It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser.

SECTION 3.2. Seller Representations and Warranties Relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date that:

(i) the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule relating to the Mortgage Loans is true and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-off Date;

(vi) each Mortgage Note in respect of a Mortgage Loan provides for level monthly payments sufficient to fully amortize the principal balance of such Mortgage Note on its maturity date, except for no more than [ ]% of the Mortgage Loans (by Cut-off Date Balance) which provide for payments of interest only during the [first] five years of the Mortgage Loan before adjusting to a fully amortizing Mortgage Loan over the remaining term;

Where required by state law or regulation, each Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance; provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(xi) each Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and (a) the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission and (b) no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations under the related Mortgage Note;

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with, a Mortgage Loan establishes a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the property described therein and the Purchaser has full right to sell and assign the same to the Indenture Trustee;

SECTION 8.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, 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 8.6. Further Agreements. The Purchaser and the Seller each agree 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 any series of Notes representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.

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 any of the securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans. 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 provide to the Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with such transactions and the offering of securities rated by the applicable Rating Agencies.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller agrees to deliver to the Purchaser the following documents and opinions in connection with the issuance of the Notes on or before the Closing Date:

1. one or more opinions of counsel addressed to the Purchaser, the Depositor and to any Person reasonably designated by the Purchaser, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, from counsel to the Seller as to due incorporation and good standing, due authorization, execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement and related agreements for which the Seller is a signatory; the enforceability of such documents by the Seller; and other corporate matters;

2. an opinion of counsel to the Seller, addressed to the Purchaser, the Depositor and to any Person designated by the Purchaser, in a form acceptable to the Purchaser, addressing the characterization of the transfer of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser;

3. letters from the Seller’s certified public accountants, letters, dated the date of the prospectus supplement or any other offering document relating to the Notes and satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser, the Depositor and to any Person designated by the Purchaser, to the effect that such accountants have performed certain specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the prospectus supplement or any other offering document relating to the Notes agrees with the general accounting records of the Seller.

In addition, the Seller shall execute the Transfer and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as seller and will make the representations and warranties set forth in Article III herein to the Issuer, the Trust Administrator and the Indenture Trustee in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement as of the date of the issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 8.7. 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 the Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction, other than for federal income tax and accounting purposes, as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The parties hereto intend that for federal income tax purposes the transaction set forth herein be treated not as a sale, but as though the Seller retained the tax ownership of the Mortgage Loans through the Trust as a disregarded entity with the Seller as the borrower under the Notes.

SECTION 8.8. Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement. The Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser, the Indenture Trustee. 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. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the

Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue a series of securities, the payment of principal and interest on which will be secured by the mortgage loans and other assets of the trust. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trust and the pledge by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trust and Indenture Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trust or the Indenture Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trust or the Indenture Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.

SECTION 8.9. Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and the provisions of Article VI shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement. The representations and warranties shall not be impaired by any review and examination of documents to be delivered or held by the Seller in respect of each Mortgage Loan or other documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Purchaser or any successor or assignee thereof to review or examine such documents.

SECTION 8.10. Third Party Beneficiaries. The Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Administrator are the intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.
