If a Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on any day prior to the related Repurchase Date, on such day, such Seller shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Buyer the Repurchase Price in full together with Breakage Costs, if any. The related Seller shall give at least one (1) Business Days' prior written notice to Buyer if such repurchase shall occur on a date other than the related Repurchase Date. (b) Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 9(a) and (b) have been satisfied, each Purchased Asset shall become subject to a new Transaction on the related Repurchase Date unless the Seller shall have otherwise notified the Buyer at least one (1) Business Day prior to the related Repurchase Date, provided that if the new Repurchase Date so determined is later than the Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall automatically reset to the Termination Date, and the provisions of this sentence as it might relate to a new Transaction shall expire on such date. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. (c) If Seller repurchases related Purchased Assets on any day which is not a Repurchase Date for such Purchased Assets, or if Seller fails to give one (1) Business Day notice pursuant to Section 3(b) prior to repurchasing related Purchased Assets on a Repurchase Date for such Purchased Assets, such Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained ("Breakage Costs"), as applicable; provided, however, that notwithstanding the Seller's failure to provide the required notice, Breakage Costs for Purchased Assets repurchased on any single day will be deemed to equal zero if (1) Buyer receives the Repurchase Price for the related Purchased Assets no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City Time, on such day, (2) the aggregate Repurchase Price for all such Purchased Assets repurchased on such day is less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and (3) the buyer of such Purchased Assets is DB Structured Products, Inc., as Buyer under this Master Repurchase Agreement. -17-  Buyer shall deliver to such Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith by Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon such Seller absent manifest error. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder. 4. ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS; TRANSACTION NOTICE, CONFIRMATIONS a. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, the Buyer may enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price then in effect.

Any notice given on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the next Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date.

INCOME PAYMENTS Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over a date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default has occurred, and no Margin Deficit exists, Buyer agrees that Sellers shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received by Servicer in respect of any Purchased Asset to the full extent it would be so entitled if such Purchased Asset had not been sold to Buyer; provided that (a) any Income received by Servicer other than Income resulting from the payment in full of the outstanding principal balance of any Loan (such payments, collectively, "Payments in Full") while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be remitted by Servicer to the Collection Account and distributed in accordance with the Servicing Side Letter. 8.

However, in order to preserve Buyer's rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for each Seller's performance of all of its Obligations, each Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in such Seller's right, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: the Purchased Assets, the related Records, all Hedge Instruments, all mortgage guaranties and insurance relating to such Purchased Assets (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance -19-  certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to such Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder, any purchase agreements or other agreements or contracts relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, all "accounts" as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, any security account and all rights to Income and the rights to enforce such payments arising from any of the Purchased Assets, the Servicing Rights, all guarantees or other support for the related Loans, and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively the "Collateral"). Sellers hereby authorize Buyer, at Sellers' expense, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets without Seller's signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and appoints Buyer as Sellers' attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Sellers' name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue the lien and security interest granted hereby and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents and execute assignments on behalf of each Seller as its attorney-in-fact.

No Seller is contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of itself or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by each Seller upon the sale of the related Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets. No Seller is transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. l. Investment Company Act Compliance.

REMEDIES Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(f) or (g) hereof), shall have any or all of the following rights and remedies, which may be exercised by Buyer: a. The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately to occur (except that, if the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). b. Sellers' obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price, together with Breakage Costs, if any, therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Sellers hereunder; the Sellers shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee, any and all original documents, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in any Sellers' possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee. Buyer may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(b) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder. Sellers shall remain liable to the Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to Breakage Costs, costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations. The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and -40-  nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Sellers' assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer's Affiliates or its designee (including the Custodian); including the right to liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; provided that Buyer may not proceed against any of Sellers' assets held by Buyer or its Affiliates in the capacity of trustee or custodian in connection with any warehouse, repurchase or loan facility in which Buyer or an Affiliate thereof is not a buyer or a lender. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Assets, any other collateral or its proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller hereunder against all of Sellers' Obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such Obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer's right to recover any deficiency. Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Sellers or any third party acting for Sellers and Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer may direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate. Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate), and Breakage Costs and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Assets. Each Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited with Custodian (or such other Person as Buyer may direct) after receipt thereof. Buyer shall without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder to do. Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Sellers hereby expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any right Sellers might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Sellers also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Sellers might otherwise have to the -41-  Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Sellers recognize that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length. In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Sellers. 20. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or farther exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies. 21. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") shall be used by any party hereto in a Transaction. 22. COSTS; INDEMNITY a. Sellers agree to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer with respect to advising Buyer as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement, with respect to negotiations with Sellers or with other creditors of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors' rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement (including any waivers), whether in any action, suit or litigation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or other -42-  similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. b. Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach of a representation or warranty of Sellers or any of their officers in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto) (i) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, (ii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, or (iii) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Sellers against the Indemnified Party, and Sellers are ultimately the successful parties in any resulting litigation or arbitration. Sellers also agree not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. c. Without limitation on the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by any Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 19 or for any other reason, such Seller shall, except as otherwise provided in Sections 15(c) and 24, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer any Breakage Costs incurred as of a result of such payment. d. If Sellers fail to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Sellers by Buyer, in its sole discretion. e. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Sellers hereunder, the easements and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of -43-  the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor. 23. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS Sellers hereby expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Buyer or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto. 24. REIMBURSEMENT All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain Sellers' obligation. Sellers agree to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Buyer and/or Custodian in connection with the preparation, enforcement (including any waivers), administration and amendments of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Buyer (without duplication to Buyer) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto, any "due diligence" or loan agent reviews conducted by Buyer or on its behalf or any refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a "workout". If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Sellers agree to pay to Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by Buyer to compensate Buyer for such increased costs. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of any such change in the eurocurrency reserve requirement or the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, Sellers will have the right to terminate all Transactions then outstanding as of a date selected by Sellers, which date shall be prior to the applicable Repurchase Date and which date shall thereafter for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Repurchase Date. In addition, Buyer shall promptly notify Sellers if any events in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 24 occur. 25. FURTHER ASSURANCES Sellers agree to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Buyer such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Buyer to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Buyer in the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Buyer its rights, powers and remedies hereunder. -44-  26. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that they are jointly and severally liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities of each of the Sellers hereunder. The Sellers hereby further acknowledge and agree that (a) any Default, Event of Default or breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by any Seller under this Agreement is hereby considered a Default, Event of Default or breach by each Seller, and (b) the Buyer shall have no obligation to proceed against one Seller before proceeding against the other Seller. The Sellers hereby waive any defense to their obligations under this Agreement, based upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or cessation of liability of one Seller versus the other or of any other Person, and (c) waive any right of subrogation or ability to proceed against any Person. A Seller's subrogation claim arising from payments to Buyer shall constitute a capital investment in another Seller (1) subordinated to any claims of Buyer, and (2) equal to a ratable share of the equity interests in such Seller. 27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION This Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, term sheets, agreements and understandings between the parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Assets thereto, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior contract shall have any validity hereafter. 28. TERMINATION This Agreement shall remain in effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the date which is 364 days after the Effective Date, and (ii) at Buyer's option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. However, no such termination shall affect the related Sellers' outstanding obligations to Buyer at the time of such termination. Each Seller's obligations to indemnify Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof. If a Seller requests an extension of the Termination Date with respect to (i) above and Buyer fails to respond to such request, such failure shall be deemed a rejection of such request. 29. ASSIGNMENT (a) The Program Documents are not assignable by the Sellers. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents; provided, however, Buyer shall maintain, for review by Sellers upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee ("Assignment and Acceptance"), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii) another Person approved by Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) which -45-  assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Sellers shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Sellers. Notwithstanding any assignment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 29, Buyer shall remain liable as to the Transactions. (b) The Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Transaction, its right to purchase Assets, or any other interest of the Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the event of any such sale by the Buyer of participating interests to a Participant, the Buyer's obligations under this Agreement to the Sellers shall remain unchanged, the Buyer shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, the Buyer shall remain the owner of the Purchased Assets for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and the Sellers shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. The Sellers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Buyer under this Agreement; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Buyer the proceeds thereof. The Buyer also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 22 with respect to its participation; provided, that the Buyer and all Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate pursuant to such Sections than the Buyer would have been entitled to receive had no such transfer occurred. (c) The Buyer may furnish any information concerning the Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants); provided, however, that Buyer must provide Sellers with a notice in writing with respect to the provision of any such information to any prospective assignee. (d) The Sellers agree to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver such replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation. The Sellers further agree to furnish to any Participant identified by the Buyer to the Sellers copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer hereunder, as and when delivered to the Buyer. 30. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any failure to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in -46-  writing and signed by each Seller and Buyer, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 31. SEVERABILITY If any provision of any Program Document is declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 32. BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that no Seller may assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Program Document without the prior written consent of the Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 33. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION SELLERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. SELLERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLERS HEREBY SUBMIT TO, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION SELLERS MAY HAVE TO, NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS. 34. SINGLE AGREEMENT Each Seller and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfer in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. -47-  35. INTENT Sellers and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended ("USC") and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC. It is understood that Buyer's right to liquidate the Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder, accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the USC. 36. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS Except as provided herein, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective and deemed delivered only when received by the party to which it is sent; provided, however, that a facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be received when transmitted so long as the transmitting machine has provided an electronic confirmation (without error message) of such transmission.

Furthermore, the Buyer is not responsible and shall have no liability with respect to the allocation of funds between the Sellers. In the event that the Buyer pays the incorrect Seller with respect to a Transaction, such Seller (and not the Buyer) shall be liable to the other Seller for any funds not dispersed to the other Seller provided such funds have not been returned to the Buyer. 37. CONFIDENTIALITY This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Agent and shall be held by each Seller (and each Seller shall cause Servicer to hold it) in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of the Buyer except for (i) disclosure to a Seller's direct and indirect parent companies, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality or (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) with prior written notice to Buyer, to any approved Hedge Counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedge Instrument hereunder or (iv) with prior written notice to Buyer, any required Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities' law disclosures or filings, which shall not include the Pricing Side Letter unless otherwise agreed by Buyer in writing.

The Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by the Buyer or its Affiliates to Sellers or their Affiliates against all of Sellers' and their Affiliates' obligations to the Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between any Seller or any Affiliate of such Seller and any Affiliate of the Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to the Buyer's or its Affiliate's right to recover any deficiency. The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Sellers after any such set-off and application made by the Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 39. COUNTERPARTS This Agreement and each other Program Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 40.

Sellers shall pay Buyers' out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any due diligence hereunder. 41.

In agreeing to purchase such non-Eligible Assets, Buyer may impose such pricing and other terms and conditions as in its sole discretion it determines necessary. Upon Buyer's purchase of any such non-Eligible Asset pursuant to this Section 41, such Asset shall be deemed to be an Eligible Asset for all purposes of this Master Repurchase Agreement except that the representations and warranties of Sellers with respect to such Assets shall be deemed to have been modified to the extent agreed by Buyer and the applicable Seller at the time of such purchase. Buyer's purchase of any such non-Eligible Asset pursuant to this Section 41 shall be deemed to be a purchase solely under this Section 41 and shall not constitute a waiver of any requirement, condition or other provision of this Agreement.

The information set forth in the Asset Schedule with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct. (b) Payments Current. Other than Delinquent Loans, which are subject to the sub-limits set forth in the Pricing Side Letter, (i) all payments required to be made up to the related Purchase Date for the Loan under the terms of the Note have been made and credited and (ii) no payment required under the Loan has been thirty (30) days or more delinquent since origination of such Loan. (c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, 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, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No Seller has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Borrower, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder. (d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note 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 the Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Borrower in respect of the 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 Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. Except with respect to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans, neither the Note nor the Mortgage have any marks or notations indicating that they are currently pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer. (e) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of D-1  rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Borrower in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated. (f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Sellers as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan with respect to each First Mortgage Loan (plus, if the Loan is an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization permitted by the Note) or (B) with respect to each Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan or second lien HELOC, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the First Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance of the Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan or HELOC (plus, if the Loan is an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization permitted by the Note), (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier and such policy conforms to the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the "hazard insurance policy") contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Holdings, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days' prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Sellers. All premiums due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such Borrower's failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Borrower's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Borrower. Where required by state law or regulation, the Borrower has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a 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 and is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Borrower'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 either 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 D-2  attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Sellers. (g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection (including Uniform Consumer Credit Code Laws), fair credit reporting, unfair collection practices, equal credit opportunity, all applicable high cost lending laws, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws or disclosure laws applicable to the solicitation, origination, servicing and collection of the Loan or otherwise applicable to the Loan have been complied with, the Borrower received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Loan, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Sellers shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Buyer, and shall deliver to the Buyer, upon two Business Days' request, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. (h) 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. The Sellers have not waived the performance by the Borrower of any action, if the Borrower's failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor have the Sellers waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Borrower. (i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two or more family dwelling, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a cooperative dwelling. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was being used for commercial or mixed-use purposes and, to the Sellers' knowledge, since the date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes. No Loan finances builder inventory. (j) Valid Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Loan (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) which is indicated by the Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), in either case, on the real property included in 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. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: D-3  (1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually or in the aggregate 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; (4) in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is a condominium or an individual unit in a planned unit development, liens for common charges permitted by statute; and (5) with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each First Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to the Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, 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. (k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Borrower or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. The Borrower is a natural person who is a party to the Note and the Mortgage in an individual capacity and not in the capacity of a trustee or otherwise. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken placed on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Borrower, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Loan or in connection with the sale of such Loan to the Buyer, and there are no circumstances existing with respect to the Loan which would permit the primary mortgage D-4  guaranty insurer to deny coverage under any insurance policy. The Sellers have reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. (l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder (except with respect to a HELOC during the related Revolving Period), and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Borrower is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage. The Revolving Period under any HELOC is identified on the Asset Schedule and is accurate. No party other than the Buyer or Seller has any interest in any Draws that have been made under any HELOC. (m) Ownership. The Sellers or MERS as nominee for the Sellers is the sole owner and holder of the Loan. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Loan to the Sellers as a sale of its interests in such Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Sellers have good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, sell and assign the Loan to the Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each Loan, the Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state or exempt from such qualification in a manner so as not to affect adversely the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state or (D) not doing business in such state. (o) LTV; PMI Policy. As of the date of origination of the Loan, the LTV and CLTV (if applicable) are as identified on the Asset Schedule. No First Mortgage Loan had a loan-to-value ratio at origination in excess of 100%, other than a Loan that meets the guidelines of and is eligible for sale to, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD and has an LTV and CLTV (if applicable) no greater than 105%. No Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan or HELOC has a Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 100%. Each Loan is covered by a PMI Policy to the extent required pursuant to the Underwriting Guidelines. Any Conforming Loan having an original LTV of 80% or greater is covered by a PMI Policy. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The insurer under such PMI Policy is an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Any Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Borrower D-5  thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. Any such premium is not payable from any portion of the Mortgage Interest Rate. No Option ARM Loan allows for Negative Amortization when combined with the original principal balance of the Option ARM Loan would result in a CLTV in excess of 115%. (p) Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an ALTA Buyer's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or (ii) where (i) is not commercially available, an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which, and the use of such opinion in lieu of title insurance is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located and each such title insurance policy and attorney's opinion of title is issued by and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of a title insurer or attorney (as applicable) generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Loans and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Holdings, its successors and assigns, as to the first or second priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Loan with respect to a Loan other than a HELOC (including, if the Loan is an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) or the original Credit Limit, with respect to a HELOC, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2), (3) and, with respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) clause (4) of paragraph (j) of this Exhibit D, and in the case of adjustable rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment and with respect to a Loan including an Option ARM Loan which provides for Negative Amortization, the Negative Amortization provisions of the Note. Where required by state law or regulation, the Borrower has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such Buyer's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Holdings, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such Buyer's title insurance policy, and such Buyer's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such Buyer's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Sellers, have done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such Buyer's title insurance 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, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by any of the Sellers. (q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the 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 no Seller nor its predecessors have waived any D-6  default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, except that the Sellers may have accepted late payments, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums or water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. With respect to each Loan which is indicated by the Sellers to be a Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) (i) the first lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) 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 thereunder has occurred, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Closed-End Second Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage. (r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with the lien of the Mortgage except those that are stated in the title insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against by such policy. (s) Location of Improvements: No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those that are stated in the title insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against by such policy. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. (t) Origination: Payment Terms. The Loan was originated by the related Seller in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Except for an Option ARM Loan, Interest-Only Loan, or HELOC, principal payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to adjustable rate Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. Except for an Interest-Only Loan, Option ARM Loan or HELOC, the Note is payable on the day set forth in the Note in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 40 years from the date of origination. No Loan provides for a final maturity of greater than 30 years from the date of origination; provided, however, that an Option ARM Loan or Conforming Loan that initially provides for amortization over a term of more than 30 years may provide for a final maturity of up to 40 years D-7  from the date of origination. With respect to each Interest-Only Loan or Option ARM Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed the period specified on the Asset Schedule and following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Loan. With respect to HELOCs, the related Borrower may request advances up to the Credit Limit within the first ten years following the date of origination; each HELOC will amortize within thirty (30) years from the date of origination. With respect to each Option ARM Loan, the related Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires that such Option ARM Loan be fully amortized by the stated maturity date. Unless otherwise specified on the description of pool characteristics attached in the Asset Schedule, the Loan is payable on the first day of each month. (u) Customary Provisions. The Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Borrower on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property.

If, at the time of loan application, the Borrower may have qualified for a lower cost credit product than offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the originator of the Loan, such originator referred the Borrower's application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. (mmm) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for the Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Borrower's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Borrower's equity in the collateral as the principal determining D-15  factor in approving such credit extension.
