upon request, furnish proof of such coverage at or before the first
Settlement and, upon request, annually thereafter.
(i) Ability to Perform; Solvency. Seller does not believe, nor
----------------------------
does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each

Section 4.2 Representations and Warranties of Seller Regarding the Offered
--------------------------------------------------------------
Loans. With respect to each Notice of Availability, Seller and any of its
-----
Affiliates represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the corresponding Notice
Date:
(a) Accuracy of Statements. The information contained in the
----------------------
Offered Loan Schedule and all information provided regarding delinquencies
in the Offered Loans are true and correct in all respects. Neither the
Offered Loan Schedule nor the Mortgage File nor any other document
furnished in connection with this transaction contains any untrue statement
of fact by Seller or its Affiliates, or omits to state a fact, necessary to
make the statements of Seller or its Affiliates contained therein not
misleading.
(b) Origination. Each of the Offered Loans was originated or
-----------
acquired (i) by the Seller either directly or indirectly through loan
brokers or a correspondent lender specifically approved by the Seller, such
that (A) the Offered Loan was originated in conformity with the
underwriting standards of Seller set forth in Schedule 4.2(b) (A) to this
-------------------
Agreement and were underwritten in strict accordance therewith, (B) the
Seller approved the Offered Loan either prior to or after the funding

to origination and was purchased by the Seller from such correspondent
lender within thirty (30) days of the date of origination pursuant to a
mandatory purchase commitment in effect at origination, (ii) by a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, or (iii) by a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an
insurance company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined
by a Federal or State authority. The Note, the Mortgage and all other
documents contained in the Legal Files are on FNMA or FHLMC uniform
instruments or are on forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. The documents,
instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not
falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact and do not omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the information and statements therein not misleading. Seller has not made
any representations to the Obligor that are inconsistent with the mortgage
instruments used.
(c) Genuineness of Signatures. Each of the documents in the Legal
-------------------------
File is genuine and contains genuine signatures. Each document that Buyer
requires to be an
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 13
original document is an original document. All certified copies of original
documents are true copies and meet the applicable requirements and
specifications of this Agreement and any other requirements that Buyer has
reasonably made of Seller.
Section 4.3 Representations and Warranties of Seller Regarding the Loans.
------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to each Loan, Seller represents and warrants to, and covenants with
Buyer that, as of the Settlement Date on which such Loan is sold:
(a) Title to Loans. Seller has good title to and is the sole owner
--------------
of record and holder of the Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each
Note. Unless otherwise disclosed in the Note or the Mortgage or on the
Offered Loan Schedule, Seller is the original mortgagee or assignee of the
Mortgage, and there has been no more than one prior assignment and no sale
or hypothecation by Seller of the Loan. The Loan is not assigned or
pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto,
and has full right to transfer and sell the Loan to Buyer free and clear
of any encumbrance, equity interest, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other
party, to sell and assign each Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and
following the sale of each Loan, Buyer will own such Loan free and clear of
any encumbrance, equity interest, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest.
(b) Accuracy of the Loan Schedule. The Loan is as described in the
-----------------------------
Loan Schedule delivered by Seller to Buyer, and the information contained
in the Loan Schedule is true and correct as of the Settlement Date.
(c) Payments. As of the Settlement Date, no Loan is thirty (30) or
--------
more days delinquent (determined on a contractual basis), no Loan will have
been thirty (30) or more days delinquent (determined on a contractual
basis) more than once during the twelve (12) months preceding the
Settlement Date, and the first Monthly Payment has been made, or shall be
made, as the case may be, with respect to the Loan on its Due Date.
(d) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying
----------------------
with the terms of the Mortgage. 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. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced or
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the Obligor, 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 Loan proceeds, whichever occurred later, to the
day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first Monthly Payment.
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 14
(e) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note and the
-------------------------
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if
necessary to protect the interests of Buyer. The substance of any such
waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer,
to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the
Loan Schedule. No Obligor 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 the policy, and which assumption agreement is part
of the Legal File.
(f) Absence of Defenses. The Loan and the Note are not subject to
-------------------
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense (including the
defense of usury), based on the invalidity or unenforceability of the Note
and/or Mortgage or on any conduct of Seller or any of its officers,
employees, representatives, Affiliates or assignors in originating or
servicing the Loan prior to the Settlement Date, nor will the operation of
any of the terms of the Loan or the Note, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Loan or the Note unenforceable, in whole or in part,
or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim , or defense
(including the defense of usury) based on any such invalidity,
unenforceability or conduct. No right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim,
or defense with respect thereto has been asserted to Seller or, to Seller's
knowledge, has been asserted to any other person and no Obligor was a
debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the
time the Loan was originated.
(g) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
----------------
improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer
acceptable to FNMA against loss by fire and such other risks as are usually
insured against in the broad form of extended coverage hazard insurance
available from time to time, including flood hazards if upon origination of
the Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and if flood insurance was required by federal regulation and such
flood insurance has been made available). All such insurance policies
(collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") meet the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, conform to the
requirements of the FNMA Seller's Guide and the FNMA Servicers' Guide, and
are a standard policy of insurance for the locale where the Mortgaged
Property is located. The amount of the insurance is at least in the amount
of the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property on a replacement
cost basis or the unpaid balance of the Loan, whichever is less. The hazard
insurance policy names (and will name) the Obligor as the insured and
contains a standard mortgagee loss payable clause in favor of Seller (or
Seller's servicer) and its successors and assigns. The Mortgage obligates
the Obligor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the
Obligor's cost and expense, and on the Obligor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
at such Obligor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from
the Obligor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Obligor has
been given an opportunity to
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 15
choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance policy, provided the
policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a
condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities
of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and
binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will
be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Buyer upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has
not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Obligor's or any subservicer's
having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of
any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or
the validity and binding effect of either. In connection with the issuance
of the hazard insurance policy, no unlawfil fee, commission, kickback or
other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or
entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized
by Seller.
(h) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of
-------------------------------
any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the
Loan have been complied with, and the Seller shall maintain in its
possession available for the Buyer's inspection, and shall deliver to the
Buyer upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
violation of any such laws or regulations.
(i) No Satisfaction of Mortgage or Note. Neither the Mortgage nor
-----------------------------------
the Note has 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. Seller has not waived the performance by the Obligor of any
action, if the Obligor's failure to perform such action would cause the
Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any
action or inaction by the Obligor.
(j) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged
---------------------------------------
Property consists of a parcel of real property with a single family
residence erected thereon, or a two to four-family dwelling, or an
individual condominium unit in a low -rise or high-rise condominium
project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development. The Mortgaged
Property is either a fee simple estate or a long-term residential lease. If
the Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, (A) the terms of such
lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the
assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent (or the lessor's
consent has been obtained and such consent is in the Mortgage File) and the
acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon
foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure to provide the holder of
the Mortgage with substantially similar protection; (B) the terms of such
lease do not (i) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default
without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice
of, and
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 16
opportunity to cure, such default, (ii) allow the termination of the lease
in the event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in
existence or (iii) prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured
under the hazard insurance policy relating to the Mortgaged Property; (C)
the original term of such lease is not less than fifteen (15) years; (D)
the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five (5) years after
the maturity date of the Note; and (E) the Mortgaged Property is located in
a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates for residential
properties is a widely accepted practice.
(k) Valid Lien. The Mortgage for any Loan creates a valid,
----------
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property,
and includes all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations
and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien
of the Mortgage is subject only to "Permitted Exceptions," which consist of
the following:
(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 referred to or
otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the
Loan; 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 established and created a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority
security interest on the property described therein, and Seller has full
right to sell and assign the same to Buyer.
(1) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and
------------------------------
every other agreement, if any, executed and delivered by the Obligor in
connection with the 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 each other such related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and
deliver the Note, the Mortgage and each other such related agreement, and
the Note, the Mortgage and each other such related agreement have been duly
and properly executed by the respective Obligors. Seller has reviewed all
of the documents constituting the Mortgage
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 17
File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm
the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The documents,
instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not
falsified by any party and contain no untrue statement of material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud was
committed by any party in connection with the origination of the Loan.
(m) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Loan has been closed and
-----------------------------
the proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as
to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Obligor is not entitled to any
refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage.
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
--------------
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during
the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws
of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2)(a) organized
under the laws of such state, or (b) qualified to do business in such
state, or (c) federal savings and loan associations, savings banks, or
national banks having principal offices in such state, or (d) not doing
business in such state.
(o) LTV. The Loan to Value Ratio for each Loan was no greater than
---
90%.
(p) Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (a) an
---------------
attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of
which is acceptable to FNMA, or (b) an ALTA lender's title insurance policy
or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance issued by a title
insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the
first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the
Loan, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and against any loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage
Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender's title
insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
Where required by state law or regulation, the Obligor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of such lender's title insurance policy.
Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds (except in the
case of a joint protection policy, in which case the Seller's interest is
insured) of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title
insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be
in full force and effect upon the sale of the Loan to Buyer. No claims
have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior
holder of the Mortgage,
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 18
including Seller, has done anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy. In connection with the issuance of such
lender's title insurance policy, 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 attomey, firm or other person or
entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized
by Seller.
(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event
-----------
of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note or related
documents and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor
its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens
-------------------
or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights
are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal
or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
------------------------------------------
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of
the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation; provided, that in no event shall a legal non-conforming use of
the Mortgaged Property be considered a violation of any such zoning law or
regulation.
(t) Payment Terms. For Fixed Rate Loans, the Note is payable on
-------------
the first day of each month in equal monthly installments (other than the
last payment) of principal and interest. For Adjustable Rate Loans, the
Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Note
and the Note is payable on the first day of each month and, during an
adjustment period or initial period, in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest. Installments of interest are subject to change due
to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an
original term of not more than thirty years from inception of the Loan.
(u) Interest Rate Adjustments. All required notices of interest
-------------------------
rate and payment amount adjustments have been sent to the Obligor on a
timely basis and the computations of such adjustments were properly
calculated. All interest rate adjustments applicable to the Loans have been
made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the
related Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local
law has been properly paid and credited.
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 19
(v) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
--------------------
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii) otherwise by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure. Upon default by an
Obligor on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be
able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property.
There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Obligor which
would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable
federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy
and right of redemption.
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. All inspections, licenses
-----------------------------------
and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained
from the appropriate authorities.
(x) No Additional Collateral. The Note is not and has not been
------------------------
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in the "Valid Lien" representation above.
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed
--------------
of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to
serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable
by Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with
a trustee's sale after default by the Obligor.
(z) Due on Sale. Each Mortgage, together with any such documents
-----------
as may be required under applicable law, contains a provision for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in
the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the
prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, at the option of the
mortgagee. This provision provides that the mortgagee cannot exercise its
option if either (a) the exercise of such option is prohibited by federal
law or (b)(i) the Obligor causes to be submitted to the mortgagee
information required by the mortgagee to evaluate the intended transferee
as if a new loan were being made to such transferee and (ii) the mortgagee
reasonably determines that the mortgagee's security will not be impaired by
the assumption of such Loan by the transferee and that the risk of breach
of any covenant or agreement in the documents evidencing such Loan is
acceptable to the mortgagee. To the best of Seller's knowledge, such
provision is enforceable.
AMRESCO RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL MARKETS, INC. Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
02/25/97 Page 20
(aa) Transfer of Loans. Each of the Mortgage and the Assignment of
-----------------
Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, and
each Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate recorder's office for
recording. Each Assignment of Mortgage shall be sufficient to effect the
transfer of Seller's security interest in the corresponding Mortgaged
Property.
(bb) No Buydown Provisions: No Graduated Payments or Contingent
----------------------------------------------------------
Interests. The Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly
---------
Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account established by Seller, the Obligor or anyone on behalf of the
Obligor, or paid by any source other than the Obligor, nor does it contain
any other similar provisions currently in effect which may constitute a
"buydown" provision. The Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and
the Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature.
(cc) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
--------------------------------
the Obligor prior to the Offer Date have been consolidated with the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest readjustment
feature or rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable to Buyer, FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal
amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan.
(dd) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
---------------------------------------------------------
There is no proceeding pending or, threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged
by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, water,
tornado or other casualty so as to adversely affect the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Loan or the use for which the
premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There
have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged
Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings in the future.
(ee) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination,
-------------------------------------
servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Loan
have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and are in all
respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. With
respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in
possession of Seller or the servicer of such Loan and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been
collected in full compliance with state and federal law. Unless prohibited
by applicable law, an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized
under the Mortgage or the Note.

(ff) Appraisals. Seller has delivered to Buyer an appraisal of the

(a) In the event that Buyer discovers that any of the representations
and warranties set forth herein were untrue in any material respect as of the
related Settlement Date and that such breaches of the representations and
warranties materially and adversely affect the interest of Buyer in the Loans:
Buyer shall give Seller notice of, and shall request that Seller cure, such

representation or warranty which would cause the Loan to be ineligible for
securitization or cause the certificate insurer to refuse coverage would
constitute a material adverse effect.
The Seller shall, at the request of the Buyer and assuming that Seller has a
Qualified Substitute Loan, rather than repurchase the Loan as provided below,
remove such Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Loan or
Loans; provided that such substitution shall be effected not later than one

shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to Buyer that such
deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the related Loan Schedule shall
be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Loan from this
Agreement.
As to any Deleted Loan for which Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Loan
or Loans, Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to Buyer for such
Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by the
Custodial Agreement, with the Note endorsed as required therein. Seller shall
deposit in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment and any servicing fee due
on such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans in the month following the date of
such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Loans in the month of substitution will be prorated between Buyer and Seller.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Buyer will include a prorated
portion of the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan, and Seller shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by Seller in
respect of such Deleted Loan. Seller shall give written notice to Buyer that
such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Loan. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect
to such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and
---------------------
4.3.
---
For any month in which Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Loans
for one or more Deleted Loans, Seller will determine the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Loans as
of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate stated Principal Balance
of all such Deleted Loans (after application of
Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
Page 33
scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount equal
to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied by the Repurchase
Price shall be distributed by Seller in the month of substitution. Accordingly,
on the date of such substitution, Seller will deposit from its own funds into
the Collection Account an amount equal to such amount.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of Seller set forth in this
Section 9.1(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Loan constitute
-------------
the sole remedies of Buyer respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.
Any cause of action against Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of
any representations and warranties made in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 shall
------------------------
accrue as to any Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by Buyer or notice
thereof by Seller to Buyer, (ii) failure by Seller to cure such breach or
repurchase such Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon Seller by Buyer
for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.
(b) If Seller fails to cure such failure, breach or action to the sole
satisfaction of Buyer within such 60-day period, Seller shall, not later than
thirty (30) days after said 60-day period, repurchase such Loan at the
Repurchase Price set forth in Section 9.2.
-----------
Section 9.2 Repurchase Price. In the event Seller repurchases a Loan from
----------------
Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1 above, the Repurchase Price shall be an amount
-----------
equal to
(a) the product of
(i) the Bid Percentage and
(ii) the Principal Balance of such Loan,
(b) minus the aggregate amount of all payments of principal made to
Buyer on such Loan from the Settlement Date up to, but not including, the
date of repurchase,
(c) plus accrued but unpaid interest up to and including the date of
repurchase,
(d) plus any reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses paid to
third parties relating to such Loan.
Upon payment of the Repurchase Price as set forth herein, Buyer shall deliver
the Mortgage Files relating to such repurchased Loan and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Seller title to such repurchased Loan
on a servicing-released basis. Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs incurred
in delivering the Mortgage File to Seller. Except for the negligence or willful
misconduct of Buyer or Buyer's representative, Buyer shall have no liability for
the failure by the courier to deliver the Mortgage File to Seller for any reason
whatsoever.

Section 9.3 Post-Settlement Adjustments to Purchase Price. Within sixty
---------------------------------------------
(60) days after each Settlement Date, the parties to this Agreement shall notify
the other in writing of any miscalculations, misapplied payments, unapplied
payments or other accounting errors (each, a "Discrepancy") which said party has
------------
discovered and which affects the Principal Balance of any of the Loans purchased
on such Settlement Date or the Purchase Price for the Loans purchased on such
Settlement Date. Notice under this Section 9.3 shall include copies of documents
-----------
sufficient to describe each Discrepancy. Buyer shall pay Seller or Seller shall
pay Buyer, as the case may be, an amount sufficient to correct such Discrepancy,
with all such adjustments calculated using the Bid Percentage. Any amounts due
hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) days of notice by the first party to the
other party.
SECTION 10 INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.1 Seller's Indemnification.
------------------------
(a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer, its Affiliates, and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and
assigns, and related entities from and to reimburse them for, any loss, cost,
expense, damage, liability, or claim (including, without limitation, all Legal
Fees) relating to, arising out of, based upon, or resulting from:
(i) Seller's ownership of or actions with respect to the Loans;
(ii) Seller's breach of any of its representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement; or
(iii) Seller's breach of or failure to perform any of its
covenants or agreements contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The obligations of Seller under this Section shall survive the
transfer and delivery of the Loans to Buyer and the termination of this
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have any liability
in respect of the representations or warranties on the part of Seller herein
contained to the extent such liability would not have arisen but for Buyer's own
willful misconduct or negligence.
Section 10.2 Buyer's Indemnification.
-----------------------
(a) Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, its Affiliates, and
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and
assigns, and related entities from and to reimburse them for, any loss, cost,
expense, damage, liability, or claim (including, without limitation, all Legal
Fees) relating to, arising out of, based upon, or resulting from:
Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
Page 35
(i) Buyer's ownership of or actions with respect to the Loans;
(ii) Buyer's breach of any of its representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement; or
(iii) Buyer's breach of or failure to perform any of its covenants
or agreements contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The obligations of Buyer under this Section shall survive the
transfer and delivery of the Loans to Seller and the termination of this
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have any liability

contained to the extent such liability would not have arisen but for Seller's
own willful misconduct or negligence.
Section 10.3 Indemnification Procedures.
--------------------------
(a) Within 10 days after a receipt by a party of a third party claim,
the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
the indemnifying party under this Agreement, deliver a claim notice to the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the omission so to notify the
-----------------
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
that the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party otherwise than
under this subsection. In the event that any third party claim is made against
the indemnified party and the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying
party), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or claim and to
participate in the defense thereof at the expense of the indemnifying party, if
the retention of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party, if such counsel is retained because the indemnifying party
does not notify the indemnified party within 20 days after receipt of a claim
notice that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, or if there is a
reasonable basis on which the indemnified party's interest may differ from those
of the indemnifying party.
(b) The indemnifying party shall remit payment for the amount of a
valid and substantiated claim for indemnification hereunder within 15 business
days of the receipt of a claim notice therefor. Upon the payment in full of any
claim hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to the rights of the
indemnified party against any person with respect to the subject matter of such
claim. In the event of a dispute, the parties shall proceed in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of such dispute.
Continuing Loan Purchase Agreement
Page 36
(c) The indemnified party shall have the right to reject any
settlement approved by the indemnifying party if the indemnified party waives
its right to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall have the
right to settle any third party claim over the objection of the indemnifying
party; provided, however, that if the indemnifying party is contesting such
--------- -------
claim in good faith and has assumed the defense of such claim from the
indemnified party, the indemnified party waives any right to indemnity therefor.
(d) In the event that the indemnifying party reimburses the
indemnified party with respect to any third party claim and the indemnified
party subsequently receives reimbursement from another person with respect to
that third party claim, then the indemnified party shall remit such
reimbursement from such other person to the indemnifying party within thirty
(30) days of receipt thereof.
SECTION 11 TERMINATION
Section 11.1 Termination by Either Party.

a regulatory agency appoints a receiver, liquidator, conservator, or trustee

notice period pursuant to Section 11.1(a) or upon written notice to Seller
--------------
pursuant to Section 11.2 that a Termination Event has occurred, this Agreement

hereunder shall cease; provided, however, that each party shall continue to have
--------- -------
such obligations as may remain with respect to all Loans acquired by Buyer in
Settlements that have occurred prior to the date on which this Agreement
terminates.
SECTION 12 MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1 No Waiver. Failure or delay on the part of Buyer to audit any
---------
Loan or to exercise any right provided for herein, shall not act as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right by Buyer or
Seller preclude any other or further exercise thereof. In no event shall a term
or provision of this Agreement be deemed to have been waived, modified or
amended, unless said waiver, modification or amendment is in writing and signed
by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any investigation conducted before or
after the purchase of any Loan, and notwithstanding any actual or implied
knowledge or notice of any facts or circumstances which Buyer may have as a
result of such investigation or otherwise, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon
the warranties, representations, and covenants of Seller in this Agreement, and
the obligations of Seller with respect thereto shall survive the purchase of
said Loans by Buyer and inure to the benefit of all future assignees of said
Loans.
