(iii)

This Agreement, each Request for an Advance and all other documents and instruments executed by Borrower hereunder constitute or will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, any memorandum of understanding with any regulatory authority or any instrument or agreement to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or any substantial portion of its assets is bound; and there has not occurred any Default or Event of Default hereunder.

(iv)

The balance sheet of the Borrower and the statement of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower heretofore furnished to Lender, are the most recently available quarterly balance sheet, statement of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower and fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower as of the date specified therein and for the period (specified therein) then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles or other commercially reasonable methods consistently applied, and subsequent to the date of said financial statements there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or the business or operations of the Borrower.

(v)

The proceeds of each Advance will be used exclusively to provide financing to originate or carry Mortgage Loans.

(vi)

Borrower is approved and in good standing with the Agencies or any other applicable governing agency from whom Borrower has, or contemplates obtaining, a Take-out with full right to take such actions and discharge such responsibilities as are conferred by such status, and in particular to originate the Mortgage Loans and deliver them to the Investor.

(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date with respect to any Advance, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender:

(i)

The information pertaining to such Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true, correct and complete to the best of Borrower’s knowledge.

(ii)

The Borrower has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan and there has been no delinquency in any payment by the mortgagor thereunder.

(iii)

There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other outstanding charges affecting the Mortgaged Property.

(iv)

The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. No mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part.

(v)

The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including 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 the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(vi)

All improvements constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency and generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire and

such other risks as may be included in the broad form of extended insurance coverage, as may be available from time to time, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area then identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance is then available), there is in effect a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a financially responsible insurance carrier acceptable to the applicable Agency, in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such individual insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a “standard” or “New York” mortgagee clause naming the Borrower, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, provide for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower of any cancellation thereof, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the mortgagor’s cost and 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 cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the mortgagor.

(vii)

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, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with.

(viii)

The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, 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 satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.

(ix)

Unless otherwise notified to Lender by the Borrower and agreed to by Lender in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the mortgagor has fee simple estate in and to the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual residential condominium unit, all of which constitutes real property under the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located and Borrower is qualified to do business.

(x)

The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, all buildings

constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing). Such lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording which are (i) acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, USDA or RHS, to the FHA, VA, USDA or RHS, (ii) specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to Borrower and (iii) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for Borrower or which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, USDA or RHS, prevent realization of the benefits provided by any FHA insurance or VA, USDA or RHS guaranty. 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 on the property described therein.

(xi)

The 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 the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(xii)

All parties to any agreement affecting the Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, had legal capacity to enter into such agreement and to execute and deliver such agreement and each such agreement has been duly and properly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties.

(xiii)

The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation or requirement for future advances thereunder by the holder of the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.

(xiv)

Except as otherwise described in writing to Lender, the Note and the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged by the Borrower except to Lender as provided herein. The Borrower or its agent, and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan originated by one of Borrower’s correspondents,

Borrower’s correspondent and its agent, or the title company handling the closing of the Mortgage Loan, has had continuous sole and complete possession of all the documents in the Mortgage File prior to the Closing Date. At the time of the pledge of the Mortgage Loan to Lender, the Borrower had good and marketable title thereto.

(xv)

In the case of a conventional Mortgage Loan, (a) the Loan-to-Value Ratio either (i) is not more than 80% or (ii) is not more than 95% and the excess over 80% is and will be insured by a policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance issued by a mortgage guaranty insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC until the Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% or otherwise meets guidelines for an applicable FNMA or FHLMC product (i.e., DU Refi Plus), (b) the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium and (c) all provisions of any primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy have been and are being complied with and such policy is in full force and effect and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to any such policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith.

(xvi)

Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association form of lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of title insurance policy acceptable to the applicable Agency (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, USDA or RHS, the FHA, VA, USDA or RHS, as the case may be), issued by a title insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency and qualified to do business in the state of the Mortgaged Property, insuring the Borrower, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Borrower is the sole insured under such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy and no holder of the Mortgage Loan, including the Borrower, has done or omitted to do anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

(xvii)

If the Mortgage Loan is insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, it shall be either (i) guaranteed by the VA to the maximum extent permitted by law for a veteran who has not used any part of his entitlement and the uninsured portion thereof upon origination was not more than 75% or the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) fully insured by the FHA and all necessary steps have been taken to make and keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable, and such guaranty or insurance is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the VA or the FHA, as the case may be, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense.

(xviii)

There is no default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under the Note or Mortgage and no event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither the Borrower nor any person having or having had an interest therein has waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(xix)

There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that could give rise to any such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal to coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage requires the mortgagor promptly to cause any such liens, as well as liens which are junior to the lien of the Mortgage, to be removed.

(xx)

All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundary and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property in any respect so as to affect the marketability of the Mortgaged Property.

(xxi)

The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Borrower.

(xxii)

The Note is payable monthly in self-amortizing installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in arrears, providing for full amortization by maturity or a balloon payment, over an original term in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Agency. The original principal amount of the Note was not more than the amount prescribed by Lender. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(xxiii)

The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, for the total or partial condemnation or taking by eminent domain thereof.

(xxiv)

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. 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 under a power of sale, or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

(xxv)

The Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan contains all of the documents required by, and such documents are in the form required by all applicable underwriting guidelines.

(xxvi)

The Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan contains all of the documents required by, and a clear to close letter has been issued by the Investor’s underwriter.

(xxvii)

To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.

(xxviii)

The Note is not, and has not been, secured by any collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (x) above and the mortgage was not given as collateral or security for the performance of obligations of any person other than the mortgagor.

(xxix)

At the time of origination by the Borrower, or at the time of the acquisition of the Mortgage Loan by the Borrower from any correspondent, the Mortgage Loan met the requirements for investment by the Borrower.

(xxx)

Neither the Borrower nor the mortgagor has made any statement or taken any other action that would impair or invalidate the coverage provided by any primary mortgage guaranty insurance, FHA insurance or VA, USDA or RHS guaranty or any hazard, title or other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property.

(xxxi)

The Borrower has no knowledge of any circumstance or condition with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the mortgagor or the mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably 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.

(xxxii)

The Mortgage Loan has been duly and validly pledged by the Borrower under this Agreement, and this Agreement, together with such pledge and delivery, creates as security for the Advances, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in respect of each Advance hereunder in favor of Lender in such Mortgage Loan and all proceeds, products and profits derived therefrom, and incidents thereto, including, without limitation, all accounts, general intangibles, instruments, moneys, goods, insurance proceeds and other

tangible or intangible property received upon liquidation thereof and no further action is required to create, preserve and perfect such security interest.

(xxxiii)

There is no litigation pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, which, if determined adversely to the Borrower, would adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement, any Request for an Advance, Assignment of Mortgage, the pledge of any Mortgage Loan to Lender or the ability of the Borrower to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Borrower.

(xxxiii)

The Mortgage Loan is a residential mortgage loans conforming to the requirements of the applicable Agency and is not a construction loan, a loan secured by a manufactured home or co-operative or a high-cost or Jumbo loan.

In addition, Maker shall pay to the holder hereof (a) reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder in the protection of any security for this Note or the collection of any indebtedness evidenced hereby, (b) costs of collection and (c) during any period in which a default exists hereunder and/or any period of delinquency on any amounts not paid when due, interest at a rate per annum equal to two per cent (2%) above the rate otherwise in effect.

3. Late Charge. Maker shall pay a “late charge” for the purpose of defraying expense incident to handling upon any monthly installment of interest and/or principal, or portion thereof, referred to above not paid within ten (10) days after the date when first due at the rate of five cents (5¢) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue with a minimum charge of Twenty-Five and no/100 Dollars ($25.00) and an additional “late charge” for purposes of defraying expense incident to handling on the first day of each successive calendar month thereafter at the rate of five cents (5¢) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue with a minimum of Twenty-Five and no/100 Dollars ($25.00) per month until any such installment, or portion thereof, has been paid in full. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver by the holder of this Note of its option to declare a default if any payment of any installment of interest and/or principal, or portion thereof, is not made when due, and the assessment of a late charge shall not affect the right of the holder of this Note to increase the rate of interest as herein provided on all amounts not paid when due.

4. Valuation and Appraisement Laws. All principal, interest and other amounts payable under or with respect to this Note shall be payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws.

6. Security. This Note is given to evidence indebtedness of Maker to Lender arising in connection with the terms, provisions and conditions of a certain Mortgage Warehouse Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by and between Maker and Lender (such agreement as from time to time amended or modified is hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement”).

7. Events of Default. All of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and remaining unpaid shall, at the option of the holder and without demand or notice, become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following (each of which shall constitute an event of default hereunder):

(i)

a failure by Maker to make the payments required by this Note when due;

(ii)

a default under or a failure to comply with any of the terms, provisions, conditions, agreements or covenants of this Note which remains uncured for five (5) days after written notice from Lender to Maker; provided that there shall be no cure period for monetary defaults; or

Presentment, notice of dishonor and demand, protest and diligence in collection and bringing suit are hereby severally waived by Maker and each endorser or guarantor, each of whom consents that the time for the payment of this Note, or of any installment hereunder, may be extended from time to time without notice by the holder.

9. No Waiver. No waiver of any default or failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy by the holder of this Note shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default in the future or as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to the same or any other occurrence.

10. Prepayment. Maker may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time and from time to time without penalty.

In the event that the holder of this Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, then immediately upon becoming aware of such receipt, collection or application, the holder shall notify Maker of the usurious overcharge and refund to Maker the amount of any overcharge taken, plus interest on the overcharge taken at the rate in effect under this Note or at the maximum lawful rate, whichever is less, at the time the usurious interest rate was taken, and make whatever adjustments in this Note as are necessary to insure that Maker will not be required to pay any further interest in excess of the amount permitted under applicable law. Maker shall not institute any action or file any defense based upon the charging or collecting of usurious interest hereunder unless (i) Maker shall give the holder written notice of an intent to do so and (ii) the holder shall fail to comply with the terms hereof, by notification and refund to Maker and making necessary adjustments as aforesaid, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the holder of such written notice from Maker. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between the parties hereto that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

12. Loan Fees. In addition to all of the terms and conditions to be performed by Maker under this Note, Maker shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note.

13. Waiver of Trial by Jury.

MAKER, AND Lender BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. Maker acknowledges that Maker may have a right to a trial by jury in any such suit, action or proceeding and that Maker hereby is knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waiving any such right.
