The Seller from time to time shall provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a preliminary listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date in accordance with the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement and this Agreement (each, a “Preliminary Mortgage Schedule”).

The Seller is obligated to deliver those Mortgage Loans owned by the Seller pursuant to the original terms of the Seller’s commitment to the Mortgagor.

SECTION 4. Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement (subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans, after application of scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date, whether or not collected.

The

foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that (i) the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller, confirming that such documents have been delivered for recording, (upon request of the Purchaser and delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of a schedule of the related Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall reissue and deliver to the Purchaser or its designee said officer’s certificate relating to the related Mortgage Loans), and (ii) such document is delivered within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date.

The Seller shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the Assignments of Mortgage up to $30 per Mortgage Loan and any other fees or costs in transferring all original documents to the Custodian or, upon written request of the Purchaser, to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to pay recording fees in connection with any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of California, or any other state, provided that Seller shall, upon request of the Purchaser and at the Seller’s expense, cause to be furnished to the Purchaser and its designees an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to the effect that recordation is not necessary in such states to protect the Purchaser’s (or its designees’) interest in such Mortgage Loans. If such opinion of counsel is not available by the Closing Date, the Seller will pay $30 per Mortgage Loan, to be netted from the Purchase Price on the Closing Date. The Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee shall be responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage.

Subsection 6.04 Quality Control Procedures.

Subsection 9.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any 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 and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements 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 provided for in the Underwriting Guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has

been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure laws, predatory, fair lending or abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions relating to the Illinois Interest Act and Prepayment Penalties have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.

accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.

After the Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;

(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a

federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state;

(o) LTV, PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

(p) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1) and (2) of paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(q) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;

(r) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Unless specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest only loan or a Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than fifteen years from commencement of amortization. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. There are no Convertible Mortgage Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Note;

Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;

(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten substantially in accordance with the Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H), subject to the exception guidelines and processes they include.

(z) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally;

(aa)

(bb) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian.

(cc) Georgia Loans. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after March 7, 2003, is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act;

(dd) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

(ee) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, such provision is enforceable;

The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

(hh) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term.

There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property;

(jj) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;

The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan in the trust did not rely solely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the related Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Seller which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller referred the related Mortgagor’s application to such Affiliate for underwriting consideration. For a Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s standard mortgage

line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the standard products. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(nnn) No Failure to Cure Default. The Seller has not received a written notice of default of any senior mortgage loan related to the Mortgaged Property which has not been cured; and

(ooo) Xxxxxx Mae Guides Anti-Predatory Lending Eligibility: Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.

Subsection 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, together with all expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a result of such repurchase unless the Purchaser has otherwise notified the Seller in writing before the end of the related cure period. Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in clauses (g), (i), (ww), (bb), (yy), (jj) (uu), (xx), (yy), (hhh), (iii) or (jjj) of Subsection 9.02, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, together with all expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a result of such repurchase and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.02 (other than the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (g), (i), (ww), (bb), (yy), (jj) (uu), (xx), (yy), (hhh), (iii) or (jjj) of such Subsection or any Deemed Material Breach Representation) and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller may, provided that it has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage

Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller does not substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.03 shall be accomplished by either (a) if the Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the Servicing Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions.

At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03 herein and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03 herein and the Custodial Agreement. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions within two (2) Business Days of such substitution.

Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement (including, without limitation, any alleged breach of any such representations and warranties arising out of or based upon any term or provision of any Mortgage Loan alleged to be not in conformity with any state or local law as a result of an assertion of federal preemption or an assertion that the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Seller is located apply to a Mortgage Loan secured by Mortgaged Property in another jurisdiction). It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 9.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 9.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

Subsection 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With First Payment Defaults.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes 30 days delinquent following the first scheduled payment of principal and interest to be made by the Mortgagor to the Purchaser following the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement (subject to adjustment as provided therein) multiplied by the then outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the date to which interest had last been paid through the date of such repurchase at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, less any Servicing Fees due the Seller, plus any outstanding advances owed to any servicer in connection with such Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser shall notify the Seller and request any such repurchase within 60 days after the date the Purchaser receives the Remittance Report which describes the related delinquency and the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of receipt of such notice.

SECTION 10. Closing.

The closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser’s option, each Closing shall be either (i) by

The closing for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(2) all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and under the Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, as specified therein) shall be true and correct as of the related Closing Date and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement or an Event of Default under the Servicing Agreement;

(3) the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser’s attorneys shall have received in escrow, all closing documents as specified in Section 11 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the terms hereof;

(4) the Seller shall have delivered and released to the Custodian all documents required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; and

(5) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement shall have been complied with.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller on the related Closing Date the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller.

SECTION 13. Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after each Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a “Reconstitution Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

(1) Xxxxxx Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program (Special Servicing Option) (each a “Xxxxxx Mae Transfer”); or

(2) Xxxxxxx Mac (the “Xxxxxxx Mac Transfer”); or

(3) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers; or

(4) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Securitization Transactions.

The Seller agrees to execute (i) in connection with any Agency Transfer, any and all pool purchase contracts, and/or agreements reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac (as the case may be) and any servicer, (ii) in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller and Purchaser, and (iii) in connection with a Securitization Transaction, a pooling and servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller and Purchaser (collectively the agreements referred to herein are designated, the “Reconstitution Agreements”).

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser as set forth below; (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in Subsection 9.01, Subsection 9.02 (other than the representations and warranties in subclauses (b), (c), (m), (q), (r), (w), (z), (ii), (nn), and (ggg) thereof) and on Exhibit J hereto or make the representations and warranties set forth in the related selling/servicing guide of the servicer or such representations or warranties as may be required by any rating agency or prospective purchaser of the related securities or such Mortgage Loans (collectively, the “Reconstitution Representations”) as of the

settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution that occurs on or prior to the date which is six (6) months following the related Closing Date. The Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to such master servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request; (ii) such additional reasonable representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are believed necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant; and (iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such participant that is satisfactory to the Seller, including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution Agreements. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each Affiliate designated by the Purchaser, each placement agent or underwriter participating in the Reconstitution, and each Person who controls the Purchaser, such Affiliate, underwriter or placement agent and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of or based upon in any way related to any untrue statements, alleged untrue statement or omissions of a material fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding the Seller, the Seller’s or other originator’s static pool information servicing practices or performance, the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution. If such indemnification is not available, Seller shall contribute to such losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the Seller’s relative benefit on the one hand (measured relative to the Purchase Price) and the Purchaser on the other hand (measured relative to the underwriting discount received in connection with the Whole Loan Transfer and/or Securitization Transaction); or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. But, in no event shall the Seller be obligated to any greater extent under a Reconstitution Agreement than it is under this Agreement. For purposes of this section, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and, if the Servicing Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package, shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 14. The Seller.

Subsection 14.01 Additional Indemnification by the Seller; Third Party Claims.

The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses (including (without limitation) legal fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller’s indemnification obligation under this Subsection 14.01) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties under this Agreement and to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 13 or any breach of any of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement. The Seller immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Seller for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when the claim is in any way related to the Seller’s indemnification pursuant to Section 9, or is in any way related to the failure of the Seller to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. For purposes of this section, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

Subsection 14.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall have a net worth of at least $25,000,000.

SECTION 15. Financial Statements.

The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed three (3) fiscal years respecting which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the end of the last two (2) fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 16. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.

The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, it being 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 (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (ii) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. 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.

SECTION 17. Notices.

All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, if mailed, by overnight or express mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as follows:

Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 18. Severability Clause.

Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, 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. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 19. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 20. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been

made in the State of New York. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law.

SECTION 21. Intention of the Parties.

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. 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 Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

SECTION 22. Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller. There shall be no limitation on the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement. In the event the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect thereto.

SECTION 23. Waivers.

No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 24. Exhibits.

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected at the Seller’s expense pursuant to this Agreement in the event recordation is either necessary under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser at its sole option.

SECTION 29. No Solicitation.

From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail (via electronic means or otherwise), solicit the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan for any purpose whatsoever, including to refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and data relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be transferred to the Purchaser pursuant hereto on the related Closing Date and the Seller shall take no action to undermine these rights and benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 29.

SECTION 32. Compliance with Regulation AB.

Subsection 32.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 34 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

Subsection 32.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

(a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 32.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller; and (ii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 32.03, the Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party.

performance of the Mortgage Loans, including the originators’ credit-granting or underwriting criteria for mortgage loans of similar type(s) as the Mortgage Loans and such other information as the Purchaser or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance with Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB;

Such Static Pool Information shall be prepared in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser by the Seller on the basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(1)-(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to the Seller Static Pool Information with respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to this paragraph. Such Static Pool Information for each vintage origination year or prior securitized pool, as applicable, shall be presented in increments no less frequently than quarterly over the life of the mortgage loans included in the vintage origination year or prior securitized pool. The most recent periodic increment must be as of a date no later than one hundred thirty-five (135) days prior to the date of the prospectus or other offering document in which the Static Pool Information is to be included or incorporated by reference. The Static Pool Information shall be provided in an electronic format that provides a permanent record of the information provided, such as a portable document format (pdf) file, or other such electronic format reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Depositor, as applicable.

Promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Static Pool Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (including an omission to include therein information required to be provided pursuant to such paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool Information to the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the

same format in which Static Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the Seller.

Any such statement or letter may take the form of a standard, generally applicable document accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing reliance by the addressees designated by the Purchaser or such Depositor.

(d) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Seller shall (i) notify the Purchaser and any Depositor in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Seller and (B) any affiliations or relationships that develop following the closing date of a Securitization Transaction between the Seller and any of the parties specified in clause (D) of paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other parties identified in writing by the requesting party) with respect to such Securitization Transaction, and (ii) provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor a description of such proceedings, affiliations or relationships.

(2)

any failure by the Seller to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 32.04; or

The Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, the Assignment of Mortgage must be by “[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]”.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER

(date)

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc.

0000 Xxxxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Dear Sirs:

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General Counsel to ___________________ (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement, by and between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Purchaser”), dated as of _________ __, 200_ (the “Purchase Agreement”) which sale is in the form of whole loans, delivered pursuant to a Bailee Agreement dated as of _____ __, 200_ among the Purchaser, the Company, and ______________________[CUSTODIAN] (the “Bailee Agreement”) and serviced pursuant to a Servicing Agreement, dated as of ______ __, 200_ by and between the Company, as servicer, and the Purchaser (the “Servicing Agreement,” and, collectively with the Purchase Agreement and the Bailee Agreement, the “Agreements”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

[We] [I] have examined the following documents:

1. the Purchase Agreement;

2. the Servicing Agreement;

3. the Bailee Agreement;

4. the form of Assignment of Mortgage;

5. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and

6. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement and in the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

D-1

Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:

The Company is a [type of entity] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the [United States] and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of [the state of incorporation/formation].

The Seller has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of the Agreements.

Each of the Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

The Seller has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

[5.

The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute by original [or facsimile] signature the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company].

Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreements and the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the Agreements conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court,

D-2

governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreements or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements.

The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Bailee Agreement is sufficient to fully transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

10.

The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been duly endorsed as provided in the Bailee Agreement. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreements, I assume no obligation to revise this opinion or alter its conclusions to update or support this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter develop.

D-3

This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of the date of this opinion.

Very truly yours,

RECONSTITUTION REPRESENTATIONS

(t) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(u) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Reconstitution Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(v) No Outstanding Charges. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(w) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(x) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements 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 provided for in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which

J-1

Exhibit J

policy conforms to Xxxxxx Mae Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(y) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(z) LTV, PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of 80% is insured as to payment default by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;

(aa) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides

J-2

Exhibit J

for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1) and (2) of paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(bb) No Defaults. As of the Reconstitution Closing Date, other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;

(cc) No Mechanics’ Liens. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(dd) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence;

(ee) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment;

J-3

Exhibit J

(ff) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;

(gg) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;

(hh) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;

(ii) No Violation of Environmental Laws. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;

J-4

Exhibit J

(jj) Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended, or other similar state statute;

(kk) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not known to the Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured), provided this shall not include the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay;

(ll) Escrow Analysis. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage, the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other applicable law; and

(mm) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in strict compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(b) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.1 shall for any reason be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.1 (other than due to indemnification not being applicable under Section 3.1(a)), then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalty, fine, forfeiture, costs, fees and expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 3.1, each director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if any, that controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.

3.2 Notification; Procedural Matters. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be made against another party) under Section 3.1, notify the Indemnifying Party (or other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party (or other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel

reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or parties shall reasonably have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or if the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Party of such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
