marked to clearly reflect ownership of the Mortgage Loan by Purchaser and Seller
shall promptly release such portion of the Mortgage File to Purchaser, when
Seller's servicing needs no longer necessitate retaining such documents.

delivered pursuant to clause (C) above, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to
promptly secure the delivery of such originals and shall cause such originals to
be delivered to Purchaser or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof. If any
such document is not so delivered to Purchaser or the Custodian within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (or such longer period of
time as may be necessitated solely as a result in delays caused by a party other
than the Seller), the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of
Purchaser, (i) be repurchased by Seller at the price specified in Section 5(c),
or (ii) be replaced by a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (the election of (i)
or (ii) being at the option of Purchaser), provided that the Purchaser gives the
Seller notice within ten (10) days of the expiration of such delivery period.
No Assignment of Mortgage evidencing the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be recorded by Seller unless required by law.
Purchaser may at its option and expense (including recordation fees) prepare and
record any Assignment of Mortgage.
From and after the related Closing Date, Seller, as bailee
(the "Bailee"), shall continue to hold the Mortgage Files as custodian and
bailee for the Purchaser, the owner of the related Mortgage Loans, and shall
issue in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, a trust receipt in the form
of Exhibit 9 hereto (the "Trust Receipt") evidencing the ownership of the
Mortgage Loans related thereto.

evidencing the Purchaser's ownership of the related Mortgage Loans in the form
of Exhibit 10 hereto (the "Final Trust Receipt and Certification"), which Final
Trust Receipt and Certification shall have attached thereto a list of document
exceptions, if any, based upon the documents to be contained in the Mortgage

to the Bailee, the Bailee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser or any party designated in such notice, the Mortgage Files, and shall
release them to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance
-15-
with the directions of the Purchaser. Such delivery date(s) shall herein be
known as release date(s) (each, a "Release Date").
In the event that the Bailee fails to deliver any Mortgage
File, or any component thereof, in connection with the Purchaser's instructions,
the Bailee shall indemnify the Purchaser for and hold the Purchaser harmless
against any and all liability, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
arising out of such failure to deliver any Mortgage File.
From and after the Closing Date and until the applicable
Release Date, the Bailee shall maintain continuous custody and control of the
Mortgage Files as custodian and bailee for the Purchaser.
(c) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller may register the
Mortgages subject to this Agreement with MERS as a nominee for Seller, either
through the recordation of a mortgage or deed of trust which shows MERS as a
nominee for Seller or by the recordation of an Assignment which shows MERS as a
nominee for Seller, for purposes of facilitating the transfer of the Mortgage
Loan and/or Mortgage Loan Documents. Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge
that MERS will have no beneficial interest in the Mortgage Loan and that the
registration of the Mortgage Loan with MERS will not in any way affect the
rights, title, interest, obligations or responsibilities of Purchaser and Seller
under the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in
all ways necessary to effectuate the use of MERS for the purpose of facilitating
the transfer of applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, and withstanding any other
provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, agree to accept such documentation
and evidence of transfer provided by MERS under its operating documents to
accomplish the transfer of ownership in the Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 4. EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES.
Prior to the respective Closing Date, Seller, shall make available to
Purchaser, for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each related
Mortgage Loan at the offices of Seller, or such other location as Seller and
Purchaser shall mutually designate. Such examination may be made by Purchaser of
the related Mortgage Loan at any time before the related Closing Date and may be
made by Purchaser or any prospective Subsequent Purchaser of such Mortgagee Loan
at any time after such Closing Date. If Purchaser makes such examination prior
to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loan that does not conform to
the terms of the Purchase Price and Terms Letter, such Mortgage Loan shall be
deleted from the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and may be replaced by a
substitute Mortgage Loan that conforms to the terms of the Purchase Price and
Terms Letter and that is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Purchaser may, at
its option and without notice to Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage
Loans for a Transaction without conducting any partial or complete examination.
The failure or omission by Purchaser or any Subsequent Purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall
not affect Purchaser's rights to demand repurchase or other relief as provided
under any Program Document.
-16-
SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF SELLER.
(a) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that as of the date
hereof and as of each respective Closing Date (or as of such other date or dates
as may be expressly set forth below);
(i) Seller is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Seller has full power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to own
its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it,
and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Program
Documents and to sell each Mortgage Loan. To the extent material to
Purchaser's rights hereunder, Seller holds all material licenses
necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is
licensed in, qualified to transact business in and is in good standing
under the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located
if the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order
to conduct business of the type conducted by Seller, and in any event
Seller was and is in compliance with the laws of any such state to the
extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan.
(ii) This Agreement, the Amended and Restated Master Servicing
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Seller, and assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser and the enforceability
thereof against Purchaser, constitutes the legal, valid and binding
agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its
terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, reorganization or
other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by
general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(iii) As of the respective Closing Date, the related Purchased
Price and Terms Letter has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by Seller, and such Purchase Price and Terms letter, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser and the
enforceability thereof against Purchaser, constitutes the legal, valid
and binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in
accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally or by general principles of equity, regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(iv) As of the respective Closing Date, the related Warranty
Xxxx of Sale has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
Seller, and such Warranty Xxxx of Sale constitutes the legal, valid and
binding agreement of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance
with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, reorganization or
other similar laws
-17-
affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of
equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law.
(v) the representations and warranties made by Seller under
the Amended and Restated Master Servicing Agreement and the related
Warranty Xxxx of Sale are true and correct in all material respects as
of the respective Closing Date.
(vi) Neither the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser,
nor the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, nor the execution or
delivery of the Program Documents, nor the consummation of any of the
Transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the
terms hereof or thereof, will result in the breach of any term or
provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Seller, or
conflict with, result in a material breach or cause an acceleration of
or constitute a default under any material term of any material
indenture or other material agreement or instrument to which Seller is
a party or by which Seller is bound, or any statute, order or
regulation applicable to Seller of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency, government body or arbitrator having
jurisdiction over Seller.
(vii) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations
pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller that, in
Seller's judgment, if determined adversely to Seller, would prevent the
consummation of any of the Transactions or would materially and
aversely affect the interests of Purchaser in the Mortgage Loans, taken
as a whole, the validity or enforceability of any of the Program
Documents or the ability of Seller to fulfill the terms of any of the
Program Documents.
(viii) Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money
laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation, the USA
Patriot Act of 2001.
(b) Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser, as to each
Mortgage Loan as of each respective Closing Date or such other date as may be
specified below, that:
(i) The information set forth in the Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule is true and correct in all material respects.
(ii) As of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not
delinquent in payment more than 29 days and the Mortgage Loan has not
been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the
Mortgage Loan; Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) With respect to those Mortgage Loans which are required
to deposit funds into an escrow account for payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums and similar items as they become due,
there are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water
-18-
charges, sewer rents, assessments or other outstanding charges which
constitute a lien on the related Mortgaged Property, and all escrow
deposits have been collected, are under the control of Seller, and have
been applied to the payment of such items in a timely fashion, in
accordance with such Mortgage. With respect to those Mortgage Loans for
which escrow deposits are not required, to Seller's knowledge, there
are no delinquent taxes or other outstanding charges affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which constitute a lien on the related
Mortgaged Property.
(iv) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
written instruments contained in the Mortgage File, approved, if
necessary, by the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
and recorded in all places necessary to maintain the first priority of
the lien, the substance of which waiver, alteration or modification is
reflected on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, except by operation of law or in
connection with an assumption agreement which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the
Final Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(v) Neither the Mortgage Note nor the Mortgage is 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, to Seller's knowledge, no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted
by any Person with respect thereto.
(vi) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are required to
be insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customarily
included in extended coverage in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is located, pursuant to standard property insurance policies in
compliance with Seller's policies as from time to time in effect. To
the best knowledge of Seller, all such property policies are in effect.
On the date of origination, such standard property policies contained a
standard mortgage clause naming Seller or the originator of the
Mortgage Loan and their respective successors in interest as mortgagee
and to the best knowledge of Seller, such clause is still in effect
and, to Seller's knowledge, all premiums due thereon have been paid. If
the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1994, as amended, such Mortgaged
Property is covered by flood insurance in the amount required under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1994. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense
should the Mortgagor fail to do so and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor.
-19-
(vii) At the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan and
thereafter, all requirements of any federal or state law, including,
without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or
disclosure laws required to be complied with by Seller as the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and applicable to the Mortgage Loan
have been complied with in all material respects.
(viii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied as of the Closing
Date, canceled or subordinated, in whole, or rescinded, and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage,
in whole or in part (except for a release that does not materially
impair the security of the Mortgage Loan or release the effect of which
is reflected in the loan-to-value ratio for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule), nor to Seller's knowledge
has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission.
(ix) Ownership of the Mortgaged Property is held in fee simple
or leasehold estate. With respect to Mortgage Loans that are secured by
a leasehold estate, to Seller's knowledge: (i) the lease is valid, in
full force and effect, and conforms to all of Xxxxxx Mae's requirements
for leasehold estates; (ii) all rents and other payments due under the
lease have been paid; (iii) the lessee is not in default under any
provision of the lease; (iv) the term of the lease exceeds the maturity
date of the related Mortgage Loan by at least five (5) years; and (v)
the terms of the lease provide a Mortgagee with an opportunity to cure
any defaults. Except as permitted by the fifth sentence of this
paragraph (ix), the Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable
first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the
Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such
buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any
time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's
original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not
contain any evidence on their face of any security interest or other
interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse
claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of
the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and
other matters reflected in the public record as of the date of
recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally, or which are specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do
not in the aggregate adversely affect the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not in
the aggregate 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, subsisting and
-20-
enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the
property described therein. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the
security instruments create a valid, enforceable and subsisting first
priority security interest in the Cooperative Apartment securing the
related Mortgage Note subject only to (a) the lien of the related
cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor's pro
rata share of payments for a blanket mortgage, if any, current and
future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and
other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject, and (b)
other matters to which the collateral is commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be
provided; provided, however, that the related proprietary lease for the
Cooperative Apartment may be subordinated or otherwise subject to the
lien of a Mortgage on the cooperative building.
(x) The Mortgage Note is not subject to a third party's
security interest or other rights therein.
(xi) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine
and, to Seller's knowledge, each is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors. To Seller's knowledge,
all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. To Seller's knowledge, the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such
parties. To Seller's knowledge no fraud, error, omission,
misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including
without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting
the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to
make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.
An obligor of the debt evidenced by the Mortgage Note is a natural
person. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all
requirements in the Mortgage as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with.
(xii) Seller has good title to, and the full right to transfer
and sell, the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest including, to the best
knowledge of Seller, any lien, claim or other interest arising by
operation of law. Seller has full right and authority subject to no
interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to
sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and
following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.
-21-
(xiii) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or
insurance 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 Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in paragraph (ix) (1) (2)
and (3) above) Seller, its successors and assigns, the first priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed
to Purchaser or the assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest
therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer
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. To Seller's knowledge, no
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and
no prior holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance policy.
(xiv) To Seller's knowledge, there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
related 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 permitting
acceleration, except for any Mortgage Loan Payment which is not late by
more than 30 days, and Seller has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration.
(xv) To Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics' or similar
liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and,
to Seller's knowledge, 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.
(xvi) To Seller's knowledge, all material improvements subject
to the Mortgage, lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restrictions lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on
adjoining properties materially encroach upon the Mortgaged Property,
except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy
referred to in paragraph (xiii) above and all improvements on the
property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances.
(xvii) Each Mortgage Loan (except for any Mortgage Loan
designated as originated by others on any Final Mortgage Loan Schedule)
was originated by Seller, and at the time of each such origination of
such Mortgage Loan Seller was (except for any Mortgage Loan designated
as "originated prior to HUD approval" on any Final Mortgage Loan
Schedule) a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development (the "Secretary") pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten generally in
accordance with the
-22-
Underwriting Guide as in effect at the time of origination. The
Mortgage contains the usual and customary provision of Seller, if any,
in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of origination for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
prior consent of the Mortgagee thereunder.
(xviii) The Mortgaged Property at origination or acquisition
was and, to Seller's knowledge, is free of material damage and waste
and at origination there was, and to Seller's knowledge there is, no
proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof.
(xix) The related Mortgage contains 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, (1) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale or
judicial foreclosure, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Seller
has no knowledge of any 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.
(xx) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves as named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's
sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(xxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, there is an
appraisal on a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved form (or a narrative
residential appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property that conforms
to the applicable requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform
Recovery and Enforcement Act and that was signed prior to the approval
of such Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, appointed
by Seller or the originator of such Mortgage Loan, as appropriate, who
has no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in
any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of such Mortgage Loan.
(xxii) No Mortgage Loan contains "subsidized buydown" or
graduated payment features.
(xxiii) The Mortgaged Property has a single-family (one to
four-unit) dwelling residence erected thereon, or is an individual
condominium unit in a condominium, or a Cooperative Apartment or an
individual unit in a planned unit development or in a de minimis
planned unit development as defined by Xxxxxx Mae. No such residence is
a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling which is not permanently
attached to the land.
-23-
(xxiv) Except as set forth on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule
no Mortgage Loan is a Converted Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan
provides for negative amortization.
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan has an original term in excess of
thirty (30) years.
(xxvi) With respect to each Cooperative Loan, (a) there is no
provision in any proprietary lease which requires the Mortgagor to
offer for sale the cooperative shares owned by such Mortgagor first to
the cooperative, (b) there is no prohibition in the proprietary lease
against pledging the cooperative shares or assigning the proprietary
lease, (c) to Seller's knowledge, the Cooperative Apartment is lawfully
occupied under applicable law, and (d) to Seller's knowledge, all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued
with respect to all occupied portions of the Cooperative Apartment and
the related project have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities.
(xxvii) There exists no circumstance or condition with respect
to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property or use thereof, the
Mortgagor, the Mortgagor's credit standing or the documentation in the
Mortgage File that can reasonably be expected to cause private
institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable
investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely
affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.
(xxviii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty;
provided, however, that any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
prepayment penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note (i) is
identified on the related Final Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) with
respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October 1, 2002, no such
prepayment penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five (5)
years following origination and (iii) with respect to Mortgage Loans
originated on or after October 1, 2002, no such prepayment penalty may
be imposed for a term in excess of three (3) years following
origination.
(xxix) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan. No Mortgage Loan
is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and
no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local law.
(xxx) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage under Section
860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(xxxi) There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or
after October 1, 2002 and on or prior to March 7, 2003, which is
secured by property located in the State of Georgia.
-24-
(xxxii) Seller has, in its capacity as servicer for each
Mortgage Loan, caused to be fully furnished, in accordance with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on its
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit
Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
basis.
(xxxiii) No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit
life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition
of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid
single premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance
policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. In
connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan, no proceeds from
such Mortgage Loan were used to finance or acquire a single premium
credit insurance policy.
(xxxiv) The Mortgagor has not notified Seller, and Seller has
no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under
the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or other similar state statute.
(c) The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5(a) and
5(b) shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery of the
Mortgage Files to Purchaser notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination of any
Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either Seller or Purchaser of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties that materially and adversely
affects the interests of Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Seller shall have a
period of ninety (90) days from its discovery or its receipt of notice of any
such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. If any such breach
cannot be corrected or cured within such ninety-day period, Seller shall, not
later than ninety (90) days following discovery or its receipt of notice of such
breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the above sentence,
within ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach
of the representations or warranties set forth in clause (xxviii), (xxix),
(xxx), (xxxi), (xxxii) and (xxxiii) of Section 5(b), Seller shall repurchase
such Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be at a price equal to (i) the
Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan plus (ii) accrued interest on
such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate from the
date to which interest on such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate has last been paid and distributed to Purchaser to the date of
repurchase. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the
Custodial Account of the amount of the repurchase price, after deducting
therefrom any amounts received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and
being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution in accordance with
the Amended and Restated Master Servicing Agreement.
If Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
preceding paragraph on or prior to the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day
following the related Closing Date, Seller may, at its option, substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such deficient Mortgage Loan within such
one hundred and twenty (120) day period, in lieu of repurchasing such deficient
Mortgage Loan. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which Seller substitutes a
-25-
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, Seller shall effect such
substitution by delivering to Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other
documents and agreements as are required by Section 3(b). Seller shall deposit
in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of
such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by Seller. For the
month of substitution, distribution to Purchaser will include the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and
Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Seller shall give written
notice to Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the
related Final Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, each Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all
respects, and Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in Section 5(a) and 5(b) hereof.
Purchaser shall promptly effect the reconveyance of such Deleted Mortgage Loan
to Seller.
For any month in which Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, Seller will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less
than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage
Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by Seller in
the month of substitution pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Amended and Restated
Master Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution,
Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount
equal to the amount of such shortfall in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Master Servicing Agreement.
In addition to such cure, repurchase or substation obligation, Seller
shall indemnify Purchaser and hold it harmless against any loss, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion
based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of Seller's
representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) hereof.
Seller's obligation to cure a breach, or to repurchase or substitute a defective
Mortgage Loan and to indemnify Purchaser as provided in this Section 5(c),
constitute the sole remedies of Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties.
(d) Seller shall repurchase each Converted Mortgage Loan on or before
the first day of the month immediately following the date of such conversion at
a price equal to (i) the Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, plus
(ii) accrued interest on such Assumed Principal Balance at the Mortgage Interest
Rate from the date to which interest has last been paid and distributed to
Purchaser to the date of repurchase. Any such repurchase shall be
-26-
accomplished by deposit into the Custodial Account of the amount set forth in
the preceding sentence.
(e) SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
AS TO THE COLLECTABILITY OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS, THE SECURITY THEREFOR OR THE
STATUS OF ANY MORTGAGOR. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,
SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY
MATTER WHATSOEVER CONCERNING THE MORTGAGE LOANS OR THE MORTGAGE FILES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO MORTGAGE LOANS OR THE
ORIGINATION OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS. THE MORTGAGE LOANS AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTS
SHALL BE CONSIDERED FOR ALL PURPOSES TO BE PURCHASED BY PURCHASER "AS-IS,
WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" AND PURCHASED WITHOUT RECOURSE OF ANY KIND TO SELLER.
ANY PRIOR REPRESENTATION OR STATEMENTS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, AS TO THE
MORTGAGE LOANS OR ANY MATTER RELATED THERETO ARE MERGED HEREIN AND ANY SUCH
REPRESENTATIONS OR STATEMENTS NOT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE
HEREBY WITHDRAWN BY SELLER, AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IS NOT RELYING ON
THEM.

negotiated with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any interest in any
Mortgage Loan or other similar security with, any Person in any manner,

Loan a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or require
registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized
or will it authorize any Person to act, in such manner with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that as of the date
hereof, as of the date of each respective Purchase Price and Terms Letter as of

expressly set forth below):

constitute a default under a material term of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which
Purchaser is bound or any statute, order or regulation or any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or
arbitrator.
(v) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations
pending or, to Purchaser's knowledge, threatened against Purchaser
that, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, could draw into
question the validity of any of the Program Documents or prevent the
consummation of any of the Transactions.

Transactions.
-28-

Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SELLER; THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
