5.1 Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

(a) As a condition of purchasing a Mortgage Loan, MBF requires Seller to service such Mortgage Loan as agent for MBF for the entire period between the Acquisition Date and the Repurchase Date of the Mortgage Loan (including any period during which such Mortgage Loan backs, or has been transferred to a Mortgage Pool that backs, one or more Mortgage Securities) on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Seller shall service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of MBF in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirements of Law and the requirements of any applicable Takeout Commitment and the Takeout Investor, so that the eligibility of the Mortgage Loan, or Mortgage Security backed by such Mortgage Loan, for purchase under such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

(ii) Subject to subsection 5.1(d), Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Credit File for the Mortgage Loan (including photocopies of the documents delivered to MBF pursuant to Section 3.3), and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of such Credit File being for the sole purpose of servicing such Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Seller being in a custodial capacity only;

(iii) MBF may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such documents and records;

(iv) At MBF’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to MBF reports regarding the status of any Mortgage Loan being serviced by Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan, MBF’s title to such Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Mortgage Loan; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security by Seller; and

(d) At any time during an Event of Default (other than Events of Default specified in clause (vii), (ix), (xi), or (xii) of the definition of Event of Default set forth in Section 1 hereof so long as such Events of Default are cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof) , MBF shall have the right to appoint a successor servicer to service any Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”) in its sole discretion. In the event of such an appointment, Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File and related servicing records held by Seller, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to Successor Servicer. Seller shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if MBF appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder and the Servicing Fee is reduced or eliminated.

5.2 Custodial Account.

(a) Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of MBF (the “Custodial Account”) with an Eligible Bank and shall promptly deposit into the Custodial Account all interest and/or principal payments received with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan up to but not including the Acquisition Date for such Mortgage Loan) and all other receipts in respect of each Mortgage Loan sold hereunder that are payable to the owner of such loan including, without limitation, all escrow withholds and escrow payments for Property Charges. Seller may use a deposit account at an Eligible Bank established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Seller services for other parties, but under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to MBF as owner of any Mortgage Loans. In the event Seller establishes a deposit account solely for use in connection with collections on the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall name the account “[Name of Seller] as agent for Washington Mutual Bank.” In the event Seller elects to use a deposit account maintained for collections on the Mortgage Loans and other mortgage loans owned by third parties, MBF shall approve the title of the account in advance of use by Seller hereunder.

(b) Any interest and/or principal payments, and other amounts received with respect to a Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan up to but not including the Acquisition Date for such Mortgage Loan), whether or not deposited in the Custodial Account, shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of MBF as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be released only as follows:

(i) after the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, or related Mortgage Security, has been paid in full to MBF, all amounts previously deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan and then in the Custodial Account shall be: released by MBF to Seller in full or partial payment of the Servicing Fee or in the exercise of Seller’s right of set-off in subsection 5.2(e); transferred to the Takeout Investor or its designee if authorized by Seller; or remitted to MBF;

(ii) if a Successor Servicer is appointed by MBF, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Mortgage Loans to be so serviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with MBF;

Such remittances shall be by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions previously given to Seller.

(d) In lieu of the monthly wire transfer remittances of funds in the Custodial Account described in subsection 5.2(c), Seller authorizes MBF to withdraw the remittance amount each month from Seller’s Operating Account. MBF shall notify Seller of each such withdrawal, and Seller shall have the right to set-off such withdrawn amount(s) against funds in the Custodial Account to be released to or for the benefit of MBF pursuant to subsection 5.2(b)(i). Seller may release funds in the Custodial Account to itself in an amount equal to such withdrawal amount(s), in the exercise of such set-off right, at the time all funds in the Custodial Account are distributed pursuant to subsection 5.2(b)(i). In the event funds in the Custodial Account are insufficient to fully reimburse Seller for such withdrawn amount(s) upon the exercise of this set-off right, MBF shall pay Seller the deficit.

(e) Seller shall not change the identity or location of the Custodial Account without thirty (30) days prior notice to MBF. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to the depository Eligible Bank, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by MBF to reflect MBF’s partial or complete ownership interest in the Custodial Account.

(f) If MBF so requests, Seller shall promptly notify MBF of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to Mortgage Loans owned by MBF and serviced by Seller. Seller shall also promptly deliver to MBF photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as MBF may from time to time request.

(g) The amount of any remittance or transfer of funds by Seller pursuant to this Section 5, any Administrative Costs or Successor Servicer Costs payable pursuant to Section 6.2, and any Repurchase Price or other sum payable by Seller pursuant to Section 8, not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller from its own funds, at the lesser of (i) the Default Rate or (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. If there is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on such sums shall accrue at the Default Rate.

6. Seller’s Continuing Duties.

6.1 Takeout Commitments. Except to the extent superceded by this Agreement, Seller shall continue to perform all of its duties and obligations to the Takeout Investor under any applicable Takeout Commitment and otherwise, with respect to a purchased Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security as if such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security were still owned by Seller and to be sold directly by Seller to the Takeout Investor pursuant to such Takeout Commitment on the Takeout Funding Date without the intervening ownership of MBF pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall timely assemble all records and documents concerning the Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security required under any applicable Takeout Commitment (except that photocopies instead of originals shall be used for those documents already provided to MBF in the Dry Funding Documents Package or any Wet Funding Documents Package) and all other documents and information that may have been required or requested by the Takeout Investor, and Seller shall make all representations and warranties required to be made to the Takeout Investor.

MBF shall be entitled to possession of such Mortgage Security in the manner provided below.

(b) If a Mortgage Loan is transferred to an Approved Custodian and included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, MBF’s ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans comprising the Eligible Mortgage Pool shall be released upon the issuance of the Agency Security, which shall be a Mortgage Security deemed owned by MBF.

Seller acknowledges that MBF may enter into one or more standing arrangements with other financial institutions with respect to Mortgage Securities issued in book-entry form or issued in certificated form and delivered to a clearing corporation, pursuant to which such Mortgage Securities are registered in the name of such financial institution, as agent or securities intermediary for MBF, and Seller agrees upon request of MBF to execute and deliver to such other financial institutions Seller’s written concurrence in any such standing arrangements.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and MBF acknowledge and agree that a Mortgage Security will not normally come into the possession of Seller or MBF prior to its delivery to the Takeout Investor notwithstanding MBF’s ownership of such Mortgage Securtiy. If, however, any Mortgage Security comes into the possession of the Seller or Seller controls the possession of such Mortgage Security and MBF has not received the Repurchase Price in connection with such Mortgage Security, Seller shall either (a) pay to MBF, the Repurchase Price in connection with such Mortgage Security or (b) deliver such Mortgage Security to MBF.

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller may repurchase a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security from MBF by notifying MBF of its intention to do so and either (a) paying, or causing a Takeout Investor to pay, to MBF, the Repurchase Price in connection with such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security or (b) delivering a substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security which is acceptable to MBF in its sole discretion.

Funds received by MBF after said time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

MBF will place all unidentified funds in a non-interest bearing account and will promptly contact Seller.

Subject to Section 7.5, within one (1) Business Day after the completion of the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security by Seller in accordance with subsection 7.3(a), MBF shall make a provisional payment to Seller of such Servicing Fee by releasing to Seller any sum then on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security (other than escrowed payments for Property Charges) and, if necessary, by depositing in Seller’s Operating Account such additional sum of money as MBF may estimate in its sole discretion is due to Seller in order that Seller shall have received the estimated Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan. Seller acknowledges that the provisional payment of this Servicing Fee is without prejudice to the final calculation of the Servicing Fee.

(e) Each repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security under this Section 7 shall include a release to Seller of all escrowed payments for Property Charges then in the Custodial Account and a reassignment to Seller of its rights under the applicable Takeout Commitment to deliver the applicable Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security to the Takeout Investor and to receive the net sum therefor specified in the Takeout Commitment from the Takeout Investor. Effective on the Repurchase Date, MBF assigns to Seller, free and clear of any security interest, lien, claim, or encumbrance of any kind, all of MBF’s right, title and interest in any applicable Takeout Commitment for the Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security then repurchased by Seller.

7.4 Definitive Repurchase Price and Servicing Fee.

(a) After the close of the month in which the Repurchase Date occurs for a Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security, MBF shall make a final calculation of the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security due on the Repurchase Date, all unpaid Administrative Costs and Successor Servicer Costs as of that date, and the Servicing Fee (if any) due to Seller on such date with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security. MBF shall compare the final calculation of the Repurchase Price to the estimated Repurchase Price provisionally paid to MBF pursuant to subsection 7.3(a) and the final calculation of the Servicing Fee to the estimated Servicing Fee, if any, provisionally paid to Seller pursuant to subsection 7.3(d); and, if there is a difference between one or both of the estimated amounts that were provisionally paid and final calculations of such amounts actually due, MBF shall, by netting the amounts due from one party to the other, determine the final amount due from one party to the other (the “Settlement Amount”). MBF’s final calculations of the Repurchase Price, the Servicing Fee and the Settlement Amount hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties in the absence of manifest error.

(b) If MBF determines that the Settlement Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security is an amount due to MBF, MBF is authorized to charge either or both of Seller’s Accounts in the amount of the Settlement Amount in order to reconcile the final payment made to MBF with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Repurchase Price and the final payment made to Seller with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security. (In the event that Seller’s Accounts do not contain sufficient funds to satisfy in whole any amount due to MBF under this subsection 7.4(b), Seller shall promptly deposit funds in Seller’s Funding Account sufficient to satisfy such amount due to MBF, and Seller shall notify MBF of each such deposit.) If MBF determines that the Settlement Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security is an amount due to Seller, and subject to Section 7.5 and subsection 8.3(a), MBF shall promptly pay to Seller the amount of the deficit by deposit of funds in the amount of the Settlement Amount in Seller’s Operating Account in order to reconcile the final payment made to MBF with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Repurchase Price and the final payment made to Seller with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

7.5 Use of Custodial Account Funds. Seller is authorized to withdraw from the Custodial Account funds held with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which a Repurchase Date has occurred, in whole or partial satisfaction of MBF’s payment obligation to Seller under subsection 7.3(d) and Section 7.4, in which event MBF’s deposit in Seller’s Operating Account pursuant to such provision may be reduced by the amount of such authorized withdrawal funds.

8. Early Repurchase; Other Remedies.

8.1 Sale Not Caveat Emptor. The sale of a Mortgage Loan hereunder is not caveat emptor, it being understood that MBF is expressly relying on the representations by Seller as to each Mortgage Loan provided in Section 11 and in any applicable Annex, and the representations about Seller itself provided in Section 12, and in any applicable Annex.

8.2 Early Repurchases.

(a) If, after MBF purchases a Mortgage Loan, MBF determines or receives notice (whether from Seller or otherwise) that a purchased Mortgage Loan is (or has become) a Defective Mortgage Loan, MBF shall promptly notify Seller and Seller shall repurchase such purchased Mortgage Loan, or the Mortgage Security backed by such Mortgage Loan (if any), at the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security on the date of repurchase. In the case of a Wet Funding, if Seller fails to deliver a Dry Funding Documents Package for the Mortgage Loan not later than the Wet Funding Deadline, MBF may notify Seller, in which event Seller shall repurchase such purchased Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price on the date of repurchase. If a Takeout Investor refuses to honor its Takeout Commitment and complete the purchase of a Mortgage Loan, or the Mortgage Security backed by such Mortgage Loan (if any), for any reason, MBF may notify Seller and Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan, or such Mortgage Security, if any, at the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security on the date of repurchase.

(b) If Seller becomes obligated to repurchase a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security pursuant to subsection (a) above, MBF shall promptly give Seller notice of such repurchase obligation and a provisional calculation of the Repurchase Price. On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day after such notice (the “Early Repurchase Date”), Seller shall repurchase the Mortgage Loan, or the Mortgage Security, if any, by making a provisional payment of the Repurchase Price in the amount of the estimated Repurchase Price, and MBF is authorized to charge either or both of Seller’s Accounts in such amount unless the parties have agreed in writing to a different method of payment. (In the event that Seller’s Accounts do not contain sufficient funds to satisfy in whole any amount due to MBF under this subsection 8.2(b) or if the amounts due are not provided by any applicable alternative method of payment agreed upon by the parties, Seller shall promptly deposit funds in Seller’s Funding Account sufficient to satisfy such amount due to MBF, and Seller shall notify MBF of each such deposit.) Upon receipt of the provisional payment of the estimated Repurchase Price from Seller, MBF shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller all documents for the Mortgage Loan (or for the Mortgage Security backed by such Mortgage Loan, if any) previously delivered to MBF. MBF shall pay to Seller the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan repurchased by Seller under this Section 8. Subject to subsection 8.3(a), within one (1) Business Day after the completion of the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security by Seller in accordance with subsection 8.2(b), MBF shall make a provisional payment to Seller of such Servicing Fee (if any), by releasing to Seller any sum then on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan and, if necessary, by depositing in Seller’s Operating Account such additional sum of money as MBF may estimate in its sole discretion is due to Seller in order that Seller shall have received the estimated Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan. Seller acknowledges that the provisional payment of this Servicing Fee is without prejudice to the final calculation of the Servicing Fee.

(c) After the close of the month in which the early repurchase was completed, MBF shall make a final calculation of the Repurchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan, or Mortgage Security, if any, due on the Early Repurchase Date, all Administrative Costs and Successor Servicer Costs as of that date, and the Servicing Fee (if any) due to Seller with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of that date. MBF shall then calculate the Settlement Amount (if any) due from one party to the other in the manner set forth in subsection 7.4(a), using the estimated Repurchase Price and estimated Servicing Fee (if any) provisionally paid pursuant to subsection 8.2(b) to make such calculation. If MBF determines that the Settlement Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security is an amount due to MBF, MBF is authorized to charge either or both of Seller’s Accounts in the amount of the Settlement Amount in order to reconcile the final payment made to MBF with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Repurchase Price and the final payment made to Seller with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan. (In the event that Seller’s Accounts do not contain sufficient funds to satisfy in whole any amount due to MBF under this subsection 8.2(c), Seller shall promptly deposit funds in Seller’s Funding Account sufficient to satisfy such amount due to MBF, and Seller shall notify MBF of each such deposit.) If MBF determines that the Settlement Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security is an amount due to Seller, and subject to subsection 8.3(a), MBF shall promptly pay to Seller the amount of the deficit by deposit of funds in the amount of the Settlement Amount in Seller’s Operating Account in order to reconcile the final payment made to MBF with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Repurchase Price and the final payment made to Seller with the amount determined by MBF’s final calculations to have been the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(d) Each repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security, if any, under this Section 8 shall include a release to Seller of all escrowed payments for Property Charges then in the Custodial Account and a reassignment to Seller of its rights under the applicable Takeout Commitment to deliver the applicable Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security to the Takeout Investor and to receive the net sum therefor specified in the Takeout Commitment from the Takeout Investor. Effective on the Repurchase Date, MBF assigns to Seller, free and clear of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind, all of MBF’s right, title and interest in any applicable Takeout Commitment for the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security then repurchased by Seller.

8.3 Other Remedies.

(a) Seller hereby grants to MBF a right of set-off against the payment of any amounts that may be due and payable to MBF from Seller, such right to be upon any and all monies and property of Seller held or received by MBF or due and owing from MBF to Seller and exercisable whenever an Event of Default has occurred.

(b) During the existence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by MBF against funds held by it for MBF in the Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, Seller shall promptly remit to or at the direction of MBF all funds related to the Mortgage Loans in the Custodial Account (i) on the date of the Event of Default first occurs (as required by subsection 5.2(b)(iv)) and (ii) deposited by Seller in the Custodial Account after such date pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

(c) During the existence of an Event of Default, MBF may at any time, (i) upon notice to Seller, accelerate the Scheduled Repurchase Date for any or all the Mortgage Loans and all Mortgage Securities backed by such Mortgage Loans and declare the Repurchase Price for each such Mortgage Loan and Mortgage Security immediately due and payable, (ii) proceed against Seller (and any other obligor) with respect to all amounts due from Seller; (iii) act, or appoint a third party to act, as a Successor Servicer of the Mortgage Loans at Seller’s expense, and notify all obligors under the Mortgage Loans that all payments on such Mortgage Loans are to be made directly to such Successor Servicer; and (iv) enter onto the property where any Credit Files and related Mortgage Loan servicing records are held by Seller and take possession of such documents with or without judicial process (but in any event upon reasonable notice to Seller and during regular office hours), and require Seller to perform all acts and take all action so that all Credit Files and related Mortgage Loan servicing records held by Seller are promptly delivered to MBF or its Successor Servicer (as MBF shall direct), so that MBF may use the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner MBF deems necessary for recovery of amounts due from Seller hereunder.

(d) During the existence of an Event of Default, MBF may complete the sale of any Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Security backed by a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Takeout Commitment (with such modifications in light of the Event of Default as may be acceptable to MBF and the Takeout Investor). In lieu of the sale of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security to the Takeout Investor, MBF may sell any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security at a public or private sale, in a commercially reasonable manner at such price or prices and on such terms as MBF may deem satisfactory, and Seller waives any right it may have to prior notice of such a sale to the extent allowed by applicable law; but if notice is required under applicable law, MBF will give Seller not less than ten (10) days’ notice of any public sale or of the date after which any private sale of the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security may be held. Seller agrees that ten (10) days’ notice is reasonable notice; and MBF may, without notice or publication, adjourn any such public or private sale one or more times by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the sale may be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment.

(e) MBF will incur no liability as a result of the commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security at any public or private sale or other disposition. Seller waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against MBF arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that MBF might have obtained at a public sale, or was less than the amount due to MBF with respect to the repurchase of said Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security, even if MBF accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security to more than one offeree. Any sale of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security under the terms of the related Takeout Commitment will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(f) Proceeds received by MBF from any such sale pursuant to subsection 8.3(d), or pursuant to the enforcement of any of the foregoing remedies, shall be applied by MBF (i) first, to the payment for the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation for MBF’s counsel and agents; (ii) second, to the payment of Repurchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security; (iii) third, to the payment of all other sums due from Seller to MBF; and (iv) fourth, to Seller. In the event the proceeds realized from the sale or other disposition of all the Mortgage Loans and all the Mortgage Securities owned by MBF at the time of an Event of Default are in the aggregate insufficient to pay all amounts owing to MBF as described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, Seller shall be liable to MBF for any such deficiency.

(g) In lieu of sale of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security pursuant to subsection 8.3(d), MBF may elect (by notice to Seller) to hold the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security for its own account and to release Seller from the obligation to repurchase the same, in which event MBF may do so (without further notice to any Person or obligation to Seller) unless Seller gives MBF notice of objection within five (5) Business Days. If Seller timely lodges such an objection, MBF may exercise all of the other remedies provided in this Section 8.3, including sale of the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Security to the Takeout Investor or to another Person pursuant to subsection 8.3(d). If Seller fails to timely lodge such an objection, Seller shall promptly deliver to MBF or its designee any part of the Credit File and related servicing records held by Seller, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Mortgage Loan.

9. True Sales of Mortgage Loans.

9.1 True Sales. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, MBF AND SELLER CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN ARE INTENDED TO BE TRUE SALES AND ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENTS OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY SELLER TO MBF (AND THEN BY MBF TO SELLER) AND NOT BORROWINGS SECURED BY THE MORTGAGE LOANS. MBF shall own each Mortgage Loan acquired pursuant to Section 3 hereof and have all right and entitlement appurtenant thereto, including, without limitation, the right to pledge or transfer the Mortgage Loan (subject only to any continuing obligations MBF may have to Seller hereunder), and the right to replace Seller as the servicing agent with respect to such Mortgage Loan, all on such terms as it deems appropriate. Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with MBF’s ownership of a Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder and shall not claim any legal, beneficial or other interest in such a Mortgage Loan other than its limited right and obligation, under Section 5 hereof, to provide servicing for such Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, MBF may, in its sole discretion, assign all of its right, title and interest in, or grant a security interest in, any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder. No notice of such assignment need be given by MBF to Seller except as required by Section 5. Assignment by MBF of a Mortgage Loan as provided in this Section 9.1 shall not release MBF from its obligations under this Agreement.

9.2 Precautionary Security Interest. Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 9.1 and the expressed intent of the parties, in the event that, for any reason, any transaction hereunder concerning a Mortgage Loan is construed by any Regulatory Authority as a borrowing or financing, rather than a true sale and absolute conveyance of the Mortgage Loan, Seller and MBF intend and agree that MBF shall have a perfected first priority security interest in such Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder and in all Mortgage-backed Securities and Participation Certificates created on the basis of such Mortgage Loan. In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to MBF (and possession of any promissory notes, instruments, documents, securities and certificates by Seller or any Successor Servicer as servicer shall constitute possession on behalf of MBF for this purpose) a security interest in and lien upon the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note, any applicable Takeout Commitment (to the extent assignable by Seller), any related Mortgage-backed Security or Participation Certificate, all servicing rights and other rights and privileges appurtenant thereto, the Custodial Account, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing. In such an event, Seller agrees that such security interest shall be of first priority and shall be free and clear of adverse claims, liens and interests. In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, and MBF shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law. Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 9.1 and the expressed intent of the parties, and merely as a precaution in the event that any transaction hereunder may be so construed, Seller authorizes MBF to file a financing statement for the above-described collateral. At MBF’s request, Seller and MBF will enter into a precautionary control agreement with the depository Eligible Bank with respect to the Custodial Account. Seller will also deliver possession of Mortgage Securities to MBF, will register all Mortgage Securities in MBF’s name by book entries, and will take such other actions to perfect its precautionary security interest as MBF requests.

10. Seller Representations. All the representations and warranties made by Seller to MBF in this Agreement are binding on Seller regardless whether the subject matter thereof was under the control of Seller or a third party. Seller acknowledges that MBF will rely upon all such representations and warranties with respect to each Mortgage Loan purchased by MBF hereunder, and Seller makes such representations and warranties in order to induce MBF to purchase the Mortgage Loans. The representations and warranties by Seller in this Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be unaffected by, and shall supersede, any provision in any endorsement of any Mortgage Loan or in any assignment with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the effect that such endorsement or assignment is without recourse or without representation or warranty. The representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of MBF and its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any examination by MBF of any Mortgage Loan documents or related files.

11. Representations and Warranties Concerning Mortgage Loans. By each delivery of a Loan Sale Confirmation, Seller shall be deemed to make, as of the effective date of the described sale of the Mortgage Loan or Loans (or, if another date is expressly provided in such representation or warranty, as of such other date), each of the representations and warranties set forth in Annex 2 concerning each Mortgage Loan then sold to MBF (as such representations and warranties may be modified by another Annex) and each representation and warranty concerning the Mortgage Loan set forth in another applicable Annex. All Seller representations and warranties concerning each Mortgage Loan shall survive delivery of the Dry Funding Documents Packages, the Wet Funding Documents Packages, and the Loan Sale Confirmations, purchase by MBF of Mortgage Loans, delivery of the Credit Files, transfer of the servicing for the Mortgage Loans to a Successor Servicer, the Takeout Fundings (if any), repurchases of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Securities by Seller (if any), and termination of this Agreement. With respect to any particular Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have the right to propose exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in Annex 2 (or any other applicable Annex) and MBF may accept or reject such exceptions in its sole discretion and any exception made by MBF with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan shall not apply to any future Mortgage Loan unless such exception is specifically approved by MBF for such Mortgage Loan at the time of its purchase.

12. Representations and Warranties Concerning Seller. As a material inducement to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller makes the following representations and warranties as of the Effective Date and as of each Acquisition Date (unless otherwise noted in this Section 12). All Seller representations and warranties set forth in this Section 12 shall survive delivery of the Dry Funding Documents Packages, the Wet Funding Documents Packages, and the Loan Sale Confirmations, purchase by MBF of Mortgage Loans, delivery of the Credit Files, transfer of the servicing for the Mortgage Loans to a Successor Servicer, the Takeout Fundings (if any), and repurchases of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Securities by Seller (if any), and shall terminate upon the date no Mortgage Loans purchased prior to the effective date of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 hereof exist that have not been repurchased by Seller (or held by MBF or sold to a Takeout Investor, if applicable) and there is no continuing Event of Default.

If applicable law now or hereafter in effect imposes a higher standard of confidentiality to the Confidential Information, such standard shall prevail over the provisions of this Section.

17.2 Controls on Confidential Information. Seller and MBF shall establish commercially reasonable controls to ensure that the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to ensure that the Confidential Information is not disclosed contrary to the provisions of this Section or any applicable privacy laws and regulations.

17.4 Confidential Information Not Subject to Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Seller nor MBF shall have any obligation with respect to any Confidential Information of the other party, or any portion thereof, which the receiving party can establish by competent proof:

17.5 Required Disclosures. If a receiving party or any of its representatives shall be under a legal obligation in any administrative or judicial circumstance to disclose any Confidential Information, the receiving party shall give the disclosing party prompt notice so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order and/or waive the duty of nondisclosure; provided that in the absence of such order or waiver, if the receiving party or any such representative shall, in the opinion of its counsel, stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty for failure to disclose, disclosure pursuant to the order of such tribunal may be made by the receiving party or its representative without liability hereunder.

17.6 Continued Restrictions. For as long as Seller or MBF continues to possess or control Confidential Information furnished by the other, and for so long as the Confidential Information remains unpublished, confidential and legally protectable as the property of the disclosing party, except as otherwise specified herein, the receiving party shall make no use of such Confidential Information whatsoever, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

Any materials or documents, including copies that contain Confidential Information, shall be promptly returned when necessary to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties.

17.7 Injunctive Relief Permitted. It is agreed that the unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information may cause immediate or irreparable injury to the party providing the Confidential Information, and that such party may not be adequately compensated for such injury in monetary damages. Seller and MBF therefore acknowledge and agree that, in such event, the other shall be entitled to seek any temporary or permanent injunctive relief necessary to prevent such unauthorized disclosure or use, or threat of disclosure or use, and each consents to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Seattle, Washington for purpose of any suit hereunder and to service of process therein by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

20. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right granted to MBF hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed MBF by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No course of dealing on the part of MBF, nor any failure on MBF’s part to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights, powers and remedies of MBF. No single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The due payment and performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder shall be without regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever which Seller may have against MBF and without regard to any other obligation of any nature whatsoever which MBF may have to Seller, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by Seller, in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by MBF to enforce this Agreement.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

23. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect any other clause or provision or such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction.

24. Binding Effect; Assignment or Delegation. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Seller, MBF and their respective successors and permitted assigns. It is expressly agreed that MBF may assign its right to enforce this Agreement as to any Mortgage Loan to any party that subsequently purchases such Mortgage Loan from MBF or provides financing to MBF with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The rights and obligations of Seller under this Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of MBF, which consent may be withheld in MBF’s sole discretion, and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void.

25. Annexes, Exhibits and Riders. All Annexes, Exhibits and Contract Riders attached hereto are incorporated in this Agreement by this reference.

26. Time of the Essence.

Annex 2

Representations and Warranties Concerning Mortgage Loans

[Loan Characteristics]

1. Valid Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a first lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) or second lien (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) on the Mortgaged Property, including 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, and the Mortgaged Property is owned by the Mortgagor in fee simple or is a leasehold estate, subject only to:

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a first lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) or second lien and second priority security interest (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) on the Mortgaged Property described therein, and Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to MBF. All tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregations, where required, have been completed. The Mortgaged Property is not, and as of the date of the origination of the Mortgage Loan was not, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage, except to the extent permitted by the Takeout Investor under any applicable Takeout Commitment.

2. Deeds of Trust. If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by MBF to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

3. Buydown Loans. If the Mortgage Loan is a “buydown loan”, the amount of the buydown is fully funded, the period of the buydown does not exceed three years, and the change in the Mortgagor’s interest rate will not exceed 1 percent per annum as a result of the buydown.

4. Full Disbursement of Proceeds. Except in the case of an FHA Construction Mortgage Loan or a HUD 241 Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan has been closed, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and, except as specifically permitted by MBF in writing, 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 satisfied. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, any FHA mortgage insurance premium, if applicable, has been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. There is no obligation on the part of Seller, or of any other party, to make supplemental payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagor. All future advances, if any, made in connection with the Mortgage Loan have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

5. No Defenses. The Mortgage 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, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury. No such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to a bankruptcy plan, nor has Seller received notice of nor does Seller have knowledge that the Mortgagor has filed bankruptcy. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller or any prior servicer of the Mortgage Loan, and Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940.

6. Payments Current. All payments due on the Mortgage Loan, if any, have been made by the Mortgagor, the Mortgage Loan has not been delinquent (i.e. was more than thirty days past due) more than once in the preceding 12 months, and any such delinquency lasted for no more than 30-days.

7. No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event 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.

8. No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and 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. 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 of interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest. No subordinate financing was used by the Mortgagor to acquire the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent permitted by the Takeout Investor under any applicable Takeout Commitment and any guides, rules and regulations governing such Takeout Commitment.

9. 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 Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

10. Ownership. Immediately prior to MBF’s purchase of the Mortgage Loan, and subject to the Warehouse Lender’s security interest other than in the context of Wet Fundings, Seller was the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan. Except for any applicable Takeout Commitment, the Mortgage Loan has not been assigned or pledged and Seller has good and marketable title thereto and full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to MBF free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interests, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. Seller has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Agreement, and upon its purchase of the Mortgage Loan MBF has received good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loan free of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, but subject to any applicable Takeout Commitment. There is no litigation pending or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened, affecting or relating to Seller which may in any way affect, by attachment or otherwise, the title or interest of MBF in and to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgage Note or security instrument.

11. Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. Except to the extent MBF has specifically agreed in writing to the contrary, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. 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.

12. No Satisfaction of Mortgage. 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. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

13. No Servicing Restrictions. Except as may be set forth in any applicable Takeout Commitment, no servicing agreement has been entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or if any such servicing agreement has been entered into it has been terminated, and there are no restrictions, contractual, statutory or otherwise, which would impair the ability of MBF to appoint a Successor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan (other than applicable Agency Guidelines).

14. No Refinance Agreements. Except as disclosed to MBF, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates have entered into an agreement, formal or informal, with the Mortgagor during the initial origination process of the Mortgage Loan to refinance the Mortgage Loan at some future date as an inducement for the Mortgagor to enter into the original mortgage transaction.

15. No Adverse Selection. Seller used no adverse selection procedures in selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first lien and second lien mortgage loans owned by it which were available for sale to MBF.

16. Right of Rescission. With respect to refinance loans, the borrower’s right of rescission has not been waived.

17. No Graduated Payment or Shared Appreciation Feature. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan, and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

18. No Construction Loan. Except for an FHA Construction Mortgage Loan and except as may be permitted by MBF in writing, the Mortgage Loan was not made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of the Mortgaged Property.

19. No Liabilities. There are no liabilities of Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan or with respect to facts or circumstances prior to the date on which MBF purchased the Mortgage Loan for which MBF would be responsible as a result of its purchase of the Mortgage Loan.

20. [Intentionally Omitted]

21. [Intentionally Omitted]

22. Third Party Originations. If the Mortgage Loan was completely or partially originated, underwritten, closed, funded or packaged by any Person other than Seller (each such mortgage loan, a “TPO Mortgage Loan”):

23. Conformity to Takeout Commitment. The Mortgage Loan conforms in all respects with the requirements of the Takeout Investor under any applicable Takeout Commitment. The applicable Takeout Commitment, if any, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and the Takeout Investor, respectively, enforceable against Seller and the Takeout Investor in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, conservatorship and similar laws, and by equitable principles affecting the enforceability of the rights of creditors, including those relating to specific performance). The applicable Takeout Commitment is a bona fide current, unused and unexpired commitment by the Takeout Investor pursuant to which such Takeout Investor has irrevocably agreed to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or a related Mortgage Security, not later than the Maximum Takeout Commitment Expiration Date upon the satisfaction only of those terms and conditions contained in the Takeout Commitment, all of which, in the reasonably anticipated course of events, can be complied with and satisfied prior to such date.

24. Assignment of Takeout Commitment. To the extent assignable by Seller, any Takeout Commitment for the Mortgage Loan, has been duly assigned to MBF. Assuming that MBF is an eligible assignee under the Takeout Guidelines, the assignment of the Takeout Commitment with respect to such Mortgage Loan does not violate the terms of the Takeout Commitment.

[Mortgage Loan Information and Documentation]

25. Mortgage Loan as Described. The information contained in all commitments, advises, schedules, computer tapes or other documents or media prepared by Seller or on behalf of Seller or otherwise furnished to MBF relating to the Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct. Each of the documents contained in the Wet Funding Documents Package or the Dry Funding Documents Package for each Mortgage Loan is an authentic original document, except that, if a photocopy of such document is permitted to be provided under the Agreement (as indicated on Exhibit D), then such photocopy contained therein is a true, correct and complete photocopy of the original document.

26. Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are on forms acceptable to the Takeout Investor or are instruments approved by MBF, and Seller has not made any representation to the Mortgagor which is inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used. 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, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale and (b) otherwise, by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by the Mortgagor and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor 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. Payments under the Mortgage Note are due on the first day of each month with interest payable in arrears.

27. Due on Sale. The Mortgage Loan documents contain an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder; by the terms of the Mortgage Note, however, the provision for acceleration may not be exercised at the time of a transfer if prohibited by federal law or, in the event that the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan is adjustable, if the prospective purchaser is the transferee of the original mortgagor, meets the applicable creditworthiness standards of the mortgagee and pays an agreed upon fee.

28. Appraisals. The appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, as well as the appraiser who performed it, meet all of the applicable requirements of the Takeout Investor and all applicable Agency Guidelines. The value of the Mortgaged Property is at least equal to the appraised value stated in the appraisal.

29. Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage and Mortgage Note 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 MBF and which has been delivered to and approved by MBF or its designee. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by any applicable issuer of a title insurance policy or a primary mortgage insurance policy covering the Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by the policy, and by the Takeout Investor, and its terms are reflected in the Credit File. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by MBF, the Takeout Investor and any applicable issuer of a title insurance policy or a primary mortgage insurance policy covering the Mortgage Loan, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Credit File.

30. Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such parties. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified 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. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Credit File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth herein. There has been no misrepresentation, error or fraud committed in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

31. Assignment of Mortgage. The assignment of mortgage to MBF is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

32. Escrow Holdback Loans. In the event that an escrow holdback was established in connection with the Mortgage Loan, Seller represents and warrants that:

[Compliance]

33. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The origination of the Mortgage Loan was in compliance with all federal, state, local and municipal laws, ordinances, rules and regulations including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing and lending disclosure laws.

34. Servicing Performance. Prior to the Acquisition Date, the Mortgage Loan has been properly serviced in accordance with all applicable laws, the terms of the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and related documents. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of Seller 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 all applicable laws, the Agreement and any applicable Takeout Commitment. 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 Mortgage Note. All mortgage payment and mortgage interest rate adjustments and notices thereof have been made in strict compliance with all applicable laws and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and any applicable riders or modifications to the Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to all applicable laws has been properly paid and credited. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments, ground rents relating to the Mortgage Loan have been paid to the extent such items are required to be paid pursuant to prudent mortgage banking standards and as herein provided.

35. Acceptable Investment. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

36. Agency Requirements. If the Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Security is to be acquired by the Takeout Investor under (a) an FHA mortgage loan purchase program, the Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable HUD guidelines and regulations, including those relating to underwriting, is insured or guaranteed by FHA, complies with all Ginnie Mae requirements relating to mortgage loans included in the Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities pools, and complies or shall comply, on or before the prescribed dates with all Ginnie Mae document custodian requirements; and (b) a conventional conforming mortgage loan purchase program, the Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, including those relating to underwriting, all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements relating to mortgage loans included in Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities pools, and complies or shall comply, on or before the prescribed dates, with all Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac document custodian requirements.

37. Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, 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 the Mortgaged Property is located and (b) (i) organized under the laws of such state, (ii) qualified to do business in such state, (iii) a federal savings and loan association or national bank having principal offices in such state, or (iv) not doing business in such state.

38. Origination; Loan Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved under all applicable regulations.

39. Underwriting. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Agency Guidelines for underwriting and any underwriting conditions relating to the Mortgage Loan were fully satisfied, the satisfaction of those underwriting conditions is properly documented in accordance with standard industry practices, and such documentation has been, to the extent required by the Takeout Investor, submitted to the Takeout Investor.

40. [Intentionally Omitted]

41. Prepayment Fees. In the event that the Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to pay a fee if the Mortgage Loan is prepaid in full or part within the time periods specified in the Mortgage Note, the provision in the Mortgage Note requiring the payment of such fee (the “Prepayment Provision”) complies with all applicable local, state and federal law, all disclosures required under all applicable law in connection with the Prepayment Provision have been properly provided to the Mortgagor and the enforcement of the Prepayment Provision in accordance with the terms set forth in the mortgage note will be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

[Insurance]

42. [intentionally omitted]

43. Government Loans. If the Mortgage Loan is subject to a commitment which provides that such Mortgage Loan will be insured by FHA, the Mortgage Loan is fully insured, and all insurance premiums due on or before the purchase date have been paid in full.

44. Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA form of lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to the Takeout Investor, issued by, and the binding obligation of, a title insurer acceptable to HUD, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, if required, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a first lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, or as to the second priority lien (if the Mortgage Loan is indicated by Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan on the Loan Purchase Detail) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions for the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the mortgage interest rate and monthly payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required title insurance unless the premium for such insurance was not paid by the Mortgagor. 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. With the exception of any applicable Takeout Investor, Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of MBF without any further act. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

45. Hazard and Flood Insurance. The improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured against loss by fire and other hazards as required by the Takeout Guidelines, including flood insurance if required under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Mortgage requires Mortgagor to maintain such casualty insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, and is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of MBF upon its purchase of the Mortgage Loan. All flood insurance and hazard insurance premiums have been paid when due. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the hazard insurance. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or of any prior servicer of the Mortgage Loan 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.

46. Coverage of Insurance. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable insurance policy or guarantee including, but not limited to, a title insurance policy, a hazard insurance policy, a primary mortgage insurance policy, FHA insurance coverage, or a mortgage pool insurance policy obtained in connection with the Mortgage Loan. In connection with the placement of any such insurance or guarantee, no commission, fee, other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received by Seller or any designee of Seller or any corporation in which Seller or any officer, director or employee of Seller had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, no such commission, fee, other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been received by any attorney, firm or other person or entity.

[Mortgaged Property]

47. No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the Mortgage and except as otherwise disclosed to MBF in writing.

48. Location of Improvements. 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, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, or the policy of title insurance affirmatively insures against loss or damage by reason of any violation, variation, encroachment or adverse circumstance which is either disclosed or would have been disclosed by an accurate survey. Seller has obtained a zoning letter to the effect that improvements located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property are conforming uses or permitted nonconforming uses.

49. Environmental Matters. Based on the Phase I environmental assessment and any Phase II environmental assessment, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances, and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation, except for such violations for which the mortgagor is in compliance with an approved O&M program. The Mortgaged Property is not within a one-mile radius of any site listed in the National Priorities List as defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or on any similar state list of hazardous wastes that are known to contain any hazardous substances or hazardous wastes.

50. No Encroachments. No improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property in any respect so as to effect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property.

51. [Intentionally Omitted]

52. No Condemnation and Mortgaged Property Undamaged. 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, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

53. Detrimental Conditions. As of the origination date and the Acquisition Date of the Mortgage Loan, Seller did not know, nor did Seller have any reason to know, that the Mortgaged Property and the improvements constructed thereon were subject to any detrimental conditions which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the market value of the Mortgaged Property. The term “detrimental conditions” includes, but is not limited to, expansive soils, underground mines, soil subsidence, landfills, superfund sites, special study zones, and other conditions which affect the stability of the improvements erected on the Mortgaged Property or the drainage on or from the Mortgaged Property.

54. [Intentionally Omitted]

55. Land Trust Loans. If legal and equitable title to the Mortgaged Property is held by a land trust, Seller represents the following, but only to the extent such representations are required by any applicable Agency with respect to such Mortgage Loans:

56. Leasehold Loans. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate, Seller represents the following, but only to the extent such representations are required by any applicable Agency with respect to such Mortgage Loans:

[Other Representations]

57. FHA. Each FHA-insured Mortgage Loan sold hereunder meets all applicable governmental requirements for such insurance. Each such Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder on the basis of a Takeout Commitment meets all requirements of such Takeout Commitment. Seller shall assure that such Mortgage Loans which are intended to be used in the issuance of Mortgage Securities or asset-backed securities shall comply or, prior to the issuance of any such Mortgage Security or asset-backed securities, shall comply with the requirements of the governmental instrumentality, department or agency issuing or guaranteeing such Mortgage Security or asset-backed securities or at least one Takeout Investor that purchases similar Mortgage Loans for securitization and two Rating Agencies.

58. Ginnie Mae. For Mortgage Loans which will be used to back Ginnie Mae Mortgage-backed Securities, Seller has received from Ginnie Mae a Confirmation Notice or Confirmation Notices for Request Additional Commitment Authority and for Request Pool Numbers, and there remains available thereunder a commitment on the part of Ginnie Mae sufficient to permit the issuance of Ginnie Mae Mortgage-backed Securities in an amount at least equal to the amount of such Mortgage Loans designated by Seller as those Mortgage Loans to be used to back such Ginnie Mae Mortgage-backed Securities; each such Confirmation Notice is in full force and effect; each of such Mortgage Loans has been assigned by Seller to one of such Pool Numbers and a portion of the available Ginnie Mae Commitment has been allocated thereto by Seller, in an amount at least equal to such Mortgage Loans; and each such assignment and allocation has been reflected in the books and records of Seller.
