Purchased Loan which is a Wet Ink Mortgage Loan, 95.0%) of the outstanding principal amount of such Purchased Mortgage Loan. 



    1.2 Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer that, at all times while the Agreement is in full force and effect, any and all obligations on the part of the Seller or the

other document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.
