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 VI (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 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 Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The
BANA Mortgage
8
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, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protections, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws, equal
credit opportunity or disclosure laws (inclusive of prepayment charges)
applicable to the origination and servicing of BANA Mortgage Loans have been
complied with;
(g) No BANA
Mortgage has been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in
part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in full which may have been
received prior to the Closing Date), and no BANA Mortgaged Property has been
released from the lien of the related BANA Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor
has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;
(h) The BANA
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the BANA Mortgaged
Property, including all improvements on the BANA Mortgaged Property subject only
to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable, (B) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred
to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the
BANA Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the
BANA Mortgaged Property, (C) if the BANA Mortgaged Property consists of
Cooperative Stock, any lien for amounts due to the cooperative housing
corporation for unpaid assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of
rents or maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the
cooperative housing corporation, and (D) 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 BANA Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or marketability of the related BANA Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the BANA Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a
valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest
on the property described therein and the Seller has the full right to sell and
assign the same to the Purchaser;
(i) The BANA
Mortgage Note and the related BANA Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (B)
general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law;
(j) All
parties to the BANA Mortgage Note and the BANA Mortgage had legal capacity to
enter into the BANA Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
BANA
9
Mortgage
Note and the BANA Mortgage, and the BANA Mortgage Note and the BANA Mortgage
have been duly and properly executed by such parties;
(k) The
proceeds of the BANA Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the
account of the related BANA Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
mortgagee to advance additional funds 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. All costs, fees
and expenses incurred in making or closing the BANA Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the BANA Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled
to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the mortgagee pursuant to the BANA
Mortgage Note or BANA Mortgage;
(l) To the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, all parties which have had any interest in the
BANA Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
(or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were)
in compliance with any and all applicable “doing business” 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 Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the BANA Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to
the exceptions contained in (h) (A), (B), (C) and (D) above) the Seller,
its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the BANA Mortgage in
the original principal amount of the BANA Mortgage Loan, (B) a title search has
been done showing no lien (other than the exceptions contained in (h) (A), (B),
(C) and (D) above) on the BANA Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the BANA
Mortgage or (C) in the case of any BANA Mortgage Loan secured by a BANA
Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally
not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such
jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead received. For each
BANA Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance policy (x) the Seller is the
sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
