4. Margin Maintenance
(a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased
Mortgage Loans subject to all Transactions hereunder is less than the aggregate
Buyer's Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer
may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Buyer's option,
to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Mortgage Loans reasonably acceptable to
Buyer ("Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans"), so that the cash and aggregate
Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including any such Additional
Purchased Mortgage Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer's
Margin Amount.
(b) If the notice to be given by Buyer to Seller under
subparagraph (a) above is given at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York city time on
a Business Day, Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage
Loans to Buyer prior to the close of business in New York City on the date of

Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans prior to the

(c) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be held
by Buyer as though it were Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans and, unless Buyer
shall otherwise consent, shall not reduce the Repurchase Price of the related
Transaction.
5. Income Payments
Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment
date on the Mortgage Loans subject to that Transaction, all payments and
distributions, whether in cash or in kind, made on or with respect to the
Purchased Mortgage Loans shall, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Buyer and
Seller, be paid, delivered or transferred: (a) in the case of Agency Securities,
directly to Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. as agent for the Buyer pursuant to the
instructions set forth at Exhibit E and (b) in the case of Mortgage Loans, so
long as an Event of Default on the part of Seller shall not have occurred and be
continuing, be paid directly to Seller by the related Mortgagor. Buyer shall not
be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent
that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior
thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer, at Buyer's
option, cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans sufficient to eliminate such
Margin Deficit.
6. Security Interest
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales
and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be
loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the
performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall
be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all proceeds
thereof. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses associated with perfecting such
security interest including, without limitation, the cost of filing financing
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code and recording assignments of
mortgage as and when required by Buyer in its sole discretion.

7. Payment and Transfer
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder
shall be in immediately available funds. All Mortgage Loans transferred by one
party hereto to the other party shall be transferred by notice to the Custodian
to the effect that the Custodian is now holding for the benefit of the
transferee the related documents and assignment forms delivered to it under the
Custody Agreement.
8. Segregation of Documents Relating to Purchased Mortgage Loans
All documents relating to Purchased Mortgage Loans in the possession of
Seller shall be segregated from other documents and securities in its possession
and shall be identified as being subject to this Agreement. Ownership of all
Purchased Mortgage Loans shall pass to Buyer and nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased
Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Mortgage
Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to resell
and transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof.
9. Substitution
Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other Mortgage Loans for any Purchased Mortgage Loans. Such
substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Mortgage Loans and
transfer to Seller of such Purchased Mortgage Loans. After substitution, the
substituted Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to be Purchased Mortgage Loans.

of each Transaction, deliver to Buyer through the Custodian a fully executed
Custody Receipt, and all other applicable documents required by the Custody
Agreement.

Request/Confirmations.

involving Mortgage Loans (other than HELs), shall cause the Custodian to be
provided with an executed Security Release Form appropriate for the related
Agency Security indicating that Seller releases its interest in the related
Mortgage Loans into one or more Agency Securities, upon the issuance of such
Agency Security or Securities. Such form shall be prepared by the Seller and

delivery thereof is required hereby. The Custodian shall execute such form on
behalf of Buyer.

incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or
deemed to have been made or repeated; provided, however, that in the
case of representations and warranties made with respect to the

other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(v) Any covenant in this Agreement or the Custody
Agreement shall have been breached in any material respect; provided,
however, that in the case of covenants made with respect to the

Purchased Mortgage Loans without taking into account the Purchased
Mortgage Loans with respect to which such circumstance has occurred, no
other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(vi) Buyer shall have reasonably determined that Seller is
or will be unable to meet its commitments under this Agreement, shall

$500,000 is rendered against Seller, and the same remains undischarged
for a period of sixty (60) days during which execution of such judgment
is not effectively stayed;
(ix) Any event of default or any event which with notice,
the passage of time or both shall constitute an event of default shall
occur and be continuing under any repurchase or other financing
agreement for borrowed funds or indenture for borrowed funds by which

acceleration of any debt obligation or the termination of any credit
facility of Seller; (ii) the amount and maturity of any such debt

respect with its obligations under the Custody Agreement.
(xiv) Any Approvals of the Seller are materially adversely

if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency),
the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately
to occur.
(c) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is Seller,
if Buyer is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (b)
of this Paragraph, (i) Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all
Purchased Mortgage Loans in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately
due and payable, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
14

the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of (x) the greater of the
Pricing Rate for such Transaction and the Prime Rate to (y) the Repurchase Price
for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to
subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph (decreased as of any day by (A) any amounts

Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller.
(e) After one (1) Business Day's notice to the defaulting party
(which notice need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and
which may be the notice given under subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph or the
notice referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of subparagraph (a) of
this Paragraph), the nondefaulting party may:
(i) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is
Seller, (A) immediately sell on a servicing released or servicing
retained basis as Buyer deems desirable, in a recognized market at such
price or prices as Buyer may in its sole discretion deem satisfactory,
any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions and
apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices
and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole
discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased
Mortgage Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans
in an amount equal to the Market Value therefor on such date against
the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by
Seller hereunder; and
(ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is
Buyer, (A) purchase mortgage loans ("Replacement Mortgage Loans")
having substantially the same outstanding principal amount, maturity
and interest rate as any Purchased Mortgage Loans that are not
transferred by Buyer to Seller as required hereunder or (B) in its sole
discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Mortgage Loans, to
be deemed to have purchased Replacement Mortgage Loans at the price
therefor on such date, calculated as the average of the prices obtained
from three (3) nationally recognized registered broker/dealers that buy
and sell comparable mortgage loans in the secondary market.
15
16
(f) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Buyer,
Buyer shall be liable to Seller (i) with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans
(other than Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans), for any excess of the price
paid (or deemed paid) by Seller for Replacement Mortgage Loans therefor over the
Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and (ii) with respect to
Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans, for the price paid (or deemed paid) by
Seller for the Replacement Mortgage Loans therefor. In addition, Buyer shall be
liable to Seller for interest on such remaining liability with respect to each
such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Mortgage Loans from the date
of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest
shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction
or the Prime Rate.
(g) For purposes of this Paragraph 12, the Repurchase Price for
each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is Buyer
shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such
Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by
Seller of its option under subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph.
(h) The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting
party for the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
nondefaulting party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the
Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate. Expenses incurred
in connection with an Event of Default shall include without limitation those
costs and expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party as a result of the early
termination of any repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase agreement entered
into by the nondefaulting party in connection with the Transaction then in
default.
(i) The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights
hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
applicable law.
(j) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller,
the Repurchase Date for any or all Transactions shall be deemed to immediately
occur in the event that the senior debt obligations or short-term debt
obligations of Bear Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. shall be rated below the four highest
generic grades (without regard to any pluses or minuses reflecting gradations
within such generic grades) by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization.
(k) The exercise by any party of remedies after the occurrence of
an Event of Default shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
13. Financial Statements
(a) The Seller shall deliver to Buyer a quarterly certificate (the
"Covenant Compliance Certificate") signed by an authorized officer of the Seller
to the effect that as of such date, the Seller is in compliance with all
covenants set forth in this agreement and all covenants set forth in the
Warehouse Facilities.
(b) Each delivery of Purchased Securities by the Seller to Buyer
hereunder will constitute a representation by the Seller that there has been no
material adverse change in the Seller's financial condition not disclosed to
Buyer since the date of the Seller's most recent unaudited balance sheet or
income statement delivered to Buyer. The Seller shall provide Buyer,
16
17
from time to time at the Seller's expense, with such information of a financial
or operational nature as Buyer may reasonably request promptly upon receipt of
such request.
14. Servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans
(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding
the purchase and sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby,
Seller shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Buyer and,
if Buyer shall exercise its rights to sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement prior to the related Repurchase Date, Buyer's assigns;
provided, however, that the obligation of Seller to service Purchased Mortgage
Loans for the benefit of Buyer as aforesaid shall cease upon the securitization
of Mortgage Loans into Agency Securities.
(b) The Seller shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures
generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the
standards incorporated (with respect to the GNMA securitization program) the
GNMA Guide or (with respect to the FNMA securitization program) the FNMA Guide
or (with respect to the FHLMC securitization program) the FHLMC Guide; provided,
however, that the Seller shall at all times comply with applicable law and FHA
regulations and VA regulations so that the FHA insurance, VA guarantee or any
other applicable insurance or guarantee, if any, in respect of any Mortgage Loan
is not voided or reduced. The Seller shall at all times maintain accurate and
complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
(c) Seller will provide Buyer with monthly reports, substantially
identical in form to FNMA's standard form of remittance report with respect to
all Purchased Mortgage Loans then involved in any Transaction hereunder.
(d) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, without payment of any termination fee or any
other amount to Seller, sell the Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis
without the payment of any termination fee to the Seller or terminate Seller as
the servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause.
15. Single Agreement
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will
enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set
off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and
(iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in
respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of
payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

23. Entire Agreement; Severability

remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise
any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give
a notice pursuant to subparagraph 4(a) hereof will not constitute a waiver of
any right to do so at a later date.
29. Use of Employee Plan Assets
(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to
be used by either party hereto (the "Plan Party") in a Transaction, the Plan
Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party
shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt
therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be
required so to proceed.
(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has
furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial
condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial

Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller's

Seller's financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii)
to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its
21
22
financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any
outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.
30. Intent
(a) Each Transaction involving Mortgage Loans (other than HELs) is
entered into in contemplation of the issuance of one or more Agency Securities
backed by the related Mortgage Loans. The parties intend that the Seller will
act as issuer or seller and/or servicer with respect to such Agency Securities,
as applicable, and that each Agency Security will be issued in the name of, and
delivered to or upon the order of, Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc.
(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction is a
"repurchase agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the
United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Mortgage Loans
subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such
definition inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in
Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
(c) It is understood that either party's right to liquidate
Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to
exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 12 hereof, is a contractual
right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
31. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the
parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SAPPY") do not protect the
other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the
parties is a government securities broker or a government securities
dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SAPPY
will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder; and
22
23
(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the
parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial
institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and
therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation or the National
Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

EXHIBIT C
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SELLER
1. Seller is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation
in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and has power
and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
the Custody Agreement. Seller is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted
by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition
(financial or other) of Seller and its subsidiaries, considered as a whole.
2. This Agreement and the Custody Agreement have each been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, and each constitutes a valid and
legally binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance
with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general equity principles.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or
federal court or government agency or body is required to be obtained by Seller
for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Custody Agreement.
4. The consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Custody Agreement will not conflict with, result in a
breach of, or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation or bylaws
of Seller or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known
to us to which Seller is party or bound, or any order known to such counsel to
be applicable to Seller or any regulations applicable to Seller, of any state or
federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over Seller.
5. There is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator
involving Seller or relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
or the Custody Agreement which, if adversely determined, would have a material
adverse effect on Buyer.
6. Seller is duly registered as a finance company in each state
in which Mortgage Loans were originated, to the extent such registration is
required by applicable law.
7. Each Mortgage Loan will have been endorsed in a manner which
satisfies any requirement of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title
and interest in and to that Mortgage Loan from Seller to Buyer. This Agreement
together with (a) the delivery of such related Mortgage Loans to Custodian and
(b) the endorsement of such Mortgage Loans to Buyer, creates a valid, perfected
security interest in such Mortgage Loans in favor of Buyer. As holder of the
Mortgage Loans by endorsement, Buyer shall, subject to the terms of the
Agreement, be entitled to the same security interest and liens with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as Seller, without the necessity of recording any assignments
of mortgage in the Registry of Property of Puerto Rico.
8. [In connection with the sale of Mortgage Loans to Buyer and
Buyer's holding of such Mortgage Loans, Buyer is not required to be licensed
under the laws of Puerto Rico. No consent, approval, authorization or order of
any state or federal court or government agency or body is required to be
obtained by Buyer for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Custody Agreement.]

the related HEL, which exceptions are generally acceptable to banking

encumbrances or rights of others except as set forth in clause (ix) or other
liens which will be released simultaneously with such transfer and assignment;
and immediately upon the transfer of the Purchased HELs as contemplated in this

the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with
respect to such mortgaged property with a carrier generally acceptable to Seller

outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased HEL (together, in the
case of a second-lien HEL, with the outstanding principal balance of the senior

expenses are or will become payable by the owner of the HEL to the trustee under
the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by
