and
the Seller has prepared, or has provided information to the Depositor enabling
the Depositor to prepare, Schedule I attached hereto (“Schedule I”),
setting forth information with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
by
the Depositor as of the Closing Date. The Seller shall, with the Depositor’s
consent, amend or modify, or provide information to the Depositor enabling
the
Depositor to amend or modify Schedule I on or prior to the Closing Date if

accepted by the Depositor on the Closing Date. Schedule I, as so amended or
modified, shall conform to the requirements of the Depositor as set forth in
this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the
[Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement, and shall be the definitive
Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement.

respect to the Mortgage Loans paid by each borrower after the Cut-off Date,
except that the Depositor or any assignee or transferee of the Depositor will
not be entitled to any curtailments or other prepayments received on or after

2
(c) Pursuant

consideration of the issuance of the [Securities] [Certificates] to the
Depositor or its designee(s).
Section
3. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Mortgage
File.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the “Mortgage File” will be as defined in the
[Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Transfer
of Ownership.
Upon
the sale of any Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Loan Document
(as
defined below) with respect thereto shall be vested in the Depositor, and the
ownership of all other records and documents with respect thereto prepared
by or
which come into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the
Depositor. The Seller shall, upon the direction of the Depositor, promptly
deliver to [ ] (the “Custodian”) or such other designee
as the Depositor may direct, any documents that come into its possession with
respect to such Mortgage Loans following such sale. Prior to such delivery,
the
Seller shall hold any such documents for the benefit of the Depositor, its
successors and assigns.
(c) Delivery
of Mortgage Files.
To the
extent not previously delivered to the Depositor or a designee of the Depositor,
the Seller shall, not later than [two] Business Days prior to the Closing Date,
at the direction of the Depositor, deliver to the Custodian, each of the
mortgage loan documents required to be included in the Mortgage File pursuant
to
Section [2.01(b)] of the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement (the
“Mortgage Loan Documents”). The Mortgage Note for each such Mortgage Loan shall
be endorsed in blank or as otherwise directed by the Depositor, and the Mortgage
for each such Mortgage Loan shall name the Depositor, the Custodian or such
other party as designated by the Depositor as mortgagee or beneficiary, as
appropriate, or be assigned in blank or as otherwise directed by the Depositor.
Prior
to
the transfer and sale of any Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan Documents
delivered to the Custodian shall be held by the Custodian for the benefit of
the
Seller and the possession by the Custodian of such Mortgage Loan Documents
will
be at the will of the Seller and will be in a custodial capacity only. Following
the transfer and sale of any Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor
in
accordance with the terms and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this
Agreement, the Custodian will hold all Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to
it
hereunder for the benefit of the Depositor, as its agent and bailee. The
Custodian will act as a custodian for the receipt and custody of all Mortgage
Files and, after the transfer of any Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the
[Issuer] [Trustee], the Custodian will hold all Mortgage Loan Documents
delivered to it hereunder for the benefit of the [Issuer and on behalf of the
Noteholders] [Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders].
(d) Examination
of Mortgage Loan Documents: Acceptance of Mortgage Loans.
To the
extent not previously delivered to the Depositor or a designee of the Depositor,
the Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date either (i) deliver to the Depositor
or its designee in escrow, for examination, the Mortgage Loan Documents
pertaining to each Mortgage Loan then being sold by it or (ii) make such
Mortgage Loan Documents available to the Depositor or its designee for
examination at the Seller’s offices or at such other place as the Seller shall
specify. Any such Mortgage Loan Documents so held by the Seller and so made
available to the Depositor or its designee shall be held by the Seller and
so
made available solely as a matter of convenience to the Depositor or its
designee and in lieu of delivering such Mortgage Loan Documents to the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor, the Custodian or a designee of either entity
may
review the Mortgage Loan Documents to verify that all documents required to
be
included in each Mortgage File (as such term has been defined in the Transfer
and Servicing Agreement) are so included.
3
Prior
to
the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Custodian to review the documents
delivered pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to ascertain that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed on 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 Schedule I accurately reflects the information set forth in the
corresponding Mortgage File, to the extent required by Section [2.01] of the
[Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement. An additional review shall be
conducted by the Custodian 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 Mortgage File are included therein. If at any time the Depositor
or the [Indenture] Trustee, or the Custodian, 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 Loan, repurchase the defective Mortgage Loan or substitute for such
defective Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance
with
and if permitted by the terms of Section 6 hereof. At the time of such
repurchase or substitution, the Custodian shall release documents in its
possession relating to such Mortgage Loan to the Seller. The fact that the
Depositor, the [Indenture] 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
Depositor (or any assignee or successor thereof) to demand repurchase or other
relief as provided herein.
(e) Recordation
of Assignments of Mortgage.
Subject
to the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor, the Depositor
hereby authorizes and instructs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, to
record all Assignments required to be contained in the Mortgage File to the
extent required pursuant to Section [2.01] of the [Transfer] [Pooling] and
Servicing Agreement. All recording fees relating to the recordation of the
Assignments as described above shall be paid by the Seller. With respect to
any
Non-MERS Mortgage Loans, if the [Indenture] Trustee does not receive, within
the
time specified in the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement, evidence
satisfactory to it of such recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the
extent required pursuant to Section [2.01] of the [Transfer] [Pooling] and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall, in cooperation with the [Indenture]
Trustee, correct or cure any such omission or repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan within [90] days of such demand, which demand shall be made within the
time
specified in the [Transfer] [Pooling]and Servicing Agreement (including any
such
extensions provided for therein).

in
accordance with its respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,

notice to or registration or filing with any governmental authority or

effect on the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this

Section 7(d) below.
Section
6. Cure, Repurchase and Substitution Obligations.
(a) Each
of
the representations and warranties of the Seller contained herein shall survive
the purchase by the Depositor of any of the Mortgage Loans and shall continue
in
full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement
on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this
Agreement or the [Transfer] [Pooling]and Servicing Agreement. The
representations and warranties shall not be impaired by any review and
examination of Mortgage Loan Documents or other documents evidencing or relating
to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Depositor to review
or
examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Depositor, including the [Issuer for the benefit
of the Noteholders] [Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholdes] and
the
Custodian. With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein
that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller
has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller, the Depositor, the
Custodian or the [Indenture] Trustee that the substance of any such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding
the Seller’s knowledge or lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy of
such representation and warranty at the time it was made, the Seller shall
take
the action described in the following paragraph in respect of such Mortgage
Loan.
6
(b) [Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Seller, the Depositor, the [Indenture]
Trustee or the Custodian of any missing or materially defective document in
any
Mortgage File, or a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties
set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which in any
of
the foregoing cases materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interest therein of the Depositor, the [Indenture] Trustee or the
[Noteholders] [Certificateholders], the party discovering or receiving notice
of
such missing or materially defective document, breach, or default shall give
prompt written notice to the others. Upon its discovery or its receipt of notice
of any such missing or materially defective document, breach or default (the
“Defect Discovery Date”), the Seller shall either (a) within [90] days of
discovery or receipt of such notice, provide the Custodian with such missing
documents or cure such defect, breach or default, in all material respects
or
(b) within [90] days of such discovery or receipt of such notice, either
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the purchase price therefor or cause
the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute therefor one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans as defined in the [Transfer] [Pooling]and Servicing
Agreement; provided,
however,
that
any such substitution shall occur within [two] years of the Closing Date. The
Indenture Trustee or its designee shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the withdrawal of any Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing 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 (i) to the Custodian each of the
Mortgage Loan Documents required to be contained in the Mortgage File with
respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and (ii) if the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance on the date of substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan(s) is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) (after application of Monthly Payments due in the
month
of substitution), to the [Issuer] [Trustee] cash in an amount equal to such
substitution adjustment amount. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section shall
be
accomplished by the delivery into the Custodial Account, or at the direction
of
the Depositor, on (or determined as of) the last day of the calendar month
in
which such repurchase is made, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans
to
be repurchased.]
7
(c) [In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall
indemnify the Depositor and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary 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
the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 6 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and
to
indemnify the Depositor as provided in this Section 6 constitute the sole
remedies of the Depositor respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.]
(d) The
obligations of the Seller set forth in this Agreement to cure or to repurchase
a
materially defective Mortgage Loan or to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Depositor and others
as provided in this Agreement constitute the sole remedies of the Depositor
and
the Issuer against the Seller respecting a defective document in any Mortgage
File or a breach of representations and warranties of the Seller set forth
in
Section 4 hereof.
Section
7. Conditions to Obligation of the Depositor.

obligation of the Depositor hereunder to purchase the Mortgage Loans is subject
to:
(a) The
representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement (exclusive
of
Exhibit A hereto) shall be accurate in all material respects as of the Closing

Section
8. Mandatory
Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The
sale
and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule is mandatory, it being specifically understood and agreed that
each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an
award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Depositor for
the
losses and damages incurred by the Depositor in the event of the Seller’s
failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller
hereby grants to the [Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders] [Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders], a lien on and a continuing first
priority security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and
instrument evidencing each Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller
of its obligation to deliver such Mortgage Loans hereunder. All rights and
remedies of the Depositor under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative
with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law
or
equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.
Any
Mortgage Loans rejected by the Depositor shall concurrently therewith be
released from the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that,
upon
acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor or its designee and delivery
of payment to the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans
shall
be released. All rights and remedies of the Depositor under this Agreement
are
distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may
be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
Section
9. Indemnification.
(a) The
Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each person,
if
any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all
losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with
information furnished in writing to the Depositor by the Seller specifically
for
use therein, which shall include the information set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement under “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Mortgage Loans;” (b) any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller in this Agreement or
in
the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement being, or alleged to be, untrue
or incorrect in any material respect; or (c) the information regarding the
mortgage loan data as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto
as
Schedule I and made a part hereof for all purposes being, or alleged to be,
untrue or incorrect in any material respect; provided, however, that to the
extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which
the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or are based upon both
(1)
statements, omissions, representations, warranties, covenants or information
of
the Seller described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above and (2) any other factual
basis, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party only
to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities of
the
person or persons asserting the claim are determined to arise from or be based
upon matters set forth in clauses (a), (b) and/or (c) above. This indemnity
will
be in addition to any liability that the Seller may otherwise have.
9
(b) Promptly
after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any
such
action, the Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made
against the Seller under this Section 9, promptly notify the Seller in writing
of the commencement thereof and the Seller, upon the request of the Indemnified
Party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent
the Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of
such counsel related to such proceeding (in which case the Seller shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by the Indemnified Party except as set forth below). In any such
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (including local counsel), and the Seller shall bear the reasonable
fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the Seller to represent the Indemnified Party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants
in,
or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller
and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Seller, (iii) the Seller shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
Seller shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at
the
expense of the Seller. The Seller shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for
such
fees, costs and expenses as they are incurred. The Seller will not, without
the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent
to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual
or
potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise
or
consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. In addition,
for so long as the Seller is covering all costs and expenses of the Indemnified
Party as provided herein, no Indemnified Party will settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder without the consent of the Seller, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Seller shall respond to any
written request to provide such consent within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof; if the Seller fails to respond within such time period, the Seller
shall be deemed to have responded in the negative to such request.
10
(c) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to allow an Indemnified Party to recover
punitive damages or consequential damages from the Seller; provided however,
that this Section shall not limit indemnification of any Indemnified Party
for
damages (however construed) actually recovered from an Indemnified Party by
third parties.

Any
part,
provision, representation or warranty of this 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
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 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
12. Governing Law.
THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER
THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH LAWS.
Section
13. Agreement of the Seller.
The
Seller agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions
as
the Depositor, the [Indenture] Trustee, [the Owner Trustee,] the Custodian
or
the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in
order
to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement, [the
Indenture, the Trust Agreement] or the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of any UCC
financing statements to evidence the interests of the Depositor and any of
its
transferees in the Mortgage Loans and other assets assigned to the [Issuer]
[Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders].
12
Section
14. 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 Depositor, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Depositor or on the
Depositor’s behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instruments shall
survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans.
Section
15. Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries.
The
Seller hereby acknowledges that the Depositor will assign all its rights
hereunder (except the Depositor’s rights set forth in Section 9) to the [Issuer]
[Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders]. The Seller agrees that,
upon the execution of the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement, the
[Issuer] [Trustee] as assignee of the Depositor will have all such rights and
remedies provided to the Depositor hereunder (except those rights of the
Depositor set forth in Section 9) and this Agreement will inure to the benefit
of the [Issuer] [Trustee], [which will in turn pledge such rights and remedies
to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders]. The [Issuer and
Indenture] Trustee shall be [an] intended third party beneficiar[y][ies] of
this
Agreement.
Section
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) This
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 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 in Section 15 and the preceding sentence, this Agreement may not
be
assigned, pledged or hypothecated by any party without the written consent
of
each other party to this Agreement.
(c) This
Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the
subject matter hereof. Neither this 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 Agreement are for
purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.
(d) The
Depositor shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans and
all
Mortgage Loan Documents and any security interest created by Section 8 hereof
shall be deemed to have been released if, on the Closing Date, any of the
conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof shall not have been satisfied or
waived.
13
(e) It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyances of the Mortgage Loans
by the Seller to the Depositor as contemplated by this Agreement be construed
as
a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor. It is, further,
not
the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor,
including, but not limited to, the [Indenture] Trustee, to secure a debt or
other obligation of the Seller. Nevertheless, if, notwithstanding the intent
of
the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller then
(i)
this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Article 9 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other state as necessary; (ii) the conveyances provided
for herein shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller to
the
Depositor of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, all insurance policies and proceeds
thereof relating to the Mortgage Loans, all amounts payable by the holder of
the
Mortgage Loans 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 from
time to time held or invested in the Custodial Account, the Collection Account,
the [Note Payment] [Distribution] Account, the Certificate Distribution Account
or any other account established under the [Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing
Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other
property; (iii) the possession by the Depositor or its agents of Mortgage Notes
and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or tangible chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 8.9A-313 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code; and (iv) 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 Depositor for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of
the Depositor pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an
assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Depositor
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may
be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement is deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest will be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the [Transfer] [Pooling]
and
Servicing Agreement.
(f) The
Seller shall not file any involuntary petition or otherwise institute any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
against the Depositor so long as any debt instrument issued by the Issuer is
outstanding and for one year and one day thereafter.
Section
17. Request for Opinions.
The
Seller and the Depositor hereby request and authorize [XxXxx Xxxxxx LLP], as
their counsel in this transaction, to issue on behalf of the Seller and the
Depositor such legal opinions to the Depositor, the Servicer[s], the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer, the [Indenture Trustee,
the
Owner] Trustee, the Underwriters and the Rating Agencies as may be (i) required
by any and all documents, certificates or agreements executed in connection
with
this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) requested by the Depositor, the
Servicer[s], the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer,
the
[Indenture Trustee, the Owner] Trustee, the Underwriters or the Rating Agencies,
or their respective counsel.
14

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF [TBW MORTGAGE CORP.]
[Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in this Agreement, or if not assigned in this Agreement, the
[Transfer] [Pooling] and Servicing Agreement dated as of [
],
among
the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer[s] and the [Indenture]Trustee.
The
Seller represents and warrants with respect to each Mortgage Loan being conveyed
by it to the Depositor (for purposes of this Exhibit, the “Mortgage Loan”), as
of the Closing Date, as follows:
(a) The
Seller has good title to and is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage
Loan.
(b) Immediately
prior to the transfer and assignment to the Depositor, the Mortgage Note and
the
Mortgage were not subject to an assignment or pledge, other than with respect
to
which a release has been obtained in connection with such transfer, and the
Seller has full right and authority to sell and assign the Mortgage
Loan.
(c) The
Seller is transferring such Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear of
any
and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering
the Mortgage Loans.
(d) The
information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in
all
material respects as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be indicated
in such schedule.
(e) The
Mortgage Loan has been originated, acquired, serviced, collected and otherwise
dealt with in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws
(including with respect to fraud in the origination) and regulations, including,
without limitation, predatory
and abusive lending laws, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws, and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage.
(f) The
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid
and
binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(g) The
related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first or second lien on the related
Mortgaged Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all
encumbrances and liens (including mechanics liens) having priority over such
lien (other than the related first lien in the case of a second lien Mortgage)
of the Mortgage except for: (i) liens for real estate taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable; (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of
such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally or specifically reflected or considered in the
lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and (iii) 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 such Mortgage.
B-1
(h) Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to such
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on the
property described therein.
(i) No
payment due on any Mortgage Loan was more than fifty-nine (59) days past due
as
of the applicable date set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(j) The
Seller has not impaired, waived, altered or modified the related Mortgage or
Mortgage Note in any material respect, or satisfied, canceled, rescinded or
subordinated such Mortgage or Mortgage Note in whole or in part or released
all
or any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage,
or executed any instrument of release, cancellation, rescission or satisfaction
of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, in each case other than pursuant to a written
agreement or instrument contained in the Mortgage File.
(k) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated (other than to the
related first lien in the case of a Second Lien Mortgage Loan), 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 a release the effect of which is
reflected in the Loan-to-Value Ratio or Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio, as
applicable, for the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule).
(l) No
condition exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan which could give rise to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim, or defense including, without
limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right has been
asserted.
(m) Each
Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan is covered by either (i) a mortgage
title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of insurance policy
customary in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii)
if
generally acceptable in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located, an attorney’s opinion of title given by an attorney licensed to
practice law in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. All
of
the Seller’s rights under such policies, opinions or other instruments shall be
transferred and assigned to the Depositor upon sale and assignment of the
Mortgage Loans hereunder. The title insurance policy has been issued by a title
insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is located, insuring the original lender, its successor and assigns, as to
the
first or second priority lien of the Mortgage, as the case may be, in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject to the exceptions
contained in such policy. The Seller is the sole insured of such mortgagee
title
insurance policy, and such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force
and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not made, and the Seller has
no
knowledge of, any claims under such mortgagee title insurance policy. The Seller
is not aware of any action by a prior holder and the Seller has not done, by
act
or omission, anything that could impair the coverage or enforceability of such
mortgagee title insurance policy or the accuracy of such attorney’s opinion of
title.
B-2
(n) Other
than delinquency in payment, there is no material default, breach, violation
or
event of acceleration existing under the related 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 material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration. The Seller has not waived any
material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(o) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that provides for an adjustable interest rate,
all
rate adjustments have been performed in accordance with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note, subsequent modifications, if any, and all applicable
law.
(p) There
are
no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges, affecting the related Mortgaged
Property.
(q) To
the
Seller’s best knowledge no material litigation or lawsuit relating to the
Mortgage Loan is pending.
(r) The
Mortgage Loan obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance
policy (“Hazard Insurance”) in an amount at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of any improvements made to the related Mortgaged Property, and, if it
was
in place at origination of the Mortgage Loan, flood insurance, at the
mortgagor’s cost and expense. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified
in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as
having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy is in effect which met
the requirements of FEMA at the time such policy was issued. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor to maintain the Hazard Insurance and, if applicable,
flood insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain
and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The Mortgaged Property is covered
by
Hazard Insurance (unless such Mortgaged Property is unimproved
land).
(s) Unless
otherwise specified on Schedule II, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage, any
holdback amounts or any reserve amounts, and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.
(t) The
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 (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee’s sale or non-judicial foreclosure and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding
or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. In the
event the Mortgage constitutes 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 named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable by the Depositor to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Mortgagor. The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act.
B-3
(u) The
Mortgaged Property, normal wear and tear excepted, is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so
as
to affect materially and adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were
intended.
(v) Except
to
the extent insurance is in place which will cover such damage, the physical
property subject to any Mortgage is free of material damage and is in good
repair and there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of any Mortgaged Property.
(w) No
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property encroach on adjoining properties
(and in the case of a condominium unit, such improvements are within the project
with respect to that unit), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property unless there exists in the Mortgage File a title
policy with endorsements which insure against losses sustained by the insured
as
a result of such encroachments.
(x) Unless
otherwise specified on Schedule II, none of the Mortgage Loans (by Principal
Balance as of the Cut-off Date) permit negative amortization.
(y) With
respect to escrow deposits, if any, all such payments are in the possession
of
or under the control of, the Seller or the related servicer and there exist
no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made.
(z) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are or may be liens prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
(aa) The
Mortgaged Property with respect to each Mortgage Loan is either (i) real
property owned by the related Mortgagor in fee simple (including, in the case
of
a condominium, a proportionate undivided interest in areas and facilities
designated for the common use of condominium owners) or (ii) in the case of
a
Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Shares and Proprietary
Lease.
(bb) All
of
the Mortgage Loans (by Scheduled Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date)
are
first or second lien Mortgage Loans having a Loan-to-Value Ratio or Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio, respectively, of less than 125%.
(cc) No
Mortgage Loan was, at the time of origination, subject to the Home Ownership
and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any comparable state law.
B-4
(dd) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing
Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit
union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined
by a federal or state authority.
(ee) The
Servicer[s] for each Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, and will continue to
fully furnish, 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.
(ff) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller in accordance with the underwriting
standards generally applied by the Seller as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(gg) Each
primary insurance policy to which any Mortgage Loan is subject will be issued
by
an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and will provide the coverage
described in the Prospectus Supplement. All provisions of such primary insurance
policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force
and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject
to
any such primary insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith
at
least until Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to less than
80%. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance
premium.
(hh) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (a) no Mortgage Loan is a “high cost” or “covered”
loan within the meaning of any applicable federal, state or local predatory
or
abusive lending law; (b) no Mortgage Loan originated on or after November 27,
2003, is a “High-Cost Home Loan” subject to the New Jersey Home Ownership
Security Act of 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et seq.); no Mortgage Loan is a
“High-Cost Home Loan” subject to the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act (N.M.
Stat. Xxx. §§58-21A-1 et seq.); (c) no Mortgage Loan is a High-Cost Loan or
Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the then current
Standard & Poor’s LEVELSÒ
Glossary, which is now Version 5.6(b) Revised, Appendix E), and no Mortgage
Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002, through March 6, 2003, is governed
by
the Georgia Fair Lending Act; (d) no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used
to finance single-premium credit insurance policies; and (e) no prepayment
penalty is payable on any Mortgage Loan for a period in excess of five years
following origination.]
B-5
