Except as the Mortgage File may reflect, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

As of the date the Mortgage Loan was purchased by the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there was no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;

(xiv)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(xxii)

With respect to any Mortgage Loan with an original Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80%, the Mortgage Loan will be insured by a primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy, issued by an insurer which meets the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All provisions of such primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.

The representations and warranties contained in Section 6 shall not be impaired by any review and examination of the Mortgage Files or other documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty was inaccurate as of the date such representation and warranty was made or deemed to be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack of knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material document was not transferred by the Seller (as listed on the related Custodian’s preliminary exception reports, as described in the related Custodial Agreement , as part of any Mortgage File or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the Seller. Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that was not transferred by the Seller as described above, or of materially defective documentation, or within sixty (60) days of any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such defect or breach, the Seller shall, within ninety (90) days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any such missing or materially defective documentation or within ninety (90) days of any such breach of a representation and warranty, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Substitute Loans. The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the representation made by the Seller in Section 6(xxiv) of this Agreement is breached, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, enforce the obligation of the Seller to repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price, or to provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by any such Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law) within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such breach. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment.

(c)

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 7 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan (and to make payments pursuant to Section 7(b)) constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.

(d)

Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser or DBSI may reasonably request.

SECTION 10.

Costs.

(“Nat City”), PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (“SPS”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx Fargo”), as applicable, on behalf of the Trust, pursuant to separate servicing agreements identified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and assigned to the Purchaser on the Closing Date and the Seller has represented to the Purchaser that such Mortgage Loans are not subject to any other servicing agreements with third parties (other than the servicing agreements with AHM, CHLS, GMAC, GreenPoint, Indymac, Nat City, PHH, SPS and Xxxxx Fargo). It is understood and agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans are to be delivered free and clear of any servicing agreements (other than the servicing agreements with AHM, CHLS, GMAC, GreenPoint, Indymac, Nat City, PHH, SPS and Xxxxx Fargo). Neither the Purchaser nor any affiliate of the Purchaser is servicing the Mortgage Loans under any such servicing agreement and, accordingly, neither the Purchaser nor any affiliate of the Purchaser is entitled to receive any fee for releasing the Mortgage Loans from any such servicing agreement.

The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Closing Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been satisfied and satisfaction of such condition shall not have been waived and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been released.

SECTION 13.

Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, fax: (000) 000-0000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; and if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, fax: (000) 000-0000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, or to such other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.

SECTION 14.

Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

SECTION 15.

Agreement of Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 16.

Survival. The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

SECTION 17.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 18.

Miscellaneous. 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. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Protected Accounts established by the Servicers of the related Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the owner thereof, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. 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 this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 19.

Third Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that DBSI and each of its respective successors and assigns shall have all the rights of a third-party beneficiary in respect of Section 12 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement.
