limitation, the documents required to be delivered under Section 2.01(a) of the

Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person

warranties in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Seller hereby agrees to continue to pay on behalf of the Company
and its successors and assignees, promptly as they become due, any lender-paid
primary mortgage insurance premiums ("LPMI Premiums") with respect to any
lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy (an "LPMI Policy") on each
Mortgage Loan so insured as of the Cut-Off Date, until such Mortgage Loan has

LPMI Policies (the "LPMI Insurers") and the rating agencies rating the
Certificates undertakes to pay such LPMI Premiums, or (ii) the Seller pays

within 60 days after the date of notice thereof from the Trustee or the Company,
at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In addition, the Seller hereby agrees
to reimburse the Company for any Reimbursement Amount. Alternatively, the Seller
hereby agrees, if so requested by the Company to substitute for any such
Mortgage Loan, a new mortgage loan having characteristics such that the

Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. The Seller shall remit to the

substitute mortgage loan.
(b) In the event that the Seller has a right against the originator
or former owner of a Mortgage Loan (the "Prior Holder") for breach of a
representation or warranty regarding the characteristics of such Mortgage Loan

Seller's rights in respect of the Prior Holder consist of a claim for indemnity
or (ii) transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Prior Holder at a price not less than
that paid by the Seller to the Company.

information, documents, certificates, letters or opinions with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, reasonably requested by the Company in order to perform any of
its obligations or satisfy any of the conditions on its part to be performed or
satisfied pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or the Purchase Agreement at or

10. Trustee Beneficiary. The representations, warranties and
agreements made by the Seller in this Agreement are made for the benefit of, and
may be enforced by, the Trustee and the holders of Certificates to the same
extent that the Trustee and the holders of Certificates, respectively, have
rights against the Company under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect
of representations, warranties and agreements made by the Company therein.
11. Recharacterization. The parties hereto intend the conveyance by
the Seller to the Company of all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement to constitute a purchase and sale and
not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such conveyance is
held not to constitute a sale under applicable law, it is intended that this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that
the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Company a first priority
security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans.
12. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Neither this Agreement nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. This Agreement may not be changed in any
manner which would have a material adverse effect on holders of Certificates
without the prior written consent of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected
in consenting to any such change to the same extent provided in Article VIII of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Agreement may be signed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall bind and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and the Seller and
their respective successors and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Seller have caused this Agreement
to be duly executed by their respective officers as of the day and year first
above written.
