 5 









	 	 
interim recorded assignments of such mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the
assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may
exclude the information to be provided by the recording office; 


  

	 	(d)	 	the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; 

  

	 	(e)	 	either the original or duplicate original title policy (including all riders thereto) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, if available, provided that the title policy
(including all riders thereto) will be delivered as soon as it becomes available, and if the title policy is not available, and to the extent required pursuant to the second paragraph below or otherwise in connection with the rating of the
Certificates, a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and 

  

	 	(f)	 	in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following documents or instruments:

 (2) The executed Security Agreement; 
  
 (3) The executed Proprietary Lease; 
  
 (4) The executed Recognition Agreement;

 (6) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and
unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for recordation). 
  
 In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Seller cannot deliver (i) the original recorded Mortgage or (ii) all interim recorded
assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (b) or (c) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Seller
shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, 

  

 6 








 
if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Seller is
unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim
assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Seller shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (i) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) any other documents required to be delivered by the Seller to the Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and
the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the
Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded Mortgage. 
  
 In addition, in the event that in
connection with any Mortgage Loan the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (v) above, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof because the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Seller shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original
or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy be
made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Seller is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders
thereto) because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt
thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required
pursuant to this Section 3.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute or cause to be substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase or cause to be repurchased the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted 

  

 7 








 
Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 4.1), provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan
within the thirty-day period provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the
cure period provided for in Section 4.1 hereof shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to cure or cause to be cured such failure to
deliver. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 Representations and Warranties 
  
 Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. (a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date of
execution and delivery hereof, that: 
  
 (1) The
Seller is duly organized as a Kansas corporation and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted
by the Seller in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent
necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan and to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. 
  
 (2) The Seller has the full corporate power and authority to sell each Mortgage Loan, and to execute,
deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and
this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except that
(a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. 
  
 (3) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under this Agreement, the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms thereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and will not (a) result in a material breach of any term
or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Seller or (b) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which
the Seller is a party or by which it may be bound, or (c) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over

administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Seller’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 (4) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, threatened against the Seller that would prohibit the execution or delivery of, or performance under, this Agreement by the Seller. 
  

	 	(b)	 	The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule B hereto to the Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the
Cut-off Date. 

  

	 	(c)	 	Upon discovery by either of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B hereto that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other party. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice
from the Purchaser of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B hereto which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material
respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the pool of mortgages listed on
Schedule B hereto and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser at the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Price in the manner set forth below. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Seller or the
Purchaser that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s
lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. 

  
 With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or to the
Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 3.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section
3.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. Upon such
substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution,
the 

  

 9 








 
representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule B hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this
Agreement of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available to the Purchaser on its behalf.

  
 The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by the Seller as to the future payments by any Mortgagor. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
 Miscellaneous

the Purchaser be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof in accordance with GAAP and for regulatory purposes. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of the Seller or the Purchaser, respectively, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas and (ii) the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans provided for in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loans, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. 
  
 The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term of the Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted hereby. 
  
 Section 5.2 Seller’s Consent to Assignment. The Seller hereby
acknowledges the Purchaser’s right to assign, transfer and convey all of the Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement to a third party and that the representations and warranties made by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement will, in the case of such assignment, transfer and conveyance, be for the benefit of such third party. The Seller hereby consents to such assignment, transfer and conveyance. 
  
 Section 5.3 Specific Performance. Either party or its assignees may enforce specific performance of this Agreement.

 [Available Upon Request From Trustee] 







 SCHEDULE B 
  
 Representations and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans 
  
 First Horizon Home Loan Corporation (the “Seller”) hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
this Schedule B on which First Horizon Asset Securities Inc. (the “Purchaser”) relies in accepting the Mortgage Loans. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement dated as of June 30, 2003 (the “MLPA”), between First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as seller, and the Purchaser and as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as of the Cut-off Date or date of origination of the
Mortgage Loans, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and any subsequent sale, transfer and assignment by the Purchaser to a third party. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
Schedule B shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the MLPA. 
  

	 	(1)	 	The information set forth on Schedule A to the MLPA, with respect to each Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.


  

	 	(2)	 	Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent current real property taxes and assessments and liens or
interests arising under or as a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a unit in a condominium project or Planned Unit
Development, any lien for common charges permitted by statute or homeowner association fees, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such
exceptions appearing of record being generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, 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 such Mortgage. 

  

	 	(3)	 	Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or security interest and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	 	(4)	 	As of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, there was no delinquent tax or assessment lien against the related Mortgaged Property. 

  

	 	(5)	 	There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such
Mortgage Note. 

  

 B-1 









	 	(6)	 	There are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of such
Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in item (11) below. 

  

	 	(7)	 	To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by water, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar casualty (excluding
