the Securityholders in any Loan, the Assignor shall, within 90 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, either (i) cure such breach
in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with respect
to a Loan or a Related Document, either (A) repurchase such Loan from the Trust
at the Repurchase Price, or (B) substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Loans
for such Loan, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth below.
Upon discovery by the Assignor or upon notice from the
Assignee, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or
any Custodian, as applicable, of a breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in Exhibit B attached hereto pursuant to Section 2 above
2
with respect to any Loan that materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Securityholders or of the Assignee in such Loan (notice of which shall be
given to the Assignee by the Assignor, if it discovers the same),
notwithstanding the Assignor's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance
of such representation and warranty, the Assignor shall, within 90 days after
the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice thereof, either cure such
breach in all material respects or either (i) repurchase such Loan from the
Trust at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Loans for such Loan, in each case in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth below. The Repurchase Price for any such Loan repurchased
by the Assignor shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the Servicer in
the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Servicing
Agreement.
The Assignor may only substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan
or Loans for a Deleted Loan pursuant to this Section 4 if the Assignor obtains
an Opinion of Counsel generally to the effect that the substitution of an
Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan will not cause an entity
level federal or state income tax to be imposed on the Trust. The Assignor shall
also deliver to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trust, with respect to
such Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note and all other
documents and agreements as are required herein, with the Mortgage Note endorsed
as required herein. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and
will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Assignor on
the next succeeding Payment Date, provided that a payment at least equal to the
applicable Monthly Payment has been received by the Trust, for such month in
respect of the Deleted Loan. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Custodial Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will include the Monthly
Payment due on a Deleted Loan for such month and thereafter the Assignor shall
be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The
Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Loan Schedule to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute
Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Loan Schedule to the
Indenture Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement in all respects, and the Assignor shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties with respect to the Eligible Substitute Loan
contained herein and set forth in paragraphs (b) through (qq) of Exhibit B
attached hereto as of the date of substitution, and the Assignor shall be
obligated to repurchase or substitute for any Eligible Substitute Loan as to
which a Repurchase Event has occurred as provided herein. In connection with the
substitution of one or more Eligible Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted
Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (such amount, a "Substitution
Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Eligible Substitute Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate principal balance of all such Deleted Loans (after application of the
principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that
are to be distributed to the Custodial Account in the month of substitution).
The Assignor shall deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial
Account on the day of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor.
Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust
and the applicable Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing
Officer, of the deposit of such Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an
Eligible Substitute Loan (together with the complete related Mortgage File) and
deposit of any applicable Substitution Adjustment Amount as provided above, the
applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall release to the
Assignor the related
3
Mortgage File for the Loan being repurchased or substituted for and the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Assignor or its designee
such Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Loan shall not be an
asset of the Trust.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Assignor to cure any breach, or to repurchase or substitute for, any Loan as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Assignee, the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders) and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders) against the Assignor.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3 above and Exhibit B attached hereto pursuant
to Section 2 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian.

EXHIBIT C
CONTENTS OF EACH MORTGAGE FILE
With respect to each Loan, the Mortgage File shall include each of the
following items, which shall be delivered to the Assignee or its designee
pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached:
1. The original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed "Pay to the order of _________, without recourse" and signed in the
name of the originator of the related Loan (the "Originator") by an authorized
officer. To the extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage Notes
for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge, if state law
so allows. If the Loan was acquired by the Originator in a merger, the
endorsement must be by "[Originator], successor by merger to [name of
predecessor]". If the Loan was acquired or originated by the Originator while
doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by "[Originator],
formerly known as [previous name]";
2. The original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon. If in
connection with any Loan, the Assignor cannot deliver or cause to be delivered
the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the
Assignment Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where
such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has
been lost or because such public recording office retains the original recorded
Mortgage, the Assignor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Assignee or
its designee, a photocopy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a
delay caused by the public recording office, an officer's certificate of the
Originator stating that such Mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate
public recording office for recordation and that the original recorded Mortgage
or a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a
true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage will be promptly
delivered to the Assignee upon receipt thereof by the Originator; or (ii) in the
case of a Mortgage where a public recording office retains the original recorded
Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public
recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;
3. The originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;
4. The original Assignment of Mortgage for each Loan, in form and
substance acceptable for recording. The Assignment of Mortgage must be duly
recorded only if recordation is either necessary under applicable law or
commonly required by private institutional mortgage investors in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located or on direction of the Assignee. If the
Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the
Assignee. If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of
Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the Loan was acquired by the Originator
in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by "[Originator], successor
by merger to [name of predecessor]". If the Loan was acquired or originated by
the Originator while doing business under another name, the Assignment of
Mortgage must be by "[Originator], formerly known as [previous name]";

5. The originals of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage with
evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not

public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage,

of such intervening assignment, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused
by the public recording office, an officer's certificate of the Originator
stating that such intervening assignment of mortgage has been dispatched to the
appropriate public recording office for recordation and that such original
recorded intervening assignment of mortgage or a copy of such intervening
assignment of mortgage certified by the appropriate public recording office to
be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment of
