ownership of each Mortgage Loan Document with respect to each Mortgage Loan
shall be vested in the Purchaser, and the ownership of all other records and
documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come
into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser. The
Seller shall promptly deliver to the Custodian (as defined below) or the Master

Prior to the transfer and sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this

upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Sales Agreement, the Custodian will
hold all
-3-

Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to it hereunder for the benefit of the
Purchaser, as its agent and bailee. The Custodian, who will also act as the
Trustee, will act on its behalf as a custodian for the receipt and custody of
all Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and after the transfer of the Mortgage Loans
from the Purchaser to the Trust, the Custodian will hold all Mortgage Loan
Documents delivered to it hereunder for the benefit of the Trustee, as trustee

(d) Examination of Mortgage Loan Documents: Acceptance of Mortgage
Loans. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the

Documents pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Loan
Documents available to the Purchaser or its designee for examination at the
Seller's offices or at such other place as the Seller shall specify. The
Purchaser, the Trustee, or a designee of either entity may review the Mortgage
Loan Documents to verify that all documents required to be included in each
Trustee Mortgage Loan File (as such term has been defined in the Agreement) are
so included.
Prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee or its designee shall review the
documents delivered pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to ascertain that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in Schedule I, (i) all documents required to be
delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 3(c) have been received, (ii) such
documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and
(iii) the information on the Mortgage Loans set forth in Schedule I accurately
reflects the information set forth in the corresponding Trustee Mortgage Loan
File, to the extent required by Section ___ of the Agreement. An additional
review shall be conducted by the Trustee or its designee prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date to determine that all Mortgage Loan Documents
required to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File are included therein.
If at any time the Purchaser or the Trustee discovers or receives notice that
any Mortgage Loan Document is missing or defective in any material respect with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall correct or cure any such omission
or defect or, if such omission or defect materially impairs the value of the
Mortgage Loans, repurchase or substitute for such defective Mortgage Loan in
accordance with and if permitted by the terms of Section 7 hereof. At the time
of such repurchase or substitution, the Trustee shall release documents in its
possession relating to such Mortgage Loan to the Seller. The fact that the
Purchaser, the Trustee or a designee of either entity has conducted or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Loan
Documents prior to the Closing Date shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
(or any assignee or successor thereof) to demand repurchase or other relief as
provided herein.
(e) Incomplete Trustee Mortgage Loan Files. In the event the Seller
does not deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian a complete Trustee
Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan identified on the Closing Schedule
(each such Mortgage Loan, an "Incomplete Mortgage Loan") by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on the day prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser may withhold from the
Pool Purchase Price and deposit with the Trustee cash in an amount equal to the
Principal Cut-off Balance for each Incomplete Mortgage Loan, plus one month's
interest thereon at the Note Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate for each such
Incomplete Mortgage Loan. If cash is deposited with the Trustee by the Purchaser
with respect to an Incomplete
-4-
5
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall use its best reasonable efforts to provide the
Trustee with the Mortgage Loan Documents missing from the Trustee Mortgage Loan
File for the Incomplete Mortgage Loan by [one business day prior to the first
distribution date]. If the Seller fails to provide such missing Mortgage Loan
Documents prior to such date, the Seller shall either repurchase from the
Purchaser the Incomplete Mortgage Loan for the Purchase Price or substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan therefor, provided, however, that any such
repurchase of or substitution for an Incomplete Mortgage Loan occurs by [one
business day prior to the first distribution date]. Any funds deposited with the
Trustee with respect to an Incomplete Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the
Trustee until all of the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to the Incomplete
Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Trustee, or until the Seller has
repurchased such Incomplete Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser or effected a
substitution therefor. However, if the Seller does not complete the repurchase
or substitution of the Incomplete Mortgage Loan by [one business day prior to
the first distribution date], the Trustee will apply the cash deposited in
satisfaction of the Seller's obligation to repurchase such Incomplete Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the Agreement. Such repurchase shall be applied on the first
Distribution Date in payment on the Securities, and the Trustee shall
simultaneously release the Incomplete Mortgage Loan File to the Purchaser or its
designee.
(f) Recordation of Assignments of Security Instrument. Subject to the
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the
terms of this Sales Agreement, The Purchaser hereby authorizes and instructs the
Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, to
record all Assignments required to be contained in the Trustee Mortgage Loan
File pursuant to the Agreement in the public recording office for the
jurisdiction in which the related Mortgage Premises is located. All recording
fees relating to the recordation of the Assignments as described above shall be
paid by the Seller. If the Trustee does not receive, within the time specified
in the Agreement, evidence satisfactory to it of such recording with respect to
any Mortgage Loan or, in the alternative, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
the Purchaser to the effect that such recording is not required to protect the
right, title and interest of the Trustee in any such Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall, in cooperation with the Master Servicer, correct or cure any such
omission.]
[ Upon the transfer of the Assets to the Purchaser by the Seller,
ownership thereof shall be vested in the Purchaser. As soon as possible prior to
the Closing Date of the sale of the Assets to the Purchaser, the Seller shall
deliver to the Trustee the Assets together with bond powers executed in favor of
"__________________________, AS TRUSTEE FOR __________ SERIES 199_-_" and any
transferor documents and opinions of counsel required by the Agreement or other
documents under which the Assets were issued. Prior to the closing of the sale,
the Trustee shall hold the Assets for the benefit of the Seller. Proceeds shall
be delivered on the Closing Date or may, upon the agreement of the parties, be
netted against amounts due the Seller. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties acknowledge that the [PARTICULAR CERTIFICATE] has been lost. The Seller
agrees to provide the Trustee with a replacement certificate, registered in the
name of the Trustee or in negotiable form, as promptly as possible after the
Closing Date.]]

Qualification Defect, or if a Qualification Defect otherwise exists with respect
to [a Mortgage Loan][an Asset], the Seller must cure such defect or repurchase
the affected [Mortgage Loan][Asset] within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.
[The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of any Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Sales Agreement and the
Agreement and the addition, if any, of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.]
[In order to effect a substitution pursuant to this section, the Seller will
deliver to the Trustee (i) each of the [Mortgage Loan] Documents required to be
contained in the Trustee [Mortgage Loan] File with respect to the Qualified
Substitute [Mortgage Loan][Asset](s) and (ii) if the aggregate Unpaid Principal
Balance on the date of substitution of the Qualified Substitute [Mortgage
Loan][Asset](s) is less than the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the
Deleted [Mortgage Loan][Asset](s) (after application of [Monthly] Payments due
in the month of substitution), cash in an amount equal to such shortfall.] [Any
repurchase pursuant to this Section shall be accomplished by the delivery to the
Trustee, on (or determined as of) the last day of the calendar month in which
such repurchase is made, of the Purchase Price.]
(c) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set
forth in this Sales Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute for a materially
defective [Mortgage Loan][Asset] and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in
this Sales Agreement constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and the
Trustee against the Seller respecting a defective document in any
-12-
13
Trustee [Mortgage Loan] File [or Servicer Mortgage Loan File] or a breach of
representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Section 4 hereof.

the Purchaser hereunder to purchase the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] is subject to:

SECTION 9. FEES AND DEPOSITS.
[(a)] On the Closing Date, the Seller will pay to the Purchaser an
"Issuance Fee," which fee includes (i) a fee for the Purchaser's services in an
amount not greater than $_________ which fee includes fees and expenses of
attorneys, accountants (but not in connection with an accountant's review of
"Collateral Term Sheets," "Series Term Sheets," and/or "Computational
Materials," as such terms are defined in the Underwriting Agreement), printers
and the Trustee in connection with the issuance of the Securities, (ii) the fees

Mortgage Loans as of the immediately preceding Due Date without taking into
account any payments of principal due on such Due Date.]
[SECTION 10. SERVICING.
(a) The Seller has represented to the Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans
are serviced by ________________________.
-14-
15
(b) In consideration of the services rendered under the Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to a monthly Servicing Fee for
each Mortgage Loan computed based upon the Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Due Date (without taking into
account any payment of principal due on such Due Date). The Servicing Fee for
each Mortgage Loan shall be payable solely from the interest portion of each
[Monthly] Payment paid by the Obligor or other payment of interest paid with
respect to the Mortgage Loan, whether from the proceeds of foreclosure or any
judgment, writ of attachment or levy against the Obligor or its assets, or from
funds paid in connection with any prepayment in full or from Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to retain in addition to the
Servicing Fee any late charges, prepayment fees, conversion fees, penalty
interest or assumption fees paid by the Obligor, which amounts are not required
to be deposited to their Custodial Principal and Interest Accounts.]
SECTION 11. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The sale
and delivery on the Closing Date of the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] described in
the [Mortgage Loan] [Asset] Schedule is mandatory, it being specifically
understood and agreed that each [Mortgage Loan][Asset] is unique and
identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be
insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by
the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the [Mortgage
Loans][Assets] on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the
Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each [Mortgage
Loan][Asset] and each document and instrument evidencing each such [Mortgage
Loan][Asset] to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation to
deliver such [Mortgage Loans][Assets] hereunder. Subject to Section 7(c) hereof,
all rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Sales Agreement are distinct
from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Sales
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
SECTION 12. INDEMNIFICATION; ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS; THIRD-PARTY
BENEFICIARY.
(a) In the event the Seller breaches its representations, warranties,
covenants or obligations set forth herein, the Seller shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchaser from and against any actual loss, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeiture, 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, such breach, except to the extent such breach
is the result of the Purchaser's failure to fulfill its obligations under this
Sales Agreement. Promptly after receipt by the Purchaser of notice of the
commencement of any such action, the Purchaser will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Seller under this Section, notify the Seller
in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Seller
will not relieve the Seller from any liability hereunder unless such omission
materially prejudices the rights and positions of the Seller. In case any such
action is brought against the Purchaser, and it notifies the Seller of the
commencement thereof, the Seller will be entitled to participate therein, and to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser, and
after
-15-
16
notice from the Seller to the Purchaser of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the Seller will not be liable to the Purchaser under this Section for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Purchaser in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of such investigation. The
Seller shall (i) pay to the Purchaser, in addition to any amounts that may be
due hereunder, the Issuance Fee and (ii) to the extent such breach by Seller
results in the inability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under the
Underwriting Agreement, reimburse the Underwriter upon demand for all amounts
otherwise payable by the Purchaser pursuant to Section __ of the Underwriting
Agreement, in either case in the event that any such breach or any of the
following results in the inability of the parties hereto to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein: (A) failure to obtain any consent or
authorization, if any, required under federal or Tennessee law for the Seller to
perform the transactions contemplated herein; or (B) Seller's failure to satisfy
any of the conditions set forth in Section 8(a), (b), (c) or (d) hereof.
(b) In the event of a breach by the Underwriter of the obligation to
purchase the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or a
breach by _______ of the obligation to purchase the Class __ Securities pursuant
to the ____ Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser hereby assigns to the Seller,
subject to payment in full of the Issuance Fee by the Seller to the Purchaser,
any and all rights of action or other claims the Purchaser may have against the
Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and against ____ pursuant to
the ____ Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the Purchaser expressly
reserves, and does not hereby assign, its rights to indemnification and
contribution under the Underwriting Agreement, the ____ Purchase Agreement and
any other rights to indemnification or contribution it may have at law or in
equity.
(c) In the event the Seller breaches its obligation to sell and deliver
the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] hereunder, the Purchaser hereby assigns to the
Underwriter any and all rights of action or other claims the Purchaser may have
against the Seller pursuant hereto, except its rights to the Issuance Fee
referred to in Section 9(a) above. The parties agree that the Underwriter is an
intended third-party beneficiary of the Seller's representations and warranties
contained in Section 4 of this Sales Agreement[, provided, however, that the
Underwriter's sole remedy for materially defective documents in, or the omission
of required documents from, any Trustee Mortgage Loan File or Servicer Mortgage
Loan File shall be limited to the cure or repurchase of, or substitution for, a
defective Mortgage Loan from the Trust as provided in Section 7(b) hereof, and
provided further that the Underwriter's remedy for any other breach of the
Seller's representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of this Sales
Agreement shall be the indemnification by the Seller from and against any actual
loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeiture, 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, such breach.] Seller
hereby agrees to so indemnify the Underwriter; provided, however, that the
second and third sentences of Section 12(a) above (modified to change references
to the Purchaser to be references to the Underwriter, as the case may be) shall
apply to the Seller's indemnification obligations to the Underwriter under this
Section 12(c).
-16-
17
(d) To the extent that the Purchaser and the Trustee are not
indemnified by the Master Servicer, the Seller shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchaser and the Trustee and any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents against any loss, liability or expense, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred arising out of or in connection with this
Sales Agreement, the Agreement or the Securities, including, but not limited to,
any such loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal
action against the Purchaser or the Trustee or any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents, or the performance of any of the
Purchaser or the Trustee's duties under this Sales Agreement or the Agreement
other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of their respective
duties under this Sales Agreement or the Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties under this Sales Agreement or the Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall survive the termination of this Sales
Agreement and the Agreement. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser and the
Trustee are relying upon the foregoing indemnification in entering into this
Sales Agreement and the Agreement.
SECTION 13. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally

representation or warranty of this Sales Agreement which is prohibited or which
is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Sales Agreement
that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any [Mortgage Loan][Asset] shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SALES AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE,
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TENNESSEE OR OTHER CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS TO THE
CONTRARY.
SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF THE SELLER. The Seller agrees to execute and
deliver such instruments and take such actions as the Seller or the Trustee may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to
carry out the terms of this Sales Agreement including, without limitation, the

of the Purchaser and any of its transferees in the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] and
other assets assigned to the Trust.
SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. The Seller agrees that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other
instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the
Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the
Purchaser or on the Purchaser's behalf, and that the representations, warranties
and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other
instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the [Mortgage
Loans][Assets].
SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the
Purchaser will assign all its rights hereunder (except those rights set forth in
Sections 9 and 12) to the Trustee. The Seller agrees that, upon the execution of
the Agreement, the Trustee will have all such rights and remedies provided to
the Purchaser hereunder (except those rights set forth in Sections 9 and 12) and
this Sales Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
constitute not only an assignee of the Purchaser's rights in accordance with
this Section but also an intended third party beneficiary of this Sales
Agreement to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and to obtain the
benefit of such remedies.
-18-
19
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Sales Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Sales
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Any person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated or
any person resulting from a merger or consolidation involving the Seller or any
person succeeding to the business of the Seller shall be considered the
successor of the Seller hereunder, without the further act or consent of either
party. Except as provided above, this Sales Agreement cannot be assigned,
pledged or hypothecated by any party without the written consent of each other
party to this Sales Agreement.
(c) This Sales Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Sales
Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The
headings in this Sales Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall
not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(d) The Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the
[Mortgage Loans][Assets] [and all Mortgage Loan Documents] and any security
interest created by Section 11 hereof shall be deemed to have been released if,
on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall
not have been satisfied or waived.
(e) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] by the Seller to the Purchaser as contemplated
by this Sales Agreement be construed as a sale of the [Mortgage Loans][Assets]
by the Seller to the Purchaser. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the [Mortgage Loans][Assets] by the
Seller to the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser, including, but not
limited to, the Trustee, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
[Mortgage Loans][Assets] are held to be property of the Seller then (a) this
Sales Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Article 9 of the Tennessee Uniform Commercial Code or the Uniform
Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, as necessary; (b) the conveyance provided
for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a
security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
[Mortgage Loans][Assets] and all amounts payable to the holder of the [Mortgage
Loans][Assets] in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities, or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other
than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Custodial
Principal and Interest Account, [the related Master Servicer Custodial Account,]
or the Asset Proceeds Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; [(c)
-19-
20
the conveyance provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller
to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and
interest in and to the Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans;]
(d) all insurance policies relating to the [Mortgage Loans][Assets]; [(e) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agents of Mortgage Notes and such other items
of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the [Trustee's
jurisdiction] Uniform Commercial Code;] and (f) notifications to persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as
applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser
pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any
security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the
extent consistent with this Sales Agreement, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Sales Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the [Mortgage Loans][Assets], 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 this Sales Agreement
and the Agreement.
SECTION 20. REQUEST FOR OPINIONS. The Seller and the Purchaser hereby
request and authorize Hunton & Xxxxxxxx, as their counsel in this transaction,
to issue on behalf of the Seller and the Purchaser such legal opinions to the
Trustee, the Underwriter, and the Rating Agencies as may be (i) required by any

Sales Agreement or (ii) requested by the Trustee, the Underwriter, or the Rating
Agencies, or their respective counsel.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE SELLER
AS TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS]

[ SCHEDULE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY THE SELLER
AS TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS
(a) The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule was true and correct at the date or dates as of
which such information was furnished.
(b) The Seller has not assigned any interest or participation
in any Mortgage Loan other than to the Purchaser (or if any such interest or
participation has been assigned it has been released or will be released prior
to or concurrently with the purchase of such Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser).
The Seller has not acted to (i) modify any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to
any Mortgage Loan in any material respect, (ii) satisfy, cancel or subordinate
any Mortgage Loan in whole or in part, (iii) release the related Mortgaged
Property in whole or in part from the lien of any Mortgage Loan or (iv) execute
any instrument effecting the release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction
of any Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan delivered to the
Purchaser, the Custodian or the Purchaser's other designee is the original
Mortgage Note and is the only Mortgage Note evidencing the Mortgage Loan that
has been manually signed by the related Obligor. As of the Cut-off Date, there
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any of
the Mortgage Loan Documents transferred to the Purchaser or any event that with
notice and expiration of any grace or cure period would result in such a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(d) As of the Cut-off Date, no [Monthly] Payment on any
Mortgage Loan was more than 30 days delinquent.
(e) Each Mortgage Note and Security Instrument executed and
delivered by a Obligor in connection with a Mortgage Loan has been duly executed
and delivered by the related Obligor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with
its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity (whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(f) Each Security Instrument securing a Mortgage Loan has been
duly recorded in the appropriate governmental recording office in the
jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located or has been
submitted to such recording office for recordation.
-23-
24
(g) If the Security Instrument securing a Mortgage Loan does
not name the Seller as the beneficiary or mortgagee, then a valid assignment, in
recordable form, assigning the Security Instrument to the Seller or to the
Purchaser, has been duly recorded (or has been sent for recordation) in the
appropriate records depository for the jurisdiction in which the related
Mortgaged Property is located, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser the
original of such assignment accompanied by appropriate evidence that such
assignment has been duly recorded (or a copy thereof certified by the
appropriate records depository to be a true and complete copy of the recorded
assignment) or a copy of the original assignment together with a certificate
from an officer of the Seller certifying that such assignment has been sent for
recordation in the appropriate records depository, but that such recorded
assignment has not been returned to the Seller.
(h) No Mortgage Loan has been modified in any material respect
since the date of its origination and no Mortgage Loan is presently subordinated
in whole or in part to any other lien, nor has the Mortgaged Property securing
any Mortgage Loan been released in whole or in part from the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(i) Each Security Instrument contains customary and
enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization of the holder's rights against the related
Mortgaged Property in the event of a foreclosure or trustee's sale of such
property. Upon default by an Obligor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or
trustee's sale of, the related Mortgaged Property pursuant to proper procedures,
the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable
title to the Mortgaged Property underlying that Mortgage Loan, except to the
extent that the enforceability of remedies against such Obligor may be subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally, and to general principles of equity (whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity). There is no homestead exemption or other
exemption or defense available to the related Obligor that would prevent the
sale of the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or impair the right of the
holder to foreclose thereon.
(j) In connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan,
the originator complied with all applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations, including but not limited to those related to consumer credit,
equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending
and usury.
(k) An appraisal of the Mortgaged Property underlying each
Mortgage Loan was made at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated by an
appraiser who met the minimum qualifications of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac for
appraisers of conventional residential mortgage loans and was completed on a
form satisfactory to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.
-24-
25
(l) The Seller has legal authority to transfer the Mortgage
Loans and the assignment of each Security Instrument to the Trustee constitutes
a legal, valid and binding assignment of the Security Instrument and creates, or
upon recordation will create, a valid first priority security interest in favor
of the Trustee in such Security Instrument or vests ownership of such Security
Instrument in the Trustee.
(m) The Security Instrument securing each Mortgage Loan
creates a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property
subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. "Permitted Encumbrances" consist of the
following in respect of any Mortgage Loan:
1) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable;
2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of public record as of the
date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the related
originator and referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator; and
3) 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
Security Instrument or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
(n) There are no mechanic's or other liens against the related
Mortgaged Property which are superior to or equal to the first lien of the
related Mortgage Loan, except such liens that are expressly insured against by a
Title Insurance Policy.
(o) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water
charges, sewer rents, insurance premiums, assessments (including, but not
limited to, assessments payable in future installments), governmental
assessments or municipal charges due and owing as to any Mortgaged Property. All
such charges have been paid or a sufficient escrow has been established to make
payment of such charges.
(p) Each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and, to
the best of the Seller's knowledge, is in good repair. The Seller is not aware
of any condemnation proceedings with respect to any Mortgaged Property.
(q) All improvements located on each Mortgaged Property that
were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie
within the boundary lines of, and comply with building restrictions applicable
to, the Mortgaged Property. There is no violation of applicable zoning laws or
regulations with respect to any Mortgaged Property. No improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon any Mortgaged Property in any respect so as to affect
adversely the value or marketability of the Mortgaged Property.
-25-
26
(r) The full principal amount of each Mortgage Loan has been
paid to the related Obligor or according to the direction of the Obligor. The
Obligor has no option under the related Security Instrument to borrow additional
funds secured by the related Security Instrument from the Seller or any other
person. The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, as
set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, is correct and is fully secured by the
related Mortgage.
(s) Except with respect to any funds held in a temporary
buy-down fund for a buy-down loan, no Mortgage Loan is subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the related
Mortgage Note or Security Instrument, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render either the Mortgage Note or the Security Instrument unenforceable, in
whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto.
(t) Pursuant to the terms of each Mortgage, all improvements
on the related Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae against loss by fire and such other risks as are usually insured against by
the broad form of extended coverage hazard insurance policy as is from time to
time available. All such improvements are also insured against flood hazards if
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development or the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
subject to special flood hazards (and if flood insurance is available for real
properties located in the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located). All
such insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") meet the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration,
conform to the Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx' Guide and the Xxxxxx Mae Servicers' Guide,
and collectively constitute a standard policy of insurance for the locale where
the Mortgaged Property is located. The coverage provided by such a hazard
insurance policy is in the amount of the lesser of (i) the full insurable value
of the related Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the unpaid
balance of the Mortgage Loan, and in any event must at least be sufficient to
avoid application of any co-insurance clause contained in such hazard insurance
policy. The hazard insurance policy names (and will name) the present owner of
the Mortgaged Property as the insured and contains a standard mortgagee loss
payable clause in favor of the originator (or another initial payee under the
related Mortgage Note) and its successors and assigns, including the Seller and
its successors and assigns. The Security Instrument obligates the Obligor
thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Obligor's cost and
expense, and on the mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Security Instrument to obtain and maintain such insurance at such holder's cost
and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Obligor. Where required
by state law or regulation, the Obligor has been given an opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required hazard insurance.
(u) Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy and Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if any) is the valid and binding obligation of the related
insurer, is in full force and
-26-
27
effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the
Purchaser and its successors and assigns (including the Trustee) upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement. The Seller
has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Obligor having engaged in, any
act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits
of any endorsement provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect of
either of the foregoing. Statements made by either the Seller or the related
Obligor in the applications for such insurance were true and complete at the
times of such applications and, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, no events
have occurred since the policies for such insurance were issued that would
reduce the stated coverage provided by such policies.
(v) Each Mortgage Loan is secured by a fee simple estate (or,
if the Mortgaged Property is located in Hawaii or Maryland, a leasehold estate)
and the related Mortgaged Property consists of a parcel of real property with a
single family residence or a two- to four-family dwelling erected thereon.
(w) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney's
opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or (ii) an American Land Title Association ("ALTA")
lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of
insurance for the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the initial mortgagee
(or beneficiary in the case of a deed of trust) and its successors and assigns
(including the Trustee) as to the first priority status of the lien created by
the related Mortgage, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined above
in paragraph II(m)), providing coverage in the amount of 100% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and providing coverage against any loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from any
provisions of the Security Instrument providing for adjustment to the Mortgage
Rate and [Monthly] Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the
Obligor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of such lender's
title insurance. The related initial mortgagee (or beneficiary in the case of a
deed of trust), together with its successors or assigns (including the Trustee),
is the sole insured under 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 sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. 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 provided by such lender's title
insurance policy.
(x) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or
similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.
(y) Neither the related originator nor the Seller has made any
representations to the related Obligor that are inconsistent with the mortgage
instruments used. If the Mortgage
-27-
28
Loan has an adjustable interest rate, (i) the Mortgage Rate is adjusted on each
applicable interest rate adjustment date, in accordance with the schedule set
forth or described in the related Mortgage Note, to equal the applicable index
plus the applicable gross margin, rounded as specified in the related Mortgage
Note, subject to any periodic and/or lifetime Mortgage Rate caps; (ii) all
required notices of interest rate and payment amount adjustments have been sent
to the Obligor on a timely basis and such adjustments were properly calculated;
(iii) installments of interest are subject to change due to the adjustments to
the Mortgage Rate on each interest rate adjustment date, with interest
calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan
fully by its stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty
years from commencement of amortization; and (iv) all Mortgage Rate adjustments
have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of
the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state
and local law has been properly paid and credited.
(z) For any Security Instrument that constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently serves as such trustee and is
named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Seller or the Purchaser or its assignees (including the Trustee) to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Obligor.
(aa) The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or
conditions with respect to any Mortgage, the related Mortgaged Property, the
related Obligor or the Obligor's credit standing 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.
(ab) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning specified for such term in section 860G of the Code and does not contain
any provision requiring action that would render it not such a "qualified
mortgage."
(ac) Any Mortgage Loan identified on Schedule [ ] to the Sales
Agreement as being insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or
guaranteed in whole or in part by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA")
has been serviced in compliance with applicable FHA or VA regulations and the
FHA insurance or VA guarantee with respect to such Mortgage Loan as in effect at
the origination of such Mortgage Loan is in full force and effect. Any premiums
required to be paid to date with respect to such federal insurance or guarantee
have been paid and such federal insurance or guarantee is valid and enforceable.
(ad) As of the date hereof, no property securing a Mortgage
Loan is subject to foreclosure, litigation, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
or any workout or foreclosure agreement, and, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, the filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding that would result
in any Mortgage Loan becoming subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings is
not imminent.
-28-
29
(ae) If one or more REMIC elections are to be made with
respect to all or part of the Trust, the REMIC Loan-to-Value Ratio of each
Mortgage Loan is less than 125% either (i) at the time of its origination or as
of the Startup Day or (ii) if such Mortgage Loan has been modified other than as
a result of a default or reasonably foreseeable default, as of the Startup Day.
(af) Each Mortgage Loan has closed and the proceeds of each
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed; there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder; and any and all requirements as to completion of any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with.
(ag) All parties that have had any interest in each Mortgage
Loan, whether as a mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during
the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (a) and
FHA-approved mortgagee and a VA-approved lender, (b) in compliance with any and
all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise exempt, and (c)(1) organized under
the laws of such state, (2) qualified to do business in such state, (3) a
federal savings and loan association, savings bank or national bank having
principal offices in such state or (4) not doing business in such state.
(ah) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no action, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence in respect
of any Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person (including,
without limitation, the mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer or
any party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application
for any insurance relating to such Mortgage Loan) that would result in an
exclusion from, or denial, defense to coverage, under any insurance policy
required to be obtained for the Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, any
FHA insurance or VA guarantee.]
