ARTICLE II
 
SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
 
Section 2.01. Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Servicing Agreement. 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 Cut-off Date Principal Balance, all interest due thereon after the Cut-off Date 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) (other than (a) the Servicing Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans (each as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and (b) any Reserved Rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans); (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 and (iv) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
 
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than (a) the Servicing Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans and (b) the Reserved Rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans). The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all such rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements as if the Purchaser had been a party to such agreement.
 
Section 2.02. Obligations of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In connection with the transfer 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 Trustee a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan the information required to be set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and such file, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Pooling 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.
 

2


In connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of the Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee (or a custodian as its designated agent), as assignee of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement including, but not limited to, the Servicing Agreement.
 
The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee, or a custodian appointed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to act on behalf of the Trustee, and that the Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, and its rights under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements, 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 right, title and interest 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 right, title and interest 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, 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.  In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans 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 $899,721,179.82 (which amount includes accrued interest) (the “Purchase Price”). The Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, including, without limitation, printing fees incurred in connection with the Prospectus Supplement and the Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Certificates, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees of the rating agencies requested to rate the Certificates, accountant’s fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket costs, if any.

ARTICLE IV
 
SELLER’S COVENANTS
 
Section 4.01. Covenants of the Seller.  The Seller hereby covenants that, except for the transfer hereunder, it will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest therein; it will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, of the existence of any Lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof; and it will defend the right, title and interest of the Trust, as assignee of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.
 
ARTICLE V
 
[Reserved]

ARTICLE VI
 
TERMINATION
 
Section 6.01. Termination.  The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate, except for the Seller’s indemnity obligations as provided herein, upon the termination of the Trust as provided in Article X of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
Section 7.01. Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.
 
Section 7.02. Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
 

6


Section 7.03. Notices.  All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
 
if to the Seller:
 
Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.
600 Steamboat Road
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830
Attention: Legal Department
 
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
 
if to the Purchaser:
 
Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc.
600 Steamboat Road
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830
Attention: Legal Department
 
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser.
 
Section 7.04. Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions of this 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 Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans.
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates. In that connection, the 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 the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.
 

7


Section 7.07. Intention of the Parties.  It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the 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 the 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 the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of the 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 the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans and the rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue the Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the 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 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.
 
Section 7.09. Survival.  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
 
Section 7.10. [Reserved]

(i) The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
 
(ii) The Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package as set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Confirmation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control, except to the extent specifically superseded by the Confirmation;
 
(iii) All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; no Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) or more days delinquent as of the Closing Date and there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;
 
(iv) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
 
(v) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
 
(vi) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. Each Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local law;
 

V-1


(vii) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies providing coverage in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
 
(viii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans and applicable to any prepayment penalty associated with the Mortgage Loans at origination have been complied with;
 
(ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;
 
(x) The Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
