    (c)  Interpretation.  Headings
      are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.  The
      following rules of this subsection (c) apply unless the context requires
      otherwise.  The singular includes the plural and
      conversely.  A gender includes all genders.  Where a word or
      phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding
      meaning.  A reference to a subsection, Section, Annex, Exhibit or
      Schedule is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of,
      or Annex, Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement.  A
      reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes
      the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns.  A
      reference to an agreement or document is to the agreement or document as
      amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent
      prohibited by any Transaction Document.  A reference to legislation or
      to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it,
      a
      legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory
      instrument issued under it.  A reference to writing includes a
      facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and
      permanently visible form.  A reference to conduct includes, without
      limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in
      writing.  An Event of Default or a Servicer Default exists until it
      has been waived in writing by the appropriate Person or Persons or has been
      timely cured.  The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar
      words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision
      of
      this Agreement.  The term “including” is not limiting and means
“including without limitation.”  In the computation of periods of time
      from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and
      including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the
      word “through” means “to and including.”  This Agreement may use
      several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or
      similar matters.  All such limitations, tests and measurements are
      cumulative and shall each be performed in accordance with their
      terms.  Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting
      terms not expressly defined herein shall be construed, and all financial
      computations required under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with
      GAAP, consistently applied.  References herein to “fiscal year” and
“fiscal quarter” refer to such fiscal periods of Seller.  Except where
      otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, statement or
      certificate by Agent or Principal or an authorized officer of Agent or Principal
      or any of their Affiliates provided for in this Agreement that is made in good
      faith and in the manner provided for in this Agreement shall be conclusive
      and
      binds the parties in the absence of manifest error.  A reference to an
      agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally
      enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing.  A reference to a
      document includes an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate,
      notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in computer disk
      form.  Where Seller or Servicer is required to provide any document to
      any other Person under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall
      be provided in writing or printed form unless such other Person requests
      otherwise.  At the request of Agent or any Bank Principal, the
      document shall be provided in computer disk form or both printed and computer
      disk form.  This Agreement is the result of negotiations among Agent,
      Principals, Servicer and Seller, and is the product of all
      parties.  In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of
      construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such
      party
      proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of
      this
      Agreement or this Agreement itself.  Except where otherwise expressly
      stated, Agent and any Principal may give or withhold, or give conditionally,
      approvals and consents, may be satisfied or unsatisfied, and may form opinions
      and make determinations at its sole and absolute discretion.  Any
      requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Agent or any Principal
      shall not be construed to require Agent or any Principal to request or await
      receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with
      respect to Seller, Servicer, or any other Person or the Purchased Assets
      themselves.

    3.  ENTERING
      INTO TRANSACTIONS, TRANSACTION NOTICES; CONFIRMATIONS.

     

    (a)  When
      Seller wishes to enter into a proposed Transaction it shall deliver a
      Transaction Notice of such proposed Transaction together with the Daily Servicer
      Report to Agent prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day
      prior to the proposed Purchase Date.  Such Daily Servicer Report shall
      include a Daily Loan Inventory for the Purchased Assets and such other
      information required to be set forth therein or attached thereto.  On
      the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on such Purchase
      Date,
      Seller shall sell and transfer to Agent, against the payment of the Purchase
      Price therefor, and Agent shall purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right,
      title and interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such
      Transaction.  On any Business Day (the “Demand Date”), Seller
      may, on demand, repurchase any and all of the Purchased Assets subject to such
      Transaction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 3(c)
      below, Seller shall repurchase all such Purchased Assets from Agent on the
      10th
      day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) of each month
      following the related Purchase Date (such day so determined for each month,
      the
“Scheduled Repurchase Date”, and/or, if applicable, the Demand Date or
      such other date set forth in a “Supplemental Transaction Notice” pursuant
      to Section 3(c) below are referred to herein as the “Repurchase
      Date” for such Transaction).  In the case of a Transaction (or
      portion thereof) that Seller terminates upon demand, such demand shall be made
      by Seller, no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day
      prior to the Business Day on which such termination will be
      effective.  On each applicable Repurchase Date, the termination of
      such Transaction (or portion thereof) will be effected by transfer to Seller
      (or
      its agent) of the Purchased Assets against the payment of the Repurchase Price
      therefor to Agent; provided, however, that if such Repurchase Date
      is not a Scheduled Repurchase Date, the portion of such Repurchase Price equal
      to the Price Differential may be paid by Seller on the Scheduled Repurchase
      Date.

     

    (b)  Subject
      to the conditions in Section 8(b), each Transaction (or portion thereof)
      that has not been terminated by a repurchase by Seller on a Demand Date, shall
      become subject to a new Transaction unless Agent is notified by Seller no later
      than 4:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day prior to the then
      Scheduled Repurchase Date.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
      this Agreement to the contrary, under  no circumstances may any
      Purchased Asset be included in any Transaction (or series of Transactions)
      if
      the current Repurchase Date for such Transaction occurs on a date that is
      greater than 364 days from the date such Purchased Asset first became subject
      to
      a Transaction under this Agreement.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (c)  In
      the
      event that Seller and Agent desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other
      than as set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Agent shall execute a
“Supplemental Transaction Notice” specifying such terms prior to entering
      into such Transaction.  Any such Supplemental Transaction Notice and
      the related Transaction Notice in the applicable Daily Servicer Report, together
      with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed
      to
      between Agent and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the
      Supplemental Transaction Notice relates.  In the event of any conflict
      between this Agreement and a Supplemental Transaction Notice, the terms of
      the
      Supplemental Transaction Notice shall control with respect to the related
      Transaction.

     

    (d)  Unless
      otherwise consented to in writing by Agent and the Required Principals, the
      number of Transactions with Seller in any calendar day shall not exceed
      one.

     

    4.  PAYMENT
      AND TRANSFER.  Unless otherwise agreed, all transfers of funds by
      any Principal to Seller hereunder shall be in immediately available funds and
      shall be remitted to the Funding Account (which shall be specified in each
      related Daily Servicer Report) and all Purchased Assets transferred shall be
      transferred to the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.  All
      amounts remitted to the Funding Account by or on behalf of any Principal shall
      be distributed from the Funding Account in accordance with the provisions of
      Section 6 hereof. Any Repurchase Price or Price Differential received by
      Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied on the next
      succeeding Business Day and Seller and Servicer, as applicable, shall be
      obligated to pay to Agent (in addition to, and together with, the amount of
      such
      Price Differential and any Breakage Costs) interest on the unpaid Repurchase
      Price at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate until the Price Differential
      is received in full by Agent.  All per annum fees payable under this
      Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be calculated for the actual
      days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  All amounts to be paid
      or deposited by Seller or Servicer under any Transaction Document shall be
      paid
      or deposited in accordance with the terms thereof in immediately available
      funds
      no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due; if such
      amounts are payable to Agent or any Principal or Principals they shall be paid
      to Agent or deposited into the Funding Account and the Agent shall remit such
      amounts as applicable.  Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Law,
      pay to Agent for the account of each Principal upon demand of Agent, interest
      on
      all amounts not paid or deposited when due to Agent for the account of each
      Principal hereunder at a rate equal to the Default Rate.  All
      computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
      360
      days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last
      day) elapsed other than computations of interest calculated by reference to
      the
      Base Rate which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366- day year,
      as
      applicable.

     

    5.  MARGIN
      MAINTENANCE.  If at any time the Aggregate Purchase Price of all
      Purchased Assets of Seller subject to all Transactions shall exceed the
      Aggregate Margin Value therefor (any such deficiency, a “Margin Deficit”)
      then Seller shall either transfer cash to the Funding Account, or at Agent’s
      option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), transfer
      additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to the Custodian, together with the Related
      Security, Records, Servicing Rights and other collateral and all instruments,
      chattel paper, and general intangibles comprising or related to all of the
      foregoing (“Additional Purchased Assets”), so that after giving effect to
      the transfer of cash or the inclusion of any such Additional Purchased Assets,
      no Margin Deficit shall exist (such requirement, a “Margin Call”);
provided that if, as a result of Agent’s determination of the aggregate
      Collateral Value, the Aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets of Seller
      subject to all Transactions exceeds the Aggregate Margin Value by the Minimum
      Transfer Amount (such event, a “Minimum Transfer Condition”)
      (i) Seller shall be required to transfer cash to the Margin Call Account to
      cure such Margin Deficit and (ii) Seller’s obligation to make the Margin
      Call shall be subject to its receipt of notice from Agent (it being
      understood that if such notice is delivered to Seller by Agent on or prior
      to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day on which a Minimum Transfer Condition
      exists, Seller shall pay to the Margin Call Account the Minimum Transfer Amount
      prior to 5:00 p.m. on such Business Day and if such notice is delivered
      after 11:00 a.m., such notice shall be deemed received on the next
      succeeding Business Day and Seller shall pay to the Margin Call Account the
      Minimum Transfer Amount prior to 5:00 p.m. on such Business
      Day).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    All
      amounts paid by Seller to the Margin Call Account in respect of any Margin
      Deficit shall be held for the benefit of Agent and the Principals.

     

    On
      any
      day on which an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing,
      and
      if no Margin Deficit exists, if the amount on deposit in the Margin Call Account
      exceeds the Aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets of Seller subject
      to all Transactions less the Aggregate Margin Value then, at the request of
      Seller, such excess shall be withdrawn from the Margin Call Account by the
      authorization of Agent and remitted to Seller.

     

    If
      an
      Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all amounts on deposit
      in the Margin Call Account, if any, shall be withdrawn by Agent and applied
      by
      it in reduction of the Aggregate Purchase Price and Aggregate
      Unpaids.

     

    6.  INCOME
      PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS.  The Seller shall cause all Collections
      and other proceeds of the Collateral received by the Seller to be remitted
      to
      the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after the Seller’s receipt
      thereof.

     

    The
      Seller shall, on a daily basis, remit all Collections (other than Income) then
      on deposit in the Collection Account to the Funding Account.

     

    The
      Seller shall, on each Monthly Interest Payment Date, remit all Income with
      respect to the related Due Period then on deposit in the Collection Account
      to
      the Funding Account.

     

    All
      amounts on deposit in the Funding Account, remitted by or on behalf of the
      Seller shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Annex IV hereto,
      prior to giving effect to any amounts in respect of the aggregate Purchase
      Price
      for Transactions occurring on such day.

     

    7.  BACK-UP
      SECURITY INTEREST.  Seller, Agent and each Principal intend that
      the Transactions hereunder be sales to Agent of the Purchased Assets and not
      loans from Agent to Seller secured by such Purchased Assets.  However,
      in order to preserve Agent’s and each Principal’s rights under this Agreement in
      the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder
      as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its
      respective Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Agent a fully perfected first
      priority security interest in the following property, whether now existing
      or
      hereafter acquired:  the Purchased Assets, the Related Security, the
      related Records, all mortgage guaranties and insurance relating to such
      Purchased Assets (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage
      insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties
      or
      insurance relating to such Purchased Assets and all claims and payments
      thereunder, any purchase agreements or other agreements or contracts relating
      to
      or constituting any or all of the foregoing, all “accounts” as defined in the
      Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing,
      all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased
      Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, any security account and all rights
      to
      Income and the rights to enforce such payments arising from any of the Purchased
      Assets, the Servicing Rights, all guarantees or other support for the Purchased
      Assets, all returned or repossessed manufactured housing units relating to
      the
      mortgage loans, any assignment of a security interest in the related
      manufactured housing unit, and any and all replacements, substitutions,
      distributions on, or proceeds with respect to, any of the
      foregoing  (collectively the “Collateral”).  Seller
      agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts
      as
      may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Agent’s security interest created
      hereby.  Furthermore, Seller hereby authorizes Agent to file financing
      statements relating to the Purchased Assets without any further authorization
      of
      Seller at its option, as it deems appropriate.  Servicer shall pay all
      costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this
      Section 7.

      and
      Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2006, among PHH

      consent to such amendment, modification, wavier or supplement; provided
      that the condition in clause (ii) above alone shall not prevent

      the Aggregate Purchase Price as of the close of Seller’s business, on the
      Business Day immediately prior to the date such unmatured event of default

        34

      shall
      release such Purchased Asset to Seller (or its designee) unless such release
      would give rise to or perpetuate a Margin Deficit.

     

    10.  REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES.  Seller hereby represents and warrants for the
      benefit of Agent and each Principal, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date
      for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including
      the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant,
      that:

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (a)  Due
      Organization and Authority.  It is duly organized, validly
      existing and in good standing under the laws of New Jersey and has all licenses
      necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is licensed,
      qualified and in good standing in each state where a Mortgaged Property is
      located if required to conduct business of the type conducted by it and where
      the failure to be licensed, qualified or in good standing could reasonably
      be
      expected to have a material adverse effect, and in any event it is in compliance
      with the laws of any such state to the extent necessary to ensure the
      enforceability of any Eligible Mortgage Loan sold hereunder and the servicing
      of
      any such Eligible Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
      each Transaction Document and any Transaction Notice.

     

    (b)  Power
      and Authority.  It has the full power and authority to execute and
      deliver this Agreement, each other Transaction Document and any Transaction
      Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms
      thereof and to consummate the Transactions and to conduct its business as
      currently conducted.

     

    (c)  Due
      Authorization.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
      Agreement, each other Transaction Document and any Transaction Notice by it
      and
      the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been
      duly and validly authorized by it and all requisite corporate action has been
      taken by it to make this Agreement, each other Transaction Document and any
      Transaction Notice valid and binding upon Seller in accordance with its
      terms.

     

    (d)  Noncontravention.  Neither
      the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document
      or
      any Transaction Notice, the acquisition of Eligible Mortgage Loans by it, the
      sale of Eligible Mortgage Loans to Agent or the transactions contemplated hereby
      or thereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions
      of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Transaction Notice,
      will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
      provisions of Seller’s charter or by-laws or any material agreement or
      instrument to which Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute
      a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result
      in
      the violation in any material respect of any applicable law, rule, regulation,
      order, judgment or decree to which Seller or its property is subject, or impair
      the ability of Agent to realize on the Eligible Mortgage Loans in any material
      respect, or impair the value of the Eligible Mortgage Loans in any material
      respect, or impair in any material respect the ability of Agent to realize
      the
      full mortgage insurance benefits (i) of the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract
      with respect to FHA Loans; (ii) of the VA Loan Guaranty Certificate with
      respect to VA Loans; or (iii) other insurance benefits accruing pursuant to
      this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited
      to
      any PMI Policy.

     

    (e)  Legal
      Proceeding.  There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
      pending or to its knowledge threatened against it which, either in any one
      instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in
      the
      business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Seller,
      or
      result in any material impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry
      on
      its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on
      the
      part of Seller, or which would draw into question the validity of this
      Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Transaction Notice or the
      Eligible Mortgage Loans or the validity of any action taken or to be taken
      in
      connection with the obligations of Seller contemplated herein, or which would
      be
      likely to impair materially the ability of Seller to perform under the terms
      of
      this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Transaction
      Notice.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (f)  Valid
      and Binding Obligations.  This Agreement, each other Transaction
      Document and any Transaction Notice evidences the valid, binding and enforceable
      obligation of Seller, except that (i) the enforceability thereof may be
      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar
      laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the remedy of
      specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may
      be
      subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which
      any proceeding therefore may be brought.

     

    (g)  Financial
      Statements.  Seller has delivered to Agent consolidated financial
      statements of PHH Corporation as to its last three complete fiscal years and
      any
      later quarter ended more than 60 days prior to the execution of this
      Agreement.  All such financial statements  fairly present
      the pertinent results of operations and changes in financial position at the
      end
      of each such period of PHH Corporation and its subsidiaries and have been
      prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods
      involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto.  There has been no
      change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
      of
      Seller since the date of PHH Corporation’s most recently provided financial
      statements that would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform
      its obligations under this Agreement.

     

    (h)  Accuracy
      of Information.  Neither this Agreement, any other Transaction
      Document, any Transaction Notice nor any statement, report or other document
      prepared by Seller or to be prepared by Seller pursuant hereto or thereto or
      in
      connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby contains any
      untrue statement of a material fact relating to Seller or the Eligible Mortgage
      Loans or omits to state a fact necessary to make the statements herein or
      therein not materially misleading.

     

    (i)  No
      Consents.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
      court or governmental agency or body including, without limitation, HUD, FHA
      or
      VA, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by it of or
      compliance by it with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any
      Transaction Notice or the sale of the Eligible Mortgage Loans, or if required,
      such consent, approval or authorization has been obtained.

     

    (j)  Compliance
      With Law, Etc.  Seller and each of its Subsidiaries are in
      compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations,
      and
      orders of all governmental authorities (including, without limitation, the
      Real
      Estate Settlement Procedures Act, as amended, the Federal Consumer Credit
      Protection Act, as amended, Regulation Z of the Board of Governors of the
      Federal Reserve System, as amended, laws, rules and regulations relating to
      usury, truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal
      credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy and all other
      consumer laws, rules and regulations applicable to the mortgage loans), except
      where failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material
      adverse effect, and (ii) neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has
      failed to obtain any licenses, permits, franchises or other governmental
      authorizations necessary to the ownership of its properties or to the conduct
      of
      its business (including, without limitation, as may be necessary in any
      applicable jurisdiction in connection with the ownership of the mortgage loans),
      which violation or failure to obtain could reasonably be expected to have a
      material adverse effect.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (k)  Solvency;
      Fraudulent Conveyance.  Seller is solvent and will not be rendered
      insolvent by the Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction,
      Seller will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which
      to engage in its business.  Seller does not intend to incur, nor
      believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as
      they mature.  Seller is not contemplating the commencement of
      insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the
      appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official
      in respect of Seller or any of its assets.  The amount of
      consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets
      to
      Agent constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such
      Purchased Assets.  Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets
      with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

     

    (l)  Investment
      Company Compliance.  Seller and none of its Subsidiaries is not,
      and no such Person will during the term of this Agreement be an “investment
      company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

     

    (m)  Taxes.  Seller
      and each of its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all federal,
      provincial, state and local tax returns which are required to be filed, and
      have
      paid or have caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns or on any
      assessment received by them in writing, to the extent that such taxes have
      become due, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably
      be expected to result in a material adverse effect.  Any taxes, fees
      and other governmental charges payable by Seller in connection with a
      Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents have
      been paid.

     

    (n)  Additional
      Representations.  With respect to each mortgage loan, Seller
      hereby makes all of the applicable representations and warranties set forth
      in
      this Agreement as of the Purchase Date and the date the Mortgage Note is
      delivered to the Custodian.  Further, as of each Purchase Date, Seller
      shall be deemed to have represented and warranted in like manner that Seller
      has
      no knowledge that any such representation or warranty may have ceased to be
      true
      in a material respect as of such date, except as otherwise stated in a
      Transaction Notice, any such exception to identify the applicable representation
      or warranty and specify in reasonable detail the related knowledge of
      Seller.

     

    (o)  No
      Broker.  Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,
      agent or other Person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation
      in
      connection with the sale of any Eligible Mortgage Loans to Agent.

     

    (p)  No
      Event of Default; No Servicer Default.  There exists no Event of
      Default under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, which default
      gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in this
      Agreement, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or
      agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase
      of
      mortgage loans or securities and there exists no Servicer Default.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        38

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (q)  Guidelines.  The
      Guidelines provided to Agent and Principals are the true and correct
      Guidelines.

     

    (r)  Chief
      Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Organization.  Seller’s
      organizational information as set forth on Schedule I hereto is true and
      correct.

     

    (s)  Location
      of Books and Records.  The location where Seller keep its books
      and records, including all computer tapes and records relating to the Purchased
      Assets is as set forth on Schedule I.

     

    (t)  ERISA.  Seller
      and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the provisions of ERISA
      and
      the Code applicable to Plans, and the regulations and published interpretations
      thereunder, if any, which are applicable to it and the applicable laws, rules
      and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to Plans.  Neither
      Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has, with respect to any Plan, engaged in
      a
      prohibited transaction which would subject it to a tax or penalty on prohibited
      transactions imposed by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.  No
      liability to the PBGC exists, or to the best knowledge of Seller is reasonably
      expected to be, incurred with respect to the Plans and there has been no
      Reportable Event and no other event or condition that presents a risk of
      termination of a Plan by the PBGC.  Neither Seller nor any of its
      Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction which could reasonably be expected
      to
      result in the incurrence of liability under Section 4069 of
      ERISA.  As of the Effective Date, neither Seller nor any of its
      Subsidiaries contributes to a Multiemployer Plan, and no such Person has
      incurred any liability that could reasonably be expected to result in a partial
      or complete withdrawal (as defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA,
      respectively) with respect to any Multiemployer Plan.

     

    (u)  No
      Material Adverse Change.  Since June 30, 2007, there has been no
      material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition,
      financial or otherwise, of Seller together with any of its Consolidated
      Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided that the foregoing representation
      is made solely as of the Effective Date.

     

    (v)  Copyrights,
      Patents and Other Rights.  Seller and each of its Subsidiaries
      owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, service marks,
      copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business,
      and the use thereof by such Person does not infringe upon the rights of any
      other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
      aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse
      effect.

     

    (w)  Federal
      Reserve Regulations.  Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries
      is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business
      of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin
      stock.  No part of the proceeds of any Purchase Price hereunder will
      be used by Seller, whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any
      purpose violative of or inconsistent with any of the provisions of
      Regulation T, U or X of the Board.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (x)  Disclosure.  As
      of the Effective Date, there is no fact known to Seller which, individually
      or
      in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
      on it or any of its Subsidiaries.

     

    (y)  Environmental
      Liabilities.  Except with respect to any matters, that,
      individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
      in
      a material adverse effect, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries
      (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain
      or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
      Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability,
      (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental
      Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
      Liability.

     

    (z)  Adverse
      Selection.  Each mortgage loan sold pursuant to a Transaction
      Notice was selected from mortgage loans originated by Seller or purchased by
      Seller from third parties and are Eligible Mortgage Loans which satisfy the
      Eligibility Representations and any selection process employed by it was not
      made in a manner so as to materially adversely affect the interests of Agent
      or
      any Principal.

     

    (aa)  Agreements.  Neither
      Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement, instrument,
      or
      indenture or subject to any restriction materially and adversely affecting
      its
      business, operations, assets or financial condition, except, to the extent
      disclosure is required by GAAP, as disclosed in the financial statements
      described in this Agreement.  Neither Seller nor any of its
      Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of
      any
      of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement,
      instrument, or indenture which default could have a material adverse effect
      on
      the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of such Person
      as a
      whole.  No holder of any indebtedness of Seller or of any of its
      Subsidiaries has given notice of any asserted monetary or material default
      thereunder.

     

    (bb)  Fair
      Consideration.  The consideration received by Seller in connection
      with each Transaction under this Agreement constitutes fair consideration and
      reasonably equivalent value for the Eligible Mortgage Loans.

     

    (cc)  Ability
      to Perform.  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 in all material respects.  Seller is solvent and the
      sale of the Eligible Mortgage Loans is not undertaken to hinder, delay or
      defraud any of Seller’s creditors.

     

    (dd)  Financing
      Treatment.  Seller has determined that the transfer of the
      Eligible Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will be afforded financing
      treatment for accounting and tax purposes.

     

    (ee)  The
      Surety Bond.  The Surety Bond is in full force and effect and is a
      legal, valid and binding obligation of the Surety, enforceable in accordance
      with its terms, except that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
      insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to
      creditors’ rights generally and the remedy of specific performance and
      injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable
      defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
      may be brought.

    (ff)  Premium
      Payments.  Seller agrees to make each premium required under the
      Surety Bond on or prior to the date on which such premium payment is
      due.  No premium payments are past due on the Surety
      Bond.

     

    (gg)  Permitted
      Beneficiaries.  Each Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan is an
“Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan,” as such term is defined in the related
      Surety Bond, and each of Seller, Agent and each Principal is a “Permitted
      Beneficiary” of the rights of the related Approved Provider.

     

    (hh)  The
      Additional Collateral Transfer Agreement.  The Additional
      Collateral Transfer Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
      related Approved Provider, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
      that
      enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
      receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and
      the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable
      relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court
      before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

     

    (ii)  Security
      Interest of Seller.  Pursuant to the Additional Collateral
      Transfer Agreement, with respect to each Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan,
      Seller has a first-priority perfected security interest in each Securities
      Account, or, if necessary to perfect a first-priority security interest in
      each
      asset contained in such Securities Account, a perfected first-priority security
      interest in each such asset contained in each Securities Account.

     

    (jj)  Security
      Interest of Agent.  Upon the purchase of each Additional
      Collateral Mortgage Loan, Agent will acquire a first-priority perfect security
      interest in the related Securities Account.

     

    (kk)  Representations
      and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans; Eligibility
      Representations.  As to each Eligible Mortgage Loan, Seller shall
      on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date
      thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to make
      each of the representations and warranties set forth on Annex II
      hereto.

     

    The
      representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive
      transfer of the Purchased Assets to Agent and shall continue for so long as
      the
      Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement.  It is understood and
      agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
      (including Annex II) shall survive the sale of the Eligible Mortgage Loans
      to Agent and the delivery of the Loan Documents to Servicer and delivery of
      the
      Mortgage Notes to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and
      each
      Principal notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any

      OF SELLER.  Seller hereby covenants with Agent and each Principal
      as follows:

      item
      of the Purchased Assets, any related rights or any of the Transaction Documents;
      provided that any such party may amend, supplement or modify a mortgage

      date, modify its interest rate, or constitute a cancellation or discharge of
      its
      outstanding principal balance and does not materially and adversely affect

      securing the mortgage loan and any such party may amend, supplement or modify
      a
      mortgage loan in the ordinary course of business to correct errors;

      applicable to Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and cause the Purchased
      Assets to comply with all applicable rules, regulations and other laws of any
      such Official Body.  Seller will not allow any default for which

      for, any taxes; provided, however, that if Seller shall be required by law
      to

      expense, execute (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation
      statements (including fixture filings), or amendments thereto, and such other
      instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent
      or
      any Principal may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such

      labor, materials, or supplies which if unpaid could reasonably be expected
      to
      result in a material adverse effect; provided that any such tax,
      assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount
      thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
      and if such Person shall have set aside on its books reserves (the presentation

      thereto if reserves shall be deemed necessary by such Person in accordance
      with
      GAAP; and provided, further, that such Person will pay all such
      taxes, assessments, levies or other governmental charges forthwith upon the

      properties and to conduct its business, in all jurisdictions where the nature
      of
      its business so requires it and where a failure to be in good standing as a
      foreign corporation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
      effect and to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate
      existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply, except where
      failure to comply, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
      be expected to result in a material adverse effect, with all provisions of
      Law,
      and all applicable restrictions imposed by any Official Body, and all state
      and
      provincial laws and regulations of similar import.

      knowledge or notice thereof, or (vii) a Margin Deficit shall continue
      unremedied for 2 Business Days after the earlier of the Seller’s knowledge or

      of
      this clause (vii), notice or knowledge of a report actually received by the
      Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement shall be deemed to
      have occurred at 9.a.m. Eastern time on the Business Day immediately following

      continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after the earlier of such Person’s
      knowledge or receipt of notice thereof;

     

    (c)  any
      representation or warranty made or deemed made by Seller or Performance

      document furnished by or on behalf of Seller, Performance Guarantor or any
      of
      their respective Subsidiaries to Agent, any Principal or the Custodian under
      or
      in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall
      prove
      to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or delivered

      for 2 Business Days after the earlier of such Person’s knowledge or receipt of
      notice thereof;

     

    (d)  (i) Seller,
      Performance Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall fail to
      (x) pay any Indebtedness or Interest Rate Protection Agreements where the
      amount or amounts of such Indebtedness or Interest Rate Protection Agreement
      exceeds $50,000,000 (or its equivalent thereof in any other currency) in the
      aggregate; or (y) perform any other term, provision or condition with
      respect to any Indebtedness or Interest Rate Protection Agreements of greater
      than $50,000,000 (or its equivalent thereof in any other currency), which
      failure results in such Indebtedness becoming due prior to the scheduled date
      of
      maturity thereof or enables or permits the holder or holders of such
      Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such
      Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment (other than by a
      regularly scheduled payment), repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof,
      prior to the scheduled date of maturity thereof; or (ii) any other
      circumstance shall arise (other than the mere passage of time) by reason of
      which Seller, Performance Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries

      Agreement where the amount or amounts of such Indebtedness or Interest Rate
      Protection Agreement exceeds $50,000,000 (or its equivalent thereof in any
      other

      proceeding or other action shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in
      effect, for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief in respect of such
      Person shall be entered in an involuntary case or proceeding under any law
      relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of creditors or
      other similar laws now or hereafter in effect;

     

    (f)  Seller,
      Performance Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall generally
      not pay its debts as they become due or shall admit in writing its inability
      to
      pay its debts, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

      dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking
      appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for
      it
      or for all or any substantial part of its property or shall file an answer
      or
      other pleading in any such case, proceeding or other action admitting the
      material allegations of any petition, complaint or similar pleading filed
      against it or consenting to the relief sought therein; or Seller, Performance

      rendered against Seller, Performance Guarantor or any of their respective
      Subsidiaries;

     

    (h)  any
      Official Body or any person, agency or entity acting or reasonably purporting
      to
      act under governmental authority shall have taken any action reasonably likely
      to result in a condemnation, seizure or appropriation, or assumption of custody
      or control of, all or any substantial part of the property of Seller,
      Performance Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or shall have
      taken any action reasonably likely to displace the management of Seller,

    (v)  if
      Seller
      assigns or attempts to assign this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
      or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without first obtaining
      the
      specific written consent of Agent or the granting by Seller of any security
      interest, lien or other encumbrances on any Purchased Assets or on the
      Collection Account, the Funding Account, the Margin Call Account or any of
      the
      other collateral referred to in Section 7 to any person other than
      Agent.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller will no longer be permitted to sell
      and Agent (on behalf of the Principals) will no longer be permitted to purchase
      additional Eligible Mortgage Loans and principal and interest payments on
      Eligible Mortgage Loans and principal proceeds of sales and Securitizations
      of
      Eligible Mortgage Loans will be remitted to the Funding Account for application
      in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

     

    Additionally,
      Agent, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised
      immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
      Section 13(e) or (f) hereof), shall have any or all of the following rights
      and remedies, which may (or at the direction of the Required Principals, shall)
      be exercised by Agent:

     

    (a)  The
      Termination Date and the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall
      be
      deemed immediately to occur.

     

    (b)  Seller’s
      obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets subject to a
      Transaction with Seller at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase
      Date
      in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; Seller
      shall immediately deliver to Agent or its designee any and all original papers,
      records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction
      then in Seller’s possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in
      and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall
      be
      deemed transferred to Agent or its designee.

     

    In
      addition to its repurchase obligation, Seller shall indemnify Agent and each
      Principal and hold them harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
      forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
      and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
      assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the
      representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.  It is
      understood and agreed that the obligations of Seller to cure or repurchase
      an
      Eligible Mortgage Loan and to indemnify Agent and each Principal constitute
      the
      sole remedies of Agent and each Principal respecting a breach of the foregoing
      representations and warranties.

     

    Agent
      may
      sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the
      Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 13(b) without
      notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price
      or
      prices as Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased
      Assets.  The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be
      applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in
      connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to the
      aggregate Repurchase Prices; and third to all other
      Obligations.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        51

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    The
      parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the
      Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the
      same
      purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets
      may not be liquid.  In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the
      parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased
      Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private
      purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
      manner.  Accordingly, Agent may elect the time and manner of
      liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate
      Agent to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default
      or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business
      Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of
      Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement
      agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and
      in
      reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single
      business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered
      into in consideration of the other Transactions.

     

    In
      addition to its rights hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the
      continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to proceed
      against Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Agent, any Principal,
      any Principal’s Affiliate or designee (including, without limitation, the
      Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the
      proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Agent pursuant to this
      Agreement.  Agent may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of
      the Purchased Assets, any other collateral or its proceeds and all other sums
      or
      obligations owed by Agent to Seller against all of Seller’s Obligations to
      Agent, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other
      agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such Obligations
      are
      then due, without prejudice to Agent’s right to recover any
      deficiency.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall
      have
      the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files
      of
      Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the
      Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession
      of
      Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver (or cause
      to be delivered) to Agent such assignments as Agent shall request.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may direct
      Servicer to take such action consistent with the Transaction Documents with
      respect to the Purchased Assets as Agent determines appropriate.

     

    Seller
      shall be liable to Agent for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon
      at a rate equal to the Default Rate), and Breakage Costs and all costs and
      expenses incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions related
      to
      the Purchased Assets.

     

    Seller
      shall, within 2 Business Days of receipt thereof, cause all sums received by
      it
      with respect to the Purchased Assets to be remitted to the Collection
      Account.

     

    Agent
      shall without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be
      entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction,
      without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate,
      and sell the Purchased Assets and any other collateral or any portion thereof,
      collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets and any other
      collateral or any portion thereof, and do anything that Agent is authorized
      hereunder to do.  Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
      Agent in connection with the appointment and activities of such
      receiver.

    Agent
      may
      enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or
      hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law,
      any
      right such Person might otherwise have to require Agent to enforce its rights
      by
      judicial process.  Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law,
      any defense such Person might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from
      use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the
      Purchased Assets and any other collateral or from any other election of
      remedies.  Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent
      with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are
      the
      result of a bargain at arm’s length.

     

    In
      addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Agent
      shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state,
      foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute,
      including without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a
      purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall have, except as otherwise
      expressly provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise any of its rights
      and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any
      kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly
      waived by Seller.

     

    14.  DELAY
      NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE.  No failure on the part of
      Agent or any Principal to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
      power
      or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
      or
      partial exercise by Agent or any Principal of any right, power or remedy
      hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
      any
      other right, power or remedy.  All rights and remedies of Agent and
      Principals provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all
      other rights and remedies provided by law, the Transaction Documents and the
      other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not
      conditional or contingent on any attempt by Agent or any Principal to exercise
      any of its rights under any other related document.  Agent may
      exercise at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
      Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter
      at
      any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or
      remedies.

     

    15.  USE
      OF
      EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS.  No assets of an employee benefit plan
      subject to any provision of ERISA shall be used by any party hereto in a
      Transaction.

     

    16.  EXPENSES;
      INDEMNITY.

     

    (a)  Seller
      agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and
      to
      save each Principal and Agent harmless against liability for the payment of,
      all
      reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’,
      accountant’s and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any rating agency fees,
      any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of each Principal
      and Agent, but excluding salaries and similar overhead costs of each Principal
      and Agent which are incurred notwithstanding the execution and performance
      of
      this Agreement) incurred by or on behalf of any Principal and Agent (i) in
      connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and preparation of the
      Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by or undertaken

      (ii) from time to time (a) relating to any requested amendments,
      waivers or consents under the Transaction Documents requested by Seller,
      (b) arising in connection with the Principals’ or Agent’s or their
      enforcement or preservation of their respective rights (including, without
      limitation, the perfection and protection of the Eligible Mortgage Loans) under
      the Transaction Documents, or (c) arising in connection with any audit,
      dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving the
      Transaction Documents, which audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or
      preparation for litigation directly results from Seller’s failure to comply with
      Seller’s obligations (as Seller or Servicer) under the Transaction Documents
      (collectively, the “Transaction Costs”).

    (b)  Without
      limiting any other rights which Agent or the Principals may have hereunder
      or
      under applicable law, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Principal, Agent
      and the APA Purchasers and any successors and permitted assigns and their
      respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Indemnified
      Parties”), from and against any and all damages, losses, claims,
      liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
      attorneys’ fees (which such attorneys may be employees of the APA Purchasers or
      Agent, as applicable) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
      referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), arising out of  or in
      connection with:

     

    (i)  any
      dispute, action, suit, litigation or proceeding arising out of or as a result
      of
      (x) this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or
      maintenance by Agent, any Principal or any APA Purchaser of the Eligible
      Mortgage Loans, (y) the use of proceeds of Transactions by Seller, or
      (z) any Eligible Mortgage Loan; provided that no Indemnified Party
      shall have the right to be indemnified under this paragraph (i) in respect

      Agreement against any APA Purchaser or Agent, (y) any APA Purchaser against
      any Participant, any APA Purchaser or Agent, or (z) any holder of any
      security of any APA Purchaser (in its capacity as such) against any APA
      Purchaser, to the extent any such litigation does not arise out of any
      misconduct (alleged in good faith by such APA Purchaser) by or on behalf of
      Seller.

     

    (ii)  any
      representation or warranty (other than a representation or warranty in
      Annex II hereof) made by Seller (including, in its capacity as Servicer) or
      any officers of Seller (including, in its capacity as Servicer) under or in
      connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any
      Servicer Report or any other information or report delivered by Seller or
      Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any
      material respect when made or deemed made;

     

    (iii)  the
      failure by Seller (including, in its capacity as Servicer) to comply with any
      applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Eligible Mortgage Loan
      or
      the nonconformity of any Eligible Mortgage Loan with any such applicable law,
      rule or regulation;

    (iv)  any
      claim
      resulting from the sale of merchandise or services by Seller, any Affiliate
      of
      Seller or any designee of Seller to the related Borrower with respect to
      any  Eligible Mortgage Loan or the furnishing or failure to furnish
      such merchandise or services by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any designee
      of Seller;

     

    (v)  the
      transfer of an ownership interest in any mortgage loan other than an Eligible
      Mortgage Loan;

     

    (vi)  the
      failure by Seller (individually or as Servicer) to comply with any term,
      provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other
      Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to perform any of its respective
      duties under any Eligible Mortgage Loan;

     

    (vii)  the
      Aggregate Purchase Price exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price at any
      time;

     

    (viii)  the
      failure of Seller to pay when due any taxes, including without limitation,
      sales, excise or personal property taxes payable by Seller in connection with
      any of the Eligible Mortgage Loans;

     

    (ix)  any
      repayment by any Indemnified Party of any amount previously distributed in
      reduction of Aggregate Purchase Price which such Indemnified Party believes
      in
      good faith is required to be made;

     

    (x)  any
      inability to obtain any judgment in or utilize the court or other adjudication
      system of, any state in which a Borrower may be located as a result of the
      failure of Seller to qualify to do business or file any notice of business
      activity report or any similar report; or

     

    (xi)  any
      action taken by Seller, or Servicer (if Seller or any Affiliate or designee
      of
      Seller) in the enforcement or collection of any Eligible Mortgage
      Loan;

     

    provided
      that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder
      (x) for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
      court of competent jurisdiction, (y) for any lost profits of such
      Indemnified Party, or (z) any claim for punitive damages claimed by such
      Indemnified Party against Seller.

     

    (c)  Without
      limitation on the provisions of Section 3, if any payment of the Repurchase
      Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other than on the then Scheduled
      Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date
      pursuant to Section 13 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand
      by Agent, pay to Agent for the benefit of the applicable Principals any Breakage
      Costs incurred by such Principals as of a result of such payment.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        55

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (d)  Without
      prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the
      covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section shall survive
      the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable
      hereunder or any other Transaction Document and delivery of the Purchased Assets
      by Agent against full payment therefor.

     

    17.  WAIVER
      OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS.  Seller hereby expressly
      waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation
      on a
      deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets
      as a
      result of restrictions upon Agent or Custodian contained in the Transaction
      Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any
      right that it may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets
      shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto or pursuant
      to the terms of any other Transaction Document.

     

    18.  INCREASED
      COSTS; TAXES; ETC.

     

    (A)           (i)           If
      after the date hereof, the adoption of any law or bank regulatory guideline
      or
      any amendment or change in the interpretation of any existing or future Law
      or
      bank regulatory guideline by any Official Body charged with the administration,
      interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive
      of
      any Official Body (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or
      not
      having the force of Law):

     

    (1)  shall
      subject Agent, any Principal or any other Person (including any bank or other
      financial institution providing liquidity and/or credit support to any Conduit
      Principal in connection with its securitization program (each, an “Affected
      Person”) to any tax, duty or other charge (other than Excluded Taxes) with
      respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership,
      maintenance or financing of the Eligible Mortgage Loans or payments of amounts
      due hereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected
      Person of amounts payable in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction
      Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Eligible Mortgage
      Loans or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds
      hereunder, under the Asset Purchase Agreement or the credit support furnished
      by
      the Affected Person or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other
      Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Eligible
      Mortgage Loans (except for changes in the rate of general corporate, franchise,
      net income or other income tax imposed on such Affected Person by the
      jurisdiction in which such Affected Person’s principal executive office is
      located);

     

    (2)  shall
      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
      requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by
      the
      Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits
      with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person or shall
      impose on any Affected Person or on the United States market for certificates
      of
      deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
      Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or
      financing of the Eligible Mortgage Loans or payments of amounts due hereunder
      or
      its obligation to advance funds hereunder under the Asset Purchase Agreement
      or
      the credit support provided by such Affected Person or otherwise in respect
      of
      this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the ownership, maintenance
      or financing of the Eligible Mortgage Loans; or

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        56

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (3)  imposes
      upon any Affected Person any other expense (including, without limitation,
      reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or
      preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing) with respect to this
      Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or
      financing of the Eligible Mortgage Loans or payments of amounts due hereunder
      or
      its obligation to advance funds hereunder, under the Asset Purchase Agreement
      or
      the credit support furnished by the Program Bank or otherwise in respect of
      this
      Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the ownership, maintenance or
      financing of the Eligible Mortgage Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing
      is to increase the cost to such Affected Person with respect to this Agreement,
      the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of
      the
      Eligible Mortgage Loans, the obligations hereunder, the funding of any purchases
      hereunder or the Asset Purchase Agreement, by an amount deemed by such Affected
      Person to be material, then, within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected
      Person through Agent, Seller shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of such
      Affected Person, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
      Affected Person for such increased cost or reduction.

     

    (ii)  If
      any
      Affected Person shall have determined that after the date hereof, the adoption
      of any applicable law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy,
      or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation thereof by any
      Official Body, or any directive regarding capital adequacy (in the case of
      any
      bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of law) of any such
      Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
      on
      capital of such Affected Person (or its parent) as a consequence of such
      Affected Person’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a level below
      that which such Affected Person (or its parent) could have achieved but for
      such
      adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies
      with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Person
      to
      be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such
      Affected Person through Agent, Seller shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of
      such Affected Person, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
      such
      Affected Person (or its parent) for such reduction.  For the avoidance
      of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the
      Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including, without
      limitation, FASB Interpretation No. 46), shall constitute an adoption,
      change, request or directive subject to this Section.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        57

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    Agent
      will promptly notify Seller of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
      after the date hereof, which will entitle an Affected Person to compensation
      pursuant to this Section.  A notice by Agent or the applicable
      Affected Person claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth
      the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive
      in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, Agent
      or any applicable Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and
      attributing methods.

     

    (B)           All
      payments made hereunder by Seller or Servicer (each, a “payor”) to any
      Affected Person (each, a “recipient”) shall be made free and clear of and
      without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise
      taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any
      nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any
      assignee of such parties) (such  nonexcluded items being called
“Taxes”), but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured
      by the recipient’s net income or gross receipts (“Excluded
      Taxes”).  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any
      payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes (other
      than Excluded Taxes), then such payor shall:

     

    (i)  pay
      directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
      or
      deducted;

     

    (ii)  promptly
      forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to
      Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

     

    (iii)  pay
      to
      the recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that
      the net amount actually received by the recipient will equal the full amount
      such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
      required.

     

    Moreover,
      if any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are directly asserted against any
      recipient with respect to any payment received by such recipient hereunder,
      the
      recipient may pay such Taxes and the payor will promptly pay such additional
      amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary
      in
      order that the net amount received by the recipient after the payment of such
      Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount
      such recipient would have received had such Taxes not been
      asserted.

     

    If
      the
      payor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or
      fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required
      documentary evidence, the payor shall indemnify the recipient for any
      incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any
      recipient as a result of any such failure.

     

    Seller
      shall pay to each Affected Person, as applicable, upon the request of such
      Affected Person or Agent on its behalf, such amount or amounts as shall
      compensate such Affected Person for any actual loss (including loss of profit),
      cost or expense incurred by such Affected Person (as reasonably determined
      by
      such Affected Person) as a result of (x) any payment or repayment of any
      Purchase Price related to a Transaction (or portion thereof) other than on
      the
      maturity date of the source of funds obtained or utilized by such Affected
      Person to fund or maintain such Purchase Price or (y) any failure by Seller
      to commence a Transaction (including the continued maintenance of, or any
      increase with respect to any Purchase Prince related thereto, or portion
      thereof), requested by Seller hereunder, in either case, such compensation
      to
      include, without limitation, an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered
      by
      such Affected Person during the period from the date of receipt of such
      repayment or failure to commence a Transaction, as the case may be, to (but
      excluding) the maturity date of such source of funds, if the rate of interest
      obtained by such Affected Person upon the redeployment of an amount of funds
      equal to the amount of such repayment or failure to commence a Transaction,
      as
      the case may be, is less than the interest rate that would have been applicable
      thereon, hereunder through the applicable maturity thereof.  The
      determination by any Affected Person of the amount of any such loss or expense
      shall be set forth in a written notice to Seller in reasonable detail and shall
      be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        58

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    19.  FURTHER
      ASSURANCES.  Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and
      to execute and deliver to Agent such additional assignments, acknowledgments,
      agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Agent or any
      Principal to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement and
      the
      other Transaction Documents, to perfect the interests of Agent in the Purchased
      Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Agent its rights, powers and
      remedies hereunder.

     

    20.  ENTIRE
      AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION.  This Agreement supersedes and
      integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings
      between the parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets,
      and
      it, together with the other Transaction Documents, and the other documents
      delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of
      the
      parties.  No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior
      contract shall have any validity.

     

    21.  TERMINATION;
      COMMITMENT REDUCTION.

     

    (a)  This
      Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date.  However,
      no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Agent, any
      Principal, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party at the time of such
      termination.  Seller’s obligations to indemnify Agent, each Principal,
      each Affected Person and each Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement
      and
      the other Transaction Documents shall survive the termination hereof and
      thereof.

     

    (b)  Upon
      at
      least 10 Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice or telecopy notice to
      Agent and each Bank Principal, Seller may at any time in whole permanently
      terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments;
      provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be made in an
      integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000
      and (ii) Seller shall not be entitled to make any such permanent
      termination or reduction that would reduce (x) the aggregate amount of the
      Commitments to any amount less than the Aggregate Purchase Price at such time
      or
      (y) the Commitment of any Principal to an amount less than such Principal’s
      Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Purchase Price at such time, unless, with
      respect to this subclause (y), a replacement for such Principal acceptable
      to
      Agent and Seller assumes such Principal’s rights and obligations under this
      Agreement.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        59

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (c)  Each
      reduction in the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price shall be made ratably among
      the Principals in accordance with their respective
      Commitments.  Seller shall pay on the effective date of a termination
      or a reduction in the Commitments, to Agent for the account of the Principals,
      the Fees accrued to such effective date, based on the amount of the Commitments
      prior to giving effect to such termination or reduction, together with any
      Breakage Costs incurred in connection therewith.

     

    (d)  Seller
      may advise Agent and each Bank Principal in writing of its desire to extend
      the
      Termination Date with respect to each Principal for an additional period of
      up
      to 364 days; provided such request is made not more than sixty (60) days
      prior to, and not less than thirty (30) days prior to, the then current
      Termination Date.  Each Bank Principal shall promptly notify Agent of
      its decision to extend the then Termination Date.  In the event that
      all of the Principals are agreeable to such extension, Agent shall so notify
      Seller in writing (it being understood that each of the Principals may
      accept or decline such a request in its sole discretion and on such terms as
      it
      may elect) not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the then current Termination
      Date and Seller, Agent and the Principals shall enter into such documents as
      the
      Principals may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and
      all
      reasonable costs and expenses for services delivered by outside professionals
      incurred by the Principals and Agent in connection therewith (including
      reasonable attorneys’ costs) shall be paid by Seller.  In the event
      any Principal declines the request for such extension, such Principal (or the
      applicable Bank Principal on its behalf) shall so notify Seller and Agent of
      such determination.

     

    22.  ASSIGNMENT
      BY PRINCIPALS.  A Principal may assign any of its rights and
      obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, to any other
      Person with the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be
      unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that Agent
      shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of
      assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance (in form and
      substance satisfactory to Agent) by Agent, each such assigning Principal and
      each assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying a constant, and
      not a varying, percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned
      and
      the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of
      the
      date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such
      assignment), which shall in no event be less than the lesser of
      (x) $5,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Principal’s
      Commitment.  Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a
      party hereto and to each Transaction Document to the extent of the percentage
      or
      portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the
      applicable rights and obligations of a Principal hereunder, and (b) such
      Principal shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so
      assigned by it to another Person which assumes the obligations of such
      Principal, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other
      Transaction Documents accruing thereafter.  Unless otherwise stated in
      the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely
      from Agent unless otherwise notified by Agent in writing.  Agent may
      distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information
      delivered to Agent by Seller; provided, further that on and after
      the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, a Principal may,
      without the consent of Seller or any other Person, as assign any of its rights
      hereunder and under any other Transaction Document, to any
      Person.  The entries in the register referred to above shall be
      conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Seller,
      Servicer, Agent and the Principals may treat each Person whose name is recorded
      in such register as a Principal under this Agreement for all purposes of this
      Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

    A
      Conduit
      Principal may, without notice to, or the consent of, Seller or any of its
      Affiliates, assign and grant a security interest in all of its right, title
      and
      interest in, to and under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
      to
      any liquidity bank, program support provider or any the collateral trustee
      acting for the benefit of such parties and the holders of such Conduit
      Principal’s Short-Term Notes, and any successor in such capacity, to secure such
      Conduit Principal’s obligations under or in connection with the Short-Term
      Notes, any related Asset Purchase Agreement, any credit agreement provided
      to
      such Conduit Principal by any applicable program support provider, and certain
      other obligations of such Conduit Principal incurred in connection with the
      funding and maintenance of the Transactions hereunder.

     

    23.  AMENDMENTS,
      ETC.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
      this Agreement or any other Transaction Document nor any consent to any failure
      to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective unless the
      same
      shall be in writing and signed by Seller, Agent and the Required Principals,
      and
      then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only
      in
      the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that no material amendment to this Agreement
      shall be effective unless (solely to the extent required by the documents
      governing the securitization program of any applicable Conduit Principal),
      the
      Bank Principal (or its agent) for such Conduit Principal shall have received
      written confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating such Conduit
      Principal’s Short-Term Notes, that such action, event or condition will not
      cause the then current rating of such notes to be suspended, downgraded or
      withdrawn; and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or
      consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each
      Principal:  (a) change (directly or indirectly) the definitions
      of “Eligible Mortgage Loan”, “Portfolio Criteria”, “Purchase Price Percentage”
or “Required Principals”, (b) reduce fees payable by Seller to any
      Principal, or delay the dates on which such fees are payable, (c) change
      any Event of Default or Servicer Default or (d) change any of the
      provisions of this Section and provided, further, that
      (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase the Commitment of any
      Principal unless in writing and signed by such Principal and (ii) no
      amendment of any definition or any provision contained in this Agreement that
      specifically relates to the rights or obligations of the Custodian under this
      Agreement, if the effect of such amendment would materially and adversely affect
      the Custodian, without the Custodian’s prior written consent.

     

    Seller
      shall provide each rating agency then rating any Short-Term Notes with written
      notice of each amendment.  The costs and expenses associated with any
      such amendment shall be borne by the party requesting the
      amendment.

     

    24.  SEVERABILITY.  If
      any provision of any Transaction Document is declared invalid by any court
      of
      competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
      of
      the Transaction Documents, and each Transaction Document shall be enforced
      to
      the fullest extent permitted by law.

    25.  BINDING
      EFFECT:  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be binding
      and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
      and assigns, except that Seller may not assign or transfer any of its respective
      rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
      without the prior written consent of Agent.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
      CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
      YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (EXCEPT
      FOR SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
      LAW).

     

    26.  CONSENT
      TO JURISDICTION.  SELLER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY
      JURY.  SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
      JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES
      DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
      TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  SELLER
      HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, NON-EXCLUSIVE
      PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
      THE
      UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT
      TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION
      DOCUMENTS.

     

    27.  SINGLE
      AGREEMENT.  Seller, Agent and each Principal acknowledge that, and
      have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder and under
      the other Transaction Documents in consideration of and in reliance upon the
      fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
      contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each
      other.  Accordingly, Seller, Agent and each Principal each agree
      (i) to perform all of its respective obligations in respect of each
      Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
      obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions
      hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by
      any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made
      in
      consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any
      other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments,
      deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and
      netted.

     

    28.  INTENT.  Seller,
      each Principal and Agent recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase
      agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
      States Code, as amended (“Bankruptcy Code”).  It is understood
      that Agent’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets delivered to it in
      connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies
      pursuant to Section 13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such
      Transaction as described in Section 559 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy
      Code.

     

    29.  NOTICES
      AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS.  Notices and other communications
      provided for in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall be
      in
      writing and shall be delivered or mailed (or in the case of telegraphic
      communication, if by telegram, delivered to the telegraph company and, if by
      telex, telecopy, graphic scanning or other telegraphic communications equipment
      of the sending party hereto, delivered by such equipment) addressed, if to

      designate by giving written notice to the other parties
      hereunder.  All notices and other communications given to any party
      hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
      to

      when delivered to the telegraph company, charges prepaid, if by telegram, or

    30.  CONFIDENTIALITY.  Each
      of Agent and the Principals agrees to keep confidential all non-public
      information provided to it by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any other
      Transaction Document that is designated by such Person as confidential;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent Agent or any Principal from
      disclosing any such information (a) to Agent, any other Principal or any
      affiliate of any Principal, (b) to any participant or assignee (each, a
“Transferee”) of a Principal or prospective Transferee which agrees to
      comply with the provisions of this Section 30, (c) to any of its
      employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional
      advisors, (d) upon the request or demand of any governmental or regulatory
      authority having jurisdiction over it, (e) in response to any order of any
      court or other governmental authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant
      to any requirement of law, (f) if requested or required to do so in
      connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) which has been
      publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 30, (h) to the
      National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization
      or
      any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
      about a Principal’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
      respect to such Principal’s commercial paper or (i) in connection with the
      exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction
      Document.

     

    31.  NO
      PROCEEDINGS; LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.  Seller agrees not to cause
      the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceeding against
      any
      Conduit Principal so long as any Short-Term Notes or other senior indebtedness
      issued by such Conduit Principal shall be outstanding or there shall not have
      elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such commercial
      paper, promissory notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been
      outstanding.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Principal
      shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable
      by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless
      (i) such Conduit Principal has received funds which may be used to make
      such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Principal’s
      Short-Term Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment,
      either (x) such Conduit Principal could issue Short-Term Notes to refinance
      all of its outstanding Short-Term Notes (assuming such outstanding Short-Term
      Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing
      such Conduit Principal’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit
      Principal’s Short-Term Notes are paid in full.  Any amount which any
      Conduit Principal does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding
      sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the
      Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Principal for
      any
      such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Principal satisfies the
      provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.  The
      provisions of this Section 31 shall survive any termination of this
      Agreement.

    32.  POWER
      OF ATTORNEY.  Seller hereby authorizes Agent to file such
      financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets without
      their
      respective signatures thereon as Agent, at its option, may deem
      appropriate.  Seller hereby appoints Agent as its agent and
      attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in its
      name and to perform all other acts which Agent deems appropriate to perfect
      and
      continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby,
      if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets,
      including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks
      in
      documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as
      its
      agent and attorney-in-fact.  This agency and power of attorney is
      coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Agent’s
      consent.  Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing
      statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section.

     

    33.  RECORDING
      OF COMMUNICATIONS.  Agent, each Principal and Seller shall have
      the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be
      made
      tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other
      party with respect to Transactions.  Agent, each Principal and Seller
      consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration,
      or other proceedings.  The parties agree that a duly authenticated
      transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively
      evidencing the parties’ agreement.
