ARTICLE II
SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
Section 2.01. Sale of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Mortgage Loans. Concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Seller hereby transfers to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all of its right, title, and interest existing now or in the future
in,
(i) each Mortgage Loan, including its Asset Balance
(including all Additional Balances), the related Mortgage File, all
property that secures the Mortgage Loan, and all collections received
on it after the Cut-off Date (excluding payments due by the Cut-off
Date);
(ii) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that is acquired
by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure;
(iii) the Seller's rights under the hazard insurance
policies;
(iv) all rights under any guaranty executed in connection
with a Mortgage Loan;
(v) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust
for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer; and
(vi) all proceeds of the foregoing.
(b) By the sale of the Mortgage Loan and its Additional Balances, the
Seller has sold to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser has purchased from the
Seller, each future draw of new borrowing under the related Credit Line
Agreement. The Purchaser shall pay the Seller for each Additional Balance in
cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Additional Balance as
it arises. The Trust, the Seller, and the Purchaser may agree to a netting
arrangement in connection with this transaction, when appropriate, rather than
actually moving cash.
Section 2.02. Obligations of Seller Upon Sale.
In connection with any transfer pursuant to Section 2.01, the Seller
further agrees, at its own expense:
(a) to deliver to the Purchaser by the Closing Date a Mortgage Loan
Schedule containing an accurate list of all Mortgage Loans, specifying for
each Mortgage Loan, among other things, its account number and its Cut-off
Date Asset Balance; and
(b) to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have
been sold to the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, pursuant to
this Agreement by the Closing Date for the Mortgage Loans.

The Mortgage Loan Schedule is Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and shall also be attached as Schedule I to this Agreement and is
hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
The Seller agrees to perfect and protect the Purchaser's interest in
each Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1
Financing Statement with the Secretary of State in the State of New York
describing the Mortgage Loans and naming the Seller as debtor and the
Purchaser as secured party and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been
assigned to the Trust and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Seller. The Financing Statement shall be filed by the
Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that a
purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the collateral covered by the
Financing Statement from the debtor will violate the rights of the secured
party and its assignee.
The Purchaser agrees to perfect and protect the Trust's interest in
each Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC1
Financing Statement with the Secretary of State in the State of Delaware
describing the Mortgage Loans and naming the Purchaser as debtor and the Trust
as secured party (and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been pledged to
the Indenture Trustee) and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Purchaser. The Financing Statement shall be filed by
the Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that
a purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the collateral covered by the
Financing Statement from the debtor will violate the rights of the secured
party and its assignee.
In connection with any transfer by the Seller, the Seller shall
deliver to the order of the Purchaser the following documents for each
Mortgage Loan (the "Related Documentation"):
(i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank or, if the
original Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced,
an original lost note affidavit from the Seller stating that the
original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced, or destroyed, together
with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R)
System, an original assignment of mortgage in blank in recordable
form;
(iii) the original recorded mortgage with evidence of
recording on it (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan
and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the
Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) or, if the original recorded mortgage
with evidence of recording on it cannot be delivered by the Closing
Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where
the original Mortgage
3
has been delivered for recordation or because the original Mortgage
has been lost, the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
accurate copy of the mortgage, together with (i) when the delay is
caused by the public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of
the Seller or the Purchaser stating that the original mortgage has
been dispatched to the appropriate public recording official or (ii)
when the original mortgage has been lost, a certificate by the
appropriate county recording office where the mortgage is recorded;
(iv) any original intervening assignments needed for a
complete chain of title to the Trust with evidence of recording on
them, or, if any original intervening assignment has not been
returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, an
accurate copy of it, together with (i) when the delay is caused by
the public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Seller
or the Purchaser stating that the original intervening assignment has
been dispatched to the appropriate public recording official for
recordation or (ii) when the original intervening assignment has been
lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where
the mortgage is recorded;
(v) a title policy for each Mortgage Loan with a Credit
Limit in excess of $100,000;
(vi) the original of any guaranty executed in connection
with the Mortgage Note;
(vii) the original of each assumption, modification,
consolidation, or substitution agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loan; and
(viii) any security agreement, chattel mortgage, or
equivalent instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage.
The Related Documentation will be delivered:
(i) no later than the Closing Date, with respect to no less than
50% of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group,
(ii) no later than the twentieth day after the Closing Date,
with respect to no less than 40% of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan
Group in addition to those delivered on the Closing Date, and
(iii) within thirty days following the Closing Date, with
respect to the remaining Mortgage Loans.
The Seller confirms to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date, it
has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage
Loans maintained by the Seller to be clearly and unambiguously marked to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser, and sold by
the Purchaser to the Trust, and Granted by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee,
and that a purchase of those Mortgage Loans from the Seller or the Purchaser
will
4
violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party with respect to those
Mortgage Loans. By the applicable date of substitution, the Seller shall cause
the portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the relevant Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to be clearly and unambiguously
marked, and shall make appropriate entries in its general accounting records,
to indicate that those Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust at
the direction of the Purchaser and that they have been Granted by the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans from the
Seller or the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party
with respect to those Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser accepts all right, title, and interest of the Seller
existing now or in the future in the Mortgage Loans and other property
transferred to it pursuant to this Section.
Notwithstanding the characterization of the Notes as debt for
federal, state, and local income and franchise tax purposes, the transfer of
the Mortgage Loans is a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all the
Seller's interest in the Mortgage Loans and other property described above.
However, if the transfer were to be characterized as a transfer for security
and not as a sale, then the Seller hereby Grants to the Purchaser a Security
Interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in the Mortgage
Loans and other property described above, whether existing now or in the
future, to secure all of the Seller's obligations under this Agreement; and
this Agreement shall constitute a Security Agreement under applicable law.
Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.
In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to
the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to transfer to the
Seller on the Closing Date the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans provided
in the Adoption Annex attached as Annex 1 to this Agreement (the "Adoption
Annex").

month for the applicable interest rate adjustment date."
(30) The weighted average remaining term to maturity of the
Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group on a contractual basis as of the

Group range between approximately the dollar amounts specified in the
Adoption Annex for that Loan Group with an average of approximately
the dollar amount specified in the Adoption Annex for that Loan
Group. As of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan in either Loan Group

(36) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of
substitution), no default exists under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage
Loan and no event that, with the passage of time or with notice and
the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage Loan has occurred and
been waived. As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of
13
substitution), no modifications to the Mortgage Notes and Mortgage
Loans have been made and not disclosed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(37) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of
substitution), each Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with
the Sponsor's underwriting guidelines and the Sponsor had no
knowledge of any fact that would have caused a reasonable originator
of mortgage loans to conclude on the date of origination of each
Mortgage Loan that each such Mortgage Loan would not be paid in full
when due.
(38) To the best knowledge of the Seller at the time of
origination of each Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on or being
part of the Mortgaged Property was in violation of any applicable
zoning and subdivision laws or ordinances.
(39) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of
substitution), any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a
term of not less than five years in excess of the term of the related
Mortgage Loan.
(40) Based on the drawn balances of the Mortgage Loans, the
Mortgage Loans had the characteristics set out in the Adoption Annex
for each Loan Group in respect of the following: weighted average
Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio; range of Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios;
percentage of primary residences; weighted average FICO score; range
of FICO scores; Weighted Average Net Loan Rate; range of net Loan
Rates; weighted average original stated term to maturity; range of
original term to maturity; range of remaining term to maturity;
average drawn balance; weighted average utilization ratio; percentage
of the Mortgage Loans which have their respective Mortgaged
Properties located in the top five states, measured by aggregate
drawn balances.
(41) Any Mortgage Loan that has been modified in any manner
has been so modified in accordance with the policies and procedures
of the Master Servicer and in a manner that was permitted by the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, and any other Transaction
Document.
(42) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning
of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by an
entity that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
14
(43) At the time each Mortgage Loan was originated, the
Sponsor was, and the Sponsor is an approved seller of conventional
mortgage loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and is a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.
(44) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if
applicable, in an amount at least equal to the principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or a commitment
(binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the
origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and
remains in full force, and each such policy was issued by a title
insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and is in a form acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mac, which policy insures the Sponsor and successor owners of
indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first
priority lien, of the Mortgage subject to the exceptions in paragraph
(7) above.
(45) At the Cut-off Date, the improvements on each Mortgaged
Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy
with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and
extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an
amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing the Mortgage Loan or
(ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of the policy
will be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the mortgagee from
becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy
for the condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and
all flood policies referred to in item (46) below contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Sponsor or the original mortgagee, and
its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and the Sponsor has
received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon have not
been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance, at the
Mortgagor's expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such
insurance at the Mortgagor's expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor.
(46) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood
Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to the
15
Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount
representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the original
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum
amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement
cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
(47) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine, and each is the valid and legally binding obligation of its
maker, enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable
law, except that (a) its enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership, and other similar laws relating
to creditors' rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court
before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. To the best of
the Sponsor's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties.
(48) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or
other contingent interest feature.
(49) To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, all of the
improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach on the Mortgaged
Property.
(50) To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, 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
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless their
lack would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law.
(51) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions that render the rights and remedies of its holder adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security intended to be provided by it, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale,
and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
16
(52) Before the approval of the Mortgage Loan application,
an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a
qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Sponsor, who had no
interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any
loan secured by the Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(53) Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow
payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage
Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is
later, to the day that precedes by one month the Due Period of the
first installment of principal and interest and taxes and insurance
payments, the Sponsor has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited,
or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage.
(54) As of the Closing Date, no foreclosure proceedings are
pending against the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgage Loan is not
subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
(55) There is no homestead exemption available and
enforceable that materially interferes with the right to sell the
related Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose the related Mortgage.
(56) No borrower was required to purchase any single premium
credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident,
unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation
agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health
insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase debt
cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a
condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(57) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate,
conform in all material respects to their descriptions in the
Prospectus Supplement.
(58) As of the Closing Date, no Mortgaged Property has been
damaged by the hurricanes that struck the southeastern United States
in August and September of 2004 in a manner that materially affects
the value of the Mortgaged Property. Any damage to a Mortgaged
Property occurring after the Closing Date as a result of the
hurricanes referred to in the preceding sentence or any other
hurricane, tornado, or casualty shall not result in a breach of this
representation and warranty.
17
(59) No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and
Equity Protection Act of 1994.
(60) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002
and before March 7, 2003 is secured by Mortgaged Property located in
the State of Georgia.
(61) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of
substitution), no Mortgage Loan is classified as (1) a "high cost"
loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
(2) a "high cost," "threshold," "covered," "predatory," or similar
loan under any other applicable state, federal, or local law that
applies to mortgage loans (or a similar classified loan using
different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory
scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans
having high interest rates, points, or fees).
(62) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to
purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the
origination of, or as a condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(63) No subprime Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 will impose a prepayment premium after the third
anniversary of the Mortgage Loan. No subprime Mortgage Loan
originated before October 1, 2002, and no non-subprime Mortgage Loan,
will impose a prepayment penalty after the fifth anniversary of the
Mortgage Loan.
(64) The servicer for each Mortgage Loan has fully
furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax,
Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly
basis.
(65) All of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group specified
in the Adoption Annex conform to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac maximum
principal balance (by credit limit) guidelines.
(b) If the substance of any representation or warranty under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or in this Section made to the best of the Seller's
knowledge or as to which the Seller has no knowledge is inaccurate and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser or
its assignee in the related Mortgage Loan, then, notwithstanding that the
Seller did not know the substance of the representation and warranty was
inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, the inaccuracy
shall be a breach of the applicable
18
representation or warranty and the Seller shall cure the breach, repurchase
the Mortgage Loan, or substitute for the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The representations and warranties in this Section shall survive
the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser. The sole
remedy of the Purchaser, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
Noteholders, and the Credit Enhancer against the Seller for the breach of a
representation or warranty is the Seller's obligation to accept a transfer of
a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing and to
make any required deposit in the Collection Account or to substitute an
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller, as Master Servicer,
in its sole discretion, may purchase for its own account from the Trust any
Mortgage Loan that is 151 days or more delinquent. The price for any Mortgage
Loan purchased shall be calculated in the same manner as in Section 3.06 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be deposited in the Collection
Account. When it receives a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form
of Exhibit D to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall release to
the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver any instruments of transfer prepared by the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loan, without recourse, necessary to vest in the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to this Agreement, and the
purchaser of the Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trust's interest in
the Mortgage Loan and all security and documents. This assignment shall be an
assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of the Mortgage Loan
shall then own the Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any
further obligation to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Transferor, the Credit Enhancer, or the Noteholders with respect to it.
(e) A breach of any one of the representations in Sections
3.02(a)(59) to (65) will be considered to materially adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders.
