hours;
(vi) Seller dissolves, merges or consolidates with another entity (unless
(A) it is the surviving party or (B) the entity into which it mergers

structure or financial condition of Seller or that Seller will not
meet any of its obligations under any Transaction pursuant to this
Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties;
(viii)Seller is in default under any other agreement to which it is a party,
provided, however, such a default shall not constitute an Event of
Default if the exercise of such remedies as are available to Seller's
counterparty with respect to such default would not result in a
material adverse change in the business operations or financial
condition of the Seller;
(ix) A final judgment by any competent court in the United States of
America for the payment of money in an amount of at least $25,000 is
rendered against the Seller, and the same remains undischarged or

information provided to it by any other sources believed by it to be generally
reliable, provided that such party reasonably and in good faith believes such
information to be accurate and has taken such steps as may be reasonable in the
circumstances to attempt to verify such information.
14. REMEDIES
(a) If an Event of Default occurs with respect to Seller, the following rights
and remedies are available to Buyer:
(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which
option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is
given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the
Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed
immediately to occur,
(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred
to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,
(A) Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased
Mortgage Loans in such Transactions shall thereupon become
immediately due and payable,
(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price
with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the
aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per
year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and
including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option
to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so
increased, (x) the greater of the Prime Rate or the Pricing Rate for
each such Transaction to (y) the Repurchase Price for such
Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to
subsection (a)(i) of this Section (decreased as of any day by (I) any
amounts actually in the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause (C) of
this subsection, (II) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased
Mortgage Loans applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection
(a)(xii) of this Section, and (III) any amounts applied to the
Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) of this Section),
and
(C) all Income actually received by the Buyer or its designee
(including the Custodian) pursuant to Section 5 shall be applied to
the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price owed by Seller.
(iii) After one Business Day's notice to Seller (which notice need not be
given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which may be
the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section), Buyer may
(A) immediately sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a
public or private sale and at such price or prices Buyer may
reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans
subject to a Transaction hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion
elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage
Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans in an
amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans
against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts
owing by Seller hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of
Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be
18
applied first to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in
connection with Seller's default; second to consequential damages,
including but not limited to costs of cover and/or related hedging
transactions; third to the Repurchase Price; and fourth to any other
outstanding obligation of Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates.
(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell
all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a particular Business Day, or
in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner
because the market for such Purchased Mortgage Loans may not be
liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, the
parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying
Purchased Mortgage Loans does not require a public purchase or sale
and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly,
Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of
liquidating any Purchased Mortgage Loan and nothing contained herein
shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Mortgage Loan on
the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased
Mortgage Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B)
constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. However, in
recognition of the parties' agreement that the Transactions hereunder
have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the
fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and that each Transaction has been entered
into in consideration of the other Transactions, the parties further
agree that Buyer shall use its best efforts to liquidate all
Transactions hereunder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as
quickly as is prudently possible in the reasonable judgment of Buyer.
(v) Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
Seller's obligations under this Agreement, be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without
notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage,
liquidate, and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof, and
collect the payments due with respect to the Collateral or any
portion thereof. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such
receiver.
(vi) Seller agrees that Buyer may obtain an injunction or an order of
specific performance to compel Seller to fulfill its obligations as
set forth in Section 25, if Seller fails or refuses to perform its
obligations as set forth therein.
(vii) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses,
reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence
of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable
legal fees and expenses and reasonable costs incurred in connection
with hedging or covering transactions.
(viii)Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies provided herein,
provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws
(including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, to
the extent that the
19
Uniform Commercial Code is applicable, and the right to offset any
mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement
between Buyer and Seller.
(ix) Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to
the extent provided in subsections (a)(i) and (iii) of this Section,
at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and
remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time-to-time
hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies which Buyer may have.
(x) In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to
proceed against any assets of Seller which may be in the possession
of Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) including the
right to liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds against
monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may
set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans, any Collateral or its proceeds, and all other sums or
obligations owed by Seller to Buyer against all of Seller's
obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a
Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or
otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without
prejudice to Buyer's right to recover any deficiency. Any cash,
proceeds, or property in excess of any amounts due, or which Buyer
reasonably believes may become due, to it from Seller shall be
returned to Seller after satisfaction of all obligations of Seller to
Buyer.
(xi) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior
judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any
defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its
rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller
might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process,
enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, or from
any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial
remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive
to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's
length.
(xii) Buyer and Seller hereby agree that sales of the Purchased Mortgage
Loans shall be deemed to include and permit the sales of Purchased
Mortgaged Loans pursuant to a securities offering.
(xiii)Notwithstanding the foregoing remedies, if the Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default under Section 13(a)(xi)) arises from
a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections
10(b)(iii), (v) or (ix) or in Exhibit V attached hereto with respect
to a Purchased Mortgage Loan, then Seller may elect, subject to
Buyer's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), to cure such default by repurchasing such
Mortgage Loan or substituting for such Mortgage Loan within two (2)
Business Days of such Event of Default, provided, however, that
Seller shall not have the right to make the foregoing election if
such breach causes a default with respect to Mortgage Loans that in
the aggregate represent ten percent (10%) or more of the aggregate
Purchase Price of all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject
20
to then outstanding Transactions. The repurchase price for any such
repurchase shall be the outstanding Repurchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan, as the case may be. Any such substitution shall be performed in
accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement.
(b) If an Event of Default occurs with respect to Buyer, the following rights
and remedies are available to Seller:
(i) Upon tender by Seller of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price
for all such Transactions, Buyer's right, title and interest in all
Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions shall be deemed
transferred to Seller, and Buyer shall deliver or cause to be
transferred all such Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller or its
designee at Buyer's expense.
(ii) If Seller exercises the option referred to in subsection (b)(i) of
this Section and Buyer fails to deliver or cause to be delivered the
Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller or its designee, after one
Business Day's notice to Buyer, Seller may (A) purchase Mortgage
Loans ("Replacement Loans") that are as similar as is reasonably
-----------------
practicable in characteristics, outstanding principal amounts (as a
pool) and interest rate to any Purchased Mortgage Loans that are not
delivered by Buyer to Seller or its designee as required hereunder or
(B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement
Loans, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Loans at a price
therefor on such date, equal to the Market Value of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans.
(iii) Buyer shall be liable to the Seller, and Buyer shall pay to the
Seller on demand, (A) with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans (other
than Additional Loans), for any excess of the price paid (or deemed
paid) by Seller for Replacement Loans therefor over the Repurchase
Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and (B) with respect to
Additional Loans, for the price paid (or deemed paid) by Seller for
the Replacement Loans therefor. In addition, Buyer shall be liable to
Seller for interest on such remaining liability with respect to each
such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Loans calculated on
a 360-day year basis for the actual number of days during the period
from and including the date of such purchase (or deemed purchase)
until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest shall be at the greater of
the Pricing Rate or the Prime Rate.
(iv) Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the amount of all expenses
reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with or as a consequence
of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable
legal expenses and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
covering existing hedging transactions with respect to the Purchased
Mortgage Loans.
(v) Seller shall have all the rights and remedies provided herein,
provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, in
equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller,
including, without limitation, the right to offset any debt or claim.
(vi) Seller may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Seller
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any
time thereafter without notice to Buyer. All rights and remedies
arising under
21
this Agreement as amended from time-to-time hereunder are cumulative
and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Seller may
have.
15. ADDITIONAL CONDITION
Seller shall, on the date of the initial Transaction hereunder and, upon the
request of Buyer, on the date of any subsequent Transaction, cause to be
delivered to Buyer, with reliance thereon permitted as to any Person that
purchases the Purchased Mortgage Loan from Buyer in a repurchase transaction, a
favorable opinion or opinions of counsel with respect to the matters set forth
in Exhibit IV attached hereto.
16. SINGLE AGREEMENT
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into
each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact
that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual
relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other
Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all
of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default
in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in
respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled
to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction
against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder
and (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them
in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration
of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other
Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments,
deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted;
provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each
Purchased Mortgage Loan is identified and unique and nothing in this Agreement
should limit or reduce Buyer's obligation to deliver the Purchased Mortgage
Loans to Seller as and when provided herein.
17. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS
Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party to whom
any written notice or other communication is to be given hereunder, all such
notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in writing and
delivered at the respective addresses set forth in the Confirmation.

understanding between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter it
covers and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties

Purchased Mortgage Loans. By acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller
acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements,
representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
19. NON-ASSIGNABILITY
The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any
Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of
Buyer. Subject to the foregoing,
22
this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in
this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the
parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
20. TERMINABILITY
This Agreement shall terminate upon the written notice from Seller to Buyer to
such effect, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding the clause above,
remain applicable to any Transaction then outstanding. Notwithstanding any such
termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) all of the
representations and warranties hereunder (including those made in Exhibit V) and
the covenant of Seller made in subsection (i) of Section 12 shall each continue
and survive.
21. GOVERNING LAW
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF
LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
22. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION
The parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the parties

available, the parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the parties irrevocably waiving
any objection thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, at either
party's sole option exercisable at any time not later than thirty (30) days
after an action or proceeding has been commenced, the parties agree that the
matter may be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect in the State of New
York and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof within the City, County and State of New
York; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not amend, supplement, or
reform in any regard this Agreement or the terms of any Confirmation, the rights
or obligations of any party hereunder or thereunder, or the enforceability of
any of the terms hereof or thereof. Any arbitration shall be conducted before a
single arbitrator who shall be reasonably familiar with repurchase transactions
and the secondary mortgage market in the City, County, and State of New York.
23. NO WAIVERS, ETC.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy
hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any
other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto. Any such waiver or modification shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

hereunder constitute a "repurchase agreement" and a "securities contract" as
those terms are defined under the relevant provisions of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended.

(a) Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans
hereby, Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans for the
benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or
hypothecate the Purchased Mortgage Loan prior to the related Repurchase Date

of Seller to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall cease, at Seller's
option, upon the payment by Seller to Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor.
Seller shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
servicing standards maintained by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to
mortgage loans similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.
(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including

of Purchased Mortgage Loans (the "Servicing Records"). Seller grants Buyer a
-----------------
security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased
Mortgage Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of the Seller
or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other
obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing
Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the
Custodian) at Buyer's request.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in
its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a
servicing released basis or (ii) terminate the Seller as servicer of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause, in each case without payment of
any termination fee.
(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Mortgage
Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(e) Seller shall cause any sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a letter
agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer's security interest and agreeing that,
upon notice from Buyer (or the Custodian on its behalf) that an Event of Default
has occurred and in continuing hereunder, it shall deposit all Income with
respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the account specified in the third
sentence of Section 5(a).
26. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that in the case of
Transactions in which one of the parties is an "insured depository institution"
as that term is defined in Section 1831(a) of Title 12 of the United States
Code, as amended, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a
Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance Fund or
the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.
24
27. NETTING
If Buyer and Seller are "financial institutions" as now or hereinafter defined
in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code ("Section 4402") and any
------------
rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:
(a) All amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the
other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be
"payment obligations" and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of one
party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be
deemed to be "payment entitlements" within the meaning of Section 4402, and this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a "netting contract" as defined in Section 4402.
(b) The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto
pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be netted as
follows. In the event that either party (the "Defaulting Party") shall fail to
----------------
honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder,
the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party") shall be entitled to reduce the
-------------------
amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting
Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting Party failed
to honor.
28. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Time is of the essence under this agreement and all Transactions and all
references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the
action unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.
(b) Buyer shall be authorized to accept orders and take any other action
affecting any accounts of the Seller in response to instructions given in
writing or orally by telephone or otherwise by any person with apparent
authority to act on behalf of the Seller, and the Seller shall indemnify Buyer,
defend, and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, costs, and expenses of any nature arising out of or in
connection with any action taken by Buyer in response to such instructions
received or reasonably believed to have been received from the Seller.
(c) If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any
Transaction entered into hereunder and the Custodial Agreement, this Agreement
shall prevail.
(d) If there is any conflict between the terms of a Confirmation or a corrected
Confirmation issued by the Buyer and this Agreement, the Confirmation shall
prevail.
(e) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
(f) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT IV
OPINION OF SELLER'S COUNSEL
34
EXHIBIT V
Representations and Warranties
Regarding Mortgage Loans.
The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan sold in a Transaction hereunder, as of the related Purchase
Date:
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage
---------------------------
Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(b) Payments Current Within 59 Days. The Mortgage Loan (i) together with the
-------------------------------
other Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions, would not cause the
30+ Delinquency Percentage to exceed 3%, and (ii) is not more than 59 days
Delinquent;
(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. 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 greater, 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, except
by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect
the interests of Buyer and which has been delivered to Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian). The substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related
primary mortgage guarantee policy (a "PMI Policy") and the title insurer,
to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in
part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the
issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is included in the
Mortgage File delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian)
and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
35
(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, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
(f) Insurance Policies in Effect. The fire and casualty insurance policy
----------------------------
covering the Mortgaged Property (1) affords (and will afford) sufficient
insurance against fire and such other risks as are usually insured against
in the broad form of extended coverage insurance from time to time
available, as well as insurance against flood hazards if the Mortgaged
Property is an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards; (2) is a standard policy of insurance for
the locale where the Mortgaged Property is located, is in full force and
effect, and the amount of the insurance is in the amount of the full
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis or
the unpaid balance of the Mortgage Loans, whichever is less; (3) names (and
will name) the present owner of the Mortgaged Property as the insured; and
(4) contains a standard mortgagee loss payable clause in favor of Seller.
All individual insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loan are the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer and contain a standard mortgage
clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns, as Mortgagee. All
premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance policies at the Mortgagor's cost
and 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 cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(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, equal credit
opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing
of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, and Seller shall maintain in
its possession, available for Buyer's inspection, and shall deliver to
Buyer upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;
(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;
(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located
---------------------------------------
in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of one
or more parcels of real property with a detached single family residence
erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual
condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a
planned unit development and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a
manufactured dwelling which is not permanently affixed to real property.
No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes;
36
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and
--------------------------
enforceable first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including
all buildings 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 special 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 mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or to otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage
Loan or (ii) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the
Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;
(3) in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is a condominium or an
individual unit in a planned unit development, liens for common
charges permitted by statute;
(4) in the case where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a second mortgage
lien on the Mortgaged Property (and represented on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule as such), the lien of the First Mortgage; and
(5) 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 and enforceable first or second lien and first or second priority
security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to
pledge and assign the same to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian).
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are
------------------------------
genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditor's generally, and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
37
Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such
parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who is a party to the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage in an individual capacity, and not in the capacity of
a trustee or otherwise;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. 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. Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage
---------
Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged except as provided in
this Agreement, and Seller has good and marketable title thereto, and has
full right to pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee
(including the Custodian) 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;
(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) organized
under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such
state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks
having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such
state;
(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has a Loan-to-Value Ratio of more than 90%. The
---
Mortgage Loan, together with the other Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to
Transactions, does not have a weighted average cumulative Loan-to-Value
Ratio in excess of 80%;
(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA mortgage title
---------------
insurance policy or such other form of policy acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC,
issued by and constituting the valid and binding obligation of a title
insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly
originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans for
sale to prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage
loans such as the Mortgage Loans and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its
successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in
the case of a First Mortgage Loan secured by a First Mortgage and the
second priority lien of the Mortgage in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured
by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Seller is the sole named insured of
such mortgage title insurance policy, the assignment to Buyer or the
Custodian as assignee of Buyer of Seller's interest in such mortgage title
insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to the
insurer or the same has been obtained, and such mortgage title insurance
policy is in full
38
force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the
benefit of Buyer upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No claims have been made under such mortgage title
insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the
coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;
(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of
-----------
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, other than the failure to make, prior to expiration
of the applicable grace period, the monthly payment due immediately prior
to the related Purchase Date if such Purchase Date occurs prior to the
expiration of such grace period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors
have waived any default, breach, violation or event of 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 the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage except those that are stated in
the title insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively
insured against by such title insurance policy;
(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 except those that are stated in the title
insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured
against by such title insurance policy. No improvement located on or being
part of the mortgaged property is in violation of any applicable zoning law
or regulation;
(t) Origination. The Mortgage Loan was originated either by (x) Seller or (y)
-----------
another mortgage originator that is, if required by applicable law,
licensed, 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.
(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. 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;
39
(v) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Purchase Date the
-----------------------------------
Mortgaged Property is capable of being 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. Either that
the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan
that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor's
primary residence or second home or the Mortgaged Property is capable of
being occupied pursuant to terms that approximate current standard market
rental terms and rates;
(w) 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 (j) above;
(x) Deeds of Trust. In the event the 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 the Mortgage,
and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Buyer to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Mortgagor;
(y) Acceptable Investment. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or
---------------------
conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be
expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage
Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage
Loan;
(z) Purchase of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage File and any other documents
------------------------------
required by Buyer to be delivered for the Mortgage Loan by Seller under
this Agreement have been delivered to the Custodian. Seller is in
possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File except for such
documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian). Each of the documents and instruments
included in the Mortgage File is duly executed and in due and proper form
and each such document or instrument is in a form generally acceptable to
prudent institutional mortgage lenders that regularly originate and
purchase mortgage loans;
(aa) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is a
--------------------------------------
condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimus
planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project would materially meet FNMA eligibility requirements for sale to
FNMA or is located in a condominium or planned unit development project
which has received FNMA project approval and the representations and
warranties required by FNMA with respect to such condominium or planned
unit development have been made and remain true and correct in all
respects;
(bb) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The assignment of Mortgage is in recordable
--------------------------
form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Mortgaged Property is located;
40
(cc) Due on Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the
-----------
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred
without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee thereunder;
(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 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 currently in effect 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) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made prior to the
--------------------------------
Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the
Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as
having first or second lien priority, as applicable, by a title insurance
policy or an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(ff) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. 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;
(gg) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The
----------------------------------------------------------------
origination and collection practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan
have been in all respects in accordance with industry custom and practice,
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
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. If an escrow of funds has been established, it 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 payments or
other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All mortgage interest rate adjustments have
been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of
the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to
state and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(hh) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to the aggregate
---------------------------------
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans on the related Purchase
Date, no more than 50% of the Mortgage Notes contain a provision allowing
the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage
41
Note from an adjustable interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest
rate Mortgage Note for the remaining term thereof all in accordance with
the terms of a rider to the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) Appraisal. The Servicing Records contains an appraisal of the related
---------
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator of
the Mortgage Loan, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged
Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, other than as an
employee of the lender, 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;
(jj) Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller,
---------------------------------
