lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land;

upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of
the Assigned Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of

hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on any related Mortgaged Property; any
casualty resulting from the presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on, near or emanating from any related Mortgaged Property; the impact
on Certificateholders of any environmental condition or presence of any
hazardous substance on or near any related Mortgaged Property; or the compliance
of any related Mortgaged Property with any environmental laws, nor is any agent,
Person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Seller authorized or able to make
any such representation, warranty or assumption of liability relative to any
related Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or warranties are
made by the Seller with respect to the absence or effect of fraud in the
origination of any Assigned Mortgage Loan.
The Seller hereby agrees that any cure of a breach of such representations
and warranties shall be in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
4. Representations and Warranties as to the BANA Mortgage Loans. The Seller
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser with respect to the BANA
Mortgage Loans or each BANA Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as of the date
hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date:
(a) The information set forth in the mortgage loan schedule attached hereto
as Exhibit IX (the "BANA Mortgage Loan Schedule" and together with the Assigned
Mortgage Loan Schedules, the "Mortgage Loan Schedules") is true and correct in
all material respects;
(b) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges, affecting the lien priority of the
related Mortgaged Property (a "BANA Mortgaged Property");
(c) The terms of the BANA Mortgage Notes and the related Mortgages (each, a
"BANA Mortgage") have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public
recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the BANA
Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the custodian; the substance of any
such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under
the primary insurance policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required
by the related policy, and is reflected on the BANA Mortgage Loan Schedule. No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no
mortgagor of a BANA Mortgage Loan (a "BANA Mortgagor") has been released, in
9
whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by
the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement
has been delivered to the Trustee;
(d) The BANA Mortgage Notes and the BANA Mortgages 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 BANA Mortgage Notes and
the BANA Mortgages, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
BANA Mortgage Notes or the BANA Mortgages 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;
(e) All buildings upon each BANA Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area the related BANA Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant
to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Customary Servicing
Procedures and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the BANA Mortgage
Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been
paid. If the BANA Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard
map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made
available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy
conforms to the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC. The BANA 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
BANA Mortgage to maintain such insurance at mortgagor's cost and expense and to
seek reimbursement therefor from the mortgagor;
(f) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including,

benefits of the security intended to be provided by the BANA Mortgage or the

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and

licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the BANA Mortgaged
Property is located;
(m) Either (A) the BANA Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy, acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the BANA Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the

(aa) Each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy to which any BANA Mortgage Loan
is subject will be issued by an insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which
insures that portion of the BANA Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the
Appraised Value of the BANA Mortgaged Property required by FNMA or FHLMC. All
13
provisions of such Primary Mortgage 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 BANA Mortgage subject to any such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such
insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith at least

80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the BANA Mortgage Loan does not include any

Mortgage is recorded in the name of MERS, immediately prior to the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein, the Seller was the sole owner of record and
holder of the BANA Mortgage Loan. With respect to the BANA Mortgage Loans, the
BANA Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the Seller and the Seller
had good and marketable title thereto, and the Seller had full right to transfer

prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal
amount secured by the BANA Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as

with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (a)
allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the holder of

to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the event of
damage or destruction as long as the BANA Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit

the Trustee or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Trustee of a missing
or defective document in the Mortgage File, as provided in Section 2 of this

the Purchaser for any such costs and damages that are reimbursed by an
Underlying Transferor.
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no rights against
the Seller under this Section 6, except with respect to the preceding paragraph,
if the breach of any representation or warranty also constitutes a breach of a
representation or warranty made by an Underlying Transferor under the related

agreement, but shall instead enforce its rights against such Underlying
Transferor or originator, as applicable.
