(i) | Each Initial Receivable and Additional Receivable is payable in United States dollars and has been created pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the Seller’s customary procedures with respect to the applicable Securitization Trust and in the ordinary course of business of the Seller. | ||
(ii) | The sale and/or contribution to the Depositor and the Issuer of the rights to reimbursement for the Advances and |
13
Servicing Advances under each Securitization Trust, and the assignment and Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee, does not violate the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other document or agreements to which the Seller is a party or to which its assets or properties are subject. | |||
(iii) | No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Depositor. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller was the sole owner with respect to each such Receivable, and had the right to transfer and sell such Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Issuer shall own all of such interest in and to such Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others (other than the Lien created by the Indenture). | ||
(iv) | As of the date of conveyance thereof, the Seller has not taken any action that, or failed to take any action the omission of which, would materially impair the rights of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (or any Secured Party) with respect to any such Receivable. | ||
(v) | As of the date of conveyance thereof, no such Receivable has been identified by the Seller or reported to the Seller as having resulted from fraud perpetrated by any Person with respect to such Receivable. | ||

(vii) | No Receivable is secured by “real property” or “fixtures” or evidenced by an “instrument” as such quoted terms are used for purposes of creating and perfecting a security interest under the Relevant UCC. | ||
(viii) | Each such Receivable is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Securitization Trust and is |
14
enforceable in accordance with its terms. There is no valid and enforceable offset, defense or counterclaim to the obligation of the related Securitization Trust to make payment of any such Receivable. | |||
(ix) | Each such Receivable is entitled to be paid, has not been repaid in whole or been compromised, adjusted (except by partial payment), extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, amended or modified, and is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, set-off, counterclaim, defense, amendment or modification by the Seller. | ||

(xv) | As of the date of conveyance thereof, no Receivable is an obligation of a Securitization Trust for which a Securitization Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. | ||
(xvi) | The principal amount of any Additional Receivable relating to a Servicing Advance or Loan-Level Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Receivables relating to Servicing Advances and Loan-Level Advances under the related Securitization Trust, does not cause the weighted average months outstanding with respect to all such Receivables to exceed 16 months. | ||
(xvii) | The principal amount of any Additional Receivable, when added to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Receivables under the related Securitization Trust, does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all such Receivables to exceed 15% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Receivables. | ||

ARTICLE VII.
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 7.01. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each
transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale or
contribution, or a combination thereof, of the related Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor
and from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the
Seller’s or the Depositor’s estate or otherwise be considered property of the Seller or the
Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or
similar proceeding relating to the Seller or the Depositor or any of their property. Except as set
forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be
deemed to have been pledged by the Seller to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller or the Depositor. In the event
that (A) the transfers of Receivables by the Depositor or the Issuer are deemed by a court or
applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of
the parties to constitute pledges rather than sales or contributions, or a combination thereof, of
the Receivables, or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any
Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or the Depositor or loans to the Seller or the
Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some
other similar arrangement or agreement, then: (i) this Agreement is and shall be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC; (ii) the Issuer shall be
treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the
Receivables transferred and assigned to the Issuer hereunder; (iii) the agreement of the Seller and
the Depositor hereunder to sell, assign, convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by
the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer of, and the Seller does hereby grant
to the Depositor and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Issuer, a security interest in all of
the Seller’s and Depositor’s property and right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Aggregate Receivables,
together with (A) all amounts payable now or in the future by or with respect to the Receivables
and (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the
foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from
time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of
the Seller, by or on behalf of the Securitization Trusts or by the Depositor, whether in the
form of cash, instruments, securities or other property (the “Receivables Related Collateral”). The
possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other
items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, in each
case,
17
which constitute any of the items described in the foregoing sentence, or proceeds thereof,
shall be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by
such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC
of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law.
Section 7.02. Security Interest.
(a) The Seller 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 (i) any
of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect
to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the other
property described above, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
The Seller shall execute such documents and instruments as the Depositor may reasonably request
from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall return to the Depositor the
executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Depositor shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense
of the Seller, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Depositor’s security interest described above,
including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may
be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller or the Depositor (such preparation and filing
shall be at the expense of the Depositor, if occasioned by a change in such party’s name) or (2)
any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller.
(b) The Depositor 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 (i)
any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with
respect to the Securitization Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate Receivables or (iii) the
other property described above, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement. At the Issuer’s direction, the Depositor shall execute such documents and instruments as
the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the foregoing and shall
return to the Issuer the executed copy of such documents and instruments. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded
for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of
any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer’s security interest
described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation statements and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Depositor or the Issuer (such
preparation and filing shall be at
18
the expense of the Issuer, if occasioned by a change in such
party’s name) or (2) any change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Depositor.

Section 9.06. Transfer of Servicing. The Seller covenants that it shall not

to be terminated; provided, however, that the Seller may transfer its rights as Servicer under the

option to redeem the Notes, without penalty or premium, in accordance with Section 2.16 of the
Indenture, and (y) with respect to the covenant set forth above, the Seller shall be fully liable

the Seller shall provide a full recourse guaranty to the Noteholders, secured by a pledge of all of
the Seller’s rights (but none of its obligations)
23
as Servicer under each of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that such pledge shall be given only to the extent that
such servicing rights can be so pledged pursuant to the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreements

pursuant to this Section 9.06, the Seller shall, on the fourth Business Day prior to the applicable
Redemption Date, deposit the Note Redemption Amount into the Note Payment Account.
Section 9.07. Bankruptcy. The Seller shall not take any action in any capacity to file any

or marshaling of assets or liabilities or similar proceedings. The Depositor shall not take any
action in any capacity to file any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings against the
Issuer, or cause the Issuer to commence any reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
under any applicable state or federal law, including without limitation any readjustment of debt,
or marshaling of assets or liabilities or similar proceedings. The Seller and the Depositor are not

any Person.
Section 9.08. Legal Existence. The Seller and the Depositor shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary on their part to preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence as
corporations, and to maintain each of their licenses, approvals, registrations or qualifications in
all jurisdictions in which their ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their business
requires such licenses, approvals, registrations or qualifications; except for failures to maintain
any such licenses, approvals, registrations or qualifications which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Seller, or the Depositor,
as applicable.
Section 9.09. Compliance With Laws. The Seller and the Depositor shall comply with all laws,
rules and regulations and orders of any governmental authority applicable to the Seller and the
Depositor, except where the failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect

Section 9.10. Taxes. The Seller and the Depositor shall pay and discharge all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Seller and the Depositor, as
applicable, or upon such party’s income and profits, or upon any of such
party’s property or any part thereof, before the same shall become in default; provided, that
the Seller and the Depositor shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and the Seller and the Depositor shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so contested, or so long as the
failure to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Seller, or the Depositor, as
applicable.
24
Section 9.11. No Liens, Etc. Against Receivables and Trust Property. Each of the Seller and
the Depositor hereby covenants and agrees not to create or suffer to exist (by operation of law or
otherwise) any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Aggregate Receivables or any of its interest
therein, if any, or upon or with respect to any of its interest in any Account, or assign any right
to receive income in respect thereof, except for the Lien created by the Indenture. Each of the
Seller and the Depositor shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee of the existence of any
Lien on any of the Aggregate Receivables and shall defend the right, title and interest of each of
the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Aggregate Receivables,
against all claims of third parties.
Section 9.12. Amendments to Pooling and Servicing Agreements. The Seller, in its capacity as

hereby covenants and agrees not to amend or agree to the amendment of any of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreements without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Noteholders.
Section 9.13. No Netting or Offsetting. The Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, shall
collect and deposit gross collections with respect to the Securitization Trusts into the related
Collection Accounts in accordance with the related Pooling and Servicing Agreements, without
netting, off-set or deduction from such collections or deposits for any purpose, with the exception
of Servicing Compensation due and payable to the Servicer. The Seller shall make all Advances and
Servicing Advances out of its own funds without the utilization of any netting or offsetting of
amounts in any account of the Securitization Trust, except as permitted under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreements with respect to amounts paid ahead by Obligors (or such substantially similar
term as is used in each such Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The Seller shall repay any amounts
borrowed with respect to amounts paid ahead by Obligors (or such substantially similar term as is
used in each such Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreements.
Section 9.14. Books and Records. The Seller shall maintain accounts and records as to each
Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at any time the
status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the
nature of each, if applicable). The Seller shall maintain its computer records so that, from and
after the time of the granting of the security interest under the Indenture on the Receivables to
the Indenture Trustee, the Seller’s master computer records (including any back-up archives) that
refer to any Receivables indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that
the Receivable is owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured
Parties.
The Depositor shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) accounts and records as to each
Aggregate Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit the reader thereof to know at
any time the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that the Receivable is
owned by the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.
25
Section 9.15. Verification Agent. Each of the Seller and the Depositor shall cooperate with
the Verification Agent and shall allow the Verification Agent access to its books, records,
computer system and employees during ordinary business hours upon reasonable notice and, subject to
the terms of the Verification Agent Letter, shall allow the Verification Agent to review all
collections and to make copies of any books, records and documents requested by the Verification
Agent, but solely to the extent such items and review relate to the Aggregate Receivables and the
obligations of the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor under the Transaction Documents and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreements for the Securitization Trusts.
Section 9.16. Exclusive. The Initial Receivables to be sold and/or contributed to the
Depositor and from the Depositor to the Issuer on the Initial Funding Date shall consist of the
right to reimbursement for all of the Advances and Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to
the Securitization Trusts as of the Initial Funding Date. During the Funding Period, the Seller
shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or convey any Receivable with respect to the
Securitization Trusts to any Person other than the Depositor. The Additional Receivables sold
and/or contributed on each Funding Date shall consist of the right to reimbursement for all of the
Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to the Securitization Trusts not previously sold and
contributed to the Depositor hereunder (other than Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant
to Section 6.02).
Section 9.17. Recovery. The Seller shall diligently endeavor to collect reimbursement of
Aggregate Receivables and shall not waive or forgive the obligation of a mortgagor to pay such
amounts.

wind up or dissolution).

Initial Receivables and Additional Receivables for general corporate purposes.

INDEMNIFICATION
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.01. Indemnification.
(a) Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under
applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party (as defined below)
from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (as defined below) which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to any
breach of the Seller’s or the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, or the ownership of the Aggregate Receivables or in respect of any Aggregate Receivables,
26
excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each
Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and
against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting
from:
(i) | a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller under or in connection with this Agreement; | ||
(ii) | the failure by the Seller or the Servicer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any agreement executed by it in connection with this Agreement or with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Aggregate Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Aggregate Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; or | ||
(iii) | the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Issuer, or to transfer, to the Issuer, ownership of the Aggregate Receivables, together with all collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter or the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Indenture Trustee the perfection of the security interest in the in the Aggregate Receivables free and clear of any adverse claim (except as permitted hereunder), whether existing at the time of the transfer of such Aggregate Receivable or at any time thereafter. |
(b) Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01
shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following demand therefor.
“Indemnified Party” means any of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Agent, the Note Purchasers and the Secured Parties and their officers, employees,
directors and successors or assigns. “Indemnified Amounts” means any and all claims, losses,
liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related reasonable
costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (subject to the following paragraph), incurred by an Indemnified Party.
(c) Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or other first
legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an
indemnity may be claimed against the Seller under this Section 10.01, the Indemnified Party shall
notify the Seller in writing of the service of
27
such summons, other legal process or written
notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, and providing a copy
thereof; provided, however, that failure so to notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller from
any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the Seller is
prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Seller. The Seller will be entitled, at its own
expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in
any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller, and the Indemnified Party (upon
the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, or one or more
Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to create a
conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Seller and such Indemnified Party.
Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller in the defense of any such action or claim.
The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified
Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened
proceeding.
