    In
      connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS®
System, the Seller further agrees that it shall cause, within 30 Business Days
      after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
      have been assigned by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by
      including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased
      in
      accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the
      field
      which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field”
which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such
      Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it shall not, and shall not
      permit the Master Servicer to alter the codes referenced in this paragraph
      with
      respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until
      such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
      and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     

    If
      any
      document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(iii), Section 4(b)(iv),
      or Section 4(b)(v) above (collectively, the “Recording Documents”) has as of the
      Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
      from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public
      recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
      of
      the Seller to deliver such Recording Documents shall be deemed to be satisfied
      upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee of a copy
      of
      each such Recording Document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above
      or
      the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true
      and
      complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
      copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Purchaser, the Trustee or
      their
      designee upon receipt thereof, and in any event no later than one year after
      the
      Closing Date (except as provided below), of either the original or a copy of
      such Recording Document certified by the applicable public recording office
      to
      be a true and complete copy of the original. In instances where, due to a delay
      on the part of the applicable recording office where any such Recording
      Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot
      be
      delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee within one year after
      the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, the Trustee or
      their designee within such time period an Officer’s Certificate stating the date
      by which the Seller expects to receive such Recording Documents from the
      applicable recording office. If the Recording Documents have still not been
      received by the Seller and delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their
      designee by such date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, the Trustee
      or
      their designee by such date an additional Officer’s Certificate stating a
      revised date by which Seller expects to receive the applicable Recording
      Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have
      been received by the Seller and delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or
      their
      designee. If the original or copy of the lender’s title insurance policy was not
      delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause
      to be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee promptly after
      receipt thereof, and in any event within 120 days after the Closing Date such
      title insurance policy. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
      the
      Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee promptly upon receipt thereof any
      other
      original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
      to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
      evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

    Each
      original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the
      Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee, if held by the Seller, shall be so
      held for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designees. In the
      event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of
      this
      Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
      promptly to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee. Any such original
      document that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a
      part
      of a Mortgage File shall be held by the Seller in its capacity as Master
      Servicer.

     

    (c)  Acceptance
      of Mortgage Loans.
      The
      documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the
      Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time
      before, on and after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document
      permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date within seven days of its
      delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have been executed and
      received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on
      the
      Mortgage Loan Schedule.

     

    (d)  Transfer
      of Interest in Agreements.
      The
      Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement (other
      than
      Section 17 hereof), in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required
      to
      effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent
      of the Seller, and the Trustee shall succeed to the rights and obligations
      hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf
      of
      the Purchaser, the Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, in connection with
      enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly
      reimbursed by the Seller.

     

    (e)  Examination
      of Mortgage Files.
      Prior
      to the Closing Date the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the
      Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, for
      examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make
      such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee
      or
      designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by
      the
      Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice
      to the Seller during normal business hours at any time before or after the
      Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing
      Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans with respect to which the Seller’s
      representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are not correct,
      such
      Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser
      may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of
      the
      Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The
      fact
      that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any
      partial or complete examination of the related Mortgage Files shall not affect
      the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the
      Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under
      the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

              6.      	
              Representations
                and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Individual Mortgage
                Loans.
                

            


    

     

    The
      Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of the Closing
      Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan:

     

    (i)  The
      information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to each
      Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off
      Date, unless another date is set forth on the Mortgage Loan
      Schedule;

     

    (ii)  [reserved];

     

    (iii)  Each
      Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first or second lien on the Mortgaged
      Property, including all improvements thereon, subject only to (a) the lien
      of
      non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants,
      conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
      public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions
      appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally
      or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the
      origination of the related Mortgage Loan and which do not materially interfere
      with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage,
      (c)
      other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
      materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
      by such Mortgage and (d) in the case of a second lien, only to a first lien
      on
      such Mortgaged Property;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (iv)  Immediately
      prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller
      had
      good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of, each Mortgage
      Loan, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance 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 the same. The form of
      endorsement of each Mortgage Note satisfied the requirement, if any, of
      endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and interest of the party
      so
      endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note;
      and
      each Assignment to be delivered hereunder is in recordable form and is
      sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to the assignee
      thereunder the benefits of the assignor, as mortgagee or assignee thereof,
      under
      each Mortgage to which that Assignment relates;

     

    (v)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no delinquent tax or assessment lien
      against any Mortgaged Property;

     

    (vi)  There
      is
      no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note (including any
      obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such
      Mortgage Note) or the Mortgage, nor will the operation of any of the terms
      of
      the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
      render the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part,
      or
      subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
      the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
      or
      defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

     

    (vii)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’ liens or claims for
      work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be
      a
      lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except those
      which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in (xi)
      below;

     

    (viii)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is free of material
      damage and is at least in average repair;

     

    (ix)  Each
      Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
      local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, predatory and
      abusive lending, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement
      procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation of the
      transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the receipt
      of
      interest does not involve the violation of any such laws;

     

    (x)  Neither
      the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified the Mortgage in
      any
      material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole
      or
      in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the
      lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation,
      modification or satisfaction with respect thereto (except that a Mortgage Loan
      may have been modified by a written instrument signed by the Seller or a prior
      holder of the Mortgage Loan which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect
      the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser and which has been delivered
      to
      the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser as part
      of the Mortgage File, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
      Loan
      Schedule);

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xi)  A
      lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
      extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, and, with respect to each
      Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in an
      amount at least equal to the balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
      Date
      or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the
      origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in
      full
      force and effect, the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
      and
      the Trustee does not affect the validity or enforceability of such policy and
      each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in
      the
      jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to Fannie
      Mae or Freddie Mac and in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on
      the
      date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, which policy insures the Seller
      and
      successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the
      first or second, as the case may be, priority lien of the Mortgage; to the
      best
      of the Seller’s knowledge, no claims have been made under such mortgage 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 mortgage title insurance policy;

     

    (xii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan was originated by, or generated on behalf of, the Seller, or
      originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank,
      credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised
      and
      examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the
      Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211
      of
      the National Housing Act;

     

    (xiii)  With
      respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, on each Adjustment Date, the
      Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded
      to the nearest 0.125%, subject to the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage
      Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note is payable on
      the
      first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly installments of principal
      and
      interest (unless such Mortgage Loan is a mortgage loan that requires the payment
      of interest only with respect to some or all of the related monthly payments
      as
      indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), with interest payable in arrears,
      and
      requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding
      principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term and to pay
      interest at the applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject to
      negative amortization. All rate adjustments have been performed in accordance
      with the terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications, if
      any;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xiv)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included for
      the purpose of determining the Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within
      the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no
      improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
      Property;

     

    (xv)  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, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and
      to
      the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
      under applicable law;

     

    (xvi)  All
      parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
      assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held
      and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
      licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property
      is located;

     

    (xvii)  The
      Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal,
      valid
      and binding obligation of the Mortgagor enforceable against the Mortgagor by
      the
      mortgagee or its representative in accordance with its terms, except only as
      such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
      moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
      generally and by law. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, all parties to the
      Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had full legal capacity to execute all Mortgage
      Loan documents and to convey the estate purported to be conveyed by the Mortgage
      and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and validly executed by
      such
      parties;

     

    (xviii)  The
      proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no
      requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as
      to
      completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
      of
      any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
      incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were
      paid;

     

    (xix)  The
      related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render
      the
      rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against
      the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in the
      case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii)
      otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption
      available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
      Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the
      Mortgage;

     

    (xx)  With
      respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
      under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
      currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
      are
      or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust,
      except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
      Mortgagor;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xxi)  There
      exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such
      are
      required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
      made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the
      Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
      Note;

     

    (xxii)  The
      origination, underwriting and collection practices used by the Seller with
      respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper,
      prudent and customary in the subprime mortgage servicing business. Each Mortgage
      Loan is currently being serviced by Washington Mutual Bank;

     

    (xxiii)  There
      is
      no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing the
      Mortgagor’s obligations;

     

    (xxiv)  No
      Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest
      feature;

     

    (xxv)  [reserved];

     

    (xxvi)  The
      improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing
      hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for
      fire extended coverage and coverage of such other hazards as are customarily
      covered by hazard insurance policies with extended coverage in the area where
      the Mortgaged Property is located representing coverage not less than the lesser
      of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the minimum
      amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis.
      All individual insurance policies and flood policies referred to in this clause
      (xxvi) and in clause (xxvii) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
      the Seller or the original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as
      mortgagee, and the Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and
      payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
      thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance, at the
      Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
      authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
      at
      the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
      Mortgagor;

     

    (xxvii)  If
      the
      Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
      Federal Emergency Management Agency as subject to special flood hazards, a
      flood
      insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
      of
      the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged
      Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage
      not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of
      the
      Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or
      loss
      on a replacement cost basis or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is
      available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xxviii)  There
      is
      no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
      Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and neither the Seller nor any other
      entity involved in originating or servicing the Mortgage Loan has waived any
      default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

     

    (xxix)  Each
      Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling,
      including condominium units and dwelling units in planned unit developments,
      which, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, does not include cooperatives and
      does not constitute property other than real property under state
      law;

     

    (xxx)  There
      is
      no obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party under the terms
      of
      the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to make payments in addition to those
      made
      by the Mortgagor;

     

    (xxxi)  Any
      future advances made prior to the 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
      reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal
      amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
      Loan;

     

    (xxxii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting
      guidelines as described in the Prospectus Supplement as applicable to its credit
      grade in all material respects (the “Underwriting Guidelines”);

     

    (xxxiii)  Each
      appraisal of a Mortgage Loan that was used to determine the appraised value
      of
      the related Mortgaged Property was conducted generally in accordance with the
      Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines, and included an assessment by the appraiser of
      the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the
      appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the applicable Mortgaged
      Property;

     

    (xxxiv)  None
      of
      the Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment Mortgage Loan, nor is any Mortgage
      Loan subject to a temporary buydown or similar arrangement;

     

    (xxxv)  There
      are
      no Mortgage Loans with respect to which the monthly payment due thereon in
      January, 2006 had not been made, none of the Mortgage Loans has been
      contractually delinquent for more than 30 days more than once during the
      preceding twelve months and, no Mortgage Loan has ever experienced a delinquency
      of 60 or more days since the origination thereof;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xxxvi)  Each
      Mortgage contains a provision that is, to the extent not prohibited by federal
      or state law, enforceable 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;

     

    (xxxvii)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge no misrepresentation, negligence, fraud 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 of any insurance in relation to such
      Mortgage Loan;

     

    (xxxviii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
      860G(a)(3) of the Code;

     

    (xxxix)  The
      information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule is complete, true and
      correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such
      information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and
      enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable law upon the
      Mortgagor’s voluntary Principal Prepayment (except to the extent that: (1) the
      enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
      receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally; or
      (2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection
      with a foreclosure or other involuntary prepayment). No Mortgage Loan originated
      before October 1, 2002 has a Prepayment Charge for a term in excess of five
      years from the date of its origination and no Mortgage Loan originated on or
      after October 1, 2002 has a prepayment charge for a term in excess of three
      years from the date of its origination;

     

    (xl)  The
      Loan-to-Value Ratio for each Mortgage Loan was no greater than 100% at the
      time
      of origination;

     

    (xli)  The
      first
      date on which each Mortgagor must make a payment on the related Mortgage Note
      is
      no later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement;

     

    (xlii)  With
      respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor shall not fail or has
      not
      failed to make the first monthly payment due under the terms of the Mortgage
      Loan by the second succeeding Due Date after the Due Date on which such monthly
      payment was due;

     

    (xliii)  The
      transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages
      by
      the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer
      or
      any similar statutory provisions in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, except
      any as may have been complied with;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (xliv)  There
      are
      no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and either (1) any
      taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
      charges or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid,
      or
      (2) 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. Except for payments in the nature of escrow payments, including
      without limitation, taxes and insurance payments, 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 by the Mortgage Note, except for interest accruing from the
      date
      of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever
      is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
      installment of principal and interest;

     

    (xlv)  There
      is
      no proceeding pending, or to best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened, for the
      total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or the taking by eminent
      domain of any Mortgaged Property;

     

    (xlvi)  No
      Mortgage Loan is subject to the requirements of the Home Ownership and Equity
      Protection Act of 1994, as amended, or is a “high cost” or “predatory” loan
      under any state or local law or regulation applicable to the originator of
      such
      Mortgage Loan or which would result in liability to the purchaser or assignee
      of
      such Mortgage Loan under any predatory or abusive lending law. In the event
      that
      Financial Security Assurance, Inc. becomes a NIMS Insurer, no Mortgage Loan
      is a
“covered” loan under the laws of the states of California, Colorado or
      Ohio;

     

    (xlvii)  No
      proceeds from any Mortgage Loans were used to finance single-premium credit
      insurance policies. No borrower was required to purchase any credit life,
      disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining
      the
      extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life,
      disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the
      origination of the Mortgage Loan;

     

    (xlviii)  The
      Seller did not select the Mortgage Loans with the intent to adversely affect
      the
      interests of the Purchaser;

     

    (xlix)  The
      Seller has not received any notice that any Mortgagor has filed for any
      bankruptcy or similar legal protection since the date of the origination of
      such
      Mortgage Loan. Prior to the date of the origination of any Mortgage Loan, the
      Seller did not receive any notice that any Mortgagor has filed for bankruptcy
      or
      similar legal protection except as permitted under the Underwriting
      Guidelines;

     

    (l)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Georgia
      Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”), and no Mortgage Loan that was
      originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, is
      secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of Georgia;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (li)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Kentucky
      high-cost loan statute effective June 24, 2003 (Ky. Rev. Stat. Section
      360.100);

     

    (lii)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New
      Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46;
      10B-22 et seq.);

     

    (liii)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a subsection 10 mortgage under the Oklahoma Home
      Ownership and Equity Protection Act;

     

    (liv)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in New York
      Banking Law 6-1;

     

    (lv)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Arkansas
      Home Loan Protection Act effective July 16, 2003 (Act 1340 of
      2003);

     

    (lvi)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New
      Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Am.
§§ 58-21A-1 et seq.);

     

    (lvii)  [reserved];

     

    (lviii)  Each
      Group I Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the following
      anti-predatory lending guidelines:

     

    a.  Each
      Group I Mortgage Loan satisfies the eligibility for purchase requirements and
      was originated in compliance with Lender Letter # LL03-00 dated April 11, 2000
      for Fannie Mae Sellers (the “Lender Letter”);

     

    b.  No
      borrower was encouraged or required by the Seller to select a Group I Mortgage
      Loan product offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher
      cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of
      the
      Group I Mortgage Loan’s origination, such borrower did not qualify taking into
      account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product
      then offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the
      Group I Mortgage Loan’s originator;

     

    c.  The
      methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Group I
      Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the
      borrower’s income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such
      underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the borrower’s equity in
      the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
      extension. Such underwriting methodology provided reasonable assurance that
      at
      the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable
      ability to make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    d.  With
      respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
      imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity, (i) the Seller’s
      pricing methods include mortgage loans with and without prepayment premiums;
      borrowers selecting Group I Mortgage Loans which include such prepayment
      premiums receive a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or
      fee
      reduction, in exchange for selecting a Group I Mortgage Loan with a prepayment
      premium, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan’s origination, the borrower had
      the opportunity to choose between an array of mortgage loan products which
      included mortgage loan products with prepayment premiums and mortgage loan
      products that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment
      premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to
      applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal
      law to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not impose such prepayment
      premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result
      of
      the borrower’s default in making the loan payments;

     

    e.  All
      points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
      to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law. Except
      in
      the case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less
      than
      $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no borrower
      was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater
      than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation calculated
      in
      accordance with the Lender Letter; 

     

    f.  All
      fees
      and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,
      collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
      of
      each Group I Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in
      accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation; 

     

    (lix)  No
      Group
      I Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at origination in excess of Fannie
      Mae’s
      conforming loan balance limitations for single family loans set forth in the
      Fannie Mae Charter Act and the Fannie Mae Selling Guide in effect at the time
      of
      such Group I Mortgage Loan's origination;

     

    (lx)  With
      respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, information regarding the borrower credit
      file related to such Mortgage Loan has been furnished to credit reporting
      agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
      and
      the applicable implementing regulations;

     

    (lxi)  No
      Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan” (as such terms are defined
      in the Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary in effect on the Closing Date
      which is now Version 5.6d Revised, Exhibit E, applicable portions of which
      are
      attached hereto as Exhibit A) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
      October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia
      Act;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (lxii)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the
      Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004
      (Mass. Ann. Laws ch. 183C);

     

    (lxiii)  No
      Group I Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana
      Home Loan Practices Act effective January 1, 2005 (Ind. Code Ann.
§§ 24-9-1 through 24-9-9); and

     

    (lxiv)  With
      respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004,
      neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the
      Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or
      relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.

              7.      	
              Repurchase
                Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
                and Warranty.

            


    

     

    (a)  The
      representations and warranties contained in Section 5(ix) and Section 6 shall
      not be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other documents
      evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of
      the
      Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure
      to
      the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including
      the Trustee for the benefit of holders of asset-backed certificates evidencing
      an interest in all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans. With respect to the
      representations and warranties contained herein which are made to the knowledge
      or the best of knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no
      knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation
      and
      warranty was inaccurate as of the date such representation and warranty was
      made
      or deemed to be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
      the
      value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser
      or
      the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack
      of knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance of such representation
      and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
      made, the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph
      in
      respect of such Mortgage Loan.

     

    Upon
      discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
      of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any material
      document was not transferred by the Seller (as listed on the Trustee’s initial
      certification), as part of any Mortgage File or of a breach of any of the
      representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6 that
      materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest
      of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee (it being
      understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth
      in
      the last sentence of (xxxix), (xlvi), the first sentence of (xlvii), (lxi)
      and
      (lxiv) of Section 6 herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty
      shall in and of itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest
      therein of the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee)
      in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written
      notice to the others. Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of the discovery
      or
      the Seller’s receipt of notice of any such missing documentation which was not
      transferred to the Purchaser as described above or materially defective
      documentation or any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Seller
      promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
      in
      all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
      document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within
      90
      days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected
      Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling
      and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling
      and
      Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust
      Fund
      and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided,
      however, that in the case of a breach of the representation and warranty
      concerning the Mortgage Loan Schedule contained in Section 6(i), if such breach
      relates to any field on the Mortgage Loan Schedule which identifies any
      Prepayment Charge and such Prepayment Charge has been triggered pursuant to
      the
      terms of the related Mortgage Note, then in lieu of purchasing such Mortgage
      Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and
      Servicing Agreement), the Seller shall pay the amount of the incorrectly
      identified Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously collected by or
      paid
      to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge), and the Seller shall
      have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. In the
      event of a substitution permitted hereunder, the Seller shall amend the Closing
      Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of each removed Mortgage Loan from the terms
      of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition
      of
      the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s). The Seller shall deliver to the
      Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents
      as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within
      five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section
      7(a) shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount
      of
      the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in
      accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
      repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner
      consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any
      remedy by the Seller for a breach of a representation or warranty that
      materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge shall be
      made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement.

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

    The
      Seller has represented to the Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans are being
      serviced in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
      and it is understood and agreed by and between the Seller and the Purchaser
      that
      any interim servicing arrangements with the Seller will be superseded by the
      servicing arrangements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement.

              Mandatory
                Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.

            


    

     

    The
      sale
      and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Swap
      Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is
      mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan
      is
      unique and identifiable on the Closing Date and that an award of money damages
      would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages
      incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the
      Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date.

     

    The
      Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
      interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and the Trust Swap
      Agreement, and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan
      and the Trust Swap Agreement to secure the performance by the Seller of its
      obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans
      and such Trust Swap Agreement in custody for the Purchaser, subject to (i)
      the
      Purchaser’s right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the
      extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Purchaser’s obligation to
      deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans and
      the Trust Swap Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loan
      rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be automatically released
      from the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon
      acceptance of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Swap Agreement by the Purchaser
      or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, that any security
      interest held by the Seller in such Mortgage Loans and such Trust Swap Agreement
      shall be released. 

     

    All
      rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
      and
      cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded
      by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently,
      independently or successively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing
      Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been
      satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the
      Purchase Price, or shall not have delivered or caused to be delivered the Long
      Beach Certificates to the Seller or, upon the direction of the Seller, to Long
      Beach Asset Holding Corp., or any such condition shall not have been waived
      or
      satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the
      Purchase Price or not to deliver or cause to be delivered the Long Beach
      Certificates to the Seller or Long Beach Asset Holding Corp., the Purchaser
      shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust
      Swap Agreement, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and any security
      interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been
      released.

      and
      the Trust Swap Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect,

    (a)  The
      Seller indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s officers
      and directors and each person,
      if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or Section 20 of the
      Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), as follows:

     

    (i)  against
      any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
      to which the Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under
      the
      1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
      (or actions in respect thereof), including, but not limited to, any loss, claim,
      expense, damage or liability related to purchases and sales of the Class A
      Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates arise
      out
      of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
      material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the
      Prospectus Supplement, in the case of purchases and sales of the Class A
      Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, or the Private Placement Memorandum
      relating to the Class B Certificates dated March 1, 2006 (the “Private Placement
      Memorandum”), in the case of purchases and sales of the Class B Certificates, or
      any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the
      omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading;
      and will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and each such controlling person
      for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such
      controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or
      appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
      damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,
      that the Seller will be liable in any such case only to the extent that any
      such
      loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
      statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made therein
      in
      reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
      Purchaser by the Seller specifically for use in the preparation thereof (the
      “Seller’s Information”);

     

    (ii)  against
      any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, to the extent
      of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation
      or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
      or of
      any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
      such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with
      the written consent of the Seller; and

     

    (iii)  against
      any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel
      chosen by the Purchaser, subject to Section 17(c) below), reasonably
      incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or
      investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
      threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
      omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that
      any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii)
      above.

     

    This
      indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Seller may
      otherwise have.

     

    (b)  The
      Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of its
      directors, each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Seller
      within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
      Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or
      liabilities to which the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling
      person may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
      losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
      out
      of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
      material fact contained in the
      Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement, in the case
      of
      purchases and sales of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
      or the Private Placement Memorandum, in the case of purchases and sales of
      the
      Class B Certificates, other than in the Seller’s Information, or arise out of,
      or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
      made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses
      reasonably incurred by the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling
      person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
      damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
      any
      liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have.

    (c)  Promptly
      after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 17 of notice of
      the commencement of any action described therein, such indemnified party will,
      if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
      under
      this Section 17, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof;
      but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
      indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
      under this Section 17 unless the indemnifying party is materially
      prejudiced by such omission to notify and in any event the failure to notify
      the
      indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
      to
      the indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such
      action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
      indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will
      be
      entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do
      so,
      jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the
      defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall
      not, except with the consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to
      be
      unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be counsel to the indemnifying
      party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
      under this Section 17, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
      legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
      connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation
      and preparation for a defense.

     

    Any
      indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
      action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
      of
      such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless:
      (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
      indemnifying party in writing (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
      advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
      to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
      indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
      advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; (iii) a
      conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the
      indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
      (in
      which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense
      of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying
      party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such
      indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects
      to
      employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
      indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
      on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
      indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
      but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
      out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
      reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
      addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which
      firm shall be designated in writing (i) by the Seller if the indemnified
      parties under this Section 17 consist of the Seller or any of its officers,
      directors or controlling persons, or (ii) the Purchaser, if the indemnified
      party under this Section 17 consist of the Purchaser or any of the
      Purchaser’s directors, officers or controlling persons.

    Each
      indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
      Section 17(a) and Section 17(b), shall use its reasonable efforts to
      cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or
      claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such
      action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with its written
      consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
      the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified
      party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent set forth in
      Section 17(a) or Section 17(b) as applicable) by reason of such
      settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
      consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
      threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
      been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
      party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such
      indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject of
      such
      action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of,
      fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified
      party.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing paragraph, if at any time an indemnified party shall have
      requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees
      and
      expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
      for
      any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
      (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
      indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying
      party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such
      request prior to the date of such settlement.

     

    (d)  If
      the
      indemnification provided for in Section 17(a) or 17(b) is unavailable
      or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a)
      or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
      paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
      damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above
      (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
      received by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other from
      the
      offering of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class
      B
      Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
      not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
      not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
      relative fault of the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other
      in
      connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
      claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
      considerations. If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(b) is
      unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under
      Section 17(b), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
      paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
      damages or liabilities referred to in Section 17(b) in such proportion as
      appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser on one hand and
      the
      Seller on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
      resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other
      relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
      Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other shall be deemed to be
      in
      the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
      deducting expenses) received by the Purchaser bear to the total underwriting
      discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters (as defined in the
      Prospectus Supplement) and the total placement fees received by the Initial
      Purchasers (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum). The relative fault
      shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
      or
      alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
      to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Purchaser or
      by
      the Seller and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
      and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
      amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
      or liabilities referred to above in the first sentence of this
      subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
      reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
      or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
      subsection (d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
      the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
      contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
      misrepresentation.

              Representations
                and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Trust Swap
                Agreement.

            


    

     

    The
      Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of the Closing
      Date with respect to the Trust Swap Agreement:

     

    (a)  Immediately
      prior to the novation of the Trust Swap Agreement to the Purchaser, the Seller
      had good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of, the Trust
      Swap Agreement, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge,
      claim, equity or encumbrance of any kind created by the Seller, and has full
      right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement
      with, any other party to sell, assign and novate the same. Upon the delivery,
      transfer or novation of the Trust Swap Agreement to the Purchaser as
      contemplated herein, the Purchaser will receive the Trust Swap Agreement, free
      and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or
      encumbrance of any kind created by the Seller;

     

    (b)  The
      Trust
      Swap Agreement constitutes “general intangibles” within the meaning of the
      applicable UCC;

     

    (c)  The
      Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the
      Trust Swap Agreement for the sale of such Trust Swap Agreement hereunder to
      the
      Purchaser;

     

    (d)  The
      Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date,
      the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office
      in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law as necessary to perfect
      the security interest in the Trust Swap Agreement granted to the Purchaser
      hereunder; and

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (e)  The
      Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
      statements against Seller that include a description of collateral covering
      either of the Trust Swap Agreement other than any financing statement
      (a) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser hereunder or
      (b) that has been terminated.

    THIS
      AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
      PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
      AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF
      LAW
      PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401
      OF
      THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

     

    
      	SECTION
              20.     	
              Miscellaneous.

            


    

     

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

     

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

      be
      third-party beneficiaries hereof solely with respect to Section 17 and shall

      Anti-Predatory Lending Categorization

    


    Standard
      & Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
      the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
      of
      factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
      liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
      certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
      Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
      and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
      industry.
