Subsection 9.02  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 for such Mortgage Loan:
 
(a)  Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
 
(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

-24-


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 provision that names the Purchaser and its successors and assigns as mortgagee upon the transfer of the Mortgage File to the Custodian, 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, abusive and fair 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

-25-


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.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(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 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.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(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

-26-

 
  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;
 
(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, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).  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.  To Seller’s knowledge, 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.  To Seller’s knowledge, 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

-27-


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 payment of the Purchase Price, as defined in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, by the Purchaser, and with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans, 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 upon the payment of the Purchase Price, as defined in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, by the Purchaser, and with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.  The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except as may be required of the Seller in its capacity as Interim Servicer of such Mortgage Loan.  Upon the payment of the Purchase Price, as defined in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, by the Purchaser, and with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans, 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 repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;

-28-


life of such Mortgage Loan.  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 such insurance premium;
 
(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 clause (j) of this Subsection 9.02, 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.  To Seller’s knowledge, 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.  To Seller’s knowledge, 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;

(v)  Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines.  The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which is attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement).  The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and no representations have been made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;

(z)  Acceptable Investment.  There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan 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, or cause the Mortgage Loan to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally.  No Mortgaged Property is located in a state, city, county or other local jurisdiction which the Purchaser has determined in its sole good faith discretion would cause the related Mortgage Loan to be ineligible for whole loan sale or securitization in a transaction consistent with the prevailing sale and securitization industry (including, without limitation, the practice of the rating agencies) with respect to substantially similar mortgage loans;
 
(aa)  [Reserved];
 
(bb)  Transfer of Mortgage Loans.  The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(ff)  Consolidation of Future Advances.  Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the applicable 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.  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 and Freddie Mac.  The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

(ss)  Prepayment Penalty.  Each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Prepayment Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Seller during the period the Seller is acting as Interim Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser, and each Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law.  Each such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not more than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and no such Prepayment Penalty may provide for a term in excess of five (5) years unless the Mortgage Loan was

-34-


modified to reduce the Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years from the date of the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in Prepayment Penalty period.  With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Penalty upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment Penalty, (ii) the Mortgage Loan’s originator had a written policy of offering the Mortgagor, or requiring third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor, the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a penalty and (iii) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents pursuant to applicable state, local and federal law.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(tt)  Predatory Lending Regulations.  No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable.  No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local law.  The Mortgaged Property is not located in a jurisdiction where a breach of this representation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan may result in additional assignee liability to the Purchaser, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(uu)  Single-premium credit life insurance policy.  No Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.  No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(vv)  Qualified Mortgage.  The Mortgage Loan is a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
 
(ww)  Tax Service Contract.  Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is transferable.  On the related Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser a transfer fee of two dollars ($2.00) for each Mortgage Loan covered by such a tax service contract.  If such a tax service contract with First American Real Estate Tax Service is not in place then a placement fee of seventy two dollars ($72.00) will apply for each such Mortgage Loan;
 
(xx)  Origination.  No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

-35-

 
(yy)  Recordation.  Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;
 
(zz)  Co-op Loans.  With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock that is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a person as a tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code);
 
(aaa)  Mortgagor Bankruptcy.  To the Seller’s knowledge, on or prior to the date 60 days after the related Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not filed and will not file a bankruptcy petition or has not become the subject and will not become the subject of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or has not consented to or will not consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to a receiver being appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged Property;
 
(bbb)  No Prior Offer.  The Mortgage Loan has not previously been offered for sale;
 
(ccc)  Georgia Fair Lending Act.  There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated (or modified) on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 which is secured by property located in the State of Georgia.  There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after March 7, 2003 that is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(ddd)  No Arbitration.  To Seller’s knowledge no Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004 agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan transaction.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(eee)  Flood Service Contract.  Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, flood service contract issued by either First American Flood Data Services or Fidelity, and such contract is transferable.  If no such flood service contract is in place, or if such flood service contract is issued by an insurer other than First American Flood Data Services or Fidelity, then on the related Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser a placement fee of ten dollars ($10.00) for each such Mortgage Loan;
 
(fff)  Origination Practices/No Steering. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.  If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration.

-36-


For a Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the standard products.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(ggg)  Underwriting Methodology.  The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit.  The methodology employed objective criteria that related such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets or liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.  Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
 
(hhh)  Points and Fees.  No Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater.  For purposes of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Guides and “points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation; and
 
(iii)  Fees Charges.  All points, fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.  This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.
 
Subsection 9.03  Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
 
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 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 Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File.  With respect to any representation or warranty contained in Sections 9.01 or 9.02 hereof that is made to the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Purchaser that the

-37-


substance of such representation and warranty was inaccurate as of the related Closing Date and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.  Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties (notwithstanding that such representation and warranty was made to the Seller’s knowledge) that materially and adversely affects the value of one or more of the related Mortgage Loans, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other relevant parties.
 
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any such breach of a representation or warranty, which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable 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.  Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clause  (vv) of Subsection 9.02, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein.  In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01, 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 affected by such breach 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 Subsection 9.02 (except as provided in the second sentence of this paragraph with respect to certain breaches for which no substitution is permitted) 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 ninety (90) days after the related Closing Date.  If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.  Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser, and acceptable to the Seller, and shall be accomplished by either (a) if the 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 the 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 Interim Servicing Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions.

-38-

 
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 that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the 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 or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement.  No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the 15th calendar day of such month.  The Seller shall remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, 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 the 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.  The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.  Upon such substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02.
 
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 directly to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions within two (2) Business Days of such substitution.
 
In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, 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 resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution

-39-


Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 9.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser and Successor Servicer as provided in this Subsection 9.03 and in Subsection 14.01 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and Successor Servicer respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.  For purposes of this paragraph “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 Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Successor Servicers” pursuant to this Agreement.
 
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 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, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
 
Subsection 9.04  Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with First Payment Defaults.  If the related Mortgagor is 30 or more days delinquent with respect to the Mortgage Loan’s first Monthly Payment either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date, such delinquency is not attributable to the servicing transfer, and Purchaser provided written notification to Seller of such delinquency within 90 days of such delinquency (unless the Seller or its affiliate is interim servicing the Mortgage Loan at the time of the early payment default, in which case Purchaser shall have 90 days from its receipt of notice of such default to request such repurchase), the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.  The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such request.
 
Subsection 9.05  Premium Recapture.  With respect to any Mortgage Loan that prepays in full (i) on or prior to the related Closing Date and (ii) during the first three months following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days after such prepayment in full, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess of the Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan over par, multiplied by the then outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Servicing Rights Purchase Price Percentage (as defined in the Purchase Price and Terms Agreement) multiplied by the then outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to reimburse any applicable premium with respect to any Mortgage Loan that prepays in full during the time periods specified in this Subsection 9.05 unless Purchaser provides written notification of the prepayment in full within 90 days of such prepayment in full.
 
SECTION 10.  Closing
 
The closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date.  At the Purchaser’s option, each Closing shall be either:  by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.

SECTION 13.  Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.
 
The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each, a “Reconstitution Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures and (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser and (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in Subsection 9.01 as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution and to restate the representations and warranties set forth in Subsection 9.02 as of the related Closing Date, or make the representations and warranties as may be required by any rating agency in connection with such Reconstitution.  The Seller shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such Reconstitution:  (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request (at the expense of the Purchaser if such information or verification of information is not reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates); and (ii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the

-43-


Purchaser or any such participant, including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution Agreements.  The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the Purchaser participating in the Reconstitution and each Person who controls the Purchaser or such affiliate and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding the Seller, the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution; provided,however, that Seller shall be liable in any such case only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with such information.  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.

Subsection 14.02  Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
 
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
 
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall have a net worth of at least $25,000,000.

-45-

 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary it is understood and agreed that a transaction in which one hundred percent of Seller’s stock is transferred to a thrift institution or other lending institution that is wholly owned by Rock Holdings, Inc, a Michigan Corporation, (which as of the date of this Agreement, is the Seller’s direct parent) shall not result in a breach of contract.
 
SECTION 15.  Financial Statements.
 
The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large).  The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above.  The Seller shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.
 
The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or the financial statements of the Seller.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall cause each prospective purchaser to execute a confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller, with respect to the information provided by the Seller as contemplated by the two preceding paragraphs and prior to the disclosure of such information by the Purchaser.
 
SECTION 16.  Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
 
The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date.  All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 18.  Severability Clause.
 
Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.  If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
 
SECTION 19.  Counterparts.
 
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts.  Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
SECTION 20.  Governing Law.
 
This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New York.  The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law.
 
SECTION 21.  Intention of the Parties.
 
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security.  Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans.  Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

-48-

 
SECTION 22.  Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
 
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser.  This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion.  This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller.  There shall be no limitation on the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement.  In the event the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 23.  Waivers.
 
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
 
SECTION 24.  Exhibits.
 
The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

SECTION 28.  Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
 
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected at the Seller’s expense in the event recordation is either necessary under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser at its sole option.
 
SECTION 29.  No Solicitation
 
From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail (via electronic means or otherwise), solicit a Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, or any of its respective affiliates:
 
(i)  
may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of

-50-

 
  terms it has available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target Mortgagors and so long as such promotional material either is sent to the mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the servicing portfolio of the Seller and any of its affiliates (those it owns as well as those serviced for others); and 
   
(ii)  
may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination arrangements that are available.
 
Promotions undertaken by the Seller or by any affiliate of the Seller which are directed to the general public at large (including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements), shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 29.

SECTION 32.  Confidentiality.
 
All information furnished by one party (the “Protected Party”) to the other party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be kept confidential by such other party, and shall be used by it only in connection with this Agreement

-51-


and the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such information (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter, is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such other party), (ii) was available to such other party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Protected Party or its advisers, provided that such source, to the best of such other party’s knowledge, is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Protected Party, (iii) has been independently acquired or developed by such other party without violating any of such other party’s obligations under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be disclosed in the financial statements of such other party or its Affiliates, to the extent required by applicable accounting principles, or in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (v) is required to be publicly disclosed to its Affiliates, auditors, counsel or bank regulators, provided that such affiliates, auditors or counsel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.10, or (vi) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed by such other party, provided that prior notice of such disclosure has been given to the Protected Party, when legally permissible, and that such party which is required to make the disclosure uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient notice to permit the Protected Party to take legal action to prevent the disclosure.  In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall fail to be consummated, each party hereto shall promptly cause all originals and copies of documents or extracts thereof containing any such information and data as to a Protected Party to be returned to such Protected Party or destroyed and, upon request of the Protected Party, shall cause an officer to so certify to such Protected Party.  This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement or transfer of assets hereunder.
 
SECTION 33.  Entire Agreement.
 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto and any prior oral or written agreements between them shall be deemed to have merged herewith.
 
SECTION 34.  Compliance With Regulation AB.
 
Subsection 34.01  Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
 
The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 34 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.  Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings.  References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.
 
Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act).  The Seller acknowledges that

-52-


interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to negotiate in good faith with Purchaser or any Depositor upon requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.  In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate as provided herein with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
 
Subsection 34.02  Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
 
(a)  The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 34.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date:  (i) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator; and (ii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.

(A)  the originator’s form of organization;
 
(B)  a description of the originator’s origination program and how long the originator has been engaged in originating residential mortgage loans, which description shall include a discussion of the originator’s experience in originating mortgage loans of a similar type as the Mortgage Loans; information regarding the size and composition of the originator’s origination portfolio; and information that may be material, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser or any Depositor, to an analysis of the performance of the Mortgage Loans, including the originators’ credit-granting or underwriting criteria for mortgage loans of similar type(s) as the Mortgage Loans and such other information as the Purchaser or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance with Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB;

-54-


proceedings pending against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and (B) any affiliations or relationships that develop following the closing date of a Securitization Transaction between the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and any of the parties specified in clause (D) of paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other parties identified in writing by the requesting party) with respect to such Securitization Transaction, and (ii) provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor a description of such proceedings, affiliations or relationships.
 
(e)  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof, the Seller is unable and will not be obligated to provide any Static Pool Information contemplated under Item 1105 of Regulation AB.

EXHIBIT A-1
 
MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents shall include each of the following items, which shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be delivered to the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, pursuant to Section 6 of the Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Agreement”):
 
(a)  the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements, endorsed “Pay to the order of _________, without recourse” and signed in the name of the last endorsee (the “Last Endorsee”) by an authorized officer.  To the extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge, if state law so allows and the Custodian is so advised by the Seller that state law so allows.  If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”.  If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Last Endorsee while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], formerly known as [previous name]”;
 
(b)  an imaged copy of the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note;
 
(c)  with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, an imaged copy of the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon.  With respect to any Co-op Loan, an imaged copy of the Security Agreement.  If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the imaged copy of the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, an imaged copy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such Mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that an imaged copy of the original recorded Mortgage with evidence of recording will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, an imaged copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;
 
(d)  the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;

(e)  with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance acceptable for recording (except with respect to MERS Designated Loans).  The Assignment of Mortgage must be duly recorded only if recordation is either necessary under applicable law or commonly required by private institutional mortgage investors in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located or on direction of the Purchaser as provided in this Agreement.  If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Purchaser.  If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank.  If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”.  If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, the Assignment of Mortgage must be by “[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]”;
 
(f)  with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last Endorsee (or, in the case of a MERS Designated Loan, MERS) with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, an imaged copy of such intervening assignment, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such intervening assignment of mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that an imaged copy of such original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage with evidence of recording will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; or (ii) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording office, an imaged copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment;
 
(g)  with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, an imaged copy of the original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a certified true imaged copy of the related policy binder or commitment for title certified to be true and complete by the title insurance company;

Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.
 
(b)  Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided,further, however, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.
 
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except as provided in the following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
 
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless:  (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate

B-3


counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.
 
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 1, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
 
(c)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.
 
(d)  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Morgan, the Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s] their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor, Morgan, the Underwriter[s] the Initial Purchaser[s] or any such affiliate, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates or the Private Certificates.

(v)  Seller has full power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the transactions contemplated hereunder, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by the availability of equitable remedies, and by limitations of public policy under applicable securities law as to rights of indemnity and contribution thereunder;

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated [____________ __, 20__] (“Agreement”), among Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. (“Assignor”), [____________________] (“Assignee”) and Quicken Loans, Inc. (the “Company”):
 
For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to (a) Subsection 9.05 of the Purchase and Warranties Agreement or (b) any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase and Warranties Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.
 
Recognition of the Company
 
2.           From and after the date hereof (the “Securitization Closing Date”), the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase and Warranties Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to [__________________] (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [__________, 200_] (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, the Assignor, [___________________], as trustee (including its successors in interest and any successor trustees under the Pooling Agreement, the “Trustee”), [____________________], as servicer (including its successors in interest and any successor servicer under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicer”).  The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof (i) the Trust will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Company shall look solely to the Trust for performance of any obligations of the Assignor insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase and Warranties Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery

(d)           There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase and Warranties Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any

E-2


material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase and Warranties Agreement, and the Company is solvent.
 
4.           Subject to such events or circumstances which may have occurred or arisen since the related Closing Date, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust, that the representations and warranties set forth in (i) Section 9.01 of the Purchase and Warranties Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof and (ii) Section 9.02 of the Purchase and Warranties Agreement are true and correct as of the related Closing Date.

Miscellaneous
 
6.           This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
 
7.           No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced, with the prior written consent of the Trustee.
