in default under any material provisions of any agreement, contract, instrument

Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g) Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,

commission or compensation in connection with the transfer and contribution of

statement, notice, schedule, certificate, report or other document furnished by
or to the best of Seller's knowledge, on behalf of Seller pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and upon
which the Buyer has reasonably relied contains any untrue statement of material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading. Since the furnishing of such items, except as
set forth on the Loan Schedule, there has been no material change which would
render the information set forth in any of such items untrue or misleading in a
material respect.
(l) Immediately prior to transfer of the Loans to the Buyer,
Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, the Loans free and clear of
all liens, other than liens for which Seller has obtained an executed release of
lien. Except for the Buyer, no Person other than Seller has any interest in the
Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise. Immediately upon
the transfer thereof, the Buyer will have good title to each of the Loans, free
and clear of all liens.
(m) All of the Loans were originated in the United States, in
a state where Seller is qualified to transact such business in the ordinary
course of its business, except to the extent that any failure to be so qualified
would not materially and adversely affect the Loans or the Mortgages or the
transfer thereof or the enforceability of the Obligor's obligations thereunder.
None of the Loans have been originated in, nor are such Loans subject to the
laws
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 4
of, any jurisdiction under which the transfer and assignment of Loans to Buyer
would be unlawful, void or voidable.
(n) The information set forth in the Loan Schedule is true and
correct in all material respects.
(o) The terms of all of the Underlying Notes and the Mortgages
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
written instruments, executed in accordance with the customary credit policies
of Seller, which are reflected on the Loan Schedule. No Obligor has been
released, in whole or in part, except pursuant to the terms of an assumption
agreement which is part of the related Loan File and the terms of which are
reflected in the Loan Schedule.
(p) None of the Underlying Notes or the related Mortgages by
their respective terms are subject to any right of rescission, setoff,
abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Underlying Notes or the
Mortgages, or the exercise of any right thereunder in accordance with the terms
thereof, render the Mortgages unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, setoff, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff,
abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto.
(q) None of the Mortgages have been satisfied, canceled or
subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and, except as reflected on the
Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Properties have not been released from the lien of
the Mortgages, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
(r) All of the Underlying Notes and the Mortgages delivered to
the Buyer, or its designee, are genuine originals (except where certified copies
of the Mortgages have been delivered in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii) hereof)
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(s) There has been no fraud, dishonesty, misrepresentation or
negligence on the part of Seller or, to such Seller's knowledge, the originator
or Obligor in connection with the origination of any Loan or in connection with
the transfer and contribution of such Loan to the Buyer.
(t) There is no material default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration existing under any of the Mortgages or the Underlying Notes and
no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of
any grace or cure period, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration, and since the Cut-Off Date Seller has not waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(u) All of the Underlying Notes and the Mortgages comply with
all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

with any and all applicable requirements of any applicable federal, state or
local law, including, without limitation, usury,
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 5
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws. To such Seller's knowledge, each
Mortgaged Property is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants and restrictions affecting the
construction, occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property. To such
Seller's knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates required,
including certificates of occupancy, whether by law, ordinance, regulation or
insurance standards to be made or issued with regard to each of the Mortgaged
Properties, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
(v) No Loan is a 30-Day Delinquent Loan.
(w) Seller has not advanced funds or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the
Mortgaged Property subject to each of the Mortgages, directly or indirectly, for
the payment of any amount required by the respective Loans.
(x) To Seller's knowledge, there are no delinquent taxes,
ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments (including assessments
payable in future installments) or other outstanding charges affecting any of
the related Mortgaged Properties.
(y) All of the Mortgaged Properties are located in the state
indicated on the Loan Schedule, and, except as reflected on the Loan Schedule,
consist of a single parcel of real property. All of the Mortgaged Properties are
in good repair, are free of damage and waste that would materially and adversely
affect their value and such Mortgaged Properties have not been materially
damaged by fire, wind or other cause, which damage has not been fully repaired
or for which insurance proceeds have not been received or are not expected to be
received in an amount sufficient to pay for such repairs.
(z) All of the Mortgages are valid, subsisting and enforceable
first liens on the related Mortgaged Properties, including all buildings on the
Mortgaged Properties and all fixtures related thereto, and all additions,
alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing,
except as reflected on the Loan Schedule. Such lien is subject only to (i) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable,
(ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights-of-way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording, none of which
individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgages or the operation and use of
the related Mortgaged Properties, and (iii) 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 Mortgages or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Properties. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on
the property described therein, except as reflected on the Loan Schedule. Except
as reflected on the Loan Schedule, the Underlying Notes are not secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in
this paragraph.
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 6
(aa) Each of the Mortgages contain provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the
event the related Mortgaged Properties are sold without the prior consent of the
Mortgagees thereunder.
(bb) There is no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation of any of the Mortgaged Properties.
(cc) Each of the Mortgages contain customary provisions such
as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Properties 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 or power
of sale.
(dd) In the event any of the Mortgages constitute a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Buyer or its assignees to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the Obligor.
(ee) Each of the Loans are Eligible Loans as of the Closing
Date.
(ff) The form of endorsement of each Underlying Note satisfies
the requirement, if any, of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title
and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in
and to that Underlying Note, and each form of assignment will be in recordable
form and will be sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to the
assignee thereof, all right, title and interest under each Mortgage to which
that assignment relates.
(gg) All escrow deposits, if any, and other payments relating
to each Loan have been delivered to the Buyer or applicable servicer or its
agent, and all amounts required to be deposited by Seller or the related Obligor
have been deposited with the Buyer or the applicable servicer or its agent and
there are no deficiencies with regard thereto.
(hh) To Seller's knowledge, each of the Obligors has good
title to the related Mortgaged Properties.
(ii) The lien of each Mortgage is insured by an ALTA lender's
title insurance policy (or a binding commitment) or its equivalent, as adopted
in the applicable jurisdiction. Except as reflected on the Loan Schedule, the
policy (or such binding commitment) insures the originator of such Loan, its
successors and assigns, as to the first-priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount after all advances of principal, subject only to
permitted encumbrances, none of which, individually or in the aggregate should
interfere with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or materially detract
from the benefit of the first-priority (except as reflected on the Loan
Schedule) lien of the Mortgage. The originator of such Loan (including its
successors and assigns) is the sole named insured of the policy (or such binding
commitment), and the policy (or such binding commitment) is assignable to the
trustee without the consent of or any notification to the insurer. No claims
have been made under such policy (or such binding
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 7
commitment), and Seller has no knowledge of any matter that would impair or
diminish the coverage of such policy.
(jj) Each Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance policies
providing coverage against loss or damage sustained by (i) fire and extended
perils included within the classification "All Risk of Physical Loss" in an
amount sufficient to prevent the Obligor from being deemed a co-insurer, and to
provide coverage of replacement or actual cost, consistent with industry
standards; and the policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
mortgagee and its successors as loss payees; (ii) flood insurance (if any
portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special hazards); and (iii)
comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts as are generally required
by commercial mortgage lenders. The insurance policies contain clauses providing
they are not terminable and may not be reduced without ten (10) days prior
written notice to the mortgagee, and all premiums due and payable through the
Closing Date have been made. No notice of termination or cancellation with
respect to any such policies has been received by Seller which remains
effective. Each of the Mortgages obligate the Obligor to maintain all such
insurance at its cost and expense, and on the Obligor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of each of the Mortgages to maintain such insurance and to
obtain reimbursement therefor from the Obligor.
SECTION 6. TAKEOUT OBLIGATION. (a) Seller and the Buyer shall give
written notice to each other promptly after discovery of (i) a breach of any of
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 or (ii) any defect in
any document or documents constituting a part of a Loan File. For purposes of
this Section 6, any Loan (or the related REO Property) with respect to which
either a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5 exists
or any defect in any document or documents constituting a part of the related
Loan File exists is referred to as a "Defective Loan."
(b) Within thirty (30) days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of any breach or defect the Seller shall, at its option, (i) promptly
cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or (ii) purchase the
affected Loan at a price equal to the Takeout Price. If the breach or defect has
not been cured within thirty (30) days after such discovery or receipt of
notice, Seller must purchase the Defective Loan within one Business Day for an
amount equal to the Takeout Price.
SECTION 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER. The Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
(a) The Buyer is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has full power to own its
property, to carry on its business as presently conducted, and to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The execution and delivery by the Buyer of this Agreement
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Buyer.
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 8
(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Buyer, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor
compliance by the Buyer with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result
in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the
charter of the Buyer or conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or
constitute a default under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer is bound, or any
statute, order or regulation applicable to the Buyer of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Buyer.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do
not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state,
federal or other governmental authority or agency.
(e) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Buyer and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy and
insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights
of creditors generally and general principles of equity).
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Buyer and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents
(the "Buyer Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Buyer Indemnified Persons may
become subject, under the U. S. federal securities laws, the Agreement, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.) or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 5 hereof, and (ii) will
reimburse Buyer Indemnified Persons for any legal or other expense reasonably
incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Agreement of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor under
this Agreement, notify the indemnitor of the commencement thereof. The omission
so to notify the indemnitor will not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement, except to the
extent the defense of any such action is prejudiced by the failure of the
indemnified party to provide notice. If any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnitor of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent
that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party (which counsel shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified
party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred
PURCHASE AGREEMENT - PAGE 9
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation.

at such other addresses as the parties hereto may designate in writing to each
other party hereto. All such notices and other communications shall be in
writing and effective upon receipt, except when telecopied, in which case, such
communication shall be effective upon telecopy against receipt of answer back or
written confirmation thereof.
SECTION 10. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any
other provision hereof.

such agreements, instruments, documents and certificates, and to take such
actions, as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose
and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

contained in Section 5 shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full
force and effect, notwithstanding that Buyer or any Person has conducted or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Loan Files.
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAWS.
SECTION 14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
