NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I.
DEFINITIONS
AND SCHEDULES
Section
1.01. Definitions. Any
capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned
thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.
ARTICLE
II.
SALE
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS AND THE CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS;
PAYMENT
OF PURCHASE PRICE
Section
2.01. Sale
of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual
Rights. The
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does
hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each
Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance, and all
collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-Off Date
(and
all principal received before the Cut-Off Date to the extent such principal
relates to a Monthly Payment due after the Cut-Off Date); (ii) property which
secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed
in
lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect
of
the Mortgage Loans; (iv) any Additional Collateral with respect to the Mortgage
Loans; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns
to
the Purchaser the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights. The
Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise
such
Contractual Rights under each Servicing Agreement and such TMFI Contractual
Rights as if the Purchaser had been a party to each such Servicing Agreement
and
the TMFI Purchase Agreement, respectively.
Section
2.02. Obligations
of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In
connection with the transfer and assignment pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof,
the
Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date,
(a)
to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold
to
the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser
and
the Indenture Trustee, a computer file containing a true and complete list
of
all such Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the
Cut-Off Date, (i) its account number and (ii) the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance
and such file, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, shall also be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
2
In
connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of
the
Purchaser and the Issuer cause the Initial Seller to deliver to, and deposit
with the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian), on or before the Closing Date,
the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
including, but not limited to, the Mortgage File, the Servicing Agreements
and a
copy of the TMFI Purchase Agreement. In the case of the Mortgage Loans (if
any)
that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to execution
of
this Agreement, the Seller, in lieu of causing the Initial Seller to deliver
the
related Mortgage Files, shall cause the Initial Seller to deliver to the
Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such prepayments that are required
to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement have been so deposited.
The
Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser that it has made the appropriate entries
in its general accounting records, to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have
been
transferred as directed by the Purchaser.
The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all rights, title and interests
in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, the Contractual Rights
and the TMFI Contractual Rights, now existing or hereafter created, conveyed
to
it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.
The
parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a non-recourse
sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s rights, title and
interests in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described
in
Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth herein is
deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security
interest in all of the Seller’s rights, title and interests in, to and under the
Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether now
existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations
hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that,
if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights, such security interest
would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Indenture.
3
Section
2.03. Payment
of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In
consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related assets, the
Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights from the Seller to the
Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on
the
Closing Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to
$1,475,654,383.67 (which amount includes accrued interest) (the “Purchase
Price”).
The
Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all reasonable expenses incurred
by the Purchaser or the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes,
including, without limitation, printing fees incurred in connection with the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement and the
Memorandum relating to the Notes, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees
of the rating agencies requested to rate the Notes, accountant’s fees and
expenses and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and other out-of-pocket costs,
if any.

Section
7.04. Severability
of Provisions.
If any
one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no
way
affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement.
Section
7.05. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
Section
7.06. Further
Agreements.
Each
party hereto agrees to execute and deliver to the other such additional
documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and
appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with
the issuance of the Notes under the Indenture.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the
Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will
cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Notes. In that
connection, the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information
and
appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors
and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will

covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of
public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably required in
connection with the offering of the Notes.
Section
7.07. Intention
of the Parties. It
is the
intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is
selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure
a
loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend
to treat the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the
Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review
the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income
tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with
all
reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such
review.
Section
7.08. Successors
and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser and their respective assigns. The obligations of the
Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party
without the consent of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s
sole discretion, provided,
however,
that the
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations
hereunder to any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller
is a
party or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans, the Contractual
Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights for the purpose of selling and assigning
them to the Issuer which will pledge them to the Indenture Trustee. As an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller
acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Issuer
of
the TMFI Contractual Rights which may be enforced or exercised with the same
force and effect as if they had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser
directly.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be

officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above
