Buyer has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have
asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a
Pricing Rate based on LIBOR.
-23-
(6) Representations and Warranties. Both immediately prior to the
related Transaction and also after giving effect thereto and to the
intended use thereof, the representations and warranties made by Seller in
each Program Agreement shall be true, correct and complete on and as of
such Purchase Date in all material respects with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or
warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of
such specific date).
(7) Electronic Tracking Agreement. To the extent Seller is selling

determination of Buyer resulting in the effective absence of a "repo
market" or comparable "lending market" for financing debt obligations
secured by mortgage loans or securities or an event or events shall
have occurred resulting in Buyer not being able to finance Purchased
Assets through the "repo market" or "lending market" with traditional

occurrence of such event or events; or
(c) an event or events shall have occurred resulting in the
effective absence of a "securities market" for securities backed by

11. Program; Costs
a. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any of Buyer's reasonable
out-of-pocket costs, including due diligence review costs and reasonable
attorney's fees, incurred by Buyer in determining the acceptability to Buyer of
any Mortgage Loans. Seller shall also pay, or reimburse Buyer if Buyer shall
pay, any termination fee, which may be due any servicer. Seller shall pay the
fees and expenses of Buyer's counsel in connection with the Program Agreements.
Legal fees for any subsequent amendments to this Agreement or related documents
shall be borne by Seller. Seller shall pay ongoing custodial and bank fees and
expenses as set forth on Exhibit M hereto, and any other ongoing fees and
expenses under any other Program Document.
b. If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change
in, or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement or
(ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from
any central bank or other Governmental
-24-
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase
in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then
Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a
copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by Buyer
as sufficient to compensate Buyer for such increased costs.
c. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant
to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which
it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error, provided, however, that the Buyer shall use good
faith efforts to (i) calculate such amounts in a manner which is consistent with
the manner in which it makes calculations for comparable claims with respect to
similarly situated sellers and (ii) not allocate to the Seller a proportionately
greater amount of such additional compensation than it allocates to each of its
other similarly situated sellers.
d. With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon,
and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other
communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a
person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller's behalf, whether or not
such person is listed on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(5)
hereof. In each such case, the terms of the Purchase Confirmation, request or
other communication shall be deemed correct absent manifest error.

respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer, Seller agrees and covenants
with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller's rights and remedies set forth in the
Program Agreements.
f. Any payments made by Seller to Buyer shall be free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes; provided, however, that if
such payer shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any taxes from any
sums payable to Buyer, then such payer shall (A) make such deductions or
withholdings and pay such amounts to the relevant authority in accordance with
applicable law, (B) pay to Buyer the sum that would have been payable had such
deduction or withholding not been made, and (C) at the time Price Differential
is paid, pay to Buyer all additional amounts as specified by Buyer to preserve
the after-tax yield Buyer would have received if such tax had not been imposed.
12. Servicing
a. Seller, on Buyer's behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if
Seller is the Servicer, Seller shall, service the Mortgage Loans consistent with
the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to
similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal,
State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal
licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder
and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment
thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the
then-existing servicer in accordance with Section 12(e) hereof.

by Servicer on the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the Collection Account no later

required to be remitted to Buyer shall be deposited in the Collection Account on
or prior to the day on which such remittance is to occur.
d. Upon Buyer's request, Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer (i) a
Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related
Purchased Mortgage Loans, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may
reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer
of Buyer's interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Servicer's
agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will
follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans
and any related Income with respect thereto.
e. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or a material
default under the Servicing Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to immediately
terminate the Servicer's right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans under the
Servicing Agreement without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller
and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole
discretion.
f. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller
or any entity responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased
Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller's obligations under the Program
Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the
Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.
13. Representations and Warranties
a. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and
as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:
(1) Seller Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
(2) Licenses. Seller is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in
each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it
conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local
laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take
such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the
aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect (hereinafter defined) and is
not, to the best of Seller's knowledge, in default of such state's
applicable laws, rules and regulations. Seller has the requisite power and
authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as
applicable) and to own, sell and xxxxx x xxxx on all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, and to execute and deliver,
engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the
terms and conditions of, this Agreement, each Program Agreement and any
Transaction Request or, if
-26-
applicable, Purchase Confirmation. Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and
VA Approved Lender.
(3) Power. Seller has all requisite corporate or other power, and has
all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary
to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to
be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(4) Due Authorization. Seller has all necessary corporate or other
power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. This
Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and the Program
Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements and any
Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation not yet executed, will be) duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, all requisite corporate
action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable
against Seller in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may
be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general
principles of equity.
(5) Financial Statements. The Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer
a copy of (a) its consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year of the
Seller ended December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Seller and its
consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case
in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion
thereon of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP and (b) its consolidated balance sheet for
the quarterly fiscal periods of the Seller ended March 31, 2001 and June
30, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained
earnings and of cash flows for the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries
for such quarterly fiscal periods, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the previous year. All such financial
statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Seller and its
Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such
dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis. Since December 31, 2000, there has been no material
adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial
condition of the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole
from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any
state of facts which (without notice or the lapse of time) would or could
result in any such material adverse change. The Seller has, on the date of
the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the "Statement Date") no
liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured,
known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual
forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in,
said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there
are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances
or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in
writing.
(6) Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section
15(b) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate
indebtedness as referenced in
-27-
Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other
instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to
the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.
(7) Solvency. Seller is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by
any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be
left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in
its business. Seller does not intend to incur, nor believes that it has
incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is
not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation
or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any
of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon
the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Buyer constitutes reasonably
equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Mortgage Loans.
Seller is not transferring any Purchased Mortgage Loans with any intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.
(8) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller
of this Agreement, any Transaction Request or Purchase Confirmation
hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or
provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Seller or any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree
applicable to Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency
or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller, which conflict would
have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any
such mortgage, instrument, agreement or repurchase agreement.
(9) True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits,
schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller, any Material
Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to
Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of
Seller, or any Material Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation,
preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete
and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the
statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
are made, not misleading. All financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
(10) Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
registration or filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or
court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement, any Transaction
Request, Purchase Confirmation and the Program Agreements.
(11) Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation
pending with respect to which Seller has received service of process or, to
the best of Seller's knowledge threatened against it before any court,
administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of
this Agreement, any Transaction, Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation
or any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any
-28-
Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any Program Agreement, (C)
makes a claim or claims in an aggregate amount greater than $1,000,000, (D)
which requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder or (E) which might
materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the
performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase
Confirmation or any Program Agreement.
(12) Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse
change in the business, operations, financial conditions, properties or
prospects of Seller or its Material Affiliates since the date set forth in
the most recent financial statements supplied to Buyer.
(13) Ownership. Upon payment of the Purchase Price and the filing of
the financing statement and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian
and the Custodian's receipt of the related Request for Certification, Buyer
shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related
Repurchase Assets, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances subject to
Seller's right to repurchase such Mortgage Loans hereunder.
(14) Underwriting Guidelines. The Underwriting Guidelines provided to
Buyer are the true and correct Underwriting Guidelines of Seller.
(15) Taxes. Seller and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal income
tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or
pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such
taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate
reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of Seller, and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of Seller, adequate.
(16) Investment Company. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is
an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment
company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
(17) Chief Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Organization. During the
four months immediately preceding July 1, 2001 and on the Effective Date,

office or place of business or jurisdiction. Seller has no trade name.
During the preceding five years, Seller has not been known by or done
business under any other name, corporate or fictitious, and has not filed
or had filed against it any bankruptcy receivership or similar petitions
nor has it made any assignments for the benefit of creditors.
-29-

contributions, and, to the knowledge of Seller, each other Plan and each
Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been
administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law.
(21) Adverse Selection. Seller has not selected the Purchased Mortgage
Loans in a manner so as to adversely affect Buyer's interests.
(22) Agreements. Neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller is a party to
any agreement, instrument, or indenture or subject to any restriction materially
and adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition,
except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 13(a)(5)
hereof. Neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default
would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, properties, or financial condition of Seller as a whole. No holder
of any indebtedness of Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of
any asserted default thereunder.
(23) Other Indebtedness. All Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
evidenced by this Agreement) of Seller existing on the date hereof is listed on
Exhibit J hereto (the "Existing Indebtedness").

extent necessary, Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and a VA Approved Lender.

an approved seller/servicer, and, to the extent necessary, approved by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of
the National Housing Act. In each such case, Seller is in good standing, with no
event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or
suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the Agency Security or the
consummation of the Take-out Commitment, as the case may be, including, without
limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller unable
to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable
approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or to the Department of
Housing and Urban Development, FHA or VA. Should Seller for any reason cease to
possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to the relevant
Agency or to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, FHA or VA
-30-
be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer immediately in writing. Seller
has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and
experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans
of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
b. With respect to every Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller represents
and warrants to Buyer as of the applicable Purchase Date for any Transaction and
each date thereafter that each representation and warranty set forth on Schedule
1 is true and correct.

shall survive transfer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Buyer and shall
continue for so long as the Purchased Mortgage Loans are subject to this
Agreement. Upon discovery by Seller, Servicer or Buyer of any breach of any of
the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, the party
discovering such breach shall promptly give notice of such discovery to the
others. Buyer has the right to require, in its unreviewable discretion, Seller
to repurchase within 1 Business Day after receipt of notice from Buyer any
Purchased Mortgage Loan (i) for which a breach of one or more of the
representations and warranties referenced in Section 13(b) exists and which

interests of Buyer or (ii) which is determined by Buyer, in its good faith
discretion, to be unacceptable for inclusion in a securitization.

expressly approved in writing by Buyer, which approval shall be deemed granted
by Buyer with respect to Seller with the execution of this Agreement.

any Servicer to defend, the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to all
Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Repurchase Assets against all adverse
claims and demands.
h. Assignment. Except as permitted herein, neither Seller nor any
Servicer shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any

Custodian's possession unless Buyer otherwise approves. Seller will not
allow any such papers, records or files that are an original or an only

exist any Guarantees, except (i) to the extent reflected in Seller's financial
statements or notes thereto and (ii) to the extent the aggregate Guarantees of

exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an
Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed
exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder
shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except
that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet
occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction
shall be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence
of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as
promptly as practicable.
-37-
b. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller's obligations in
such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans, at the Repurchase
Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph
(a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii)
all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by
Buyer and applied, in Buyer's sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid
Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing
by Seller hereunder, and (iii) unless Seller satisfies all of its Obligations
hereunder, Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Mortgage Files relating
to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller's
possession or control.
c. Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and
to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of
Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and all documents relating to
the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any legal, credit
or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans) which are then
or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting
for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Mortgage Loans held
by Custodian, Buyer shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt and
Certification. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements
of Seller contained in this Agreement.
d. Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing
any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if
any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts
received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer.
Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers
then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause. In addition,
Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans.
Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Buyer's option, on
either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall be
entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of
mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and
to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer
shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans individually

reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and
expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any
other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation
or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors'
rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred
in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an
amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of
entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge
transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and
-38-
(iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from
the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
g. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable
to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date
Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid
in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer's rights
hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16(g) shall
be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.
h. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights
otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.
i. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent
provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter
while such Event of Default is continuing without notice to Seller. All rights
and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder
are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may
have.
j. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior
judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses
Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial
process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or
performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial
process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Mortgage
Loans, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that
nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive
to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.
k. Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with
respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, which review shall be at the expense
of Seller.
17. Reports
a. Notices. Seller shall furnish to Buyer (x) promptly, copies of any

the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer
or otherwise convey the Purchased Mortgage Loans with a counterparty of Buyer's

shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans to

from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable
notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller. Buyer may from time to time
assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the Program Agreements; provided, however that Buyer shall maintain, for review
by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an
executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee ("Assignment and
Acceptance"), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and
obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party
hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion
set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable
rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent
that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to
-43-
either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii)
to another Person approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld) which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its
obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements. Unless otherwise stated
in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions
solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may
distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information
delivered to Buyer by Seller.
23. Set-off
In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by
law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice
being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply
against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer
agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by
Buyer; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application.
24. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction
a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Seller
acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the

other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
b. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. SELLER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. SELLER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO,
EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX
AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH
RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.
25. No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either
party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of
any remedy hereunder by
-44-
any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy
hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no
consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until
such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.
Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice
pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of
any right to do so at a later date.
26. Intent
a. The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Purchased Mortgage Loans
subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such
definition inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in
Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as
the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable).
b. It is understood that either party's right to liquidate
Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions
hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a
contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and
559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
c. The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an
"insured depository institution," as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, as amended ("FDIA"), then each Transaction hereunder is a
"qualified financial contract," as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules,
orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets
subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
d. It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a "netting
contract" as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") and each payment entitlement and
payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a "covered
contractual payment entitlement" or "covered contractual payment obligation",
respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both
of the parties is not a "financial institution" as that term is defined in
FDICIA).
27. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
a. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the
provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder;
b. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with
the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to
the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and
-45-
c. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a
Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund, as applicable.
28. Power of Attorney
Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or
statements which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership
interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby relating to the
Purchased Mortgage Loans, without Seller's signature thereon as Buyer, at its
option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller's agent and
attorney-in-fact to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Mortgage
Loans, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete
blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of
Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency and power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer's consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be
exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default
hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or
statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.
29. Buyer May Act Through Affiliates
Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more
affiliates for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.
30. Indemnification; Obligations
a. Seller agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective
Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each,
an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and
will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to
or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase
Confirmation, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse each
Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy
provided for herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and any
Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel. Seller's agreements in this Section 30 shall survive
the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of
this Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are
recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each
Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller
