Receivable is entitled to be paid, has not
been repaid in whole or been compromised,
adjusted (except by partial payment),
extended, satisfied, subordinated,
rescinded, amended or modified, and is not
subject to compromise, adjustment,
extension, satisfaction, subordination,
rescission, set-off, counterclaim, defense,
amendment or modification by the Seller.
(x) As of the date of conveyance with respect to
the Initial Receivables and Additional
Receivables transferred on such date, such
Receivables do not include amounts payable
as a result of accounting or other errors,
or the failure to deposit funds or the
misapplication of funds by the REMIC
Servicer.
(xi) As of the date of conveyance with respect to
the Initial Receivables and any Additional
Receivables transferred on such date, no
such Receivable has been identified by the
Seller as a Non-Recoverable Advance (as
defined in the REMIC Pooling Agreements) for
which reimbursement has not been sought from
the REMIC Trust in accordance with the
related REMIC Pooling Agreement.
(xii) Except for any Receivables related to
Existing P&I Advances that have been
conveyed to the Tranche A SPE, the Initial
Receivables represent all of the rights to
be reimbursed for all P&I Advances with
respect to the REMIC Trusts as of the
Closing Date. The Seller has not sold,
assigned, transferred or conveyed any P&I
Advance with respect to the REMIC Trusts to
any Person other than the Issuer and the
Tranche A SPE. The Additional Receivables
conveyed on any Funding Date constitute all
of the P&I Advances with respect to the
REMIC Trusts not previously sold and/or
contributed to the Issuer hereunder, except
for (A) Existing P&I Advances and Extension
11
Advances conveyed to the Tranche A SPE or
(B) Receivables repurchased by the Seller
pursuant to Section 5.02.
Section 5.02. Repurchase Upon Breach. The Issuer or the
Seller, as the case may be, shall inform the Issuer or the Seller (as
applicable) and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery
of any breach of the Seller's representations and warranties hereunder that
pertain to a Receivable. Unless such breach shall have been cured or waived
within thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of such
breach by the Issuer or the Seller (as applicable) or receipt of written notice
of such breach by the Issuer or the Seller (as applicable), the Seller shall
repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer at a price equal to the outstanding
Receivable Balance of such Receivable as of the date of repurchase (the
"Repurchase Price"). The Seller shall pay any Repurchase Price directly to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Reimbursement Account.
ARTICLE VI.
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 6.01. Intention of the Parties. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated
by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale and contribution of the
related Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and that the related
Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's estate or otherwise be considered
property of the Seller in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Seller or any
of its property. Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts
available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the
Seller to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller. In the event that (A) the purchase of Receivables by
the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or
other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to
constitute a pledge rather than a sale and contribution of the Receivables or
(B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Aggregate
Receivables are held to be property of the Seller or a loan to the Seller, or
(C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some
other similar arrangement or agreement, then (i) this Agreement is and shall be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Relevant UCC;
(ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security
interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables transferred and assigned to the
Issuer hereunder; (iii) the agreement of the Seller hereunder to sell, assign,
convey and transfer the Receivables shall be a grant by the Seller to the Issuer
of a security interest in all of the Seller's right (including the power to
convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in and to (A) all amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with
respect to the Receivables and (B) any and all general intangibles consisting
of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from
time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the
Seller or by or on behalf of the REMIC
12
Trusts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property.
The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money,
documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper, and the filing of Form UCC-1, shall be
"possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or a person
designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the Relevant UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Section 6.02. Security Interest. The Seller shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in (i)
any of the Aggregate Receivables, (ii) the amounts reimbursable now or in the
future by or with respect to the REMIC Trusts in respect of any of the Aggregate
Receivables or (iii) the other property described above, such security interest
would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law
and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. At the
Issuer's direction, the Seller shall execute such documents and instruments as
the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the
foregoing and shall return to the Issuer the executed copy of such documents and
instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall
forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of
the Seller, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer's security
interest described above, including without limitation (x) UCC continuation
statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change
of name of the Seller or the Issuer (such preparation and filing shall be at the
expense of the Issuer, if occasioned by a change in such party's name) or (2)
any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller.
ARTICLE VII.

Material Adverse Effect.

comply with all laws, rules and regulations and orders of any governmental

long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and the Seller shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so
contested, or so long as the failure to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or

ARTICLE IX.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.01. Indemnification.
(a) Without limiting any other rights that an Indemnified
Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify each
17
Indemnified Party (as defined below) from and against any and all Indemnified
Amounts (as defined below) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against an Indemnified Party in any way arising out of or relating to any breach
of the Seller's or the REMIC Servicer's obligations under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, or the ownership of the Aggregate Receivables or in
respect of any Aggregate Receivables, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to
the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
such Indemnified Party.
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller
shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to
indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified
Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(i) a breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Seller under or in connection
with this Agreement;
(ii) the failure by the Seller or the REMIC
Servicer to comply with any term, provision
or covenant contained in this Agreement, or
any agreement executed by it in connection
with this Agreement or with any applicable
law, rule or regulation with respect to any
Aggregate Receivable, or the nonconformity
of any Aggregate Receivable with any such
applicable law, rule or regulation; or
(iii) the failure to vest and maintain vested in
the Issuer, or to transfer, to the Issuer,
legal and equitable title to and ownership
of the Aggregate Receivables, together with
all collections in respect thereof, free and
clear of any adverse claim (except as
permitted hereunder) whether existing at the
time of the transfer of such Aggregate
Receivable or at any time thereafter.
(b) Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be paid to the Indemnified
Party within 20 Business Days following demand therefor. "Indemnified Party"
means any of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Agent and the Secured
Parties and their officers, employees, directors and successors or assigns.
"Indemnified Amounts" means any and all claims, losses, liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and related
reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any nature whatsoever, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (subject to the following
paragraph), incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after an Indemnified Party shall have been
served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received
written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which an indemnity may be
claimed against the Seller under this Section 9.01, the Indemnified Party shall
notify the Seller in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process
or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the
claim, but failure so to notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller from any
liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent that the
18
Seller is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Seller. The Seller will be
entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or
action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Party, unless the defendants in any such action include both
the Indemnified Party and the Seller, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice
of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
Seller, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable opinion
of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same
counsel to represent both the Seller and such Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of
more than one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the
Issuer, one firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties related to the Secured
Parties and one firm of attorneys for the Indenture Trustee. Each Indemnified
Party shall cooperate with the Seller in the defense of any such action or
claim. The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or
threatened proceeding.
