“Eligible Loans” means Single-family Loans that are amortizing Conforming Mortgage Loans with original terms to stated maturities of thirty (30) years or less and that satisfy all applicable requirements of this Agreement for Conforming Mortgage Loans, and shall also mean Single-family Loans that are Jumbo Mortgage Loans and High LTV Mortgage Loans, that otherwise meet all criteria for Eligible Loans set forth on this Schedule EL and are not subject to a Disqualifier. Each Mortgage Loan must be secured by a first priority Lien on its related Mortgaged Premises. It may bear interest at a fixed interest rate, at a fluctuating interest rate or at a fixed or fluctuating interest rate for part of its term followed, respectively, by a fluctuating or fixed interest rate for the remainder of its term. No Mortgage Loan shall be an Eligible Loan at any time:

 

  (1) If the Mortgaged Premises securing it is a mobile home, manufactured housing, or cooperative housing unit.

 

  (2) That contains or is otherwise subject to any contractual restriction or prohibition on the free transferability of such Mortgage Loan, all Liens securing it and all related rights (other than Legal Requirements requiring notification to its obligor(s) of any transfer of it or of its servicing or administration), either absolutely or as security.

 

  (3) If any of its owners-mortgagors is a corporation, partnership or any other entity that is not a natural person or a trust for natural persons unless its full payment when due is guaranteed by a natural person.

 

  (4) If any of its owner-mortgagors is an Affiliate of the Seller or any of the Seller’s or any such Affiliate’s directors, members, or appointed officers.

 

  (5) Whose related Mortgaged Premises are not covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy.

 

  (6) That is a construction, rehabilitation or commercial loan.

 

  (7) In the case of a Jumbo Mortgage Loan, any of the following is true: (i) the Jumbo Mortgage Loan is not fully documented as to income or asset values, (ii) except with respect to a Jumbo Mortgage Loan (USBHM), the Jumbo Mortgage Loan is not eligible for purchase by two Approved Investors with short-term unsecured obligations rated not lower than A-1/P-1, which Approved Investors have granted Seller delegated authority to originate JumboMortgage Loans, or (iii) the Jumbo Mortgage Loan is not prior approved by an Approved Investor with short-term unsecured obligations rate not lower than A-1/P-1.

 

Ex. B-1


  (8) If the Loan was originated or acquired by the Seller more than thirty (30) days before its Purchase Date.

 

  (9) That is In Default or ever was In Default.

 

  (10) That contains any term or condition such that the repayment schedule results in the outstanding principal balance increasing over time, rather than amortizing, whether or not such Mortgage Loan is deemed to be an “option ARM”, “negative amortization” or “graduated payment” loan.

 

  (11) In connection with the origination of which a policy of single-premium life insurance on the life of a mortgagor, borrower or guarantor was purchased.

 

  (12) That (i) is subject to the special Truth-in-Lending disclosure requirements imposed by Section 32 of Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board (12 C.F.R. §226.32) or any similar state or local Law relating to high interest rate credit or lending transactions or (ii) contains any term or condition, or involves any loan origination practice, that (1) has been defined as “high cost”, “high risk”, “predatory”, “covered”, “threshold” or a similar term under any such applicable federal, state or local law, (2) has been expressly categorized as an “unfair” or “deceptive” term, condition or practice in any such applicable federal, state or local law (or the regulations promulgated thereunder) or (3) by the terms of such Law exposes assignees of Mortgage Loans to possible civil or criminal liability or damages or exposes any Buyer or the Agent to regulatory action or enforcement proceedings, penalties or other sanctions.

 

  (13) That the Seller or any Affiliate has previously warehoused with any other Person, whether under a lending arrangement or an arrangement involving a sale in contemplation of a subsequent further sale to (or securitization by) a secondary mortgage market purchaser, whether with or without the Seller’s having any conditional repurchase or other recourse obligation, and that was rejected or became ineligible or disqualified to be lent against or purchased and held by such other Person.

 

  (14) That the Seller or any Affiliate sold and transferred, or attempted to sell and transfer, to any other Person.

 

  (15)

That has a loan-to-value ratio greater than eighty percent (80%) unless (i) such Mortgage Loan is guaranteed by VA or USDA or is insured by FHA or private mortgage insurance provided by a provider acceptable to the Agent, (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Jumbo Mortgage Loan (USBHM) and has a loan to value ratio no greater than ninety

 

Ex. B-2


  percent (90%), or (iii) such Mortgage Loan is a High LTV Mortgage Loan or a Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan and has a loan-to-value ratio less than one hundred and five percent (105%).

 

  (16) As to which any Disqualifier exists.

 

  (17) Unless all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Loan is subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Buyers subject to no other liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances other than the Seller’s right to repurchase the Purchased Loan hereunder.

 

  (18) Unless all the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 15.3 and Schedule 15.4 are true and correct with respect to such Purchased Loan at all times on and after the related Purchase Date, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall have three (3) Business Days after issuance of the Custodian’s Exception Report to correct any document exceptions listed therein.

 

  (19) That is not covered by an Investor Commitment or a Hedge Agreement.
