Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or a Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, 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 within the grace period and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan (other than a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan), no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan.

Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has 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 proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.

(c) Original Terms Unmodified. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, the terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) 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 Buyers, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage 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 Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.

 

Annex A-1


(d) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(o) No Defaults. Other than a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and with respect to each Co-op Loan (other than a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan), there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.

ANNEX B

(ttt) No Prior Modifications. With respect to a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, if such Mortgage Loan has been modified after acquisition by the Seller, such signed modification documents reflecting the applicable modified terms are in the related loan file.

(uuu) Leases. With respect to a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property is either a fee simple estate or a long-term residential lease. If such Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or Re-Performing Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, to the best of each Seller’s knowledge: (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 Loan File), and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protection; (B) the terms of such lease do not allow the termination thereof upon the lessee’s default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured under the hazard insurance policy related to the Mortgaged Property; (C) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five (5) years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (D) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is an accepted practice.
