NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND SCHEDULES
Section 1.01.
Definitions. Any capitalized term used but not defined herein and below shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Prospectus Supplement dated April 21, 2003 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
ARTICLE II
SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
Section 2.01.
Sale of Mortgage Loans; Assignment of the Servicing Agreements. The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Mortgage Loan, including the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance, all interest due thereon after the Cut-Off Date and all collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-Off Date (and all principal received before the Cut-Off Date to the extent such principal relates to a Monthly Payment due after the Cut-Off Date); (ii) property which secured such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans and (iv) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights and interest (but none of its obligations) under each Servicing Agreement, other than any servicing rights retained pursuant to the provisions of such Servicing Agreements, to the extent relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all such rights of the Seller under each Servicing Agreement as if the Purchaser had been a party to each such agreement.
Section 2.02.
Obligations of the Seller Upon Sale and Assignment. In connection with the transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (a) to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (b) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee a computer file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage Loans specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-Off Date, (i) its account number and (ii) the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and such file, which forms a part of Schedule A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall also be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
In connection with such conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf of the Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee (or a custodian as its designated agent), as assignee of the Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, the documents described in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement including, but not limited to, the Servicing Agreements.
The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee, or a custodian appointed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to act on behalf of the Trustee, and that the Mortgage Loans constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property, and its rights under the Servicing Agreements, now existing or hereafter created, conveyed to it pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.
The parties hereto intend that the transaction set forth herein be a non-recourse sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01. Nonetheless, in the event the transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described in Section 2.01, whether now existing or hereafter created, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.03.
Payment of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. In consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay to the Seller on the Closing Date by transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $314,194,185.87 (which amount includes accrued interest) (the “Purchase Price”). The Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, including, without limitation, printing fees incurred in connection with the Prospectus Supplement and the Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Certificates, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, fees of the rating agencies requested to rate the Certificates, accountant’s fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket costs, if any.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 5.01.
Indemnification. (a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors, each of its officers and each person or entity who controls the Purchaser or any such person, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint and several, as incurred, to which the Purchaser, or any such person or entity may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse the Purchaser, each such director and officer and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus Supplement approved in writing by the Seller or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto, approved in writing by the Seller, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relates to the Seller Information contained in the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information on any computer tape furnished to the Purchaser or any affiliate thereof by or on behalf of the Seller containing information regarding the assets of the Trust, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any information provided by the Seller to the Purchaser or any affiliate thereof, or any material omission in the information purported to be provided thereby and disseminated to any Rating Agency, Deloitte & Touche LLP or prospective investors (directly or indirectly through available information systems) in connection with the issuance, marketing or offering of the Certificates. This indemnity provision will be in addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of its officers, directors and each person or entity who controls the Seller or any such person, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint and several, to which the Seller, or any such person or entity may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, and will reimburse the Seller for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Seller, each such officer and director and such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not contained in the Seller Information in the Prospectus Supplement. For the purposes hereof, “Seller Information” means the information in the Prospectus Supplement contained under the headings “Summary of Terms—Mortgage Loans,” the first sentence under “Risk Factors—Loan prepayments may adversely affect the average life of, and rate of return on, your certificates,” the first sentence under “Risk Factors—Mortgage loans with interest-only payments,” the first sentence under “Risk Factors—Default risk on high balance mortgage loans,” the first sentence under “Risk Factors—Geographic concentration of the mortgage loans may adversely affect your certificates,” “The Mortgage Loans,” “The Servicers” (except for the information provided under the heading “The Servicers—GMAC Mortgage Corporation”), “The Seller and the Originators” (except for the information provided under the heading “The Seller and the Originators—Underwriting Standards”) and the first sentence of the fifth and sixth paragraphs under “Yield, Prepayment and Maturity Considerations—Prepayment Considerations and Risks.” This indemnity provision will be in addition to any liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Article V of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Article V, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article V.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Article V for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser, if the indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the Purchaser, or by the Seller, if the indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the Seller.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity provisions contained in Section 5.01(a) and (b) hereof, shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to consent to a settlement of any action, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and the indemnifying party has not previously provided the indemnified party with written notice of its objection to such settlement. No indemnifying party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which an indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity is or could have been sought hereunder, without the written consent of such indemnified party, unless settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Article V are for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity provision incurred by the Seller and the Purchaser in such proportions as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the sale of the Certificates such that the Purchaser is responsible for the lessor of (i) 0.25% thereof and (ii) 0.25% of the aggregate proceeds to the Seller from the sale of the Certificates and the Seller shall be responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5.01, each officer and director of the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser, each director and officer of the Seller and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller.
(e) The Seller agrees to indemnify and to hold each of the Purchaser, the Trustee, each of the officers and directors of each such entity and each person or entity who controls each such entity or person and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such person or entity and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way (i) related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) arising from a breach by the Seller of its representations and warranties in Section 3.01 of this Agreement. The Seller shall immediately notify the Purchaser, the Trustee and each Certificateholder if a claim is made under this provision. The Seller shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Purchaser, the Trustee or any such person or entity and/or any Certificateholder in respect of such claim.
ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION
Section 6.01.
Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser created hereby shall terminate, except for the Seller’s indemnity obligations as provided herein, upon the termination of the Trust as provided in Article X of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 7.01.
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.
Section 7.02.
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 7.03.
Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
if to the Seller:
Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Legal Department
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
if to the Purchaser:
Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc.
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Legal Department
or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. in writing by the Purchaser.
Section 7.04.
Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions of terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.05.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, which may be transmitted by telecopier each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 7.06.
Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver to the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or in connection with the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in the Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates. In that connection, the Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide to the Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with the offering of the Certificates.
Section 7.07.
Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.
Section 7.08.
Successors and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion, except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans and the rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreements for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will issue the Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
Section 7.09.
Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule IIIA shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Flow Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2002, between GCFP, as purchaser, and GMAC Mortgage Corporation (“GMAC”) , as seller and servicer.
Each reference to a “Mortgage Loan” in this Schedule IIIA shall mean a “GMAC Originated Loan” (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and each reference to a “Mortgaged Property” shall mean a Mortgaged Property related to a GMAC Originated Loan. Each reference to the “Seller” in this Schedule IIIA shall mean GCFP, in its capacity as seller of the GMAC Originated Loans. Each reference to the “Purchaser” in this Schedule IIIA shall mean Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc., in its capacity as purchaser of the GMAC Originated Loans. Each reference to the “Mortgage Loan Schedule” in this Schedule IIIA shall mean the mortgage loan schedule forming Schedule I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent that it relates to the GMAC Originated Loans.
(i)
The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date;
(ii)
The Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple or leasehold estate in real property securing the related Mortgage Note, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent 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 which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which an appraisal was made prior to the Cut-Off Date, either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, 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 Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein;
(iii)
The Mortgage Loan has not been delinquent thirty (30) days or more at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan. There are no defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; and the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
There are no delinquent taxes which are due and payable, ground rents, assessments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(v)
The terms of the Mortgage Note of the related Mortgagor and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by applicable law or is necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which have been approved by the title insurer and the primary mortgage insurer, as applicable, and copies of which written instruments are included in the Mortgage File. No other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement, which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi)
The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or 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;
(vii)
All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer pursuant to standard hazard policies conforming to the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. All such standard hazard policies are in effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the originator or the Mortgage Loans and their successors in interest as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, such Mortgaged Property is covered by flood insurance by a generally acceptable insurer in an amount not less than the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii)

(x)
The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage Note have been fully disbursed and 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;
(xi)
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(xii)
The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance, with all necessary endorsements, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in representation (ii) above) the Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loans and their successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Such title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loans is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s or the originator of the Mortgage Loan’s interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(xiii)
There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
(xiv)
To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics, or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;

The Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with all the terms, conditions and requirements of GMAC’s underwriting standards. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(xvii)
The Mortgage Loan contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

Except as otherwise set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan does not contain terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization nor contain “graduated payment” features or “buydown features.” The Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;
(xviii)
The Mortgaged Property at origination of the Mortgage Loan was and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, currently is free of damage and waste and at origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
(xix)

(xxiii)
To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there does not exist any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, to cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or to materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxiv)
Each of the Mortgaged Properties consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single-family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or a townhouse, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project or an individual unit in a planned unit development. Any condominium unit or planned unit development either conforms with applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or is covered by a waiver confirming that such condominium unit or planned unit development is acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac or is otherwise “warrantable” with respect thereto. No such residence is a mobile home or manufactured dwelling;
(xxv)
The ratio of the original outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan to the lesser of the appraised value (or stated value if an appraisal was not a requirement of the applicable processing style) of the Mortgaged Property at origination or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan (the “Loan-to-Value Ratio”) is not in excess of 95.00%. The original Loan-to-Value Ratio of each Mortgage Loan either was not more than 95.00% or the excess over 80.00% is insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a primary mortgage insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
