Assignee any right, title and interest in, to or under any mortgage loan subject
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement other than the Mortgage Loans.
 
 
 
 
     2.  The Assignor warrants and represents to, and covenants with, BAFC and

          right to transfer the Mortgage Loans free from any and all claims and

          which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or which

          Section 5 of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant

the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee in its books and records, (ii) recognize the
