Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan for the related Home Loan upon the same

System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller's own expense, within 30 Business Days after

Indenture, unless and until such Home Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Note or assignment in blank, the Seller shall, or shall cause the Custodian to, complete the endorsement of the
Mortgage Note and the assignment in conjunction with the Interim Certification issued by the Custodian.

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.
(d) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein 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, 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, including without limitation the filing of all necessary UCC-1
financing statements filed in the State of Delaware (which shall have been submitted for filing within 10 days
following the Closing Date), any continuation statements with respect thereto and any amendments thereto required
to reflect a change in the name or legal structure of the Seller or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing
statements due to the change in the principal office or jurisdiction of organization of the Seller, as are
necessary to perfect and protect the Purchaser's interests in each Home Loan and the proceeds thereof.

equal to $257,532,198 in immediately available funds, together with the Certificates.

Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of a breach of any representation or warranty in

Enhancer in any Home Loan, the Seller shall, within 45 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such
breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with
respect to a Home Loan or a Related Document, either (A) repurchase such Home Loan from the Trust at the

manner and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below.
(c) Upon discovery by the Seller or upon notice from the Purchaser, the Credit Enhancer, the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of a breach of any representation or
warranty in clause (b) above with respect to any Home Loan or upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Credit Enhancer or of the Purchaser
in such Home Loan (notice of which shall be given to the Purchaser by the Seller, if it discovers the same),
notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty
or Repurchase Event, the Seller shall, within 90 days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice
thereof, either cure such breach or Repurchase Event in all material respects or 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 repurchase or substitute a Home Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.1 was the 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 directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Trust thereafter, concurrently with such
payment. The Repurchase Price for any such Home Loan repurchased by the Seller and any amounts paid by the Seller
in connection with the preceding sentence shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Servicing Agreement.
The Seller may only substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.1(c) if the Seller obtains an Opinion of 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 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.
ARTICLE IV
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 Home Loan, or any interest therein. The Seller will notify the Indenture Trustee in
writing, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence of any Lien (other 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 local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges
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.
ARTICLE V
SERVICING
Section 5.1. Servicing. The Seller will service the Home Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Servicing Agreement and will service the Home Loans directly or through one or more subservicers in

Section 6.1. Limitation on Liability of the Seller. None of the directors, 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 waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution 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
TERMINATION
Section 7.1. Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser
created hereby shall terminate, except for the Seller's indemnity obligations as provided herein, upon the

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 8.1. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser

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 delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid,

Agreement.
Section 8.5. Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a

Section 8.7. Further Agreements. The Purchaser and the Seller each agree 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
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed to this Home Loan
Purchase Agreement by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above
written.

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.
