SALE
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
Section
2.01. Sale
of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Servicing Agreement. The
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does
hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each
Mortgage Loan, including the Cut-off Date Principal Balance, all interest due
thereon after the Cut-off Date and all collections in respect of interest and
principal due after the Cut-off Date (and all principal received before the
Cut-off Date to the extent such principal relates to a Monthly Payment due
after
the Cut-off Date) (other than (a) the Servicing Rights with respect to the
SRO
Mortgage Loans (each as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and
(b)
any Reserved Rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans); (ii) property which
secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed
in
lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect
of
the Mortgage Loans and (iv) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns
to
the Purchaser all of its rights and interest (but none of its obligations)
under
the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements to the extent relating
to
the Mortgage Loans (other than (a) the Servicing Rights with respect to the
SRO
Mortgage Loans and (b) the Reserved Rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans).
The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise
all such rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment
Agreements as if the Purchaser had been a party to such agreement.
Section
2.02. Obligations
of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In
connection with the transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller further
agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to indicate
in
its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee
a
computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage Loans
specifying for each such Mortgage Loan the information required to be set forth
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and such file, which forms a part of Schedule
A to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall also be marked as Schedule I to
this
Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement.
2
In
connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of
the
Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee (or a custodian as its
designated agent), as assignee of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date,
the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
including, but not limited to, the Servicing Agreement.
The
Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has made the
appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that the
Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee, or a custodian appointed
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to act on behalf of the Trustee,
and that the Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust in accordance with
the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest
in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, and its rights under
the
Servicing Agreement and the Assignment Agreements, now existing or hereafter
created, conveyed to it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.
The
parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a non-recourse
sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right, title and
interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in
Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth herein is
deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security
interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the
Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether now
existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations
hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser 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 the Mortgage Loans,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest
of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
2.03. Payment
of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.
In
consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser
on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the Closing
Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to
$899,721,179.82
(which
amount includes accrued interest) (the “Purchase
Price”).
The
Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all reasonable expenses incurred
by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, printing fees incurred in connection with the Prospectus
Supplement and the Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Certificates,
fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees of the rating agencies requested
to rate the Certificates, accountant’s fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket
costs, if any.

of the Seller.
The
Seller hereby covenants that, except for the transfer hereunder, it will not
sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur,

[Reserved]
ARTICLE
VI

Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser
by
written agreement signed by the parties hereto.
Section
7.02. Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other

and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with
such laws.
6
Section
7.03. Notices.

demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by

Section

of Provisions.
If any
one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining

way
affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement.
Section
7.05. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such
counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
Section
7.06. Further
Agreements.
The
parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional
documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and
appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in the Trust Fund,
including the Mortgage Loans.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the
Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will
cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates.
In
that connection, the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all
information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters
of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably
request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional representations and
warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and
certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably
required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.
7
Section
7.07. Intention
of the Parties.
It is
the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller
is
selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure
a
loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend
to treat the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the
Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review
the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income
tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with
all
reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such
review.
Section
7.08. Successors
and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of the Seller under
this
Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent
of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion,
except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign
its
obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Seller is merged or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller. The
parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans
and the rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreement and the Assignment
Agreements for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue
the
Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller
acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee
of
all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement
insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee
and
to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy
by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy
had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
Section
7.09. Survival.
The
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 hereof
shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
Section
7.10. [Reserved]

the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage 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 Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render 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. Each
Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible,
enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local
law;
V-1
(vii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to
insurance policies providing coverage in an amount not less than the greatest
of
(i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property,
(ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with
respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B) with respect to each second
lien
Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related
first
lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal balance of the second lien
Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent
with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination
in
accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. All such insurance policies contain
a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as
mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property
is
in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards
(and
such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such
insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans and
applicable to any prepayment penalty associated with the Mortgage Loans at
origination have been complied with;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) is
a
valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to
be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second
lien
and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the 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 of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second
lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first lien
on
the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value
or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with
the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first
or
second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case, as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property described therein
and
the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The
Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan,
subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security
instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
V-2
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with
its
terms;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the 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 Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note
and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to
the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the 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
Mortgaged Property is located;
V-3
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1)
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable
to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan
(c), above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second
priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage
in
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (including, if the Mortgage
Loan provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative
Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) and, with respect to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment
and
Negative Amortization provisions of the Mortgage Note. Additionally, such
lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and
from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such
lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in
full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made
under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full
force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage
note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, (iv) either (A) the first lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the first lien mortgage, (v) the related first lien does not
provide for or permit negative amortization under such first lien Mortgage
Loan,
and (vi) either no consent for the origination of the Mortgage Loan is required
by the holder of the first lien or such consent has been obtained and is
contained in the Mortgage File;
(xviii) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
V-4
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is
supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(xxi) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after
the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
not a
Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of
each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during
the
interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient
to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof
(other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period
or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule
as
a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the period
following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative
Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, that the Monthly
Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount of
the
Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior to the Payment Adjustment Date;
provided, further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable
with
respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a year
in
which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of five (5) years
and in any such year the Monthly Payment shall be adjusted to fully amortize
the
Mortgage Loan over the remaining term. With respect to each Mortgage Loan
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan,
the
interest-only period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other period
specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such
interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the
Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With
respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the 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 and requires a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than
the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid
principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan as the Due Date of such monthly
payment. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as set forth on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan. No
Balloon Mortgage Loan has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7)
years;
V-5
(xxii) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage including, without limitation, the establishment,
maintenance and servicing of the Escrow Accounts and Escrow Payments, if any,
since origination, have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note and Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect
to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the
possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
or
other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments are being held by the Seller for any work on a Mortgaged Property
which
has not been completed;
(xxiii) The
Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding
pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
(xxiv) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a
deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil
Relief Act;
(xxv) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
in
effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated which underwriting standards
satisfy the standards of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac; and the Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac;
(xxvi) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
(x) above;
V-6
(xxvii) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
satisfied the standards of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac, was on appraisal form
1004 or form 2055 with an interior inspection and was made and signed, prior
to
the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly
appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof at the time
of
such appraisal, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of
Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;
(xxviii) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes 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 the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxix) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid
by
any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions
which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated
payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature;
(xxx) The
Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received
all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making
of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, and
adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans
and
rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such

(xxxi) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation

Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiii) No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 95%. Each
Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject
to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures
that
portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgaged Property as required by Xxxxxx Mae. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan which allows negative amortization, such Primary Insurance Policy contains
provisions to cover the potential negative amortization of such Mortgage Loan.
All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for
the
Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. No Mortgage Loan
is
subject to a lender paid primary mortgage insurance policy;
V-7
(xxxiv) The
Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law; all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and

the appropriate authorities;
(xxxv) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including

the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xxxvii) Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and
single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second (as indicated
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by
other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan plus any Negative Amortization;
(xxxviii) If

V-8
(xli) The
Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all applicable environmental
laws pertaining to environmental hazards including, without limitation,
asbestos, and neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, the related
Mortgagor, has received any notice of any violation or potential violation
of
such law;
(xlii) The
Seller shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage Loan to be covered by
a
Tax Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee;
provided however, that if the Seller fails to purchase such Tax Service
Contract, the Seller shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all costs
and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any
such Tax Service Contract;
(xliii) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a Flood Zone Service Contract which is assignable
to
the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by such
Flood Zone Service Contract, the Seller agrees to reimburse the Purchaser for
the cost of obtaining such Flood Zone Service Contract;
(xliv) No
Mortgage Loan is (a)(1) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”) or (2) has an APR or total
points and fees that are equal to or exceeds the HOEPA thresholds (as defined
in
12 CFR 226.32 (a)(1)(i) and (ii)), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered”

E);
(xlv) No
predatory, abusive, or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited
to, the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s
ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a mortgagor

with
the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with

No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy (e.g.,
life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance) or
debt
cancellation agreement in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit
insurance policies ) or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination
of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;
V-9
(xlviii) The
Mortgage Loans were not selected from the outstanding one- to four-family
mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio as to which the representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement could be made at the related Closing
Date
in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the
Purchaser;
(xlix) The
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment
of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent
of
the mortgagee thereunder;
(l) The
Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer credit statutes and
regulations, including, without limitation, the respective Uniform Consumer
Credit Code laws in effect in Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming, has been
originated by a properly licensed entity, and in all other respects, complies
with all of the material requirements of any such applicable laws;
(li) The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to Prepayment Charges
is
complete, true and correct in all material respects and each Prepayment Charge
is permissible, enforceable and collectable in accordance with its terms upon
the Mortgagor’s full and voluntary principal payment under applicable
law;
(lii) The
Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Closing Date and the Seller
has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full shall
be made after the Closing Date;
(liii) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by cooperative housing, commercial property or mixed
use property;
(liv) Each
Mortgage Loan is eligible for sale in the secondary market or for inclusion
in a
Securitization Transaction without unreasonable credit enhancement;
(lv) Except
as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior to
October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge
does not extend beyond five (5) years after the date of origination. For any
Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject to
a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three (3)
years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains
a
provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to
maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to
such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited
to a
rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the

V-10
(lvi) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Seller has established an
anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with
the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor
and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the Mortgaged
Property, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224
(the
“Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC
Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations,
and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or the
OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC
Regulations;
(lvii) No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a
for
a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor was assigned the highest credit
grade available with respect to a mortgage loan product offered by such Mortgage
Loan’s originator, based on a comprehensive assessment of risk factors,
including the Mortgagor’s credit history;
(lviii) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(lix) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has fully and accurately furnished
complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on the related borrower
credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company,
in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations,
on a monthly basis and, for each Mortgage Loan, the Seller will furnish, in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations,
accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax,
Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly
basis;
V-11
(lx) All
points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to
the
related Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and
regulations. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal
amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable
origination, no related Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not

or second priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (including,
if
the Mortgage Loan provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of
Negative Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) and, with respect to
any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity

Negative Amortization provisions of the Mortgage Note. Additionally, such
lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to
and
from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the sole insured of such

provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under
the
second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee
an
opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first

There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for
work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could
give
rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may

over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan
identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in
any
case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during
the
interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is
sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully
amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period
(including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such
Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate;
provided, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds
107.5% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior
to
the Payment Adjustment Date; provided, further, that the payment adjustment
cap
shall not be applicable with respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly
Payment that occurs in a year in which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding
for a multiple of five (5) years and in any such year the Monthly Payment shall

repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan as
the
Due Date of such monthly payment. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan is as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan is a
Convertible Mortgage Loan. No Balloon Mortgage Loan has an original stated
maturity of less than seven (7) years;
