Loan at any time before the related Closing Date and may be made by Purchaser
or
any prospective Subsequent Purchaser of such Mortgagee Loan at any time after
such Closing Date. If Purchaser makes such examination prior to the

terms
of the Purchase Price and Terms Letter, such Mortgage Loan shall be deleted
from
the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and may be replaced by a substitute Mortgage
Loan that conforms to the terms of the Purchase Price and Terms Letter and
that
is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Purchaser may, at its option
and without notice to Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans for
a
Transaction without conducting any partial or complete
examination. The failure or omission by Purchaser or any Subsequent
Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans to conduct any partial or complete examination
of the Mortgage Files shall not affect Purchaser's rights to demand repurchase
or other relief as provided under any Program Document.
Section

terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,

affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity,
regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at

been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, and such Purchase Price

Loans to Purchaser, nor the execution or delivery of the Program Documents,

or conflict with, result in a material breach or cause an
acceleration of or constitute a default under any material term of any material
indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party
or by which Seller is bound, or any statute, order or regulation applicable
to
Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, government body
or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over Seller.
(vii) There
are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to Seller's knowledge,
threatened against Seller that, in Seller's judgment, if determined adversely
to
Seller, would prevent the consummation of any of the Transactions or would
materially and aversely affect the interests of Purchaser in the Mortgage Loans,
taken as a whole, the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents
or the ability of Seller to fulfill the terms of any of the Program
Documents.
(viii) Seller
has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations,
including without limitation, the USA Patriot Act of 2001.
(b) Seller
hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan as of
each
respective Closing Date or such other date as may be specified below,
that:
(i) The
information set forth in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct
in
all material respects.
(ii) As
of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent in payment
more
than 29 days and the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no
material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; Seller has not advanced
funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from
a
party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) With
respect to those Mortgage Loans which are required to deposit funds into an
escrow account for payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and similar
items as they become due, there are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water
charges, sewer rents, assessments or other outstanding charges which constitute
a lien on the
related Mortgaged Property, and all escrow deposits have been collected, are
under the control of Seller, and have been applied to the payment of such items
in a timely fashion, in accordance with such Mortgage. With respect
to those Mortgage Loans for which escrow deposits are not required, to Seller's
knowledge, there are no delinquent taxes or other outstanding charges affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which constitute a lien on the related Mortgaged
Property.
(iv) The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments contained
in
the Mortgage File, approved, if necessary, by the insurer under any Primary
-22-
Mortgage
Insurance Policy and recorded in all places necessary to maintain the first
priority of the lien, the substance of which waiver, alteration or modification
is reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except by operation of law or in connection
with an assumption agreement which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage
File and the terms of which are reflected in the Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule.
(v) Neither
the Mortgage Note nor the Mortgage is 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, to Seller's knowledge, no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted by
any
Person with respect thereto.
(vi) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are required to be insured by a generally
acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other hazards as are customarily included in extended coverage in the area
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to standard property insurance
policies in compliance with Seller's policies as from time to time in
effect. To the best knowledge of Seller, all such property policies
are in effect. On the date of origination, such standard property
policies contained a standard mortgage clause naming Seller or the originator
of
the Mortgage Loan and their respective successors in interest as mortgagee
and
to the best knowledge of Seller, such clause is still in effect and, to Seller's
knowledge, all premiums due thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged
Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards under the National Flood Insurance Act
of
1994, as amended, such Mortgaged Property is covered by flood insurance in
the
amount required under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1994. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, authorizes the
holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and
expense should the Mortgagor fail to do so and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor.
(vii) At
the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan and thereafter, all requirements
of any federal or state law, including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending,
real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity or disclosure laws required to be complied with by Seller as the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been
complied with in all material respects.
(viii) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, canceled or
subordinated, in whole, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not
been
released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part (except for a
release that does not materially impair the security of the Mortgage Loan
or
release the effect of which is
-23-
reflected
in the loan-to-value ratio for the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Final
Mortgage Loan Schedule), nor to Seller's knowledge has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission.
(ix) Ownership
of the Mortgaged Property is held in fee simple or leasehold
estate. With respect to Mortgage Loans that are secured by a
leasehold estate, to Seller's knowledge: (i) the lease is valid, in full force
and effect, and conforms to all of Xxxxxx Mae's requirements for leasehold
estates; (ii) all rents and other payments due under the lease have been paid;
(iii) the lessee is not in default under any provision of the lease; (iv) the
term of the lease exceeds the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan by
at
least five (5) years; and (v) the terms of the lease provide a Mortgagee with
an
opportunity to cure any defaults. Except as permitted by the fifth
sentence of this paragraph (ix), the Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on
the
Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the
foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original principal
balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence on their face of any security interest or other interest or right
thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only
to
(1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way,
easements and other matters reflected in the public record as of the date of
recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally,
or
which are specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy
delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and either (A) which are
referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of
the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not in the aggregate adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
in
the aggregate 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, subsisting and enforceable first lien
and
first priority security interest on the property described
therein. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the security
instruments create a valid, enforceable and subsisting first priority security
interest in the Cooperative Apartment securing
the related Mortgage Note subject only to (a) the lien of the related
cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share
of payments for a blanket mortgage, if any, current and future real property
taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which
like
collateral is commonly subject, and (b) other matters to which the collateral
is
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided; provided, however, that the related
proprietary lease for the Cooperative Apartment may be subordinated or otherwise
subject to the lien of a Mortgage on the cooperative building.
-24-
(x) The
Mortgage Note is not subject to a third party's security interest or other
rights therein.
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and, to Seller's knowledge,
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency
and
other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors. To Seller's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note
and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and
to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. To Seller's
knowledge, the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly
executed by such parties. To Seller’s knowledge no fraud, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any
other
party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has
reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such
inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the
representations set forth herein. An obligor of the debt evidenced by
the Mortgage Note is a natural person. The proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder, and any and all requirements in the Mortgage as to completion of
any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with.
(xii) Seller
has good title to, and the full right to transfer and sell, the Mortgage Loan
free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest including, to the best knowledge of Seller, any lien, claim
or
other interest arising by operation of law. Seller has
full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest.
(xiii) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is
located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in paragraph (ix) (1)
(2)
and (3) above) Seller, its successors and assigns, the first priority lien
of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to
Purchaser or the assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest therein does
not
require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. To Seller's knowledge, no claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
-25-
Mortgage
has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy.
(xiv) To
Seller's knowledge, there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of
any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration, except for any Mortgage Loan Payment which is not
late
by more than 30 days, and Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation
or event permitting acceleration.
(xv)
To Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which
have been filed for work, labor or material (and, to Seller's knowledge, no
rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal
or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
(xvi) To
Seller's knowledge, all material improvements subject to the Mortgage, lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restrictions lines of the Mortgaged
Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit)
and
no improvements on adjoining properties materially encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy
referred to in paragraph (xiii) above and all improvements on the property
comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances.
(xvii) Each
Mortgage Loan (except for any Mortgage Loan designated as originated by others
on any Final Mortgage Loan Schedule) was originated by Seller, and at the time
of each such origination of such Mortgage Loan Seller was (except for any
Mortgage Loan designated as “originated prior to HUD approval” on any Final
Mortgage Loan Schedule) a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development (the “Secretary”) pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten generally
in accordance with the Underwriting Guide as in effect at the time of
origination. The Mortgage contains the usual and customary provision
of Seller, if any, in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of origination
for
the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of
the
Mortgagee thereunder.
(xviii) The
Mortgaged Property at origination or acquisition was and, to Seller's knowledge,
is free of material damage and waste and at origination there was, and to
Seller's knowledge there is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation thereof.
(xix) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to
render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby,
-26-
including,
(1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale
or judicial foreclosure, and (2) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Seller has no knowledge of any homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage.
(xx) If
the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified if required
under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently
so serves as named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or
will become payable to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xxi) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, there is an appraisal on a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac approved form (or a narrative residential appraisal) of the related
Mortgaged Property that conforms to the applicable requirements of the Financial
Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act and that was signed prior
to
the origination of such Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser,
appointed by Seller or the originator of such Mortgage Loan, as appropriate,
who
has no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the
approval or disapproval of such Mortgage Loan.
(xxii) No
Mortgage Loan contains “subsidized buydown” or graduated payment
features.
(xxiii) The
Mortgaged Property has a single-family (one to four-unit) dwelling residence
erected thereon, or is an individual condominium unit in a condominium, or
a
Cooperative Apartment or an individual unit in a planned unit development or
in
a de minimis planned unit development as defined by Xxxxxx
Mae. No such residence is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling
which is not permanently attached to the land.
(xxiv) Except
as
set forth on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule no Mortgage Loan is a Converted
Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan provides for negative
amortization.
(xxv) No
Mortgage Loan has an original term in excess of thirty (30) years.
(xxvi) With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, (a) there is no provision in any proprietary
lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the cooperative shares
owned by such Mortgagor first to the cooperative, (b) there is no prohibition
in
the proprietary lease against pledging the cooperative shares or assigning
the
proprietary lease, (c) to Seller's knowledge, the Cooperative Apartment is
lawfully occupied under applicable law, and (d) to Seller's knowledge, all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Cooperative
-27-
Apartment
and the related project have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities.
(xxvii) There
exists no circumstance or condition with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property or use thereof, the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor’s credit
standing or the documentation in the Mortgage File that can reasonably be
expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan
as
an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or
adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.
(xxviii) No
Mortgage
Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty; provided, however, that any Mortgage
Loan that is subject to a prepayment penalty as provided in the related Mortgage
Note (i) is identified on the related Final Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) with
respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October 1, 2002, no such
prepayment penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five (5) years
following origination and (iii) with respect to Mortgage Loans originated on
or
after October 1, 2002, no such prepayment penalty may be imposed for a term
in excess of three (3) years following origination.
(xxix) No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in
violation of any comparable state or local law.
(xxx) The
Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(xxxi) There
is no
Mortgage Loan that was originated or modified on or after October 1, 2002 and
on
or prior to March 7, 2003, which is secured by property located in the State
of
Georgia.
(xxxii) Seller
has, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, caused to be fully
furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable)
on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit
Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
basis.
(xxxiii) No
Mortgagor
was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health
insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.
No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the
Mortgage Loan. In connection with the origination of any Mortgage
Loan, no proceeds from such Mortgage Loan were used to finance or acquire
a
single premium credit insurance policy.
-28-
(xxxiv) The
Mortgagor
has not notified Seller, and Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested
or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or other
similar state statute.
(xxxv) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, flood service contract
issued by either First American Flood Data Services, Integrated Loan Services
or
Fidelity, and such contract is transferable.
(xxxvi) Each
Mortgage
Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued
by
First American Real Estate Tax Service or Fidelity, and such contract is
transferable.
(c) The
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5(a) and 5(b)
shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery of the Mortgage
Files to Purchaser notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement
on
any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination of any Mortgage File. Upon
discovery by either Seller or Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the
interests of Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other. Seller shall have a
period of ninety (90) days from its discovery or its receipt of notice of any
such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. If any such
breach cannot be corrected or cured within such ninety-day period, Seller shall,
not later than ninety (90) days following discovery or its receipt of notice
of
such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the above
sentence, within ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice
of
any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in clause (xxviii),
(xxix), (xxx), (xxxi), (xxxii) and (xxxiii) of Section 5(b), Seller
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be at
a price equal to (i) the Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus
(ii) accrued interest on such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate from the date to which interest on such Assumed Principal
Balance at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate has last been paid and distributed
to Purchaser to the date of repurchase. Any such repurchase shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the repurchase
price, after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect of such
repurchased Mortgage Loan and being held in the Custodial Account for future
distribution in accordance with the Amended and Restated Master Servicing
Agreement.
If
Seller
is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the preceding paragraph
on or prior to the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the related
Closing Date, Seller may, at its option, substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for such deficient Mortgage Loan within such one hundred and
twenty (120) day period, in lieu of repurchasing such deficient Mortgage
Loan. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, Seller shall effect such
substitution by delivering to Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other
documents and agreements as are required by Section
3(b). Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly
Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans in the month following the date of
-29-
such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by
Seller. For the month of substitution, distribution to Purchaser will
include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month
of
substitution, and Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received by Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser that such
substitution has taken place and shall amend the related Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms
of
this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan. Upon such substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and Seller
shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5(a) and 5(b)
hereof. Purchaser shall promptly effect the reconveyance of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan to Seller.
For
any
month in which Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, Seller will determine the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by
Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Amended
and
Restated Master Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, on the date of such
substitution, Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account
an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall in accordance with the Amended
and Restated Master Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, on the date of
such substitution, the Seller will remit to the Purchaser from its own funds
an
amount equal to the amount of such shortfall plus one month’s interest thereon
at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate minus the related Servicing
Fee.
In
addition to such cure, repurchase or substation obligation, Seller shall
indemnify Purchaser and hold it harmless against any loss, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs
and
expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of Seller's representations and
warranties contained in Sections 5(a) and 5(b)
hereof. Seller's obligation to cure a breach, or to repurchase or
substitute a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify Purchaser as provided
in
this Section 5(c), constitute the sole remedies of Purchaser
respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties.
(d) Seller
shall repurchase each Converted Mortgage Loan on or before the first day of
the
month immediately following the date of such conversion at a price equal to
(i)
the Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, plus (ii) accrued interest
on such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Interest Rate from the date
to
which interest has last been paid and
distributed to Purchaser to the date of repurchase. Any such
repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Custodial Account of the
amount set forth in the preceding sentence.

MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
COLLECTABILITY OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS, THE SECURITY THEREFOR OR THE STATUS OF

Master Servicing Agreement for the benefit of Purchaser, as the initial

Agreement.
The
Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section
