The Mortgage Loan Schedule shall contain as to each Mortgage Loan listed thereon, at a minimum, the Mortgage Loan information indicated on SCHEDULE 2 hereto. SECTION 3. PURCHASE PRICE. (a) In exchange for the Mortgage Loans, on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall transfer to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds the purchase price (the "Purchase Price") which is equal to * % multiplied by the principal balance thereof as of the Cut-Off Date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the Cut-Off Date to the Closing Date. * Provided upon request by ABN AMRO Mortgage Corporation.

All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. Each 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.

Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's or any subservicer 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. All flood insurance and hazard insurance premiums have been paid when due; (xxiii) each 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 each Mortgage Loan and the recording of the related Mortgage were paid, and the applicable Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (xxiv) with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan to the percentage of the appraised value thereof specified by FNMA is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a primary mortgage insurance policy issued by an insurer, and in a form, acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. 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. 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 primary mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the primary mortgage insurance policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium; (xxv) to the best of the Seller's knowledge each Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation; (xxvi) all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of each Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities; (xxvii) each Mortgage Loan has been properly serviced in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, the terms of the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and related Mortgage Loan documents and all applicable guidelines to any prior mortgagee. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of -9- the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in accordance with law, and by Servicer's best estimate in an amount sufficient to pay for every item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or any Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited; (xxviii) the Mortgage Loan will have a transferable life-of-loan tax service contract with First American Real Estate Tax Service or another tax service, provided that such tax service is acceptable to the Purchaser; (xxix) Each Mortgage Note and Assignment of Mortgage has been, or will be, delivered to the Purchaser or its custodian for each Mortgage Loan; (xxx) the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Seller's underwriting standards in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; and (xxxi) no fraud occurred on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, any third party in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this SECTION 8 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note (or lost note affidavit and indemnity) or assignment of Mortgage or the examination of any Mortgage File.

Within 90 (ninety) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall, with respect to the Mortgage Loan(s) to which such breach relates, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects (except for a breach of that portion of the representation and warranty relating to any casualty from the presence of hazardous waste or hazardous substances), (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (or any property acquired in respect thereof) from the Purchaser at a purchase price in an amount equal to par plus accrued interest up to the date of repurchase or (iii) within the 90 (ninety)-day period following the Closing Date substitute another mortgage loan for such Mortgage Loan. Such substitute mortgage loan shall on the date of substitution, (a) have a principal balance not in excess of the principal balance of the defective Mortgage Loan, (b) be accruing interest at a rate of interest at least equal to that of the defective Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than two -10- years less than, that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted, (d) have an original loan-to-value ratio not higher than that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted and a current loan-to-value ratio not higher than that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted, and (e) comply with all the representations and warranties relating to Mortgage Loans set forth herein, as of the date of substitution (such mortgage loan being referred to herein as a "QUALIFYING SUBSTITUTE MORTGAGE LOAN"). It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this SECTION 8 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. The Purchaser, upon receipt by it of the full amount of the purchase price in an amount equal to par plus accrued interest up to the date of repurchase for a Mortgage Loan that is repurchased, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan that is substituted or repurchased, shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Seller the related Mortgage File for the Mortgage Loan that is substituted and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation, or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee or assignee title to any such substituted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Seller at its expense and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Mortgage Loan that is substituted. Any cause of action against the Seller or relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this SECTION 8 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) failure by the Seller to cure such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for all amounts payable in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgage Loans will be purchased on a servicing released basis. Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS. (a) Pursuant to the terms hereof and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, Mortgage Loans having the general characteristics set forth in this Agreement and specifically identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, for the Purchase Price set forth below in SECTION 3(A) hereof and having an aggregate principal balance on and as of the date of such Mortgage Loan Schedule (the "CUT-OFF DATE") of approximately $198,264,572 after deduction of principal payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date (which amount may vary plus or minus 5% thereof), or such other aggregate principal balance as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser on the Closing Date (as defined below). (b) Subject to mutual agreement between the Purchaser and the Seller, the closing for the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 28, 2003 (the "CLOSING DATE") at the office of Purchaser's counsel in New York, New York or such other place as the parties shall agree. SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. Attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1 is a listing of the Mortgage Loans evidenced by promissory notes, mortgage notes or other evidence of indebtedness (the "MORTGAGE NOTES") evidencing the indebtedness of an obligor (the "MORTGAGOR") under the mortgages, deeds of trust or other instruments securing a Mortgage Loan (the "MORTGAGES") to be purchased by and delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (as such may be amended prior to the Closing Date by mutual agreement of the parties) (the "MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE"). The "Mortgage Loan Schedule" as of the Closing Date shall refer to the Mortgage Loan Schedule as delivered on the Cut-Off Date related to such Mortgage Loans to be purchased by or on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Mortgage Loan Schedule shall contain as to each Mortgage Loan listed thereon, at a minimum, the Mortgage Loan information indicated on SCHEDULE 2 hereto. SECTION 3. PURCHASE PRICE. (a) In exchange for the Mortgage Loans, on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall transfer to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds the purchase price (the "Purchase Price") which is equal to * % multiplied by the principal balance thereof as of the Cut-Off Date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the Cut-Off Date to the Closing Date. * Provided upon request by ABN AMRO Mortgage Corporation. (b) The Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected after the Cut-Off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date). The Seller shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest due with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-Off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date).

The Purchaser may purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans with or without conducting any partial or complete examination.

SECTION 5. TRANSFER OF MORTGAGE LOANS; POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. (a) On the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions hereof, the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans and all proceeds thereof, wherever located, including without limitation, all amounts in respect of principal and interest received or receivable with respect to Mortgage Loan payments due after the Cut-Off Date (and including scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-Off Date but received by the Seller on or before the Cut-Off Date, but not including -2- payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date), together with the proceeds of any related mortgage insurance policies.

(xv) that based upon a representation by each Mortgagor at the time of origination or assumption of the applicable Mortgage Loan, approximately 95.52% of the Mortgage Loans measured by principal balance were to be secured by owner-occupied residences and approximately 4.48% of the Mortgage Loans measured by principal balance were secured by owner-occupied second home residences; (xvi) that an appraisal of each Mortgaged Property was conducted at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and that each such appraisal was conducted in accordance with FNMA or FHLMC criteria, on FNMA or FHLMC forms and comparables on at least three properties were obtained; (xvii) that no Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 95%; (xviii) the Mortgage Loans were not selected in a manner to adversely affect the interests of the Purchaser and the Seller knows of no conditions which reasonably would cause it to expect any Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or otherwise lose value; -7- (xix) each Mortgage Loan was either (A) originated directly by or closed in the name of either: (i) a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or (ii) a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act or (B) originated or underwritten by an entity employing underwriting standards consistent with the underwriting standards of an institution as described in subclause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above; (xx) each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, without regard to ss.1.860 G-2(f) of the REMIC provisions or any similar rule; (xxi) each Mortgage Loan that has a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% is covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy; and (xxii) that no Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization or the deferral of accrued interest. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this SECTION 8 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note (or lost note affidavit and indemnity) or assignment of Mortgage or the examination of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Seller, the Purchaser or its designees of a breach of any of the foregoing representations or warranties of the Seller which materially and adversely affects (1) the value of any of the Mortgage Loans actually delivered or (2) the interests of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within 90 (ninety) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall, with respect to the Mortgage Loan(s) to which such breach relates, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects (except for a breach of that portion of the representation and warranty relating to any casualty from the presence of hazardous waste or hazardous substances), (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (or any property acquired in respect thereof) from the Purchaser at the Purchase Price, as adjusted for the then current principal balance or (iii) within the 90 (ninety)-day period following the Closing Date substitute another mortgage loan for such Mortgage Loan. Such substitute mortgage loan shall on the date of substitution, (a) have a principal balance not in excess of the principal balance of the defective Mortgage Loan, (b) be accruing interest at a rate of interest at least equal to that of the defective Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than two years less than, that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted, (d) have an original loan-to-value ratio not higher than that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted and a current loan-to-value ratio not higher than that of the Mortgage Loan so substituted, and (e) comply with all the -8- representations and warranties relating to Mortgage Loans set forth herein, as of the date of substitution (such mortgage loan being referred to herein as a "QUALIFYING SUBSTITUTE MORTGAGE LOAN"). Except as set forth in SECTION 12 hereof, it is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this SECTION 8 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. The Purchaser, upon receipt by it of the full amount of the Purchase Price as adjusted for the then current principal balance for a Mortgage Loan that is repurchased, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan that is substituted or repurchased, shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Seller the related Mortgage File for the Mortgage Loan that is substituted and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation, or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee or assignee title to any such substituted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Seller at its expense and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Mortgage Loan that is substituted. Any cause of action against the Seller or relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this SECTION 8 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) failure by the Seller to cure such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for all amounts payable in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

Neither the execution and delivery by Seller of the Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated therein, nor the compliance by Seller with the provisions thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Seller's charter or by-laws or board or shareholder's resolutions, or any agreement or instrument to which Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Seller or its property is subject, which, in any of the above cases, would materially and adversely affect Seller's ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. 5. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against Seller which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Seller contemplated therein, or which ABN AMRO Mortgage Corporation __________ __, 200_ Page 3 would be likely to materially impair the ability of Seller to perform under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
