SECTION 3. Mortgage Schedules.

The Seller from time to time shall provide the Purchaser with certain
information constituting a preliminary listing of the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased on each Closing Date in accordance with the related Purchase Price
and Terms Letter and this Agreement (each, a "Preliminary Mortgage Schedule").

The Seller shall deliver the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the

at least five (5) Business


-13-
<PAGE>

Days prior to the related Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loan Schedule
shall be the related Preliminary Mortgage Schedule with those Mortgage Loans
which have not been funded prior to the related Closing Date deleted.

SECTION 4. Purchase Price.

Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall pay
the Purchase Price plus accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of
each Mortgage Loan as of the applicable Cut-off Date at its Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the

collected on or after the related Cut-off Date, and (3) all payments of
interest on the Mortgage Loans net of applicable Servicing Fees (minus that

the related Mortgage File, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage (for
Mortgage Loans that are not MERS Designated Mortgage Loans), pertaining to

Purchaser for examination at such other location as shall otherwise be
acceptable to the Purchaser. Such examination of the Mortgage Files may be
made by the Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or after
the related Closing Date. If the Purchaser makes such examination prior to the
related Closing Date and determines, in its sole discretion, that any Mortgage
Loans do not conform to any of the requirements set forth in the related
Purchase Price and Terms Letter, or as an Exhibit annexed thereto, the
Purchaser may delete such Mortgage Loans from the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and such Deleted Mortgage Loan (or Loans) may be replaced by a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (or Loans) acceptable to the Purchaser. The
Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase some
or all of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete
examination. 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 impair in any way the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights
to demand repurchase, substitution or other remedy as provided in this


-14-
<PAGE>

Agreement. In the event that the Seller fails to deliver the Mortgage File
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, upon the request of the

shall make available to the Purchaser in digital format on compact disks or
DVDs, selected Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage File which shall
include, without limitation, imaged documents required by the Purchaser to
conduct an examination of the Mortgage File.

SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Purchaser.

Subsection 6.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery of the Mortgage Loan
Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on
each Closing Date, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Conveyance
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Assignment and
Conveyance Agreement"). The Seller shall ensure that the contents of each
Servicing File, which required to be retained by or delivered to the Interim
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Interim Servicing
Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser, or its designee, are and
shall be held in trust by the Interim Servicer for the benefit of the
Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Seller agrees that the Interim 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 Interim
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 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
Interim Servicer shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be retained
and maintained, in trust, by the Interim Servicer at the will of the Purchaser
in such custodial capacity only. The Seller shall cause the Servicing File
retained by the Interim Servicer pursuant to this Agreement to be
appropriately identified in the Seller's computer system and/or books and
records, as appropriate, to clearly reflect the sale of the related Mortgage
Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to release
from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in
accordance with this Agreement or the Interim Servicing Agreement, except when
such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Subsection 9.03 or if required under applicable law or court
order.

Subsection 6.02. Books and Records.

Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the
related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, an Affiliate of the
Seller, the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the
Purchaser shall select; provided, however, that if a Mortgage has been
recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Seller is shown as the owner
of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system
of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by
MERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of each Mortgage and related
Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate
designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out of the
Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by


-15-
<PAGE>

the Seller or the Interim Servicer after the related Cut-off Date on or in
connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or
more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that all funds received on
or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be received and held by the Seller
or the Interim Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the
appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The Seller shall be or shall cause the Interim Servicer to be
responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and
records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to reflect the
ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. In particular, the Seller
shall or shall cause the Interim Servicer to maintain in its possession,
available for inspection by the Purchaser, and shall deliver to the Purchaser
upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws,
rules and regulations, and requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,
including but not limited to documentation as to the method used in
determining the applicability of the provisions of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation
evidencing insurance coverage and periodic inspection reports, as required by
the Fannie Mae Guides. To the extent that original documents are not required
for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds,
documents maintained by the Seller or the Interim Servicer may be in the form
of microfilm or microfiche so long as the Seller or the Interim Servicer
complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guides.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the related
Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of such 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.

The Seller shall deliver and release to the Custodian no later than
two (2) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date (or such other date as
may be specified on Exhibit A-1), those Mortgage Loan Documents set forth on
Exhibit A-1 hereto as required by the Custodial Agreement with respect to each
Mortgage Loan set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.

In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall indemnify the
Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents
and any Successor Servicer and its present and former directors, officers,
employees and agents, and hold such parties harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, the fact that any Mortgage Loan is not covered by an ALTA or
CLTA lender's title insurance policy. For purposes of the previous sentence,
"Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this
Agreement and "Successor Servicer" shall mean any Person designated as the


-16-
<PAGE>

Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who
previously were "Successor Servicers" pursuant to this Agreement.

The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement for the
related Closing Date, as evidenced by the Initial Certification of the
Custodian in the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement. The Seller shall
comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement and the Purchaser shall pay
all fees and expenses of the Custodian.

The Seller shall or shall cause the Interim Servicer to forward to
the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in
writing, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance
with this Agreement within two (2) weeks after their execution, provided,
however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian, or to such other Person
as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, with a certified true copy of any
such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of its execution, and
shall promptly provide the original of any document submitted for recordation
or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original within two (2) weeks
following receipt of the original document by the Interim Servicer; provided,
however, that such original recorded document or certified copy thereof shall
be delivered to the Purchaser no later than 180 days following the related
Closing Date, unless there has been a delay at the applicable recording
office.

If the original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to
the appropriate public recording office is not delivered to the Purchaser or
its designee within 180 days following the related Closing Date, the related
Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the
Seller at the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 9.03. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply if the Seller cannot cause the
Interim Servicer to deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the
specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the
applicable jurisdiction; provided that (i) the Seller shall instead deliver a
recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is
not available, an officer's certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller,
confirming that such document has been accepted for recording, and (ii) such
document is delivered within twelve (12) months of the related Closing Date.

The Seller shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the
Assignments of Mortgage and any other fees or costs in transferring all
original documents to the Custodian or, upon written request of the Purchaser,
to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee. The Purchaser or the Purchaser's
designee shall be responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage and
shall be reimbursed by the Seller for the costs associated therewith pursuant
to the preceding sentence.

Subsection 6.04. Quality Control Procedures.

The Seller shall, or shall cause the Interim Servicer to, have an
internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the
existence and accuracy of the legal


-17-
<PAGE>

documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions.
The program shall include evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of the
Seller loan production and the servicing activities of the Interim Servicer.
The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated in accordance
with the Underwriting Guidelines; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or
negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees,
or other authorized persons.

Subsection 6.05. MERS Designated Loans.

With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall,
on or prior to the related Closing Date, designate the Purchaser as the
Investor and the Custodian as custodian, and no Person shall be listed as
Interim Funder on the MERS System. In addition, on or prior to the related
Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Custodian and the Purchaser with a MERS
Report listing the Purchaser as the Investor, the Custodian as custodian and
no Person as Interim Funder with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage
Loan.

SECTION 7. Servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

The Mortgage Loans have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a
servicing released basis. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Seller hereby sells,
transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Purchaser the Servicing
Rights.

The Purchaser shall retain the Interim Servicer as contract servicer
of the Mortgage Loans for an interim period pursuant to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions contained in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein).
The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to execute the Interim Servicing
Agreement on the initial Closing Date.

The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to transfer the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans on each Transfer Date in accordance with the terms of
the Interim Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 8. [RESERVED].

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller;
Remedies for Breach.

Subsection 9.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual
Mortgage Loans.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as
to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date or such other date
specified herein:

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;



-18-
<PAGE>

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the
related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan
is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been
30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage
Loan;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with
the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground
rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of
funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item
which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and
payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan,
except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day
which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of
principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been
recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which
has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser
shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration
or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and
the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms
are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. 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 part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of
which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(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) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Underwriting
Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines. All
individual insurance policies contain a standard


-19-
<PAGE>

mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at
such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been
given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,
provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy
covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common
facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having
engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such
policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity
and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has
been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or
realized by the Seller;

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, predatory and abusive lending, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any provisions relating to a Prepayment Penalty have been complied
with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall
maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and
shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all
such requirements;

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied,
canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in
part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the
performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has
the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;

(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that
is not a Co-op Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate,
the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate that 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 residential condominium unit in
a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, or
an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing corporation; provided,
however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or residential
cooperative housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting
Guidelines. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial purposes, and
since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has



-20-
<PAGE>

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.
None of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes, log homes, mobile
homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types;

(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected, first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all
buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located
in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and
replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the
Mortgage is subject only to:

(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 acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of
the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the
Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such
appraisal; and

(iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first
priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller
has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

With respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage 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 housing corporation for unpaid assessments
representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related residential
cooperative housing 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 the
related Security Agreement;

-21-
<PAGE>

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its
terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to
Prepayment Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such
agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties.
No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence
with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of
any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. 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. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken
place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor,
any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in
relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents
constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems
necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth
herein;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is
no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as
to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements
of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and
expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of
the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and
upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain
the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to
the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for
the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan.
The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and
sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance,
equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any

security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess,

in its Mortgage capacity as Servicer of such Loan. After the related Closing
Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale
of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to

(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1)
in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws
of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i)
organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in
such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or
a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing
business in such state;

(o) LTV, PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%.
Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of 80%
is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect
covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan, subject
to applicable law. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being
complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no
state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial
of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for
the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of
any PMI Policy insurance premium or LPMI Fee;

(p) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a
Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance
policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable
under the Underwriting Guidelines and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the
maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage),
subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph
(j) of this Subsection 9.01, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to
the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier
of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title
insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The
Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's
title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims
have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder
of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or
other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,
retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(q) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates
nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach,
violation or event which would permit acceleration;

(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;

(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of
the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a

Schedule. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted with respect to Adjustable
