Custodial File is discovered which may materially and adversely affect the value
of the related Home Loan, or the interests of the Indenture Trustee (as pledgee
of the Home Loans), the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or the Credit
Enhancer in such Home Loan, including the Seller's failure to deliver any
document required to be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture

assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller shall cause
such assignment to be recorded in accordance with this paragraph. In connection
with the assignment of any Home Loan registered on the MERS(R) System, the
Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller's own expense, within 30

the Trust Agreement and by the Trust, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit
of the Noteholders, pursuant to the Indenture, by including (or deleting, in the
case of Home Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific
Trust and

issued in connection with such Home Loans. The Seller further agrees that it
will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to alter the codes referenced
in this paragraph with respect to any Home Loan during the term of this
Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, unless and until such Home
Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Indenture Trustee any Mortgage Note or assignment in blank, the Seller shall, or
shall cause the Custodian to, complete the endorsement of the Mortgage Note and

assignment of Mortgage was not, in accordance with clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or
(v) above (or copies thereof as permitted in this Section 2.1(c) above),
delivered by the Seller to the respective Custodian prior to or concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will deliver or
cause to be delivered the originals of such documents to such Custodian promptly
upon receipt thereof.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest to the property, conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.1.

constitute a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all the Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Home Loans and other property as and to the
extent described above. In the event the transactions set forth herein are
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 (i)
the Home Loans, all interest accruing thereon and all collections in respect
thereof received on or after the Cut-off Date; (ii) property which secured a
Home Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure; (iii) the interest of the Seller in any insurance policies in
respect of the Home Loans; and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing, and such
other property, to secure all of the Seller's obligations hereunder, and this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller
agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and to execute such documents,

statements filed in the State of Delaware (which shall have been submitted for
filing within 10 days following the Closing Date), any continuation statements

either (i) repurchase such Home Loan from the Trust at the Repurchase Price, or
(ii) substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Loans for such Home Loan, in
each case in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth below. If the
breach of representation and warranty that gave rise to the obligation to

representation and warranty set forth in clause (x) of Section 3.1(b), then the
Seller shall pay, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in
the preceding sentence, an amount equal to any liability, penalty or expense
that was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust, and that

Counsel generally to the effect that the substitution of an Eligible Substitute
Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan will not cause an entity level federal or state
income tax to be imposed on the Trust. The Seller shall also deliver to the
Custodian on behalf of the Trust, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Loan
or Loans, the original Mortgage Note and all other documents and agreements as
are required by Section 2.1(c), with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by
Section 2.1(c). No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and
will be retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to
the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date, provided that a payment at least
equal to the applicable Monthly Payment has been received by the Trust, for such
month in respect of the
-10-
Deleted Loan. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Custodial
Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will include the Monthly Payment due
on a Deleted Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to
retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Master Servicer
shall amend or cause to be amended the Home Loan Schedule to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Loan or
Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Home Loan Schedule to
the Indenture Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Loan or
Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement in all respects, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties (other than any statistical representation or
warranty) with respect to the Eligible Substitute Loan set forth in Section
3.1(b) as of the date of substitution, and the Seller shall be obligated to
repurchase or substitute for any Eligible Substitute Loan as to which a
Repurchase Event has occurred as provided herein. In connection with the
substitution of one or more Eligible Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted
Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (such amount, a
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Eligible Substitute Loans as of the date of substitution is
less than the aggregate principal balance of all such Deleted Loans (after
application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of
substitution that are to be distributed to the Custodial Account in the month of
substitution). The Seller shall deposit the amount of such shortfall into the
Custodial Account on the day of substitution, without any reimbursement
therefor.
Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the
Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the deposit
of such Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an Eligible Substitute Loan
(together with the related Mortgage File) and deposit of any applicable
Substitution Adjustment Amount as provided above, the Master Servicer (or an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer) or the Custodian, as the case may be, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall release the contents of any related
Mortgage File in its possession for the Home Loan being repurchased or
substituted for and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, upon
written direction from the Master Servicer, execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee such Home
Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Home Loan shall not be an
asset of the Trust.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure any
breach, or to repurchase or substitute for, any Home Loan as to which such a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Purchaser, the Issuer, the
Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders)
and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders)
against the Seller.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial
Files to the Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian.

SELLER'S COVENANTS
Section 4.1. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants that,
except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or
transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur or assume any Lien on any

than as provided above) on any Home Loan immediately upon discovery thereof; and
the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer, as assignee
of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Home Loans against all claims of third
parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to apply to any Liens for municipal or other

shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be
contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the
Purchaser, it being expressly understood that all such liability is expressly

of this Agreement. Except as and to the extent expressly provided herein or in
the Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall not be under any liability to the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders. The
Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
ARTICLE VII

withheld.
Section 8.2. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD
TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402
OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.
Section 8.3. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally

to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or
agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.
Section 8.8. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties
that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Home Loans,
rather than a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller secured by the Home Loans.
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 Home Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Home Loans and
the Related Documents to determine the characteristics of the Home Loans which
will affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Home Loans and the
Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the
course of such review.
Section 8.9. Successors and Assigns; Assignment of This Agreement. This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller, Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. The obligations
of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third
party without the consent of the Credit Enhancer (so long as no Credit Enhancer
Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Purchaser, which consent shall
be at the Credit Enhancer's and the Purchaser's sole discretion, except that the
Credit Enhancer and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Seller may
assign its obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of the Seller, to any Person
succeeding to the business of the Seller, to any Person into which the Seller is
merged and to any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Seller is a party. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
Purchaser is acquiring the Home Loans for the purpose of contributing them to
the Issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Issuer will issue
and transfer to or at the direction of the Purchaser, the Certificates and
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer will issue and transfer to or
at the direction of the Purchaser, the Notes secured by the Home Loans. As an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Home Loans, the Seller acknowledges
and consents to (i) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Issuer of all of the
Purchaser's rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such
rights relate to Home Loans transferred to the Issuer and to the enforcement or
exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by
the Issuer, (ii) the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the
Seller pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the Issuer and (iii) the
Issuer's pledge of its interest in this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee and
the enforcement by the Indenture Trustee of any such right or remedy against the
Seller following an Event of Default under the Indenture. Such enforcement of a
right or remedy by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, shall
-14-
have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or
exercised by the Purchaser directly.
Section 8.10. Survival. The representations and warranties made herein by
the Seller and the provisions of Article VI hereof shall survive the purchase of
the Home Loans hereunder.

APPENDIX E OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S GLOSSARY FOR FILE FORMAT
FOR LEVELS(R) VERSION 5.7
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws
in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and
tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.
