Section 4.2 Representations and Warranties of Seller as to Each Loan.
It is understood and agreed by Seller and Banc One that, as a material
inducement to Banc One to enter into this Agreement and purchase Loans from
Seller hereunder, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Banc One as of the
related Funding Date for each Loan purchased on such Funding Date that:
(a) Seller is a holder-in-due-course of each Note within the meaning of
the Uniform Commercial Code in effect for the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located and where the Mortgagor is domiciled, and is the sole owner
of the Loan and has the right to assign and transfer the Loan to Banc One.
Seller has not sold, assigned or otherwise transferred any right or interest in
or to the Loan and has not, unless disclosed to Banc One in writing, pledged the
Loan as collateral for any loan or obligation of Seller or other purpose. The
assignment of the Loan by Seller to Banc One validly transfers such Loan to Banc
One free and clear of any pledges, liens, claims, encumbrance, mortgages,
charges, exceptions or security interests.
(b) Seller has transferred to Banc One all of its right, title and
interest in the Note, the related Mortgage and the Loan Documents and Loan
Files, and Banc One has purchased such Loan and the related Note, Mortgage, Loan
Documents and Loan Files, with an individual current hazard insurance policy
(including fire and extended coverage and other xxxxxx as are customary in the
area of the Mortgage Property), or a blanket policy in lieu thereof, or a
certificate if Banc One agrees in writing to accept a certificate, insuring the
Mortgaged Property, with a loss payable clause in favor of Seller, its
successors and assigns in an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of
the replacement value of the Mortgaged Property.
11
(c) Immediately prior to transfer of such Loan to Banc One, Seller had
good, marketable and indefeasable title to, and was the sole owner and holder
of, the Loan subject to no liens, charges, mortgages, claims, participation
interests, equities, pledges or security interests of any nature, encumbrances
or rights of others (collectively, a "Lien"). Seller shall have transferred all
of its right, title and interest in and to the Loan to Banc One and Banc One
will hold good, marketable and indefeasible title to, and be the sole owner of,
such Loan subject to no liens.
(d) The Outstanding Principal Balance of any Loan on the Funding Date
does not exceed the original principal balance of the Note.
(e) All information relating to the Loan that has been provided by
Seller to Banc One in any document, schedule or certificate, and any other
written information delivered pursuant to, or contemplated by, this Agreement or
the related Delivery Instructions is true, correct and complete in all respects
as of the date of such document or certificate, or if not true, correct or
complete in any material respect, has been corrected by Seller and as corrected
all such information is true, correct and complete as of the date of such
correction.
(f) No loan was made to facilitate the sale of other real estate owned.
(g) No instruments, other than those delivered herewith or with the
Loans on the related Funding Date are required under applicable law to evidence
the indebtedness represented by the Loan or to perfect the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(h) Except as has been disclosed and agreed to by Banc One in writing,
there is no agreement with the Mortgagor regarding any variation of the interest
rate and schedules of payment (except as described in Note and Mortgage) or
other terms and conditions of the Loan, no Mortgagor has been released from
liability on the Note, and no property has been released from the Mortgage. If
the Loan is a variable rate loan, Seller represents and warrants as of each
subsequent Funding Date that all applicable notices required by law or
regulation have been provided to the Mortgagor and that the right to future
changes in the interest rate and payment schedules has not been waived by Seller
or any previous holder of the Loan.
(i) The Loan is secured by a valid Mortgage, of the agreed-up priority,
on residential property, and such Mortgage has been properly received by the
appropriate public recording official to be filed, recorded or otherwise
perfected in due-course in accordance with applicable law in the appropriate
jurisdiction.
(j) Seller holds a marked-up title policy or a title insurance binder
or title certificate which is in full force and effect; which has an insurance
limit at least as great as the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; which
names the Seller, its successors and assigns as the insured party; and which is
issued by a title insurer that is licensed and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. The policy referred to in
this Section 4.2(j) shall:
(i) insure the absence of any lien of taxes and other
assessments, other than real property taxes which are not delinquent;
(ii) disclose whether all taxes and other assessments due as
of the date of the policy have been paid in full;
(iii) disclose all other matters concerning the particular
property which are customarily disclosed in standard ALTA mortgage policies;
12
(iv) permit Banc One as assignee to have and hold all rights
as the insured lender thereunder without any further charge, act or required
notice to said insurer;
(v) contain an endorsement insuring all modifications to the
Loan which are necessary in order for the policy to be effective for the
modifications; and
(vi) be a standard ALTA policy unless unavailable in that
jurisdiction, in which event the policy shall be on such form as is customary in
the jurisdiction for similar loans.
If Banc One purchases a Loan having relied on a marked-up title
insurance binder or title certificate rather than a title insurance policy,
Seller shall have 30 days to deliver to Banc One the title insurance policy.
(k) The Note and the related Mortgage contain customary, valid, legal
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security created thereby, including (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor that would materially interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property.
(l) The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and any and all
requirements as to completion of on-site and off-site improvements and
disbursement of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with and any
advances made after the date of origination of the Loan but prior to the Funding
Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
related Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment terms reflected on the respective
Mortgage and Note. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the
original principal amount of the related Loan. The Note does not permit or
obligate the mortgagee to make future advances to the related Mortgagor at the
option of the Mortgagor; and there are no defaults in complying with the terms
of the Mortgage, and either (1) any taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges or ground rents that previously
became due and owing have been paid or (2) an Escrow Payment has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item that remains
unpaid and that has been assessed but is not due and payable. Except for
payments in the nature of Escrow Payments, including without limitation, taxes
and insurance payments, Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds by a third party other than the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the
Note, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day that
precedes by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and
interest.
(m) No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection
with the Loan and no Mortgagor has been released in whole or in part from the
obligations arising under the Note and Mortgage.
(n) All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgage
clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. All premiums
thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain
and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(o) The terms of the Mortgage and Note have not been impaired, altered
or modified, except by a written instrument that has been recorded or is in the
process of being recorded, if necessary, and which has been or will be recorded,
and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the
assignment from Seller to Banc One) have been recorded in the appropriate
jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof
as against creditors of Seller, or, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof,
is in the process of being recorded.
13
(p) If required or permitted by applicable state law, Seller has filed
for record a request for notice of any action by a senior lienholder under a
senior lien, or by any governmental authority with respect to any tax or
assessment that can become a lien on the Mortgaged Property, and Seller has
notified any senior lienholder or governmental authority of the existence of the
Loan and requested notification of an action to be taken against the Mortgagor
by the senior lienholder or governmental authority. Seller shall, upon the
request of Banc One, cooperate in recording a new request for action in favor of
Banc One and in providing senior lienholders or any governmental authority with
written requests for notification to Banc One of action against the Mortgagor.
(q) The Note and the related Mortgage each contain a valid and
enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid
principal balance of the Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is
sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.
(r) The Note related to such Loan provides for a schedule of
substantially level and equal monthly payments that are sufficient to amortize
fully the principal balance of such Loan over a period of time equal to the
amortization period of such Note (assuming, with respect to any Loan as to which
interest thereon is charged to the obligor thereof on the outstanding principal
balance calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed between receipt of
the obligor's last payment through receipt of the obligor's most current payment
and all payments are made on the due dates thereof).
(s) The Loan was not originated under a buydown plan or under a limited
documentation program, unless identified in writing in the related Delivery
Instructions to Buyer.
(t) The Loan does not have a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(u) If the Loan provides for any prepayment premium or charge (a
"Prepayment Charge") to be paid by the obligor under the Note in connection with
any prepayment, Seller represents and warrants to Banc One that such Prepayment
Charge is enforceable and is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations.
(v) The Note and the related Mortgage and the Loan Documents: genuine;
the valid instruments they purport on their face to be; the legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligation of the Mortgagor thereunder and are not
subject to any discount, allowance, set off, counterclaim, presently pending
bankruptcy or other defenses; are neither forged nor have affixed thereto any
unauthorized signature; were entered into by persons with the required legal
capacity; and are not subject to any foreclosure (including any non-judicial
foreclosure) or any other legal action brought by Seller or any senior
lienholder.
(w) All parties to the Loan and the Mortgage had full legal capacity to
execute all documents related to such Loan and to convey the estate therein
purported to be conveyed.
(x) All matured obligations pursuant to the Note and the related
Mortgage have been paid or performed and there is no default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration existing.
(y) The Loan is not 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 Note or the related Mortgage, or the exercise of any
right thereunder render either the Note or 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 no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
14
(z) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party
to make payments in addition to those made by Mortgagor under the Loan.
(aa) The Loan is not contractually delinquent by more than 29 days and
the Loan has not at any time been renewed for the purpose of concealing the
delinquency of any Person obligated thereon.

Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, any similar state or federal
law or regulation or interpretation thereof affecting or regarding the
solicitation, origination, servicing or collection of the Loans, or any federal
or state usury law or regulation. All disclosures required by law, rule,
regulation or any interpretation thereof, whether federal, state or local, were
properly made by Seller or the Lender prior to the closing of the Loan. If such
Loan refinances a prior mortgage loan, Seller provided Mortgagor with all
notices and rescission rights required by applicable law.
(dd) All Appraisals made in connection with any Loan shall have been
performed in accordance with the standards set by Xxxxxx Xxx and by the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, as from time to time amended.
(ee) If the Loan is (i) a "high cost mortgage" as defined in Section
152(a) of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 ("HOEP") or (ii)
otherwise subject to the requirements of the HOEP, Seller represents and
warrants to Banc One that such Loan was made in compliance with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations governing or pertaining to such loans.
(ff) No Loan financed debt cancellation coverage (as defined in 12

therefrom, on the Mortgaged Property.

waste and is in good repair and there is no proceeding pending or threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.
(jj) No impediments to title exist that could adversely affect the
value, enjoyment or marketability of the Mortgaged Property.
(kk) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under any mortgage whose lien is senior to that of the Mortgage which,
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No such senior lien
provides for interest thereon to be paid at a variable or changing rate of
interest.
15
(ll) No hazardous or toxic materials or wastes or products regulated by
any law or ordinance or asbestos or asbestos products or materials or
polychlorinated biphenyls or urea formaldehyde insulation have been used or
employed in the construction, use or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property or
have ever been stored, treated at or disposed of on the Mortgaged Property. The
Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all hazardous materials or substances.
There has not occurred nor has any Person alleged that there has occurred upon
the Mortgaged Property any spillage, leakage, discharge or release into the air,

including counterclaims, wherein the claim is based upon facts that would
constitute a breach of any one of more of the warranties, covenants, and
representations made or assumed by Seller under the terms hereof, Seller shall
thereupon, at Banc One's option, repurchase without recourse, representation or
warranty such Loan at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding any such repurchase,
Seller will continue to indemnify Banc One in the manner provided herein.
(c) Banc One agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold Seller and its
employees, officers, and directors, harmless against, and respect of, any and
all losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees), judgments, damages, claims, counterclaims, demands, actions or
proceedings, by whomsoever asserted, including but not limited to, the
Mortgagor's, against any person or persons who prosecute or defend any actions
or proceedings as representatives of or on behalf of a class or interested
group, or any governmental instrumentality, body, agency, department or
commission, or any administrative body or agency having jurisdiction pursuant to
any applicable statute ,rule, regulation, order or decree, or the settlement or
compromise of any of the foregoing, arising out of any misrepresentation, or
breach of any covenant or warranty of Banc One contained in this Agreement for
any claim by a third party, regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately
successful, which if true would be such a misrepresentation or breach.
Section 7.2 Notification of Claim Right. If any party to this Agreement
(an "Indemnitee") receives written notice of the assertion of any claim or of
the commencement of any action or proceeding by any entity who is not a party to
this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") against or affecting such Indemnity, and
if such assertion were presumed to be true (regardless of the actual outcome)
and the other party could be obligated to provide indemnification under this
Agreement (an "Indemnifying Party"), then such Indemnitee will give such
Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event no
later than twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of such written notice of
such Third Party Claim.
Section 7.3 Immediate Action Required. If it is reasonably determined
by the Indemnitee that immediate action is required to address a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnitee is authorized to take immediate action without prior
notice to the Indemnifying Party, and thereafter give notice to the Indemnifying
Party as soon as practicable. In such event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
recover from the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
liable for indemnification hereunder.
Section 7.4 Right to Defend. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole
right to defend any Third Party Claim at its sole expense and by its own counsel
(which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), by giving
written notice to the Indemnitee admitting its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnitee for the Third Party Claim (the "Notice to Defend"). The Notice to
Defend must be delivered to the Indemnitee no later than twenty (20) calendar
days after receipt of the above-described notice of such Third Party Claim. If
the Indemnifying Party does not give a Notice to Defend within that period, the
Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third
Party Claim assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that the
Indemnitee shall have the sole right to make any significant decisions with
respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim including the settlement or
compromise of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable
for all costs and expenses, and all settlement amounts (subject to and in
accordance with Section 7.9 but only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
liable for indemnification hereunder). During the period prior to receiving the
Notice to Defend, the Indemnitee can proceed to defend the claim, action or
proceeding, and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the
Indemnifying Party costs and fees (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with the defense to the extent the Indemnifying Party is liable for
indemnification hereunder.
20
Section 7.5 Equitable Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this
Article to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to
participate in, and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to have sole and absolute
control over, the defense, compromise or settlement of, any claim to the extent
that the claim seeks an injunction or other similar equitable relief against the
Indemnitee.
Section 7.6 No Response. If the Indemnitee does not receive a Notice to
Defend with respect to a Third Party Claim within the twenty (20) day period
described in Section 7.4 the Indemnitee may, at its option, solely defend the
Third Party Claim assisted by counsel of its own choosing, and the Indemnifying
Party will be liable for all costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys'
fees), and all settlement amounts (subject to and in accordance with Section 7.9
but only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification
hereunder).
Section 7.7 Defense Costs. If, within the twenty (20) day period set
forth in Section 7.4, an Indemnitee receives a Notice to Defend from an
Indemnifying Party with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
will not be liable for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnitee after
receipt of the Notice to Defend in connection with the defense thereof;
provided, however, that if, after giving a Notice to Defend, the Indemnifying
Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to diligently defend such Third
Party Claim within the earlier of: (i) twenty (20) calendar days after receiving
written notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee believes, after due
inquiry, that the Indemnifying Party has failed to take such steps, or (ii)
within such period necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee to not
prejudice the defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may, at its
option, solely assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, assisted by counsel
of its own choosing, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all
reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees), and all
settlement amounts (subject to and in accordance with Section 7.9) and all other
liabilities, losses; damages and injuries paid or incurred in connection
therewith where the Indemnifying Party is liable for such other liabilities,
losses, damages and injuries pursuant to this Article 7.
Section 7.8 Additional Recoveries. In addition to other remedies
available under this Article, if (i) the Indemnitee has available defenses,
counterclaims or third party claims that are not available to the Indemnifying
Party, (ii) a claim seeks an injunction or other similar equitable relief
against the Indemnitee, or (iii) the claim seeks any remedy or relief other than
a monetary claim, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the
Indemnifying Party its reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in defending such Third Party Claim, and all settlement amounts
(subject to and in accordance with Section 7.9) and all other liabilities,
losses, damages and injuries paid or incurred in connection therewith to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification hereunder.
Section 7.9 Settlement. In the circumstances described in Section 7.4
where the Indemnifying Party has the sole right to defend the Third Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to settle such claim. In all
other circumstances, if there is a dispute between the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnitee concerning whether a Third Party Claim should be contested, settled
or compromised, it shall be settled, compromised, or contested, in accordance
with Section 7.10; provided, however, that the Indemnitee, or its respective
successors or assigns, shall neither be required to refrain from paying or
satisfying any claim which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in
writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, or which has matured by
court judgment or decree, unless appeal is taken thereafter and proper appeal
bond posted by the Indemnifying Party, nor shall the Indemnitee be required to
refrain from paying or satisfying any Third Party Claim after and to the extent
that such Third Party Claim has resulted in an unstayed injunction or other
similar equitable relief against the Indemnitee or in an imposition of a lien
upon any of the properties or assets then held by the Indemnitee or its
respective successors and assigns (unless such claim shall have been discharged
or enforcement thereof stayed by the filing of a legally permitted bond by the
Indemnifying Party or otherwise, at its sole expense), or result in a breach or
default in a lease or other contract by which any of them is bound, or would
materially adversely affect their respective assets, businesses or financial
condition.
21
Section 7.10 Objections to Settlement. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or the Indemnitee, on the other hand, has
reached a good faith, bona fide settlement agreement or compromise, subject only
to approval hereunder, with any claimant regarding a matter which may be the
subject of indemnification hereunder and desires to settle on the basis of such
agreement or compromise, such party who desires to so settle or compromise shall
notify the other party in writing of its desire setting forth the terms of such
settlement or compromise (the "Notice of Settlement"). The Third Party Claim may
be settled or compromised on such basis unless within twenty (20) days of the
receipt of the Notice of Settlement the party who issued the Notice of
Settlement receives a notice from the other party of its desire to continue to
contest the matter (the "Notice to Contest") and, in such case:
(i) should the Indemnitee deliver a Notice to Contest, the
claim shall be so contested and the liability of the Indemnifying Party
shall be limited as provided in clause (iii) below;
(ii) if the settlement or compromise could resulting a claim
for indemnification being made against the Indemnifying Party and if
the Indemnifying Party delivers the Notice to Contest, the claim shall
be so contested and the liability of the Indemnitee shall be limited as
provided in clause (iii) below; and
(iii) if a matter is contested as provided in clauses (i) and
(ii) above and, is later adjudicated, settled, compromised or otherwise
disposed of and such adjudication, compromise, settlement or
disposition results in a liability, loss, damage or injury, in excess
of the amount for which one party desired previously to settle the
matter, then the liability of such party shall be limited to the lesser
proposed settlement amount and the party contesting the matter shall be
solely responsible for the amount in excess of the lesser proposed
settlement amount and without regard to any minimum or maximum
restriction on liability described in the Agreement.
For an Indemnifying Party's Notice to Contest to be effective, it must
also state that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be
obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for any amount in excess of the lesser
proposed settlement amount as described in sub-paragraph (iii) above. Except for
such obligation for the excess of the lesser proposed settlement amount
acknowledged in a Notice to Contest, the giving of or failure to give a Notice
to Contest by any party shall not be construed or implied as an acknowledgment
by such party of an obligation for indemnification under this Article 7.
Section 7.11 Waiver. The Indemnifying Party hereby expressly waives and
renounces any and all rights to make a claim against the Indemnitee or its
respective directors, officers, agents or employees based upon a right or claim
of any Third Party to which it may become subrogated as a result of making any
payment for indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such waiver
adversely affects any rights of subrogation of an insurer under an applicable
insurance policy; provided however, nothing herein is intended to constitute a
waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any rights of subrogation to which it may be
entitled against persons other than those described herein.
Section 7.12 Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnitee for
indemnification other than indemnification against a Third Party Claim (a
"Direct Claim") will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably
prompt written notice thereof, and the Indemnifying Party will have a period of
twenty (20) calendar days within which to respond in writing to such Direct
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within the twenty (20)
calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such
claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be free to pursue such remedies as may
be available to the Indemnitee under this Article 7.
22
Section 7.13 Insurance. Any claim for indemnification hereunder shall
be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds payable with respect to the
circumstances giving rise to such claim.

Section 8.15 Arbitration, Jurisdiction and Venue. With respect to any
controversy, argument or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or

of the State of Indiana in Xxxxxx County or the Federal District Court for the
proper district in Indiana and waive personal service of any and all process
upon them and consent that all such service of process made by registered or

relief as is deemed appropriate by the court, including, but not limited to, any
emergency relief, injunctive or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
except with respect to emergency relief, upon demand of any party hereto,
whether made before or after institution of any judicial proceeding, any
dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this
Agreement and/or any Delivery Instruction ("Disputes") between or among parties
to this agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein.
Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that
party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include without limitation,
tort claims, counterclaims, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to
arbitration, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from documents or
certificates executed in the future, or claims arising out of or connected with
the transaction reflected by this Agreement and/or any Delivery Instruction.
Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the
Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the
American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and Title 9 of the U.S. Code. All
arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana. The expedited
procedures set forth in Rule 51 et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be
applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of
limitation shall apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. The panel from which all arbitrators are
selected shall be comprised of licensed attorneys. The single arbitrator
selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest court
of general jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the hearing will
be conducted or if such person is not available to serve, the single arbitrator
may be a licensed attorney.
Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration provisions,
the parties hereto agree to preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that
any party hereto may employ or exercise freely, independently or in connection
with an arbitration proceeding or after an arbitration action is brought. The
parties hereto shall have the right to proceed in any court of proper
jurisdiction or by self-help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as
applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal property or
26
other security by exercising a power of sale granted hereunder or under
applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a proceeding to
confirm the sale; (ii) all rights of self-help including peaceful occupation of
real property and collection of rents, set-off, and peaceful possession of
personal property; (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including
injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of
receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (iv) when
applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of these remedies
does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be
requested by a party in a Dispute.
The parties hereto agree that they shall not have a remedy of
punitive or exemplary damages against the other in any Dispute and hereby waive
any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have not or which may
arise in the future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is
resolved by arbitration or judicially.
Section 8.16 No Solicitation. From and after the Funding Date, Seller
agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be
taken by Seller, any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent
contractors on Seller's behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the
Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan to refinance the Mortgage Loan, in whole or in
part, without the prior written consent of Banc One. It is understood and agreed
that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors to
refinance any Mortgage Loans and the attendant rights, title and interest in and
to the list of such Mortgagors to refinance any Mortgage Loans and the attendant
rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and data
relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be
transferred to Banc One pursuant hereto on the Funding Date and Seller shall
take no action to undermine these rights and benefits Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agrees that promotions undertaken by Seller or
any affiliate of Seller which are directed to the general public at large, or
segments thereof, provided that no segment shall consist primarily of the
Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, mass mailing based on
commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television
advertisements, shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 8.16.
Section 8.17 Endorsements. In the event that the remedies or other
terms outlined in this Agreement conflict with the terms of any endorsement by
Seller of any Note evidencing a Loan purchased by Banc One from Seller,
including, but not limited to, an endorsement stating that the assignment of the
Note is without recourse, the remedies and terms of this Agreement shall govern
and control.
