ARTICLE II

SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.01. Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Servicing Agreement. The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-off Date Principal Balance, all interest due thereon after the Cut-off Date and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date (and all principal received before the Cut-off Date to the extent such principal relates to a Monthly Payment due after the Cut-off Date); (ii) property which secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans and (iv) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Servicing Agreement and the Letter Agreement to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all such rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Letter Agreement as if the Purchaser had been a party to each agreement.

Section 2.02. Obligations of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In connection with the transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date, the information required to be set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Pooling Agreement, shall also be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

In connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of the Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee (or a custodian as its designated agent), as assignee of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling Agreement including, but not limited to, the Servicing Agreement.

The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee as assignee of the Purchaser, or a custodian appointed pursuant to the Pooling Agreement to act on behalf of the Trustee, and that the Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling Agreement.

2

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, and its rights under the Servicing Agreement and the Letter Agreement, now existing or hereafter created, conveyed to it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a non-recourse sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether now existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Pooling Agreement.

Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the Closing Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $2,958,462,507.53 (which amount includes accrued interest) and to transfer to the Seller or its designees on the Closing Date the Class C, Class P and Class R Certificates (the “Purchase Price”). The Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, including, without limitation, printing fees incurred in connection with the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Certificates, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees of the rating agencies requested to rate the Certificates, accountant’s fees and expenses, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and other out-of-pocket costs, if any.

ARTICLE VI

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 7.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

Section 7.02. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Section 7.03. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

if to the Seller:

Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc.

000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000

Attention: Legal Department

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser.

Section 7.04. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

6

Section 7.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 7.06. Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in the Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates. In that connection, the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.

Section 7.07. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

Section 7.08. Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans and the rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Letter Agreement for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue the Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.

7

Section 7.09. Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.

Section 7.10. Third-Party Beneficiary. Ambac Assurance Corporation is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
