    4.  Administration

    (a)  Procedure.

     

    (i)  Multiple
      Administrative Bodies.
      Different
      Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer
      the Plan.

     

    (ii)  Section 162(m).
      To the extent that
      the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards or Options
      granted hereunder as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of
      Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee
      of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
      the Code.

     

    (iii)  Rule
      16b-3.
      To the extent
      desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the
      transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the
      requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

     

    (iv)  Other
      Administration.
      Other than as
      provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a
      Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)  Powers
      of the
      Administrator.
      Subject to the
      provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific
      duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have
      the authority, in its discre-tion:

     

    (i)  to
      select the
      Service Providers to whom Awards or Options may be granted
      hereunder;

     

    (ii)  to
      determine the
      number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award or Option granted
      hereunder;

     

    (iii)  to
      approve forms of
      agreement for use under the Plan;

     

    (iv)  to
      determine the
      terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award
      or Option granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not
      limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised
      (which may be based on performance criteria), the time or times when Awards
      vest
      (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver
      of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any
      Award or Option or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each
      case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall
      determine;

     

    (v)  to
      construe and
      interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

     

    (vi)  to
      prescribe, amend
      and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and
      regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying
      applicable foreign laws;

     

    (vii)  to
      modify or amend
      each Award or Option (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the
      discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period
      of
      Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; provided, however,
      that the Administrator shall not reduce the exercise price of Options or cancel
      any outstanding Option and replace it with a new Option with a lower exercise
      price, where the economic effect would be the same as reducing the exercise
      price of the cancelled Option, without the approval of the Company’s
      shareholders;

     

    (viii)  to
      allow Awardees or
      Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company
      withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or vesting
      of
      an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
      amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
      withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
      is to be determined. All elections by an Awardee or Optionee to have Shares
      withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
      as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

     

    (ix)  to
      authorize any
      person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect
      the
      grant of an Award or Option previously granted by the Administrator;
      and

     

    (x)  to
      make all other
      determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the
      Plan.

    (c)  Effect
      of
      Administrator's Decision.
      The
      Administrator's decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final
      and
      binding on all Awardees and Optionees and any other holders of Awards or
      Options.

     

    5.  Eligibility.
      Nonstatutory Stock
      Options and Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options
      may be granted only to Employees.

     

    6.  Limitations.

     

    (a)  Each
      Option shall be
      designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
      Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the
      extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which
      Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee
      during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or
      Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory
      Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options
      shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair
      Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with
      respect to such Shares is granted.

     

    (b)  Neither
      the Plan nor
      any Award or Option shall confer upon an Awardee or Optionee any right with
      respect to continuing that individual’s relationship as a Service Provider with
      the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Awardee’s or
      Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any
      time, with or without cause. 

     

    (c)  The
      following
      limitations shall apply to grants of Awards and Options:

     

    (i)  No
      Service Provider
      shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options and Awards covering
      more than 300,000 Shares.

     

    (ii)  In
      connection with
      his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options and Awards
      covering an additional 450,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit
      set forth in subsection (i) above.

     

    (iii)  The
      foregoing
      limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change
      in
      the Company's capitalization as described in Section 13.

     

    (iv)  If
      an Award or
      Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was
      granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section13),
      the cancelled Option or Award will be counted against the limits set forth
      in
      subsections (i) and (ii) above. 

     

    7.      
      Stock
      Awards.
      Awards may be
      granted either alone or in addition to Options granted under the Plan. Upon
      each
      vesting date, provided that the Awardee is then a Service Provider, the Awardee
      shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares vested without payment of
      any
      consideration to the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
      Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Awardees will have full voting
      rights and be entitled to regular cash dividends with respect to the Shares
      subject to their Awards. An Award Agreement may provide that certain
      restrictions will apply to any such dividends.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    8.  Term
      of
      Plan.
      Subject to
      Section 19 of
      the Plan, the
      Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue
      in
      effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under
      Section 15 of the Plan.

     

    9.  Term
      of Award or
      Option.
      The term of each
      Award or Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter
      term as may be provided in the Award Agreement or Option Agreement. However,
      in
      the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time
      the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten
      percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
      the
      Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option
      shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may
      be
      provided in the Option Agreement.

     

    10.  Option
      Exercise
      Price and Consideration.

     

    (a)  Exercise
      Price.
      The per share
      exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option
      shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

     

    (i)  In
      the case of an
      Incentive Stock Option

     

    (A)  granted
      to an
      Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock
      representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes
      of
      stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price
      shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
      grant.

     

    (B)  granted
      to any
      Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above,
      the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market
      Value
      per Share on the date of grant.

     

    (ii)  In
      the case of a
      Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
      100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

     

    (iii)  Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than
      100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a
      merger or consolidation of or by the Company with or into another corporation,
      the purchase or acquisition of property or stock by the Company of another
      corporation, any spin-off or other distribution of stock or property by the
      Company or another corporation, any reorganization of the Company, or any
      partial or complete liquidation of the Company, if such action by the Company
      or
      other corporation results in a significant number of Employees or employees
      being transferred to a new employer or discharged, or in the creation or
      severance of the Parent-Subsidiary relationship.

     

    (b)  Waiting
      Period
      and Exercise Dates.
      At the time an
      Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the
      Option may be exercised and shall determine any con-ditions that must be
      satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

     

    (c)  Form
      of
      Consideration.
      The Administrator
      shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option,
      including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option,
      the
      Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time
      of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (i)  cash;

     

    (ii)  check;

     

    (iii)  promissory
      note;

     

    (iv)  other
      Shares which,
      in the case of Shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company,
      (A) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on
      the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
      surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said
      Option shall be exercised;

     

    (v)  consideration
      received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the
      Company in connection with the Plan;

     

    (vi)  a
      reduction in the
      amount of any Company liability to the Optionee, including any liability
      attributable to the Optionee's participation in any Company-sponsored deferred
      compensation program or arrangement;

     

    (vii)  any
      combination of
      the foregoing methods of payment; or

     

    (viii)  such
      other
      consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent
      permitted by Applicable Laws.

     

    11.  Exercise
      of
      Option;
      Vesting of
      Awards.

     

    (a)  Procedure
      for
      Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.
      Any Option granted
      hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such
      times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set
      forth
      in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting
      of
      Awards and Options granted hereunder shall be suspended during any unpaid leave
      of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
      Share.

     

    An
      Option shall be
      deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic
      notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person
      entitled to exercise the Option or such person’s authorized agent, and
      (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
      exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
      authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the
      Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name
      of
      the Optionee. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate
      entry
      on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
      Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
      shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding
      the
      exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
      Shares promptly after the Option is exercised or the vesting date of an Award.
      No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record
      date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Sections
      7 and 13 of
      the
      Plan.

     

    Exercising
      an Option
      in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both
      for
      purposes of the Plan and for delivery under the Award or Option, by the number
      of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)  Termination
      of
      Relationship as a Service Provider.
      If an Optionee
      ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death or
      Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period
      of
      time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option
      is
      vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration
      of
      the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence
      of
      a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable
      for three (3) months following the Optionee's termination. If an Awardee ceases
      to be a Service Provider, for any reason, all unvested Shares covered by his
      or
      her Award shall be forfeited. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee
      or
      Awardee is not vested as to his or her entire Option or Award, the Shares
      covered by the unvested portion of the Option or Award shall revert to the
      Plan.
      If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within
      the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the
      Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 

     

    (c)  Disability
      of
      Optionee.
      If an Optionee
      ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the
      Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is
      specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the
      date
      of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
      Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified
      time
      in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12)
      months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination,
      the
      Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by
      the
      unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
      the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
      herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
      revert to the Plan.

     

    (d)  Death
      of
      Optionee.
      If an Optionee
      dies while a Service Provider or within thirty (30) days (or such longer period
      of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the Administrator),
      the Option may be exercised following the Optionee's death within such period
      of
      time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option
      is
      vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later
      than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
      Agreement), by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the
      person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will
      or
      in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of
      a
      specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable
      for
      twelve (12) months following Optionee's death. If, at the time of death,
      Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by
      the
      unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the
      Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
      terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the
      Plan.

     

    12.  Transferability
      of Awards
      and
      Options.
      Unless determined
      otherwise by the Administrator, an Award or Option may not be sold, pledged,
      assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than
      by
      will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during
      the
      lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes
      an
      Award or Option transferable, suchAward or Option shall contain such additional
      terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

     

    13.  Adjustments;
      Dissolution; Merger or Change in Control.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (a)  Adjustments.
      In the event that
      any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
      securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
      split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
      repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other
      change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs,
      the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits
      or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, may (in
      its
      sole discretion) adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered
      under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each
      outstanding Award and Option and the numerical limits of Section 6.

     

    (b)  Dissolution
      or
      Liquidation.
      In the event of
      the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall
      notify each Awardee and Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective
      date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may
      provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until
      ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered
      thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
      exercisable. The Administrator in its discretion may provide that the vesting
      of
      an Award accelerate at any time prior to such transaction. To the extent it
      has
      not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to
      the
      consummation of such proposed action, and unvested Shares subject to an Award
      will be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
      action.

     

    (c)  Merger
      or Change
      in Control.
      In the event of a
      merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control,
      each outstanding Award and Option shall be assumed or an equivalent award,
      option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
      Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event the successor corporation
      does not agree to assume the Award or Option, or substitute an equivalent option
      or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution,
      provide for the Awardee or Optionee to have the right to vest in and exercise
      the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the
      Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and in the case of an
      Award, to accelerate the vesting of the Award. If the Administrator makes an
      Option fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in
      the
      event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the
      Optionee that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period
      of
      fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate
      upon the expiration of such period. If, in such a merger or Change in Control,
      the Award or Option is assumed or an equivalent award or option or right is
      substituted by such successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such
      successor corporation, and if during a one-year period after the effective
      date
      of such merger or Change in Control, the awardee’s or Optionee's status as a
      Service Provider is terminated for any reason other than the Awardee’s or
      Optionee's voluntary termination of such relationship, then (i) in the case
      of
      an Option, the Optionee shall have the right within three (3) months thereafter
      to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as
      to
      which the Option would not be otherwise exercisable, effective as of the date
      of
      such termination and (ii) in the case of an Award, the Award shall be fully
      vested on the date of such termination.

     

    For
      the purposes of
      this subsection (c), the Award or Option shall be considered assumed if,
      following the merger or Change in Control, the option or right confers the
      right
      to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Award
      or
      Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or Change
      in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
      property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common
      Stock
      for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
      were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by
      the
      holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
      such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely
      common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator
      may,
      with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration
      to
      be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock
      subject to the Option, and upon the vesting of an Award, for each Share of
      Awarded Stock, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
      Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
      holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

    14.  Date
      of
      Grant.
      Except for
      Optionsgranted to Outside Directors under Section 15 hereof, the date of grant
      of an Award or Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the
      Administrator makes the determination granting such Award or Option, or such
      other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the
      determination shall be provided to each Awardee and Optionee within a reasonable
      time after the date of such grant.

     

    15.  Option
      Grants to
      Outside Directors.
      All grants of
      Options to Outside Directors shall be automatic and non-discretionary and shall
      be made strictly in accordance with the following provisions:

     

    (i)  No
      person shall have
      any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be granted Options or
      to
      determine the number of Shares to be covered by Options granted to Outside
      Directors.

     

    (ii)  Each
      Outside
      Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 15,000 Shares
      (the
      "First
      Option")
      upon the date on
      which such person first becomes a Director, whether through election by the
      shareholders of the Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill
      a
      vacancy.

     

    (iii)  After
      a First Option
      has been granted to any Outside Director, each Outside Director shall thereafter
      be automatically granted an Option to purchase 7,500 Shares (a "Subsequent
      Option")
      on the day of
      each subsequent annual shareholders meeting at which such Outside Director
      is
      reelected to an additional term; provided, however, that no Subsequent Option
      shall be granted for the first annual shareholders meeting following the grant
      of a First Option to any director.

     

    (iv)  In
      the event that
      the number of Shares remaining available for grant under the Plan is less than
      the number of Shares required for an automatic grant pursuant to either
      subsection (ii) or (iii) hereof, then each such automatic grant shall be for
      that number of Shares determined by dividing the total number of Shares
      remaining available for grant by the number of Outside Directors on the
      automatic grant date. Any further automatic grants shall then be deferred until
      such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the
      Plan through action to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under
      the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options previously granted
      under the Plan.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (v)  The
      terms of an
      Option granted hereunder shall be consistent with the requirements set forth
      elsewhere in this plan, except that the Option shall become exercisable in
      installments cumulatively with respect to 1/36 of the Shares for each complete
      calendar month after the date of grant of such Option. 

     

    (vi)  The
      number of Shares
      granted pursuant to subsections (ii) and (iii) hereof shall be adjusted
      proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization
      as
      described in Section 13.

     

    16.  Amendment
      and
      Termination of the Plan.

     

    (a)  Amendment
      and
      Termination.
      The Board may at
      any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. The Board may not
      materially alter the Plan without shareholder approval, including by increasing
      the benefits accrued to participants under the Plan; increasing the number
      of
      securities which may be issued under the Plan; modifying the requirements for
      participation in the Plan; or including a provision allowing the Board to lapse
      or waive restrictions at its discretion.

     

    (b)  Shareholder
      Approval.
      The Company shall
      obtain shareholder approval of this Plan amendment to the extent necessary
      and
      desirable to comply with Applicable Laws and paragraph (c) below. 

     

    (c)  Effect
      of
      Amendment or Termination.
      No amendment,
      alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Award or Option shall
      (i) impair the rights of any Awardee or Optionee, unless mutually agreed
      otherwise between the Awardee or Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement
      must be in writing and signed by the Awardee or Optionee and the Company or
      (ii)
      permit the reduction of the exercise price of an Option after it has been
      granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 13), unless approved
      by
      the Company’s shareholders. Neither may the Administrator, without the approval
      of the Company’s shareholders, cancel any outstanding Option and replace it with
      a new Option with a lower exercise price, where the economic effect would be
      the
      same as reducing the exercise price of the cancelled Option. Termination of
      the
      Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted
      to it hereunder with respect to Awards and Options granted under the Plan prior
      to the date of such termination. Any increase in the number of shares subject
      to
      the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 13 hereof, shall be approved by the
      Company’s shareholders.

     

    17.  Conditions
      Upon
      Issuance of Shares;
      Deferred
      Compensation Legislation.

     

    (a)  Legal
      Compliance.
      Shares shall not
      be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the vesting of an Award
      unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares
      shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval
      of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Plan is intended
      to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Awards and
      Options granted under the Plan may be amended for puposes of such
      compliance.

     

    (b)  Investment
      Representations.
      As a condition to
      the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such
      Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares
      are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to
      sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
      such a representation is required.

      The inability of
      the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
      which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
      issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
      liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
      such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

     

    19.  Reservation
      of
      Shares.
      The Company,
      during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available
      such
      number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the
      Plan.

     

    20.  Shareholder
      Approval.
      The Plan shall be
      subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months
      after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
      in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

    A.  Grant
      of
      Option.

     

    The
      Plan
      Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice
      of Grant attached as Part I of this Agreement (the “Optionee”) an option
      (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of
      Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the
      “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is
      incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in
      the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the
      terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of
      the
      Plan shall prevail.

     

    If
      designated in the
      Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to
      qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.
      However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the
      extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it shall be
      treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).

     

    B.  Exercise
      of
      Option.

     

    (a)  Right
      to
      Exercise.

      Agreement.

      as
Exhibit

      the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the
      “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be
      required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise
      Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company. The
      Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
      as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
      receipt by the Company of the Exercise Price.

     

    No
      Shares shall be
      issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise
      complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes
      the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the
      date
      the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

      Payment.

     

    Payment
      of the
      aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination
      thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

     

    1.  cash;
      or

     

    2.  check;
      or

     

    3.  consideration
      received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the
      Company in connection with the Plan; or 

     

    4.  surrender
      of other
      Shares which (i) in the case of Shares acquired either directly or
      indirectly from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more than
      six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market
      Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
      Exercised Shares.

     

    D.  Non-Transferability
      of Option.

     

    This
      Option may not
      be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
      or
      distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the

      this Option Agreement.

     

    F.  Tax
      Obligations.

     

    (a)  Withholding
      Taxes.
      Optionee agrees to
      make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary
      employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state,
      local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable
      to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may
      refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
      amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

     

    (b)  Notice
      of
      Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares.
      If the Option
      granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
      disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the
      later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the
      date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify
      the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may
      be
      subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
      recognized by the Optionee.

    The
      Plan is
      incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement

    AMENDED
      AND RESTATED MORTGAGE
      LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

    

    This
      is
      an Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”),
      dated August 31, 2006, as amended and restated to and including November 9,
      2006, between Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Seller”) and Nomura Home Equity Loan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Purchaser”).

    

    Preliminary
      Statement

    

    The
      Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter identified) and the
      Swap Agreement to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions
      set
      forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans
      into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced
      by a single series of asset-backed certificates designated as Nomura Home Equity
      Loan, Inc., Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE3, Asset-Backed Certificates
      (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of nineteen (19) classes of
      certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
      Servicing Agreement for Series 2006-HE3, dated as of August 1, 2006 (the
“Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wells
      Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer and securities administrator (“Wells
      Fargo”),
      Ocwen
      Loan Servicing, LLC as a servicer (“Ocwen”), the Seller as sponsor, and HSBC
      Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Purchaser will
      sell the Class I-A-1, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4,
      Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7,
      Class M-8, Class M-9, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates to Nomura Securities
      International, Inc. (“NSII”) and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (“Greenwich”,
      together with NSII, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated
      Underwriting Agreement, dated June 1, 2006, between the Purchaser and NSII,
      and
      the Terms Agreement, dated August 29, 2006 (collectively, the “Underwriting
      Agreement”), among the Purchaser and the Underwriters. Capitalized terms used
      but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and
      Servicing Agreement. Pursuant to the custodial agreement, dated as of August
      1,
      2006 (the “Custodial Agreement”), among the Trustee, Ocwen, Wells Fargo as a
      servicer (together with Ocwen, each individually a “Servicer” and together, the
“Servicers”) and Wells Fargo as custodian (the “Custodian”), the Trustee intends
      to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes,
      along
      with certain other documents specified in the Custodial Agreement, as the
      custodian of the Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions
      thereof.

    

    The
      parties hereto agree as follows:

    

    SECTION
      1.   Agreement
      to Purchase.
      The
      Seller hereby sells, and the Purchaser hereby purchases, on August 31, 2006
      (the
“Closing Date”), (a) certain conventional, one-to four family, fixed-rate and
      adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by first and second liens on residential
      real properties (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as
      of the close of business on August 1, 2006 (the “Cut-off Date”) of approximately
      $1,074,928,098 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due
      on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received,
      including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors
      in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans and (b)
      the
      swap agreement, dated as of August 31, 2006, between Swiss Re Financial Products
      Corporation, as the swap provider and HSBC Bank USA, National Association,
      as
      trustee for the Supplemental Interest Trust (the “Swap Agreement”).

    

    SECTION
      2.   Mortgage
      Loan Schedule.
      The
      Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned
      by
      the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
      and
      the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing
      Date
      a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) that describes such Mortgage Loans and
      sets forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement,
      including the Prepayment Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform to the
      requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan
      Schedule” under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

    

    SECTION
      3.   Consideration.

    

    (a)  In
      consideration for the Mortgage Loans and the Swap Agreement to be purchased
      hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 10, (i) pay to or upon
      the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the “Purchase
      Price”) equal to (i) $____________*
      and (ii)
      a 100% interest in the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class X, Class P and Class R
      certificates (collectively the “Private Certificates”) of which the Class B-1
      and Class B-2 Certificates shall be registered in the name of the Underwriters
      and the Class X, Class P and Class R certificates shall be registered solely
      in
      the name of NSII.

    

    (b)  The
      Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall be
      entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the Cut-off Date,
      all
      other payments of principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date, and all
      payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period after the
      Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before
      the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the
      Seller.

    

    (c)  Pursuant
      to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of its
      right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Swap Agreement,
      together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit
      of
      the Certificateholders.

    

    SECTION
      4.   Transfer
      of the Mortgage Loans.

    

    (a)  Possession
      of Mortgage Files.
      The
      Seller does hereby sell to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the
      terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under
      the Mortgage Loans, including the related Prepayment Charges, and the Swap
      Agreement. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser
      or
      to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the
      Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of
      the
      Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the
      sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related
      Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the
      Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the
      related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller
      on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall
      be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the
      Purchaser.

    

    (b)  Delivery
      of Mortgage Loan Documents.
      Pursuant
      to various conveyance documents to be executed on the Closing Date and pursuant
      to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign on the Closing
      Date all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to the
      Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. In connection with the
      transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller has delivered or
      will
      deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing Date or such
      later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller (each of the Closing
      Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage
      File Delivery Date”),
      the
      documents set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, provided,
      however,
      that in
      lieu of the foregoing, the Seller may deliver the following documents, under
      the
      circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage, assignments
      to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered,
      are
      being delivered or will upon receipt of recording information relating to the
      Mortgage required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices
      for
      recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as
      specified above, the Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification
      by the Seller on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to
      be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for
      recording;” (y) in lieu of the Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or
      intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the
      originals of such documents or if the originals are lost (in each case, as
      evidenced by a certification from the Seller to such effect), the Seller may
      deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification
      by
      the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such
      documents were recorded; and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to
      the
      Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by the Purchaser to the
      Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit
      2
      the
      Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of the Seller; and
      provided further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been
      prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the
      Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee
      a
      certification by the Seller to such effect. The Seller shall deliver such
      original documents (including any original documents as to which certified
      copies had previously been delivered) or such certified copies to the Trustee
      promptly after they are received. The Seller shall cause the Mortgage and
      intervening assignments, if any, and the assignment of the Mortgage to be
      recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, or, in lieu of such
      assignments, shall provide an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6 hereof
      to
      the effect that the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect
      the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan. Upon the request of the
      Purchaser, the Seller will assist the Purchaser in effecting the assignment
      referred to above.

     

    (c)  In
      connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS®
System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own
      expense, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to
      indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the
      Purchaser and by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with this 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 will not, and will not permit the Servicers to alter
      the
      codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
      the
      term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage
      Loan
      is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement.

    

    (d)  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 or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted
      to
      be delivered after the Closing Date, within seven (7) 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.

    

    (e)  Transfer
      of Interest in Agreements.
      The
      Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, 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
      assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
      Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
      in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
      will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.

    

    SECTION
      5.   Examination
      of Mortgage Files.
      

    

    (a)  On
      or
      before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Seller will have made the Mortgage
      Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be
      at
      the offices of the Trustee or the Seller and/or the Seller’s custodians. The
      fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct
      any
      partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the
      Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as
      provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall
      make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to
      time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Seller’s compliance with the
      delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and
      Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller
      agrees to provide to the Purchaser, the Underwriters and to any investors or
      prospective investors in the Certificates information regarding the Mortgage
      Loans and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans
      for
      discussions with the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or
      prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular business hours,
      sufficient to permit the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or
      potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any such party reasonably
      believes is appropriate.

    

    (b)  Pursuant
      to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Custodian on
      behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will review
      items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit
      1
      and will
      deliver to the Seller a certification in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to
      the
      Custodial Agreement.

    

    (c)  Pursuant
      to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf
      of the Trustee, will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing
      Date and will deliver to the Seller a final certification substantially in
      the
      form of Exhibit 2 to the Custodial Agreement. If the Custodian is unable to
      deliver a final certification with respect to the items listed in Exhibit
      2
      due to
      any document that is missing, has not been executed or is unrelated, determined
      on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number,
      to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule (a
“Material
      Defect”),
      pursuant to Section 6 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify
      the
      Trustee of such Material Defect and the Trustee shall notify the Seller of
      such
      Material Defect. The Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect
      within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the Material
      Defect and if the Seller does not correct or cure such Material Defect within
      such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests
      of
      the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller will, in
      accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within ninety
      (90) days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage
      Loan (if within two (2) years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related
      Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if
      such
      defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original
      security instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy
      because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been
      returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to
      purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents
      or
      certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after
      the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the
      event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document
      submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable
      jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office;
      provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such
      recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate of the
      Seller or a Servicing Officer confirming that such documents have been accepted
      for recording, and delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by the Seller
      within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the original recorded
      document.

    

    (d)  At
      the
      time of any substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered
      the
      Replacement Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents
      and
      payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant
      to
      the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or
      substitution, the Trustee shall (i) assign to the Seller and cause the
      Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to release the documents (including, but
      not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage
      File) in the possession of the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, relating
      to
      the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of
      transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
      to
      vest in the Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

    

    SECTION
      6.  Recordation
      of Assignments of Mortgage.

    

    (a)  The
      Seller will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each
      assignment of Mortgage from the Seller to the Trustee, and all unrecorded
      intervening assignments, if any, delivered on or prior to the Closing Date,
      to
      be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related
      Mortgaged Properties are located; provided,
      however,
      the
      Seller need not cause to be recorded any assignment for which (a) the related
      Mortgaged Property is located in (a) any jurisdiction under the laws of which,
      as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee
      and
      the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to
      protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) MERS is
      identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage
      as mortgagee of record solely as nominee for Seller and its successors and
      assigns; provided,
      however,
      notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of
      Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described
      above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur
      of
      (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
      Interests aggregating not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Trust,
      (ii)
      the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
      insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a
      servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement or (v) with respect to any assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence
      of a
      bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the
      related Mortgage.

    

    (b)  While
      each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Seller
      shall leave or cause to be left with the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
      a
      certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180
      days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion
      of
      Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to
      each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof
      or as
      set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure
      to
      provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered
      a
      Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. All
      customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation
      of
      the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the
      case may be, shall be borne by the Seller.

    

    SECTION
      7.  Representations,
      Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.

    

    The
      Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof

    (i)  The
      Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
      under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified and in good standing
      to
      do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except
      where the failure so to qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a
      material adverse effect on the Seller’s business as presently conducted or on
      the Seller’s ability to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
      transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    (ii)  The
      Seller has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this
      Agreement, has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement,
      assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes
      a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against it
      in
      accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited
      by
      bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or by general principles of
      equity.

     

    (iii)  The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller (x) does
      not
      conflict and will not conflict with, does not breach and will not result in
      a
      breach of and does not constitute and will not constitute a default (or an
      event, which with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default)
      under (A) any terms or provisions of the organizational documents of the Seller,
      (B) any term or provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or
      indenture, to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller or any of
      its

      which would have a material adverse effect upon the Mortgage Loans or any
      documents or instruments evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loans.

     

    

    (iv)  No
      consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with,
      or

      of
      the Certificates.

      Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby taken
      in
      the aggregate do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit
      to
      state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
      misleading.

     

    (vi)  The
      Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement
      by the Seller and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
      Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree
      of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or
      governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which
      violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect
      the
      condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the Seller or its assets
      or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
      performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.

     

    (vii)  The
      Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that
      it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this
      Agreement.

     

    (viii)  Immediately
      prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as herein contemplated,
      the Seller was the owner of the related Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced
      by the related Mortgage Note, and, upon the payment to the Seller of the
      Purchase Price, in the event that the Seller retains or has retained record
      title, the Seller shall retain such record title to each Mortgage, each related
      Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with respect thereto in trust
      for
      the Purchaser as the owner thereof from and after the date hereof.

     

    (ix)  There
      are
      no actions or proceedings against, or investigations known to it of, the Seller
      before any court, administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit
      its
      entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage
      Loans by the Seller or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
      this
      Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect the
      performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or validity or
      enforceability of, this Agreement.

      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
      ordinary course of business of the Seller, and the transfer, assignment and
      conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller pursuant to

      provisions in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, except any as may have been
      complied with.

     

    

    (xi)  The
      Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person,
      except for the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, that may be entitled to
      any
      commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans
      (except that an entity that previously financed the Seller’s ownership of the
      Mortgage Loans may be entitled to a fee to release its security interest in
      the
      Mortgage Loans, which fee shall have been paid and which security interest
      shall
      have been released on or prior to the Closing Date).

     

    (xii)  There
      is
      no litigation currently pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge
      without independent investigation, threatened against the Seller that would
      reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans,
      the issuance of the Certificates or the execution, delivery, performance or
      enforceability of this Agreement, or that would result in a material adverse
      change in the financial condition of the Seller.

     

    (xiii)  The Seller
      is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing
      Act.

     

    SECTION
      8.  Representations
      and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Mortgage Loans.

    

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

    

    (i)  Information
      provided to the Rating Agencies, including the loan level detail, is true and
      correct according to the Rating Agency requirements;

     

    (ii)  No
      fraud
      has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor or any other party involved in
      the
      origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan;

     

    (iii)  No
      Monthly Payment required to be made under any Mortgage Loan has been, or will
      be, contractually delinquent by one month or more on, or at any time preceding,
      the date such Mortgage Loan was purchased by the Seller;

     

    (iv)  Neither
      the Seller nor the related originator of the Mortgage Loan has advanced any
      Monthly Payment required under the terms of the Mortgage Note;

     

    (v)  There
      are
      no delinquent taxes, assessment liens or insurance premiums affecting the
      related Mortgaged Property;

     

    (vi)  The
      terms
      of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been materially impaired, waived,
      altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded
      in
      the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien
      priority of the Mortgage. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
      modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
      by
      the related policy. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
      in connection with an assumption agreement (approved by the title insurer to
      the
      extent required by the policy) and which assumption agreement has been delivered
      to the Trustee;

     

    (vii)  The
      Mortgaged Property is insured against loss by fire and hazards of extended
      coverage (excluding earthquake insurance) in an amount which is at least equal
      to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to compensate for any damage or loss
      to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost
      basis or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. If the
      Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood
      insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
      special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a
      flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
      the
      Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. All such insurance policies
      contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan,
      its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the Seller has not engaged in any
      act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such insurance policies.
      Except as may be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
      thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense,
      and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
      to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
      reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

     

    (viii)  Any
      and
      all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
      limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
      credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, predatory, fair
      lending or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the
      Mortgage Loans have been complied with in all material respects, and the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
      violation of any such laws;

     

    (ix)  The
      Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated (other than with
      respect to second lien Mortgage Loans, the subordination to the first lien)
      or
      rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
      from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument
      been
      executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
      rescission or release;

     

    (x)  The
      Mortgage was recorded or was submitted for recording in accordance with all
      applicable laws and is a valid, existing and enforceable perfected first or
      second lien on the Mortgaged Property including all improvements on the
      Mortgaged Property, subject only to (a) the lien of the current real property
      taxes and (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way and
      easements;

     

    (xi)  The
      Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid
      and binding obligation of the maker thereof, insured under the related title
      policy, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
      that
      the enforceability thereof may be limited by a bankruptcy, insolvency or
      reorganization;

     

    (xii)  The
      Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note
      and the Mortgage and has the full right to convey, transfer and sell the
      Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien
      (other than with respect to second lien Mortgage Loans, the subordination to
      the
      first lien), pledge, charge, claim or security interest and immediately upon
      the
      sale, assignment and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the
      Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible title to and be the
      sole legal owner of the Mortgage Loans subject only to any encumbrance, equity,
      lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest arising out of the Purchaser’s
      actions;

     

    (xiii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan is covered by a valid and binding American Land Title Association
      lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer qualified to do
      business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, which
      title insurance policy is generally acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
      No
      claims have been filed under such lender’s title insurance policy, and the
      Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage
      of the lender’s title insurance policy;

     

    (xiv)  There
      is
      no material default, breach, violation event or event of acceleration existing
      under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
      of
      time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
      constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,
      and
      the Seller has not, nor has its predecessors, waived any material default,
      breach, violation or event of acceleration;

     

    (xv)  There
      are
      no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
      or material provided to the related Mortgaged Property prior to the origination
      of the Mortgage Loan which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
      with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except as may be disclosed in the
      related title policy;

     

    (xvi)  Except
      with respect to approximately 15.94% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate
      principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are balloon loans and
      approximately 19.54% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate principal balance as
      of
      the Cut-off Date, which are interest only loans, each Mortgage Note is payable
      on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and
      interest (subject to adjustment in the case of the adjustable rate Mortgage
      Loans), with interest calculated on a 30/360 basis and payable in arrears,
      sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date
      over
      an original term from commencement of amortization to not more than thirty
      (30)
      years and no Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization;

     

    (xvii)  The
      servicing practices used in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
      have been in all respects reasonable and customary in the mortgage servicing
      industry of like mortgage loan servicers, servicing mortgage loans similar
      to
      the Mortgage Loans in the same jurisdiction as the Mortgaged
      Property;

     

    (xviii)  At
      the
      time of origination of the Mortgage Loan there was no proceeding pending for
      the
      total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and, as of the date
      such
      Mortgage Loan was purchased by the Purchaser, to the best of the Purchaser’s
      knowledge there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
      of the Mortgaged Property;

     

    (xix)  The
      Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
      such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
      the
      realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
      provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a
      deed
      of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial

      nor
      will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage,
      or
      the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
      Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of
      rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
      the
      defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
      defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

      environmental law, rule or regulation is at issue and the Seller has received
      no
      notice of any condition at the Mortgaged Property which is reasonably likely
      to
      give rise to an action or proceeding in which compliance with any environmental
      law, rule or regulation is at issue;

     

    (xxxiii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan is an obligation which is principally secured by an interest
      in
      real property within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section
      1.860G-2(a);

     

    (xxxiv)  Each
      Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a first or second lien on, and consists
      of
      a single parcel of, real property with a detached one-to-four family residence
      erected thereon, a townhouse or an individual condominium unit in a condominium
      project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development (“PUD”). No
      residence or dwelling is a leasehold, mobile home or a manufactured dwelling
      unless it is an Acceptable Manufactured Dwelling. An “Acceptable Manufactured
      Dwelling” is a manufactured dwelling, which is permanently affixed to a
      foundation and treated as “real estate” under applicable law. No Mortgaged
      Property is used for commercial purposes. Mortgaged Properties which contain
      a
      home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as
      long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes
      and
      is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used
      for
      homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes;

     

    (xxxv)  The
      Mortgage Interest Rate payable by the Mortgagor with respect to the Adjustable
      Rate Mortgage Loans is subject to adjustment at the time and in the amounts
      as
      are set forth in the related Mortgage Note; 

     

    (xxxvi)  The
      first
      scheduled Monthly Payment under the terms of each Mortgage Note was received
      by
      the servicer servicing such Mortgage Loan by the 30th day following the related
      due date;

     

    (xxxvii)  With
      respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, no Mortgagor obtained a prepaid
      single-premium credit-life, credit-disability, credit unemployment or credit
      property insurance policy in connection with the origination of such Group
      I
      Mortgage Loan;

     

    (xxxviii)  To
      the
      best of the Seller’s knowledge, the servicer for each Mortgage Loan has
      accurately and fully reported its borrower credit files to each of the credit
      repositories in a timely manner;

     

    (xxxix)  No
      Mortgage Loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of
      1994
      (“HOEPA”) or any comparable law and no Mortgage Loan is classified and/or
      defined as a “high cost”, “covered” (excluding home loans defined as covered
      home loans” in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 that were
      originated between November 26, 2003 and July 7, 2004), “high risk home” or
“predatory” loan under any other federal, state or local law or regulation or
      ordinance (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under
      a
      law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for
      residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or
      fees);

     

    (xl)  No
      Mortgage Loan was selected from the mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio in
      a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;

     

    (xli)  Each
      Mortgage File contains a full appraisal on form 1004 or 2055 with an interior
      inspection (or the equivalent form for two-to four-family and investor
      properties), or on a similar alternate form which includes substantially similar
      information to that required such forms, as applicable;

     

    (xlii)  Each
      Mortgage Loan is and will be a mortgage loan arising out of the originator’s
      practice in accordance with the originator’s underwriting guidelines;

     

    (xliii)  As
      of the
      Closing Date, the Seller has no knowledge of any fact that should lead it to
      expect that the Mortgage Loan will not be paid in full when due;

     

    (xliv)  No
      Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as applicable (as such
      terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS Version 5.7
      Glossary Revised, Appendix E;

     

    (xlv)  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;

     

    (xlvi)  With
      respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan’s Mortgagor was
      not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by such
      Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less
      creditworthy borrowers, taking into account such facts as, without limitation,
      the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income,
      assets and liabilities and any such Mortgagor
      who
      sought financing through such originator’s higher-priced lending channel, the
      Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the such originator’s standard
      mortgage line if such Mortgagor qualified for one of the standard
      products;

     

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

     

    (xlviii)  With
      respect to Group I Mortgage Loans, no Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” in
      an amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such
      Group I Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this
      representation, “points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker
      and finder’s fees and charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making
      the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the lender or a third party; and
      (y)
      exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in
      connection with the origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys’ fees,
      notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
      title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
      inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments;
      the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local
      transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
      insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges, which
      miscellaneous fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the
      loan
      amount;

     

    (xlix)  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 Mortgage Loan has been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
      with applicable state and federal law and regulation; 

     

    (l)  No
      Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003
      is
      governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act;

     

    (li)  The
      information set forth in the applicable part of the Prepayment Penalty Schedule

      is furnished respecting with such information is furnished, and each prepayment
      penalty is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms upon the
      mortgagor’s full and voluntary principal prepayment under applicable law, 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; (2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to
      acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary prepayment;
      or (3) subsequent changes in applicable law may limit or prohibit enforceability
      thereof;

     

    (lii)  No
      Mortgage Loan contains a provision whereby the Mortgagor can convert an
      Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan into a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan;

     

    (liii)  With
      respect to any Mortgage Loan that is secured by a second lien on the related
      Mortgaged Property, either (i) no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required
      by
      the holder of any related senior lien or (ii) such consent has been obtained
      and
      is contained in the Mortgage File; 

     

    (liv)  With
      respect to a Mortgage Loan which is a second lien, as of the date hereof, the
      Seller has not received a notice of default of a senior lien on the related
      Mortgaged Property which has not been cured;

     

    (lv)  With
      respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
      imposition of a penalty upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage

      in
      exchange for accepting such prepayment penalty, (ii) such Mortgage Loan’s
      originator had a written policy of offering the Mortgagor, or requiring
      third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor the option of obtaining a mortgage

prepayment
      penalty
      was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor pursuant to applicable state and
      federal law, (iv) no Group I Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
      2002 will provide for a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of three years
      and any Group I Mortgage Loan originated prior to such date will not provide
      for
      prepayment penalties for a term in excess of five years; in each case unless
      such Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more
      than
      three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified
      in
      writing of such reduction in prepayment period, and (v) such prepayment penalty
      shall not be imposed in any instance where the mortgage debt is accelerated
      or
      paid off in connection with the workout of a delinquent Group I Mortgage Loan

      Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit the imposition of such
      penalty;

     

    (lvi)  The
      Servicer for each Group I Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, in accordance
      with
      the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and
      complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit

    (lix)  With
      respect to Group I Mortgage Loans, no Mortgage Loan originated on or after

    SECTION
      9.  Repurchase
      Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation and
      Warranty.

    

    (a)  The
      representations and warranties contained in Section 8 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 the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations
      and
      warranties contained herein 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained herein, any breach of a representation or warranty contained in
      clauses (viii), (xxxvii), (xxxix), (xliv), (xlv), (xlvi), (xlvii), (xlviii),

      of
      the Trustee), or of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
      contained in Section 8 that materially and adversely affects the value of any
      Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s
      assignee, transferee or designee, the party discovering such breach shall give
      prompt written notice to the Seller. Within 365 days of its discovery or its
      receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that was not transferred

      the Seller as described above, or of materially defective documentation, or
      within 120 days of 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 cannot cure such defect or breach, the Seller shall, within 365
      days
      of its discovery or receipt of notice of any such missing or materially
      defective documentation or within 120 days of any such breach of a
      representation and warranty, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
      at
      the Purchase Price (as such term is 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 Replacement Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall amend the
      Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms
      of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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 9(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated
      by
      the Purchaser of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section
      2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this
      Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling
      and Servicing Agreement. 

    

    (b)  If
      the
      representation made by the Seller in Section 8(lii) is breached, the Seller
      shall not have the right or obligation to cure, substitute or repurchase the
      affected Mortgage Loan but shall remit to the Servicer servicing such Mortgage
      Loan for deposit in the Collection Account, prior to the next succeeding
      Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of the Prepayment Charge indicated on

      deposit into the Collection Account.

      is
      understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
      Section 9 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan (and to make payments
      pursuant to Section 9(b)) constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against
      the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations
      and
      warranties contained in Section 8.

      received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time of closing), all

      Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the

    SECTION
      13.  Mandatory
      Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
      The
      sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
      Mortgage Loan Schedule and the 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 date hereof and

      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 each document and
      instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by
      the
      Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such
      Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i)
      right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent
      permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be
      delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
      Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be
      released from the security interest created hereby. 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.

      THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW
      YORK
      GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL GOVERN.

    

    SECTION
      19.  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
      by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be
      construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and
      not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans 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
      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 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 and all amounts payable to
      the
      holders of the Mortgage Loans 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 Mortgage
      Notes, 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,
      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.
