(8) | If the Loan was originated or acquired by the Seller more than thirty (30) days before its Purchase Date. |
(9) | That is In Default or ever was In Default. |
(10) | That contains any term or condition such that the repayment schedule results in the outstanding principal balance increasing over time, rather than amortizing, whether or not such Mortgage Loan is deemed to be an “option ARM”, “negative amortization” or “graduated payment” loan. |
(11) | In connection with the origination of which a policy of single-premium life insurance on the life of a mortgagor, borrower or guarantor was purchased. |
(12) | That (i) is subject to the special Truth-in-Lending disclosure requirements imposed by Section 32 of Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board (12 C.F.R. §226.32) or any similar state or local Law relating to high interest rate credit or lending transactions or (ii) contains any term or condition, or involves any loan origination practice, that (1) has been defined as “high cost”, “high risk”, “predatory”, “covered”, “threshold” or a similar term under any such applicable federal, state or local law, (2) has been expressly categorized as an “unfair” or “deceptive” term, condition or practice in any such applicable federal, state or local law (or the regulations promulgated thereunder) or (3) by the terms of such Law exposes assignees of Mortgage Loans to possible civil or criminal liability or damages or exposes any Buyer or the Agent to regulatory action or enforcement proceedings, penalties or other sanctions. |
(13) | That the Seller or any Affiliate has previously warehoused with any other Person, whether under a lending arrangement or an arrangement involving a sale in contemplation of a subsequent further sale to (or securitization by) a secondary mortgage market purchaser, whether with or without the Seller’s having any conditional repurchase or other recourse obligation, and that was rejected or became ineligible or disqualified to be lent against or purchased and held by such other Person. |
(14) | That the Seller or any Affiliate sold and transferred, or attempted to sell and transfer, to any other Person. |

Ex. B-2

(16) | As to which any Disqualifier exists. |
(17) | Unless all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Loan is subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Buyers subject to no other liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances other than the Seller’s right to repurchase the Purchased Loan hereunder. |
(18) | Unless all the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 15.3 and Schedule 15.4 are true and correct with respect to such Purchased Loan at all times on and after the related Purchase Date, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall have three (3) Business Days after issuance of the Custodian’s Exception Report to correct any document exceptions listed therein. |
