Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan, or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6 and 7 shall survive each sale of Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan (in the case of any of the foregoing, a "Breach"), the party discovering such Breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. 27 (b) With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty. (c) With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty. Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any Breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such Breach in all material respects and, if such Breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a Breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 6, and such Breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such Breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the Breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such Breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall be accomplished by either (a) if the Flow Interim Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the Flow Interim Servicing Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan, by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions. 28 At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser and any servicer of the Mortgage Loans that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Section 2(c), with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2(c). No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account, or in the event that the Flow Interim Servicing Agreement has not been entered into , or is no longer in effect, remit directly to the Purchaser or in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions, the Monthly Payment less the servicing fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be paid by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions, within two (2) Business Days of such substitution. Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the Breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 6 and 7 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failures by the Seller to cure such Breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement. (d) With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgagor fails to make the Mortgage Loan's first or second Monthly Payment due to the Purchaser after the related Closing Date within 30 days of the related Due Date, the Seller shall, upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser, promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof; provided, that no right to cure set forth therein shall apply. 29 (e) From the related Closing Date until the date 30 days after the related Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Files and obtain BPOs on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing Date, with the results of such BPO reviews to be communicated to the Seller for a period up to 30 days after the related Closing Date. In addition, the Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan which in the Purchaser's sole determination (i) fails to conform to Underwriting Guidelines, (ii) the value of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any BPO varies by more than plus or minus 15% from the lesser of (A) the original appraised value of the Mortgaged Property or (B) the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of origination or (iii) was underwritten without verification of the Mortgagor's income and assets and there is no FICO Score or credit report. In the event that the Purchaser so rejects any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall repurchase the rejected Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price in the manner prescribed in Section 8(a) upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser of the rejection of such Mortgage Loan. Any rejected Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that during the course of the Purchaser conducting its initial review, the Purchaser discovers that the Mortgage Loans do not otherwise meet the Seller's Underwriting Guidelines or the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser may conduct additional due diligence with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller agrees to pay any expenses incurred by the Purchaser due to any additional due diligence review mentioned above, over and above the Purchaser's initial review.

The Seller agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Purchaser unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim.

In each case temporarily retaining the Seller as the servicer thereof. The date on which any Mortgage Loans are included in a Pass-Through Transfer shall be a Reconstitution Date. On any Reconstitution Date, the Mortgage Loans transferred shall cease to be covered by the Interim Servicing Agreement. 37 The Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with any Pass-Through Transfer contemplated by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 28. In that connection, the Seller shall (a) execute any agreements related to any Pass-Through Transfers ("Reconstitution Agreements") within a reasonable period of time after receipt of any Reconstitution Agreement which time shall be sufficient for the Seller and Seller's counsel to review such Reconstitution Agreement, but such time shall not exceed ten (10) Business Days after such receipt, and (b) provide to the trustee or a third party purchaser, as the case may be, subject to any Reconstitution Agreement and/or the Purchaser: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller, whether through letters of its auditors (the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of which will be borne by the Purchaser) and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request; (ii) to bring each of the Mortgage Loan representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement current as of the date the Mortgage Loans are being transferred pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer, provided that, such Mortgage Loan representations and warranties shall be revised, to the extent allowed or required by the rating agencies and the certificate insurer and acceptable to the Purchaser, to reflect the actual pool of Mortgage Loans being securitized; notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, at the time of reconstitution, be entitled to state certain exceptions to the Mortgage Loan representations and warranties necessary to make same true and correct as of the time of the Pass-Through Transfer and (iii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably believed necessary by the trustee, such third party purchaser, any master servicer, any rating agency or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with such transactions; provided, however, that these items shall not be more onerous than such similar items set forth herein. In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Seller hold record title to the Mortgages, prior to a Reconstitution Date the Seller or its designee shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank from the Seller, acceptable to the trustee or such third party, as the case may be, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Pass-Through Transfer and shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated therewith. The Seller shall execute each assignment of mortgage, track such assignments of mortgage to ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by the trustee or such third party, as the case may be, upon the Seller's receipt thereof, provided, that the Seller need not record an assignment of mortgage if, at the sole option of the Purchaser, the Seller delivers an opinion of counsel in the applicable jurisdiction that it is not necessary to record the assignment of mortgage to protect the Purchaser's interest. Additionally, the Seller shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any Mortgage Note endorsements in connection with any and all Reconstitution Agreements. The Reconstitution Agreement will require the Seller to advance principal and interest payments on each Mortgage Loan at the Mortgage Loan Interest Rate less the Reconstituted Servicing Fee (defined below) on the remittance date of the Reconstitution Agreement. The Reconstitution Agreement will also require in connection with any prepayments, in addition to any prepayment penalties received by the Seller on the prepaid Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall contribute from its own funds to the extent that such contributions do not exceed the Reconstituted Servicing Fee, payable to the Seller for such prior month, any shortfall in the interest component thereof, such that one month's interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, (as defined in the Interim Servicing Agreement), prior to the remittance date of the Reconstitution Agreement. The Seller's obligation to remit payments of principal and interest shall continue through the liquidation of the Mortgaged Property on the related Mortgage Loan, or until such time that the Seller deems that any future advances of principal and interest would be otherwise non-recoverable. The Reconstituted Servicing Fee shall be 0.25% per annum times the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans included in the respective Pass-Through Transfer. 38 The Seller shall do all things necessary and required by a servicer who services Mortgage Loans under a Pass-Through Transfer which is a REMIC (defined as a "real estate mortgage conduit" within the meaning Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time). All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer and any Mortgage Loans repurchased by the Purchaser, shall be subject to the Interim Servicing Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of the Interim Servicing Agreement and with respect thereto the Interim Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 39 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

(the "Company"), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Flow Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement by and between the Company and Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (the "Purchaser"), Group No. 2001-___ dated as of December 12, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement") which sale is in the form of whole loans, serviced pursuant to an Flow Interim Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2001 by and between the Company and the Purchaser (the "Flow Interim Servicing Agreement", together with the Purchase Agreement, the "Agreements"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Flow Interim Servicing Agreement. [We] [I] have examined the following documents: 1. the Agreements; 2. the form of Assignment of Mortgage; 3. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and 4. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion. To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreements. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. E-1 Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that: 1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of California and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of the state of incorporation. 2. The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreements, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such Agreements 3. [Each of] the Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser's ownership of the Mortgage Loans. 4. The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreements [and by original [or facsimile] signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company]. 5. Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Purchase Agreement, the Flow Interim Servicing Agreement, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company. 6. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the Agreements conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound. E-2 7. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreements, or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements. 8. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Agreements is sufficient to fully transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee. 9. The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been duly endorsed as provided in the Agreements. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable. This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of its date.
