PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Company intends to sell mortgage asset-backed pass-through certificates (collectively, the

The terms and provisions of the Standard Terms are hereby incorporated by reference herein as though set
forth in full herein. If any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any
provision contained in the Standard Terms, the terms and provisions of this Series Supplement shall govern. All

consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will
be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole Class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law. The Class R-I

Certificates, of the product for each Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the Net WAC Cap Rate,
if applicable) for such Class applicable for distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date
and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for such Class after distributions and the allocation of

Underwriter: Residential Funding Securities LLC.
Section 1.02. DETERMINATION OF MTA.
MTA for any Interest Accrual Period will be determined as described below.
MTA shall be established by the Trustee for each Interest Accrual Period. MTA is a per annum rate equal
to the twelve-month moving average monthly yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of one year as published by the Federal Reserve Board in statistical Release No. H.15(519), or the
Release, determined by averaging the monthly yield for the most recent twelve months. The MTA used for each
Interest Accrual Period will be the most recent MTA figure available as of the related MTA Determination Date.
If MTA is no longer available, the new index for the MTA Certificates will be LIBOR and shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.03.
The establishment of MTA by the Trustee and the Master Servicer's subsequent calculation of the
Pass-Through Rates applicable to the Class A Certificates and Class M Certificates for the relevant Interest
Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each MTA Determination Date the Trustee shall supply the Master Servicer with the
results of its determination of MTA on such date.
Section 1.03. DETERMINATION OF LIBOR.
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR Certificates for any Interest
Accrual Period will be determined as of each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, or
if such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, LIBOR shall
be established by the Trustee and, as to any Interest Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United
States dollar deposits that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any other page as may replace that
page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks) as of 11:00
a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so
established by use of such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the
Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The "Reference
Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the
reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank
market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on
the LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts
approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates then outstanding.
The Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its
rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations
rounded up to the next multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as requested,
the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City, selected by
the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for
loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be
obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities
described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the
third consecutive Distribution Date, the Trustee, after consultation with the Master Servicer, shall select an
alternative comparable index (over which the Trustee has no control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar
lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Master Servicer on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and
the Master Servicer's subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for
the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Master Servicer with the
results of its determination of LIBOR on such date. Furthermore, the Trustee will supply to any
Certificateholder so requesting by telephone by calling (000) 000-0000 the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR
Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.

at least 35% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is
between 100.00% and 95.01%, (b) at least 30% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at

was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest

Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) or any other
provision that would allow a Mortgage Loan to be treated as a "qualified mortgage" notwithstanding its failure
to meet the requirements of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1),
(2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9);
(xiii) A policy of title insurance was effective as of the closing of each Mortgage Loan and is valid and binding
and remains in full force and effect, unless the Mortgaged Properties are located in the State of Iowa and an
attorney's certificate has been provided as described in the Program Guide;
(xiv) No Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan;
(xv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan originated under a "streamlined" Mortgage Loan program (through which no
new or updated appraisals of Mortgaged Properties are obtained in connection with the refinancing thereof),

however, that in the event of a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b)(xii), the
party discovering such breach shall give such notice within five days of discovery. Within 90 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Company shall either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set
forth in Section 2.02; provided that the Company shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing

the date such breach was discovered. Any such substitution shall be effected by the Company under the same terms
and conditions as provided in Section 2.04 for substitutions by Residential Funding. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Company to cure such breach or to so purchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as
to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(a) (See Section 3.07(a) of the Standard Terms)
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the
Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by
Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO
Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage
Loans, including Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any
REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related
expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or
4.07 (including amounts received from Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of
the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of
the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the
substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in

(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect
of any Additional Collateral;
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets; and
(ix) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in connection with any Prepayment Charges
on the Prepayment Charge Loans;
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood
and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not
part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on
or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees
may but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event any amount not
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial
Account may contain funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates
of other Series and may contain other funds respecting payments on Mortgage Loans belonging to the Master
Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds,
the Master Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that
have been identified by it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans. Further, the Master Servicer shall, not
less frequently than every two Business Days, remove from the Custodial Account any funds relating to Mortgage
Loans that are owned by the Master Servicer.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase
of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master
Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution
Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will
be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day
of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) (See Section 3.07(c) of the Standard Terms)
(d) (See Section 3.07(d) of the Standard Terms)
(e) Notwithstanding Section 3.07(a), The Master Servicer shall not waive (or permit a Subservicer
to waive) any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally, (ii) the
enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the
prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. In no event will the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment
Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the
Master Servicer is required to deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge at
the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial
Account. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Master Servicer in
respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust
Fund and not part of any REMIC.

Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it
represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm") for which it acts as
agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it
represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Master Servicer shall have

from the Certificate Account and credited to a separate escrow account for the benefit of such

Section 4.03. Statements to Certificateholders; Statements to the Rating Agencies; Exchange Act Reporting.
(See Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms.)
Section 4.04. Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Company; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
furnish a written statement to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Company (the information in such statement
to be made available to any Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available
Distribution Amount, (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the
Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of
Section 4.01(a) and (iii) the amount, if any, payable to the Trustee by a Derivative Counterparty. The
determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively
deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the same
without any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the
Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received
therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of
the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly
Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related
Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the
Mortgagor pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then
in effect, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were not received
as of the close of business as of the related Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; and provided, further, that the Monthly Payment for purposes of this Section
4.04 shall mean the minimum monthly payment due under the Mortgage Note, net of the Subservicing Fee, (ii)
withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion
of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form
of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for
Future Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or
before 11:00 A.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds
attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate
Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be
made on the following Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to use any Advance made by a
Subservicer as described in Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such
Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.04. The amount
of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date
shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation
shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period
of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from
recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.10.
The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of
the Master Servicer delivered to the Company and the Trustee.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Certificate Account Deposit Date
that it will be unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made
for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to advance
(such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying
the portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the
Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on such day the Trustee
shall have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly
deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the Advance as to which the Master Servicer
shall have given notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.04 into the Certificate
Account.
Section 4.05. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reduction,
Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the case
of a Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the
amount of the reduction in the interest portion of the Monthly Payment due in the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:
first, to the Excess Cash Flow as part of the Principal Distribution Amount as provided in Section
4.02(c), to the extent of the Excess Cash Flow for such Distribution Date,
second, in reduction of the Overcollateralization Amount, until such amount has been reduced to zero;
third, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
fourth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
fifth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
sixth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; and
seventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero.
(b) Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to any
Class of Class M Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such
Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, that
no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates below the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations of the interest portions of Realized
Losses (other than any interest rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) to any Class of
Class A Certificates or Class M Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by operation of the
definition of "Accrued Certificate Interest" for each Class for such Distribution Date. Allocations of the
interest portion of a Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in connection with a
Servicing Modification shall be made by operation of the priority of payment provisions of Section
4.02(c). All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be
allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) Realized Losses shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to the definition of
REMIC I Realized Losses.
(d) Realized Losses allocated to the Excess Cash Flow or the Overcollateralization Amount pursuant to
paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section, the definition of Accrued Certificate Interest and the
operation of Section 4.02(c) shall be deemed allocated to the Class SB Certificates. Realized Losses
allocated to the Class SB Certificates shall, to the extent such Realized Losses represent Realized Losses
on an interest portion, be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest SB-IO. Realized Losses allocated to the
Excess Cash Flow pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be deemed to reduce Accrued Certificate
Interest on REMIC II Regular Interest SB-IO. Realized Losses allocated to the Overcollateralization Amount
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be deemed first to reduce the principal balance of REMIC II
Regular Interest SB-PO until such principal balance shall have been reduced to zero and thereafter to
reduce accrued and unpaid interest on REMIC II Regular Interest SB-IO.
Section 4.06. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property. (See Section 4.06 of the
Standard Terms.)
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. (See Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms.)
Section 4.08. Surety Bond. (See Section 4.08 of the Standard Terms.)
Section 4.09. Limited Mortgage Loan Repurchase Right.
The Limited Repurchase Right Holder will have the option at any time to purchase any of the Mortgage
Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price, up to a maximum of five Mortgage Loans. In the event that this
option is exercised as to any five Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, this option will thereupon terminate. If at
any time the Limited Repurchase Right Holder makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the amount of
the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Limited Repurchase Right Holder provides to the Trustee a
certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the
Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the
Limited Repurchase Right Holder without recourse to the Limited Repurchase Right Holder which shall succeed to
all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative
thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Limited Repurchase Right
Holder will thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation
to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. Any tax on "prohibited transactions" (as defined
in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code) imposed on the REMIC resulting from the exercise of the optional repurchase in
this Section 4.09 shall in no event be payable by the Trustee.
Section 4.10. Derivative Contracts.
(a) The Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, enter
into Derivative Contracts, solely for the benefit of the Class SB Certificates. Any such Derivative
Contract shall constitute a fully prepaid agreement. The Master Servicer shall determine, in its sole
discretion, whether any Derivative Contract conforms to the requirements of clauses (b) and (c) of this
Section 4.10. Any acquisition of a Derivative Contract shall be accompanied by an appropriate amendment to
this Agreement, including an Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 11.01, and either (i) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the existence of the Derivative Contract will not adversely affect the
availability of the exemptive relief afforded under ERISA by U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (Aug. 22, 2002), to the
Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Class M Certificates, as of the date the Derivative Contract is
acquired by the Trustee; or (ii) the consent of each holder of a Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate
to the acquisition of such Derivative Contract, if such PTE is applicable to the Class A Certificates and
the Class M Certificates as of the Closing Date. All collections, proceeds and other amounts in respect of
the Derivative Contracts payable by the Derivative Counterparty shall be distributed to the Class SB
Certificates on the Distribution Date following receipt thereof by the Trustee. In no event shall such an
instrument constitute a part of the REMIC created hereunder. In addition, in the event any such instrument
is deposited, the Trust Fund shall be deemed to be divided into two separate and discrete sub-trusts. The
assets of one such sub-trust shall consist of all the assets of the Trust Fund other than such instrument
and the assets of the other sub-trust shall consist solely of such instrument.
(b) Any Derivative Contract that provides for any payment obligation on the part of the Trust Fund must (i)
be without recourse to the assets of the Trust Fund, (ii) contain a non-petition covenant provision from
the Derivative Counterparty, (iii) limit payment dates thereunder to Distribution Dates and (iv) contain a
provision limiting any cash payments due to the Derivative Counterparty on any day under such Derivative
Contract solely to funds available therefor in the Certificate Account to make payments to the Holders of
the Class SB Certificates on such Distribution Date.
(c) Each Derivative Contract must (i) provide for the direct payment of any amounts by the Derivative
Counterparty thereunder to the Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date, (ii) contain an assignment of all of the Trust Fund's rights (but none of its
obligations) under such Derivative Contract to the Trustee on behalf the Class SB Certificates and shall
include an express consent of the Derivative Counterparty to such assignment, (iii) provide that in the
event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Derivative Contract shall terminate upon the direction
of a majority Percentage Interest of the Class SB Certificates, and (iv) prohibit the Derivative
Counterparty from "setting-off" or "netting" other obligations of the Trust Fund and its Affiliates against
such Derivative Counterparty's payment obligations thereunder.

(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class SB Certificate shall be made
unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class SB Certificate, other than
the transfer of an interest in a Certificate that is held by a Transferor and to be held by a Transferee
as an interest in a Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, either (i)(A) the Trustee shall require a
written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer (except that, if
such transfer is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, the Company or the
Master Servicer shall provide such Opinion of Counsel at their own expense); provided that such Opinion
of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, (B) the Trustee shall
require the transferee to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the
Standard Terms (other than paragraph 6. thereto with respect to a transfer of a Class SB), and (C) the
Trustee shall require the Transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of
Exhibit I to the Standard Terms, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,
which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer;
provided, however, that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any transfer
of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the
request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status of such
transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or (ii) the prospective transferee of such a Certificate shall
be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit J to the Standard Terms (or such other form as the Company in its
sole discretion deems acceptable), which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Company or the Master Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own
account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is
aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A.
The Holder of any such Class SB Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. If any transfer of a Certificate
held by a Transferor and to be held by a Transferee as an interest in a Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate is
to be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Transferor shall be deemed to have made each of the
certifications set forth in Exhibit I to the Standard Terms as of the transfer date and the Transferee shall be
deemed to have made each of the certifications set forth in Exhibit J to the Standard Terms as of the transfer
date as if such Certificate were in physical form.
(e) (i) In the case of any Certificate presented for registration in the name of any
Person, either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee,
the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class Certificate is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), and will
not subject the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability
(including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to
those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer or (B) the prospective Transferee shall be required
to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with a certification to the effect
set forth in clause (a) of paragraph six of Exhibit H to the Standard Terms (with respect to
any Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate, provided, however, that such certification
shall be deemed to have been given by any Class A Certificateholder or Class M
Certificateholder who acquires a Book-Entry Certificate) or paragraph fifteen of Exhibit G-1 to
the Standard Terms (with respect to any Class SB Certificate or Class R Certificate), which the
Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications as
the Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such Transferee or the
Person in whose name such registration is requested is not an employee benefit plan or other
plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
any Person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan)
who is using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan
Investor"). In the case of any Class SB Certificate to be held by a Transferee as an interest
in a Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, the Transferee shall be deemed by virtue of its
purchase or holding of an interest in such Certificate to have made each of the certifications
set forth in Exhibit H to the Standard Terms or Exhibit G-1 to the Standard Terms (with respect
to any Class SB Certificate) as of the transfer date, in each case as if such Class SB
Certificate were in physical form.
(ii) [Reserved.]
(iii) (A) If any Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held by any Person
that does not satisfy the conditions described in paragraph (i) above, then the last preceding
Transferee that is not a Plan Investor shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such
Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Certificate (or
interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(e) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the
Underwriters and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or
expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

(h) (See Section 5.02(h) of the Standard Terms)
(i) (i)Provisions Regarding Rule 144A and Regulation S Transfers. (i) Class SB Certificates sold to
"qualified institutional buyers" as defined in and in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act shall be
represented by one or more Rule 144A Global Offered Certificates. Class SB Certificates sold in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be represented initially by Temporary
Regulation S Global Offered Certificates.
(ii) The Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be exchanged on the later of (a) 40 days
after the later of the Closing Date (b) the date on which the requisite certifications are due to and provided to
the Trustee (the later of clauses (a) and (b), the "Exchange Date") for Permanent Regulation S Global Offered
Certificates. Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be issued in registered form, without coupons, and
deposited upon the order of the Transferor with the Trustee as custodian for and registered in the name of a
nominee of the Depository for credit to the account of the depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream.
(iii) A Certificate Owner holding an interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate may
receive payments in respect of the Certificates on the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate only
after the delivery, to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in
the form set forth in Exhibit Four, and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the
Trustee and Certificate Registrar of a certification or certifications substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit Five (the "Clearing System Certificate"). The delivery by a Certificate Owner of the certification
referred to above shall constitute its irrevocable instruction to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be,
to arrange for the exchange of the Certificate Owner's interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate for a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate after the Exchange
Date in accordance with paragraph (iv) below.
(iv) After (i) the Exchange Date and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written instructions from
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be
credited to either Euroclear's or Clearstream's, as the case may be, Depository's account a beneficial interest
in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate in a principal amount not greater than that of the
beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
instruct the Depository to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate
and increase the principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, by the principal
amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so transferred,
and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of Euroclear, Clearstream or a Person who has an account
with the Depository as the case may be, a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate having a Certificate Principal Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Class SB that was reduced
upon the transfer. Upon return of the entire principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interests in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate, Trustee shall cancel the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by perforation and shall
forthwith destroy it.
(v) For transfer of an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate for an interest in
the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, if the Certificateholder of a beneficial interest in a Permanent
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate deposited with the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest
in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, or to transfer its interest in the Permanent Regulation
S Global Offered Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the
Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear
or Clearstream and the Depository, as the case may be, give directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange
or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in
the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of instructions from
Euroclear or Clearstream, from the Depository or from the Certificateholder, as the case may be, directing the
Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered
Certificate equal to the Percentage Interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be
exchanged or transferred (such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository Participant account
to be credited with the increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of an interest in the Permanent
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, information regarding the Depository Participant account to be debited
with the decrease), the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the Permanent Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Permanent
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and the Certificate Registrar shall
instruct the Depository, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A
Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the
Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Permanent Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate.
(vi) For transfers of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate for an interest in a Regulation
S Global Offered Certificate, if a Certificate Owner holding a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate for
an interest in a Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, or to transfer its interest in the 144A Book-Entry
Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, give
directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of
the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate. Upon receipt
by the Certificate Registrar of (A) instructions given in accordance with the Depository's procedures from a
Depository Participant or from the Certificateholder, as the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to be exchanged or transferred, (B)
a written order given in accordance with the Depository's procedures containing information regarding the account
of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Depository Participant, as the case may be, to be
credited with the increase and the name of the account and (C) certificates in the forms of Exhibits Six and
Seven, respectively, given by the Certificate Owner and the proposed transferee of the interest, the Certificate
Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or
transferred and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with the reduction, to
increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or
transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.02(i), the Underwriter may exchange beneficial
interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates held by it for interests in the Rule 144A
Global Offered Certificates only after delivery by the Underwriter of instructions for the exchange substantially
in the form of Exhibit Eight. Upon receipt of the instructions provided in the preceding sentence, the
Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate to be so transferred and shall instruct the Depository to increase the principal
amount of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate and credit or cause to be credited to the account of the
placement agent a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate having a principal amount equal
to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate was reduced
upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions provided in the first sentence of this clause (vii)

TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
SECTION 9.01. OPTIONAL PURCHASE BY THE MASTER SERVICER OF ALL CERTIFICATES; TERMINATION UPON
PURCHASE BY THE MASTER SERVICER OR LIQUIDATION OF ALL MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee
to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the
Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be
taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related
underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been
acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any unreimbursed
Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net
Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not
including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price
set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid
disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC. The
purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by Residential Funding
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability,
penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation, that remain
unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii)
above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been
reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15
and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Master
Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior
to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to
purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest
Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this
right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective
obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior notice of the
Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to
Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the
assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be
purchased (as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice
of any termination specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise
be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so
required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of
the outstanding Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their
Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee
(in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee
(in any other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates
is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee
therein designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master
Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the
outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
and in the case of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the
exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer or Trustee is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and,
if the Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such
notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise
by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit
in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to
the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by
the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in
an Eligible Account, established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the
Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered holders of the Certificates, before
the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the
Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below. The Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee written notification of any change to the anticipated Final Distribution
Date as soon as practicable. If the Trust Fund is not terminated on the anticipated Final Distribution Date, for
any reason, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

assignment by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of Residential Funding's right
(including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C) and (D) granted by Residential Funding to
the Company pursuant to the Assignment Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee, any Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee or any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes or such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, payment intangibles, negotiable documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters of credit,
advices of credit, investment property, certificated securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction as in effect (including, without limitation, Sections 8-106,
9-313, 9-314 and 9-106 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons
holding for (as applicable) the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
The Company and, at the Company's direction, Residential Funding and the Trustee shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were determined to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, any Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interests and the other property described above, such security interest would be determined to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the
Trustee not less than 15 days prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for filing, or shall cause
to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Company, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of
any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the
Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans and any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests, as
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Company, including without limitation (x) continuation statements,
and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of Residential Funding, the Company
or the Trustee (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee, if occasioned by a change in
the Trustee's name), (2) any change of type or jurisdiction of organization of Residential Funding or the
Company, (3) any transfer of any interest of Residential Funding or the Company in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any
transfer of any interest of Residential Funding or the Company in any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest.
(g) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the Initial Monthly Payment Fund. The
Master Servicer shall hold such Initial Monthly Payment Fund in the Custodial Account and shall include such
Initial Monthly Payment Fund in the Available Distribution Amount for the initial Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall not be an asset of any
REMIC. To the extent that the Initial Monthly Payment Fund constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax
purposes, (1) it shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of any REMIC, (2) it shall be owned by the
Seller and (3) amounts transferred by any REMIC to the Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall be treated as
transferred to the Seller or any successor, all within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury
Regulations.
(h) The Company agrees that the sale of each Pledged Asset Loan pursuant to this Agreement will also
constitute the assignment, sale, setting-over, transfer and conveyance to the Trustee, without recourse (but
subject to the Company's covenants, representations and warranties specifically provided herein), of all of the
Company's obligations and all of the Company's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing
or hereafter acquired as owner of the Mortgage Loan with respect to any and all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit accounts,
certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property and other property of whatever kind
or description consisting of, arising from or related to (i) the Assigned Contracts, (ii) all rights, powers and
remedies of the Company as owner of such Mortgage Loan under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts,
whether arising under the terms of such Assigned Contracts, by statute, at law or in equity, or otherwise arising
out of any default by the Mortgagor under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts, including all rights to
exercise any election or option or to make any decision or determination or to give or receive any notice,
consent, approval or waiver thereunder, (iii) the Pledged Amounts and all money, securities, security
entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit accounts,
certificates of deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property and other property of whatever kind
or description and all cash and non-cash proceeds of the sale, exchange, or redemption of, and all stock or
conversion rights, rights to subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock dividends, rights to
interest, dividends, earnings, income, rents, issues, profits, interest payments or other distributions of cash
or other property that secures a Pledged Asset Loan, (iv) all documents, books and records concerning the
foregoing (including all computer programs, tapes, disks and related items containing any such information) and
(v) all insurance proceeds (including proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company) of any of the foregoing or replacements thereof
or substitutions therefor, proceeds of proceeds and the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any thereof.
The foregoing transfer, sale, assignment and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the
creation, or an assumption by the Trustee, of any obligation of the Company, or any other person in connection
with the Pledged Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to the
Mortgagor, other than as owner of the Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement,
and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian
as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above (except that for purposes of such
acknowledgement only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in blank) and declares that it, or the Custodian as its
agent, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part of the Custodial Files
delivered to it, or a Custodian as its agent, and the rights of Residential Funding with respect to any Pledged
Assets, Additional Collateral and the Surety Bond assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust for
the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee or Custodian (the Custodian being
so obligated under a Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Custodial
File delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b) within 45 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all
required documents (specifically as set forth in Section 2.01(b)), have been executed and received, and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as supplemented, that have been
conveyed to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all
documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed and received and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions
listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. Upon delivery of the Custodial Files by the Company
or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a
Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the
respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(c)
above.
If the Custodian, as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Custodial File to be missing or defective, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer and the
Company. Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Master Servicer, the
Company and the Trustee of any such omission or defect found by it in respect of any Custodial File held by it in
respect of the items reviewed by it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If such omission or defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
Residential Funding of such omission or defect and request Residential Funding to correct or cure such omission
or defect within 60 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect and, if
Residential Funding does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, require Residential
Funding to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at its Purchase Price, within 90 days from the date
the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect; provided that if the omission or defect would cause
the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for
any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it
pursuant to Section 3.07 and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall release the
contents of any related Mortgage File in its possession to the owner of such Mortgage Loan (or such owners'
designee) and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the
Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Residential Funding or its
designee any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the
Trust Fund. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Residential Funding to so cure or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which a material and adverse defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Master Servicer and the Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Master Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws governing its creation and existence and is or will be in compliance with the laws of
each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the
enforceability of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance
with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Master Servicer's Certificate of Formation or
Limited Liability Company Agreement or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or
lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default) under, or result in the material breach of,
any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or which
may be applicable to the Master Servicer or any of its assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Company,
constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law;
(iv) The Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order,
regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations
of the Master Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would materially adversely
affect its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the
Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations
under this Agreement;
(vi) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under each Required Insurance Policy;
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report delivered to the
Company, any Affiliate of the Company or the Trustee by the Master Servicer will, to the knowledge of
the Master Servicer, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary
to make the information, certificate, statement or report not misleading;
(viii) The Master Servicer has examined each existing, and will examine each new, Subservicing Agreement and is
or will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of each existing Subservicing Agreement and each
designated Subservicer are acceptable to the Master Servicer and any new Subservicing Agreements will
comply with the provisions of Section 3.02; and
(ix) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with
the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are
registered with MERS.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall
survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.
Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of
any representation or warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 90
days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cure such
breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a
related document, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set
forth in Section 2.02; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within
90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The obligation of the Master Servicer to cure such breach or
to so purchase such Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy in respect of a breach of a representation and
warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
(b) Representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans are set forth in Section 2.03(b) of the
Series Supplement.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of Residential Funding.
The Company, as assignee of Residential Funding under the Assignment Agreement, hereby assigns to the
Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment
Agreement applicable to a Mortgage Loan. Insofar as the Assignment Agreement relates to the representations and
warranties made by Residential Funding in respect of such Mortgage Loan and any remedies provided thereunder for
any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the
Assignment Agreement (which, for purposes hereof, will be deemed to include any other cause giving rise to a
repurchase obligation under the Assignment Agreement) in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial
Agreement). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify Residential Funding of such breach and request that
Residential Funding either (i) cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the date the Master
Servicer was notified of such breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that Residential Funding shall have the option to
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs
within two years following the Closing Date; provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or
substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. If a breach of the Compliance
With Laws Representation has given rise to the obligation to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall request that Residential Funding pay to the
Trust Fund, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in the preceding sentence, an amount equal
to any liability, penalty or expense that was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust Fund,
and that directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Trust Fund thereafter, concurrently
with such payment. In the event that Residential Funding elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, Residential Funding shall deliver to the
Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable
form, if required pursuant to Section 2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to Residential Funding on the next succeeding Distribution
Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment
due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter Residential Funding shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the Schedule of
Discount Fractions, for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the
amended Schedule of Discount Fractions, to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the related Subservicing Agreement in
all respects, Residential Funding shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the related Assignment Agreement, and the Company and the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as
of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, in
Section 2.03 hereof and in Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated to
repurchase or substitute for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which a Repurchase Event (as defined in
the Assignment Agreement) has occurred pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more
Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal
portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to the
Certificateholders in the month of substitution). Residential Funding shall deposit the amount of such shortfall
into the Custodial Account on the day of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor. Residential Funding
shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) by an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or
on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of any REMIC to
fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Residential Funding to cure such breach or purchase,
or to substitute for, a Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing and to make any
additional payments required under the Assignment Agreement in connection with a breach of the Compliance With
Laws Representation shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders
or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer is Residential Funding, then the Trustee
shall also have the right to give the notification and require the purchase or substitution provided for in the
second preceding paragraph in the event of such a breach of a representation or warranty made by Residential
Funding in the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the purchase of or substitution for any such Mortgage
Loan by Residential Funding, the Trustee shall assign to Residential Funding all of the Trustee's right, title
and interest in respect of the Assignment Agreement applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates/Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in
REMIC I Certificates.
As provided in Section 2.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.06. Conveyance of Uncertificated REMIC I and REMIC II Regular Interests; Acceptance by the Trustee.
As provided in Section 2.06 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.07. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC II.
As provided in Section 2.07 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.08. Purposes and Powers of the Trust.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the following activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or
are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other activities as may be required in
connection with conservation of the Trust Fund and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 11.01, the trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the
foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement while any Certificate is
outstanding, and this Section 2.08 may not be amended, without the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing a
majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and administration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when
the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of consent to assumption or
modification in connection with a proposed conveyance, or of assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in
connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and all other comparable instruments, or with respect to the
modification or re-recording of a Mortgage for the purpose of correcting the Mortgage, the subordination of the
lien of the Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government agency or unit with powers of eminent
domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure, the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of any
property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the management, marketing and conveyance of
any property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the
Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register
any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R)System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and
all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses
incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 3.16(c), with no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes necessary
to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related
Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.07(a), the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder
(other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a
Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by the Master Servicer or
any Subservicer pursuant to such powers of attorney. In servicing and administering any Nonsubserviced Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, comply with the Program
Guide as if it were the originator of such Mortgage Loan and had retained the servicing rights and obligations in
respect thereof. In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals and brokerage services that are not
customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor in
accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trustee, obtain credit
information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes
and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent
permitted by Section 3.10(a)(ii).
(c) The Master Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in connection with the offering of
pass-through certificates evidencing interests in one or more of the Certificates providing for the payment by
the Master Servicer of amounts received by the Master Servicer as servicing compensation hereunder and required
to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter
be an obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers'
and Sellers' Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect Subservicing Agreements entered into by Residential Funding
and Subservicers prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and may enter into new Subservicing
Agreements with Subservicers, for the servicing and administration of all or some of the Mortgage Loans. Each
Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive and retain, as provided in the related Subservicing
Agreement and in Section 3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on such Mortgage
Loan after payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Master Servicer in respect of such Mortgage
Loan. For any Mortgage Loan that is a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive and retain an amount equal to the Subservicing Fee from payments of interest. Unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in
servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are generally required or
permitted by the Program Guide and are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the
Subservicer have agreed. A representative form of Subservicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit E. With
the approval of the Master Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party
servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or a different form of Subservicing Agreement, and
the form referred to or included in the Program Guide is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed
to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing
Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not
violate the provisions of either this Agreement or the Program Guide in a manner which would materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. The Program Guide and any other Subservicing Agreement
entered into between the Master Servicer and any Subservicer shall require the Subservicer to accurately and
fully report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely manner.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall use its best reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer
under the related Subservicing Agreement and of each Seller under the related Seller's Agreement insofar as the
Company's rights with respect to Seller's obligation has been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, to the extent
that the non-performance of any such Seller's obligation would have a material and adverse effect on a Mortgage
Loan, including, without limitation, the obligation to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective
documentation, as described in Section 2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as
described in Section 2.04. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Subservicing Agreements or Seller's Agreements, as appropriate, and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer would employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage
servicing activities. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any,
that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. For
purposes of clarification only, the parties agree that the foregoing is not intended to, and does not, limit the
ability of the Master Servicer to be reimbursed for expenses that are incurred in connection with the enforcement
of a Seller's obligations (insofar as the Company's rights with respect to such Seller's obligations have been
assigned to the Trustee hereunder) and are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(viii).
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of
this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master
Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or
enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related
Subservicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer, it will
not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces. If the Master
Servicer enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made
by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption
by the successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the
terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company and to the same extent and under
the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or Seller for
indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to
the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be
between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The foregoing provision shall not in
any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as
referred to in Section 2.02 hereof.
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.
(a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by reason of an
Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may have been entered into. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to
the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage
Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures
as it would employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage
servicing activities. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any
late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage
Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Program Guide;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or extension will not
impair the coverage of any related Primary Insurance Policy or materially adversely affect the lien of the
related Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not
enforce any prepayment charge to the extent that such enforcement would violate any applicable law. In the event
of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof
by reason of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected
thereby; provided, however, that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any
term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's determination such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that the Master
Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without
limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest
(unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments
to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), capitalize any
amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, further, that (1) no such
modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the rate at which the Subservicing Fee with
respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues plus the rate at which the premium paid to the Certificate Insurer, if any,
accrues and (2) the final maturity date for any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended beyond the Maturity Date. In
addition, any amounts owing on a Mortgage Loan added to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
must be fully amortized over the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, and such amounts may be added to the
outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan only once during the life of such Mortgage Loan. Also, the
addition of such amounts described in the preceding sentence shall be implemented in accordance with the Program
Guide and may be implemented only by Subservicers that have been approved by the Master Servicer for such
purpose. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, to the extent not
inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may permit the Mortgage Loan to be
reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining
Stated Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided,
that such re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for
federal income tax purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans
subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage
Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in
connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including
Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds
received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the
Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including
amounts received from Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment
Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance
With Laws Representation and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of
a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c), 3.08(b) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in accordance with Section
4.02(a);
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional
Collateral; and
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and
agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part
of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date) and, unless otherwise set forth in the series supplement, payments or collections in the
nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may but need not be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial
Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may contain funds that belong to one or
more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other Series and may contain other funds
respecting payments on mortgage loans belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on
behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master Servicer shall keep records that
accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being
attributable to the Mortgage Loans. Further, the Master Servicer shall, not less frequently than every two
Business Days, remove from the Custodial Account any funds relating to Mortgage Loans that are owned by the
Master Servicer.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase
of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master
Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution
Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will
be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day
of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the institution maintaining the Custodial
Account to invest the funds in the Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments
which shall mature not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date next following the date of such investment
(with the exception of the Amount Held for Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to their maturities. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to
time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments attributable to the investment of
amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Master Servicer out
of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of any change in the location of
the Custodial Account and the location of the Certificate Account prior to the use thereof.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to establish and
maintain one or more Subservicing Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account or, if such account is not an
Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the requirements of the Program Guide and be otherwise acceptable to
the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. The Subservicer will be required thereby to deposit into the
Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its
Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement.
If the Subservicing Account is not an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received such
monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not be required to deposit in the
Subservicing Account payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late charges or assumption
fees. On or before the date specified in the Program Guide, but in no event later than the Determination Date,
the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account with respect to each
Mortgage Loan serviced by such Subservicer that are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The
Subservicer will also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to advance on such scheduled date of
remittance amounts equal to any scheduled monthly installments of principal and interest less its Subservicing
Fees on any Mortgage Loans for which payment was not received by the Subservicer. This obligation to advance
with respect to each Mortgage Loan will continue up to and including the first of the month following the date on
which the related Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Trust Fund by deed in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. All such advances received by the Master Servicer shall be deposited promptly
by it in the Custodial Account.
(b) The Subservicer may also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage
Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on any Curtailment received by such Subservicer in respect of a
Mortgage Loan from the related Mortgagor during any month that is to be applied by the Subservicer to reduce the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the first day of such month, from the date of
application of such Curtailment to the first day of the following month.
(c) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall for any
Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause the Subservicers for Subserviced Mortgage Loans to, establish and
maintain one or more Servicing Accounts and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or
advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance
Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each Servicing Account
shall satisfy the requirements for a Subservicing Account and, to the extent permitted by the Program Guide or as
is otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer, may also function as a Subservicing Account. Withdrawals of
amounts related to the Mortgage Loans from the Servicing Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable
items, to reimburse the Master Servicer or Subservicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant
to Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance Policy) and 3.12(a) (with respect to hazard insurance),
to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account or to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 or in accordance with the Program Guide. As part
of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall, and the Subservicers will, pursuant to the Subservicing
Agreements, be required to pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in this account to the extent required by law.
(d) The Master Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the preceding subsection that are not
timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the Subservicers on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for
which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent
that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer
out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of Certificates legal for investment by
federally insured savings and loan associations, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicers to
provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners
thereof access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall permit such
representatives to photocopy any such documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge
reasonably approximating the cost of such photocopying to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the Custodial
Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.07 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for
the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section
4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances
or other expenses made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04 or
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such withdrawal right being limited to
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, REO Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds from the purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections of Monthly Payments for which any such
advance was made in the case of Subservicer Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B)
recoveries of amounts in respect of which such advances were made in the case of Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to the related Subservicer (if not previously retained by such Subservicer) out of each payment
received by the Master Servicer on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections
3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to that remaining portion of any such payment as to interest (but not in
excess of the Subservicing Fee, if not previously retained) which, when deducted, will result in the
remaining amount of such interest being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate
in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the amortization schedule of the
related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof at the beginning of the period respecting which
such interest was paid after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest or investment income earned on funds and other
property deposited in or credited to the Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw pursuant to
Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure Profits and any amounts paid by a
Mortgagor in connection with a Principal Prepayment in Full in respect of interest for any period during
the calendar month in which such Principal Prepayment in Full is to be distributed to the
Certificateholders;
(vi) to pay to itself, a Subservicer, a Seller, Residential Funding, the Company or any other appropriate
Person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof
that has been purchased or otherwise transferred pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all
amounts received thereon and not required to be distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on
which the related Stated Principal Balance or Purchase Price is determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances in the manner
and to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, and any Advance or Servicing Advance made in
connection with a modified Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section 3.07(a), to the extent the amount of the Advance
or Servicing Advance was added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan in a prior calendar
month, or any Advance reimbursable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it or the Company
pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise, or in connection with
enforcing, in accordance with this Agreement, any repurchase, substitution or indemnification obligation
of any Seller (other than an Affiliate of the Company) pursuant to the related Seller's Agreement;
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant to Section 3.14 in good faith in
connection with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b) in connection with
the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or disposition of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise
reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not required to be deposited therein
pursuant to Section 3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), the Master
Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the
purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any advance
made in respect of a Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance by
withdrawal from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans on any
Certificate Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such determination. Such right of reimbursement in
respect of a Nonrecoverable Advance relating to an Advance pursuant to Section 4.04 on any such Certificate
Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the portion of such Advance previously paid to
Certificateholders (and not theretofore reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer).
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take, any action which would result in
non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is available, the Master
Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy until the
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80% or less of the
Appraised Value in the case of such a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%,
provided that such Primary Insurance Policy was in place as of the Cut-off Date and the Company had knowledge of
such Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to cancel or permit the discontinuation of
any Primary Insurance Policy as to any Mortgage Loan, if the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan is
reduced below an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined in
any appraisal thereof after the Closing Date, or if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% as a result of
principal payments on the Mortgage Loan after the Closing Date. In the event that the Company gains knowledge
that as of the Closing Date, a Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% and is not
the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy (and was not included in any exception to the representation in Section
2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% then the Master
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance Policy to the extent that
such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable price. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any
such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer
canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it,
that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained
with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through
certificates having a rating equal to or better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned
to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the
Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer under any Primary
Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to
be taken such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted
to the Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Fire Insurance and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan)
fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is equal to the lesser of the principal balance owing on
such Mortgage Loan or 100 percent of the insurable value of the improvements; provided, however, that such
coverage may not be less than the minimum amount required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a
replacement cost basis. To the extent it may do so without breaching the related Subservicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall replace any Subservicer that does not cause such insurance, to the extent it is available,
to be maintained. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure,
or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), fire insurance with
extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such
costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of related late payments by the Mortgagor or out of
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.10. It is understood and agreed
that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property
acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. Whenever the improvements securing a
Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) are located at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan in a
federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance (to the extent
available) to be maintained in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the amount required to compensate for any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost
basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a), it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of
this Section 3.12(a) and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in
the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next
preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any such
policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities as administrator
and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect
throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy
covering the Master Servicer's officers and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Master Servicer
in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the
coverage that would be required by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, whichever is greater, with respect to the Master
Servicer if the Master Servicer were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a
comparable replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer, as the case may be, meeting the requirements, if
any, of the Program Guide and acceptable to the Company. Coverage of the Master Servicer under a policy or bond
obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.12(b) shall
satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.12(b).
Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer or Subservicer, to the
extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note
or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent
that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13(a) by reason of any
transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer is restricted by law from preventing; and
(ii) if the Master Servicer determines that it is reasonably likely that any Mortgagor will bring, or if any
Mortgagor does bring, legal action to declare invalid or otherwise avoid enforcement of a due-on-sale
clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall not be required to enforce
the due-on-sale clause or to contest such action.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in
Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to the
requirements of the sentence next following, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the
terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or
the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person; provided, however, none of such terms and requirements
shall either (i) both (A) constitute a "significant modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under the REMIC Provisions and (B) cause any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (subject to Section 10.01(f)), result in the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or (ii) constitute "contributions" after the start-up date
under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver such documents only if it reasonably
determines that (i) its execution and delivery thereof will not conflict with or violate any terms of this
Agreement or cause the unpaid balance and interest on the Mortgage Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in part,
(ii) any required consents of insurers under any Required Insurance Policies have been obtained and (iii)
subsequent to the closing of the transaction involving the assumption or transfer (A) the Mortgage Loan will
continue to be secured by a first mortgage lien pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, (B) such transaction will
not adversely affect the coverage under any Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully
amortize over the remaining term thereof, (D) no material term of the Mortgage Loan (including the interest rate
on the Mortgage Loan) will be altered nor will the term of the Mortgage Loan be changed and (E) if the
seller/transferor of the Mortgaged Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage Loan, such release
will not (based on the Master Servicer's or Subservicer's good faith determination) adversely affect the
collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of appropriate instructions from the Master Servicer in
accordance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such assumption or
substitution of liability as directed in writing by the Master Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by such documents, the Master Servicer shall cause the originals or true and correct copies of the
assumption agreement, the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to
be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any
fee collected by the Master Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an assumption or substitution
of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing
compensation.
(c) The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to approve a
request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement
thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property (or, with
respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Apartment) without any right of reimbursement or other
similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would
if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability
of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the Code as a result thereof and
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) that no tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day
would be imposed on any such REMIC as a result thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related
Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as
additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Trustee and Master Servicer
shall be entitled to approve an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided
the obligee with respect to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed assignment provides the Trustee and Master
Servicer with a "Lender Certification for Assignment of Mortgage Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Master Servicer, providing the following: (i) that the
substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a refinancing of such Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage
Loan following the proposed assignment will have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or above the rate
of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at the
request of the borrower under the related Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid
principal balance of and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan and the Master Servicer shall treat such amount
as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO
Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default
and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.07. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may take other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan,
which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total
amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permitting
a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in
order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property),
(ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a modification in accordance with Section 3.07. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11,
follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as shall be required or permitted by the Program Guide; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in connection
with any such foreclosure or other conversion in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer, however, shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur other
reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or
towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of Certificates of one or more Classes
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting which it shall
have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not
such expenses and charges are actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO
Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts pursuant to Section 3.10.
In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to realize upon
any Additional Collateral for such of the Additional Collateral Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07;
provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Additional
Collateral as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that (i) the
Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would impair the
ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any
REO Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional Collateral
against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such Additional Collateral
(other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with procedures that
the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions
of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement, guarantee
agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional Collateral)
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other payment
received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Additional Collateral shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
For so long as the Master Servicer is the Master Servicer under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall perform its obligations under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement in accordance with such
Agreement and in a manner that is in the best interests of the Certificateholders. Further, the Master Servicer
shall use its best reasonable efforts to realize upon any Pledged Assets for such of the Pledged Asset Loans as
come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the
Trustee, obtain title to any such Pledged Assets as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or
otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Pledged
Assets in any manner that would impair the ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii)
the Master Servicer shall proceed with any REO Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the
proceeds of such Pledged Assets against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized
from such Pledged Assets (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in
accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account,
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of
any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of the
proceeds of such Pledged Assets) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.10. Any other payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Pledged Assets shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Concurrently with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may pursue any remedies that may be available in
connection with a breach of a representation and warranty with respect to any such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with Sections 2.03 and 2.04. However, the Master Servicer is not required to continue to pursue both foreclosure
(or similar remedies) with respect to the Mortgage Loans and remedies in connection with a breach of a
representation and warranty if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable discretion that one such remedy
is more likely to result in a greater recovery as to the Mortgage Loan. Upon the occurrence of a Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition, following the deposit in the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and other payments and recoveries referred to in the definition of "Cash Liquidation" or
"REO Disposition," as applicable, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the Master Servicer the
related Custodial File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer or its designee, as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall
not be part of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the
Master Servicer's sole discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to either of the
following provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed to have occurred if substantially
all amounts expected by the Master Servicer to be received in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan
or REO Property have been received, and (ii) for purposes of determining the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled collections or the amount of any Realized Loss, the
Master Servicer may take into account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be received or any
estimated additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the related defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as an REO Property by foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on
behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related
Mortgage Loan, such REO Property shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an
Outstanding Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the REO Property shall be sold. Consistent
with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long as such REO Property shall be considered to
be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the
related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in
effect at the time of any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous Curtailments and before
any adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or
grace period) remain in effect.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or
imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund shall dispose of such REO
Property as soon as practicable, giving due consideration to the interests of the Certificateholders, but in all
cases within three full years after the taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such shorter period as may be necessary under applicable state (including any state in
which such property is located) law to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting from such property failing to be
foreclosure property under applicable state law) or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request, more than 60 days
before the day on which such grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of such grace period unless the
Master Servicer (subject to Section 10.01(f)) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent
to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F
of the Code or cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for federal (or
any applicable State or local) income tax purposes) at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which
case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion
of Counsel). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs
incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be
rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would
(i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned
from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Master
Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or repurchase of any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as well as any recovery resulting from a collection of Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to the
Certificateholders to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, and any related REO Imputed
Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) to
the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; third, to the
Certificateholders as a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or REO Property); fourth, to all Subservicing
Fees payable therefrom (and the Subservicer shall have no claims for any deficiencies with respect to such fees
which result from the foregoing allocation); and fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligors is not a United States
Person, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together,
"foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax
obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of
such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the receipt by the Master
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (if it holds the related Custodial File) or the Custodian by
a certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.07 have been or will be so deposited), substantially in one of the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in a form acceptable to the
Custodian, requesting delivery to it of the Custodial File. Within two Business Days of receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Custodial
File to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver to the Mortgagor the
request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage, together with the Mortgage Note with, as appropriate, written evidence of
cancellation thereon and to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS(R)System of such Mortgage and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, with a copy to the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer
substantially in one of the forms attached as Exhibit F hereto, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic
request in a form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting that possession of all, or any document constituting
part of, the Custodial File be released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release
and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under
any Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver, or cause the Custodian
to deliver, the Custodial File or any document therein to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause
each Custodial File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Trustee, or the Custodian as agent
for the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has
been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial
Account or (ii) the Custodial File or such document has been delivered directly or through a Subservicer to an
attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or
pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Subservicer to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Custodial
File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall deliver the Request for Release with respect thereto to the
Master Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.
(c) The Trustee or the Master Servicer on the Trustee's behalf shall execute and deliver to the Master
Servicer, if necessary, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity. Together with such documents or pleadings (if signed by the Trustee), the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by
the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any insurance coverage under any Required Insurance Policy or
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon
completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.16. Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date the amounts provided for by clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 3.10(a), subject to
clause (e) below. The amount of servicing compensation provided for in such clauses shall be accounted for on a
Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In the event that Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO
Proceeds (net of amounts reimbursable therefrom pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii)) in respect of a Cash Liquidation
or REO Disposition exceed the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus unpaid interest accrued thereon
(including REO Imputed Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain therefrom
and to pay to itself and/or the related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and any Subservicing Fee considered
to be accrued but unpaid.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, assumption fees, late payment
charges, investment income on amounts in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or otherwise shall be
retained by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer to the extent provided herein, subject to clause (e) below.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid, all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for the Primary Insurance
Policies, if any, to the extent such premiums are not required to be paid by the related Mortgagors, and the fees
and expenses of the Trustee and any co-trustee (as provided in Section 8.05) and the fees and expense of the
Custodian) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.10
and 3.14.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of servicing compensation that the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive for its activities hereunder for the period ending on each Distribution
Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to Compensating Interest (if any) for such
Distribution Date. Such reduction shall be applied during such period to any income or gain realized from any
investment of funds held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account to which the Master Servicer is
entitled pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) or 4.01(b), respectively. In making such reduction, the Master Servicer
will not withdraw from the Custodial Account or Certificate Account any such amount to which it is entitled
pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 4.01(b).
Section 3.17. Reports to the Trustee and the Company.
Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written request from the Trustee or the Company, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Company a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer,
setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the immediately preceding
Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits in or withdrawals from the Custodial Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans for each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.07 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance and Servicing Assessment.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Company and the Trustee on or before the earlier of (a) March 31
of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form 10-K is
required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the
date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, (i) a servicing assessment as described in Section 4.03(f)(ii) and (ii)
a servicer compliance statement, signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, as described in Items
1122(a), 1122(b) and 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect that:
(A) A review of the Master Servicer's activities during the reporting period and of its performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision.
(B) To the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout the reporting period
or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all other parties
participating in the servicing function any additional certifications required under Item 1122 and Item 1123 of
Regulation AB to the extent required to be included in a Report on Form 10-K; provided, however, that a failure
to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder if any such party
fails to deliver such a certification.
Section 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during
which the Company's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be
filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants, which shall be members of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to the Company and the Trustee the attestation required
under Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to
the direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted by
independent public accountants substantially in accordance with standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (rendered within one year of such statement) with respect to such Subservicers.
Section 3.20. Rights of the Company in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Company, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours
access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and
access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer
shall furnish the Company with its most recent financial statements and such other information as the Master
Servicer possesses regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise. The Master
Servicer shall also cooperate with all reasonable requests for information including, but not limited to,
notices, tapes and copies of files, regarding itself, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates from any Person or
Persons identified by the Company or Residential Funding. The Company may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer
hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Company or its designee. The Company shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.21. Administration of Buydown Funds
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has deposited Buydown Funds in an account
that satisfies the requirements for a Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall
cause the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date
for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount
that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit
that amount in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the
related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during the period (the
"Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer
shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown
Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in
accordance with the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully
prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan
during the Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof
(either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall
be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in
the Buydown Account and remit the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing
Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under
any related Primary Insurance Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer
pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding
sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.22. Advance Facility
(a) The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such
arrangement, an "Advance Facility") under which (1) the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another
Person (an "Advancing Person") the Master Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or
Servicing Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Master Servicer
may enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an
Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Master Servicer's behalf, the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to
and as required by this Agreement. If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an
Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances
("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and/or Servicing Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances ("Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts" and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, "Reimbursement Amounts") (in each case to
the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to
this Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the
reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) and remit such Reimbursement Amounts in
accordance with this Section 3.22 or otherwise in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance
Facility to such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an "Advance Facility Trustee") designated
by such Advancing Person in an Advance Facility Notice described below in Section 3.22(b). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Master Servicer may direct, and if
so directed in writing the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Trustee the
Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding sentence. An Advancing Person whose obligations
hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or 6.02(c) hereof and shall not
be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event
shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in the Available
Distribution Amount or distributed to Certificateholders.
(b) If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the election set forth in Section
3.22(a), the Master Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with
written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance
Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable Reimbursement
Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to an Advance Facility Trustee designated in the Advance
Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Master
Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee). The Master Servicer shall
provide the Certificate Insurer, if any, with notice of any termination of any Advance Facility pursuant to this
Section 3.22(b).
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Master Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in
accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) hereof, assuming the Master Servicer or the Advancing Person had
made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in Section 3.10(c) of this Agreement, no Person shall be
entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders
pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any duty or liability with respect to
the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the Company or the Trustee have any responsibility to
track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or have any responsibility to track, monitor or
verify the payment of Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The
Master Servicer shall maintain and provide to any Successor Master Servicer a detailed accounting on a
loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing
Person. The Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the Master
Servicer and the Successor Master Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) Upon the direction of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute such
acknowledgments, certificates and other documents reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee provided by the Master
Servicer recognizing the interests of any Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement
Amounts as the Master Servicer may cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.22.
(e) Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding
unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a
"first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis, subject to the qualifications set forth below:
(i) Any successor Master Servicer to Residential Funding (a "Successor Master Servicer")
and the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be required to apply all amounts available in
accordance with this Section 3.22(e) to the reimbursement of Advances and Servicing Advances in the
manner provided for herein; provided, however, that after the succession of a Successor Master Servicer,
(A) to the extent that any Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan
are reimbursed from payments or recoveries, if any, from the related Mortgagor, and Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, if any, with respect to that Mortgage Loan, reimbursement shall be made, first,
to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
related to that Mortgage Loan to the extent of the interest of the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee in such Advances and/or Servicing Advances, second to the Master Servicer in respect of Advances
and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan in excess of those in which the Advancing Person
or Advance Facility Trustee Person has an interest, and third, to the Successor Master Servicer in
respect of any other Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan, from such sources
as and when collected, and (B) reimbursements of Advances and Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable
Advances shall be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand,
and any such Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, on the basis of the respective aggregate
outstanding unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances owed to the
Advancing Person, Advance Facility Trustee or Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, on the one
hand, and any such Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, and without regard to the date on which
any such Advances or Servicing Advances shall have been made. In the event that, as a result of the
FIFO allocation made pursuant to this Section 3.22(e), some or all of a Reimbursement Amount paid to the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee relates to Advances or Servicing Advances that were made by
a Person other than Residential Funding or the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, then the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be required to remit any portion of such
Reimbursement Amount to the Person entitled to such portion of such Reimbursement Amount. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Residential Funding shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by
the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by
Residential Funding to the extent the related Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged
to an Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The documentation establishing any Advance Facility
shall require Residential Funding to provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee
loan by loan information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed to such Advancing Person
or Advance Facility Trustee on each date of remittance thereof to such Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation
of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
(ii) By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
the Master Servicer resigns or is terminated at a time when the Master Servicer is a party to an Advance
Facility, and is replaced by a Successor Master Servicer, and the Successor Master Servicer directly
funds Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and does not assign or pledge the
related Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, then all
payments and recoveries received from the related Mortgagor or received in the form of Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan (including Insurance Proceeds collected in connection with a
liquidation of such Mortgage Loan) will be allocated first to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee until the related Reimbursement Amounts attributable to such Mortgage Loan that are owed to the
Master Servicer and the Advancing Person, which were made prior to any Advances or Servicing Advances
made by the Successor Master Servicer, have been reimbursed in full, at which point the Successor Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain all related Reimbursement Amounts subsequently collected with
respect to that Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement. To the extent that the
Advances or Servicing Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis
pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata
to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer,
on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been
sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be
necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Master Servicer, may be entered into by the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
with written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in the reduction of the
ratings on any class of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such
Certificates, and an opinion of counsel as required by Section 11.01(c), notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Company, any Successor Master
Servicer or any other Person might otherwise have against the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall not
attach to any rights to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances that have been sold, transferred,
pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding Advances and/or Servicing
Advances (as the case may be) and the Advancing Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall have received
Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the
case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Advancing Person, then upon the delivery
of a written notice signed by the Advancing Person and the Master Servicer or its successor or assign) to the
Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice (the "Notice of Facility Termination"), the Master Servicer or
its Successor Master Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Reimbursement Amounts
from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
(j) After delivery of any Advance Facility Notice, and until any such Advance Facility Notice has
been terminated by a Notice of Facility Termination, this Section 3.22 may not be amended or otherwise modified
without the prior written consent of the related Advancing Person.

benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of
any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the
Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement. The Trustee or
its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic

provided that such procedures are no less convenient for the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall provide prior
notification to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders regarding any such modification. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to any manager of a trust fund consisting of some or all of the
Certificates, upon reasonable request, such additional information as is reasonably obtainable by the Master
Servicer at no additional expense to the Master Servicer. Also, at the request of a Rating Agency, the Master
Servicer shall provide the information relating to the Reportable Modified Mortgage Loans substantially in the

that the Master Servicer shall not be required to provide such information more than four times in a calendar

(b) Within a reasonable period of time after it receives a written request from a Holder of a Certificate,
other than a Class R Certificate, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall forward,
or cause to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of a
Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (v)

substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the
Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, as soon as reasonably
practicable, shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information as is necessary and

(e) The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Company and in respect of the Trust Fund, sign and cause to
be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Exchange Act,
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder including, without limitation, reports on Form 10-K,

those matters that have been submitted to a vote of the Certificateholders at the request of the Company or the

as required pursuant to the Series Supplement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any
liability with respect to the Master Servicer's failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting
from the Master Servicer's own negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Any Form 10-K filed with the Commission in connection with this Section 4.03 shall include, with respect
to the Certificates relating to such 10-K:
(i) A certification, signed by the senior officer in charge of the servicing functions of the Master
Servicer, in the form attached as Exhibit O hereto or such other form as may be required or permitted by

Certificateholders.
(i) The Trustee shall make available on the Trustee's internet website each of the reports filed with the
Commission by or on behalf of the Company under the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable upon delivery
of such reports to the Trustee.
Section 4.04. Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Company; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish a written
statement to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Company (the information in such statement to be made
available to any Certificate Insurer and Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i)
the Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and
deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to
clause (iii) of Section 4.01(a). The determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence
of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee shall be
protected in relying upon the same without any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall
either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the
Subservicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related
Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with
each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related Servicing
Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then in
effect, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were not received as
of the close of business as of the related Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the
Certificate Account all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such Advance,
or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance.
Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by
deposit in the Certificate Account on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account
Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial
Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to use any Advance made by a Subservicer as described in Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in
the Custodial Account on or before such Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of
outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent
for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which
have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of
reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.10.
The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of
the Master Servicer delivered to the Company and the Trustee.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Certificate Account Deposit Date
that it will be unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made
for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to advance
(such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying
the portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the
Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on such day the Trustee
shall have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly
deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the Advance as to which the Master Servicer
shall have given notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.04 into the Certificate
Account.
Section 4.05. Allocation of Realized Losses.
As provided in Section 4.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 4.06. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property.
The Master Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of
mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged
Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any
Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed.
Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more, the Master Servicer
may, at its option, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price therefor; provided, that
such Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days or more delinquent during any given Calendar Quarter shall only be
eligible for purchase pursuant to this Section during the period beginning on the first Business Day of the
following Calendar Quarter, and ending at the close of business on the second-to-last Business Day of such
following Calendar Quarter; and provided, further, that such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more delinquent at the
time of repurchase. Such option if not exercised shall not thereafter be reinstated as to any Mortgage Loan,
unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes delinquent in payment by 90 days
or more in a subsequent Calendar Quarter.
(b) If at any time the Master Servicer makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the amount of the
Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan as provided in clause (a) above, and the Master Servicer provides to the
Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited
in the Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of
the Master Servicer, without recourse, to the Master Servicer, which shall succeed to all the Trustee's right,
title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Master Servicer will thereupon own such
Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
If, however, the Master Servicer shall have exercised its right to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Section 4.07 upon the written request of and with funds provided by the Junior Certificateholder and
thereupon transferred such Mortgage Loan to the Junior Certificateholder, the Master Servicer shall so notify the
Trustee in writing.
Section 4.08. Surety Bond.
(a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant to the Surety Bond with respect to any Additional
Collateral Loan, the Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and the
Trustee shall promptly complete the notice in the form of Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond and shall promptly
submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for a Required Surety. The Master Servicer shall upon request assist
the Trustee in completing such notice and shall provide any information requested by the Trustee in connection
therewith.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf of the Holders of Certificates, the
Trustee shall deposit such Required Surety Payment in the Certificate Account and shall distribute such Required
Surety Payment, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a Certificate any Required Surety
Payment from the Surety and (ii) disburse the same to the Holders of such Certificates as set forth in Section
4.02.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Senior, Class X, Class M, Class B, Class P, Class SB and Class R Certificates shall be substantially
in the forms set forth in Exhibits A, A-I, B, C, C-I, C-II and D, respectively, or such other form or forms as
shall be set forth in the Series Supplement, and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the
Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for authentication and delivery to or upon the order of the Company upon
receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be
issuable in the minimum denominations designated in the Preliminary Statement to the Series Supplement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of an authorized officer
of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement,
or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. The Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates shall hold their respective Ownership
Interests in and to each of such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as
provided below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing
such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes (including the making of payments
due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates for
the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with
respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such
Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class
of Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the
Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a qualified
successor or (ii) the Company notifies the Depository and the Trustee of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding
beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to such termination through the Depository, the Trustee
shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee
of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository
for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates.
In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely
affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner's
Percentage Interest in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such a request, such Certificate
Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related
Depository Participant with directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange of the
Certificate Owner's interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Percentage Interest in fully
registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of instructions from the Depository
directing the Certificate Registrar to effect such exchange (such instructions shall contain information
regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being exchanged, the Depository
Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered holder of and delivery instructions for the
Definitive Certificate, and any other information reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar), (i) the
Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant's account by the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate, (ii) the Trustee shall execute and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery
instructions provided by the Depository, a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner's Percentage
Interest in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance
of such Class of Certificates by the Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate.
None of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the
Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of any instructions required
under Section 5.01 and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon
the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(c) If the Class A-V Certificates are Definitive Certificates, from time to time Residential Funding, as the
initial Holder of the Class A-V Certificates, may exchange such Holder's Class A-V Certificates for Subclasses of
Class A-V Certificates to be issued under this Agreement by delivering a "Request for Exchange" substantially in
the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit N executed by an authorized officer, which Subclasses, in the
aggregate, will represent the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests Z corresponding to the Class A-V
Certificates so surrendered for exchange. Any Subclass so issued shall bear a numerical designation commencing
with Class A-V-1 and continuing sequentially thereafter, and will evidence ownership of the Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interest or Interests specified in writing by such initial Holder to the Trustee. The Trustee may
conclusively, without any independent verification, rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, Residential
Funding's determinations of the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests Z corresponding to any Subclass, the
Initial Notional Amount and the initial Pass-Through Rate on a Subclass as set forth in such Request for Exchange
and the Trustee shall have no duty to determine if any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest Z designated on a
Request for Exchange corresponds to a Subclass which has previously been issued. Each Subclass so issued shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the
Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 5.01(a). Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for exchange by the initial Holder shall (if so required by the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer attached to
such Certificate and shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by, the initial Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Certificates of any
Subclass of Class A-V Certificates may be transferred in whole, but not in part, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.02.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for
the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The
Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee, shall provide the Master Servicer with a certified list of
Certificateholders as of each Record Date prior to the related Determination Date.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 and, in the case of any Class M, Class B, Class P or Class R
Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of
authorized denominations of a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates
of such Class which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B Certificate, Class P Certificate or
privately offered Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class B
Certificate, Class P Certificate or privately offered Class R Certificate is to be made either (i)(A) the Trustee
shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer (except that, if such transfer
is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, the Company or the Master Servicer shall
provide such Opinion of Counsel at their own expense); provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be required
in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and the Trustee shall require the
transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, each acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee
the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Company or the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters will not be required in
connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which,
upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status of such
transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or (ii) the prospective transferee of such a Certificate shall be
required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with an investment letter substantially in
the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or such other form as the Company in its sole discretion deems
acceptable), which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer,
and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional
buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional
buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the
exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The
Holder of any such Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar
against any liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is
not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(e) (i) In the case of any Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate presented for registration in the
name of any Person, either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class B, Class P
or Class R Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in
any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable
provisions of any subsequent enactments), and will not subject the Trustee, the Company or the
Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer
or (B) the prospective Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the
Master Servicer with a certification to the effect set forth in paragraph six of Exhibit H
(with respect to any Class B Certificate or Class P Certificate) or paragraph fifteen of
Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class R Certificate), which the Trustee may rely upon without
further inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications as the Trustee may deem
desirable or necessary in order to establish that such Transferee or the Person in whose name
such registration is requested either (a) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is using
"plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan Investor") or (b) in
the case of any Class B Certificate, the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such
Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such
Certificate (or interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that
satisfies this clause (b), a "Complying Insurance Company").
(ii) Any Transferee of a Class M Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue
of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such
Transferee is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in
reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE
2007-05, 72 Fed. Reg. 13130 (March 20, 2007) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it understands that
there are certain conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent)
by Standard & Poor's, Fitch, Moody's, DBRS Limited, or DBRS, Inc. or (c) such Transferee is a
Complying Insurance Company.
(iii) (A) If any Class M Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held by any
Person that does not satisfy the conditions described in paragraph (ii) above, then the last
preceding Transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in
compliance with the RFC Exemption, or (iii) is a Complying Insurance Company shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate Owner thereof
retroactive to the date of such Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such
preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Class M
Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(e) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any
Subservicer, the Underwriters and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed
by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted
Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of,
(I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-1) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and
warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or
agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02(f) and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and warranting, among other things, that no
purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B)
above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the
proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a
certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership
Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall have received the
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by
the Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United
States Persons and Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are
prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then
the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights
and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class
R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then the
last preceding United States Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(f) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 5.02(f) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of
the Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Master Servicer shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior
holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Master
Servicer on such terms as the Master Servicer may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse
and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Master Servicer. Such
purchaser may be the Master Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer. The proceeds of such
sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Master Servicer or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be liable to any Person having
an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon written request from the
Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to
the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section
1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record
holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for
providing such information may be required by the Master Servicer from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause (v) may be modified, added to or
eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if
any, of any Class of the Senior (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series
Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined
in the Series Supplement)), Class M or Class B Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or
the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer stating that the Master
Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, to
the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of
any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a
Certificateholder or another Person to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class
R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to the extent provided in the
definition of "Certificateholder," and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any
Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as provided
in Section 5.02(f).
Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.02. In the event of any such appointment, on or prior to each Distribution Date the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient
to make the payments to the Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02,
such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the
payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such
sums shall be distributed to such Certificateholders. Any sums so held by such Paying Agent shall be held only
in Eligible Accounts to the extent such sums are not distributed to the Certificateholders on the date of receipt
by such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06. U.S.A. Patriot Act Compliance.
In order for it to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee may obtain and
verify certain information from the other parties hereto, including but not limited to such parties' name,
address and other identifying information.
ARTICLE VI
THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Company and the Master Servicer.
The Company and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of
the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer
herein. By way of illustration and not limitation, the Company is not liable for the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any
obligations of the Master Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any
other obligation hereunder that it may, but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such
obligation in accordance herewith.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Master Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation
of Duties by Master Servicer.
(a) The Company and the Master Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation and as a limited liability company under the
laws of the state of its organization, respectively, and shall each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation or other Person in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage
Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company or
the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything in
this Section 6.02(b) to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person
to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; and
provided further that the Master Servicer (or the Company, as applicable) shall notify each Rating Agency and the
Trustee in writing of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least 30 days prior to the effective date
of such event.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to the contrary, the Master Servicer
may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person
accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf
of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service
the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Company and the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due
and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency's rating of the Classes of Certificates
(in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such determination shall be made
without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)) that have been rated in
effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a
result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency). In
the case of any such assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be released from its obligations under
this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred
by it as Master Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation
set forth in the next preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a pledge or assignment
by the Master Servicer solely of its rights to purchase all assets of the Trust Fund under Section 9.01(a) (or,
if so specified in Section 9.01(a), its rights to purchase the Mortgage Loans and property acquired related to
such Mortgage Loans or its rights to purchase the Certificates related thereto), the provisos of the first
sentence of this paragraph will not apply.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Company or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or
any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master
Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal or administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its
respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action,
proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the
Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement, the
aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each
Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such expenses and costs constituted a Prepayment Interest
Shortfall.
Section 6.04. Company and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall resign from
its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company
or the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall
have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02.
ARTICLE VII

its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or
relating to, the Master Servicer or of, or relating to, all or substantially all of the property of the
Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(b) that it is unable to deposit in
the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and
every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Company or the Trustee
may, and at the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee
if given by the Company), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to
the Master Servicer and the Company, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as
a Certificateholder hereunder as provided in Section 4.04(b). On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of
such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall subject to Section
7.02 pass to and be vested in the Trustee or the Trustee's designee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to
the Trustee or its designee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to
the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
No such termination shall release the Master Servicer for any liability that it would otherwise have hereunder
for any act or omission prior to the effective time of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Residential Funding in its capacity as Master
Servicer hereunder, Residential Funding shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Monthly
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating Residential Funding's rights and
obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion to which Residential
Funding would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(ii), (iv), (vi) and (vii) and Section 4.01(b), and
any other amounts payable to Residential Funding hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder. Upon the termination of Residential Funding as Master Servicer
hereunder the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Program Guide.
Section 7.02. Trustee or Company to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or
resigns in accordance with Section 6.04, the Trustee or, upon notice to the Company and with the Company's
consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) a designee (which meets the standards set forth below) of the
Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer (except for the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities contained in Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a), excluding the duty to notify related Subservicers or
Sellers as set forth in such Sections, and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses incurred prior
to such notice or termination on the investment of funds in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account
pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) and 4.01(b) by the terms and provisions hereof); provided, however, that any failure
to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the preceding Master Servicer's failure to provide
information required by Section 4.04 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder and, in addition, shall be entitled to the income from any Permitted Investments made
with amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account. If the
Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.01, then
notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so
act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net
worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall become successor to the Master Servicer and shall
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
initial Master Servicer hereunder. The Company, the Trustee, the Custodian and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master
Servicer shall pay the reasonable expenses of the Trustee in connection with any servicing transition hereunder.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the
successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall
represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are
registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master
Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents
and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of
such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System to the successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall
file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master
Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs
of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (b). The successor Master
Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the
original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such
assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by a default or Event of Default
hereunder may waive such default or Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default
under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of
Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver of a default or Event
of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights affected by such default or
Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events
of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such investor's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this
Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of any such documents which do not materially conform
to the requirements of this Agreement in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive
satisfactorily corrected documents.
The Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely fashion the notices, reports and
statements required to be forwarded by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee
shall furnish in a timely fashion to the Master Servicer such information as the Master Servicer may reasonably
request from time to time for the Master Servicer to fulfill its duties as set forth in this Agreement. The
Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the
status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited
transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding
such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its duties
under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of
Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee by the Company or the Master Servicer and which on their face, do not contradict the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Certificateholders of any Class holding
Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other than a default in payment to the
Trustee) specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (iii),
(iv) and (v) of Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master Servicer, the Company or
any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds (including, without limitation, the making of any Advance) or otherwise
incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder, or
in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and all federal, state and local
taxes imposed on the Trust Fund or its assets or transactions including, without limitation, (A) "prohibited
transaction" penalty taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, if, when and as the same shall be due and
payable, (B) any tax on contributions to a REMIC after the Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code
and (C) any tax on "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, but only if
such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder, which breach constitutes negligence
or willful misconduct of the Trustee.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any related Custodial Agreement, in no
event shall the Trustee have any liability in respect of any actions or omissions of the Custodian herein or
pursuant to any related Custodial Agreement.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing
contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of
Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do
by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests, aggregating
not less than 50%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in
the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability
as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the
Master Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the
Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a
Class R Certificate hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact
for purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee
shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and deliver to the Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax
Returns prepared by or on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is required to sign as
determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws, provided that
the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax Returns that contain errors or
omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not accept any contribution of assets to
the Trust Fund unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such contribution will not (i) cause any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the
Trust Fund to be subject to any federal tax as a result of such contribution (including the imposition of any
federal tax on "prohibited transactions" imposed under Section 860F(a) of the Code).
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution of the Certificates and
relating to the acceptance and receipt of the Mortgage Loans) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or
the Master Servicer as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates
(except that the Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by it as Certificate
Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the MERS(R)System. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the Master
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to the Company or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account by the Company or the Master Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any co-trustee from time to time, and
the Trustee and any co-trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by
each of them in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and any co-trustee, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the
Trustee and any co-trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its
employ, and the expenses incurred by the Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with the appointment of an
office or agency pursuant to Section 8.12) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee's part, arising out
of, or in connection with, the acceptance and administration of the Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and the
Master Servicer further agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the provisions set forth in the second paragraph of
Section 2.01(c) hereof, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending
or threatened, relating to the provisions of this paragraph, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer written notice thereof
promptly after the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the
Master Servicer in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for
settlement of any claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Master Servicer
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations created by this Section 8.05(b) of the Master
Servicer to indemnify the Trustee under the conditions and to the extent set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the Master Servicer in this Section
8.05(b) shall not be available (A) for any loss, liability or expense of the Trustee, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim, incurred in connection with any actions taken by the Trustee at
the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (B) where the Trustee is
required to indemnify the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 12.05(a).
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association having its
principal office in a state and city acceptable to the Company and organized and doing business under the laws of
such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and the short-term rating of such institution shall be A-1 in the case of Standard & Poor's if Standard
& Poor's is a Rating Agency. If such corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed
and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property
or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Company may remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. In addition, in the event that the
Company determines that the Trustee has failed (i) to distribute or cause to be distributed to the
Certificateholders any amount required to be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held by the Trustee or its
Paying Agent (other than the Master Servicer or the Company) for distribution or (ii) to otherwise observe or
perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and such failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of 5 days (in respect of clause (i) above) or 30 days (in respect of clause (ii)
above other than any failure to comply with the provisions of Article XII, in which case no notice or grace
period shall be applicable) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring that the same be
remedied, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, then the Company may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument delivered as provided in the preceding sentence. In connection
with the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall, on or before
the date on which any such appointment becomes effective, obtain from each Rating Agency written confirmation
that the appointment of any such successor trustee will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class
of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to
the Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if
originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Custodial
Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Custodial Files at the time held
by a Custodian, which shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Company, the Master
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall
mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense
of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking
association succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall mail notice of any such merger or consolidation to the
Certificateholders at their address as shown in the Certificate Register.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust
Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as
the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s)
or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the Trustee, and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of
the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
Section 9.01. Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination Upon Purchase by the
Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee
to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the
Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be
taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related
underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been
acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any unreimbursed
Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net
Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not
including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price
set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid
disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC. The
purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by Residential Funding
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability,
penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation, that remain
unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii)
above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been
reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15
and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Master
Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior
to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to
purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest
Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this
right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective
obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date
on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders (whether
as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or
otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of
the exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice of any termination
specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution
Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the
terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding
Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase
the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case)
by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the
assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) and
mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to
be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master
Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates,
the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case
of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by
the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice
to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer
is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating
Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer
of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate
Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price
for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer
of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account,
established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate Account in the name
of the Trustee in trust for the registered holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which
such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the
Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee will
withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the Class M and Class B Certificates, upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof in connection with the exercise by the Master
Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee
shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if
not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the
outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or
the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the
outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest
Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth
in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for
distribution (including the repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the
total amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding
hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on
or before the Final Distribution Date (if so required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause
all funds in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn
therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account,
which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it
exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice any
Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as
directed by the Master Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders
shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master
Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such
amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on
any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure
to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the Distribution Date on
which a purchase of the outstanding Certificates is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in
the Certificate Account deposited therein by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to be withdrawn
therefrom and deposited in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to such Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second
notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps
as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders
shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation in accordance with this Section 9.01,
the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Master
Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result
of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section
9.01. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this
Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will be deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will
have no rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus any costs and expenses
associated with such escrow account and notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to
have been purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until the Master Servicer has
terminated the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant
to this Article IX. The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each REMIC that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion
of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the failure of
each such REMIC to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the
Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any
such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC and specify the
first day of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to
Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Master Servicer also shall satisfy all of the requirements
of a qualified liquidation for a REMIC under Section 860F of the Code and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and,
at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or
otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof;
and
(iii) If the Master Servicer or the Company is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund,
the Master Servicer shall, during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the Final
Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the Master
Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC at the expense of the
Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.03. Termination of Multiple REMICs.
If the REMIC Administrator makes two or more separate REMIC elections, the applicable REMIC shall be
terminated on the earlier of the Final Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last
deemed distributions on the related Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the last distribution due on the
Certificates is made.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as one or more REMICs under the
Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. The assets of each such REMIC will be set forth in the
Series Supplement. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information
return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the
calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of each REMIC election in respect of the
Trust Fund, Certificates and interests to be designated as the "regular interests" and the sole class of
"residual interests" in the REMIC will be set forth in Section 10.03 of the Series Supplement. The REMIC
Administrator and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code) in any REMIC elected in respect of the Trust Fund other than the "regular interests" and
"residual interests" so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the Trust Fund within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest each
Class of the Class R Certificates and shall be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, as tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority
with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and
costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the
REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans
on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred
by reason of the REMIC Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. If the REMIC
Administrator is no longer the Master Servicer hereunder, at its option the REMIC Administrator may continue its
duties as REMIC Administrator and shall be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000 per year by any
successor Master Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of the Tax Returns that it determines
are required with respect to each REMIC created hereunder and deliver such Tax Returns in a timely manner to the
Trustee and the Trustee shall sign and file such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The expenses of preparing such
returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC
Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax or liability arising from
the Trustee's signing of Tax Returns that contain errors or omissions. The Trustee and Master Servicer shall
promptly provide the REMIC Administrator with such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to time
request for the purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as
is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who
is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward to the Certificateholders, such
information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to
the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each REMIC.
(f) The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause each REMIC
created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably within the Master Servicer's or the REMIC
Administrator's control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary or
desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Trustee shall
assist the Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the Master Servicer
and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall not knowingly or
intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be
taken) any action reasonably within their respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC (including but not limited to
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or
the indemnification referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Master Servicer or the
REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to
take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator,
as applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Master Servicer, the
REMIC Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as
applicable, determine in its or their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition of such
a tax, result in the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken
because the timing of such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may only be taken
pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may
nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with respect to any taxes that
might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other preconditions to the taking of such action
have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder)
as to which the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such
action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or any related
assets thereof, or causing any such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, or
its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any such REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause any such REMIC to take any
such action as to which the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing
that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, may
consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to
take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Master Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer will to the extent
within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of
the assets of each REMIC created hereunder as "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from foreclosure property" of any such REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or
local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Master Servicer has in its
sole discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, (ii) to the Trustee, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, or (iii) otherwise
against amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and on the Distribution Date(s)
following such reimbursement the aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued
Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such taxes constituted a Prepayment
Interest Shortfall.
(h) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be
required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of
assets to any REMIC created hereunder unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Master Servicer and the Trustee
shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or
other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section 10.01(f)) enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit
any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible
maturity date" by which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates (other than the Interest
Only Certificates) representing a regular interest in the applicable REMIC and the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest (other than each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest
represented by a Class A-V Certificate, if any) and the rights to the Interest Only Certificates and
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by a Class A-V Certificate would be reduced to zero is the
Maturity Date for each such Certificate and Interest.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal
Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers
of Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each REMIC created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage
Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including
but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii)
the bankruptcy of any REMIC created hereunder, (iii) the termination of any such REMIC pursuant to Article IX of
this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement) nor acquire
any assets for any such REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account for gain nor accept any contributions to any such REMIC after the Closing Date unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the
status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Master Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 10.02. Master Servicer, REMIC Administrator and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator and the Master
Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in Article VIII or this Article X.
(b) The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the REMIC
Administrator's covenants set forth in this Article X with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the
REMIC Administrator that contain errors or omissions; provided, however, that such liability will not be imposed
to the extent such breach is a result of an error or omission in information provided to the REMIC Administrator
by the Master Servicer in which case Section 10.02(c) will apply.
(c) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator and the
Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the
Master Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X or in Article III with respect to compliance with the
REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns
prepared by the Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to cure any ambiguity,
(ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein, which may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein or therein or to correct any error,
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or desirable

or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,

Account Deposit Date shall in no event be later than the related Distribution Date, (B) such change
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Certificateholder and (C) such change shall not result in a reduction of the rating assigned to
any Class of Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such
Certificates as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series
Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as
defined in the Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(f) or any other provision hereof
restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates, by virtue of their being the "residual interests" in a
REMIC, provided that (A) such change shall not result in reduction of the rating assigned to any such
Class of Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such
Certificates as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series
Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as
defined in the Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect, and
(B) such change shall not (subject to Section 10.01(f)), as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking so to modify, eliminate or add such provisions), cause any REMIC created
hereunder or any of the Certificateholders (other than the transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a transfer to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or such
Custodial Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement,
provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or
(vii) to amend any provision herein or therein that is not material to any of the
Certificateholders.
(b) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Company, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not
less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates with a Certificate Principal Balance
greater than zero affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
of such Class then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment
to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 10.01(f) and at
the expense of the party seeking such amendment) to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power
granted to the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee in accordance with such amendment is permitted
hereunder and will not result in the imposition of a federal tax on the Trust Fund or cause any REMIC created
under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to the Custodian and each Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the
consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to obtain and deliver to the Trustee any
corporate guaranty, payment obligation, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar
instrument or a reserve fund, or any combination of the foregoing, for the purpose of protecting the Holders of
the Class B Certificates against any or all Realized Losses or other shortfalls. Any such instrument or fund
shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Class B Certificateholders, but shall not be and shall not be
deemed to be under any circumstances included in the Trust Fund. To the extent that any such instrument or fund
constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (i) any reserve fund so established shall be an
outside reserve fund and not an asset of the Trust Fund, (ii) any such reserve fund shall be owned by the
Company, and (iii) amounts transferred by the Trust Fund to any such reserve fund shall be treated as amounts
distributed by the Trust Fund to the Company or any successor, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(h) as it reads as of the Cut-off Date. In connection with the provision of any such instrument
or fund, this Agreement and any provision hereof may be modified, added to, deleted or otherwise amended in any
manner that is related or incidental to such instrument or fund or the establishment or administration thereof,
such amendment to be made by written instrument executed or consented to by the Company but without the consent
of any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee being required unless any
such amendment would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the interests of the
Senior Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable;
provided that the Company obtains (subject to Section 10.01(f)) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an
opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that any such amendment will not cause (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions"
under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the
Code and (b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding. In the event that the Company elects to provide such coverage in the form of a limited guaranty
provided by GMAC LLC, the Company may elect that the text of such amendment to this Agreement shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (in which case Residential Funding's Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation as described in such exhibit shall be established by Residential Funding's consent to
such amendment) and that the limited guaranty shall be executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with
such changes as the Company shall deem to be appropriate; it being understood that the Trustee has reviewed and
approved the content of such forms and that the Trustee's consent or approval to the use thereof is not required.
Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or
all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the
Trustee (pursuant to the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights), but
only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
(b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other
purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts
shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the
Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take
any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of any of the parties hereto.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided herein) or in any manner
otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute
the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this
Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not
less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests of such Class, shall have made written request upon the Trustee
to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding it being understood
and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the
Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other
of such Certificates of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and
for the common benefit of Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may be. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.03, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 11.04. Governing Law.
This agreement and the Certificates shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

Section 11.07. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable

Holders thereof.
Section 11.08. Supplemental Provisions for Resecuritization.
This Agreement may be supplemented by means of the addition of a separate Article hereto (a
"Supplemental Article") for the purpose of resecuritizing any of the Certificates issued hereunder, under the
following circumstances. With respect to any Class or Classes of Certificates issued hereunder, or any portion
of any such Class, as to which the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any designee thereof) is the registered
Holder (the "Resecuritized Certificates"), the Company may deposit such Resecuritized Certificates into a new
REMIC, grantor trust or custodial arrangement (a "Restructuring Vehicle") to be held by the Trustee pursuant to a
Supplemental Article. The instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed by the Company, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee; provided, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall withhold their
consent thereto if their respective interests would not be materially adversely affected thereby. To the extent
that the terms of the Supplemental Article do not in any way affect any provisions of this Agreement as to any of
the Certificates initially issued hereunder, the adoption of the Supplemental Article shall not constitute an
"amendment" of this Agreement.
Each Supplemental Article shall set forth all necessary provisions relating to the holding of the
Resecuritized Certificates by the Trustee, the establishment of the Restructuring Vehicle, the issuing of various
classes of new certificates by the Restructuring Vehicle and the distributions to be made thereon, and any other
provisions necessary for the purposes thereof. In connection with each Supplemental Article, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Restructuring Vehicle will qualify as a
REMIC, grantor trust or other entity not subject to taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the
adoption of the Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC as
set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).
Section 11.09. Allocation of Voting Rights.

ARTICLE XII
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB
Section 12.01. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this
Article XII is to facilitate compliance by the Company with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. The Company shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or
other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements
of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its
staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise,
and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Company in good faith for delivery of information under
these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. Each of the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall cooperate reasonably with the Company to deliver to the Company (including any of its assignees or
designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information
necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Company to permit the Company to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB.
Section 12.02. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company as of the Closing
Date and on each date on which information is provided to the Company under Sections 12.01, 12.02(b) or 12.03
that, except as disclosed in writing to the Company prior to such date: (i) it is not aware and has not received
notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other
Securitization Transaction due to any default of the Trustee; (ii) there are no aspects of its financial condition
that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its trustee obligations under this
Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the trustee; (iii) there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it that would be material to
Certificateholders; (iv) there are no relationships or transactions (as described in Item 1119(b) of Regulation
AB) relating to the Trustee with respect to the Company or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee,
originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (as each of
such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement,
as identified by the Company to the Trustee in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a "Transaction Party") that
are outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length
transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the Securitization Transaction, and that are material to
the investors' understanding of the Certificates; and (v) the Trustee is not an affiliate (as contemplated by
Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB) of any Transaction Party. The Company shall notify the Trustee of any change in
the identity of a Transaction Party after the Closing Date.
(b) If so requested by the Company on any date following the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations
and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not
accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide the pertinent facts, in writing, to the Company. Any such
request from the Company shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Company shall have a
reasonable basis for questioning the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties.
Section 12.03. Information to Be Provided by the Trustee.
For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Company's
reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Trustee shall provide
to the Company a written description of (a) any litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the
Trustee as of the last day of each calendar month that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) any
affiliations or relationships (as described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB) that develop following the Closing
Date between the Trustee and any Transaction Party of the type described in Section 12.02(a)(iv) or 12.02(a)(v) as
of the last day of each calendar year. Any descriptions required with respect to legal proceedings, as well as
updates to previously provided descriptions, under this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than five Business
Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the relevant event occurs, and any notices and
descriptions required with respect to affiliations, as well as updates to previously provided descriptions, under
this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than January 31 of the calendar year following the year in which the
relevant event occurs. As of the related Distribution Date with respect to each Report on Form 10-D with respect
to the Certificates filed by or on behalf of the Company, and as of March 15 preceding the date each Report on
Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates is filed, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that
any information previously provided by the Trustee under this Article XII is materially correct and does not have
any material omissions unless the Trustee has provided an update to such information. The Company will allow the
Trustee to review any disclosure relating to material litigation against the Trustee prior to filing such
disclosure with the Commission to the extent the Company changes the information provided by the Trustee.
Section 12.04. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
On or before March 5 of each calendar year, the Trustee shall:
(a) deliver to the Company a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) regarding
the Trustee's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding
calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.
Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, and shall address each of the Servicing
Criteria specified on Exhibit R hereto; and
(b) deliver to the Company a report of a registered public accounting firm satisfying the requirements of
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that attests to, and reports on, the
assessment of compliance made by the Trustee and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation
shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act.
Section 12.05. Indemnification; Remedies.
(a) The Trustee shall indemnify the Company, each affiliate of the Company, the Master Servicer and each
affiliate of the Master Servicer, and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents
of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained
in any information, report, certification, accountants' attestation or other material provided under this Article
XII by or on behalf of the Trustee (collectively, the "Trustee Information"), or (B) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Trustee Information a material fact required to be stated in the Trustee Information or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; or
(ii) any failure by the Trustee to deliver any information, report, certification
or other material when and as required under this Article XII, other than a failure by the Trustee to deliver an
accountants' attestation.
(b) In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 12.05(a), as well as a
failure to deliver an accountants' attestation, the Trustee shall (i) promptly reimburse the Company for all
costs reasonably incurred by the Company in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants'
attestation or other material not delivered by the Trustee as required and (ii) cooperate with the Company to
mitigate any damages that may result from such failure.
(c) The Company and the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, each affiliate of the Trustee and the
respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Trustee, and shall hold each of
them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or
based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information
provided under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Company or Master Servicer for inclusion in any report filed
with Commission under the Exchange Act (collectively, the "RFC Information"), or (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the RFC Information a material fact required to be stated in the RFC Information or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 12.05 to the contrary, the parties agree that none of the
Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer shall be liable to the other for any consequential or punitive
damages whatsoever, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), or any other legal or
equitable principle; provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable with respect to third party
claims made against a party.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that _______________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced
by this Certificate [(obtained by dividing the [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest
Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the aggregate [Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all
Class A-_______ Certificates] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amounts of all [Interest Only/Class A-V]
Certificates], both as specified above)] in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting
primarily of an interest in a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans]
(the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company,"
which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Master Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Certificate and the amount [(of interest and principal, if any)] required to be distributed to Holders of
Class A- Certificates on such Distribution Date. [The [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount of the
[Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates as of any date of determination is equal to the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans corresponding to the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests represented by such
[Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates.] [The Subclass Notional Amount of the [Interest Only/Class A-V]-

Certificate Principal Balance.]
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial
[Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount] [initial Subclass Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth
above.] [The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to
principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that _________________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial Notional Amount of this Certificate by the
Aggregate Notional Amount of all Class X Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with
respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of [one- to four-family residential,
payment-option, adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature] (the "Mortgage

includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer
and ________________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the

business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such

Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Class X Certificates on such Distribution
Date. The Class X Certificates have no Certificate Principal Balance.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and

Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate

Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the Class M-____
Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional
one- to four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] formed and sold by RESIDENTIAL
ACCREDIT LOANS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,

Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that ________________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced
by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Class M-____ Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed interest
rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust
Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the
Company, the Master Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of
Class M- Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this
Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the
distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
Any transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase
or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) that either (a) such transferee is not an investment manager,
a named fiduciary or a trustee of any plan, or any other person, acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any plan (a "plan investor"), (b) it has acquired and is holding
such Certificate in reliance on prohibited transaction exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE
2002-41, 67 fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it understands that there are
certain conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the
time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch or Xxxxx'x or (c) (i) the
transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificate is an
"insurance company general account" (within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (c), a "complying insurance company).
If this Certificate (or any interest herein) is acquired or held by any person that does not
satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph, then the last preceding transferee that either (i)
is not a plan investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption, or (iii) is a
complying insurance company shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Certificate owner thereof retroactive to the date of such transfer of this Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any person for making any payments due on this Certificate to such preceding transferee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event
Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other
cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from
the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans,
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase
are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar,
by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for
any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the Class B-_____ Certificates
with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to
four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] formed and sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT
LOANS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of this
Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Class B- ____ Certificates, both as specified
above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one-
to four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately preceding such last day) of the month next preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record
Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to
Holders of Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this
Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the
distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
No transfer of this Class B Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee
or the Company may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor)
from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of
any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form
described by the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of the
Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such Federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also require either (i) an
opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code") and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class B Certificate will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either
stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager,
a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an insurance company, the source of
funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (within the meaning
of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and the purchase is being made in
reliance upon the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event
Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other
cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from
the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans,
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase
are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar,
by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for
any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and _____________, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing
as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record
Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to
Holders of Class SB-[ ] Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Notional Amount of this Class SB-[ ] Certificate as of any
date of determination will be calculated as described in the Agreement. This Class SB-[ ] Certificate will
accrue interest at the Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount as indicated in the definition of Accrued
Certificate Interest in the Agreement. This Class SB-[ ] Certificate will not accrue interest on its Certificate
Principal Balance.
No transfer of this Class SB-[ ] Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee or
the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in
the form described by the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on
behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such Federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made to any Plan subject to Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "plan assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA ("Plan Asset
Regulations"), unless the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel
which establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the purchase of this Certificate is permissible under
applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code)
in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated
as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the
Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would
have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans,
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer (i) to purchase, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) to purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof, provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Stated
Principal Balance before giving effect to the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date of the Mortgage
Loans, as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten
percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

LOANS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that _____________________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate
by the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class R Certificates, both as specified above) in
certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to
four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"),
from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of
Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions
set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an
affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or
purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be
absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a
United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation
of such restrictions, then the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the
Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company, which purchaser may
be the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, on such terms and conditions as the Company may choose.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this
Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of
distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto. Notwithstanding the reduction of
the Certificate Principal Balance hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain outstanding under the Agreement
and the Holder hereof may have additional obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax
liabilities, and may be entitled to certain additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Agreement.
[[FOR PRIVATELY OFFERED CLASS R CERTIFICATES ONLY] No transfer of this Class SB-[ ]
Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In
the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee or the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer is
exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state
and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form described by the Agreement. The Holder
hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such Federal and state laws.]
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the Trustee has received either (i)
an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code") and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class R Certificate will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is
not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of
any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any
Plan.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event
Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other

rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and

writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from
the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans,
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master

property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase
are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse

COUNTY OF )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or beneficial owner of the Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates, Series ____-___, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings institution] [corporation] duly
organized and existing under the laws of [the State of _______________________] [the United States], on behalf of
which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified organization" or an electing large partnership
as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Sections 860E(e)(5) and 775, respectively, of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or an electing large partnership under Section 775(a) of the Code, (ii)
will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest
in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the
account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as
this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means an electing large
partnership under Section 775 of the Code, the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any
agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which
are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization
or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone
cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class R Certificates to
disqualified organizations or electing large partnerships, under the Code, that applies to all transfers of Class
R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor (or, with respect to transfers
to electing large partnerships, on each such partnership), or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person
includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person
(other than with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships) otherwise liable for the tax shall be
relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is
not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be "noneconomic residual interests" within the
meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding Class R Certificates if
either the pass-through entity is an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code or if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a
real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is either (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or
other entity treated as a corporation or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (other than a
partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), (iii) an
estate that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(D) of the Code, or (iv) a trust that is described in Section
7701(a)(30)(E) of the Code.
6. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not cause income from the Class R Certificates to be attributable
to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the
Owner or another United States taxpayer.
7. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificates
unless the transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things,
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit
and agreement are false.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the
provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were
issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the Trustee to deliver
payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner
holds such Certificates in violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary
upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only
be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified organization.
10. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ________________________.
11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R Certificates held by the Owner and not to any
other holder of the Class R Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class R Certificates by the Owner is
or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax; in making this representation, the Owner warrants
that the Owner is familiar with (i) Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and recent amendments thereto,
effective as of July 19, 2002, and (ii) the preamble describing the adoption of the amendments to such
regulation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
13. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States
taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby
represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate that the Owner
intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificate as they become due, fully understanding
that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
15. The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the
Code, or an investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan, or any other Person acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations relating to safe
harbor transfers of noneconomic residual interests in real estate
mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). The final regulations provide
additional limitations on the circumstances under which transferors may
claim safe harbor treatment.
DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective July 19, 2002.
Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see Sec. 1.860E-
(1)(c)(10).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000
(not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act
The collection of information in this final rule has been reviewed
and, pending receipt and evaluation of public comments, approved by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned
control number 1545-1675.
The collection of information in this regulation is in Sec. 1.860E-
1(c)(5)(ii). This information is required to enable the IRS to verify
that a taxpayer is complying with the conditions of this regulation.
The collection of information is mandatory and is required. Otherwise,
the taxpayer will not receive the benefit of safe harbor treatment as
provided in the regulation. The likely respondents are businesses and
other for-profit institutions.
Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the
Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department
of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX, 00000, with copies to the Internal Revenue Service,
Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer, W:CAR:MP:FP:S, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX
00000. Comments on the collection of information should be received by
September 17, 2002. Comments are specifically requested concerning:
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection
of information (see below);
How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected may be enhanced;
How the burden of complying with the collection of information may
be minimized, including through the application of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service to provide information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid
control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.
The estimated total annual reporting burden is 470 hours, based on
an estimated number of respondents of 470 and an estimated average
annual burden hours per respondent of one hour.
Books or records relating to a collection of information must be
retained as long as their contents may become material in the
administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and
tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed
amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a
transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the
investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the
safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.
Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules
governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In
general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded
for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to
[[Page 47452]]
enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A
purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful
purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either
knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or
unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income.
Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual
interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements
are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation
of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation
requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the
transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax
obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to
pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of
noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even
in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the
transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with
holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed
rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe
harbor by adding the "formula test," an economic test. The proposed
regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The
present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire
the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the
REMIC generates losses.
The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs.
Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements
for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by
reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.
In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3
I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers
could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the
proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a
transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation
requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the
transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-
prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first
prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the
two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets
exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee
generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic,
taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest
to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that
also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot
rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know,
that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit
the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be
satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic
residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible
transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a
corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an
applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as
foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax
liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset
by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or
collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the
congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in
all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the
Code.
The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers
transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have
attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment
in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on
excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide
that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer
is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test
or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to
represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual
interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or
fixed base.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer
may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to
pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section
11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of
taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration
taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the
comments received, this provision has been amended in the final
regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable
income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative
minimum tax rate applicable to corporations.
Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present
values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate
equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc.
2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that "present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable
Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually"
and that "[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can
demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or
business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third
party." The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based
on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use
unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test,
frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury
Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other
than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary
complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed
regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if
the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial
funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and
the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable
Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers' computations, the final
regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates,
provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding
period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to
transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the
proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may
choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed
regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August
19, 2002.
It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with
respect to
[[Page 47453]]
FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in
substantially its present form, with the result that the final
regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of
FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability
date as is contained in this document.
Effect on Other Documents
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of
noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August
19, 2002.
Special Analyses
It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a
substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual
interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has
been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that
sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations.

delinquencies which were subsequently determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from Residential
Funding of an amount equal to the amount of any Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to Section
4.02(a), to the extent such Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances have not been included in the amount of the
Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and shall distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in
the same manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to
each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any
Realized Losses (other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and

respect of any Distribution Date shall in no event be greater than the sum of (i) the additional amount of
Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been paid for the Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution
Date had such Realized Loss or Losses not occurred plus (ii) the amount of the reduction in the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date due to such Realized Loss or Losses.
Notwithstanding such payment, such Realized Losses shall be deemed to have been borne by the Certificateholders
for purposes of Section 4.05. Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and
Extraordinary Losses allocated to the Class B Certificates will not be covered by the Subordinate Certificate
Loss Obligation.
(c) Demands for payments pursuant to this Section shall be made prior to the later of the
third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date by the Master Servicer with
written notice thereof to the Trustee. The maximum amount that Residential Funding shall be required to pay
pursuant to this Section on any Distribution Date (the "Amount Available") shall be equal to the lesser of (X)

the Limited Guaranty shall be deposited directly in the Certificate Account, for distribution on the Distribution
Date for such month to the Class B Certificateholders.
(f) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to substitute for either or
both of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation another instrument in the form of a
corporate guaranty, an irrevocable letter of credit, a surety bond, insurance policy or similar instrument or a
reserve fund; provided that (i) the Company obtains (subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the
Company was substituted for the Master Servicer solely for the purposes of such provision) an Opinion of Counsel
(which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that obtaining such substitute corporate
guaranty, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar instrument or reserve fund will
not cause either (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal
tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860(F)(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the
startup date" under Section 860(G)(d)(1) of the Code or (b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificate is outstanding, and (ii) no such substitution shall be made unless (A) the substitute
Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation is for an initial amount not less than the then
current Amount Available and contains provisions that are in all material respects equivalent to the original
Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation (including that no portion of the fees,
reimbursements or other obligations under any such instrument will be borne by the Trust Fund), (B) the long term
debt obligations of any obligor of any substitute Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation (if
not supported by the Limited Guaranty) shall be rated at least the lesser of (a) the rating of the long term debt
obligations of GMAC LLC as of the date of issuance of the Limited Guaranty and (b) the rating of the long term
debt obligations of GMAC LLC at the date of such substitution and (C) the Company obtains written confirmation
from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that rated the Class B Certificates at the request of the
Company that such substitution shall not lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a) the
then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency and (b) the original rating
assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency. Any replacement of the Limited Guaranty or
Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written Opinion of
Counsel to the substitute guarantor or obligor, addressed to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, that such
substitute instrument constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the substitute guarantor or obligor,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, and concerning such other matters as the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall reasonably request. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to
substitute for or replace the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation under any circumstance.
Section 13.02. Amendments Relating to the Limited Guaranty. Notwithstanding Sections 11.01 or
13.01: (i) the provisions of this Article XIII may be amended, superseded or deleted, (ii) the Limited Guaranty
or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation may be amended, reduced or canceled, and (iii) any other provision of
this Agreement which is related or incidental to the matters described in this Article XIII may be amended in any
manner; in each case by written instrument executed or consented to by the Company and Residential Funding but
without the consent of any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee being
required unless any such amendment would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the
interests of, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company shall also obtain a
letter from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that rated the Class B Certificates at the request of
the Company to the effect that such amendment, reduction, deletion or cancellation will not lower the rating on
the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a) the then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by
such rating agency and (b) the original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency, unless
(A) the Holder of 100% of the Class B Certificates is Residential Funding or an Affiliate of Residential Funding,
or (B) such amendment, reduction, deletion or cancellation is made in accordance with Section 11.01(e) and,
provided further that the Company obtains (subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was
substituted for the Master Servicer solely for the purposes of such provision), in the case of a material
amendment or supercession (but not a reduction, cancellation or deletion of the Limited Guaranty or the
Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation), an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent
counsel) to the effect that any such amendment or supercession will not cause either (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions"
under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the
Code or (b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. A copy

Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
one- to four-family residential, payment-option, adjustable-rate first lien
mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature formed and sold by
RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. None of the
Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the
aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class A Certificates, both as specified above) in certain
distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of one- to four-family
residential, payment-option, adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature (the
"Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant
to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master
Servicer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from
the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class A
Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof
will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event
Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other
cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in the City and State of New York,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from
the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans,
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase
are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar,
by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for
any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an

or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage

respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by

with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family residential, payment-option,
adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and
sold by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor
entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at
the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from
the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class
M- Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master

will be reduced to the extent of the distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.
Any transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase
or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) that either (a) such transferee is not an investment manager,
a named fiduciary or a trustee of any plan, or any other person, acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any plan (a "plan investor"), (b) it has acquired and is holding
such Certificate in reliance on prohibited transaction exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE
2002-41, 67 fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it understands that there are
certain conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the
time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch or Xxxxx'x or (c) (i) the
transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificate is an
"insurance company general account" (within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (c), a "complying insurance company).
If this Certificate (or any interest herein) is acquired or held by any person that does not
satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph, then the last preceding transferee that either (i)
is not a plan investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption, or (iii) is a
complying insurance company shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Certificate owner thereof retroactive to the date of such transfer of this Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any person for making any payments due on this Certificate to such preceding transferee.

of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS, INC. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing
as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record
Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to
Holders of Class SB Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency designated by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate
is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the distributions
allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
No transfer of this Class SB Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee
or the Company may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor)
from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of
any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form
described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar
acting on behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such Federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also
require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the
Company and the Master Servicer with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and
stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class SB Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a
representation letter, in the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either stating that the
transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a
trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan
assets" of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it
to purchase the Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (within the meaning of Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the
availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated
as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called
the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the
Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would
have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies designated by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Holder of the Class
SB Certificates or the Master Servicer, as described in the Agreement, from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans or the Certificates, in either case
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Holder
of the Class SB Certificates or the Master Servicer, as described in the Agreement, (i) to purchase, at a price
determined as provided in the Agreement, all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan or (ii) to purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof,
provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Stated Principal Balance before giving effect to the
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date of the Mortgage Loans, as of the Distribution Date upon which
the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

of adjustable interest rate, first lien mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential properties, sold by

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below
or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured
by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will
have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on
the Certificates.
This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool
of adjustable interest rate, first lien mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential properties, sold by
Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing
as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding that Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the related
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class SB
Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency designated by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate
is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the distributions
allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
No transfer of this Class SB Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee
or the Company may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor)
from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of
any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form
described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar
acting on behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such Federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also
require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the
Company and the Master Servicer with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and
stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class SB Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a
representation letter, in the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either stating that the
transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a
trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan
assets" of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it
to purchase the Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (within the meaning of Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the
availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated
as Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the
Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would
have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies designated by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Holder of the Class
SB Certificates or the Master Servicer, as described in the Agreement, from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans or the Certificates, in either case
thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require the Holder
of the Class SB Certificates or the Master Servicer, as described in the Agreement, (i) to purchase, at a price
determined as provided in the Agreement, all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan or (ii) to purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof,
provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Stated Principal Balance before giving effect to the
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date of the Mortgage Loans, as of the Distribution Date upon which
the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
