Each of the Seller and the Depositor has filed prior to the date hereof all federal and state tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes, including any assessments received by it that are not being contested in good faith, to the extent that such taxes have become due, except with respect to any failures to file or pay that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Seller or the Depositor.

Neither the Seller nor the Depositor has any knowledge of any circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the Documents to include a statement of material fact which is untrue or misleading or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Seller, or the Depositor. Since the furnishing of the Operative Documents, there has been no change nor any development or event involving a prospective change known to the Seller or the Depositor that would render any of the Documents untrue or misleading in any material respect.
(k)
Compliance With Securities Laws. The offer and sale of the Certificates complies in all material respects with all requirements of law, including all registration requirements of applicable securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Offering Documents (excluding the Underwriter Information and the Certificate Insurer Information) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation is made with respect to the Underwriter Information or Certificate Insurer Information. The offer and sale of the Certificates has not been and will not be in violation of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws. The Seller and the Depositor shall satisfy in all material respects any of the information reporting requirements of the Securities Act arising out of the Transaction to which they or the Seller or the Depositor are subject.
(l)
Operative Documents. Each of the representations and warranties of the Seller or the Depositor contained in the applicable Operative Documents is true and correct in all material respects when made and each of the Seller and the Depositor hereby makes each such representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, the Certificate Insurer as if the same were set forth in full herein.
(m)
Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. Each of the Seller and the Depositor and is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the Transaction, is adequately capitalized in light of its anticipated business activities and, after giving effect to the Transaction, none of the Seller or the Depositor will be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in the ordinary course of its business, and neither the Depositor nor the Seller intends to incur, nor does the Depositor or the Seller believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor contemplates the commencement of insolvency, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of the Depositor or the Seller or any of their respective assets. The amount of consideration being received by the Seller upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Mortgage Loans. The amount of consideration being received by the Depositor upon the sale of the Certificates constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Certificates. The Seller is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, the Depositor is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to Trust nor is the Depositor selling the Certificates, as provided in the Operative Documents, with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Seller, the Depositor, or their respective creditors.

the violation by the Seller, the Depositor or the Trust of any foreign, federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, or any judgment, order or decree applicable to it, which violation reasonably could result in a material adverse change as described in clause (i) of the definition of Material Adverse Change;

The omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Party and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but, if settled with its written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice in accordance with this subsection (c), the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, the consent of such Indemnified Party shall not be required if such settlement fully discharges, with prejudice against the plaintiff, the claim or action against such Indemnified Party.
(d)
To provide for just and equitable contribution if the indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party is determined to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party (other than due to application of this Section), each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the losses incurred by the Indemnified Party on the basis of the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand; provided, however, that no Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to contribute for any portion of such losses except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is liable for such losses.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
