Any such Confirmation and the related Transaction Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Buyer and the related Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates. By entering in to a Transaction with the Buyer, the related Seller consents to the terms set forth in the related Confirmation.

It is acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the facility provided under this Agreement is an uncommitted facility and the Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Transactions hereunder.

(ii) the Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the Applicable Margin plus the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequately to cover the cost to the Buyer of purchasing and holding Loans hereunder; or

(iii) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the LIBO Base Rate;

then the Buyer shall give the related Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Buyer shall be under no obligation to purchase Loans hereunder, and such Seller shall, at its option, either repurchase such Loans or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by the Buyer taking into account the increased cost to the Buyer of purchasing and holding the Loans.

Such early repurchases shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000.

(h) If a Seller repurchases Purchased Loans on any day which is not a Repurchase Date for such Purchased Loans, such Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from (a) the re-employment of funds obtained by Buyer to perform hereunder or from (b) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the remainder of the applicable thirty (30) day period. Buyer shall deliver to such Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith by Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon such Seller, absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 3(h) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Loans subject to Transactions hereunder.

(i) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of the Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Base Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on the Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Buyer, by an amount which the Buyer deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, such Seller shall promptly pay the Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

If the Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer or any corporation controlling the Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Buyer or such corporation (taking into consideration the Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Buyer to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate the Buyer for such reduction.

If the Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the related Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by the Buyer to the related Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Sellers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(f) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the related Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans and that the Purchased Loans are owned by the related Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by such Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) If at any time either (i) the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate MV Margin Amount for all such Transactions, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Loans for all Transactions is less than the aggregate Par Margin Amount for all such Transactions (either such event, a “Margin Deficit”), then the Buyer may, by notice to the related Seller, require such Seller in such Transactions to transfer to the Buyer cash or, at the Buyer’s option (and provided such Seller has additional Eligible Loans), additional Eligible Loans (“Additional Purchased Loans”) within one (1) Business Day of such notice by Buyer, so that both (x) the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans, including any such Additional Purchased Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate MV Margin Amount, and (y) the cash and unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loans, including any such Additional Purchased Loans and Purchased Loans, will therefore equal or exceed such aggregate Par Margin Amount (either requirement, a “Margin Call” ); provided that if such Seller transfers cash, Buyer shall deposit such cash into a non-interest bearing account until the next succeeding Repurchase Date.

(b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means provided in Section 21 hereof. Any notice given on a Business Day preceding the Margin Notice Deadline shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the same Business Day. Any notice given on a Business Day following the Margin Notice Deadline shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the following Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 6, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Sellers and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for any Seller.

7. INCOME PAYMENTS

Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Loan subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that the related Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received in respect of the Purchased Loans, whether by Buyer, Custodian or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise received by such Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Loans had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by Such Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by such Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date; provided further that such Seller shall hold all such Income in the Collection Account. Provided no Default has occurred, Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion), on the Repurchase Date following the date any Income is received by Buyer (or a servicer on its behalf) either (i) transfer (or permit the servicer to transfer) to the related Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction, or (ii) if a Margin Deficit then exists, apply the Income payment to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by such Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentences (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith the related Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Loans sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to such Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid.

8. SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a) Sellers and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Sellers’ performance of all of the Obligations, each Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) all Loans identified on a Transaction Notice delivered by such Seller to the Buyer and the Custodian from time to time, (ii) all related Loan Documents, including without limitation all promissory notes, and all Records, and any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to any such Loans, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, (iii) all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Loans and all claims and payments thereunder, (iv) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Loans or the related Mortgaged Property, (v) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements relating to any or all of the foregoing, (vi) any purchase agreements or other agreements or contracts relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, (vii) all purchase commitments or Take-Out Commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, (viii) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equivalent”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, (ix) such Seller’s interests under any Escrow Letters and Insured Closing Letters with respect to any Purchased Loans, (x) all interests in real property owned by each Seller or collateralizing any such Loans, and (xi) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”). Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest such Seller may have in the Purchased Loans and any other collateral granted to such Seller pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Buyer, and at the sole expense of the Sellers, the Sellers will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. The Sellers also hereby authorize the Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of the Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(c) No Seller shall (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 12(m) hereof, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given the Buyer at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to the Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as the Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(d) Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Seller and in the name of each Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Loans and the Purchased Items without such Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of such Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, such Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of such Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Loans and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Loans whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Loans;

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Loans to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Loans; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Loans; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Loans or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Loans; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Loans; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Loans as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Sellers’ joint and several expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Loans and the Purchased Items and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Sellers might do.

Each Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Each Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Loans.

(e) The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Loans and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) If any Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents and the Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by the Sellers to the Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(g) The Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of the related Seller or otherwise.

(h) All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

(b) Financial Condition. The Seller has heretofore furnished to the Buyer a copy of its audited consolidated balance sheets and the audited consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as at December 31, 2004 with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP, a copy of which has been provided to Buyer. The Seller has also heretofore furnished to the Buyer the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the one year period ending December 31, 2004, setting forth comparative form the figures for the previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Seller and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year ended on said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2004 there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event which has had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5 attached hereto, there are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or affecting any of the property thereof before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the aggregate there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and there is a reasonable likelihood of a Material Adverse Effect or adverse decision.

(d) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Program Documents, or (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the charter or by-laws of the Seller, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller, or any of its Subsidiaries, is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound or to which any of them or their property is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

(e) Action. The Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of each of the Program Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Program Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.

(j) No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Program Documents, the sales hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens created hereunder) on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

(k) Compliance with Law.

There is no fact known to a Responsible Officer that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Program Documents or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to the Buyer for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

19. REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(a) a) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (provided that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Sellers’ obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income then on deposit in the Collection Account and all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder; Sellers shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, Servicing Records and files relating to the Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction then in Sellers’ possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Loans and Servicing Rights thereon shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee.

(ii) Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Loans and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder. Sellers shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to Breakage Costs, costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

(iii) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of Sellers to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 21 hereof.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loan and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loan on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(v) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Sellers waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against the Buyer arising out of the exercise by the Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) Sellers hereby acknowledge, admit and agree that Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Sellers to which Sellers pledge their full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans and Additional Purchased Loans, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Sellers against all of Sellers’ obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(c) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of Sellers relating to the Purchased Loans and all documents relating to the Purchased Loans which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Sellers or any third party acting for Sellers and Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

(d) Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Loans to take such action with respect to the Purchased Loans as Buyer determines appropriate.

(e) Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder or by law to do. Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

(f) Buyer may, at its option, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Loans, and the Sellers shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Buyer relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including without limitation any losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements.

(g) In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Sellers.

Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Sellers hereby expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any right Sellers might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Sellers also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Sellers might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. Sellers recognize that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

Sellers shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Loans to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate), and Breakage Costs including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred within thirty (30) days of the Event of Default in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Loans, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

20. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document.

(d) The Sellers agree to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation. The Sellers further agrees to furnish to any Participant identified by the Buyer to the Sellers copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer hereunder, as and when delivered to the Buyer.

40. SINGLE AGREEMENT

Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

41. INTENT

Each Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the USC, and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC.

It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the USC.

42. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Sellers in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to a Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions or (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Interest Rate Protection Agreement hereunder or (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii) and (iv), Sellers shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer with prior written notice; provided further that in the case of (iv), the Sellers shall not file any of the Program Documents other than the Agreement with the SEC or state securities office unless Sellers shall have provided at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser time as may be demanded by the SEC or state securities office) prior written notice of such filing to Buyer; provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party shall file or otherwise disclose the Pricing Side Letter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

43. SERVICING

(a) The Sellers covenant to maintain or cause the servicing of the Loans to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, or (ii) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full, or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by the Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity.

(b) During the period any Seller is servicing the Loans, (i) such Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Loans (the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) such Seller grants the Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of such Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of such Seller to the Buyer. Each Seller covenants to and shall cause any Subservicer to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to the Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at the Buyer’s request. It is understood and agreed by the parties that prior to an Event of Default, the related Seller or any Subservicer, as applicable, shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Loans.

(c) If the Loans are serviced by any third party servicer (such third party servicer, the “Subservicer”) other than Cenlar FSB, the Sellers shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement with a properly executed Instruction Letter to the Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Purchase Date or the date on which the Subservicer shall begin subservicing the Loans, which shall be in the form and substance acceptable to Buyer (the “Servicing Agreement”) and shall have obtained the written consent of the Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Loans. Initially, the Subservicer shall be Cenlar FSB.

(d) The Sellers agrees that, in the event any Seller is servicing the Loans, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer may terminate such Seller in its capacity as servicer and terminate any Servicing Agreement and transfer such servicing to the Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer. In addition, the Sellers shall provide to the Buyer an Instruction Letter from the Seller to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer may cause the Seller to terminate any Subservicer or Servicing Agreement and direct that collections with respect to the Loans be remitted in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions. The Sellers agrees to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the transfer of servicing.

(e) After the Purchase Date, until the Repurchase Date, the Sellers will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Loan, and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repossess any Loan or substitute another Loan, except as provided in any Custodial Agreement.

(f) The Sellers shall permit the Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, the Sellers’ or their Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying the Buyer that the Sellers or their Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller shall use its best efforts to enable the Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

44. PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

The Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to the Seller, the Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller and/or the Custodian. The Sellers also shall make available to the Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer shall purchase Loans from the Sellers based solely upon the information provided by the Sellers to the Buyer in the Loan Data Transmission and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that the Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Loan. The Buyer may underwrite such Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. The Sellers agree to cooperate with the Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing the Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession, or under the control, of the Sellers. In addition, the Buyer has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of the Sellers, their Affiliates, directors, and their respective Subsidiaries and the officers, employees and significant shareholders thereof. The Sellers and Buyer further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 44 shall be paid by the Sellers.

45. SET-OFF

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, the Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Sellers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Sellers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other collateral, credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers. The Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by the Buyer or its Affiliates to Sellers or any of Sellers’ Affiliates against all of Sellers’ obligations or any of Seller’s Affiliates’ obligations to the Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller and any Affiliate of the Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to the Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Sellers after any such set-off and application made by the Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

46. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; CROSS-DEFAULT

The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that they are jointly and severally liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities of each of the Sellers hereunder and under the Program Documents. The Sellers further acknowledge and agree that any Default, Event of Default or breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by any Seller under this Agreement is hereby considered a Default, Event of Default or breach by each Seller.

47. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and the other Program Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

[Signature Page to Master Repurchase Agreement]

ANNEX I

BUYER ACTING AS AGENT

This Annex I forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of January 5, 2006, (the “Agreement”) among The New York Mortgage Company, LLC, New York Mortgage Funding, LLC, New York Mortgage Trust, Inc., and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. This Annex I sets forth the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which the Buyer selling assets or buying assets, as the case may be (“Agent”), in a Transaction is acting as agent for one or more third parties (each, a “Principal”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other Program Documents on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the other Program Documents and to perform the obligations of Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, under such Transactions, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it.

Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party, prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals for which it intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to time with the consent of the other party) and (b) to provide the other party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally agreeing to enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals prior to the close of business on such next business day or (ii) the other party shall determine in its sole discretion any Principal or Principals identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals, return to Agent any Purchased Loans or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to the other party any portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Loans, as the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) notify Agent of its determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction rejected by the other party, and such party shall remain entitled to any Price Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any obligation to provide it with confidential information regarding the financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will assist the other party in obtaining from Agent’s Principals such Information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other party may reasonably request.

Limitation of Agent’s Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I, are true and correct in all material respects during the term of any Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex I, then (a) Agent’s obligations under the Agreement shall not include a guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals; provided that Agent shall remain liable for performance pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement, and (b) the other party’s remedies shall not include a right of setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in other transactions in which Agent is acting as principal.

Annex. I -2

4.	Multiple Principals.

(a)

In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into on behalf of separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal. Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of a single Principal.

(b)

In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will provide the other party, together with the notice described in Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a Principal-by-Principal basis); and (iv) Buyer’s remedies under the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with the other party on behalf of each of its Principals.

(c)

In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent’s notice under Section 2(b) of this Annex I need only identify the names of its Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each Principal’s account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall, subject to any greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if all Principals were a single Buyer.

(d)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any Transactions by Agent on behalf of an employee benefit plan under ERISA shall be treated as Transactions on behalf of separate Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis).

Annex. I -3

Interpretation of Terms. All references to “Buyer” in the Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other provisions, the limitations on Agent’s liability in Section 3 of this Annex 1), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a “Buyer”, directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent’s Principal or Principals have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Buyer’s obligations to Seller, and for receipt of performance by Seller of its obligations to Buyer, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with transfers of Loans, securities, cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Agreement and all references to a “party” or “either party” in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly.

Annex. I -4

Schedule 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: RESIDENTIAL LOANS

Eligible Loans

As to each Purchased Loan that is secured by residential property and is subject to a Transaction hereunder (and the related Mortgage, Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), the related Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Loan is subject to a Transaction:

(a) Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Loan Schedule with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Payments Current. The first Monthly Payment shall have been made prior to the second scheduled Monthly Payment becoming due.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, 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. Neither any Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which the related Seller acquired the Loan has advanced funds (provided that any Loan which is a Negative Amortization Loan shall not be deemed to have 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 Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the 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 Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule.

(e) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated.

Sch 1A - 1

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan with respect to each first lien Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting 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 (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Seller. All premiums due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such 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 and is in full force and effect. 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, 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, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Buyer, and shall deliver to the Buyer, upon two Business Days’ request, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole-or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Loan to fail to satisfy the Underwriting Guidelines. 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 Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

Sch 1A - 2

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Loan Schedule and 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 condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, that a de minimus percentage of the Loans may be Cooperative Loans and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. Except for Mixed Use Loans, no portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

(j) Valid Lien. The Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Loan on the real property included in 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 and with respect to Cooperative Loans, including the Proprietary Lease and the Cooperative Shares. 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 prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the related 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 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 pledge and assign the same to the Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Loan 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 Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a 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 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 proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further 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; provided that a de minimus percentage of the Loans may have escrow holdbacks, as indicated on the related Loan Schedule. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the 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 Note or Mortgage.

Sch 1A - 3

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan.

Schedule 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: SMALL BALANCE COMMERCIAL LOANS

Eligible Loans

As to each Purchased Loan that is a Small Balance Commercial Loan and is subject to a Transaction hereunder (and the related Mortgage, Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), the related Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Loan is subject to a Transaction:

(a) Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the date set forth therein.

(b) Whole Loan; Ownership of Loans. Each Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. Immediately prior to the transfer to the Buyer, the Seller has good title to, and is the sole owner of, each Loan and has full right, power and authority to sell, transfer, pledge and assign each of the Loans to the Buyer free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, charges, security interests and/or other encumbrances. The Seller and each prior holder of the Loan, if any, was qualified and appropriately licensed (or was exempt from such qualification or license) to transact business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located at the time such entity had possession of the Note except where the failure to be qualified or licensed would not have a material adverse effect on the Loans. The sale of the Loans to the Buyer does not require the Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained. None of the Mortgage Loan Documents restricts the Seller’s right to transfer the Loan to the Buyer.

(c) Lien; Valid Assignment. No Loan is a second lien Loan. The Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Loan constitutes a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth below, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, except for (i) the lien for current real estate taxes and assessments not yet past due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy, (iii) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy, and (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the value or current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate operating income sufficient to service the Loan debt (the foregoing items (i) through (iv) being herein referred to as the “Permitted Encumbrances”). The related Assignment of Mortgage executed and delivered to the Custodian in blank, is otherwise in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, and, assuming that the assignee has the capacity to acquire such Mortgage, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Mortgage. Notwithstanding the fact that the Seller shall not be required to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements, such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreements, chattel mortgages or equivalent instruments, establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in this paragraph (c) above, enforceable security interest in favor of the holder thereof in all of the related Mortgagor’s personal property used in the operation of the related Mortgaged Property.

Sch 1B - 1

(d) Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of leases, rents and profits or similar document or instrument in connection with each Loan and executed by the related Mortgagor, assigning to the mortgagee all of the income, rents and profits derived from the ownership, operation leasing or disposition of all or a portion of each Mortgaged Property, in the form which was duly executed, acknowledged and delivered, and as amended, modified, renewed or extended through the date hereof and from time to time hereafter (each an “Assignment of Leases and Rents” ) establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (c) above, enforceable first priority collateral assignment in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, sub-leases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, subject to legal limitations of general applicability to mortgage loans similar to the Loans, and the Mortgagor and each assignor of such Assignment of Leases and Rents to the Seller have the full right to assign the same. Other than with respect to MERS Loans, the related assignment of any Assignment of Leases and Rents not included in a Mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or similar document that secures, in whole or in part, the related Mortgaged property and creates a Mortgage, has been executed and delivered to the Custodian in blank, is otherwise in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein (assuming that the assignee has the capacity to acquire such Assignment of Leases and Rents) all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment of Leases and Rents.

(e) Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. No Mortgage has been satisfied, cancelled, rescinded or (except for Permitted Encumbrances) subordinated in whole or in part, and the related Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of such Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination (except for Permitted Encumbrances), rescission or release, in any manner that, in each case, materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgaged Property except for any partial reconveyances of real property that are included in the related Mortgage File. None of the terms of any Note, Mortgage or Assignment of Leases and Rents has been impaired, waived, altered or modified, in each case in any material respect. Any non-material waivers, alterations or modifications with respect to any Loan are evidenced by written instruments, all of which are included in the related Mortgage File.

(f) Condition of Property; Condemnation. The Mortgaged Property for each Loan is in good repair and condition and free of any structural deficiencies or deferred maintenance that would influence the originator’s decision to originate any such Loan or the Buyer’s decision to purchase such Loan.

As of the date of its origination, there was no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of any related Mortgaged Property that materially affects the value thereof, there is no pending proceeding for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property that materially affects the value thereof. To the best of Seller’s knowledge (based on surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the Loans), as of the date of the origination of each Loan, all of the material improvements on the related Mortgaged Property that were considered in determining the value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries of such property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to herein or that do not materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties materially encroached upon such Mortgaged Property so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property, except those encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein.

(g) Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is covered by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form of) lender’s title insurance policy or pro forma policy (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of the related Loan after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures the Seller and its successors and assigns that the related Mortgage is a valid first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances stated therein (or a marked up title insurance commitment or pro forma policy marked as binding and counter-signed by the title insurer or its authorized agent on which the required premium has been paid exists which evidences that such Title Policy will be issued). Each Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid, no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller nor any prior holder under the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. The insurer issuing such Title Policy is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. Such Title Policy contains no exclusions for or affirmatively insures (other than in jurisdictions where affirmative insurance is unavailable), (i) access to public roads, and (ii) against material losses due to encroachments of any part of the building thereon over easements.

With respect to each Loan, any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose that were to have been complied with on or before the related Purchase Date have been complied with, or any such funds so escrowed have not been released. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund or any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Note or Mortgage.

(i) Mortgage Provisions. The Note or Mortgage for each Loan, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions (subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (c) above), including foreclosure, such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby. The related Mortgage Loan Documents provide for the appointment of a receiver of rents following an event of default under such Mortgage Loan Documents, to the extent available under applicable law.

(j) Trustee under Deed of Trust. If any Mortgage is a deed of trust, (a) a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such Mortgage, and (b) no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee by the Seller, the Buyer or any transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for the related Loan.

(k) Environmental Conditions. Each Loan will be covered by an environmental insurance policy issued by Zurich American Insurance Company or a comparable insurance company acceptable to the Buyer in its reasonable discretion. Such insurance policy shall cover losses resulting from an environmental condition on a Mortgaged Property after the default of the related Mortgagor and the insured amount under each such insurance policy, in the aggregate, will be at least equal to 125% of the aggregate principal balance of all Loans financed by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the originator has obtained an environmental site assessment meeting ASTM standards and assessing all hazards generally assessed for similar properties (as of the date of such assessment), including type, use and tenants for such similar properties (“Environmental Report”) or a Phase I and/or Phase II environmental report with respect to any Mortgaged Property in connection with the origination of any Loan, the Seller shall provide such reports to the Buyer.

With respect to each Mortgaged Property for which an Environmental Report was prepared, other than as disclosed in such Environmental Report, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, (X) no Hazardous Material is present on such Mortgaged Property, such that (1) the value, use or operations of such Mortgaged Property is materially and adversely affected, or (2) under applicable federal, state or local law and regulations, (i) such Hazardous Material could be required to be eliminated, remediated or otherwise responded to at a cost or in a manner materially and adversely affecting the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property before such Mortgaged Property could be altered, renovated, demolished or transferred or (ii) the presence of such Hazardous Material could (upon action by the appropriate governmental authorities) subject the owner of such Mortgaged Property, or the holders of a security interest therein, to liability for the cost of eliminating, remediating or otherwise responding to such Hazardous Material or the hazard created thereby at a cost or in a manner materially and adversely affecting the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property, and (Y) such Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials or environmental hazards, any noncompliance with such laws or regulations does not have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of such Mortgaged Property and neither the Seller nor, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgagor or any current tenant thereon, has received any notice of any violation or potential violation of any such law or regulation. With respect to any condition disclosed in the Environmental Report, which condition constituted a violation of applicable laws or regulations or would materially and adversely affect the value, use or operations of the related Mortgaged Property if not remedied, such condition has either been satisfactorily remedied, consistent with prudent multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lending practices (as applicable), or the applicable loan documents contain provisions which address such condition to the satisfaction of the Seller, consistent with prudent multi-family, commercial and or mixed-use mortgage lending practices (as applicable), and adequate funding or resources, consistent with prudent multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lending practices (as applicable), were available to remedy or otherwise respond to such condition.

Sch 1B - 3

Each Mortgage requires the related Mortgagor to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.

“Hazardous Materials” means gasoline, petroleum products, explosives, radioactive materials, polychlorinated biphenyls or related or similar materials, and any other substance, material or waste as may be defined as a hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste by a federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order, including without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. §§ 1801 et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq.), the Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq.), and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

(l) Loan Document Status. Each Note, Mortgage and other agreement that evidences or secures such Loan and that was executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except with respect to provisions relating to default interest, yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset or rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to such Note, Mortgage or other agreements.

(m) Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is required (or the holder of the Mortgage can require) pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, and at origination the originator received evidence that such Mortgaged Property was, insured by (i) a fire and extended perils insurance policy providing coverage against loss or damage sustained by reason of fire, lightning, hail, windstorm (except with respect to the Loans set forth in a written notice to the Buyer upon the Buyer’s request), explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of origination by the originator of such Loan consistent with its normal multi-family, commercial or mixed use mortgage lending practices (as applicable), against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance of the related Loan and the replacement cost of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and with no provisions for a deduction for depreciation in respect of awards for the reconstruction of the improvements, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and (ii) a flood insurance policy (if any portion of buildings or other structures (excluding parking) on the Mortgaged Property are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (which “special flood hazard area” does not include areas designated by FEMA as Zones B, C or X)). With respect to each Mortgaged Property, such Mortgaged Property is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be (or the holder of the Mortgage can require that the Mortgaged Property be), and at origination the originator received evidence that such Mortgaged Property was, insured by a multi-family, commercial or mixed use general liability insurance policy (as applicable) in amounts as are generally required by multi-family, commercial or mixed use mortgage lenders (as applicable) for similar properties, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence. Under such insurance policies either (i) the originator and its successors and assigns is named as mortgagee under a standard mortgagee clause or (ii) the originator and its successors and assigns is named as an additional insured, and is entitled to receive prior notice as the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation. No such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain or cause to be maintained all such insurance and, upon such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain or to cause to be maintained such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Each Loan provides that casualty insurance proceeds will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or to the reduction of the principal amount of the Loan. Each Mortgage provides that any related insurance proceeds, other than for a total loss or taking, will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by the mortgagee having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lender(as applicable)), or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, and any insurance proceeds in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking may be applied either to payment of outstanding principal and interest on the Loan (except as otherwise provided by law) or to rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property.

Sch 1B - 4

(n) Taxes and Assessments and Ground Lease Rents. There are no delinquent taxes, assessments or other outstanding charges affecting any Mortgaged Property that are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall be considered delinquent commencing from the date on which interest or penalties would be first payable thereon. There are no delinquent rents on any ground leases for any Mortgaged Property.

(o) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. No Mortgagor is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and no Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof is subject to a plan in any such proceeding.

(p) Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee simple estate in real estate (the “Fee Interest”) or the related Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of the related Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of the Mortgaged Property (a “Ground Lease”), and if secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, either (1) the ground lessor’s fee interest is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage and the Mortgage will not be subject to any lien or encumbrances on the ground lessor’s fee interest, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and the holder of the Mortgage is permitted to foreclose the ground lessor’s fee interest within a commercially reasonable time period or (2) the following apply to such Ground Lease:

Sch 1B - 5

1. Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between the originator and related lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by the lessee or its permitted successors and assigns in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File;

2. The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the ground lessor’s related fee interest and Permitted Encumbrances;

3. The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but (except in the case where such consent cannot be unreasonably withheld) without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by the Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor (except in the case where such consent cannot be unreasonably withheld);

4. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Seller has received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder, and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;

5. Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any material default by the lessee to the mortgagee (concurrent with notice given to the lessee), provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease, and such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, further provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the mortgagee unless a copy has been delivered to the mortgagee. The Seller has provided the lessor under the Ground Lease with notice of the Seller’s lien on the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease;

6. A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease by reason of such default;

7. Such Ground Lease has an original term, along with any extensions set forth in such Ground Lease, not less than 10 years beyond the full amortization term of the Loan;

Sch 1B - 6

8. Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds, other than for a total loss or taking, will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by the mortgagee having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lender (as applicable)), or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, and any insurance proceeds in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking may be applied either to payment of outstanding principal and interest on the Loan (except as otherwise provided by law) or to rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property;

9. Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed, as of the date of origination of the related Loan, as commercially unreasonable by the Seller; and such Ground Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of the lessee, or in any manner, which would materially and adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

10. Such Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with the Seller or its successors or assigns under terms which do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease, in the event of a termination of the Ground Lease by reason of a default by the Mortgagor under the Ground Lease, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding; and

11. Such Ground Lease may not be materially amended, modified or, except in the case of a default, cancelled or terminated without the prior written consent of the holder of the Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such holder, including any increase in the amount of rent payable by the lessee thereunder during the term of the Loan.

(q) Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments relating to each Loan that are required to be deposited or paid have been so deposited or paid, and those escrow deposits and payments are under control of the Seller or its agents.

(r) No Fraud. In the origination and servicing of the Loan, neither the Seller nor any Affiliate thereof participated in any fraud or intentional material misrepresentation with respect to the Loan. No Mortgagor is guilty of defrauding or making a material misrepresentation to the Seller with respect to the origination of the Loan.

(s) Advancement of Funds by the Seller. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property (or any tenant required to make its lease payments directly to the holder of the related Loan), directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Loan.

(t) No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date the Loan was originated and as of the related Purchase Date, each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein, or, if any such liens existing as of the related Purchase Date are not insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein, such liens will not have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged Property.

Sch 1B - 7

(u) Compliance With Laws. On the date of its origination, each Loan complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination, funding and servicing of such Loan and assuming the Mortgage Interest Rate effective on the date of origination remains constant throughout the life of the Loan, the Loan complied with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations or other requirements pertaining to usury.

(v) Cross-collateralization. No Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any loan other than one or more other Loans.

(w) Releases of Mortgaged Property. No Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property that was included in the valuation for such Mortgaged Property, and/or generates income, from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under the related Loan, or upon satisfaction of the defeasance provisions of such Loan, other than the Loans that require the mortgagee to grant a release of a portion of the related Mortgaged Property upon (i) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements where the portion of the related Mortgaged Property permitted to be released was not considered by the originator to be material in underwriting the Loan or, in the case of a substitution, where the Mortgagor is entitled to substitute a replacement parcel at its unilateral option upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, and/or (ii) the payment of a release price and prepayment consideration in connection therewith, consistent with the Seller’s normal multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lending practices (as applicable) (and in both (i) and (ii), any release of the Mortgaged Property has been reflected in the Loan Schedule). Except as described in the prior sentence (other than with respect to defeasance and substitution), no Loan permits the full or partial release or substitution of collateral unless (i) the mortgagor is entitled to substitute a replacement parcel at its unilateral option upon satisfaction of specified conditions, and (ii) the mortgagee or servicer can require the Mortgagor to provide an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that such release or substitution of collateral (x) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Loan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.1001-3 and (y) would not cause such Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code. The loan documents with respect to each Loan that permits the full or partial release or substitution of collateral require the related Mortgagor to bear the cost of such opinion.

(x) No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. No Loan is a negative amortization mortgage loan, contains any equity participation or provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property. Neither the Seller nor any Affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to the Mortgagor under the Loan or otherwise.

(y) No Material Default. Other than payments due but not yet 60 or more days delinquent (and only to the extent past due Loans are permitted in the definition of Eligible Loan), there exists no material default, breach, violation or event giving the lender the right to accelerate the Loan (and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute any of the foregoing) under the documents evidencing or securing the Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely affects the value of the Loan and the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of such documents and under the terms of each Loan, each related Note, each related Mortgage and the other Mortgage Loan Documents, no person or party other than the mortgagee may declare an event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under such Loan, Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

Sch 1B - 8

(z) Local Law Compliance. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, based on due diligence performed by the originator at origination that would be considered reasonable by prudent multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lenders (as applicable) in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property comply with applicable zoning laws and ordinances, or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure or, if any such improvement does not so comply, such non-compliance does not materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property, such value as determined by the appraisal or internal or external market study performed at origination. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required in connection with the origination of any Loan with respect to the 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.

(aa) Junior Liens. Except as otherwise approved by the prior written consent of the Buyer, none of the Mortgage Loans permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered by any lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage.

(bb) Actions Concerning Loans. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator concerning any Loan, Mortgagor or related Mortgaged Property that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect title to the Mortgaged Property or the validity or enforceability of the related Mortgage or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and no such actions, suites or proceedings are pending before any court, and/or agency or arbitrator.

(cc) Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Servicer or any prior holder or servicer of each Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper and prudent and have met customary industry standards utilized by multi-family, commercial or mixed-use mortgage lending institutions (as applicable) in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located. The servicer of such Loan has not assessed the Mortgagor any delinquent payment fees that are not specifically prescribed in the Mortgage or Note, including but not limited to demand letter charges, or assessed the Mortgagor interest on any advances made by the servicer.

(dd) Licenses and Permits. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, based on due diligence that the originator customarily performs in the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the date of origination of each Loan, and to the best of Seller’s knowledge, based on servicing procedures customarily performed in the Servicer’s servicing of the Loans, the related Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged Property as it was then operated.

(ee) Collateral in Trust. The Note for each Loan is not secured by a pledge of any collateral that has not been assigned to the Buyer.

(ff) Due on Sale/Due on Encumbrance. Each Loan contains a “due on sale” clause, which provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan if, without prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage, the property subject to the Mortgage or any material portion thereof, is transferred, sold or encumbered by a junior mortgage or deed of trust; provided, however, that certain Loans provide a mechanism for the assumption of the loan by a third party upon the Mortgagor’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, and upon payment of a transfer fee, if any, or transfer of interests in the Mortgagor or constituent entities of the Mortgagor to a third party or parties related to the Mortgagor upon the Mortgagor’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

Sch 1B - 9

(gg) Recourse. Subject to the requirements and restrictions of governing law, each Loan with an original principal balance less than $1,000,000 provides for full recourse to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor. Each Loan with an original principal balance greater than $1,000,000 provides for recourse to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor of $1,000,000. Either the Mortgagor or a guarantor with respect to each Loan is a natural person.

(hh) Underwriting Policies. Each Loan was either originated, purchased, acquired or arranged by the originator thereof, and each such origination, purchase, acquisition or arrangement of such Loan substantially complied in all material respects with the Loan Underwriting Guidelines in effect as of such Loan’s origination date.

(ii) REMIC Eligibility. Each Loan is a “qualified mortgage” as such term is defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2), which treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages). Each Mortgaged Property will qualify as foreclosure property within the meaning of Section 856(e) of the Code if obtained by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

(jj) Property Appraisal. Each Loan will contain an appraisal, which appraisal is signed by an appraiser, who, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made or the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Loan. Each appraisal of the Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. Such appraisal conforms to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice guidelines. For each Loan with an original principal balance greater than $1,000,000, the Seller has provided a full self-contained report written in summary format including three valuation approaches and for each Loan with an original principal balance less than $1,000,000, the Seller has provided either a full self-contained report written in summary format including three valuation approaches or a report in summary form prepared in the standard ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac format (FHLMC Form 71(B)) or form UCIAR-EP 7/90.

(kk) Yield Maintenance Premium. Subject to the requirements and restrictions of governing law, each yield maintenance premium is consistent with that charged by the Seller in its customary lending practices with respect to mortgage loans of the size and character of the Loans.

(ll) Loan Provisions. No Loan contains a provision that by its terms would automatically or at the unilateral option of the Mortgagor cause such Loan not be a “qualified mortgage” as such term is defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

(mm) Defeasance and Assumption Costs. If the related Mortgage Loan Documents provide for defeasance, such documents provide that the related Mortgagor is responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with the defeasance of such Loan and the release of the related Mortgaged Property. The related Mortgage Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Buyer associated with the approval of an assumption of such Loan.

(nn) Defeasance. No Loan provides that it can be defeased prior to the date that is two years after the related origination date.

(oo) Confidentiality. There are no provisions in any Note, Mortgage or related loan documents with respect to any Loan, nor any other agreements or enforceable understandings with any Mortgagor, Mortgagor principal or guarantor, which restrict the dissemination of information regarding any Mortgagor, Mortgagor principal, guarantor or Mortgaged Property by the owner or holder of the Loan or requires such owner or holder to treat any information regarding any Mortgagor, Mortgagor principal, guarantor or Mortgaged Property as confidential; provided, however that state ad federal laws may specifically limit the use and/or dissemination of such information.

Sch 1B - 10

(pp) Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property contains one or more separate tax lots (or will constitute separate tax lots when the next tax maps are issued) or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy.

(qq) Status of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of he Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.

(rr) Assignment of Mortgage. Other than with respect to MERS Loans, the related Assignment of Mortgage executed and delivered to the Custodian in blank, is otherwise in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, and, assuming that the assignee has the capacity to acquire such Mortgage, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Mortgage. The endorsement of the Note is valid, legal and enforceable under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(ss) Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act or similar state laws.

(tt) No Construction or Rehabilitation Loans. No Loan was made in connection with (A) the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (B) facilitating the trade in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

(vv) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

Litigation

▇▇▇▇▇ v. The New York Mortgage Company, LLC, No.: 05-C-4774 (United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois).

Plaintiff has filed this purported class action against The New York Mortgage Company, LLC (“NYMC”) alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. (“FCRA”). Plaintiff asserts that an NYMC mailing sent to him offering an FHA streamline refinance loan violated FCRA in two respects. First, plaintiff contends that the mailing failed to constitute a “firm offer of credit” under section 1681b of FCRA because it did not contain specific terms. Second, plaintiff asserts that the mailing did not contain the “clear and conspicuous” disclosures mandated by section 1681m of FCRA regarding a consumer’s ability to prohibit the use of credit information in a transaction not initiated by the consumer.

NYMC has moved to dismiss plaintiff’s Complaint on the ground that there is no longer a private right of action under section 1681m of FCRA that requires “clear and conspicuous” disclosures. As to the section 1681b claim that NYMC’s offer was not a “firm offer of credit,” given the specialized type of loan product involved, New York Mortgage asserts that the offer letter was sufficiently detailed for purposes of FCRA. NYMC has retained the Washington, DC law firm of Weiner ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ PC, experts in the areas of regulatory compliance and consumer class action defense, to handle this litigation. The motion to dismiss has been fully briefed and is currently pending before the Court. Because this case is still in its early stages, we are unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or estimate the potential financial exposure to NYMC, if any.

It is not possible for the Sellers to determine with certainty whether the legal proceedings listed above are or will be material to the Sellers. By disclosing these legal proceedings on this Schedule, the Sellers do not intend to imply, and are not admitting, that the legal proceedings are in fact material legal proceedings within the meaning of Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the federal securities laws or SEC Staff Accounting Release 99.

Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as counsel to New York Mortgage Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, The New York Mortgage Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company and New York Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (collectively, the “Sellers”), with respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2006 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Sellers and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the “Buyer”), being executed contemporaneously with a Custodial Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2006 (the “Custodial Agreement”), by and among the Sellers, LaSalle Bank, National Association (the “Custodian”), and the Buyer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

[We] [I] have examined the following documents:

1. the Agreement;

2. Custodial Agreement;

3. Pricing Side Letter;

4. the Amended and Restated Electronic Tracking Agreement;

5. the Servicing Agreement;

6. the Servicing Side Letter [insert other agreements]; and

7. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

Documents 1 through [6] above shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Program Documents”. To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:

[Opinions to be rendered for each Seller]

12. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of [state] and is qualified to transact business in, duly licensed and is in good standing under, the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Loan and the servicing of each Loan pursuant to the Agreement.

C-1

13. The Seller has the corporate power to engage in the transactions contemplated by each of the Program Documents and the Custodial Agreement and all requisite corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver each of the Program Documents and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. The Seller has all requisite corporate power to enter into Transactions under the Agreement and to grant a security interest in the Purchased Items pursuant to the Agreement.

14. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of each of the Program Documents, and the sale by the Seller of the Purchased Items under the Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller. Each of the Program Documents have been executed and delivered by the Seller and are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against the Seller, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Buyer’s security interest in the Loans.

15. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required on the part of the Seller for the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of any of the Program Documents or for the borrowings by the Seller under the Agreement or the granting of a security interest to the Buyer in the Purchased Items, pursuant to the Agreement.

16. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by each of the Program Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Seller’s charter or by-laws, (b) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Seller of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of the Seller pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

17. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against the Seller which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the properties, business or financial condition, or prospects 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 any of the Program Documents or the Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of any of the Program Documents or the Loans.

C-2

18. The Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Buyer, a valid security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items as collateral security for the payment of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Agreement), except that (a) such security interests will continue in the Purchased Items after their sale, exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-306 of the Uniform Commercial Code, (b) the security interests in Purchased Items in which the Seller acquires rights after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Seller may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.

19. When the Notes are delivered to the Custodian, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of the Seller, the security interest referred to in paragraph 7 above in the Notes will constitute a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Seller therein, in the Loan evidenced thereby and in the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

(a) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Buyer as “Secured Party” and the Seller as “Debtor”, and describing the Purchased Items, in the jurisdictions and recording offices listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, the security interests referred to in paragraph 8 above will constitute fully perfected security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items, which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) The UCC Search Report sets forth the proper filing offices and the proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons who have on file in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 1 financing statements covering the Filing Collateral as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. Except for the matters listed on Schedule 2, the UCC Search Report identifies no Person who has filed in any Filing Office a financing statement describing the Filing Collateral prior to the effective dates of the UCC Search Report.

20. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Seller is not subject to any Federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness.

21. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located.

22. The Seller is duly registered as a [____________] in each state in which Loans were originated to the extent such registration is required by applicable law, and has obtained all other licenses and governmental approvals in each jurisdiction to the extent that the failure to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any Loan unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform any of its obligations under, or the enforceability of, the Program Documents.

C-3

23. Assuming that all other elements necessary to render a Loan legal, valid, binding and enforceable were present in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of each Loan (including completion of the entire Loan fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations) and assuming further that no action was taken in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of each Loan (including in connection with the sale of the related Mortgaged Property) that would give rise to a defense to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such Loan, nothing in the forms of such Loans, as attached hereto as Exhibit A, would render such Loans other than legal, valid, binding and enforceable.

24. Assuming their validity, binding effect and enforceability in all other respects (including completion of the entire Loan fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations), the forms of Loans attached hereto as Exhibit A are in sufficient compliance with ________ law and Federal consumer protection laws so as not to be rendered void or voidable at the election of the Mortgagor thereunder.

25. The Agreement is a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(47) and 741(7), and the rights of the Buyer contained in Section 9 thereof to setoff mutual debts and claims, and in Section 35 thereof to liquidate, terminate and accelerate the Agreement, in the event of the bankruptcy of the Seller will not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by operation of any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or by order of a court or administrative agency in any proceeding thereunder, including without limitation the automatic stay provisions of Bankruptcy Code Section 362(a) pursuant to Sections 362(b)[(6) and] (7) thereof.
