The Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Sellers acknowledge that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Sellers acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agree to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Sellers shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or such Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Sellers, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or such Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Sellers by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

Section 6.4 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Sellers

(a) Each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided by such Seller to the Purchaser or such Depositor under Section 6.5(a) for a Permitted Reconstitution that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor, as applicable: (i) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator; and (ii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB (other than the affiliation between Washington Mutual Bank and Washington Mutual Bank fsb, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank).
