grants to the Initial 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 Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser's (i) right to reject
any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) obligation to pay
the related 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 17. 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:
(i) if to the Purchaser:
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Lending, Inc.
▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Attn: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
(ii) if to the Seller:
First Franklin Financial Corporation
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Attn: Director, Capital Markets
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like
notice. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to
have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the
addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the
date noted on the return receipt).
SECTION 18. Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation
or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or
unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part,
provision, representation 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.
43
SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed
to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 20. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any
conflicts of law provisions and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York, except to the extent preempted by Federal law.
SECTION 21. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the
parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the
Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security.
Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal
income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of
the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall have the right to review the
Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage File 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 Initial Purchaser in the course of such review.
SECTION 22. Successors and Assigns. 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. The
Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is
transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing and to any Person to whom
the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred.
Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall
succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to
the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to
the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a
separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and such Purchaser, and a
separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and each other Purchaser to
the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans. In the event that this
Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of
any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the rights and benefits under this
agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall inure to the benefit of both the
Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and the Person to whom the
servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has been transferred;
provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be repurchased by the
Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04 shall be retained solely by the
Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.
SECTION 23. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be
waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed
by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
SECTION 24. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby
incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.
44
SECTION 25. Nonsolicitation. The Seller covenants and agrees that it
shall not take any action to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan
following the date hereof or provide information to any other entity to solicit
the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan; provided that, the foregoing shall not
preclude the Seller from engaging in solicitations to the general public by
newspaper, radio, television or other media which are not directed toward the
Mortgagors or from refinancing the Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without
solicitation, contacts the Seller to request the refinancing of the related
Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 26. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this
Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context
otherwise requires:

is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the
reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other
subdivisions;
(e) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and other words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision; and
(f) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation by
reason of enumeration.
SECTION 27. Reproduction of Documents. This Agreement and all

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

such subsequent Purchaser is independently introduced to the Seller; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not apply to a purchaser of the Mortgage Loans
that is ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Seller will keep confidential and will
not, without the Purchaser's written consent, divulge to any party the Purchase
Price of the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent that it is appropriate to do
so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies.
Seller agrees and acknowledges that as to all nonpublic personal
information received or obtained by it with respect to any Mortgagor: (a) such
information is and shall be held by Seller in accordance with all applicable
law, including but not limited to the privacy provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-
Bliley Act of 1999; (b) such information is in connection with a proposed or
actual secondary market sale related to a transaction of the Mortgagor for the
purposes of 16 C.F.R., Section 313.14(a)(3); and (c) Seller is hereby prohibited
from disclosing or using any such information internally other than to carry out
the express provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 30. Survival. The Seller agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein and in any certificate or
other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by
the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by

warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery and payment for the Mortgage
Loans.
