(ee)

As of the origination date of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is lawfully permitted to be occupied under applicable law.

(ff)

No law relating to servicing, collection, notification practices or origination practices, has been violated in connection with any Mortgage Loan transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws.  Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(nn)

Each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage, the related Assignment and any other related documents required to be delivered with respect to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have been delivered to the Trustee or its designee, all in compliance with the specific requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.05.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 7.06.

Further Agreements.  The parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in the Mortgage Loans.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Sellers, each Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates.  In that connection, each Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of such Seller as are reasonably required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.

Section 7.07.

Intention of the Parties.  It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and each Seller is selling, the related Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to such Seller.  Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction as a sale by each Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the related Mortgage Loans.  The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and each Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

Section 7.08.

Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee.  The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which such Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of such Seller.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue the Certificates representing undivided inter ests in such Mortgage Loans.  As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, each Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against such Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the applicable Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee.  Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
