Originator or its properties, or might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder and under the
other Conveyance Agreements to which such Affiliated Originator is a
party, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement
or the Mortgage Loans taken as a whole or of any action taken or to be
taken in connection with the obligations of the Affiliated Originator
contemplated herein.

adversely affect its performance hereunder and under the Conveyance
Agreements to which such Affiliated Originator is a party.
(vi) Neither this Agreement nor any certificate of an officer,
statement furnished in writing or report delivered pursuant to the
terms hereof by such Affiliated Originator contains any untrue

coverage representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (together,
in the case of a Junior Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal
balance of the Senior Lien), (B) the minimum amount required to
compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the
full insurable value of the Property;

minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that

related Schedule of Mortgage Loans and has been approved by the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, if any;

disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to

provided in the Advanta Pooling Agreement;
(xxvi) Any advances made after the date of origination of a
Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-Off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single
interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Schedule of
Mortgage Loans. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the

no consent for such Mortgage Loan was required by the holder of the
related Senior Lien prior to the making of such Mortgage Loan or (B)
