promptly secure the delivery of such originals and shall cause such originals

If any such document is not so delivered to Purchaser or the Custodian within
one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (or such longer
period of time as may be necessitated solely as a result in delays caused by a
party other than the Seller), the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the
request of Purchaser, (i) be repurchased by Seller at the price specified in
Section 5(c), or (ii) be replaced by a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (the
election of (i) or (ii) being at the option of Purchaser), provided that the
Purchaser gives the Seller notice within ten (10) days of the expiration of
such delivery period.
No Assignment of Mortgage evidencing the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be recorded by Seller unless required by law. Purchaser may at
its option and expense (including recordation fees) prepare and record any
Assignment of Mortgage.
From and after the related Closing Date, Seller, as bailee (the
"Bailee"), shall continue to hold the Mortgage Files as custodian and bailee
for the Purchaser, the owner of the related Mortgage Loans, and shall issue in
the name of the Purchaser or its designee, a trust receipt in the form of

known as release date(s) (each, a "Release Date").
In the event that the Bailee fails to deliver any Mortgage File, or
any component thereof, in connection with the Purchaser's instructions, the
Bailee shall indemnify the Purchaser for and hold the Purchaser harmless
against any and all liability, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
arising out of such failure to deliver any Mortgage File.
From and after the Closing Date and until the applicable Release
Date, the Bailee shall maintain continuous custody and control of the Mortgage
Files as custodian and bailee for the Purchaser.
(c) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller may register the Mortgages
subject to this Agreement with MERS as a nominee for Seller, either through
the recordation of a mortgage or deed of trust which shows MERS as a nominee
for Seller or by the recordation of an Assignment which shows MERS as a
nominee for Seller, for purposes of facilitating the transfer of the Mortgage
Loan and/or Mortgage Loan Documents. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge
that MERS will have no beneficial interest in the Mortgage Loan and that the
registration of the Mortgage Loan with MERS will not in any way affect the
rights, title, interest, obligations or responsibilities of Purchaser and
Seller under the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree to
cooperate in all ways necessary to effectuate the use of MERS for the purpose
of facilitating the transfer of applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, and
withstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, agree to
accept such documentation and evidence of transfer provided by MERS under its
operating documents to accomplish the transfer of ownership in the Mortgage
Loan.
Section 4. Examination of Mortgage Files.
------------------------------
Prior to the respective Closing Date, Seller, shall make available to
Purchaser, for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each related
Mortgage Loan at the offices of Seller, or such other location as Seller and
Purchaser shall mutually designate. Such examination may be made by Purchaser
of the related Mortgage 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 Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loan that
does not conform 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.
-20-
Section 5. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Seller.
-----------------------------------------------------
(a) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that as of the date
hereof and as of each respective Closing Date (or as of such other date or
dates as may be expressly set forth below);
(i) Seller is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller
has full power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to own its
properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it, and to
enter into and perform its obligations under the Program Documents and to
sell each Mortgage Loan. To the extent material to Purchaser's rights
hereunder, Seller holds all material licenses necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted and is licensed in, qualified to transact
business in and is in good standing under the laws of each state in which
any Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state require

with the laws of any such state to the extent necessary to ensure the
enforceability of each Mortgage Loan.
(ii) This Agreement, the Amended and Restated Master Servicing
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by Seller, and assuming the due authorization, execution
and delivery thereof by Purchaser and the enforceability thereof against
Purchaser, constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of Seller,
enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws 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 law.
(iii) As of the respective Closing Date, the related Purchased Price
and Terms Letter has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
Seller, and such Purchase Price and Terms letter, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser and the
enforceability thereof against Purchaser, constitutes the legal, valid
and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance
with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws 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 law.
(iv) As of the respective Closing Date, the related Warranty Xxxx of
Sale has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, and such
Warranty Xxxx of Sale constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement
of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms,
except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws
-21-
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 law.
(v) the representations and warranties made by Seller under the
Amended and Restated Master Servicing Agreement and the related Warranty
Xxxx of Sale are true and correct in all material respects as of the
respective Closing Date.
(vi) Neither the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, nor
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, nor the execution or
delivery of the Program Documents, nor the consummation of any of the
Transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the
terms hereof or thereof, will result in the breach of any term or
provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Seller, 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
-22-
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 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-
-23-
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 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
-24-
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.
(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)
-25-
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
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.
-26-
(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, including, (1) in the case

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
-29-
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 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
-30-
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.
(e) SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS
TO THE COLLECTABILITY OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS, THE SECURITY THEREFOR OR THE
STATUS OF ANY MORTGAGOR. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,
SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY
MATTER WHATSOEVER CONCERNING THE MORTGAGE LOANS OR THE MORTGAGE FILES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO MORTGAGE LOANS OR THE
ORIGINATION OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS. THE MORTGAGE LOANS AND THE RELATED
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSIDERED FOR ALL PURPOSES TO BE PURCHASED BY PURCHASER
"AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" AND PURCHASED WITHOUT RECOURSE OF ANY KIND
TO SELLER. ANY PRIOR REPRESENTATION OR STATEMENTS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, AS
TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS OR ANY MATTER RELATED THERETO ARE MERGED HEREIN AND ANY
SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR STATEMENTS NOT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT
ARE HEREBY WITHDRAWN BY SELLER, AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IS NOT RELYING
ON THEM.

immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute
an Event of Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and
any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser,
in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the
Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the
contrary) of any compensation to the Seller; provided that to the extent

and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure
of the Seller to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller immediately shall
notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this

strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9. Intention of the Parties.
-------------------------
With respect to each Transaction, it is the intention of the parties that
Purchaser is purchasing, and Seller is selling, interests in the related
Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of Seller or any other security.
Accordingly, the parties each intend to treat each Transaction for federal
income tax purposes as a sale by Seller, and a purchase by Purchaser, of the
related Mortgage Loans.
Section 10. Costs.
------
Seller shall pay any commissions due its salesmen and the legal fees and
expenses of its attorneys and those expenses incurred in connection with the
transfer and delivery by Seller of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto. The

Agreement and those of the Custodian and Purchaser's brokers' and attorneys'
fees and expenses, shall be paid by Purchaser.
Section 11. Further Agreements of Seller.
-----------------------------
Seller and Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such
reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements,
and take such actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
purposes of this Agreement.

-------------------
The sale and delivery on any Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described
on the related Final Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the
date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter.
Section 13. Termination.

Seller and Purchaser with respect thereto under the Program Documents.
Section 14. Seller's Right of First Refusal
-------------------------------
If Purchaser shall elect to sell any Mortgage Loans purchased under this
Agreement to any third party other than an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser
hereby agrees that Seller will have a non-exclusive right to bid to purchase
such Mortgage Loans and, if Purchaser shall elect to seek from one or more
third parties bids to purchase such Mortgage Loans, Seller will have a right
to review such bids and to purchase such Mortgage Loan in the event that
Seller offers Purchaser equivalent or better terms than those actually offered
by any third party as part of a bona fide, independent offer.
Section 15. Severability Clause.
--------------------
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of
such prohibition of unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

--------
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless
such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom
such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

---------
Each party agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements
made by such party herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered
pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the other party,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the other
party or on the other party's behalf.
Section 18. Successor and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
--------------------------------------------------------
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by Seller and Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of Seller
and Purchaser; provided that this Agreement cannot be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by Seller or Purchaser to a third party without the consent of
the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
-44-
delayed; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement
without the consent of the other party to any Affiliate; further provided,
however, that no novation shall occur as a result of any such assignment
(whether or not such consent is received). Purchaser acknowledges that the
assignment of any or all of its rights under this Agreement without the
consent of the Surety Bond Issuer may affect, impair or eliminate the
insurance provided by the Surety Bond to the extent set forth therein. No
assignment shall relieve the Assignor from any liability hereunder without the
consent of the other party hereto.
Section 19. Notices.
--------
Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed conclusively to have been duly given if
personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or mailed by registered mail,

instrument notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same
counterparts.
Section 21. Entire Agreement.
-----------------
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters and transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and supersedes any prior agreement and understandings with respect
to those matters and transactions; provided, however, that this Agreement
shall not be deemed to supersede any other Program Document or any agreement,
instrument or other document executed in connection therewith.
