SECTION 30. INTENT

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Mortgage Loans subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(b) It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

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

(b) Payments Current. Except with respect to Delinquent Mortgage Loans, all payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, governmental assessments, municipal charges, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Sch. 1-1

modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor of any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

You have requested our opinion as counsel to HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Seller”), with respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Repurchase Agreement governing purchases and sales of certain Mortgage Loans, dated February 27, 2002 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and between the Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Buyer”) and that certain Custodial Agreement, dated February 27, 2002 by and between the Buyer, the Seller LaSalle Bank, National Association. The Master Repurchase Agreement and the Custodial Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Governing Agreement.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Repurchase Agreement.

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

the Repurchase Agreement;

the Custodial Agreement;

unfiled copies of each financing statements listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Financing Statements”) naming the Seller as Debtor and the Buyer as Secured Party and describing the Repurchase Assets (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) as to which security interests may be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code of the States listed on Schedule 1 (the “Filing Collateral”), which I understand will be filed in the filing offices listed on Schedule 1 (the “Filing Offices”);

the reports listed on Schedule 2 as to UCC financing statements (collectively, the “UCC Search Report”);

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

To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Repurchase Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me [us] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

Exh. II-1

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

1. HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of the [State of _________].

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Governing Agreements to which it is a party, and the sales by the Seller and the pledge of the Repurchase Assets under the Repurchase Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller. Each of the Governing Agreements 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 purchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or security interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

3. 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 such party of the Governing Agreements to which it is a party or for the sales by the Seller under the Repurchase Agreement or the sale of the Repurchase Assets to the Buyer and/or granting of a security interest to the Buyer in the Repurchase Assets, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Governing Agreements to which it is a party 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 [we] 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, of (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of such party pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

5. 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 such party or in any material impairment of the right or ability of such party to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of such party or which would draw into question the validity of the Governing Agreements to which it is a party or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or

Exh. II-2

which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of such party to perform under the terms of the Governing Agreements to which it is a party or the Mortgage Loans.

6. The Repurchase Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Buyer, either a valid sale of the Repurchase Assets to the Buyer or 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 Repurchase Assets as collateral security for the payment of the Seller’s obligations under the Repurchase Agreement, except that (a) such security interests will continue in Repurchase Assets after its sale, exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-306 of the Uniform Commercial Code, (b) the security interests in Repurchase Assets 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.

7. When the Purchased Mortgage Loans are delivered to the Buyer, the security interest referred to in Section 6 above in the Mortgage Loans will constitute a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Seller therein.

8. (a) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 with respect to the Seller naming the Buyer as “Secured Party” and the Seller as a “Debtor”, and describing the Repurchase Assets, in the jurisdictions and recording offices listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, the security interests referred to in Section 6 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 Repurchase Assets, which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code, or, will demonstrate a completion of the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Buyer.

(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 Repurchase Assets as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. The UCC Search Report identifies no Person who has filed in any Filing Office a financing statement describing the Repurchase Assets prior to the effective dates of the UCC Search Report.

9. The Seller is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Very truly yours,
