rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. 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 issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements 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 provided for in the Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a

-24-

“master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any 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. The insurance policy provides for advance notice to the Seller or Servicer if the policy is canceled or not renewed, or if any other change that adversely affects the Seller’s interests is made; the certificate includes the types and amounts of coverage provided, describes any endorsements that are part of the “master” policy and would be acceptable pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor, any Subservicer or any prior originator or subservicer’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and 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. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate that consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development (or with respect to each Co-op Loan, an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing corporation); provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the

-25-

Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the Mortgaged Properties are (a) log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types, or (b) Manufactured Homes. The representation and warranty in (b) above is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected, first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(A) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;

(B) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(C) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (A) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(D) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

With respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential

-26-

cooperative housing corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by the related Security Agreement;

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and

-27-

clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except as may be required of the Seller in its capacity as Servicer of such Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;

(n) Doing Business.

(o) CLTV, LTV and PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien Loan has a CLTV greater than 100%. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium if the related PMI Policy is lender-paid;

(p) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No

-28-

claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(q) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;

(r) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal (except for Mortgage Loans that provide for a fixed period of interest-only payments at the beginning of their term) and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than fifteen years from commencement of amortization. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that provides for a fixed period of interest-only payments at the beginning of its term, at the end of such interest-only period, the Monthly Payment will be recalculated so as to require Monthly Payments sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by its stated maturity date. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon

-29-

payment on its stated maturity date; and by its original terms or any modification thereof, does not provide for amortization beyond its scheduled maturity date;

(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;

(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which is attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement). The Mortgage Loan is in conformity with the standards of Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae under one of their respective home mortgage purchase programs (except that the principal balance of certain Mortgage Loans may have exceeded the limits of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx and no representations have been made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;

(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence;

(z) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the

-30-

Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loan to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally. No Mortgaged Property is located in a state, city, county or other local jurisdiction which the Purchaser has determined in its sole good faith discretion would cause the related Mortgage Loan to be ineligible for whole loan sale or securitization in a transaction consistent with the prevailing sale and securitization industry (including, without limitation, the practice of the rating agencies) with respect to substantially similar mortgage loans;

(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian.

(ee) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

(ff) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

-31-

All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller or the Interim Servicer executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments.

The Seller has caused or will cause to be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of the Purchaser in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Purchaser. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will

(qq) Credit Information.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Penalty upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment Penalty, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a penalty and (iii) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents pursuant to applicable state, local and federal law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(tt) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

-34-

(uu) Single-premium credit life insurance policy. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(vv) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;

(ww) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is either (x) a First Lien Loan covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is transferable, or (y) a Second Lien Loan subordinate to a First Lien Loan which, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is transferable. On the related Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser a transfer fee of two dollars ($2.00) for each Mortgage Loan covered by such a tax service contract. If such a tax service contract with First American Real Estate Tax Service is not in place then a placement fee of seventy two dollars ($72.00) will apply for each such Mortgage Loan;

(xx) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(yy) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;

(zz) Co-op Loans. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock that is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a person as a tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code);

(aaa) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. The Mortgagor has not filed a bankruptcy petition, is not the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding and has not consented to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to a receiver being appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged Property;

(bbb) No Prior Offer. The Mortgage Loan has not previously been offered for sale;

-35-

(ccc) Georgia Fair Lending Act. There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 which is secured by property located in the State of Georgia. There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after March 7, 2003 that is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(ddd) No Arbitration. No Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004 agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan transaction. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(eee) Flood Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, flood service contract issued by either First American Flood Data Services or Fidelity, and such contract is transferable. If no such flood service contract is in place, or if such flood service contract is issued by an insurer other than First American Flood Data Services or Fidelity, then on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser a placement fee of ten dollars ($10.00) for each such Mortgage Loan;

(fff) Negative Amortization. No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative amortization;

(ggg) Origination Practices/No Steering. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. For a Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the standard products. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(hhh) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely solely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

-36-

(iii) Points and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and “points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges which miscellaneous fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(jjj) Fees Charges. All points, fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation; and

(kkk) Second Lien Loans. With respect to each Second Lien Loan:

(i) No Negative Amortization of Related First Lien Loan. The related first lien loan does not permit negative amortization.

(ii) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. Where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and the Seller has notified the senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the related mortgage file;

(iii) No Default Under First Lien. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the related First Lien Loan related thereto is in full force and effect, and there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under such first Mortgage or Mortgage Note, and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration thereunder;

(iv) Right to Cure First Lien. The related first lien Mortgage contains a provision which provides for giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first lien Mortgage; and

-37-

(v) Principal Residence. The related Mortgaged Property is the Mortgagor’s principal residence. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.

Subsection 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other relevant parties.

Within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any such breach of a representation or warranty, which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured by the Seller by the earlier of sixty (60) days from (i) the Seller’s discovery of such breach or (ii) the Seller’s actual receipt of notice of such breach, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such affected Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding the above sentence, within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representation or warranty set forth in clause (vv) of Subsection 9.02, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans materially and adversely affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.02 (except as provided in the second sentence of this paragraph with respect to certain breaches for which no substitution is permitted) and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.03 shall be accomplished by either (a) if the Interim Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future

-38-

distribution or (b) if the Interim Servicing Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall plus one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate minus the related Servicing Fee shall be remitted by the Seller from its own funds directly to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions within three (3) Business Days of such substitution.

-39-

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 9.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser and Successor Servicer as provided in this Subsection 9.03 and in Subsection 15.01 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and Successor Servicer respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. For purposes of this paragraph “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement and “Successor Servicer” shall mean any Person designated as the Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Successor Servicers” pursuant to this Agreement.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Seller or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

Subsection 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with Early Payment Defaults.

If the related Mortgagor is delinquent with respect to any of the Mortgage Loan’s first three (3) Monthly Payments either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such request.

Subsection 9.05 Premium Recapture.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan without Prepayment Penalties that prepays in full during the first three (3) months following the related Closing Date, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is repurchased pursuant to Subsection 9.04, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days after such prepayment in full or repurchase, an amount equal to the excess of the Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan over par, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date.

SECTION 10. CLOSING

The closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date.

SECTION 13. COOPERATION OF SELLER WITH A RECONSTITUTION

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each, a “Reconstitution

-42-

Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

(i) Xxxxxx Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program (Special Servicing Option) (each, a “Xxxxxx Mae Transfer”); or

(ii) Xxxxxxx Mac (the “Xxxxxxx Mac Transfer”); or

(iii) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers; or

(iv) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Securitization Transactions.

The Seller agrees to execute in connection with any Agency Transfer, any and all pool purchase contracts, and/or agreements reasonably acceptable to the Seller among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac (as the case may be) and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a seller’s warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with a Securitization Transaction, a pooling and servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties (collectively, the agreements referred to herein are designated the “Reconstitution Agreements”).

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with one local counsel, if applicable)), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 17. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations under the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (a) right to reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (b) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this

-46-

Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 19. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 20. COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 21. [RESERVED]

SECTION 22. INTENTION OF THE PARTIES

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans

-48-

and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

SECTION 23. 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 the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller. There shall be no limitation on the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement. In the event the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect thereto.

SECTION 24. WAIVERS

No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 25. EXHIBITS

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

SECTION 30. NO SOLICITATION

-50-

Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, or any of its affiliates:

(i) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target Mortgagors; and

(ii) may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination arrangements that are available.

Promotions undertaken by the Seller or by any affiliate of the Seller which are directed to the general public at large (including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements), shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 30.

SECTION 31. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

-51-

SECTION 33. AMENDMENT

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

SECTION 34. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall employ proper procedures and standards designed to maintain the confidential nature of the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent: (a) the disclosure of which is reasonably believed by such party to be required in connection with regulatory requirements or other legal requirements relating to its affairs; (b) disclosed to any one or more of such party’s employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys or accountants who would have access to the contents of this Agreement and such data and information in the normal course of the performance of such Person’s duties for such party, to the extent such party has procedures in effect to inform such Person of the confidential nature thereof; (c) that is disclosed in a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum relating to a securitization of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser (or an affiliate assignee thereof) or to any Person in connection with the resale or proposed resale of all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans by such party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (d) that is reasonably believed by such party to be necessary for the enforcement of such party’s rights under this Agreement.

For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

SECTION 35. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto and any prior oral or written agreements between them shall be deemed to have merged herewith.

SECTION 36. COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Subsection 36.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 36 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in

-52-

unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Subsection 36.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

(a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 36.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) the Seller is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Seller; (ii) the Interim Servicer has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving the Interim Servicer as servicer has been disclosed or reported by the Seller; (iv) no material changes to the Interim Servicer’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will perform under the Interim Servicing Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there are no aspects of the Interim Servicer’s financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Interim Servicer of its servicing obligations under the Interim Servicing Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller, Interim Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator; and (vii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller, Interim Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

-53-

The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is unable without unreasonable effort or expense to provide Static Pool Information with respect to mortgage loans that the Seller sold on a servicing-released basis that were originated prior to January 1, 2006, other than with respect to mortgage loans included in any Static Pool Information provided by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 36.03, the Seller shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party.

Subsection 36.03 Information to Be Provided.

In connection with any Securitization Transaction the Seller shall (i) within five Business Days following request by the Purchaser or any Depositor, provide to the Purchaser and such Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor, the information and materials specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, and (ii) as promptly as practicable following notice to or discovery by the Seller, provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor (in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor) the information specified in paragraph (d) of this Section.

(a) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide such information regarding (i) the Seller, as originator of the Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent), or (ii) each Third-Party Originator, as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105, 1110, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB.

-54-

(C)

Such Static Pool Information shall be prepared in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(1)-(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to this paragraph. Such Static Pool Information for each vintage origination year or prior securitized pool, as applicable, shall be presented in increments no less frequently than quarterly over the life of the mortgage loans included in the vintage origination year or prior securitized pool. The most recent periodic increment must be as of a date no later than 135 days prior to the date of the prospectus or other offering document in which the Static Pool Information is to be included or incorporated by reference. The Static Pool Information shall be provided in an electronic format that provides a permanent record of the information provided, such as a portable document format (pdf) file, or other such electronic format reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Depositor, as applicable.

Promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Static Pool Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (including an omission to include therein information required to be provided pursuant to such paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool Information to the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the

-55-

same format in which Static Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the Seller.

If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), at the expense of the requesting party (to the extent of any additional incremental expense associated with delivery pursuant to this Agreement), such agreed-upon procedures letters of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, pertaining to Static Pool Information relating to prior securitized pools for securitizations closed on or after January 1, 2006 or, in the case of Static Pool Information with respect to the Seller’s or Third-Party Originator’s originations or purchases, to calendar months commencing January 1, 2006, as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall reasonably request. Such letters shall be addressed to and be for the benefit of such parties as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall designate, which may include, by way of example, any Sponsor, any Depositor and any broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser with respect to a Securitization Transaction. Any such statement or letter may take the form of a standard, generally applicable document accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing reliance by the addressees designated by the Purchaser or such Depositor.

(d) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Seller shall (or shall cause each Third-Party Originator to) (i) notify the Purchaser and any Depositor in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and (B) any affiliations or relationships that develop following the closing date of a Securitization Transaction between the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and any of the parties specified in clause (D) of paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other parties identified in writing by the requesting party) with respect to such Securitization Transaction, and (ii) provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor a description of such proceedings, affiliations or relationships.

(e) With respect to those Mortgage Loans that were originated by the Seller (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent) and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with then-current industry practice, cause the servicer (or another party) to be obligated to provide, information, in the form customarily provided by such servicer or other party (which need not be customized for the Seller) with respect to the Mortgage Loans reasonably necessary for the Seller to prepare static pool information as described in Item 1105(a)(2) and (3) of Regulation AB (such information provided by the servicer or such other party, the “Loan Performance Information”).

In addition, the Purchaser shall cause the related servicer (or such other party) to be obligated to provide, promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Loan Performance Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (including an omission to include therein information required to be provided pursuant to such paragraph), corrected Loan Performance Information in the same format in which Loan Performance

-56-

Information was previously provided to the Seller by such servicer (or such other party), subject to such time limits as mutually agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser.

Subsection 36.04 Indemnification; Remedies.

(a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the Purchaser, the Depositor and each of the following parties participating in a Securitization Transaction: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents shall include each of the following items, which shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be delivered to the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, pursuant to Section 6 of the Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Agreement”):

(a) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements, endorsed “Pay to the order of _________, without recourse” and signed in the name of the last endorsee (the “Last Endorsee”) 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 and the Custodian is so advised by the Seller that state law so allows. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”.

(b) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note;

(c) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon. With respect to any Co-op Loan, an original or copy of the Security Agreement. If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing 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 Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, 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 Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) 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 Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; 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;

(d) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;

(e) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance acceptable for recording (except with respect to MERS Designated Loans). 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 Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Purchaser. If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, the Assignment of Mortgage must be by “[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]”;

(f) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last Endorsee (or, in the case of a MERS Designated Loan, MERS) with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy 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 Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) 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 mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; or (ii) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment;

(g) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a certified true copy of the related policy binder or commitment for title certified to be true and complete by the title insurance company;

(h) the original or, if unavailable, a copy of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage;

A-1-2

(i) with respect to any Co-op Loan: (i) a copy of the Co-op Lease and the assignment of such Co-op Lease, with all intervening assignments showing a complete chain of title and an assignment thereof by Seller; (ii) the stock certificate together with an undated stock power relating to such stock certificate executed in blank; (iii) the recognition agreement of the interests of the Mortgagee with respect to the Co-op Loan by the residential cooperative housing corporation, the stock of which was pledged by the related Mortgagor to the originator of such Co-op Loan; and (iv) copies of the financing statement filed by the originator as secured party and, if applicable, a filed UCC-3 assignment of the subject security interest showing a complete chain of title, together with an executed UCC-3 assignment of such security interest by the Seller in a form sufficient for filing; and

(j) if any of the above documents has been executed by a person holding a power of attorney, an original or photocopy of such power certified by the holder of the original power of attorney to be a true and correct copy of the original.

In the event an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller is delivered to the Purchaser because of a delay caused by the public recording office in returning any recorded document, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, within 90 days of the related Closing Date, an Officer’s Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian; provided, however, that any recorded document shall in no event be delivered later than one year following the related Closing Date. An extension of the date specified in clause (iv) above may be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.

(b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except as provided in the following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the

B-3

reasonable judgment of such counsel it is necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in a timely manner, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.

Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 1, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s] their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the

B-4

Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s] or any such affiliate, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates or the Private Certificates.

0000 Xxxxxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Dear Sirs:

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General Counsel to ___________________ (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement by and between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Purchaser”), dated as of June 1, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”) which sale is in the form of whole loans, delivered pursuant to a Custodial Agreement dated as of _____________ __, ____ among the Purchaser, the Company, ________________________________ (the “Interim Servicer”) and ______________________[CUSTODIAN] (the “Custodial Agreement”, and collectively with the Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

[We] [I] have examined the following documents:

1. the Purchase Agreement;

2. the Custodial Agreement;

3. the form of Assignment of Mortgage;

4. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

5. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

D-1

Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:

1. The Company is a [type of entity] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the [United States] and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of [the state of incorporation].

2. The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of the Agreements.

3. The Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and are the legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

4. The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

5. The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute by original [or facsimile] signature the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.

6. Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreements and the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

7. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the Agreements conflict or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitute or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company or, to the best of my knowledge, the material terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.

8. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material

impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreements or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements.

9. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Agreements is sufficient to fully transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

10. The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been duly endorsed as provided in the Custodial Agreement. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreements, I assume no obligation to revise this opinion or alter its conclusions to update or support this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter develop.

This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of the date of this opinion.

Very truly yours,
