(ii) With respect to any principal payment received by Seller pursuant to clause (A) of Section 2.1(c)(i), (x) the Cut-off Date Principal Balance for the applicable Current Loan shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such principal payment, and (y) the Purchase Price shall be re-calculated incorporating the reduced Cut-off Date Principal Balance. With respect to the accrued but unpaid interest owing to Seller pursuant to clause (C) of Section 2.1(c)(i), the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis for any Current Loan by the amount of the unpaid interest on such Current Loan; provided that Purchaser shall not pay more than thirty (30) days interest with respect to any Current Loan.

(iii) If Seller, between the Cut-Off Date and the Closing Date, shall make (A) a scheduled advance of loan proceeds which is required under the express provisions of a Current Loan which advances when combined with the outstanding balance on the Cut-Off Date, must not exceed the face principal amount of such Current Loan, (B) any Servicing Advances (to the extent permitted by Section 6.2(b)(vi)) with respect to any of the Assets (it being understood that Seller is responsible for all Servicing Advances made and/or incurred prior to the Cut-off Date), or (C) if Purchaser consents in writing to any other discretionary advance made with respect to any Loan, then Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for such advances made on a dollar-for-dollar basis pursuant to an adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Any payments required to be made by Seller pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a schedule that allocates the Purchase Price (expressly excluding any Additional Consideration which will not be allocated to any Asset) to each Asset on a relationship level, based on the borrower relationships identified by Seller (the “Purchase Price Allocation”).

On the Closing Date, each REO Property shall be conveyed by a deed containing only those certain representations and/or warranties that are contained in a deed of special warranty in the State of South Carolina, or the equivalent thereof in the applicable state where such REO Property is located (each, a “Deed” and, collectively, the “Deeds”), the form of which shall be reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, which Deed shall convey the REO Property to Purchaser, subject only to Permitted Exceptions.

(b) Fixtures and Personalty. Included in the sale of each REO Property are all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the fixtures used in connection therewith, including, if any, all carpeting, floor coverings, drapery rods, venetian blinds, window shades, window coverings, screens, screen doors, storm windows and doors, awnings, shutters, furnaces, heaters, heating equipment, stoves, ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwave ovens, washers, dryers, other appliances, oil and gas burners and fixtures appurtenant thereto, hot water heaters, plumbing and bathroom fixtures, electric and other lighting fixtures, mantels, fences, gates, trees, shrubs, plants, air conditioning equipment, ventilators, furniture, equipment and supplies relating to such REO Property, together with any other intangible property owned or controlled by Seller in connection therewith, including, without limitation, all engineering and design plans and specifications, marketing reports, licenses, franchises, permits, zoning rights, density rights, impact fee credits, entitlements, approvals, development orders, bonds posted in connection with the completion of improvements and/or infrastructure and other similar rights.

Seller and Purchaser shall each pay 50% of any deed tax, mansion tax, transfer tax, deed recording tax or any other comparable tax in connection with the transfer of any REO Property to Purchaser, and each of Seller and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the failure of the other to pay their respective 50% shares of all such amounts on a timely basis.

- 9 -

(e) Extension to Perfect Title or Make REO Property Conform, etc. If, on the Closing Date, Seller shall be unable to convey title to any REO Property as required by Section 2.3(a) hereof, or if any REO Property does not conform with the provisions hereof, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make title conform to the requirements of this Agreement, or to make the applicable REO Property conform to the provisions hereof, in which event the Closing Date with respect to such REO Property shall be extended for a period of up to ninety (90) days (the “REO Closing Extension”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller’s “reasonable efforts” shall not in any event require Seller to spend in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per REO Property, including attorneys’ fees. The covenants set forth in Section 6.1(a) shall be applicable to any such REO Property during the REO Closing Extension. In the event there is an REO Closing Extension with respect to any REO Property, the closing shall proceed as to the remainder of the Assets and the Purchase Price to be paid on the Closing Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Purchase Price allocable to the Loan from which the REO Property arose. If Seller has timely succeeded in making such REO Property conform to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then Seller shall give notice to Purchaser and the closing of the sale of such REO Property, for an amount equal to the Purchase Price allocable to the Loan from which the REO Property arose, subject to adjustments and prorations as provided in this Agreement, shall occur seven (7) Business Days thereafter. If Seller fails to make such REO Property conform, or to fulfill and satisfy all of Seller’s agreements, representations and warranties with respect to such REO Property, then the terms and provisions of Sections 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) shall govern.

(f) Failure to Perfect Title or Make REO Property Conform, etc. If, at the expiration of the REO Closing Extension, Seller is unable to convey title that conforms to the requirements of Section 2.3(a), or to make the applicable REO Property conform as required by this Agreement, then, at Purchaser’s option, the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to such REO Property shall cease and this Agreement with respect to such REO Property shall be void without recourse to the parties hereto.

(g) Purchaser’s Election to Waive. Notwithstanding any provision above to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the election, at any Closing Date to accept such title as Seller can deliver and/or to accept said REO Property in its/their then condition and to pay the allocable Purchase Price therefor without deduction, in which case Seller shall convey such title.

Section 2.4. Collateral Assignments

If the parties are unable to agree on a final Correction Statement during the Mediation Period, then as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Mediation Period, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereof, the determination of the final Correction Statement shall be submitted for determination by a firm of independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing and acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. Not later than the tenth Business Day following the determination of the final Correction Statement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in cash, the amount by which the Purchase Price, as set forth in the final Correction Statement, exceeds the Purchase Price paid at Closing, or, in the alternative, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, the amount by which the Purchase Price paid at Closing exceeds the Purchase Price as set forth in the final Correction Statement.

Section 3.3. Representations and Warranties affecting Individual Assets

Seller hereby makes, as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, and with respect to any Asset subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(e)-(g), the date of any sale after any REO Closing Extension, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibits D-1 and D-2.

Section 3.4. Repurchases

It is understood and agreed that, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall survive the sale and delivery of the Assets to Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and to Designated Purchasers notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note or Assignment of Mortgage or any examination or failure to examine any Loan File. Pursuant to Section 3.5, Purchaser may require that Seller repurchase an Asset from Purchaser as a result of the breach of, or inaccuracy in, certain of the representations and warranties of Seller for an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for that Asset. Upon completion of such repurchase by Seller, the Purchaser and Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Asset to Seller and the delivery to Seller of any documents held by Purchaser, the applicable Designated Purchaser or the Custodian relating to the repurchased Asset. In the case of any lien for which an assignment from Seller to Purchaser has been recorded prior to repurchase, Seller shall cause to be prepared an assignment of such lien from Purchaser to Seller, and Purchaser shall within thirty (30) calendar days of Seller’s delivery thereof, execute and deliver same to Seller.

Section 3.5. Indemnification.

(a) Survival. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.5, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months following the applicable Closing Date with respect to any Asset; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the parties contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and Sections (g) and (l) and the first sentence of Section (q) of Exhibit D-1 and Sections (g) and (m) and the first sentence of Section (r) of Exhibit D-2 (collectively, the “Special Representations”) shall survive indefinitely. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive until the date explicitly specified therein or, if not so specified, indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 3.5 shall survive the time at which it otherwise would terminate if a notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnification shall have been given in writing to the party against whom such indemnification may be sought prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period.

(b) Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.5, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, each Designated Purchaser and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all Damages incurred or suffered by such person (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim or a claim solely among the parties) resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

- 14 -

(i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iii) unless the Asset is repurchased pursuant to Section 3.5(f), failure to deliver a document in its original form listed in subsections 1, 2, 3(i) (unless delivered as contemplated by subsection 3(ii) or 3(iii)), 5, 6, 7, or 11 of Exhibit C, but only to the extent Purchaser suffers Damages resulting from Seller’s inability to deliver the document in its original form; or

(iv) any claim that arises out of or relates to any action, inaction, error, omission, event or condition related to the Assets that occurred or is alleged to have occurred prior to the Servicing Transfer Date.

Purchaser shall be solely entitled to make any claim under this Section 3.5(b) on behalf of itself, any Designated Purchaser and/or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents.

(c) Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.5, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all Damages incurred or suffered by such person (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim or a claim solely among the parties) resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

(i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or

(iii) any claim that arises out of or relates to any action, inaction, error, omission, event or condition related to the Assets that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Servicing Transfer Date.

Seller shall be solely entitled to make any claim under this Section 3.5(c) on behalf of itself and/or its officers, directors, employees and agents.

(d) Limits on Indemnification.

(i) Deductibles for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 3.5(d)(ii) and Section 3.5(e), Seller shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 3.5(b) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of Seller, and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any indemnified party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 3.5(c) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties of Purchaser, unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by the indemnified party for such matters exceeds $100,000, and then only to the extent of Damages in excess of such amount.

- 15 -

(ii) Caps for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Subject to the following sentence, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to clause (i) of Section 3.5(b), and the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser pursuant to clause (i) of Section 3.5(c), shall be equal to (A) $7,500,000 for any claims for Damages made under clause (i) of Section 3.5(b) or clause (i) of Section 3.5(c) during a period of six (6) months following the applicable Closing Date (provided that, if any notice(s) of the inaccuracy or breach of any representation(s) or warranty(ies) giving rise to a right of indemnification shall have been given in writing to the party against whom such indemnification may be sought prior to the expiration of such six (6) month period the maximum aggregate liability of the indemnifying party shall be $7,500,000 for such claim(s)); and (B) thereafter, $5,000,000 for any claims for Damages made under clause (i) of Section 3.5(b) or clause (i) of Section 3.5(c). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that the maximum aggregate liability for indemnification claims for breaches of representations and warranties, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be reduced from $7,500,000 to $5,000,000 after a period of six months so that claims made after six months would be subject to the lower maximum aggregate liability of $5,000,000. The limits on indemnification set forth above shall not apply to any indemnification claim resulting from, in connection with or arising out of (i) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any party in connection with this Agreement, (ii) any of the matters referred to in Section 3.5(b)(ii), Section 3.5(b)(iii), Section 3.5(c)(ii), or Section 3.5(c)(iii), (iii) any of the matters referred to in Section 3.5(e), or (iv) any claims for Damages made with respect to Special Representations.

(e) Remedy Limited to Repurchase. With respect to any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations or warranties in Sections (i), (k) and (t) of Exhibit D-1 or Sections (i), (l) and (t) of Exhibit D-2 of this Agreement with respect to any Asset(s), Purchaser may give written notice to Seller of such breach, and Seller shall have the right to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser during a period of seventy-five (75) days after receipt of such notice. In the event Seller fails to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser within such seventy-five (75) day period, Seller shall repurchase such Asset(s) (and, at the option of Purchaser, any Related Asset(s)) at the Repurchase Price (such repurchase to be as-is and without any recourse or representation of any kind by Purchaser, and Seller shall be responsible for and pay when due and payable, all transfer, filing and recording fees and taxes, costs and expenses and any state or county documentary taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with each such repurchase). In the event that any other Loan or group of Loans that is not a Related Asset has one or more common Obligors or has an Obligor that is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any Obligor under any Loan repurchased by Seller pursuant to this Section 3.5(e) or Section 3.5(f), unless and until such other Loan(s) has/have been indefeasibly paid in full or otherwise satisfied in Purchaser’s discretion, Seller hereby agrees as follows:

(i)

Seller shall be entitled to net proceeds received from the liquidation of collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date;

- 16 -

(ii)

Seller’s rights to collect amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in clause (i) from such Obligor shall be fully subordinate to any indebtedness owed to or claims made by Purchaser and no property or assets of such Obligor (other than collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date) shall be applied against the repurchased Loan;

(iii)

Seller will not commence any action or proceeding against such Obligor, or join with any creditor (unless the Purchaser shall so join) in bringing any proceeding against such Obligor under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement of debt, receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute of the federal or any state government;

(iv)

Seller will not obtain or otherwise acquire or accept any lien on any property or assets of such Obligor;

(v)

other than collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date, Seller will not commence any action or proceeding with respect to any property or assets of such Obligor, will not take possession of, sell, or dispose of any property or assets of such Obligor, and will not exercise or enforce any right or remedy available to Seller with respect to any property or assets of such Obligor;

(vi)

if Seller receives any payment in respect of such repurchased Loan that Seller is not entitled to receive under the provisions of this Section 3.5(e), Seller will hold the amount so received in trust for Purchaser and will forthwith turn over such payment to Purchaser in the form received (except for the endorsement of Seller where necessary) for application to such other Loan(s), in such manner of application as Purchaser may deem appropriate;

(vii)

if Seller exercises any right of setoff (other than against collateral securing the repurchased Loan as of the Closing Date) or takes any other action which Seller is not permitted to exercise or take under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of such repurchased Loan, Seller will promptly pay over to Purchaser, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount of the claims or obligations so offset or an amount equal to any amount recovered from any such action, as applicable; and

(viii)

if Seller fails to make any endorsement required under this Agreement, Purchaser is hereby irrevocably appointed as the attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for Seller to make such endorsement in Seller’s name. The turnover of any prohibited payments by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.5(e) shall not limit or restrict any other claims, actions, rights or remedies which Purchaser may have against Seller as a result of Seller’s exercising any right or taking any action which is not permitted under the terms of this Section 3.5(e).

The repurchase of the Asset and any Related Asset(s) shall be the sole remedy for the breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations or warranties specified in the first sentence of this Section 3.5(e) of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser may elect to exercise either the remedy set forth in Section 3.5(b) or this Section 3.5(e), with respect to Seller’s breach of Section (t) of Exhibit D-1 or Section (t) of Exhibit D-2 of this Agreement.

- 17 -

(f) Missing Documentation. Purchaser shall have a period of one hundred fifty (150) days following the Closing Date to notify Seller of the failure to deliver any document that was required to have been included in the Loan Files, and Seller shall have the right to cure such failure to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser during a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice and/or Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable adjustment to the Purchase Price with respect to the relevant Asset. Unless a document in its original form is required to enforce any rights of Purchaser thereunder or otherwise with respect to an Asset and without limiting Purchaser’s rights pursuant to Section 3.5(b)(iii), the delivery of a true and correct copy of the missing document required to have been included in the Loan Files in its original form together with an affidavit of lost document, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, shall be deemed an acceptable cure to Seller’s failure to deliver such document. With respect to the failure to deliver any document listed in subsections 1-12, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 25 of Exhibit C, in the event that Seller shall not cure such failure to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser or Seller and Purchaser shall not mutually agree on an adjustment to the Purchase Price with respect to relevant Asset during such 45-day period, Seller shall repurchase the relevant Asset(s) (and, at the option of Purchaser, any Related Asset(s)) at the Repurchase Price (such repurchase to be as-is and without any recourse or representation of any kind by Purchaser, and Seller shall be responsible for and pay when due and payable, all transfer, filing and recording fees and taxes, costs and expenses and any state or county documentary taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with each such repurchase). In the event Purchase fails to notify Seller of any missing documentation within such one hundred fifty (150) day period, Seller shall have no further liability to Purchaser or its indemnities with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 3.5(b)(iii), any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement relating to the absence of any document from the Loan Files.

(g) Third Party Claim Procedure.

(i) Notice. If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action by a third party in respect of which indemnification shall be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the Third Party Claim and, if ascertainable, the amount in dispute under the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

- 18 -

(ii) Defense. In the event of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall have the right to elect to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party and at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, if the indemnifying party (i) has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the indemnifying party shall provide indemnification to the indemnified party in respect thereof, and (ii) if requested by the indemnified party, has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s financial ability to pay any Damages resulting from the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party may participate therein through separate counsel chosen by it and at its sole cost and expense.

(iii) Cooperation. From and after delivery of a Claim Notice of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates and representatives to, cooperate in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party in connection therewith. In addition, the party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the non-controlling party advised of the status thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto.

(iv) Settlement Limitations. Except as set forth below, no Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party or (ii) by the indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall have the right to consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into a settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party if the judgment or settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages (all of which will be paid in full by the indemnifying party concurrently with the effectiveness thereof) and (ii) includes, as a condition to any settlement or other resolution, a complete and irrevocable release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(h) Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies for injunctive or equitable relief, claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if a Closing Date occurs, the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim arising out of this Agreement.

(ix) Payments Received after the Servicing Transfer Date. The amount of any related Monthly Payments received by Seller after the Servicing Transfer Date shall be forwarded to Purchaser by overnight mail on the date of receipt. Seller shall notify Purchaser of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement shall be satisfied if Seller forwards with its payment sufficient information to permit appropriate processing of the payment by Purchaser and shall provide necessary and appropriate legal application of such payments which shall include, but not be limited to, endorsement of such payment to Purchaser or equivalent substitute payment with the particulars of the payment such as the account number, dollar amount, date received and any special Obligor application instructions.

Purchaser shall be liable for all Taxes on the related Mortgaged Properties accruing after the Cut-off Date. Taxes paid by Seller (other than from an Escrow Balance) prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to periods that extend beyond the Cut-off Date shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Cut-off Date. If any Loan has a positive Escrow Balance after the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer such Escrow Balance to Purchaser. Within ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser’s delivery to Seller of a Tax Adjustment Request (defined herein), Seller shall pay to Purchaser any adjustments of the Taxes requested therein. A “Tax Adjustment Request” is a written request by Purchaser to Seller with a calculation of the Tax adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(b)(xi) and a request for Seller to pay the Tax adjustment amount.

(C) If a misapplied payment which occurred after the Cut-off Date but prior to the Servicing Transfer Date cannot be identified and said misapplied payment has resulted in a shortage in a custodial account or Escrow Balance, Seller shall be liable for the amount of such shortage. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such shortage within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written demand therefor from Purchaser;

(D) If a misapplied payment which occurred prior to the Servicing Transfer Date has created an incorrect Purchase Price as the result of an inaccurate outstanding principal balance, a check shall be issued to the party disadvantaged by the incorrect payment application within ten (10) Business Days after notice therefor by the other party; and

(E) Any check issued hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement indicating the Seller and/or Purchaser Asset identification number and an explanation of the allocation of any such payments.

If Seller fails to substitute Purchaser’s attorney for Seller’s attorney or to remove Seller as a party in interest, then Seller shall pay continued legal expenses in such litigation until such time as the substitution is effected. In no event shall Purchaser be liable for any contingency arrangements of Seller with Seller’s attorneys.
