ARTICLE II
SALES AND TRANSFERS; SETTLEMENTS
SECTION 2.1 General Terms. On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, on the Closing Date, the Seller shall sell to the Buyer,
and the Buyer shall purchase from the
5
6
Seller, without recourse, except as specifically set forth herein, all right,
title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Historical Advances.
SECTION 2.2 Purchase and Sale.
(a) The Seller hereby irrevocably sells, sets over, assigns,
transfers and conveys to the Buyer and its successors and assigns, without
recourse, except as specifically set forth herein, and the Buyer hereby accepts,
purchases and receives from the Seller, all of the Seller's right, title, and
interest in and to the Historical Advances, together with all monies due or to
become due in respect thereof.
(b) The purchase price (the "PURCHASE PRICE") for the
Historical Advances shall be $12,717,191.07, plus the Limited Partnership
Interest. The Buyer shall pay and transfer to the Seller on the Closing Date the
cash portion of the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds and shall create the Limited Partnership Interest in favor of Seller.
(c) The Purchase shall be made, and the Purchase Price paid,
on the Closing Date; provided that all conditions precedent to the Purchase
specified in Section 4.1 shall have been satisfied.
SECTION 2.3 Intended as Sale.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
Purchase shall constitute a sale and assignment, which sale and assignment shall
be absolute, irrevocable and without recourse except as specifically provided
herein and shall provide the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the
Historical Advances. In the event that the Purchase is deemed by a court
contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than
a sale and assignment of the Historical Advances, the Buyer shall be treated as
having a first-priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the
Historical Advances. The possession by the Buyer or its agent of notes and such
other goods, money or documents related thereto, and the filing of Form UCC-1,
shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" and "perfection by
filing", respectively, for purposes of perfecting such security interest
pursuant to the Relevant UCC. The sale and conveyance hereunder of the
Historical Advances does not constitute an assumption by the Buyer or its
successors and assigns of any obligations of the Seller to any Person in
connection with the Historical Advances or under any Scheduled Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to the
Historical Advances.
(b) In connection with the Purchase, and to reflect the sale
of the Historical Advances by the Seller, the Seller agrees to record and file
on or prior to the Closing Date, at its own expense, financing statements with
respect to the Historical Advances, suitable to reflect the transfer of accounts
and general intangibles (each as defined in Article 9 of the Relevant UCC) and
meeting the requirements of applicable state Law in such manner and in such
jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale, transfer and assignment of
the Historical Advances from the Seller to the Buyer, and to deliver
file-stamped copies of such financing statements or other evidence of such
filing satisfactory to the Buyer on the Closing Date or the day thereafter. In
addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall, upon the
request of the Buyer, in
6
7
order to accurately reflect this transaction, execute and file such financing or
continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as
permitted pursuant to Section 8.9 hereof) as may be reasonably requested by the
Buyer.
(c) The Seller shall maintain its books and records,
including but not limited to any computer files and master data processing
records, so that such records that refer to Historical Advances sold hereunder
shall indicate clearly that the Seller's right, title and interest in such
Historical Advances has been sold to the Buyer. Indication of the Buyer's
interest in Historical Advances shall be deleted from or modified on the
Seller's records when, and only when, the Historical Advances shall have been
paid in full or the Buyer's interest in such Historical Advances shall have been
repurchased or repaid by the Seller hereunder.
SECTION 2.4 Protection of Ownership of the Buyer.
(a) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its
expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver all additional instruments and
documents and take all additional action that the Buyer may reasonably request
in order to perfect the interests of the Buyer in, to and under, or to protect,
the Historical Advances, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of
its rights or remedies hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, the Buyer and its successor and assigns shall be permitted to sign and file
continuation statements and amendments thereto without the Seller's signature if
the Seller shall have failed to sign such continuation statements, amendments or
assignments within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a request for such
execution from the Buyer. The Seller hereby irrevocably consents to Buyer's
execution in Seller's name of continuation statements, amendments or
assignments.
(b) At any reasonable time and from time to time at the
Buyer's reasonable request and upon seven days' prior notice to the Seller, for
so long as Seller is the Servicer under the Scheduled Pooling and Servicing
Agreements, the Seller shall permit such Person as the Buyer may designate to
conduct audits or visit and inspect the Chief Executive Office of the Seller to
examine the Records, internal controls and procedures maintained by the Seller
with respect to the Historical Advances and take copies and extracts therefrom,
and to discuss the Seller's affairs with its officers, employees and, upon
notice to the Seller, independent accountants. The Seller hereby authorizes such
officers, employees and independent accountants to discuss with the Buyer or its
designee the affairs of the Seller. Any audit provided for herein shall be
conducted in accordance with Seller's rules respecting safety and security on
its premises and without materially disrupting operations.
(c) If the Seller shall receive any payments with respect to
Historical Advances, the Seller shall hold such payments in trust and shall pay
such amounts to the applicable Scheduled Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreements.
(d) The Buyer shall have the right to do all such acts and
things as it may deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests hereunder,
including, without limitation, confirmation and verification of the existence,
amount and status of the Historical Advances.

SECTION 2.5 Mandatory Repurchase Under Certain Circumstances.
(a) The Seller shall promptly repurchase from the Buyer all
of the Historical Advances for a repurchase price equal to the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of all of the Historical Advances, if, at any time, the
Buyer shall cease to have a perfected ownership interest in all of the
Historical Advances purchased hereunder, free and clear of any Lien imposed by
or in respect of Seller, or if any of the representations or warranties made by
the Seller in Sections 3.1(b), (c), (f) and (i) prove to have been false or
misleading in any material respect as of the date on which they were made,
except that, with respect to the representations and warranties in Section
3.1(f), Seller shall be obligated to repurchase the Historical Advances as
provided herein only if the failure of such representation and warranty results
in any Form UCC-1 filed with respect to the Historical Advances not having been
filed in a location effective to perfect a security interest (with respect to
general intangibles) against the Seller under the Relevant UCC.
(b) If a Repurchase Event occurs with respect to any
particular Historical Advance, the Seller shall promptly repurchase such
Historical Advance from the Buyer for a purchase price equal to the then
Outstanding Balance of such Historical Advance.
(c) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall promptly notify
the other if it becomes aware of or receives notice of any fact or circumstance
that could or would cause the Seller to be obligated to repurchase any
Historical Advance pursuant to this Section 2.5 or any Historical Advance is not
otherwise recoverable. The repurchase price of any Historical Advances purchased
hereunder shall be deposited by Seller into an account designated by Buyer
within two (2) Business Days of Buyer notifying Seller that a Repurchase Event
has occurred, or of Seller becoming aware that such Repurchase Event has
occurred.
(d) Upon receipt by the Buyer of the Outstanding Balance of
any Historical Advance required to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this
Section 2.5, the Buyer shall automatically and without further action, be deemed
to sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the
Buyer in and to such Historical Advance and all monies due or to become due with
respect thereto; and such repurchased Historical Advance shall be treated by the
Buyer as collected in full as of the date on which it was transferred. The Buyer
shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take
such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the
conveyance of such Historical Advance and all monies due or to become due with
respect thereto, pursuant to this Section 2.5. Promptly following any such
repurchase, the Seller shall update Schedule 1 to remove therefrom such
repurchased Historical Advance, and deliver the same to the Buyer as so updated.
SECTION 2.6 Transfers by Buyer. The Seller acknowledges and
agrees that the Buyer may sell, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of the
Historical Advances.

business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities (including

Buyer and its successors and assigns).
(d) Authorizations and Filings. No authorization, consent,
approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration,
qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Official Body is or
will be necessary or, in the opinion of the Seller, advisable in connection with

company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(m) No Fraudulent Conveyance. The transactions contemplated

SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller With
Respect to the Sale of the Historical Advances. By selling Historical Advances
to the Buyer on the Closing Date, the Seller represents and warrants to the
Buyer as of the Closing Date (in addition to its other representations and
warranties contained herein or made pursuant hereto) that:
(a) Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreements. All of the
Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreements are in full force and effect and the
Seller as Servicer thereunder has not been terminated. Other than each
Certificate Insurer's right to terminate the applicable Scheduled Pooling and
Servicing Agreements based on Seller's failure to achieve certain delinquency
and/or loss targets, no event has occurred that would give any party to any
Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement the right (including with notice or
lapse of time or both) to terminate the Seller for cause as the Servicer or
Sub-Servicer under any Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the Seller
does not have actual knowledge of any pending or threatened action to terminate
the Seller as Servicer or Sub-Servicer under any of the Scheduled Pooling and
Servicing Agreements.
(b) Assignment. This Agreement vests in the Buyer all of the
right, title and interest in and to the Historical Advances, and constitutes a
valid sale of the Historical Advances, enforceable against, and creating an
interest prior in right to, all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.
(c) No Liens. Each Historical Advance is owned by the Seller
free and clear of any Lien (except any Lien of the Trust under the relevant
Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement), except as provided herein, and is
not subject to any dispute or other adverse claim, except as provided herein.
When the Buyer purchases the Historical Advances, it shall acquire ownership of
the Historical Advances, free and clear of any Lien, except as provided herein.
(d) Filings. On or prior to the Closing Date, all financing
statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to
perfect and protect the Historical Advances against all creditors of, and
purchasers from, the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever have been duly
filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and all filing fees and
taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have been paid in full
and all
11
12
documents required to be filed to release any Liens on the Historical Advances
shall have been filed.
(e) Collection Policy. The Seller has complied in all
material respects with the Collection Policy in regard to each Historical
Advance and the related Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller
has not extended or modified the terms of any Historical Advance or the related
Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in accordance with the
Collection Policy.
(f) Bona Fide Historical Advance. Each Historical Advance is
an obligation arising out of the making of a Monthly Advance or Servicing
Advance by the Seller or a predecessor servicer, in its capacity as a servicer
of a portfolio of mortgage loans, pursuant to a Scheduled Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Each Historical Advance relates to a Monthly Advance or Servicing
Advance that has been made in accordance with the terms of the related Scheduled
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller has no knowledge of any fact that
has led it to expect that such Historical Advance will not be fully recoverable
when the related mortgage loan is brought current or is liquidated and the
Seller had a good faith basis, at the time each Historical Advance was made, to
believe that such Historical Advance would be fully recoverable. As of the
Cut-off Date, the Seller has not received any payments in respect of the
Historical Advances which have not been attributed to the Historical Advances.
(g) Accuracy of Schedule. The information set forth in
Schedule 1 (including Annex A to Schedule 1) and in Schedule 2 hereto with
respect to the Historical Advances and the Scheduled Pooling and Servicing
Agreements is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.
(h) Creditor Approval. The Seller has obtained from each
Person that may have an interest in the Historical Advances (i) all approvals
that are necessary to sell and assign the Historical Advances in the manner
contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) releases of any security interests in
the Historical Advances.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
SECTION 5.1 Covenants of the Seller. At all times during the
term of this Agreement, unless the Buyer shall otherwise consent in writing:
(a) Enforceability of Obligations; Reimbursements. The
Seller shall take such actions as are reasonable and within its power to ensure
that, with respect to each Historical Advance, that Buyer will receive
reimbursements with respect to such Historical Advance as promptly as
practicable; provided however, that this subsection shall not constitute a
guarantee of payment or collection. The Seller shall enforce the right to
receive reimbursement for each Historical Advance against any and all parties to
a Scheduled Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if its usual and customary
procedures do not result in such reimbursement.
(b) Fulfillment of Obligations. The Seller shall duly
observe and perform, or cause to be observed or performed, all material
obligations and undertakings on its part to be observed and performed under or
in connection with this Agreement, the Collection Policies and the Scheduled
Pooling and Servicing Agreements; shall do nothing to impair the rights, title
and interest of the Buyer in and to the Historical Advances or the right or
ability of the Seller or the Buyer to realize thereon.
(c) Notice of Relocation. The Seller shall give the Buyer
thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any relocation of its Chief Executive
Office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC
of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Laws would require the filing
of any amendment of any previously filed financing statement or continuation
statement or of any new financing statement. The Seller will at all times
maintain its Chief Executive Office within a jurisdiction in the United States
in which Article 9 of the UCC (1972 or later revision) is in effect as of the
date hereof or the date of any such relocation.
14
15
(d) Further Information. The Seller shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Buyer such other information as promptly as practicable,
and in such form and detail, as the Buyer may reasonably request.
(e) Fees, Taxes and Expenses. The Seller shall pay all
filing fees, stamp taxes, other taxes and expenses that are incurred or assessed
on account of or arise out of this Agreement and the documents and transactions
entered into pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 5.2 Negative Covenants of the Seller. At all times
during the term of this Agreement, unless the Buyer shall otherwise consent in
writing:
(a) No Changes. The Seller shall not change its name,
identity or corporate structure in any manner which would make any financing
statement or continuation statement filed in connection with this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby misleading within the meaning of Section
9-402(7) of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Laws
unless it shall have given the Buyer at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice thereof and unless prior thereto it shall have caused such financing
statement or continuation statement to be amended or a new financing statement
to be filed such that such financing statement or continuation statement would
not be misleading.
(b) Collection Policy. The Seller shall not make, allow or
consent to any material change in its Collection Policy without prior written
notification to the Buyer.
ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION
SECTION 6.1 Termination. The Seller's obligations under this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Historical Advances
have been paid or liquidated; provided, however, that the indemnification and
payment provisions set forth in Article VII hereof shall be continuing and shall
survive termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 7.1 Indemnity.
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless
the Buyer and any of its successors or permitted assignees (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY" and collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), other than for
the Indemnified Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, forthwith on
demand, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party (or any successors thereto)
and expenses of settlement, litigation or preparation therefor) which any
Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any Person (whether on its own behalf or derivatively on behalf of the
Seller) arising from or incurred in connection with (i) any breach of
15
16
a representation, warranty or covenant by the Seller made or deemed made
hereunder or in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or
(ii) any action taken or, if the Seller is otherwise obligated to take action,
failed to be taken, by the Seller with respect to the Historical Advances or any
of its obligations hereunder including, without limitation, the Seller's failure
to comply with an applicable Law or regulation
(b) Promptly upon receipt by any Indemnified Party under
this Section 7.1 of notice of the commencement of any suit, action, claim,
proceeding or governmental investigation against such Indemnified Party, such
Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Seller hereunder, notify the Seller in writing of the commencement thereof. The
Seller may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such
suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation at its expense, and no
settlement thereof shall be made without the approval of the Seller and the
Indemnified Party. The approval of either party will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(c) Each Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts
to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for
indemnification.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 8.1 Survival. The indemnification and payment provisions
of Article VII shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this
Agreement, subject to applicable statutes of limitation; provided, however, that
any such indemnification or payment claim must be presented to the Seller within
thirty (30) Business Days after the Person making such claim receives notice or
otherwise becomes aware of such claim, provided, further, however, that any
failure to give such notice shall not prejudice the rights of any Indemnified
Party except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure to give
notice.
SECTION 8.2 Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be
waived or amended only in a writing signed by the parties hereto.
SECTION 8.3 Notices. Except as provided below, all
communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to the other party at its address or telecopy number set forth
hereunder or at such other address or telecopy number as such party may
hereafter specify for the purposes of notice to such party. Each such notice or
other communication shall be effective if given by facsimile, when such
facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 8.3
and the appropriate written confirmation is received or, if given by any other
means, when received at the address specified in this Section 8.3. Each party
further agrees to deliver promptly to the other party a written confirmation of
each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of the Seller. However,
the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice.

SECTION 8.4 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of
Jury Trial; Process Agent. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Seller and the Buyer
hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of courts of the State of New
York located in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York for purposes of adjudicating any claim or
controversy arising in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Seller and the Buyer hereby irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent they may lawfully do so, any objection which they may
17
18
now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought
in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall
affect the right of any Person to bring any action or proceeding against the
Seller or the Buyer or their respective properties in the courts of other
jurisdictions. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY
PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. INSTEAD, ANY
DISPUTES RESOLVED IN COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.
(b) THE SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES CT CORPORATION
AS ITS DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT TO RECEIVE, FOR AND ON BEHALF OF IT,
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT. THE SELLER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF
ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING
OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO CT
CORPORATION, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ TO ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES IN
SECTION 8.3, WHICH SERVICE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE MAIL AND SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE. NOTHING
HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE BUYER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST
THE SELLER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
SECTION 8.5 No Implied Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No course of
dealing and no delay or failure of the Buyer in exercising any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement shall affect any other or future exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any
further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies of the Buyer under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies which the Buyer would otherwise have.
SECTION 8.6 No Discharge. The obligations of the Seller under
this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in
any way affected by (a) any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement or applicable Law, including,
without limitation, any failure to set-off or release in whole or in part by the
Buyer of any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of
the Buyer or any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or
inaction in respect of any thereof, or (b) any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing which would operate as a discharge of the
Buyer as a matter of law.

SECTION 8.7 Prior Understandings. This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written
or oral with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
SECTION 8.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that the Seller may not assign any of its rights or delegate
any of its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer. No
provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the ability of the
Buyer to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer
any portion of the Historical Advances owned by the Buyer. The Seller further
agrees that notwithstanding any claim, counterclaim, right of setoff or defense
which it may have against the Buyer due to a breach by the Buyer of this
Agreement or for any other reason, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of the
Buyer or any other event whatsoever, the Seller's sole remedy shall be a claim
against the Buyer for money damages, and in no event shall the Seller assert any
claim on or any interest in the Historical Advances or take any action which
would reduce or delay receipt of collections with respect to the Historical
Advances.
SECTION 8.09 Severability; Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision in
such jurisdiction or such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.10 Expenses. Seller shall pay Buyer's costs and
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with Buyer's negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer's counsel, and Buyer's costs and expenses
