The aggregate Purchase Price of Purchased Assets subject to outstanding Transactions plus the aggregate amount of Future Funding Commitments with respect to all Purchased Assets shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price.

b. With respect to each Transaction Seller shall give Buyer and Custodian at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of any proposed Purchase Date (the date on which such notice is given, the “Notice Date”). On the Notice Date, Seller shall (i) request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by furnishing to Buyer a Transaction Request accompanied by a Complete Submission and (ii) deliver to Buyer and Custodian a proposed Purchased Asset Schedule.

e.

Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement.

f. This Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then in the event that Seller has executed an engagement letter for Transaction 2 (as defined in the MOU) and such engagement letter is consistent with the terms of the MOU, the Termination Date shall be extended to (A) the date that is the earlier of (i) the CDO-2 Closing Date, (ii) 180 days after the Initial Commitment Expiration Date (the “Extended Commitment Expiration Date”) and (iii) 364 days from the date of this Agreement or (B) such other date as is mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller.

Seller is obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Assets from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

b. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and Buyer has received the related Repurchase Price, upon repurchase of the Purchased Assets, Buyer agrees to release its ownership interest hereunder in the Purchased Assets (including, the Repurchase Assets related thereto) at the request of Seller.

With respect to Purchased Assets being serviced by Third Party Servicers, the Seller shall forward or cause to be forwarded all payments to the Buyer to the extent received from the underlying

obligor and the applicable Third Party Servicer up to the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Asset. Buyer agrees to release its ownership interest in Purchased Assets which have been prepaid in full after receipt of evidence of compliance with clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

d. The Seller may voluntarily repurchase Purchased Assets at their respective Repurchase Prices without penalty or premium on any Business Day, upon the written consent of the Buyer. If the Seller intends to make such a repurchase, the Seller shall give two Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Buyer, designating the Purchased Assets to be repurchased, which notice is irrevocable if not revoked prior to the date one Business Day prior to the proposed Repurchase Date. Any repurchase under this paragraph (other than with respect to Ineligible Assets and Impaired Assets) shall include the applicable Exit Fee, provided, however that in the event such Purchased Asset is included as an asset of the CDO Transaction, the Buyer shall refund such Exit Fee to the Seller on the closing date of such CDO Transaction.

e. If the Seller repurchases, in whole or in part, Purchased Assets on any day that is not the Repurchase Date or a Price Differential Payment Date for such Purchased Assets, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and hold the Buyer harmless from any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and/or expenses that the Buyer sustains or incurs arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by the Buyer hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, in each case for the remainder of the applicable LIBOR Period (“Breakage Costs”). The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith, and in accordance with customary procedures used in the relevant markets by market participants, by the Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller, absent manifest error.

f. Prior to the Termination Date, the Buyer may sell or dispose (or direct the sale or disposition) of any Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset following notice to the Seller, and the Seller shall terminate, at its own expense, any related Interest Rate Protection Agreement within one Business Day of such sale or disposition; provided, that, subject to the right of the Seller to otherwise commence foreclosure or other remedies on any collateral securing any Purchased Asset pursuant to this Section 4(f), nothing in this Section 4(f) shall prohibit the Buyer from commencing foreclosure or other remedies on any collateral securing any Purchased Asset. Prior to the Termination Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Seller shall at all times have the right, upon notice to the Buyer, to direct the Servicer or the Special Servicer to commence foreclosure or other remedies on any collateral securing any Purchased Asset. Upon notice of the intent by the Buyer to sell an Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset, the Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) shall have the right to purchase such Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset within two Business Days following

receipt of such notice of intent to sell in exchange for payment in cash of the Repurchase Price for such Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset. The proceeds from the sale of any Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset shall be deposited into the applicable Account and shall be applied to the repayment of such Ineligible Asset or Impaired Asset.

g. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date other than CDO-1 Closing Date, CDO-2 Closing Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall give notice thereof to the Seller, and upon such notice the Seller may elect, within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, through written notice to the Buyer, to purchase from the Buyer all of the Purchased Assets (and, at its option, and to the extent permitted by any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, obtain a novation of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement) for settlement on the Termination Date in exchange for payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price therefor in cash on such date. If the Seller does not so elect to purchase the Purchased Assets, then the Buyer may exercise any of the remedies available to it pursuant to Section 16.

h. Five Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date, Buyer shall give Seller written or electronic notice of the amount of the Repurchase Price due thereon.

     5. Price Differential

a. On the beginning of each LIBOR Period that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Price Differential Payment Date. On the Price Differential Payment Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer (to the extent not paid on such date through the distributions required pursuant to Sections 7(d) or 7(e) hereof) the accrued but unpaid Price Differential and the accrued but unpaid Administration Fee for such Price Differential Payment Date (along with any other amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 7 and Section 34), by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

b. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Price Differential Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Price Differential at the applicable Pricing Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Buyer. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand.

     6. Margin Maintenance

a. Subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, if at any time, any of the following has occurred: (i) either (x) the Market Value of any Purchased Asset is less than Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Purchased Asset or (y) if the Buyer determines in its sole good faith discretion that the aggregate Outstanding

Purchase Price (relative to the Purchased Assets) would not receive a rating of at least BBB- (or the comparable designation) from any Rating Agency, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion generally in accordance with methodology used by any Rating Agency (each, a “Margin Call Deficit”), (ii) a Credit Loss occurs with respect to any Purchased Asset, or (iii) the Market Value of any Purchased Asset is less than the Capital Call Amount of such Purchased Asset (each, a “Capital Call Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (each notice of a Margin Call Deficit or Credit Loss is herein referred to as a “Margin Call”; a notice of a Capital Call Deficit is herein referred to as a “Capital Call”) require Seller to cure such Margin Call Deficit, Credit Loss or Capital Call Deficit by transferring to Buyer, (A) cash or (B) additional collateral acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith (such cash or additional collateral paid by Seller to Buyer is herein referred to as “Additional Collateral”), so that the sum obtained by adding the Asset Value of such Purchased Asset, plus the Asset Value of such Additional Collateral shall equal or exceed the Deficit Cure Amount for such Purchased Asset as of the same date; provided, however, that if and so long as the Call Support Condition exists, Buyer shall not be required to make a Capital Call hereunder on account of a Call Deficit unless and until the Call Support Condition no longer exists. Seller’s failure to cure any Margin Call Deficit, Credit Loss or Capital Call Deficit as required by the preceding sentence prior to expiration of the time period set forth in the first sentence of Section 6(b) below (in the case of a Margin Call) or the second sentence of Section 6(b) below (in the case of a Capital Call) shall constitute an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents and shall entitle Buyer to exercise its remedies under Section 16 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the liquidation remedy provided for in Section 16(d) of this Agreement).

b. If any Margin Call is given by Buyer under Section 6(a) of this Agreement, Seller shall transfer Additional Collateral as provided in Section 6(a) by no later than two Business Days after the giving of such Margin Call notice. If any Capital Call is given by Buyer under Section 6(a) of this Agreement, Seller shall transfer Additional Collateral as provided in Section 6(a) of this Agreement by no later than ten Business Days after the giving of such Capital Call notice; provided, however, that if a Capital Call is made with respect to any Purchased Asset and Seller requests, in a written notice to Buyer given not later than five Business Days after the giving of a Capital Call notice, that Buyer make a determination whether the “Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition” (as defined below) will be satisfied, Seller’s obligation to transfer Additional Collateral to cure a Capital Call Deficit with respect to a Purchased Asset shall be deferred (each, a “Capital Call Deferral”) if and for so long as (A) no Margin Call Deficit exists with respect to such Purchased Asset, and no Capital Call Deficit or Margin Call Deficit exists with respect to any other Purchased Asset, and no Event of Default exists, and (B) Buyer determines, in Buyer’s sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that the aggregate excess Income (i.e., the excess Income after application thereof to the Price Differential and the other obligations of Seller in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, exclusive, however, of Principal Payments) to be generated from all other Purchased Assets (i.e., all Purchased Assets other than the

Purchased Asset to which such Capital Call is made) and distributed on the Price Differential Payment Date immediately following such Capital Call will, when added to the Asset Value of such Purchased Asset, equal or exceed the Deficit Cure Amount for such Purchased Asset (the “Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition”). If a Capital Call Deferral occurs, (X) the related Capital Call Deficit shall not be deemed to have been waived and shall nevertheless continue to exist unless and until the Capital Call Deficit is satisfied with Additional Collateral or pursuant to applications of funds to satisfy the same pursuant to Section 6(a) and (Y) and any CF Sweep Condition related to such Purchased Asset shall continue to exist. Without limiting Buyer’s other rights and remedies or operating to extend any other applicable time periods hereunder (including any time periods for notice and cure or applicable to any Margin Call or Event of Default), (A) any Capital Call Deferral shall automatically end if Buyer makes a Margin Call Deficit with respect to such Purchased Asset or if a Capital Call Deficit or Margin Call Deficit exists with respect to any other Purchased Asset or if an Event of Default occurs, and (B) such Capital Call Deferral shall end at Buyer’s option, and Buyer may give a further Capital Call notice with respect to the Capital Call Deficit subject to such Capital Call Deferral (indicating that the Capital Call Deferral is ended), and the provisions of this sentence and Section 6(a) of this Agreement shall apply to such further Capital Call. Buyer may also make a Capital Call (indicating that the Capital Call Deferral is ended) if Buyer determines, in good faith, that the Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition will not be satisfied. Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement may be given by any means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The failure of Buyer on any one or more occasions to exercise its rights under Section 6(a) of this Agreement shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under Section 6(a) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party. Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be given by any written means. Any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Days following the date such notice was given; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Days following the date such notice was given. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

c. Any Additional Collateral transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Assets shall be attributed to the Transaction relating to such Purchased Assets.

d.

To the extent that the Buyer remits cash or collateral received as Additional Collateral to the Seller, such cash shall not be additional Purchase Price with respect to the Transactions. Any request received by the Buyer on any Business Day shall be remitted by the Buyer no later than five Business Days following such request.

Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as the Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Buyer and its designee shall exercise such rights only on the Seller’s behalf.

legal fees for any subsequent amendments to this Agreement or related documents shall be borne by Seller. Seller shall pay ongoing custodial and bank fees and expenses and any other ongoing fees and expenses under any other Program Agreement.

  (b) If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any Eurodollar reserve requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions or shall subject the Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis or rate of taxation of payments to the Buyer in respect thereof, then Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the additional amounts as specified by Buyer to compensate Buyer for such increased cost.

  (c) With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication (other than a Transaction Request or other material agreement) that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(5) hereof. In each such case, Seller hereby waives the right to dispute Buyer’s record of the terms of the Purchase Confirmation, request or other communication.

  (d) Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller agrees and covenants with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.

  (e) Taxes.

     (i) Any and all payments by the Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreements to which the Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If the Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements to the Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 11(e)) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of a Buyer,

Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

     (ii) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Agreement (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

     (iii) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 11(e) imposed on or paid by such Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses, but not including any costs or expenses arising as a result of the Buyer providing erroneous information to the Seller regarding its tax status) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 11(e)(iii) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 11(e)(iii) shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

     (iv) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof (and, if the Seller is indemnifying the Buyer for Taxes pursuant to Section 11(e)(iv) above, the Buyer shall provide such receipt to the Seller). For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 11(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

          Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 11(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 11(e) shall require the Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

          Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by the Seller for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by the Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

     12. Servicing

a. Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, that if any Purchased Asset becomes a Specially Serviced Purchased Asset, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer, in its sole discretion and without any consent or consultation from Seller, has the right to consent to the appointment of any Special Servicer that is not (i) a special servicer set forth on Schedule 6 hereto and (ii) on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer.

b. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by Seller, Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of the Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”). Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

c. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a Third Party Servicer, Seller (i) shall, in accordance with Section (3)(b)(7), provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Buyer, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Servicing Agreement”), and shall provide a Servicer Notice to Buyer substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, fully executed by Seller and the applicable Servicer; and (ii) hereby irrevocably assigns to Buyer and Buyer’s successors and assigns all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under, and the benefits of, any Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller agrees that no Person shall assume the servicing obligations with respect to the Purchased Assets as successor to the applicable Servicer unless such successor is approved in writing by Buyer prior to such assumption of servicing obligations. Each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) the date on which this Agreement terminates or (ii) the transfer of servicing approved by Buyer.

d. If the servicer of the Purchased Assets is Seller, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right to terminate Seller as servicer of the Purchased Assets and transfer servicing to Buyer’s designated Servicer, at no cost or expense to Buyer, at any time thereafter. If a Servicer of the Purchased Assets is not Seller, Buyer shall have the right, as contemplated in the applicable Servicer Notice, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to terminate any applicable Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Buyer’s designated Servicer, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate such Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to Buyer’s designated Servicer, as well as any servicing fees and expenses payable to such Servicer.

e. After the Purchase Date, until the repurchase of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall have the right to modify or alter the terms of such Purchased Asset in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

f. In the event Seller or its Affiliate is servicing the Purchased Assets, Seller shall permit Buyer, upon two (2) Business Day’s notice, during normal business hours, to inspect Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Purchased Assets as provided in this Agreement.

     13. Representations and Warranties

a. Each of Seller and Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

          (1) Seller and Guarantor Existence. Seller has been duly formed and is validly existing as an limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Guarantor has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

          (2) Licenses. Each of Seller and Guarantor is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action would not (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not to its knowledge in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the default of which would not (either individually or in the aggregate) cause a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Seller and Guarantor has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Eligible Assets (as applicable) and to own, sell and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Assets, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, each Program Agreement and any Transaction Request or Purchase Confirmation.

          (3) Power. Each of Seller and Guarantor has all requisite limited liability company or limited partnership power, as the case may be, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (4) Due Authorization. Each of Seller and Guarantor has all necessary limited liability company or limited partnership power, as the case may be, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. This Agreement, any Transaction

Request, Purchase Confirmation and the Program Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements and any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and Guarantor, as the case may be, all requisite or other limited liability company or limited partnership action, as the case may be, having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller and Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

          (5) Financial Statements. Guarantor has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the quarterly fiscal period of Guarantor ended December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such quarterly fiscal period. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such fiscal period, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Guarantor aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change. Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Guarantor except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in writing.

          (6) Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section 15(b) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.

          (7) Solvency. Each of Seller and Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Neither Seller nor Guarantor intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale

of the Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

          (8) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the organizational documents of Seller or Guarantor or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller or Guarantor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller or Guarantor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which Seller or Guarantor is a party.

          (9) True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers prepared by or on behalf of Seller and/or Guarantor and furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete in all material respects and to the knowledge of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

          (10) Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller or Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and the Program Agreements.

          (11) Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which Seller or Guarantor has received service of process or, to the best of Seller’s or Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Transaction, Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any Program Agreement, (C) makes a claim individually in an amount greater than $2,500,000 or in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000, or (D) which might materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any Program Agreement.

          (12) Intentionally Omitted.

          (13) Ownership. Upon payment of the Purchase Price and the filing of the financing statement and delivery of the Asset Files to the Custodian and the Custodian’s receipt of the related Purchased Asset Schedule, Buyer shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Assets and related Repurchase Assets, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for Seller’s rights hereunder.

q. Transactions with Affiliates. Seller will not enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate unless such transaction is (a) in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and (b) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to Seller than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate.

     16. Remedies Upon Default

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing:

a. Buyer may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller or any Affiliate), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to Seller and Guarantor of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

b. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

c. Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of

Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets held by Custodian, Buyer shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt.

d. Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets with or without cause. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets and liquidate all Repurchase Assets (with the Seller entitled to a right of first offer, acceptable in the sole discretion of the Buyer). Such disposition of Purchased Assets may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.

e. Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

f. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally,

further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

g. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder.

h. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

i. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

j. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

k. Buyer shall perform reasonable due diligence in accordance with Section 36 hereof with respect to Seller and the Purchased Assets, which review shall be at the expense of Seller.

l. The Seller recognizes the Buyer may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Buyer than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Buyer shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Seller to register such securities for public sale under the 1933 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Seller would agree to do so.

m. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, in no event shall Purchased Assets remain in the custody of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

     17. Reports

a. Notices. Seller or Guarantor shall furnish to Buyer (x) promptly, copies of any material and adverse notices (including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential defaults or potential breaches) and any material financial information that is not otherwise required to be provided by Seller hereunder which is given to Seller’s lenders, (y) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or default or breach by the Seller, a Servicer or the Guarantor of any obligation under any Program Agreement or any material contract or agreement of the Seller, a Servicer or the Guarantor or the occurrence of any event or circumstance that such party reasonably expects has resulted in, or will, with the passage of time, result in, a Material Adverse Effect or an Event of Default or such a default or breach by such party and (z) the following:

          Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets with a counterparty of Buyer’s choice. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 4 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 7 hereof. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

     19. Single Agreement

          Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereunto, and will enter into each Transaction hereunder, in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

     20. Notices and Other Communications

     21. Entire Agreement; Severability

          This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or

agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

     22. Non-Assignability

          The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller or Guarantor. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, however that assignments to Buyer’s non-Affiliates shall require the consent of the Seller not to be unreasonably withheld unless there is an Event of Default, in which case no consent shall be required; and provided further that Buyer shall maintain as agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii) to another Person approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

          The Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements, except as provided in Section 11(e).

          The Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 22, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to the Seller or any of its respective Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to the Buyer by or on behalf of the Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

     23. Set-off

          In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

     24. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

b. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

     25. No Waivers, Etc.

          No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

     26. Intent

a. The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as

amended (except insofar as the type of Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

b. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

c. The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

d. It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

e. This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

     27. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

a. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

b. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

c. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not

a deposit and therefore are not insured by the FDIC or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

     28. Power of Attorney

          Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact and (ii) to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Repurchase Assets. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.

     29. Buyer May Act Through Affiliates

               Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more affiliates for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.

     30. Indemnification; Obligations; Recourse

a. Each of Seller and Guarantor agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Guarantor also agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller’s and Guarantor’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each of Seller and Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and Guarantor and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the

Purchased Assets. Seller and Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

b. Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to compensate Buyer for any losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.

c. Without limiting the provisions of Section 30(a) hereof, if Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion.

d. The obligations of the Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due and Obligations owing under this Repurchase Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of the Seller.

     31. Counterparts

          This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     32. Confidentiality

     This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Seller and Guarantor in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s and Guarantor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys, investors or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body.

     33. Recording of Communications

          Buyer, Seller and Guarantor shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions. Buyer, Seller and Guarantor consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings. The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.

     34. Exit Fee

          In the event that a Purchased Asset (a) is repurchased before the Termination Date and is not directly placed in a CDO Transaction or placed into another investment banking transaction provided by and acceptable to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or (b) is not repurchased before the Termination Date, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the applicable Exit Fee on such Repurchase Date to the account set forth in Section 9; provided, that, with respect to a Purchased Asset repurchased before the Termination Date, no such Exit Fee shall be due if such Purchased Asset is (i) prepaid in whole or in part, (ii) repurchased as a result of no longer being an Eligible Asset or (iii) placed in a CDO transaction for which the Buyer or an Affiliate thereof acts as lead manager under the terms of the MOU; provided, further, that in the event the Seller pays an Exit Fee with respect to a Purchased Asset, and such Purchased Asset is later included as an asset of the CDO Transaction, the Buyer shall refund such Exit Fee to the Seller on the closing date of such CDO Transaction. The obligations of the Seller to pay the Exit Fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     35. Administration Fee

          The Seller shall pay to the Buyer in consideration of its administration of the facility, with respect to each Price Differential Payment Date, an amount designated by the Buyer in its sole discretion, calculated daily on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the Purchase Date for such Transaction and ending on (but excluding) the Repurchase Date.

     36. Periodic Due Diligence Review

          Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Seller and the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications and updating Market Value determinations, made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Guarantor and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may

purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Purchased Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Purchased Asset. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 36 (“Due Diligence Costs”).

     37. Appointment of Agent.

          (a) As a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Incorporated (“MLCI”), as agent of Buyer and Seller, will be responsible for (i) effecting Transactions with respect to Securities hereunder, (ii) issuing all required confirmations and statements to Buyer and Seller, (iii) maintaining books and records relating to Transactions as required by SEC regulations, and (iv) receiving, delivering and safeguarding Seller’s funds and any securities in connection with Transactions hereunder, in compliance with SEC regulations.

          (b) MLCI is acting in connection with Transactions hereunder solely in its capacity as agent for Buyer and Seller pursuant to instructions from Buyer and Seller. MLCI shall have no responsibility or personal liability to Buyer or Seller arising from any failure by Buyer or Seller to make payment, deliver securities, or perform any other obligations hereunder, including without limitation obligations to transfer margin or collateral, except for MLCI’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as agent hereunder. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to proceed solely against the other to collect or recover any securities or money owing to it or to enforce any of its rights in connection with or as a result of Transactions hereunder.

          (c) The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not govern any repurchase transaction between (i) MLCI, acting in its individual capacity, and Seller or (ii) Seller and any entity other than Buyer, regardless of whether MLCI is acting as agent for such other entity.

     38. Authorizations

          Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 3 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

     39. Documents Mutually Drafted

          The Seller, Guarantor and the Buyer agree that this Agreement each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the Transactions set forth herein have been
