(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in each Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct. None of the Agency Agreements contains any unusual or burdensome servicing obligations or provisions which are not customary with respect to the Servicing Rights or contains provisions which vary from published Agency standards or which would have the effect of rendering the Purchaser’s servicing obligations recourse rather than nonrecourse, and no waivers with respect to any published or unpublished Agency Requirements have been obtained which adversely affect the credit quality or servicing of any Mortgage Loan. Mortgage Loans subject to interest rate subsidies do not exceed 5% of the dollar amount of loans delivered under this Agreement. No Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is a mobile home or manufactured housing unless such Mortgaged Property is eligible under the applicable FNMA and/or FHLMC program.

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to, but not including, the Transfer Date for each Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related 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 Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds with respect to taxes and insurance premiums has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day that precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect from the date of their origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the owner thereof. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been communicated to and approved by: (i) the Agency acquiring the related Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by the related Agency Requirements; (ii) the issuer of any related PMI Policy; and (iii) the title insurer, to the extent required by such policies, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released.

(e) Enforceability. Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note is genuine, valid, binding and enforceable document according to its terms, and conforms to all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, as amended, and Regulation Z. Neither the operation of any of the terms of any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, nor the exercise of any right thereunder, will render the Mortgage or Mortgage Note unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense (including without limitation, the defense of usury), and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(f) No Recourse. None of the Servicing Rights is subject to recourse against the servicer for losses on liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, borrower defaults or repurchase obligations upon the occurrence of non-payment or other events.

If upon origination of the Mortgaged Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance was required by federal regulation 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. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser on behalf of the applicable Agency upon Purchaser’s acquisition

of the related Servicing Rights in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either.

The original LTV of each Mortgage Loan either was not more than 80% or the excess over 75% is and will be insured by a Qualified Insurer as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to a level acceptable by FHLMC and/or FNMA, as applicable. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.

The relevant Agency, as assignee of the Seller’s rights, is an insured under such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s policy is in full force and effect. No

claims have been made under such lender’s policy, and the Seller has not committed any act or omission which would impair the coverage of such lender’s policy.

(u) No Defaults.

The Seller has not received notice from any Mortgagor or other party with respect to the Mortgage Loans of a request for relief pursuant to or involving any of the provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 or any other federal or state law which would have the effect of suspending or reducing the Borrower’s payment obligations under a Mortgage Loan or which would prevent such loan from going into foreclosure.

(11) Loan Documentation. None of the Mortgage Loans have been originated and underwritten without required documentation in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Agency Guides, as amended by Seller’s master agreements with the Agencies.

(mm) Tax Service Contracts. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 (m), Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to ensure that a “Life of Loan” tax contract shall be in place for each Mortgage Loan with TransAmerica Real Estate Tax Service.

(nn) Eligible Loans and Percent Limitations. The Servicing Rights sold under this Agreement conform to the specifications in the Mortgage Loan Characteristics attached hereto as Exhibit B. Except with respect to no more than five percent (5%) of the Mortgage Loans (“Odd Maturity Loans”), all loans are either 15 year fixed rate, 30 year fixed rate, 7 year balloon, or one year ARM Mortgage Loans sold to FHLMC under the FHLMC Gold Program. With respect to the Odd Maturity Loans, these loans shall be priced as 15 year fixed rate loans. The following characteristics exist for loans sold as of each Sale Date.

(i) The average loan size is:

$100,000 for 30 year fixed;

$ 75,000 for 15 year fixed;

$125,000 for 7 year balloon;

$105,000 for one year ARMS

(ii) The weighted average service fee is no more than .29% for fixed rate mortgages and .375% for ARMS.

(iii) The minimum average escrow balance is 1.04% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

(iv) The Mortgage Loans are current originations and are originated within 60 days of the Issue Date and will reflect the normal distribution of interest rates without any adverse selection.

(v) The weighted average mortgage rate is representative of current production and reflective of current market interest rates, but in no event is any individual Mortgage Loan interest rate greater than 8.5% for 30 year fixed rate loans and 8% for all other maturities.

(vi) Purchaser and Seller recognize that the criteria on Exhibit B represents limitations of the servicing to be delivered at the respective Transfer Dates. Both the Purchaser and the Seller recognize that flexibility is important as long as the economic value of the servicing to be delivered at the respective Transfer Date is not materially different from the criteria outlined on Exhibit B.

(oo) The Seller’s accounting method with respect to service fees associated with the servicing rights sold under the Agreement conforms to the “Safe Harbor” provisions of Revenue Ruling 91-46. This is in effect and will continue to remain in effect for the servicing rights delivered under the Agreement.

Section 5.04. Compliance with Percentage Limitations.

The Seller shall be deemed to have complied with the percentage limitations on condominium and buydown loans set forth in Section 5.03 (ee) and (gg) if the aggregate number of Mortgage Loans having such feature for which Servicing Rights have been transferred hereunder comply with such limitations.

Any cause of action against the Purchaser relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 5.01 shall take effect upon the last of (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Purchaser to cure such breach, and (iii) demand upon the Purchaser by the Seller for compliance with this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.02 and 5.03 shall survive the transfer of the Servicing Rights to the Purchaser, the delivery of the Servicing Files to the Purchaser and termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser. Upon discovery by either the Purchaser or the Seller of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Servicing Rights or the interest of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within thirty (30) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option within thirty. (30) Business Days following receipt by the Seller of notice thereof, pay the Purchaser the related Reimbursement Amount.

Any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be accomplished by the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Purchaser. At the Purchaser’s option, the Purchaser may deduct such Reimbursement Amount from the Purchase Price payable on the next Purchase Price Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.02. If no such subsequent Purchase Price Payment Date occurs for any reason or if after such deductions, any Reimbursement Amount remains unpaid, such Reimbursement Amount shall be paid as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph.

In addition to such reimbursement obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgment, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.02 or 5.03, any breach of the Seller’s obligations or covenants hereunder or the Seller’s refusal to provide the Purchaser with Agency Agreements.

Within thirty (30) calendar days of the Seller’s receipt of such notice from Purchaser, the Seller shall inform the Purchaser of the Seller’s preferred response to such repurchase request and a written explanation of the basis of such response. The Purchaser shall furnish to Seller, upon written request, a copy of the collection activity records on any Mortgage Loan subject to repurchase. The Purchaser shall determine whether the Seller’s disagreement with any repurchase request is reasonable. The Seller shall repurchase from the Purchaser any Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Purchaser has been required by any Agency to repurchase due to a breach by Seller of a representation or warranty made or incorporated into relevant Agency Agreements and not due to a breach of the Purchaser’s obligations thereunder arising after the relevant Settlement Date or pursuant to this Agreement.

In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes ninety (90) days delinquent and goes into foreclosure within six (6) months of the applicable Sale Date, Seller shall repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser and refund the Purchase Price.

The repurchase price to be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser shall equal that repurchase price paid by the Purchaser to the related Agency plus all reasonable costs and expenses borne by the Purchaser in connection with the repurchase of such Mortgage Loan from such Agency including, but not limited to, all costs and expenses of Purchaser incurred to cure such breach and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, the Seller shall repurchase the Servicing Rights with respect to such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at the Reimbursement Amount.

At the time of repurchase, the Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Custodian of any documents held by the relevant Agency with respect to the repurchased Mortgage Loan pursuant to the applicable Agency Requirements. In the event of a repurchase, the Purchaser shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Seller that such repurchase has taken place, and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the deletion of the repurchased Mortgaged Loan from this Agreement and forward to the Seller all the Mortgage Loan Documents, Servicing Files, related Escrow Accounts and records and documents relating to such Mortgage Loan.

In addition, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees, and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 6.03.

(i) the non-fulfillment or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or action required of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the failure to comply with the Servicing Transfer Procedures;

(ii) any act or omission, or alleged act or omission, or error, of the Seller or any employee, agent or representative acting on its behalf, with respect to the origination, underwriting, closing, or any of the Mortgage Loans or the formation of any Pools or any document, agreement or instrument relating thereto, occurring on or prior to the Settlement Date:

(iii) any fraud or misrepresentation in the origination of any Mortgage Loan whether or not as a result of any act or omission of the Seller or any employee, representative or agent acting on its behalf or the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan;

(iv) any of the Seller’s escrow practices, including any periods during which the Purchaser continues such practices until such time as the Purchaser has completed its regular escrow analysis cycle and any changes in payments made by Purchaser as a result of such cycle go into effect;

(v) any liabilities of, claims against or obligations of the Seller (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, including, without limitation, any tax claim asserted against the Purchaser with respect to any taxes relating to the operations of the Seller) existing as of or prior to the Settlement Date which were not expressly assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any instrument of assumption executed by the Purchaser to consummate the sale; and

(vi) the Seller’s failure to (a) provide the Purchaser all Agency Agreements, internal documents, loan agreements and other records which the Purchaser requests, or (b) provide accurate information requested by the Purchaser regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Rights.

The Seller shall not be entitled to settle, compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any such claim without the consent or agreement of the

Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but which may be denied because, among other reasons, it believes in good faith that such settlement, compromise or other disposition is likely to have an adverse impact on the Purchaser’s right or ability to enforce other mortgage loans or servicing rights or to preserve its authority and approvals to service the Mortgage Loans.

It is specifically understood that Crescent Banking Company by virtue of its parental relationship agrees to be jointly and severally liable, along with Crescent Mortgage Services, Inc., and Crescent Bank & Trust Company, to Purchaser under this Section 6.04.

Section 6.05. Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations.

Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents, as of the date hereof and when the relevant claim arises, from and against and shall reimburse it or them for, any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees, and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses incurred by Seller to the extent relating to or resulting from:

(i) any breach of Purchaser’s obligations under the Agency Agreements;

(ii) the non-fulfillment or nonperformance of any covenants, condition or action required of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) any act or omission, or alleged act or omission or error, of the Purchaser or any employee, agent or representative acting on its behalf, with respect to the servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans occurring after the Sale Date;

The indemnity provided in this Section 6.05 shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of a claim covered by this indemnity, the Purchaser shall immediately assume defense of such claim at its own cost and expense, with counsel approved by the Seller and the Purchaser shall be directly responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses and any award or judgment which may become due as a result of such claims; provided, however, that the Seller at its sole option instead may assume defense of such claim and continue to be protected under this indemnity if it reasonably believes such assumption is necessary or appropriate. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to settle, compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any such claim without the consent or agreement of the Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
