                          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

            SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

 

       The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does

hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee without

recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the assets

of the Trust Fund. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received

on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or after the Cut-off Date (other

than Scheduled Payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off

Date).

 

      In connection with such assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver to,

and deposit with, the Trustee, or to the Custodian as the Trustee's designated

agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage

Loan:

 

            (A) The electronic Mortgage Loan Schedule, a copy of which has also

      been delivered to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Servicing

      Administrator and the Trustee.

 

            (B) The Original Mortgage Note endorsed in blank or, "Pay to the

      order of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Terwin Mortgage

      Trust 2005-10HE, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-10HE, without

      recourse" together with all riders thereto. The Mortgage

 

 

 

                                      -52-

<PAGE>

 

      Note shall include all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain

      of the title from the originator to the Transferor.

 

            (C) Except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not

      a MERS Loan, the original recorded Mortgage together with all riders

      thereto, with evidence of recording thereon, or, if the original Mortgage

      has not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of the

      original Mortgage together with all riders thereto certified by the

      Transferor to be true copy of the original of the Mortgage that has been

      delivered for recording in the appropriate recording office of the

      jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and in the case of

      each MERS Loan, the original Mortgage together with all riders thereto,

      noting the presence of the MIN of the Loan and either language indicating

      that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM

      Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to

      MERS, with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the

      Mortgage certified by the public recording office in which such Mortgage

      has been recorded.

 

            (D) In the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Loan, the

      original Assignment of each Mortgage in blank or, to MERS or to "U.S. Bank

      National Association, as Trustee for Terwin Mortgage Trust 2005-10HE,

      Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-10HE, without recourse."

 

             (E) The original policy of title insurance (or a preliminary title

      report, commitment or binder if the original title insurance policy has

      not been received from the title insurance company).

 

            (F) Originals of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with

      evidence of recording thereon or, if the original intervening assignment

      has not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of such

      assignment certified to be a true copy of the original of the assignment

      which has been sent for recording in the appropriate jurisdiction in which

      the Mortgaged Property is located.

 

            (G) Originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if any.

 

      If in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan,

the Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or

assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be, with evidence of

recording thereon, if applicable, concurrently with the execution and delivery

of this Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording

office where such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation

or modification, as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the

Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the

Custodian written notice stating that such Mortgage or assumption, consolidation

or modification, as the case may be, has been delivered to the appropriate

public recording office for recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver

or cause to be delivered to the Custodian with notice to the Trustee such

Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification,

as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon, if applicable,

upon receipt thereof from the public recording office. To the extent any

required endorsement is not contained on a Mortgage Note or an Assignment of

Mortgage, the Depositor shall make or cause such endorsement to be made.

 

      In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller

agrees that within 360 days of receipt of all information and documentation

required by MERS it will take (or shall cause the Servicing Administrator or the

Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the

Depositor and the Trustee), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS

System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned to the Trustee in

accordance with this Agreement for the benefit

 

 

 

                                       -53-

<PAGE>

 

of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage

Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer

files the information required by the MERS System to identify the series of the

Certificates issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to

the Trust.

 

      With respect to any Mortgage Loan, none of the Depositor, the Servicing

Administrator, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall

be obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in

this Section 2.01. In the event an Assignment of Mortgage is not recorded, each

of the Servicing Administrator, the Seller, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and

the Servicer shall have no liability for its failure to receive and act on

notices related to such Assignment of Mortgage.

 

      The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the

related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee on behalf of the

Certificateholders. None of the Depositor, the Servicing Administrator, the

Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall take any action inconsistent

with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest therein. The

Depositor, the Servicing Administrator, the Servicer and Securities

Administrator shall respond to any third party inquiries with respect to

ownership of the Mortgage Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the

Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Depositor agrees to take no

action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to

promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been

sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans.

 

      It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this

Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance

of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge

and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the

Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the

obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the

intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the

Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee

shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the

security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage

Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the

intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security

agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all

payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights

relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of

any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the

satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security

interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee

shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

 

      In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this Section

2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee for

the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests under the Sale

Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest in the

representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement, the rights in

the Transfer Agreement described therein, and the benefit of the repurchase

obligations and the obligation of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to

take, at the request of the Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part

which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.

The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise

all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it

were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit

and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption

by the Trustee of any

 

 

 

                                      -54-

<PAGE>

 

obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with

the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto.

 

      It is agreed and understood by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee

that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is,

without limitation, a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Home Ownership and

Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any applicable anti-predatory lending laws,

including but not limited to (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New

Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home

Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act, effective January

1, 2004, (iii) the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective

November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Indiana

High-Cost Home Loan Law effective January 1, 2005.

 

            SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

 

      The Trustee accepts its appointment as Trustee hereunder and, except as

set forth as an exception in the exception report (the "Exception Report")

delivered with the Initial Certification (the "Initial Certification") or the

Final Certification, acknowledges the Custodian's receipt, subject to the

provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below, of the

Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does

not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such

Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that it (or the

Custodian, as its designated agent) holds and will hold such documents and any

other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in

trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The

Depositor will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan to which a

material exception was taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is

cured to the satisfaction of the Securities Administrator within 45 Business

Days of the Closing Date.

 

      The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Cap Contract (a form of which is

attached hereto) and is hereby instructed to enter into the Cap Contract, not in

its individual capacity, but solely as Trustee for the Terwin Mortgage Trust,

Series TMTS 2005-10HE.

 

      The Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian to deliver prior to the Closing

Date to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the

Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed as Exhibit B-1 to the

Custodial Agreement. The Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to

inspect, review or examine such documents, instruments, certificates or other

papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for

the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real

estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their

face.

 

      Not later than 70 days after the Closing Date, the Custodial Agreement

requires the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities

Administrator and the Servicer an Interim Certification in the form annexed as

Exhibit B-2 to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions noted

thereon.

 

      Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodial Agreement

requires the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities

Administrator and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed as

Exhibit B-3 to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions noted

thereon.

 

      If, in the course of such review, the Trustee is notified by the Custodian

that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File does not meet the

requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to list such

as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Trustee

shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient

to transfer all

 

 

 

                                      -55-

<PAGE>

 

right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee

thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable

form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee

thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.

 

      The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from

the date it is so notified of such defect and provided with information

indicating the nature of the breach and, if the Seller does not correct or cure

such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute for the

related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(c), or (ii)

purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the

Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such

Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the cure, substitution or repurchase

of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay

in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, then, provided

such defect does not cause such Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage"

within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code (as determined without

regard to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(3)(iii) or any similar rule

that treats a defective obligation as a "qualified mortgage" for a temporary

period) the Seller shall be given 270 days from the Closing Date to cure such

defect or, subject to the requirements of Section 2.03(c) hereof, substitute

for, or repurchase such Mortgage Loan; and further provided, that the Seller

shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the

Trustee or for the Seller's failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and

the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan as to

which such Assignment of Mortgage is not recorded. Any such substitution

effected more than 90 days after the Closing Date shall not be effected prior to

the delivery to the Custodian of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05

hereof and any substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional

delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release certifying that such Mortgage

Loan is a Replacement Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of Exhibit I and

the Mortgage File for any such substitute Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for

any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate

Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution

Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such

deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit I hereto,

the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall

execute and deliver at such entity's request such instruments of transfer or

assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be

necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any

Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

 

      The Trustee shall request that the Seller correct or cure such omission,

defect or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the

provisions of Section 2.03(c), within 90 days from the date the Seller was

notified of such omission or defect and provided with information indicating the

nature of the breach and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission

or defect within such period, the Trustee shall require that the Seller purchase

such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days from the date the Trustee

notified the Seller of such omission, defect or other irregularity and provided

information indicating the nature of the breach at the Purchase Price of such

Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to

this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in

the Certificate Account, promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee

of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the

Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release, shall promptly release to the

Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such

instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be requested

by the Seller and necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case

may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have

no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood

and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any

Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent

document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or

omission available to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The preceding

sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the

Certificateholders, the Depositor, Securities Administrator or the Trustee

pursuant to the Sale

 

 

 

                                      -56-

Agreement and any Transfer Agreement. The Trustee shall be under no duty or

obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments,

certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,

recordable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually

been recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their

face. The Servicer, the Servicing Administrator, the Securities Administrator

and the Trustee shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor except as

required by this Agreement and the Servicing Administrator, the Securities

Administrator and the Trustee shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the

purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan; notwithstanding anything

herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i)

disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or

information obtained from sources other than the other parties hereto, (ii)

disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable

law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having

or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Trustee's, the

Servicer's, the Servicing Administrator's or the Securities Administrator's

business or that of their affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil

investigation demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory

authority, or arbitrator or pursuant to any arbitration to which Trustee, the

Servicer, the Servicing Administrator or the Securities Administrator or any

affiliate or officer, director, employer or shareholder thereof is a party or

(D) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or

attorney of Trustee, the Servicer, the Servicing Administrator or the Securities

Administrator having a need to know the same, provided that such Person advises

such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or

(iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Depositor or Servicing

Administrator.

 

      All of the Mortgage Files are being held by the Custodian pursuant to the

Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee or the

Custodian, as the Trustee's agents with respect to the custody, acceptance,

inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to this Agreement shall be

performed by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.

 

            SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the

Depositor.

 

                  (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the

Servicer, the Servicing Administrator, the Securities Administrator, the Seller

and the Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof:

 

            (i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a

      corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and

      has full power and authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or

      hold its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and

      to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the

      Sale Agreement.

 

            (ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to

      execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the

      transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement and

       has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the

      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Sale

      Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming the due

      authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto,

      constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor,

      enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject,

      as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

      moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally

      and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement

      is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

 

 

                                       -57-

<PAGE>

 

            (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sale

      Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions

      contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the fulfillment

      of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of

      business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of

      any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B)

      materially conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration of, or

      result in a material default under, the terms of any other material

      agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it

      may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order

      or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body,

      administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the

      Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material

      indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of

      any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body,

      administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it

      which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor's ability to

      perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

            (iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor's

      knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and

      adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this

      Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to

      perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement in

       accordance with the terms hereof.

 

            (v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or

      governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and

      performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with, this

      Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the transactions

      contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or

      order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The Depositor

       hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each

      Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the

      Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the

      Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims,

      liens, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, defenses or

      counterclaims.

 

                  (b) The representations and warranties of each Transferor with

respect to the related Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement,

which have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date

specified in the applicable Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such

Transfer Agreement is in the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the

extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan

constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the applicable

Transferor under the applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or

warranty of the Seller under the Sale Agreement, the obligations of the Seller

under the Sale Agreement shall be enforced and to the extent the Seller does not

fulfill its contracted obligations then the obligations of the applicable

Transferor shall be enforced under any applicable representation or warranty

made by it. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no

obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or

warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans under any circumstances.

 

                  (c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicing

Administrator, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a

breach of any of such representations and warranties that adversely and

materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, prepayment charges or

the interests of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall

give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery

of such breach of any representation or warranty together with information

indicating the nature of the breach, the applicable Transferor or the Seller, as

applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b)

repurchase such

 

 

 

                                       -58-

<PAGE>

 

Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at

the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year period following the Closing Date,

substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the

event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of any

Transferor or the Seller, the Trustee's rights shall be enforced under the

applicable Transfer Agreement and the Sale Agreement for the benefit of

Certificateholders. If a breach of the representations and warranties set forth

in the Transfer Agreement hereof exists solely due to the unenforceability of a

prepayment charge, the Trustee or the other party having notice thereof shall

notify the Servicer thereof and not seek to enforce the repurchase remedy

provided for herein unless such Mortgage Loan is not current. In the event of a

breach of the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans
