counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted

outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (together,
in the case of a Junior Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal

law), and all parties to each Mortgage Loan had full legal capacity to
execute all documents
9
13
relating to such Mortgage Loan and convey the estate therein purported

necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or
interests therein, and establishments of co-insured, joint loss payee

(xix) the terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been
impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written

substance of any such alteration or modification is reflected on the
Schedule of Mortgage Loans and has been approved by the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, if any;
(xx) the proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to
make future advances thereunder; any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with; all
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing or recording

or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage;

(xxiv) each Property is located in the state identified in the
Schedule of Mortgage Loans and consists of one or more parcels of real
Property with a residential dwelling erected thereon;
10
14

Loan in the event the related Property is sold without the prior
consent of the mortgagee thereunder, except as may be otherwise
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(xxvi) any advances made after the date of origination of a
Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-Off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage,

Mortgage Loans. No Note permits or obligates the Master Servicer, the
Sub-Servicer or the Sponsor to make future advances to the related
Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor;

proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
of any Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring, and each
Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,

the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and
fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities and such Property is lawfully occupied under
the applicable law;
(xxx) with respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
the Sponsor or the Trust to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the related
Mortgagor;
(xxxi) with respect to each Junior Mortgage Loan, either (A)
no consent for such Mortgage Loan was required by the holder of the
related Senior Lien prior to the making of such Mortgage Loan or (B)
such consent has been obtained and is contained in the related Mortgage
File;
11
15
(xxxii) each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the related Property of the
benefits of the security, including (A) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. To the best knowledge of such Originator, there
is no homestead or other exemption available which materially
interferes with the right to sell the related Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the related Mortgage;
(xxxiii) except as provided by paragraph (viii) of this
Section 5(b), there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under any Mortgage or the related Note and no

of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration; and the applicable Originator has
not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xxxiv) to the best knowledge of such Originator, no
instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection with
any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in
part, except in connection with an assumption agreement and which has
been delivered to the Trustee;

Mortgage Loan conform in all material respects to the Originators' or
the Sponsor's underwriting guidelines in effect at the time of
origination;
(xxxvi) all parties to the Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to execute the Note and the Mortgage and each Note and
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties; and
(xxxvii) the related Originator has no actual knowledge that

or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local
environmental legislation.
(c) There is no obligation on the part of the Master Servicer,
the Originators or any other party to make payments in addition to those made by
the Mortgagor except as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Representations and Warranties shall survive the transfer
and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust. Upon discovery by any
Originator or the Sponsor of a breach of any of the Representations and
Warranties, without regard to any limitation set forth in such Representation or
Warranty concerning the knowledge of the related Originator as to the facts
stated therein, which breach, in the opinion of the Sponsor, materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Sponsor, the Owners or the Certificate
