SECTION 2.  Agreement to Purchase. The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from time to time, Mortgage Loans in Loan Packages having aggregate principal balances on the related Cut-off Date in an amount as set forth in the respective Commitment Letter, or in such other amounts as agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller as evidenced by the actual aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Package accepted by the Purchaser on the related Closing Date. The Mortgage Loans will be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3. Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Seller will provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement for each Transaction (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule"). Each Mortgage Loan Schedule shall conform to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" as set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 4.  

(a) Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Loan Package (the "Purchase Price") shall be the percentage of par as stated in the related Commitment Letter, multiplied by the aggregate scheduled principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Package, after application of scheduled payments of principal for such related Loan Package due on or before such Cut-off Date whether or not collected. The Purchase Price for a Loan Package may be adjusted as stated in the related Commitment Letter.

In addition to the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the aggregate scheduled principal amount of the related Mortgage Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for each Loan Package from the related Cut-off Date through the day prior to the related Closing Date, inclusive.

With respect to each Loan Package, the Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all scheduled principal due after the Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the related Cut-off Date (provided, however, that all scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date and collected by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller), and (3) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the related Cut-off Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus interest at the Servicing Fee Rate) shall be the property of the Purchaser. The Seller shall deposit any such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established for the benefit of the Purchaser for subsequent remittance by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(b) Repurchase Price.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement and Section 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the respective Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian 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), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within ninety (90) days after the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, 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 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement, and such breach cannot be cured within ninety (90) days after 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 6 hereof and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, if the breach cannot be cured, 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 within ninety (90) days of the written notice of the breach or the failure to cure, whichever is later. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall be accomplished by 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.

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. If the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System to remove the Purchaser as the beneficial holder with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser 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 5(d) of this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by such Section 2.03. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account 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. With respect to any Deleted Mortgage Loan, 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 distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 4(b) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 4(b) constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 6 hereof and Section 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement 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.

SECTION 5.  

(a) Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall (a) deliver to the Purchaser in escrow, for examination, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser for examination at the Seller's offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing Date or by any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser, at any time after the Closing Date upon prior reasonable notice to the Seller. The fact that the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief or remedy as provided under the Servicing Agreement.

(b) Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to each Assignment and Conveyance Agreement, on the related Closing Date, the Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, shall thereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement and the related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans listed on the respective Mortgage Loan Schedule annexed to such Assignment and Conveyance Agreement, together with the Mortgage File and all rights and obligations arising under the documents contained therein. The Company shall deliver the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the related Data File to the Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date. Pursuant to Section 5(d) of this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Servicing Agreement, the Company shall deliver the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan comprising the related Loan Package to the Custodian.

(c) Books and Records. The sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by the Seller. The Seller shall 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 maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Purchaser, or its designee, 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 Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium project for approval by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and records of periodic inspections required by Section 4.13 of the Servicing Agreement. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Seller may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Seller complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Selling and Servicing Guide, as amended from time to time.

(d) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. On each Closing Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan comprising the related Loan Package, the Seller shall have delivered to the Custodian those Mortgage Loan Documents contained in the Mortgage File pursuant to this Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan. In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS System to indicate that the related Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by entering in the MERS System the information required by the MERS System to identify the Purchaser as owner of such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will not alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or unless otherwise directed by the Purchaser.
The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Mortgage Loan Documents in each Mortgage File required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, as evidenced by the Initial Certification of the Custodian in the forms annexed to the Custodial Agreement. The Purchaser will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Custodian.

The contents of each Servicing File are and shall be held in trust by the Seller as servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The possession of each Servicing File by the Seller is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Seller is in a custodial capacity only. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage File and Servicing File shall vest immediately 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 Seller shall vest immediately in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained by the Seller, in trust, at the will of the Purchaser and only in such custodial capacity.

SECTION 6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Seller. The Seller agrees and acknowledges that it shall, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, make the representations and warranties specified in this Section 6 and in Section 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement, as of the related Closing Date. The meaning of the term "Agreement" as used in Section 3.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall include this Agreement. The Seller, without conceding that the Mortgage Loans are securities, hereby makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements which shall be deemed to have been made as of the related Closing Date:

a)  
With respect to the Seller:

(i)  
Securities Act of 1933.

Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Mortgage Loans or any other similar security with, any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Mortgage Loans under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or which would render the disposition of any Mortgage Loans a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any Person to act, in such manner with respect to the Mortgage Loans;

(ii)  
Broker/Agent.

The Seller has not dealt with any broker or agent or anyone else who might be entitled to a fee or commission in connection with this transaction other than the Purchaser;

 
(iii)
No Conflicts.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, articles of incorporation or by-laws or any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Seller or its property is subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans, or impair the value of the Mortgage Loans;

 
(iv)
Ability to Perform.

The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement. The Seller is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Seller to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Seller’s creditors;

 
(v)
No Litigation Pending.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Seller which, 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 Seller, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Seller, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

 
(vi)
Selection Process.

The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding fixed rate and adjustable rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in the Seller's mortgage banking portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6(b) could be made and such selection was not made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser; and

 
(vii)
Sale Treatment.

The Seller has determined that the disposition of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will be afforded sale treatment for accounting and tax purposes.

(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan:

(i)      Mortgage Loans as Described.

The information set forth in the respective Mortgage Loan Schedule and the information contained on the Data File, delivered to the Purchaser is true and correct;

(ii)     Payments Current.

All payments required to be made up to the related Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment under any Mortgage Loan has been 30 days delinquent more than one time within twelve (12) months prior to the related Closing Date;

(iii)     No Outstanding Charges.

There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgages, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water, sewer and municipal charges, 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, or solicited directly or indirectly, 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 later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(iv)     Original Terms Unmodified.

The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded or registered with the MERS System, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. 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 File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(v)     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;

(vi)     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 satisfaction, release, cancellation, subordination or rescission;

(vii)     Validity of Mortgage Documents.

The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and related documents are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement, and related documents are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement, the Proprietary Lease, the Stock Power, Recognition Agreement and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver such documents, and such documents have been duly and properly executed by such parties;

(viii)     No Fraud.

No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, or the Mortgagor, or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, any appraiser, any builder, or any developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;

(ix)     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, equal credit opportunity, disclosure or predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;

(x)     Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, or a townhouse, or a cooperative, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac requirements, or the Underwriting Guidelines, regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, any Mortgaged Property being used for commercial purposes conforms to the Underwriting Guidelines and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, since the date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;

(xi)     Valid First Lien.

The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings 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:

(1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(3) 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 and enforceable 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 each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the Cooperative’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 (ii) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;

(xii)     Full Disbursement of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. 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;

(xiii)     Consolidation of Future Advances.

Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller shall not make future advances after the related Cut-off Date;

(xiv)     Ownership.

The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser.

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) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;

Except for Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan was greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or the Seller to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI 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 such insurance premium;
 
(xvii)     Title Insurance.
 
The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (xi) of this Section 6(b), and 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. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. The Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is 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 Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

(xviii)     No Defaults.

There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

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 the 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 which are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q) above;

(xx)    Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.

(xxi)     Payment Terms.

Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the related interest only period, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization;

(xxv)     Deeds of Trust.

In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(xxvi)     Acceptable Investment.

The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(xxvii)     Transfer of Mortgage Loans.

If the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(xxviii)     Mortgaged Property Undamaged.

The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(xxxii)     Insurance.

The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10 of the Servicing Agreement, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, or (2) the greater of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (y) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) the full insurable value and (c) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. 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. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a 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. 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.
