ARTICLE II
SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
Section 2.01. Sale of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Mortgage Loans. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Seller hereby transfers to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all of its right, title and interest existing now or in the future
in,
(1) each Mortgage Loan, including its Asset Balance (including all
Additional Balances), the related Mortgage File, all property that
secures the Mortgage Loan, and all collections received on it after the
Cut-off Date (excluding payments due by the Cut-off Date);
(2) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that is acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure;
(3) the Seller's rights under the hazard insurance policies;
(4) all rights under any guaranty executed in connection with a
Mortgage Loan;
(5) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust for the
benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer; and
(6) all proceeds of the foregoing.
(b) By the sale of the Mortgage Loan and its Additional Balances, the
Seller has sold to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser has purchased from the
Seller, each future draw of new borrowing under the related Credit Line
Agreement. The Purchaser shall pay the Seller for each Additional Balance in
cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Additional Balance as
it arises. The Trust, the Seller, and the Purchaser may agree to a netting
arrangement in connection with this transaction, when appropriate, rather than
actually moving cash.
Section 2.02. Obligations of Seller Upon Sale.
In connection with any transfer pursuant to Section 2.01, the Seller
further agrees, at its own expense:
(a) to deliver to the Purchaser by the Closing Date a Mortgage Loan
Schedule containing an accurate list of all Mortgage Loans, specifying for
each Mortgage Loan, among other things, its account number and its Cut-off
Date Asset Balance; and
(b) to indicate in its books and records that the Mortgage Loans have
been sold to the Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser, pursuant to
this Agreement by the Closing Date for the Mortgage Loans.

The Mortgage Loan Schedule is Exhibit A to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and shall also be attached as Schedule I to this Agreement and is
hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
The Seller agrees to perfect and protect the Purchaser's interest in each
Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC-1
Financing Statement with the Secretary of State in the State of New York
describing the Mortgage Loans and naming the Seller as debtor and the
Purchaser as secured party and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been
assigned to the Trust and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC-1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Seller. The Financing Statement shall be filed by the
Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that a
purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the collateral covered by the
Financing Statement from the debtor will violate the rights of the secured
party and its assignee.
The Purchaser agrees to perfect and protect the Trust's interest in each
Mortgage Loan and its proceeds by preparing, executing, and filing a UCC-1
Financing Statement with the Secretary of State in the State of Delaware
describing the Mortgage Loans and naming the Purchaser as debtor and the Trust
as secured party (and indicating that the Mortgage Loans have been pledged to
the Indenture Trustee) and all necessary Continuation Statements and any
additional UCC-1 Financing Statements due to a change in the name or the state
of incorporation of the Purchaser. The Financing Statement shall be filed by
the Closing Date. This Financing Statement will state in bold-faced type that
a purchase of the Mortgage Loans included in the collateral covered by the
Financing Statement from the debtor will violate the rights of the secured
party and its assignee.
In connection with any transfer by the Seller, the Seller shall deliver
to the order of the Purchaser the following documents for each Mortgage Loan
(the "Related Documentation"):
(1) the original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank or, if the original
Mortgage Note has been lost or destroyed and not replaced, an original
lost note affidavit from the Seller stating that the original Mortgage
Note was lost, misplaced, or destroyed, together with a copy of the
related Mortgage Note;
(2) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System, an
original assignment of mortgage in blank in recordable form;
(3) the original recorded mortgage with evidence of recording on it
(noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language
indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a
MOM Loan) or, if the original recorded mortgage with evidence of
recording on it cannot be delivered by the Closing Date because of a
delay caused by the public recording office where the original Mortgage
has been delivered for recordation or because the original Mortgage has
been lost, the
3
Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an accurate copy of the
mortgage, together with (i) when the delay is caused by the public
recording office, an Officer's Certificate of the Seller or the Purchaser
stating that the original mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate
public recording official or (ii) when the original mortgage has been
lost, a certificate by the appropriate county recording office where the
mortgage is recorded;
(4) any original intervening assignments needed for a complete chain
of title to the Trust with evidence of recording on them, or, if any
original intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable
recording office or has been lost, an accurate copy of it, together with
(i) when the delay is caused by the public recording office, an Officer's
Certificate of the Seller or the Purchaser stating that the original
intervening assignment has been dispatched to the appropriate public
recording official for recordation or (ii) when the original intervening
assignment has been lost, a certificate by the appropriate county
recording office where the mortgage is recorded;
(5) a title policy for each Mortgage Loan with a Credit Limit in
excess of $100,000;
(6) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(7) the original of each assumption, modification, consolidation, or
substitution agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan; and
(8) any security agreement, chattel mortgage, or equivalent
instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage.
The Related Documentation will be delivered:
(i) no later than the Closing Date, with respect to no less than 50%
of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group,
(ii) no later than the twentieth day after the Closing Date, with
respect to no less than 40% of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group in
addition to those delivered on the Closing Date, and
(iii) within thirty days following the Closing Date, with respect to
the remaining Mortgage Loans.
The Seller confirms to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date, it has
caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage Loans
maintained by the Seller to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate
that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser, and sold by the
Purchaser to the Trust, and Granted by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee, and
that a purchase of those Mortgage Loans from the Seller or the Purchaser will
4
violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party with respect to those
Mortgage Loans. By the applicable date of substitution, the Seller shall cause
the portions of the Electronic Ledgers relating to the relevant Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, to be clearly and unambiguously
marked, and shall make appropriate entries in its general accounting records,
to indicate that those Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust at
the direction of the Purchaser and that they have been Granted by the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee, and that a purchase of the Mortgage Loans from the
Seller or the Purchaser will violate the rights of the Trust, as secured party
with respect to those Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser accepts all right, title, and interest of the Seller
existing now or in the future in the Mortgage Loans and other property
transferred to it pursuant to this Section.
Notwithstanding the characterization of the Notes as debt for federal,
state, and local income and franchise tax purposes, the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans is a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all the Seller's
interest in the Mortgage Loans and other property described above. However, if
the transfer were to be characterized as a transfer for security and not as a
sale, then the Seller hereby Grants to the Purchaser a Security Interest in
all of the Seller's right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans and other
property described above, whether existing now or in the future, to secure all
of the Seller's obligations under this Agreement; and this Agreement shall
constitute a Security Agreement under applicable law.
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 transfer to the Seller
on the Closing Date the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans provided in the
Adoption Annex, attached as Annex 1 to this Agreement (the "Adoption Annex").

the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or
cure period, would constitute a default under any Mortgage Note or
Mortgage Loan has occurred and been waived. As of the Closing Date (or,
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable
date of substitution) no modifications to the Mortgage Notes and Mortgage
Loans have been made and not disclosed.
(37) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution) each
Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with the Sponsor's
underwriting guidelines and the Sponsor had no knowledge of any fact that
would have caused a reasonable originator of mortgage loans to conclude
on the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan that each such Mortgage
Loan would not be paid in full when due.
13
(38) To the best knowledge of the Seller at the time of origination
of each Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property was in violation of any applicable zoning and
subdivision laws or ordinances.
(39) As of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable date of substitution) any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than
five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(40) Based on the drawn balances of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage
Loans had the characteristics set out in the Adoption Annex for each Loan
Group in respect of the following: weighted average Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio; range of Combined Loan-to-Value Ratios; percentage
of primary residences; weighted average FICO score; range of FICO scores;
Weighted Average Net Loan Rate; range of net Loan Rates; weighted average
original stated term to maturity; range of original term to maturity;
range of remaining term to maturity; average drawn balance; weighted
average utilization ratio; percentage of the Mortgage Loans which have
their respective Mortgaged Properties located in the top five states,
measured by aggregate drawn balances.
(41) Any Mortgage Loan that has been modified in any manner has been
so modified in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Master
Servicer and in a manner that was permitted by the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture, and any other Transaction Document.
(42) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by an entity
that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of Section
3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(43) At the time each Mortgage Loan was originated, the Sponsor was,
and the Sponsor is an approved seller of conventional mortgage loans for
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act.
(44) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable,
in an amount at least equal to the principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to issue
the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage
Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force, and each such
policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and is in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and
Xxxxxxx Mac, which policy insures the Sponsor
14
and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as
to the first priority lien, of the Mortgage subject to the exceptions in
paragraph (7) above.
(45) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or,
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable
date of substitution) the improvements on each Mortgaged Property are
covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally
acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and
coverage for such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount that is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing
the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of
the policy will be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the mortgagee
from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for
the condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and all
flood policies referred to in item (46) below contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Sponsor or the original mortgagee, and its
successors in interest, as mortgagee, and the Sponsor has received no
notice that any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance, including flood insurance, at the Mortgagor's expense, and
upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's expense
and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(46) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to the Mortgaged Property with a
generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not less
than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage
or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of
insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973.
(47) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the valid and legally binding obligation of its maker,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law, except
that (a) its enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership, and other similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and
injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought. To the
15
best of the Sponsor's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by such parties.
(48) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(49) To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, all of the improvements
that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of
the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach on the Mortgaged Property.
(50) To the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, all inspections,
licenses, and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to
all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the
use and occupancy of the same, including certificates of occupancy and
fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless their lack would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
(51) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
that render the rights and remedies of its holder adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by it, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(52) Before the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an
appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Sponsor, who had no interest, direct or
indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan secured by the
Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not affected by the
approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.
(53) Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and
(B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the day
that precedes by one month the Due Period of the first installment of
principal and interest and taxes and insurance payments, the Sponsor has
not advanced funds, or induced, solicited, or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.
(54) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or,
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable
date of substitution) no
16
foreclosure proceedings are pending against the Mortgaged Property and
the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding.
(55) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or,
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable
date of substitution) there is no homestead exemption available and
enforceable that materially interferes with the right to sell the related
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
related Mortgage.
(56) No borrower was required to purchase any single premium credit
insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or
health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of obtaining the extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid
single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, disability, accident,
unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance) in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were
used to purchase debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination
of, or as a condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(57) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform
in all material respects to their descriptions in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(58) As of the Closing Date, no Mortgaged Property has been damaged
by the hurricanes that struck the southeastern United States in August
and September of 2004 in a manner that materially affects the value of
the Mortgaged Property. Any damage to a Mortgaged Property occurring
after the Closing Date as a result of the hurricanes referred to in the
preceding sentence or any other hurricane, tornado, or casualty shall not
result in a breach of this representation and warranty.
(59) No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994.
(60) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 and
before March 7, 2003 is secured by Mortgaged Property located in the
State of Georgia.
(61) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or,
with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable
date of substitution) no Mortgage Loan is classified as (1) a "high cost"
loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (2) a
"high cost," "threshold," "covered," "predatory," or similar loan under
any other applicable state, federal, or local law that applies to
mortgage loans (or a similar classified loan using different terminology
under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal
liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates,
points, or fees).
17
(62) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single
premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a
condition to closing, the Mortgage Loan.
(63) No subprime Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
2002 will impose a prepayment premium after the third anniversary of the
Mortgage Loan. No subprime Mortgage Loan originated before October 1,
2002, and no non-subprime Mortgage Loan, will impose a prepayment penalty
after the fifth anniversary of the Mortgage Loan.
(64) The servicer for each Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, 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, on a monthly basis.
(65) All of the Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group specified in the
Adoption Annex conform to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac maximum principal
balance (by credit limit) guidelines.
(b) If the substance of any representation or warranty under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or in this Section made to the best of the Seller's
knowledge or as to which the Seller has no knowledge is inaccurate and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the interest of the Purchaser or
its assignee in the related Mortgage Loan, then, notwithstanding that the
Seller did not know the substance of the representation and warranty was
inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, the inaccuracy
shall be a breach of the applicable representation or warranty and the Seller
shall cure the breach, repurchase the Mortgage Loan, or substitute for the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) The representations and warranties in this Section shall survive the
transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser. The sole
remedy of the Purchaser, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
Noteholders, and the Credit Enhancer against the Seller for the breach of a
representation or warranty is the Seller's obligation to accept a transfer of
a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing and to
make any required deposit in the Collection Account or to substitute an
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller, as Master Servicer, in
its sole discretion, may purchase for its own account from the Trust any
Mortgage Loan that is 151 days or more delinquent. The price for any Mortgage
Loan purchased shall be calculated in the same manner as in Section 3.06 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall be deposited in the Collection
Account. When it receives a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form
of Exhibit D to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust shall release to
the purchaser of the
18
Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver any
instruments of transfer prepared by the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan,
without recourse, necessary to vest in the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant to this Agreement, and the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trust's interest in the Mortgage Loan
and all security and documents. This assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of the Mortgage Loan shall then
own the Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further
obligation to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Transferor, the Credit Enhancer, or the Noteholders with respect to it.
(e) A breach of any one of the representations in Sections 3.02(a)(59) to
(65) will be considered to materially adversely affect the interests of the
Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer.
