EXECUTION VERSION

		Master Repurchase Agreement
		September 1996 Version

From time to time the parties hereto may enter into transactions in which one party (“Seller”) agrees to transfer to the other (“Buyer”) securities or other assets (“Securities”) against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to Seller such Securities at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by Seller. Each such transaction shall be referred to herein as a “Transaction” and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be governed by this Agreement, including any supplemental terms or conditions contained in Annex I hereto and in any other annexes identified herein or therein as applicable hereunder.

September 1996 Master Repurchase Agreement

Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash, apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed.

Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof.

Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.

Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase Purchased Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one (1) business day’s notice, to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation made by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an “Event of Default”):

Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Securities subject to any Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Security, the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Securities).

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder 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, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its 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, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either 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 Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph, messenger or otherwise to the address specified in Annex II hereto, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding sentence.

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR, (i) Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Pricing Rate” are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Transactions as provided herein; or (ii) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on LIBOR, then Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Seller shall, at its option, either repurchase such Assets or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as reasonably determined by Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Assets.”

If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by written notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash or, upon written approval by Buyer, additional Assets reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Assets”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller).

“(a) The parties agree that in any Transaction hereunder whose term extends over an Income payment date for the Assets subject to such Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written direction from Buyer, Seller shall (i) segregate all Income collected by or on behalf of Seller on account of the Purchased Assets and shall hold such Income in trust for the benefit of Buyer that is clearly marked as such in Seller’s records and (ii) remit such Income to the Collection Account for deposit therein no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets, whether by Buyer, the applicable Custodian or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Assets had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date. On each Repurchase Date, Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion) either (i) transfer (or permit the servicer to transfer) to Seller Income received as of such date with respect to any Purchased Assets subject to such

A1 - 15

Transaction, or (ii) if a Margin Deficit then exists, apply the Income to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Assets sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (ii) if a Default or Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed.

(b) On each Repurchase Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer all accrued but unpaid Price Differential for each Transaction outstanding hereunder.”

“(a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’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 obligations, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) all Purchased Assets identified on a Confirmation delivered by Seller to Buyer and the custodian from time to time, (ii) any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased Assets, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Asset accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, (iii) all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or servicing file, (iv) the Collection Account and all amounts on deposit therein and all Income relating to such Purchased Assets, (v) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets, (vi) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related Mortgaged Property and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (vii) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or take-out commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto, (viii) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “deposit accounts”, “documents,” “general intangibles”, “instruments”, “investment property”, and “securities accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the UCC, in each case solely to the extent relating to or constituting the foregoing, and all cash and cash equivalents and all products and proceeds in each case solely to the extent relating to or constituting any or all of the items listed in the foregoing clauses (i) – (vii), (ix) the Servicing Records and the related Servicing Rights, (x) all of Seller’s rights under any Escrow Instruction Letters and Insured Closing Letters with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are Wet Loans and (xi) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”). Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder until such time that such Purchased Items are no longer subject to a Transaction under this Agreement.

Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Related Credit Enhancement”).

This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(c) Seller shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Annex II, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the physical location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all UCC financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(d) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, solely for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(e) The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Items and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents and Buyer performs or complies, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(g) Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account.

If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”). Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Paragraph 23(d), provided that Buyer shall have provided such Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Paragraph 23 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

(a) Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) the termination thereof by Buyer pursuant to subsection (d) below, (ii) thirty (30) days after the last Purchase Date of such Purchased Asset, (iii) a Default or an Event of Default, (iv) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full, or (v) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Upon any such termination, Seller shall comply with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 31(f) as to the delivery of the Servicing Records and the physical servicing of each Purchased Asset.

(b) During the period Seller is servicing the Purchased Assets, (i) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the Servicing Rights and the Servicing Records, and (ii) Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Paragraph 31 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Subservicer to safeguard, such Servicing Records and to deliver them, or cause any such Subservicer to deliver them to the extent permitted under the related Servicing Agreement promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the applicable Custodian) at Buyer’s request or otherwise as required by operation of Paragraph 31(f) hereof. It is understood and agreed by the parties that prior to an Event of Default, Seller, as servicer shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(c) If any Asset that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Asset is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Assets.

(d) In addition to the rights provided in Paragraph 31(a), Buyer shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole discretion, upon written notice, to terminate Seller or any Subservicers as servicer or subservicer, respectively, and any related Servicing Agreement, free and clear of any obligations (including without limitation any obligation to pay or reimburse any previous servicer for outstanding servicing advances). Upon any such termination, Seller shall transfer or shall cause Subservicer to transfer such servicing with respect to such Purchased Assets to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the transfer of servicing.

(e) Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to appoint a third party to perform due diligence with respect to Seller’s servicing facilities at any time as they relate to the Program Documents. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees to provide access to Seller’s servicing facilities including without limitation its books and records with respect to Seller’s servicing portfolio and the Purchased Assets. In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer as they relate to the Program Documents and to cause such Subservicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees in connection with any due diligence performed by Buyer and/or such designees in accordance with this Paragraph 31(e). Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any due diligence or inspection performed pursuant to this Paragraph 31(e) shall be paid by Buyer.

(f) With respect to the Servicing Rights appurtenant to each Purchased Asset, Buyer shall own, and Seller shall deliver, such Servicing Rights to Buyer on the related Purchase Date. Seller shall deliver (or cause the related Subservicer to deliver) the Servicing Records and the physical and contractual servicing of each Purchased Asset, to Buyer or its designee upon the termination of Seller or Subservicer as the servicer or subservicer, respectively, pursuant to Paragraph 31(d). In addition, with respect to the Servicing Records for each Purchased Asset and the physical and contractual servicing of each Purchased Asset, the related Seller shall deliver (or cause the related Subservicer to deliver) such Servicing Records and, to the extent applicable, the servicing to Buyer or its designee within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (i) the termination of Seller or Subservicer as the servicer or subservicer, respectively, of the Purchased Assets and (ii) the related Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset (the “Servicing Delivery Requirement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Servicing Delivery Requirement will be deemed restated for each such Purchased Asset on each Repurchase Date on which such Purchased Asset is repurchased by Seller and becomes subject to a new Transaction (and the immediately preceding delivery requirement will be deemed to be rescinded), and a new thirty (30) day Servicing Delivery Requirement will be deemed to commence for such Purchased Assets as of such Repurchase Date in the absence of directions to the contrary from Buyer. Further, the Servicing Delivery Requirement will no longer apply to any Purchased Asset that is repurchased in full by the related Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and is no longer subject to a Transaction. Seller’s transfer of the Servicing Rights, Servicing Records and the physical and contractual servicing under this Paragraph 31(f) shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related Mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”).
