prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage
loans such as the Mortgage Loans.
(iii) Each Mortgage Loan being transferred to the Sponsor is a

Mortgage;
(vii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein
contemplated, each Affiliated Originator held good and indefeasible
title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan conveyed by

simultaneously with such transfer and assignment; and immediately
upon the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Trustee

(x) There is no valid and enforceable right of rescission
offset, defense or counterclaim to any Note or Mortgage, including
the obligation of the related Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal
of or interest on such Note or the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage,
or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage unenforceable in whole or in part, or subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
(xi) There is no mechanics' lien or claim for work, labor or
material affecting any Property which is or may be a lien prior to,
or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage except those which

(xii) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in
all material respects with all applicable state and federal laws and
regulations, including, without limitation, the federal
Truth-in-Lending Act and other consumer protection laws, real estate

and recording laws;
9
12
(xiii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, a lender's title
insurance policy, issued in standard California Land Title

company authorized to transact business in the state in which the
related Property is situated, in an amount at least equal to the

valid and existing hazard insurance policy (which may be a blanket
policy of the type described in the related Advanta Pooling
Agreement) with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for
fire and extended 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 Second 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;
(xv) If the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination relates
to a Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards,
(which may be a blanket policy of the type described in the related
Advanta Pooling Agreement) a flood insurance policy in a form
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal
Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable carrier is in
effect with respect to such Property in an amount representing
coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Master Servicer
of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan of not less
than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973;
(xvi) Each Mortgage and Note is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the maker thereof and is enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding or
action in equity or at law), and all parties to each Mortgage Loan
had full legal capacity to execute all documents relating to such
Mortgage Loan and convey the estate therein purported to be
conveyed;
10
13
(xvii) Each Affiliated Originator has caused and will cause to
be performed any and all acts required to be performed to preserve
the rights and remedies of the servicer in any Insurance Policies
applicable to any Mortgage Loans delivered by such Affiliated
Originator including, to the extent such Mortgage Loan is not

Agreement, any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of
policies or interests therein, and establishments of co-insured,
joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the servicer;
(xviii) Each original Mortgage was recorded or is in the
process of being recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the
original Mortgage have been recorded in the appropriate

recorded);
(xix) The terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been
impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written
instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the
interest of the owners and which has been delivered to the Trustee.
The substance of any such alteration or modification is reflected on
the related Schedule of Mortgage Loans and has been approved by the
primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any;
(xx) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee
to make future advances thereunder. 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.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing or
recording such Mortgage Loans were paid;

prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
11
14
(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 original principal amount of the related Mortgage
Loan. No Note permits or obligates the Master Servicer, the
Sub-Servicer or the Sponsor to make future advances to the related
Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor;
(xxvii) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the
total or partial condemnation of any Property, nor is such a
proceeding currently occurring, and each Property is undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, flood, tornado or other
casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the Property as

to such Property, are stated in such title insurance policy and
affirmatively insured;
(xxix) No improvement located on or being part of any Property

authorities and such Property is lawfully occupied under the
applicable law;
(xxx) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is

case of a Third Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related second
lien) prior to the making of such Mortgage Loan or (B) such consent
has been obtained and is contained in the related File;

provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the related Property of
the benefits of the security, including
