out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by
the Seller after the Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan
shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more of its designees; provided,
however, that all funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall
be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or
its designee, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
The sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller's
balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Seller.
SUBSECTION 6.03. DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
The Seller shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee

Loan set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Seller shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee original
documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation, conversion or
extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement
within two (2) weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Seller
shall provide the Purchaser or its designee with a certified true copy of any
such document submitted for recordation within two (2) weeks of its execution,
and shall promptly provide the original of any document submitted for
recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public

recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered to
the Purchaser or its designee within 90 days following the Closing Date (other
than with respect to the Assignments of Mortgage which shall be delivered to
the Purchaser or its designee in blank), and in the event that the Seller does
not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or receipt of written
notification of such failure from the Purchaser, the related Mortgage Loan
shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the

period due to a delay caused by the
10

recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer's

documents have been accepted for recording; provided that, upon request of the

13
17
SUBSECTION 8.02. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING INDIVIDUAL
MORTGAGE LOANS.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to
each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all
material respects;
(b) Payments Current; Status. All payments required to be made up
to, but not including, the Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan
under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and
credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is
delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30
days or more delinquent more than once within the period
falling twelve (12) months prior to the Cut-off Date. The
Mortgage Loan is not, and has not been at any time in the
preceding twelve months, (i) classified, (ii) in nonaccrual
status or (iii) renegotiated due to the financial
deterioration of the Mortgagor;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying
with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such
item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is
not yet due and payable. The Seller 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 under the Mortgage
Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the
Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan
proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by
one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal
and interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified
in any respect, from the date of origination except by a
written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to
protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee and the terms of
which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if
applicable. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any,
to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in
connection with an assumption agreement, which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the
Purchaser or its designee and the terms of which are reflected
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
14
18
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto, and no Mortgagor is now or was, at the time of
origination of the related Mortgage Loan, a debtor in any
state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;
(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by
fire, hazards of extended coverage. If required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan
is covered by a flood insurance policy, meeting the
requirements of the Federal Insurance Administration, as well
as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of
the Servicing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. All
individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the
hazard 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 such
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to
choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance. The
hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full
force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge
of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission
which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the
benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the
validity and binding effect of either including, without
limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other
unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of
any federal, state or local law including, without limitation,
usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer credit protection, fair housing, equal credit
opportunity and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage
Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller
shall maintain in its possession, available for the
Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser
upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements;
15
19
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in
part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from
the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not
waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the
Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any
default resulting from any action or in action by the
Mortgagor;
(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged
Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property
improved by a commercial facility erected thereon.
(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings and improvements on the
Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions,
alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to
the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
(1) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable;
(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of the public record
as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent
mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the
Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically 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 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, enforceable and perfected first lien and first
priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has
full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property
was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a
mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument
creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage (except any such
subordinate loan which was created in connection with the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan details of which are contained in the related Mortgage
File);
16
20
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a
Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties
to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan
and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and
any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and
any other such related agreement have been duly and properly
executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission,
misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any
Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any
appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party
involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller
has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing
File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make
and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth
herein;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been
closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan 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 improvement and as to disbursements of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or
due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each
Mortgage Note, except for the assignments of mortgage which
have been sent for recording, and upon recordation the Seller
will be the owner of record of each Mortgage and the
indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note, and upon the
sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will
retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect
thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or its designee in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the
servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not
assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and
marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and
sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the
sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights
to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except
indirectly for purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set
forth in the Servicing Agreement. After the Closing Date, the
Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the
sale of the
17
21
Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right
to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage
Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and
disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any
and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2)
either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii)
qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal
savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national
bank having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing
business in such state;
(o) LTV. No Conventional Loan has an LTV greater than 95%. The
original LTV of each Conventional Loan was not more than 80%;
(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance and each such title insurance
policy is issued by a title insurer qualified to do business
in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the
first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this
Subsection 8.02, and against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the
Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage
title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance
policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are
the sole insurers of such lender's title insurance policy, and
such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in
full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title
insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage,
including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful
fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or
value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or
realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and
no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
realized by the Seller;
(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event
which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or
the Mortgage Note and 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 which
would
18
22
permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor its
predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or
event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens
or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material
(and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the
lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable
zoning law or regulation;
(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated
by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a
commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar
institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority. The documents, instruments and agreements
submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain
no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the information and statements therein not misleading.
Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with
the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate for each
Mortgage Loan is as set forth on Exhibit J hereto. The
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in
equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest are subject to change if the Mortgage
Loan is an Variable Rate Mortgage Loan due to the adjustments
to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment
Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated
maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty
years from commencement of amortization. There is no negative
amortization with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Each
Convertible Mortgage Loan contains a provision allowing the
Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable
interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage
Note in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note or a
rider to the related Mortgage Note;
(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the 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, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor
on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of,
the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the
holder of the Mortgage
19
23
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to
the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with
the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale
or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable
federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to
bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Standards. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting standards of the Seller (a copy of each of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit L), in effect at the time the
Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage
are on forms acceptable to the Purchaser, in the Purchaser's
sole discretion, as evidenced by the Purchaser's purchase of
the related Mortgage Loans, and, the Seller has not made any
representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the
mortgage instruments used. All Mortgage Loans have full asset
verification;
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Closing Date,
the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable
law. 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 but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made
or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to
in clause (j) above;
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed
of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated
and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
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;
(z) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or
conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor's
credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the
value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other Mortgage
Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to
the Purchaser or its designee. The Seller is in possession of
a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with
20
24
Exhibit A hereto, except for such documents the originals of
which have been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee;
(bb) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with
respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(cc) Assumability. The Mortgage Loan Documents provide that a
related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party
assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements
stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(dd) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions
pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid
with funds deposited in any separate account established by
the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor
does it contain any other similar provisions which may
constitute a "buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a
graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not
have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature;
(ee) RESERVED
(ff) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged
Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth
movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to
affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the
premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good
repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with
respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no
knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;
(gg) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by
the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all
respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects
legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under
the control of, the Seller or the Seller and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All
Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with
state and federal law and the provisions of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid
and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No
escrow deposits or Escrow
21
25
Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been
capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All
Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments to the Monthly Payment, if
the Mortgage Loan is an Variable Rate Mortgage Loan, have been
made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the
terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related
Interest Rate Adjustment Date. With respect to each Variable
Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate adjusts
annually as set forth herein. If, pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the
Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect
to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be
selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller executed and
delivered any and all notices required under applicable law
and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment
adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to
state, federal and local law has been properly paid and
credited;
(hh) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has
occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has
resulted or could result in the exclusion from, denial of, or
defense to coverage under any hazard insurance policy. In
connection with the placement of any such insurance, no
commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be
received by the Seller or by any officer, director, or
employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or
employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of
such insurance; [CONFIRM]
(ii) No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action
or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in
which compliance with any environmental law, rule or
regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any
environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the
Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to
satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or
regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of
said property;
(jj) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the
Mortgage Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser who had no
interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in
any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation
is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the
requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
22
26
(kk) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has received all
disclosure materials required by and the Seller complied with
all applicable law with respect to the making of the Mortgage
Loans;
(ll) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or
rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the
trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(mm) Value of Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of
any circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected
to adversely affect the value or the marketability of any
Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan or to cause the Mortgage
Loan to prepay during any period materially faster or slower
than mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally;
(nn) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or
failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of
facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date
(whether or not known to the Seller on or prior to such date)
which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial
of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage
insurance policy (including, without limitation, any
exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce
the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of
the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether
arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions,
negligence, or fraud of the Seller, the related Mortgagor or
any party involved in the application for such coverage,
including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other
exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under
such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such
coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay
by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or
such insurer's financial inability to pay;
(oo) Escrow Analysis. With respect to each Mortgage, Seller has
within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was
originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the
required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the
amount of such payments so that, assuming all required
payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on
or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any
overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with
RESPA and any other applicable law; and
(pp) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all
material respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing
Practices; provided that, in the event of any breach of the
representation and warranty set forth in this Subsection (pp),
the Seller shall not be required to repurchase any such
Mortgage Loan unless such breach had, and continues to have, a
material and adverse effect on the value of the related
Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.
23
27
SUBSECTION 8.03. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Subsections 8.01 and 8.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note
or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the
related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to
a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other.
The Seller, promptly after discovery of a breach of any representation
or warranty, shall notify the Purchaser of such breach and the details thereof.
Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of (i) notice by the Seller pursuant to
the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) notice by the Purchaser to the
Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all
material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser's option and subject to Subsection 8.04, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price, unless the Seller elects to substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Subsection. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or
warranty set forth in Subsection 8.01, and such breach cannot be cured within
sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller
of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option and
subject to Subsection 8.04, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase
Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set
forth in Subsection 8.02 and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any
such breach within two (2) years of the Closing Date, the Seller may, at the
Seller's option and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its
place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such
substitution shall be effected not later than two (2) years after the Closing
Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or
Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 8.03 shall be
accomplished by either (a) if the Servicing Agreement is in effect, deposit in
the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to
the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom
any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and
being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the
Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the
Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the
Purchaser's instructions.
At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the
Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser or
its designee relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In addition, upon any such
repurchase, all funds maintained in the Escrow Account with respect to
24
28
such Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be transferred to the Seller. In the event of
a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such
reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or
substitution has taken place, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case
of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the
Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that
all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such
substitution by delivering to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03. No substitution will be
made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The
Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment, or in the
event that the Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect remit directly to the
Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions the
Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller.
For the month of substitution, payments to the Purchaser shall include the
Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution,
and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after
application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution).
The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the
Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions
within two (2) Business Days of such substitution.
In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller
shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a
breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set
forth in this Subsection 8.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective
Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection
8.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the
foregoing representations and warranties.
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 8.01 and
8.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as
25
29
specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for
compliance with this Agreement.
SECTION 9. CLOSING.
The closing for the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take
place on the Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, the closing shall be
either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree,
or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.
The closing for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on the Closing Date
shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(a) all of the representations and warranties of the
Seller under this Agreement and under the Servicing
Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, as
specified therein) shall be true and correct as of
the Closing Date and no event shall have occurred
which, with notice or the passage of time, would
constitute a default under this Agreement or an Event
of Default under the Servicing Agreement;
(b) the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser's
attorneys shall have received in escrow, all closing
documents as specified in Section 10 of this
Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and
acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all
signatories other than the Purchaser as required
pursuant to the terms hereof;
(c) the Seller shall have delivered and released to the
Purchaser or its designee all Mortgage Loan Documents
with respect to each Mortgage Loan; and
(d) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall have been complied with.
Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall pay to the
Seller on the Closing Date the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest pursuant
to Section 4 of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the account designated by the Seller.
SECTION 10. CLOSING DOCUMENTS.
The closing documents for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on the

7. a Security Release Certification, in the form of Exhibit E or
Exhibit F, if applicable, hereto executed by any person, as
requested by the Purchaser, if any of the Mortgage Loans have
at any time been subject to any security interest, pledge or
hypothecation for the benefit of such person;
8. a certificate or other evidence of merger or change of name,
signed or stamped by the applicable regulatory authority, if
any, if the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Seller by
merger or acquired or originated by the Seller while
conducting business under a name other than its present name,
if applicable; and
9. the underwriting guidelines of the Seller to be attached
hereto as Exhibit I.
The Seller shall bear the risk of loss of the closing documents until
such time as they are received by the Purchaser or its attorneys.
SECTION 11. COSTS.
The Purchaser shall pay the legal fees and expenses of its attorneys.
All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and
delivery of the Mortgage Loans including recording fees, fees for recording
Assignments of Mortgage, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations,
if applicable, the Seller's attorney's fees, shall be paid by the Seller.
SECTION 12. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE SELLER.
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a federally chartered savings bank, and will obtain and preserve
its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity
and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to
perform its duties under this Agreement.
27
31
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however,
that the successor or surviving Person shall have a tangible net worth of at
least $30,000,000.
SECTION 13. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans
described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of
the execution of this Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed
that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that
an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for
the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to
prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's
failure to deliver (i) each of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise
acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each
Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage
Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this
Agreement, and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in
custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser's (i) right to reject any
Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this
Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (ii) obligation to pay the
Purchase Price plus accrued interest as set forth in Section 4 hereof for the
Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
SECTION 14. NOTICES.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received

date noted on the return receipt).
SECTION 15. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which
prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the
invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement
shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by
this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to develop a
structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the
economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
SECTION 16. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

State of Michigan and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder shall be determined-in accordance with the substantive laws of the
Michigan (without regard to conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent
preempted by Federal law.
SECTION 18. INTENTION OF THE PARTIES.
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing,
and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the
Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to
treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller,
and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans.
29
33
SECTION 19. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT OF
PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted
successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the
Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser. This Agreement
may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser without the prior
consent of the Seller. If the Purchaser assigns all or any of its rights as
Purchaser hereunder, the assignee of the Purchaser will become the "Purchaser"
hereunder to the extent of such assignment, provided that at no time shall
there be more than fifteen (15) persons having the status of "Purchaser"
hereunder. Any assignment by the Purchaser shall be accompanied by the delivery
and execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Assignment and
Assumption Agreement") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

the Purchaser hereunder to said assignee commencing with the first Remittance

3. The original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon. If
in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be
delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior

where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such
Mortgage certified by the Seller to be true and correct will be delivered; if
such Mortgage has been lost or if such public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Purchaser, a photocopy of such Mortgage, certified by such public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage.
4. The originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation
or extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon or
certified copies of such documents if the originals thereof are unavailable.
5. The original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan
endorsed "Pay to the order of ____________________" and signed in the name of
the Seller by an authorized officer. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the

In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the Purchaser or its designee within 90 days following the Closing Date
(other than with respect to the Assignments of Mortgage which shall be
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee in blank), and in the event that the
Seller does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or receipt of
written notification of such failure from the Purchaser, the related Mortgage
Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at
the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 8.03 of the Agreement. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller
cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation
to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a
delay caused by the recording office in the
A-2
38
applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a
recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not
available, an officer's certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller,
confirming that all such documents have been accepted for recording; provided
that, upon request of the Purchaser and delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller
of a schedule of the related Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall reissue and

the related Mortgage Loans.

7. To the best of my knowledge, there is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the

the business, operations, financial condition, properties or
assets of the Seller or in any material impairment of the
right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business
substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on
the part of the Seller or which would draw into question the
validity of the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement
or the mortgage loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or which
would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller
to perform under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement.
8. Each person listed on Exhibit 5 attached hereto who, as an
officer or representative of the Seller, signed the Purchase
Agreement and any other document delivered prior to or on the

or appointed, qualified and acting officer or representative
of the Seller, who holds the office set forth beneath his or

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER/SERVICER
_________________, 1997
D&N Capital Corporation
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
Dear Sirs:
You have requested my opinion, as General Counsel to D&N Bank (the
"Seller"), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the
Seller of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Warranties Agreement by and between the Seller and D&N Capital Corporation
(the "Purchaser"), dated as of __________, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement")
which sale is in the form of whole loans, delivered pursuant to a Purchase
Agreement and serviced pursuant to an Servicing Agreement, dated as of
__________, 1997, by and between the Purchaser and the Seller as Servicer (the
"Servicing Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have
the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.
I have examined the following documents:
1. the Purchase Agreement;
2. the Servicing Agreement;
3. the form of Assignment of Mortgage;
4. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and
5. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed
necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.
To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon
the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Purchase
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. I have assumed the authenticity of all
documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all
documents.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Seller is a federally chartered savings bank duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United
States and is qualified to transact business in, and is in
good standing under, the laws of Michigan.
45
2. The Seller has the power to engage in the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right
to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement and to perform and observe the terms and
conditions of such agreements.
3. The Purchase Agreement and Servicing Agreement have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and are
legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms against the Seller, subject to
bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application
affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application
of the rules of equity, including those respecting the
availability of specific performance, none of which will
materially interfere with the realization of the benefits
provided thereunder or with the Purchaser's ownership of the
Mortgage Loans.
4. The Seller has been duly authorized to allow any of its
officers to execute any and all documents by original
signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and by
original or facsimile signature in order to execute the
endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of
Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the
officer at the Seller executing the endorsements to the
Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the
legal and valid signature of said officer of the Seller.
5. Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body is required for the
execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of or
compliance by the Seller with the Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement and the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement or (ii) any required
consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by
the Seller.
6. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by,
nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the Purchase Agreement
and the Servicing Agreement conflicts or will conflict with or
results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will
constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the
Seller, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is
bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or
order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any
court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the
Seller is subject or by which it is bound.
7. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Seller
which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the
aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the
business, operations, financial condition, properties or
assets of the Seller or in any
D-2
46
material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to
carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any
material liability on the part of the Seller or which would
draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement and
the Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action
taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions
contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair
materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the
terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.
8. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the
manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is sufficient to
fully transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest
of the Seller thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.
9. The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes
have been duly endorsed as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except
for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the
name of the assignee being inserted, and to the best of my
knowledge, with respect to all other states, the Assignments
of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion
of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee
being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of
such other states. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the
delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments
of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed
Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are
sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all
protection available under applicable law against the claims
of any present or future creditors of the Seller, and are
sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage
Notes by the Seller from being enforceable.
This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other
person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or
purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may
rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of its date.
Very truly yours,
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx
