make the Mortgage Files available to the
Purchaser for examination at the
Seller's offices. Such examination may be
made by the Purchaser or its designee,
at its expense, at any reasonable time
before the related Closing Date. Such
underwriting by the Purchaser or its
designee shall not impair or diminish the
rights of the Purchaser or any of its
successors under this Agreement with
respect to a breach of the representations
and warranties contained in this
Agreement. The fact that the Purchaser or
its designee has conducted or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files
shall not affect the Purchaser's or any of
its successors' rights to demand
repurchase or other relief or remedy
provided for in this Agreement.
SECTION 6. DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
Subsection 6.01 Possession of Mortgage Files.
The contents of each Mortgage File required to be retained by
the
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement and thus not
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee
are and shall be held in trust by the
Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser
as the owner thereof. The Servicer
shall be permitted to maintain the Mortgage
Files in imaged, rather than
physical, form consistent with the
requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The Servicer's possession of any portion of
each such Mortgage File is at the
will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose
of facilitating servicing of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement,
and such retention and possession by
the Servicer shall be in a custodial
capacity only. The ownership of each
Mortgage Note, each Mortgage and the
contents of each Mortgage File is vested in
15
<PAGE>
the Purchaser and the ownership of all
records and documents with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which
come into the possession of the
Servicer shall immediately vest in the
Purchaser and shall be retained and
maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at
the will of the Purchaser in such
custodial capacity only. The Mortgage File
retained by the Servicer with respect
to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Agreement shall be appropriately
identified in the Servicer's computer
system to reflect clearly the ownership of
such related Mortgage Loan by the
Purchaser. The Servicer shall release from its
custody the contents of any Mortgage File
retained by it only in accordance with
this Agreement, except when such release is
required in connection with a
repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Subsection 7.03 of this
Agreement or if required under applicable
law or court order. The Servicer shall
deliver to the Purchaser physical copies of
any documents in a Mortgage File
reasonably requested by the Purchaser
within five (5) Business Days after the
date of such request at the expense of the
Purchaser.
Subsection 6.02 Books and Records.
All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not
limited
to, all funds received by the Servicer
after the Cut-off Date on or in
connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided
in Section 2 shall be vested in the
Purchaser, subject to this Agreement;
provided, however, that all such funds
received on or in connection with a
Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2 shall
be received and held by the Servicer in
trust for the benefit of the Purchaser
as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
As more fully set forth in Section 20, it is the express intention
of
the parties that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans
by the Seller and not a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the
sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be
reflected as a purchase on the Purchaser's
business records, tax returns and
financial statements, and as a sale of
assets on the Seller's business records,
tax returns and financial statements.
Subsection 6.03 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall deliver
and
release to the Purchaser, its designee or
the Custodian, (a) at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the related Closing
Date (or such later date as the
Purchaser may reasonably request), the
original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank
and the original Assignment of Mortgage
assigned in blank and (b) the other
Mortgage Loan Documents no later than sixty
(60) days following the related
Closing Date, subject to the following
paragraph. All documents shall be
original documents or, in the case of
Mortgage Loan Documents delivered for
recording, either the original recorded
documents or clerk-certified copies.
16
<PAGE>
In the event that such original or copy of any Mortgage Loan
Document
is not so delivered to the Purchaser or its
designee within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the related Closing
Date, and in the event that the Seller
does not cure such failure within sixty
(60) days after 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 a
price and in the manner specified in
Subsection 7.03. The foregoing repurchase
obligation shall not apply in the event the
Seller cannot cause the Servicer to
deliver such original or clerk-certified
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 applicable
jurisdiction; provided that the Seller
shall cause the Servicer instead to
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
Servicer, confirming that such document has
been accepted for recording and that
the Servicer shall immediately deliver such
document upon receipt; and, provided
further, that if the Seller cannot cause
the Servicer to deliver such original
or clerk-certified copy of any document
submitted for recordation to the
appropriate public recording office within
the specified time for any reason
within one hundred eighty (180) days after
receipt of written notification of
such failure from the Purchaser, the Seller
shall repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan at the price and in the
manner specified in Subsection 7.03.
To the extent received by it, the Servicer shall promptly forward
to
the Purchaser, or its designee, original
documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of
any Mortgage Loan entered into in
accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS; REMEDIES
FOR
BREACH.
Subsection 7.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding
Individual
Mortgage Loans.
The Seller and, solely if specified below, the Servicer, hereby
represent and warrant to the Purchaser
that, as to each Mortgage Loan included
in the related Mortgage Loan Package, as of
the related Closing Date or such
other date specified herein:
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
annexed to the related Acknowledgment and Conveyance Agreement and
the
related Mortgage Loan Documents is true, correct and complete in
all
material respects.
(b) There are no defaults by the Seller, the Servicer or any
prior
originator in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all
taxes,
ground rents, governmental assessments, insurance premiums,
leasehold
payments, water, sewer and municipal charges which previously
became
due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established
in
an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which
remains
unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and
payable.
(c) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
written
instruments which have been recorded in the applicable public
recording
office required by law
or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of
the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Purchaser;
the
substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been
approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, if
any, by the title insurer, to the extent required by the
related
policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No
other instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in
part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by
the
insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, by
the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which
assumption agreement is a part of the Mortgage File and is
reflected on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
17
<PAGE>
(d) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are 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 and 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; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or
federal
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan
was
originated.
(e) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements
upon
the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer generally
acceptable
to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and prudent mortgage lending
institutions
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other
hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae Guides and Freddie
Mac
Guide as well as all additional requirements set forth herein,
pursuant
to an insurance policy conforming to the requirements of
Customary
Servicing Procedures and providing coverage in an amount equal to
the
lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property
or
(ii) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan.
If
the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under
the
coverage afforded by a blanket policy. All such insurance policies
are
in full force and
effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns
as
mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If the
Mortgaged
Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or
flood
insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been
made
available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of
the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in
effect
which policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac.
The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all
such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(f) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real
estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans have been
complied
with; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of
such
compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall
make
such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer's office

(g) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part (other than as to Principal
Prepayments
in full which may have been received on or after the related
Cut-off
Date and prior to the related Closing Date), 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
satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or
release.
Neither the Seller nor the Servicer has 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, and neither
the
Seller nor the Servicer has waived any default resulting from
any
action or inaction by the Mortgagor.
(h) The Mortgage is a valid, existing, perfected and
enforceable
first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on
the
Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all adverse claims, liens
and
encumbrances having priority over the lien of the Mortgage,
subject
only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and
restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as
of
the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions
generally
and either (A) specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy, if any, delivered to the originator of the
Mortgage
Loan or (B) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of
the
Mortgaged Property and (iii) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate
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, existing
and
enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on
the
property described therein and the Seller has the full right to
sell
and assign the same to the Purchaser. With respect to any
Cooperative
Loan, the Security Agreement is a valid, subsisting and
enforceable
first priority security interest on the related Cooperative
Shares
securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the
related
residential Cooperative Corporation for unpaid assessments
representing
the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related residential
Cooperative
Corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage, current and
future
real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and
other
assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b)
other
matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do
not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest
intended to be
provided by such Security Agreement.
(i) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and, in the case of
a
Cooperative Loan, the related Security Agreement, are original
and
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the
maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its
terms
except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency,
liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar
laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and
(ii)
general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in
a
proceeding in equity or at law and the Seller has taken all
action
necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the
Purchaser.

<PAGE>
(j) All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and, in the
case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Security Agreement, had
the
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage 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.
Either the Mortgagor is a natural person or the related co-borrower
or
guarantor is a natural person.
(k) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed
to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the
Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and
all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
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 have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due
to
the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(l) The Seller and all other 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) in compliance with any and all
applicable
"doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
(m) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, (i) the Mortgage Loan
is
covered by an ALTA or CLTA lender's title insurance policy,
acceptable
to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable
to
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
(subject
to the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (ii) and (iii) above)
the
Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of
the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan
and,
with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss
by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting
from
the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the
Mortgage
Interest Rate or Monthly Payment, (ii) with respect to certain
Refinanced Mortgage Loans, a title search has been done showing no
lien
(other than the exceptions contained in (h)(i), (ii) or (iii)
above) on
the related Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the Mortgage
or
(iii) in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged
Property
located in a jurisdiction where title insurance policies are
generally
not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily
rendered
in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead
received.
For each Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance policy, (i)
the
Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole insureds of
such
lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title
insurance
policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and
effect
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and
its
assigns without any further act and (ii) no claims have been made
under
such lender's title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done,
by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of
such
lender's title insurance policy.

(n) Other than Mortgage Loans delinquent less than thirty (30)
days as of the related Cut-off Date (so long as delinquent
Mortgage
Loans are to be included in the related Mortgage Loan Package as
agreed
to by the parties pursuant to the related Purchase Price and
Terms
Agreement), 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, would constitute a default,
breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither the Seller
nor
the Servicer has waived any default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration.
(o) There are no, and, as of the related Closing Date, neither
the
Seller nor the Servicer has received any notice of any, mechanics'
or
similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or material (and
no
rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien)
affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(p) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the related 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.
(q) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a commercial bank or
similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by
a
federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the
Secretary
of HUD.
(r) Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans,
principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60)
days
after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage
Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule have an
original
term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with
interest
payable in arrears on the first day of the month. As to each
Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loan, on each applicable Adjustment Date, the
Mortgage
Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus
the
applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down as provided in the
Mortgage
Note; provided, however, that the Mortgage Interest Rate will
not
increase or decrease by more than the Initial Rate Cap on the
first
Adjustment Date or the Periodic Rate Cap on any subsequent
Adjustment
Date, and will in no event exceed the Lifetime Rate Cap. Each
Mortgage
Note evidencing a Mortgage Loan that is not both an Adjustable
Rate
Mortgage Loan and a Balloon Mortgage Loan requires a Monthly
Payment
which is sufficient to amortize the original principal balance
fully
over the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. Each Mortgage Note evidencing an
Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loan that is not a Balloon Mortgage Loan requires
a
Monthly Payment which is sufficient (i) during the period prior to
the
first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to amortize the
original principal balance fully over the original term thereof and
to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during
the
period following each Adjustment Date, to amortize the
outstanding
principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over
the
then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at
the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. No Mortgage Note evidencing an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization.
Interest
on the Mortgage Note is calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise indicated on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan is a Convertible
Mortgage
Loan.
21
<PAGE>
(s) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller's
knowledge,
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged
Property and such property is in good repair and 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.
(t) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain 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. To the
best
of the Seller's knowledge, following the date of origination of
the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has not been subject to
any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor
has
not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is
no
homestead or other exemption or right available to the Mortgagor or
any
other person 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.
(u) The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
(v) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the
Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable
security
agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in (h) above.
(w) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property, in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac,
and such appraisal complies with the requirements of FIRREA and, to
the
extent required in the Underwriting Guidelines with respect to
mortgage
loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan, was made and signed,
prior
to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a
Qualified
Appraiser.
(x) 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
the
Purchaser to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor.
22
<PAGE>
(y) 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, nor does it contain any "buydown"
provision which is currently in effect.
(z) 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.
(aa) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials
required
by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of
the
same type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required
by
applicable law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinanced Mortgage Loan
and
has acknowledged receipt of such materials to the extent required
by
applicable law and such documents will remain in the Mortgage
File.
(bb) Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of
80%, if any, will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy,
issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac at
the
time of origination, which insures that portion of the Mortgage
Loan in
excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property
as required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. All
provisions of
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being
complied
with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums
due
thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such
Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith at least until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan
is
reduced to less than 80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the
Mortgage
Loan does not include any such insurance premium. No Mortgage
Loan
requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the
Purchaser.
(cc) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, (i)
the
Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law, (ii)
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, have been made or obtained
from
the appropriate authorities and (iii) no improvement located on or
part
of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any zoning law or
regulation.
(dd) 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.
(ee) All payments required to be made prior to the related
Cut-off
Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note
have
been made, the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored, other
than
Mortgage Loans delinquent less than thirty (30) days as of the
related
Cut-off Date (so long as delinquent Mortgage Loans are to be
included
in the related Mortgage Loan Package as agreed to by the
parties
pursuant to the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement), there
are
no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan and
no
Mortgage Loan has been thirty (30) days or more delinquent in
the
twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the related Cut-off
Date.
23
<PAGE>
(ff) None of the Seller, the Servicer or any prior originator
or
servicer has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance from any party other than the Mortgagor,
directly
or indirectly, for the payment of any amount due under the
Mortgage
Loan.
(gg) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in
possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents
which
have been delivered to the Purchaser or which have been submitted
for
recording and not yet returned.
(hh) Immediately prior to the payment of the related Purchase
Price, the Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage
Loans
and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not
assigned
or pledged by the Seller and the Seller had good and marketable
title
thereto, and the Seller had full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser free and clear of any
encumbrance,
participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security
interest and had full right and authority subject to no interest
or
participation in, or agreement with any other party to sell or
otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans. Following the sale of
the
Mortgage Loans, 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 monitor, possess and control the Mortgage Loan except
in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan by the Servicer
as
set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date,
neither
the Seller nor the Servicer will have any right to modify or alter
the
terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loans and neither the Seller nor
the
Servicer will have any obligation or right to repurchase the
Mortgage
Loans, except as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed
to
by the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser.
(ii) Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off 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 lien priority by a title insurance policy,
an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated
interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae
and
Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed
the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
(jj) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination
with
exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner, which
exceptions
will have no material adverse effects on the Purchaser.

<PAGE>
(kk) With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative
Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate,
the
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the
related
Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real
property
with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two-
to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, or an
individual unit in a planned unit development; provided, however,
that
any condominium project or planned unit development generally
conforms
with the Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings (or
underlying Cooperative Property, in the case of a Cooperative
Loan),
and except as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
no
residence or dwelling is a mobile home or manufactured dwelling. As
of
the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was
used
for commercial purposes and, to the Seller's knowledge, since the
date
of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used
for
commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which
contain
a home office shall not be considered as being used for
commercial
purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered
for
commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw
materials
other than those
commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or
household purposes.
(ll) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a
planned
unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit
development)
such condominium or planned unit development project meets Fannie
Mae
or Freddie Mac eligibility requirements for sale to Fannie Mae
or
Freddie Mac, as the case may be, or is located in a condominium
or
planned unit development project which has received Fannie Mae
or
Freddie Mac project approval or as to which Fannie Mae's and
Freddie
Mac's eligibility requirements have been waived.
(mm) The Seller used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting
the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first lien,
residential
mortgage loans owned by it which were available for inclusion in
the
Mortgage Loans.
(nn) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(oo) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit
has
been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee in place of the
related
Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage Note is no longer in
existence.
Each such lost note affidavit is substantially in the form
attached
hereto as Exhibit 5.
(pp) No fraud was committed by the Seller or the Servicer or,
to
the Seller's or the Servicer's knowledge, any other person in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
(qq) The origination practices used by the Seller and the
collection and servicing practices used by the Servicer with
respect to
each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry and
the
collection and servicing practices used by the Servicer have
been
acceptable to
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
25
<PAGE>
(rr) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and is not insolvent,
and
neither the Seller nor the Servicer has any knowledge of any
circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the
Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that
could
reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage
Loan
as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to
become
delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or the
marketability of the Mortgage Loan.
(ss) The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller or the Servicer,
and neither the Seller nor the Servicer has knowledge of any
relief
requested by the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief
Act.
(tt) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the
construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (ii)
facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.
(uu) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there exists no
violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule
or
regulation
in respect of the Mortgaged Property which violation has had
or would have a material adverse effect on the market value of
such
Mortgaged Property. There is no pending action or proceeding
directly
involving any Mortgaged Property of which the Seller or the
Servicer is
aware in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or
regulation is an issue.
(vv) No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of
affairs exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in
the
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any
applicable
special hazard insurance policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
(if
any) or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure
of
coverage. 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 the Servicer or any designee of the Seller or the
Servicer or any corporation in which the Seller, the Servicer or
any
officer, director, or employee of the Seller or the Servicer had
a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insu
