(e)
Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority lien on the related Mortgaged Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and liens (including mechanics’ liens) having priority over the first lien 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 related Mortgage Loan and referred to in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan and (iii) other liens and 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.

(k)
No condition exists 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.
(l)
There are no proceedings pending for the total or partial condemnation nor eminent domain proceedings pending affecting any Mortgaged Property.
(m)
Each Mortgage 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 related Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) if generally acceptable in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, an attorney’s opinion of title given by an attorney licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located.

All rate adjustments have been performed in accordance with the material terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications thereof, if any.

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. Each 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. Each Mortgaged Property is covered by Hazard Insurance.
(s)
No Mortgage Note is secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.
(t)
Each Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan in the event that the related Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee thereunder. Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the related 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 judicial foreclosure and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The related Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the related Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to any Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the related Mortgage. In the event a Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, as been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under such deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Mortgagor.

(u)

(z)
No improvements on any Mortgaged Property (upon which value was given) 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.

Each Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD, such that the origination procedures relating to such Mortgage Loan would not prevent the Class 1-A-1A, Class 1-A-1B, Class 2-A-1A, Class 2-A-1B, Class 3-A, Class 4-A, Class A-R and the Class B-1 Certificates from being deemed “mortgage related securities” as such term is defined in Section 3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended from time to time.

(dd)

No Mortgage Loan is deemed a graduated payment mortgage loan, nor does it have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
(ee)
As of the origination date of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is lawfully permitted to be occupied under applicable law.
(ff)
No law relating to servicing, collection, notification practices or origination practices, has been violated in connection with any Mortgage Loan transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws.

All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing each Mortgage Loan and the recording of the related 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 related Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(ii)

(jj)
As to each Mortgage Loan, interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Note on the basis of the number of days provided therein.
(kk)

(ll)
Neither Seller used selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans originated or acquired by such Seller. The Mortgage Loans are representative of the related Seller’s portfolio of adjustable rate mortgage loans.
(mm)
In the event any 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 such Mortgage, and no material fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(nn)
Each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage, the related Assignment and any other related documents required to be delivered with respect to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have been delivered to the Trustee or its designee, all in compliance with the specific requirements of the Pooling and Servicing 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 Mortgage Loans.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Sellers, each Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Certificates. In that connection, each 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 such 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 each Seller is selling, the related Mortgage Loans rather than pledging such Mortgage Loans to secure a loan by the Purchaser to such Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction as a sale by each Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the related 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 each 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 each Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of each 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 each Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which such Seller is merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of such Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans 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, each Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of all of the Purchaser’s rights against such 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 applicable 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Sellers 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.
