PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.01. Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the 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. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise such Contractual Rights under each Servicing Agreement as if the Purchaser had been a party to each such agreement.

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 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, the Depositor and the Issuer 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 and the Servicing Agreements. 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 delivering the related Mortgage Files, shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser, the Depositor and the Issuer 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, and the 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 and the 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.

Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related assets and the 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”) minus any expenses billed to the Purchaser in connection with the issuance and offering of the Notes pursuant to the SASCO Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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 and the Contractual Rights for the purpose of selling and assigning them to the Depositor pursuant to the SASCO Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which in turn will sell and assign such Mortgage Loans, Contractual Rights and contractual rights under the SASCO Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement 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 Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Issuer, and the pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, of all of the Contractual Rights and contractual rights under the SASCO Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which may be enforced or exercised with the same force and effect as if they had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.

SCHEDULE III

SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND

WARRANTIES RELATING TO

MORTGAGE LOANS

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date:

(i) The information set forth in the final Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects and (b) the Mortgage Note or an affidavit of lost note with respect to each Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Seller or its designee.

(ii) As of the Cut-off Date, none of the Mortgage Loans (by Scheduled Principal Balance) were 30 or more days delinquent in payment.

(iii) To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid.

(iv) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including with respect to provisions relating to any Additional Collateral (if applicable)) have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Trust, and which are included in the Mortgage File, the substance of which waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, in each instance to the extent required by the related policy and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except for any modification agreement or similar document contained in the Mortgage File permitting a borrower to modify his Mortgage Loan, no instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and title insurer, in each instance to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File.

(v) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including with respect to provisions relating to any Additional Collateral (if applicable)) are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and to Seller’s knowledge no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

III-1

(vi) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, their successors and assigns as mortgagee and to Seller’s knowledge all premiums thereon have been paid. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
