WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, Seller, in the ordinary course of its business acquires and originates mortgage loans and acquired or originated all of the mortgage loans listed on the Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Initial Loans”);


WHEREAS, as of each Subsequent Transfer Date (as defined below), Seller will own other mortgage loans (the “Subsequent Loans” and together with the Initial Loans, the “Loans”) so indicated in the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement (as defined below);


WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that: (i) the Seller sell the Initial Loans to the Purchaser on the Closing Date and thereafter all Additional Balances relating to the Initial Loans created on or after the Cut-off Date pursuant to the terms of this Loan Purchase Agreement together with the Basic Documents, (ii) the Seller sell the Subsequent Loans, if any, to the Issuer, as assignee of the Purchaser under this Loan Purchase Agreement, on each Subsequent Transfer Date and thereafter all Additional Balances relating to the Subsequent Loans created on or after the related Subsequent Transfer Date pursuant to the terms of a Subsequent Transfer Agreement together with the Basic Documents and (iii) the Seller make certain representations and warranties on the Closing Date;

Section 1.          Transfer of Initial Loans and Subsequent Loans.  Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Purchaser (A) the Initial Loans and all Additional Balances thereafter arising, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Loan Files and including any Eligible Substitute Loans; (B) all pool insurance policies, hazard insurance policies, and bankruptcy bonds relating to the foregoing, and (C) all amounts payable after the Cut-off Date to the holders of the Initial Loans in accordance with the terms thereof.  In addition, Seller has delivered to the Purchaser or the related Custodian, as directed by the Purchaser, the Loan Schedule and the documents listed on Exhibit C; provided, however,
that the Purchaser does not assume the obligation under each Loan Agreement relating to a HELOC to fund Draws to the Mortgagor 


 








thereunder, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated or permitted to fund any such Draws, it being agreed that the Seller will retain the obligation to fund future Draws.  Such conveyance shall be deemed to be made: (1) with respect to the Cut-off Date Principal Balances, as of the Closing Date; and (2) with respect to the amount of each Additional Balance created on or after the Cut-off Date, as of the later of the Closing Date and the date that the corresponding Draw was made pursuant to the related Loan Agreement, subject to the receipt by the Servicer of consideration therefor as provided in Section 3.16 of the Servicing Agreement and 3.05 of the Indenture.


Seller covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to acquire and sell to the Issuer as assignee of the Purchaser, and the Issuer will agree in the Indenture to pledge to the Indenture Trustee, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, the Subsequent Loans.  On each Subsequent Transfer Date, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D) and subject to the terms thereof, the Seller will thereby sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to Issuer as assignee of the Purchaser (A) the Subsequent Loans and all Additional Balances thereafter arising, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Loan Files and including any Eligible Substitute Loans; (B) all pool insurance policies, hazard insurance policies,
and bankruptcy bonds relating to the foregoing, and (C) all amounts payable after the related Subsequent Transfer Date to the holders of the Subsequent Loans in accordance with the terms thereof.  In addition, Seller covenants to deliver to the Issuer as assignee of the Purchaser or the related Custodian, as directed by the Purchaser, the documents listed on Exhibit C with respect to the Subsequent Loans.  Such conveyance shall be deemed to be made: (1) with respect to the Cut-off Date Principal Balances of the Subsequent Loans, as of the Subsequent Transfer Date; and (2) with respect to the amount of each Additional Balance created on or after the Cut-off Date, as of the later of the Subsequent Transfer Date and the date that the corresponding Draw was made pursuant to the related Loan Agreement, subject to the receipt by the Servicer of consideration therefor as provided in Section 3.16 of the Servicing Agreement and 3.05 of the Indenture.


The Seller shall comply with its obligations set forth in Sections 1. and 2. with respect to the Subsequent Loans delivered on each Subsequent Transfer Date.  References in such Sections to the Initial Loans or Loans shall be deemed to refer to the Subsequent Loans and references to the Cut-Off Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the applicable related Subsequent Transfer Date.


(a)          Based on the Initial Certifications of the Custodians, the Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodians of the documents identified in the Initial Certifications and declares that the Custodians hold such documents and the other documents delivered to the Custodians constituting the applicable Loan Files, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that it or the Custodians will maintain possession of the Loans and the Loan Files in the State of Illinois, California or Texas, as applicable, as directed by the Purchaser, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.


(b)          The Indenture Trustee agrees to deliver on the Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, to the Purchaser and the Servicer an Initial Certifications from the 


 








Custodians (to the extent received by the Indenture Trustee from the Custodians). Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certifications, the Custodians, pursuant to the terms of the related Custodial Agreement, will acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Loan. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodians shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, recordable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face; provided, however, that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodians shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is
sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.  Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, upon receipt of Final Certifications from the Custodians provided for in the Custodial Agreement, the Indenture Trustee cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer such Final Certifications, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.


(c)          If, in the course of such review, the Indenture Trustee is notified by a Custodian that any document constituting a part of a Loan File does not meet the requirements of Exhibit C hereto, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the related Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification.


(d)          The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it is so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute for the related Loan an Eligible Substitute Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(d), or (ii) purchase such Loan within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Repurchase Price of such Loan if such defect materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan or interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that if the cure, substitution or repurchase of a Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery
of any documents by the appropriate recording office, then the Seller shall be given 270 days from the Closing Date to cure such defect or substitute for, or repurchase such Loan; and further provided, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Indenture Trustee or for the Servicer’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any Loan as to which such Assignment of Mortgage is not recorded.  Pursuant to the applicable Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver written notice to the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the
related Mortgage is returned to the related Custodian. Any substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Indenture Trustee or the related Custodian, of a Request for Release and the Loan File for any such Eligible Substitute Loan. The Repurchase Price for any such Loan repurchased by the Seller shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the related Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Servicing 


 








Agreement and, upon receipt of such deposit, the related Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the related Custodial Agreement, will release the related Loan File to the Seller and will execute and deliver at the Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, representation and warranty or as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or its designee, the interest of the Purchaser, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee in any Loan released pursuant hereto.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Loan which does not meet the requirements of this Section shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Indenture Trustee, the Purchaser and any Noteholder or Certificateholder against the Seller.


(e)          All of the Loan Files are being held pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Loan Files pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall be performed by the Custodians.  In connection with the assignment of any Loan registered on the MERS® System, the related Custodian shall cause, at the related Servicer’s expense, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with this Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders by including
(or deleting, in the case of Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code “[IDENTIFY INDENTURE TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]” in the field “[IDENTIFY THE FIELD NAME FOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE]” which identifies the Indenture Trustee and (b) the code “[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]” in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Notes issued in connection with such Loans.  Indenture Trustee agrees that it will not alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Loan during the term of this Loan Purchase Agreement unless and until such Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Loan Purchase Agreement..

(iii)         No Conflicts.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Loan Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on Seller or its properties or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Seller, except those conflicts, breaches or defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to enter into this Loan Purchase Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;


(iv)         No Consent.

Further, it is not intended that the conveyance be deemed to be the grant of a security interest in the Initial Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation.  However, in the event that the Initial Loans are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Loan Purchase Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Initial Loans, then (i) this Loan Purchase Agreement shall be a security agreement within
the meaning of Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyances provided for in Section shall be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of, and the Seller does hereby grant to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Initial Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Loan Files and including any Eligible Substitute Loans; (B) all pool insurance policies, hazard insurance policies and bankruptcy bonds relating to the foregoing, (C) all amounts payable after the Cut-off Date to the holders of the Initial Loans in accordance with the terms thereof; (D) all income, payments, proceeds and products of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property; (E)
