SECTION 5.    Representations and Warranties. Schedule 1 to the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:

5.1    deleting paragraph (h) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(h)    Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae guides or by Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid and such policies may not be reduced, terminated or cancelled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the 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, 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 Mortgagor’s or any servicer’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 such policy, 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 or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

5.2    adding the following new paragraph (bbbb) at the end thereof:

(bbbb) FHA Loans, VA Loans and RD Loans. With respect to each FHA Loan, VA Loan and RD Loan, as applicable, (i) the FHA Mortgage Insurance Certificate is in full force and effect, there exists no impairment to full recovery, the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein and there exists no impairment to full recovery thereunder and the RD Loan Guaranty Agreement is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein and there exists no impairment to full recovery thereunder, (ii) all necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and each of such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA, the VA and RD, as applicable, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense, (iii) such FHA Loan is insured, or eligible to be insured, pursuant to the National Housing Act and such VA Loan is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed, under the provisions of Chapter 37 of Title 38 of the United States Code, as applicable, (iv) with respect to each FHA Mortgage Insurance Certificate, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement and RD Loan Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, Seller has complied with applicable provisions of the insurance for guaranty contract and federal statutes and regulations, all premiums or other charges due in connection with such insurance or guarantee have been paid, there has been no act or omission which would or may invalidate any

such insurance or guaranty, and the insurance or guaranty is, or when issued, will be, in full force and effect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (v) Seller has no knowledge of any circumstance which would cause such FHA Loan to be ineligible for FHA mortgage insurance, such VA Loan to be ineligible for a VA loan guaranty, such RD Loan to be ineligible for a RD loan guaranty or cause the FHA, the VA or RD to deny or reject the related Mortgagor’s application for FHA mortgage insurance, a VA loan guaranty or RD loan guaranty, as applicable.
