Section 5.03. Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to Mortgage Loans.

 

As further inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement,Crescent
Banking Company, Crescent Mortgage Services, Inc., and Crescent Bank & Trust
Company, as Seller, represent and warrant to the Purchaser as of the date hereof
and as of the relevant Sale Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan, as follows:

 

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in each Mortgage Loan
Schedule is complete, true and correct. None of the Agency Agreements contains
any unusual or burdensome servicing obligations or provisions which are not
customary with respect to the Servicing Rights or contains provisions which vary
from published Agency standards or which would have the effect of rendering the
Purchaser’s servicing obligations recourse rather than nonrecourse, and no
waivers with respect to any published or unpublished Agency Requirements have
been obtained which adversely affect the credit quality or servicing of any
Mortgage Loan. Mortgage Loans subject to interest rate subsidies do not exceed
5% of the dollar amount of loans delivered under this Agreement. No Mortgaged
Property securing a Mortgage Loan is a mobile home or manufactured housing
unless such Mortgaged Property is eligible under the applicable FNMA and/or
FHLMC program.

 

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to, but not including,
the Transfer Date for each Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage
Note have been made. The Seller 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 subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the
payment of any amount required by the Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of
the Mortgage and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds with respect to taxes
and insurance premiums 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. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the
Mortgage Loan except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or
date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the
day that precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of
principal and interest.

 

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have
not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect from the date of
their origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if
necessary to protect the interests of the owner thereof. The substance of any
such waiver, alteration or modification has been communicated to and approved
by: (i) the Agency acquiring the related Mortgage Loan, to the extent required
by the related Agency Requirements; (ii) the issuer of any related PMI Policy;
and (iii) the title insurer, to the extent required by such policies, and its
terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been
released.

 

(e) Enforceability. Each Mortgage and Mortgage Note is genuine, valid, binding
and enforceable document according to its terms, and conforms to all applicable
laws and regulations, including without limitation the Federal Truth-in-Lending
Act, as amended, and Regulation Z. Neither the operation of any of the terms of
any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, nor the exercise of any right thereunder, will
render the Mortgage or Mortgage Note unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense (including
without limitation, the defense of usury), and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

 

(f) No Recourse. None of the Servicing Rights is subject to recourse against the
servicer for losses on liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, borrower defaults or
repurchase obligations upon the occurrence of non-payment or other events.

 

(g) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or
other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer
acceptable to the related Agency in accordance with the related Agency
Requirements against loss by fire, hazards included within an extended coverage
liability policy and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located. If upon origination of the Mortgaged Loan, the
Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance was required by federal regulation and such flood insurance has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. All
individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, 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 on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain
and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser on
behalf of the applicable Agency upon Purchaser’s acquisition

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the related Servicing Rights in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller
has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’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.

 

(h) Coinsurance Claims. There are no uninsured casualty losses or casualty
losses where coinsurance has been (and the Seller has no reason to believe, will
be) claimed by an insurance company or where the loss, exclusive of contents, is
greater than the recovery, less actual expenses incurred in such recovery from
the insurance carrier.

 

(i) Condemnation. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding
pending or threatened for the partial or total condemnation of any Mortgaged
Property, and the Seller has no notice that all or any part of any Mortgaged
Property has been or will be condemned.

 

(j) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Each of the Mortgage Loans has been
originated and serviced in compliance with all applicable requirements of any
federal, state or local law.

 

(k) 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.

 

(1) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located
in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel
of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a
two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium
project as defined in the Agency Guides, or an individual unit in a planned unit
development, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit
development conforms with the applicable Agency Requirements regarding such
dwellings, and no Mortgaged Property is a mobile home or manufactured housing
unless such Mortgaged Property is eligible under the applicable FNMA program.

 

(m) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements 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.

 

(n) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are
genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, or other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect
or the application of equitable principles in any proceeding whether at law or
in equity. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity
to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly
executed by such parties.

 

(o) Pools. Each Mortgage included in a Pool meets all eligibility requirements
for inclusion in such Pool, in accordance with all applicable Agency
Requirements. The Servicing Rights in respect of each Pool are eligible under
all applicable laws, regulations and Agency Requirements to be transferred

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to the Purchaser. The Servicing Files to be delivered to the Purchaser include
all documents necessary in order for the Purchaser’s Custodian to certify the
Pools in accordance with applicable Agency Requirements.

 

(p) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been
fully disbursed including any requirement for future advances thereunder, 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.

the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

 

(q) Escrow Accounts Current. Escrow Accounts are maintained by the Seller or a
third party custodian on behalf of Seller and have been maintained in accordance
with applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loans and the Agency Requirements
related thereto. The Escrow Payments required by the Mortgage which have been
paid to the Seller for the account of the Mortgagor are on deposit in the
appropriate Escrow Account. All funds received by the Seller in connection with
the Mortgage Loan, have been properly applied or promptly deposited in the
appropriate Escrow Account, and all such funds have been applied to reduce the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in question, or for reimbursement of
repairs to the Mortgaged Property or as otherwise required by applicable law and
the Agency Requirements.

 

(r) Doing Business. All parties that have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as mortgagee (including permitted Third Party Lenders), assignee, pledge
or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements
of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(s) LTV, PMI Policy, Pool Insurance. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than
95%. The original LTV of each Mortgage Loan either was not more than 80% or the
excess over 75% is and will be insured by a Qualified Insurer as to payment
defaults by a PMI Policy until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to a
level acceptable by FHLMC and/or FNMA, as applicable. 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. Any Mortgage Loan
subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI
Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage
Interest Rate for each Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan schedule
is net of any such insurance premium.

 

Loans covered by a pool insurance policy, and the pool insurance policy, must
meet the standards and requirements of the Agency. All documents regarding the
pool policy have been provided to the Seller. All premiums due under the pool
policy have been, or will be, paid by the Agency exclusive of service fee income
due Purchaser.

 

(t) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (1) an attorney’s
opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is
acceptable to the relevant Agency, or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance
policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to
the relevant Agency and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title
insurer acceptable to such Agency and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, and insures the Seller,
its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The relevant Agency, as assignee
of the Seller’s rights, is an insured under such lender’s title insurance
policy, and such lender’s policy is in full force and effect. No

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

claims have been made under such lender’s policy, and the Seller has not
committed any act or omission which would impair the coverage of such lender’s
policy.

 

(u) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and
neither the Seller nor its predecessors has waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration.

 

(v) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
known to Seller that have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights
are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

 

(w) Location of Improvement; No Encroachments; All improvements that were
considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lay
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property. No improvement located on or belonging to any part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation.

 

(x) Origination; Payment Terms; Age. Except as permitted under Section 2.03(q)
the Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller. The Mortgage Note is payable
each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, with
interest calculated and payable in arrears. The Mortgage Loans shall have closed
within sixty (60) days of their respective Sale Dates.

 

(y) Customary Provisions. 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 material
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. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor that, would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property by
trustees sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. Notwithstanding this
Section 5.03 (y), the remedies provided for in the Mortgage are subject to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in
effect or the application of equitable principles in any proceeding whether at
law or in equity.

 

(z) Conformance with Agency Standards. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in
accordance with applicable Agency underwriting standards in effect at the time
the Mortgage Loan was originated, and each Mortgage Loan is in conformity with
applicable Agency standards under one of its respective home mortgage purchase
programs as amended by Seller’s master agreements with the Agencies, and the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to such Agency.

 

(aa) Occupancy of the Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be
made or issued under applicable law or regulations with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy
thereof, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made by or obtained from the appropriate
authorities.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(bb) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured
by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage.

 

(cc) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or
expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser, or the relevant Agency, or
their respective successors and assigns to the trustee under the deed of trust,
except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

 

(dd) Acceptable Investment. The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or
conditions with respect to the Mortgage, 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 or the related
Servicing Rights as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to
become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the
Mortgage Loan or the related Servicing Rights.

 

(ee) Condominiums Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit or a planned unit development such condominium or planned unit
developed project meets the relevant Agency Requirements or is located in a
condominium or planned unit development project which has received project
approval by the such Agency and the representations and warranties required by
such Agency with respect to such condominium or planned unit development have
been made and remain true and correct in all respects. No more than 5% of the
Mortgage Loans (by number of Mortgage Loans) are secured by a Mortgaged Property
which is a condominium or planned unit development.

 

(ff) Transfer of Mortgage Loan. The Assignment of Mortgage, if applicable, is
recorded or is in recordable form, as required, and, if in recordable form, is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(gg) Buydown Provisions: No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interest. No more
than 5% of the Mortgage Loans (by number of Mortgage Loans) contain a “buydown”
provision. Except for such Mortgage Loans, there are no Mortgage Loans subject
to provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with
funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor
or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor or which contain any other similar
provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not
a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

 

(hh) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made prior to the
Settlement Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first
lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring
the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
the applicable Agency. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(ii) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste,
fire, earthquake, or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado, hazardous or
toxic substances or other

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

 

(jj) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination and collection
practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with
the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, rules, regulations and Agency
Requirements and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments shall be in the
possession of the Purchaser on the Settlement Date and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.

 

(kk) Notice of Relief Requested Pursuant to the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act
1940. The Seller has not received notice from any Mortgagor or other party with
respect to the Mortgage Loans of a request for relief pursuant to or involving
any of the provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 or any
other federal or state law which would have the effect of suspending or reducing
the Borrower’s payment obligations under a Mortgage Loan or which would prevent
such loan from going into foreclosure.

 

(11) Loan Documentation. None of the Mortgage Loans have been originated and
underwritten without required documentation in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable Agency Guides, as amended by Seller’s master agreements with the
Agencies.

 

(mm) Tax Service Contracts. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 (m),
Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to ensure that a “Life of Loan” tax
contract shall be in place for each Mortgage Loan with TransAmerica Real Estate
Tax Service.

 

(nn) Eligible Loans and Percent Limitations. The Servicing Rights sold under
this Agreement conform to the specifications in the Mortgage Loan
Characteristics attached hereto as Exhibit B. Except with respect to no more
than five percent (5%) of the Mortgage Loans (“Odd Maturity Loans”), all loans
are either 15 year fixed rate, 30 year fixed rate, 7 year balloon, or one year
ARM Mortgage Loans sold to FHLMC under the FHLMC Gold Program. With respect to
the Odd Maturity Loans, these loans shall be priced as 15 year fixed rate loans.
The following characteristics exist for loans sold as of each Sale Date.

 

(i) The average loan size is:

 

$100,000 for 30 year fixed;

$  75,000 for 15 year fixed;

$125,000 for 7 year balloon;

$105,000 for one year ARMS

 

(ii) The weighted average service fee is no more than .29% for fixed rate
mortgages and .375% for ARMS.

 

(iii) The minimum average escrow balance is 1.04% of the principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan.

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) The Mortgage Loans are current originations and are originated within 60
days of the Issue Date and will reflect the normal distribution of interest
rates without any adverse selection.

 

(v) The weighted average mortgage rate is representative of current production
and reflective of current market interest rates, but in no event is any
individual Mortgage Loan interest rate greater than 8.5% for 30 year fixed rate
loans and 8% for all other maturities.

 

(vi) Purchaser and Seller recognize that the criteria on Exhibit B represents
limitations of the servicing to be delivered at the respective Transfer Dates.
Both the Purchaser and the Seller recognize that flexibility is important as
long as the economic value of the servicing to be delivered at the respective
Transfer Date is not materially different from the criteria outlined on Exhibit
B.

 

(oo) The Seller’s accounting method with respect to service fees associated with
the servicing rights sold under the Agreement conforms to the “Safe Harbor”
provisions of Revenue Ruling 91-46. This is in effect and will continue to
remain in effect for the servicing rights delivered under the Agreement.

 

Section 5.04. Compliance with Percentage Limitations.

 

The Seller shall be deemed to have complied with the percentage limitations on
condominium and buydown loans set forth in Section 5.03 (ee) and (gg) if the
aggregate number of Mortgage Loans having such feature for which Servicing
Rights have been transferred hereunder comply with such limitations.

thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Purchaser to cure

by the Purchaser. At the Purchaser’s option, the Purchaser may deduct such
Reimbursement Amount from the Purchase Price payable on the next Purchase Price
Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.02. If no such subsequent Purchase
Price Payment Date occurs for any reason or if after such deductions, any
Reimbursement Amount remains unpaid, such Reimbursement Amount shall be paid as

In addition to such reimbursement obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the
Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgment,
and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or

officers, employees and agents shall be indemnified and held harmless from and
against any and all losses to the extent resulting from any breach of any
representation or warranty or omission by Seller of any fact or set of facts in

Upon receipt by the Purchaser of notice from an Agency of a breach of any
representation or warranty by Seller contained in applicable Agency Requirements
and/or any request for the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant thereto, the
Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller thereof. Within thirty (30) calendar
days of the Seller’s receipt of such notice from Purchaser, the Seller shall
inform the Purchaser of the Seller’s preferred response to such repurchase
request and a written explanation of the basis of such response. The Purchaser
shall furnish to Seller, upon written request, a copy of the collection activity
records on any Mortgage Loan subject to repurchase. The Purchaser shall
determine whether the Seller’s disagreement with any repurchase request is
reasonable. The Seller shall repurchase from the Purchaser any Mortgage Loan
with respect to which the Purchaser has been required by any Agency to
repurchase due to a breach by Seller of a representation or warranty made or
incorporated into relevant Agency Agreements and not due to a breach of the
Purchaser’s obligations thereunder arising after the relevant Settlement Date or
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes ninety (90) days delinquent and goes
into foreclosure within six (6) months of the applicable Sale Date, Seller shall
repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser and refund the Purchase Price.

 

The repurchase price to be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser shall equal that
repurchase price paid by the Purchaser to the related Agency plus all reasonable
costs and expenses borne by the Purchaser in connection with the repurchase of
such Mortgage Loan from such Agency including, but not limited to, all costs and
expenses of Purchaser incurred to cure such breach and reasonable attorneys’

Requirements. In the event of a repurchase, the Purchaser shall, simultaneously
with such reassignment, give written notice to the Seller that such repurchase
has taken place, and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the deletion of
the repurchased Mortgaged Loan from this Agreement and forward to the Seller all
the Mortgage Loan Documents, Servicing Files, related Escrow Accounts and
records and documents relating to such Mortgage Loan.

of its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any losses,

related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser

relevant claim arises, from and against, and shall reimburse it or them for, any
losses (including loss of Servicing Rights), of any nature (including attorney’s
fees and foreclosures costs) incurred before or after the Settlement Date to the
extent relating to or resulting from:

 

(i) the non-fulfillment or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or action
required of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the failure to comply with the Servicing Transfer Procedures;

 

(ii) any act or omission, or alleged act or omission, or error, of the Seller or
any employee, agent or representative acting on its behalf, with respect to the
origination, underwriting, closing, or any of the Mortgage Loans or the
formation of any Pools or any document, agreement or instrument relating
thereto, occurring on or prior to the Settlement Date:

 

(iii) any fraud or misrepresentation in the origination of any Mortgage Loan
whether or not as a result of any act or omission of the Seller or any employee,
representative or agent acting on its behalf or the Mortgagor under the Mortgage
Loan;

 

(iv) any of the Seller’s escrow practices, including any periods during which
the Purchaser continues such practices until such time as the Purchaser has
completed its regular escrow analysis cycle and any changes in payments made by
Purchaser as a result of such cycle go into effect;

 

(v) any liabilities of, claims against or obligations of the Seller (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, including, without limitation, any
tax claim asserted against the Purchaser with respect to any taxes relating to
the operations of the Seller) existing as of or prior to the Settlement Date
which were not expressly assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or
pursuant to any instrument of assumption executed by the Purchaser to consummate
the sale; and

 

(vi) the Seller’s failure to (a) provide the Purchaser all Agency Agreements,
internal documents, loan agreements and other records which the Purchaser
requests, or (b) provide accurate information requested by the Purchaser
regarding the Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Rights.

 

The indemnity provided in this Section 6.04 shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by the Purchaser or its
representatives and shall survive the transfer of Servicing Rights and the
termination of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of a claim covered
by this indemnity, the Seller shall immediately assume defense of such claim at
its own cost and expense, with counsel approved by the Purchaser, and the Seller
shall be directly responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses and any
award or judgment which may become due as a result of such claim; provided,
however, that the Purchaser at its sole option instead may assume defense of
such claim and continue to be protected under this indemnity if it reasonably
believes such assumption is necessary or appropriate to discharge its
responsibilities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans or to preserve its authority
and approvals to service the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall not be entitled to
settle, compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any such claim
without the consent or agreement of the

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but
which may be denied because, among other reasons, it believes in good faith that
such settlement, compromise or other disposition is likely to have an adverse
impact on the Purchaser’s right or ability to enforce other mortgage loans or
servicing rights or to preserve its authority and approvals to service the
Mortgage Loans.

 

It is specifically understood that Crescent Banking Company by virtue of its
parental relationship agrees to be jointly and severally liable, along with
Crescent Mortgage Services, Inc., and Crescent Bank & Trust Company, to
Purchaser under this Section 6.04.

 

Section 6.05. Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations.

directors, employees and agents, as of the date hereof and when the relevant
claim arises, from and against and shall reimburse it or them for, any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees, and
related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses incurred by Seller to the
extent relating to or resulting from:

 

(i) any breach of Purchaser’s obligations under the Agency Agreements;

 

(ii) the non-fulfillment or nonperformance of any covenants, condition or action
required of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(iii) any act or omission, or alleged act or omission or error, of the Purchaser
or any employee, agent or representative acting on its behalf, with respect to
the servicing of any of the Mortgage Loans occurring after the Sale Date;

 

The indemnity provided in this Section 6.05 shall remain in full force and
effect and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Upon receipt of
written notice of a claim covered by this indemnity, the Purchaser shall
immediately assume defense of such claim at its own cost and expense, with
counsel approved by the Seller and the Purchaser shall be directly responsible
for the payment of all costs and expenses and any award or judgment which may
become due as a result of such claims; provided, however, that the Seller at its
sole option instead may assume defense of such claim and continue to be
protected under this indemnity if it reasonably believes such assumption is
necessary or appropriate. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to settle,
compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any such claim without
the consent or agreement of the Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

communications and certificates of public officials and the officers of the
Seller, and upon such other documents, and have made such other examination and

of public officials and officers and other representatives of the Seller, as
well as resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and officers of the

documents submitted to me as originals and conformity to original documents of

and delivery of the Agreements by the Purchaser, the Agreements constitute the
legal, valid and binding agreements of the Seller enforceable i accordance with
their respective terms except that the enforceability thereof (i) may be subject
to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium
or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by Seller, it
