6
Section

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

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 Class 1A-1,
Class 2A-1, Class 3A-1 and Class 3A-2 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. 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 hereof. 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. 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 hereof, 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 and Servicing Agreement. 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 Agreements for the purpose
of
selling them to the 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the
provisions of Article V hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans
hereunder.

The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including with respect
to
provisions relating to any Additional Collateral (if applicable))
have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except
by
written instruments which have been recorded, if necessary to protect
the
interests of the Trust, and which are included in the Mortgage File,
the
substance of which waiver, alteration or modification has been approved
by
the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer,
in each instance to the extent required by the related policy and
is
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except for any modification
agreement or similar document contained in the Mortgage File permitting
a
borrower to modify his Mortgage Loan, no instrument of waiver, alteration
or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released,
in
whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement
approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and title insurer,
in
each instance to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage

The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (including with respect to provisions
relating to any Additional Collateral (if applicable)) are not subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the
defense of usury, and to the Seller’s knowledge no such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto.

All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally
acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and
such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located. All such insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer,
their successors and assigns as mortgagee and to Seller’s knowledge all
premiums thereon have been paid. If upon origination of the Mortgage
Loan,
the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards
(and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal
Insurance Administration is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s
cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the
holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost
and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor.
