 ARTICLE II 
 SALE OF SECURITIES; DELIVERY OF SECURITIES; PAYMENT 
 OF DEPOSITOR PURCHASE PRICE 
  
 SECTION 2.1 Sale of
Securities. 
  
 (a) From time to time,
pursuant to any Transfer Supplement, the Seller may sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Depositor and the Depositor shall purchase, without recourse, but subject to the terms hereof and except as otherwise provided herein, all the
right, title and interest of the Seller in and to each Eligible Security identified on the Transfer Supplement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to purchase Eligible Securities on any Closing Date having an
aggregate Depositor Purchase Price greater than the amount of cash which is received on the applicable Closing Date under one or more related Repo Agreements pursuant to which the Depositor transfers such Eligible Securities to the Issuer, unless
the Seller shall agree to contribute to the Depositor as a capital contribution any such excess of the aggregate Depositor Purchase Price of such Portfolio of Eligible Securities over the amount of cash paid to the Depositor by the Issuer under one
or related Repo Agreements on such Closing Date; provided, further, that each Security transferred on each Closing Date must be an Eligible Security; provided, further, that the Depositor shall not be required or
permitted to purchase any Eligible Securities if the Single Issuer Cap Excess Amount, the Non-S&P Rated Private Label Cap Excess Amount or the Servicer Strength Cap Excess Amount would exist if such Eligible Securities were purchased by the
Issuer. The Seller shall provide a notice to the Depositor, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer not later than 9:50 a.m. New York City time on any Closing Date of its intention to sell a Portfolio to
the Depositor pursuant to a Transfer Supplement; provided, however, that the Seller may deliver such notice to the Depositor, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer at any time prior to
2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any Closing Date if the Issuer will not issue additional Short Term Notes to fund its purchase of the applicable Portfolio from the Depositor on such Closing Date. In such notice, the Seller shall inform the Depositor of
the aggregate PAR Value, the Group, and the Depositor Purchase Price of the Eligible Securities that it intends to sell on such date. Each Transfer Supplement shall be executed by the Seller and the Depositor at the time of the sale of the subject
Portfolio. 
  
 (b) Upon execution of any Transfer
Supplement by the Seller and the Depositor and receipt by the Seller of the Depositor Purchase Price for each of the Eligible Securities identified on such Transfer Supplement, the Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers, sets over and conveys to
the Depositor all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each such Eligible Security. It is intended that each transfer, assignment and conveyance herein contemplated constitutes a sale of the applicable Eligible Securities,
conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens, by the Seller to the Depositor and not a loan secured by such Eligible Securities and that the Eligible Securities not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of insolvency. In the
event that any Eligible Securities are held to be property of the Seller or if for any other reason any Transfer Supplement is held or deemed to create a security interest in (and not a sale of) the related Eligible Securities, the parties intend
that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and does hereby grant, to the Depositor a first priority perfected security interest in such Eligible Securities and all collateral related thereto now existing or hereafter arising for the purpose of
securing the rights of the Depositor under this Securities Sale and Contribution 

  

 3 








 
Agreement, and that this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement and each Transfer Supplement shall each constitute a security agreement under applicable
law. 
  
 (c) It is expressly understood and
agreed that the Seller shall not have any obligation to transfer any Securities to the Depositor, and any such transfer by the Seller shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 SECTION 2.2 Delivery of Eligible Securities. All Eligible Securities sold by the Seller to the Depositor hereunder
shall be transferred to the Depositor by causing such Eligible Securities to be credited to the Issuer Account, maintained with and under the control of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Issuer in accordance with the Security Agreement, the
Administration Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement on the related Closing Date. 
  
 SECTION 2.3 Determination of Depositor Purchase Price. On each Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Depositor a Transfer Supplement, in
accordance with Section 2.1, and shall notify the Depositor of its calculation of the Depositor Purchase Price for each Eligible Security in the Portfolio. The Depositor and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close the sale
of any Portfolio on any such Closing Date. The Depositor shall pay to the Seller the Depositor Purchase Price of each Eligible Security purchased by it hereunder (to the extent the Depositor Purchase Price is not paid in cash, such unpaid portion of
the Depositor Purchase Price shall be deemed a capital contribution in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in Section 2.5 herein) not later than 6:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable Closing Date. 
  
 SECTION 2.4 Purchase Commitment Term. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Program Documents, the commitment of the Depositor under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement shall expire upon the Collateral Agent’s delivery of Notice of Program Default to the Seller in accordance with
Section 5.1 of the Security Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.5
Capital Contribution. 
  
 (a) Payment
of Depositor Purchase Price. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement and the other Program Documents, on each Closing Date, the Depositor agrees to pay to the Seller the aggregate
Depositor Purchase Price in respect of the sale of the Portfolio of Eligible Securities by the Seller to the Depositor to occur on such Closing Date. Such Depositor Purchase Price shall be paid by the Depositor to the Seller in the form of cash
and/or a capital contribution by the Seller to the Depositor as follows: 
  
 (i) First, the Depositor Purchase Price for such Eligible Securities shall be paid in cash to the extent that the Depositor has received cash from the Issuer on such Closing Date under one or more related Repo
Agreements pursuant to which the Depositor has transferred such Eligible Securities to the Issuer; and 
  
 (ii) Second, the Seller shall be deemed to have made a contribution to the capital of the Depositor in an amount equal to such
remaining unpaid portion of the Depositor Purchase Price. 
  

 4 








 SECTION 2.6 Distributions by the Depositor. The Depositor (I) shall from time to time make
distributions to the Seller, as return on equity, from P&I Proceeds received and held by the Depositor, to the extent such P&I Proceeds (a) exceed 10% of the Face Amount of the earliest maturing Class of Short Term Notes then
outstanding, or (b) together with the amount of any P&I Proceeds which have been previously applied to the repayment of Short Term Notes in the preceding twelve months, exceed 10% of the average outstanding Face Amount of Short Term Notes
on each Business Day during such twelve month period, and (II) may from time to time make further distributions to the Seller from amounts received by the Depositor under the Program Documents; provided that, in either case, the Depositor
shall not make any distributions to the Seller on any day to the extent the Depositor shall have failed to pay the Issuer any amounts due and owing to the Issuer on or prior to such date under any Repo Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; 
 REMEDIES AND BREACH 
  
 SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. 

 
 The Seller represents and warrants to the Depositor that as of each
applicable Closing Date the following will be true and correct in all material respects.

under the laws of the State of Maryland, and (ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted in all material respects and to perform its obligations under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement.

  
 (b) No Conflicts. The execution and
delivery of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement by the Seller, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement by the Seller, will not violate the Seller’s organizational
documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to
it or any of its assets, in each case which, in the Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment, materially and adversely affects the ability of the Seller to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Securities Sale and Contribution
Agreement. 
  
 (c) Due Execution. The
Seller has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Securities Sale and
Contribution Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (d) Enforceability. This Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other 

  

 5 








 
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
  
 (e) No Violation. The Seller is not in violation of (and its execution and delivery of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Securities Sale and Contribution
Agreement will not constitute a violation of) any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Seller’s good
faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement or the financial condition of the Seller. 
  
 (f) No Litigation. No litigation is pending or, to
the Seller’s knowledge, threatened against the Seller the outcome of which, in the Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment, would reasonably be expected to prohibit the Seller from entering into this Securities Sale and Contribution
Agreement or materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (g) No Broker’s Fees. The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, other than the
Issuer, the Depositor, and each Short Term Note Dealer, and their respective Affiliates that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Eligible Securities or the consummation of any of the other transactions
contemplated hereby. 
  
 (h) No Consents
Necessary. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law (including, with respect to any bulk sale laws), for the
execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by the Seller with this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, or the consummation by the Seller of any transaction contemplated hereby, other than (1) the filing or recording of
financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary in connection with the Seller’s sale of Eligible Securities to the Depositor, (2) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (3) where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not, in the Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment,
have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Seller under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (i) Ordinary Course of Business. The performance of the transactions contemplated by this Securities Sale and Contribution
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller. 
  
 (j) No Untrue Information. Neither this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, any Transfer Supplement nor any written statement, written report or other document prepared by the Seller pursuant to this
Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact relating to the Seller or the Securities transferred by the Seller to the Depositor hereunder.

  

 6 








 (k) Financial Statements. The Seller has delivered to the Depositor consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2004 as to its last three complete fiscal years and any later quarter ended more than sixty (60) days prior to the execution of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. All such financial
statements fairly present the pertinent results of operations and changes in financial position at the end of each such period of the Seller and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller since the date of the Seller’s most
recently provided financial statements that would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (l) Solvency. The Seller is solvent and its sale of the applicable Eligible Securities to the
Depositor on such date is not undertaken to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Seller’s creditors. 
  
 (m) Qualified Purchaser. The Seller is a Qualified Purchaser. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.1 shall survive
delivery of the respective Eligible Securities to the Depositor and any successor thereof and the termination of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties made pursuant to and set forth in this Section 3.1 which adversely affects the interests of the Depositor and which adversely affects the value of the Eligible Securities or the interests of the Depositor or any of its successors
and assigns, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrator and the Issuer. 
  
 SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties and Other Rights Regarding Individual Securities. With respect to each
Security sold by the Seller to the Depositor, the Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor (and for the benefit of the Issuer and the Collateral Agent) that as of the applicable Closing Date:

 (b) information set forth in the related Transfer Supplement
relating to the sale of such Security is true and correct in all material respects; 
  
 (c) no payment under such Security is past its contractual due date;

owned by the Seller in a manner so as to materially adversely affect the interests of the Depositor and the Issuer, as applicable; 
  
 (e) the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of such Security to the transfer to the Depositor of its
interest and rights in such Security; 
  

 7 








 (f) the Market Price for such Security is available or obtainable on such Closing Date in
accordance with the Administration Agreement, and the Stress Case Security Price has been calculated by the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement; 
  
 (g) the Depositor’s purchase of such Security, and subsequent transfer of such Security to the Issuer
under any Repo Agreement, shall not cause a Single Issuer Cap Excess Amount, Servicer Strength Cap Excess Amount, or Non-S&P Rated Cap Excess Amount to exist on such date; 
  
 (h) the Depositor’s purchase of such Security, and subsequent transfer of such Security to the Issuer
under any Repo Agreement, shall not constitute a violation of any restriction on transfer applicable to such Security pursuant to its terms, or a breach of Section 5 of the Securities Act; 
  
 (i) such Security is an Eligible Security; and 

 
 (j) the aggregate Market Value of the Specified
Securities owned by the Issuer on such Closing Date shall not be less than the Required Specified Securities Amount on such Closing Date after giving effect to the purchase of such Security by the Depositor and its subsequent transfer to the Issuer
under the Repo Agreement, repurchase or substitution of Securities by Depositor on such date and payments to Noteholders on such date. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.2 shall survive the sale of each Security to the
Depositor and the termination of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Issuer and the Collateral Agent notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Security. The Seller hereby
consents to and acknowledges the assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of the representations and warranties and other rights set forth in this Section 3.2 and in Section 3.1 hereof and agrees that the Issuer may enforce any remedies
for such breaches directly against the Seller. 
  
 SECTION 3.3
Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Depositor of a breach of any of the representations and warranties or agreements set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 which adversely affects the value of
any Security or the interests of the Depositor or any of its successors and assigns, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrator and the
Issuer. 
  
 Within one (1) Business Day of the earlier of
either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty or agreement set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof which adversely affects the value of any Security or the interests of the Depositor or any of its
successors and assigns, the Seller shall repurchase such Security at the Repurchase Price or substitute such Security with one or more Eligible Securities with an aggregate Market Value equal to the Market Value of such Security, provided the
Overcollateralization Test and the Required Specified Securities Amount shall be satisfied after the substitution of each such Security. Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price or the replacement Security or Securities by the 

  

 8 








 
Collateral Agent, the Depositor and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased or substituted Security or Securities to the Seller.

  
 If any Security with respect to which the Seller has breached
a representation and warranty set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 herein has been sold by the Issuer for less than the related Repurchase Price, the Seller shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.3 by paying the Depositor the excess of
(x) the Repurchase Price for such Security, over (y) the proceeds realized by the Issuer in connection with such sale.

 (d) No Violation. The Depositor is not in violation of (and its execution and delivery of this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Securities

likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement or the financial condition of the Depositor.

 EXHIBIT B 

 
 PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
  
 In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the
Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Collateral Agent as to itself as follows, the Administrator hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent as to itself and the
Issuer, and the Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Collateral Agent as to itself, in each case as of the Effective Date and on each Closing Date thereafter, as follows: 
  
 General 
  
 1. The Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the
Collateral Agent, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Issuer. 
  
 2. The Securities constitute “accounts,” “general intangibles,” “instruments,” “certificated securities,” “uncertificated
securities,” “securities accounts,” or “securities entitlements” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York. 
  

3. The Collateral Account, the Issuer Account and the Note Account (collectively, the “Accounts”) and all subaccounts thereof, constitute either a deposit
account or a securities account. 
  
 4. All of the Securities that constitute
security entitlements have been and will be credited to the Issuer Account. The securities intermediary for each Account has agreed to treat each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security or instrument) other than
cash, credited to the Accounts as a “financial asset” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. 
  
 Creation 
  
 5. Issuer
owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of
business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as
foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding. 
  
 6. Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Securities that constitute security entitlements,
certificated securities or uncertificated securities to the transfer to the Collateral Agent of its interest and rights in the Securities hereunder. 
  

 B-1 








 Perfection: 
  
 7. Administrator has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the date of the Original Agreement and the Securities Sale and
Contribution Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent
hereunder. 
  
 8. With respect to Securities that constitute an instrument:

  
 (i) All original executed copies of each such instrument have
been delivered to a custodian or the Collateral Agent; 
  
 (ii)
If such instruments are in the possession of a custodian, then 
  
 (a) the Collateral Agent has received a written acknowledgment from custodian that custodian is holding such instruments solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent; or 
  
 (b) the custodian received possession of such instruments after the
Collateral Agent received a written acknowledgment from such custodian that such custodian is acting solely as agent of the Collateral Agent. 
  
 9. With respect to Securities or the Accounts and all subaccounts that constitute deposit accounts, the Issuer has delivered to Collateral Agent a fully executed
agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the Accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing disposition of the funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Issuer. 
  
 10. With respect to Securities or the Accounts or subaccounts thereof that constitute
securities accounts or security entitlements, the Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the date of the Original Agreement and the Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements
in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest granted in the Securities to the Collateral Agent; and Issuer has delivered to Collateral Agent a fully executed agreement
pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent relating to the Accounts without further consent by the Issuer. 
  
 11. With respect to Securities that constitute certificated securities (other than security entitlements), all original executed copies of
each Securities Sale and Contribution certificate that constitutes or evidences the Securities have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and each such Securities Sale and Contribution certificate either (i) is in bearer form, (ii) has
been indorsed by an effective endorsement to the Collateral Agent or in blank, or (iii) has been registered in the name of the Collateral Agent.

 Priority 
  

12. Other than the transfer of the Securities to Issuer under the Master Repurchase Agreement and the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
Security Agreement, neither Issuer nor Seller has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral or the Accounts or any subaccount thereof. Neither Issuer nor Seller has authorized the filing of,
or is aware of any financing statements against Issuer or Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral or the Accounts or any subaccount thereof other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted
to the Collateral Agent hereunder or that has been terminated. 
  
 13. Neither
Issuer nor Seller is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either Issuer or Seller. 
  
 14. The Issuer has or shall at the time of acquisition have in its possession all original copies of the security certificates that constitute or evidence the Securities that are certificated securities. The security
certificates that constitute or evidence the Securities that are certificated securities do not and will not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Collateral
Agent. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Collateral Agent in connection herewith describing the Securities that are certificated securities contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase
of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Collateral Agent, unless any such purchase is made as provided under the terms of the Program Documents.” 
  
 15. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement or any other Program Document, the representations, warrants and covenants contained in this Exhibit B shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations
under the Securities Sale and Contribution Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.
