DEFINITIONS AND SCHEDULES Section 1.01. Definitions. Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. ARTICLE II. SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND THE CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE Section 2.01. Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights. The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance, and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-Off Date (and all principal received before the Cut-Off Date to the extent such principal relates to a Monthly Payment due after the Cut-Off Date); (ii) property which secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (iv) any Additional Collateral with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise such Contractual Rights under each Servicing Agreement and such TMFI Contractual Rights as if the Purchaser had been a party to each such Servicing Agreement and the TMFI Purchase Agreement, respectively. Section 2.02. Obligations of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In connection with the transfer and assignment pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee, a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-Off Date, (i) its account number and (ii) the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and such file, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, shall also be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of the Purchaser and the Issuer cause the Initial Seller to deliver to, and deposit with the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian), on or before the Closing Date, the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement including, but not limited to, the Mortgage File, the Servicing Agreements and a copy of the TMFI Purchase Agreement. In the case of the Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to execution of this Agreement, the Seller, in lieu of causing the Initial Seller to deliver the related Mortgage Files, shall cause the Initial Seller to deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayments that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement have been so deposited. The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser that it has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been transferred as directed by the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all rights, title and interests in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights, now existing or hereafter created, conveyed to it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a non-recourse sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller's rights, title and interests in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller's rights, title and interests in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether now existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller's obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Indenture. Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related assets, the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the Closing Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $1,496,172,509.18 (which amount includes accrued interest) (the "Purchase Price").

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans, the Contractual Rights and the TMFI Contractual Rights for the purpose of selling and assigning them to the Issuer which will pledge them to the Indenture Trustee. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Issuer of the TMFI Contractual Rights which may be enforced or exercised with the same force and effect as if they had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
