in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve (12) months.

--------------
Purchaser as provided hereunder;

substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by
the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, to the
extent required by the related policy, and its terms are reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the primary

policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the
terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if executed prior to
the Closing Date;
(e) 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,
8
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

Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to the Agencies against loss by

to do business in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such
insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") contain a
standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as
mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid. If upon origination of the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was, or was subsequently deemed to be, in
an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made

Administration (or any successor thereto) be obtained, such flood insurance
policy is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of the Agencies.

at Mortgagor's cost and expense and, on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's
cost and expense and to obtain reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Each
Mortgage Loan has in place a fully-paid life of loan flood certification from a
FNMA- or FHLMC-approved vendor, assigned in care of the Purchaser, which

disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all
material respects;
(h) 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;
(i) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on
the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, if
any, subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised
Value (as defined in clause (i) of such definition) of the Mortgaged Property,
and (c) 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. The Seller has full right to sell and assign the Mortgage
to the Purchaser;
(j) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan transaction and to execute and deliver
the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have

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

fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any
refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan
and the related Servicing Rights and is the custodian of the related Escrow
Account, if applicable. The Mortgage Loan has neither been assigned nor pledged,
and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to
transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan and the related Servicing Rights to the
Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or security interest and has full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each
Mortgage Loan and the related Servicing Rights to the Purchaser pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement;
(n) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period
in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (a) in compliance with
any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein
