has been delivered to the Trustee;
(d) The BANA Mortgage Notes and the BANA Mortgages are 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 BANA Mortgage Notes

7
the BANA Mortgage Notes or the BANA Mortgages 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,

or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such
satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;
(h) The BANA Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the BANA Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the BANA Mortgaged
Property subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date

specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the BANA Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the BANA Mortgaged Property, (C) if the BANA Mortgaged

cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments or charges or any lien of
any assignment of rents or maintenance expenses secured by the real property
owned by the cooperative housing corporation, and (D) other matters to which
like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the

assign the same to the Purchaser;

and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited

(k) The proceeds of the BANA Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed
to or for the account of the related BANA Mortgagor and there is no obligation
for the mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all

disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the BANA Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the BANA Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled
to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the mortgagee pursuant to the BANA
Mortgage Note or BANA Mortgage;
(l) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all parties which have had
any interest in the BANA Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee
or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable "doing business" and
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the BANA Mortgaged
Property is located;
(m) Either (A) the BANA Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's
title insurance policy, 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 BANA Mortgaged Property is located,

customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead
received. For each BANA Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance policy (x)

lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
9
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would
impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

existing under the BANA Mortgage or the BANA Mortgage Note and no event which,

and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
(o) As of the date of origination of the BANA Mortgage Loan, there
were no mechanics' or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material

(r) Payments on the BANA Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty
days after the proceeds of the BANA Mortgaged Loan were disbursed. The BANA
Mortgage Loans are fixed-rate mortgage loans having an original term to maturity
of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of
the month. Each BANA Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. No BANA
Mortgage Note permits negative amortization;
(s) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller's knowledge,
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the BANA Mortgaged Property
and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake
or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to affect

exemption or right available to the BANA Mortgagor or any other person which
would interfere with the right to sell the BANA Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the BANA Mortgage;
(u) Other than any Borrowers Protection Plan(R) addendum to the
Mortgage Note of a BPP Mortgage Loan, with respect to the BANA Mortgage Loans,
each BANA Mortgage Note and BANA Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac;
