ARTICLE II
Organization
Section 2.01. Name. The trust created hereby shall be known as "GMACM Home Equity Loan
Trust 2007-HE1," in which name the Owner Trustee may conduct the business of the Trust, make and execute
contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Trust and xxx and be sued.
Section 2.02. Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office or at such other address in Delaware as the Owner Trustee may designate by
written notice to the Certificateholders, the Depositor, and the Enhancer.
Section 2.03. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in the following
activities:
(i) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates
pursuant to this Trust Agreement and to sell the Notes and the Certificates;
(ii) to purchase the Mortgage Loans and to pay the organizational, start-up
and transactional expenses of the Trust;
(iii) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge and convey the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 5.01 any portion of the Mortgage Loans released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust
pursuant to, the Indenture;
(iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to
which it is to be a party;
(v) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements,
that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or
connected therewith, including, without limitation, to accept additional contributions of equity that
are not subject to the Lien of the Indenture; and
2
(vi) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such
other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the making
of distributions to the Securityholders.
The Trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. 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 Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents while any Note is outstanding without the
consent of the Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing a majority of the aggregate Certificate
Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates, the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer and the
Noteholders of Notes representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Notes.
Section 2.04. Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee
as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set
forth herein.
Section 2.05. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. In consideration of the
delivery by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, of the Securities to the Depositor or its
designee, upon the order of the Depositor, the Depositor, as of the Closing Date and concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trust, without recourse, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Trust Agreement, all of
the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Estate. The foregoing transfer,
assignment, set over and conveyance does not, and is not intended to, result in a creation or an
assumption by the Trust of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection with the
Trust Estate or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except as specifically set forth
herein.
The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, acknowledges the conveyance to the Trust by the
Depositor, as of the Closing Date, of the Trust Estate, including all right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Estate. Concurrently with such conveyance and in exchange therefor, the
Trust has pledged the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee and has executed the Certificates and the
Notes and caused them to be duly authenticated and delivered.
Section 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it shall hold
the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of
the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust
Statute and that this Trust Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust.
Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth
herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes, the Trust shall be treated as an entity wholly owned by the Depositor or an affiliate thereof,
with the assets of the entity being the Trust Estate. It is the further intention of the parties that an
election to be treated as a REMIC ("REMIC I") for federal income tax purposes be made with respect to
the Trust Estate, exclusive of the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account, each of
which shall be treated as an "outside reserve fund" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and that a
second election to be treated as a REMIC be made with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests ("REMIC
II"). The Issuer will provide for the administration of the REMICs pursuant to Article XI of the
Indenture. The provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further such intentions.
3
Neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall have any personal liability for any liability or
obligation of the Trust, other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 7.02 herein.
Section 2.07. Title to Trust Property. Legal title to the Trust Estate shall be vested at
all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction
requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case
title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the
case may be.
Section 2.08. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located and administered in the State of
Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in
the State of Delaware or the State of Minnesota. The Trust shall not have any employees in any state
other than Delaware; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee
from having employees within or without the State of Delaware or taking actions outside the State of
Delaware in order to comply with Section 2.03. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware
or Minnesota, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or Minnesota. The only office
of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee in Delaware.
Section 2.09. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee and the Enhancer that:
(a) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to
conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is at present conducted.
(b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good
standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the
ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications and
in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor and the ability of the Depositor to
perform under this Trust Agreement.
(c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Trust
Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the
property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust as part of the Trust and the Depositor
has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate action;
and the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement have been duly authorized by the
Depositor by all necessary corporate action.
(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any material breach of any of the terms
and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a material default under, the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or any material indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement
4
or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of
the Depositor's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of
any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.
Section 2.10. Payment of Trust Fees. The Owner Trustee shall pay the Trust's fees and
expenses incurred with respect to the performance of the Trust's duties under the Indenture.
ARTICLE III
Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans; Certificates
Section 3.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, convey and assign to the Trust, on behalf of the
Securityholders and the Enhancer, without recourse, all its right, title and interest in and to the
Initial Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to any rights of the Depositor under the Purchase
Agreement. The Depositor shall also provide the Indenture Trustee with the Policy.
The parties hereto intend that, for non-tax purposes, the transaction set forth herein be a
sale by the Depositor to the Trust of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Initial
Mortgage Loans. In the event that, for non-tax purposes, the transaction set forth herein is not deemed
to be a sale, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in all of its right, title
and interest in, to and under the Initial Mortgage Loans, all distributions thereon and all proceeds
thereof; and this Trust Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
Section 3.02. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the
Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and the conveyance of the Initial Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
3.01 and the issuance of the Certificates, GMACM shall be the sole Certificateholder of each Class of
Certificates.
Section 3.03. Issuance of Certificates. The Certificates of each Class shall be issued in
minimum denominations of a Percentage Interest of 10.0000% and integral multiples of 0.0001% in excess
thereof. The Class SB Certificates shall be issued in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A. The Class R-I Certificates and the Class R-II Certificates shall be issued in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibits I-1 and I-2, respectively.
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.04.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued
and entitled to the benefit of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates. A Person
shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
5
Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person's acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such
Person's name, pursuant to Section 3.05.
A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the
rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee's acceptance
of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee's name pursuant to and upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 3.05.
Section 3.04. Authentication of Certificates. Concurrently with the acquisition of the
Initial Mortgage Loans by the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause the
Certificates in an initial Percentage Interest of 100.00% to be executed on behalf of the Trust,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of GMACM, signed by its chairman of the board,
its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by GMACM, in authorized
denominations. No Certificate shall entitle the Certificateholder thereof to any benefit under this
Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. Exhibit I-1 or Exhibit I-2 hereto,
executed by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent, by manual signature, and such
authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 3.05. Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The
Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 3.09, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial
Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee shall
appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09, the Owner
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Certificate Registrar as its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated
the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a
Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a
like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.09.
Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the Certificateholder or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently
disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.
6
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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.
Except as described below, each Certificateholder shall establish its non-foreign status by
submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F).
A Certificate may be transferred to a Certificateholder unable to establish its non-foreign
status as described in the preceding paragraph only if such Certificateholder provides an Opinion of
Counsel to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Enhancer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor, satisfactory
to the Depositor and the Enhancer, that such transfer (1) will not affect the tax status of the Owner
Trust and (2) will not adversely affect the interests of any Securityholder or the Enhancer, including,
without limitation, as a result of the imposition of any United States federal withholding taxes on the
Owner Trust (except to the extent that such withholding taxes would be payable solely from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Certificate of the prospective transferee). If such transfer occurs and
such foreign Certificateholder becomes subject to such United States federal withholding taxes, any such
taxes will be withheld by the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Tax Matters Partner. Each
Certificateholder unable to establish its non-foreign status shall submit to the Certificate Paying
Agent a copy of its Form W-8-BEN or such successor form as required by then-applicable regulations and
shall resubmit such form every three years or with such frequency as required by then-applicable
regulations.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act
and such state laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor
shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (A) either (i) (a) an investment letter
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (or in such form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor) which investment letters shall not be an
expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor 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,
provided by Rule 144A or (ii) (a) a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to
an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act and
such state laws or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act and such state laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer
or the Depositor and (b) the transferee executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D hereto, and the transferor executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of
Exhibit E hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
7
and the Depositor certifying the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not
be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Depositor
and (B) the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F)
acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Depositor. If such Certificateholder is unable to provide a Certificate of Non-Foreign
Status, such Certificateholder must provide an Opinion of Counsel as described in the preceding
paragraph. The Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the Enhancer and the
Depositor 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 Certificates or any interest therein shall
be made to any Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with Plan Assets unless the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel that establishes to the satisfaction
of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer that the purchase of
Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the 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 Trust
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or the Servicer. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a Plan, any Person acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with Plan
Assets of a Plan may provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Trust Agreement, which the
Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer may rely upon without further
inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in
connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any such Affiliate shall be deemed to have represented that
such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets of any Plan) and the Owner Trustee shall
be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Owner Trustee,
shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate
of the Depositor.
In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate:
(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 Certificate Paying Agent 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:
8
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Owner 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 Certificate Registrar 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 J-1)
from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the 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 3.05 and agrees
to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2, from
the Certificateholder of a Class R Certificate wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in
form and substance satisfactory to the 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 Certificate
Registrar 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 Certificate
Registrar in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-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
Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only
if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Certificateholder
of a Class R Certificate 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 Certificate Registrar as a condition
to such registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
9
(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 Certificateholder of a Class R Certificate
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 Certificateholder of a Class R Certificate 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 Certificateholder of a Class R
Certificate thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. The Certificate Registrar 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
3.05 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 Certificateholder of a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.05 and to the extent that the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Certificateholder of such Class R Certificate as
described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
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 Servicer on such
terms as the Servicer may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver
each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer. Such purchaser
may be the Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Servicer. The proceeds of such sale, net of
the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the 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 Servicer, and the 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 Certificate Paying Agent shall make available, upon written request from the
Internal Revenue Service and any potentially affected Person, 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 REMIC
Administrator before it will provide such information to any such potentially affected Person.
10
(v) The provisions of this Section 3.05 set forth prior to this clause (v) may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Owner 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 Notes below the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Notes as of the Closing Date by such Rating
Agency without regard to the Policy; and
(B) subject to Section 11.01(f), an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer stating that the
Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer, to the
effect that such modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of
any of the REMICs to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any portion of any of the REMICs
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.
Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there
shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them and the Issuer from harm, then in the absence of notice to the
Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Paying Agent, as the Trust's authenticating agent, 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 and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 3.06, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying
Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or any Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.08. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. The Certificate
Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days
after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner
Trustee, a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably
11
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If
three or more Certificateholders, or one or more Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the
Certificate Percentage Interest of any Class, apply in writing to the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders, with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such
application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then
the Owner Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford
such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold
any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of
the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 3.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
shall maintain in The City of New York an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (or such other office as the
Indenture Trustee may specify to the Owner Trustee) as its office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee
shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Enhancer of any change
in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
Section 3.10. Certificate Paying Agent.
(a) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from
the Distribution Account on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates
and Section 5.01 hereof from payments remitted to the Certificate Paying Agent by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture. The Trust hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as
Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect
to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be
paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which it
has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Certificates;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Owner Trustee, forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums
so held in trust by such Certificate Paying Agent;
(iv) immediately resign as Certificate Paying Agent and forthwith pay to
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Certificates if
12
at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the
time of its appointment;
(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the
withholding from any payments made by it on any Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed
thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and
(vi) deliver to the Owner Trustee a copy of the report to
Certificateholders prepared with respect to each Payment Date by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01
of the Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Trust may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the
Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to
perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Indenture Trustee shall
be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee and
the Enhancer; provided the Indenture Trustee is also resigning as Paying Agent under the Indenture at
such time. In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent
under this Trust Agreement and Paying Agent under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a
successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company) and which shall
also be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor
Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument to the effect set forth in this Section 3.10 as
it relates to the Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed
funds to the Trust and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Trust. The provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.04 and 7.01
shall apply to the Certificate Paying Agent to the extent applicable. Any reference in this Trust
Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.
(c) The Certificate Paying Agent shall establish and maintain with itself the
Distribution Account in which the Certificate Paying Agent shall deposit, on the same day as it is
received from the Indenture Trustee, each remittance received by the Certificate Paying Agent with
respect to payments made pursuant to the Indenture. Pending any such distribution, funds deposited in
the Distribution Account on a Payment Date and not distributed to the Certificateholders on such Payment
Date shall be invested by the Certificate Paying Agent in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer
(or if no selection is made by the Servicer in Permitted Investments described in clause (v) of the
definition thereof) maturing no later than the Business Day preceding the next succeeding Payment Date
(except that any investment in the institution with which the Distribution Account is maintained may
mature on such Payment Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to the maturity). All investment
income earned in respect of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall be credited to the
Distribution Account. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make all distributions on the Certificates as
provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture and Section 5.01(a) of this Trust Agreement from moneys on
deposit in the Distribution Account.
13
Section 3.11. Cooperation. The Owner Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any
reasonable request by the Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the Enhancer's rights or interest
under this Trust Agreement or the Insurance Agreement, consistent with this Trust Agreement and without
limiting the rights of the Certificateholders as otherwise expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement.
Section 3.12. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.13. Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, for so
long as any Notes are outstanding or unpaid, the Certificateholders will generally be subordinated in
right of payment, under the Certificates or otherwise, to payments to the Noteholders under, or
otherwise related to, the Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
Indenture, the Certificates will be fully subordinated to obligations owing by the Trust to the
Noteholders and the Enhancer under, or otherwise related to, the Indenture, and no distributions will be
made on the Certificates until the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer have been
irrevocably paid in full.
Section 3.14. No Priority Among Certificates. All Certificateholders shall rank equally as
to amounts distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, with no
preference or priority being afforded to any Certificateholders over any other Certificateholders,
except that amounts distributable will be distributed first to the Class SB Certificates, in an amount
equal to the Class SB Distribution Amount, before being distributed to any other Class of Certificates.
ARTICLE IV
Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee
Section 4.01. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute
and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other
document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a
party, as well as any certificate that supports the factual assumptions made in any Opinion of Counsel
delivered on the Closing Date, and any amendment or other agreement or instrument described herein, in
each case, in such form as the Owner Trustee shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner
Trustee's execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is obligated to take all
actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents.
Section 4.02. General Duties. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible to administer the
Trust pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Trust is
a party and in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance
with the provisions of this Trust Agreement.
Section 4.03. Action upon Instruction.
(a) Subject to this Article IV and Section 11.13 of this Trust Agreement and in
accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction
14
direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by
written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article IV.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any
action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or
shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the
Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Basic Document or is otherwise contrary
to law.
(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of
action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Agreement or under any other Basic Document, or
in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Trust
Agreement or any other Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is,
or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Trust
Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course
of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the
Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances)
to the Certificateholders (with a copy to the Enhancer) requesting instruction as to the course of
action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any
written instructions received from Certificateholders of Certificates representing a majority of the
aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall not be
liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as
reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but
shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust
Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for such action or
inaction.
Section 4.04. No Duties Except as Specified under Specified Documents or in Instructions.
The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to,
register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or
refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which
the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in accordance with the powers granted to
and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement, (ii) in accordance
with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust
Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or
to prepare or file any filing with the Commission for the Trust or to record this Trust Agreement or any
other Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense,
promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that
result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or
the administration of the Trust Estate.
15
Section 4.05. Restrictions.
(a) The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (i) that is inconsistent with the
purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (ii) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner
Trustee, would cause the Trust to be treated as an association (or a publicly-traded partnership)
taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for federal income tax purposes or would cause any
of the REMICs to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause any of the REMICs to be subject to tax at any time
that any of the Notes or Certificates are outstanding or any obligations are due and owing to the
Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to
take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 4.05.
(b) The Owner Trustee shall not convey or transfer any of the Trust's properties or

Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not have any material adverse tax
consequence to the Trust or any Certificateholder and (ii) such conveyance or transfer shall not violate
the provisions of Section 3.16(b) of the Indenture.
Section 4.06. Prior Notice to Certificateholders and the Enhancer with Respect to Certain
Matters. With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless, at
least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the
Certificateholders and the Enhancer in writing of the proposed action and the Enhancer, or if an
Enhancer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Certificateholders of Certificates representing a
majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in
writing prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that the Enhancer or such Certificateholders,
as applicable, have withheld consent or provided alternative direction:
(a) the initiation of any Proceeding by the Trust (except Proceedings brought in
connection with the collection of cash distributions due and owing under the Mortgage Loans) and the
compromise of any Proceeding brought by or against the Trust (except with respect to the aforementioned
Proceedings for collection of cash distributions due and owing under the Mortgage Loans);
(b) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust (unless
such amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute);
(c) the amendment of any of the Basic Documents in circumstances where the consent of
any Noteholder is required;
(d) the amendment of any of the Basic Documents in circumstances where the consent of
any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially and adversely affects the interest of the

Agent or Indenture Trustee or pursuant to this Trust Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar or

Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of
each Class of Certificates, and with the consent of the Enhancer, to (a) remove the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01 thereof or (b) except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, sell the Mortgage Loans after the termination of the Indenture.

Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.
Section 4.09. Restrictions on Certificateholders' Power. The Certificateholders shall not
direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would
be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement or any of the
other Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to
follow any such direction, if given.
Section 4.10. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that may be
taken by the Certificateholders under this Trust Agreement may be taken by the Certificateholders of
Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest of the
Class specified, if any. Except as expressly provided herein, any written notice of the
Certificateholders of a Class delivered pursuant to this Trust Agreement shall be effective if signed by
the Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Certificate
Percentage Interest of such Class at the time of the delivery of such notice.
Section 4.11. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take
any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will,
even after the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with Section 9.05 hereof,
(i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the
registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental
authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or
other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust
Company, or (iii) subject Wilmington Trust Company to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other
than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the
transactions by Wilmington Trust Company or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.
17
ARTICLE V
Application of Trust Funds
Section 5.01. Distributions.
(a) On each Payment Date occurring in the months of March, June, September and
December, on any date on which the Trust is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, and on each other
Payment Date for which the Certificate Paying Agent has received written notice from the
Certificateholders by the Determination Date relating to such Payment Date requesting funds on deposit
in the Distribution Account to be distributed, the Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute to the
Certificateholders all funds on deposit in the Distribution Account and available therefor as provided
in Section 3.05 of the Indenture. Such amounts shall be distributed, first, to the Certificateholders
of the Class SB Certificates, in an amount equal to the Class SB Distribution Amount for such Payment
Date and the Class SB Distribution Amount for any previous Payment Date to the extent not previously
paid, and second, to the Certificateholders of the Class R Certificates, any amounts remaining. All
distributions made pursuant to this Section to any Class of Certificates shall be distributed to the
Certificateholders of such Class pro rata based on the respective Percentage Interests thereof.
(b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions (or
allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable
to such Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.01. The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby
authorized and directed to retain or cause to be retained from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but
such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate
Proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
Proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be
treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Certificate
Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that
withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder), the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in
accordance with this paragraph (b).
(c) Distributions to Certificateholders shall be subordinated to the creditors of the
Trust, including the Noteholders
(d) Allocations of profits, income and losses, as determined for federal income tax
purposes, shall be made among the Classes of Certificates in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and
within each Class of Certificates to the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis based on the Certificate
Percentage Interests thereof.
(e) On each Payment Date, the following amounts in the following order of priority,
from the amounts allocable to the Noteholders and Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
Indenture, shall be deemed to have been distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on account of the REMIC I
Regular Interests or shall be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of
the Class R-I Certificates, as the case may be:
18
(i) first, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to
(A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Payment Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect
thereof remaining unpaid from previous Payment Dates; and
(ii) second, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to
the remainder of the Collections for such Payment Date after the distributions made pursuant to
clause (i) above, allocated in the following order of priority:
(A) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests LT2, LT3 and LT4, the LT2
Principal Distribution Amount, LT3 Principal Distribution Amount and LT4 Principal
Distribution Amount, respectively;
(B) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 is reduced to zero;
(C) to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests LT2, LT3 and LT4, pro
rata according to their respective Uncertificated Principal Balance as reduced by the
distributions deemed made pursuant to clause (A) above, until the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and
(iii) any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R-I Certificates.
(f) On each Payment Date, the amounts allocable to the Noteholders and
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Indenture and deemed to have been distributed to
REMIC I from REMIC II pursuant to paragraph (e), shall be deemed to have been distributed by REMIC II to
the holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests on account of the REMIC I Regular Interests or shall be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the holders of the Class R-II Certificates,
as the case may be in accord with the provisions relating thereto in Section 3.05 of the Indenture and
in this Trust Agreement.
(g) Payments from the Hedge Agreement to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, will be
from the Holder of the Class SB Certificates which is entitled to amounts received under the Hedge
Agreement. The rights of the Holder of the Class SB Certificates to payments from the Hedge Agreements
shall be outside and apart from its rights under the REMIC II Regular Interest SB IO and REMIC II
Regular Interest SB PO, which will not be a part of their ownership of the REMIC II Regular Interests.
Section 5.02. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 8.01(c), distributions required to be
made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date as provided in Section 5.01 shall be made to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately available
funds, to the account of each Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written
instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check or money order
mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
19
Section 5.03. Signature on Returns. The REMIC Administrator, as agent for the Owner
Trustee, shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the REMICs. The Owner Trustee shall give
the REMIC Administrator all such powers of attorney as are needed to enable the REMICs Administrator to
prepare and sign such tax returns. In the event that approval from the applicable District Director of
the Internal Revenue Service for the REMIC Administrator to sign the tax returns is not forthcoming
following application, the REMIC Administrator shall prepare and the Owner Trustee shall sign the tax
returns for the REMICs.
Section 5.04. Statements to Certificateholders. On each Payment Date, the Certificate
Paying Agent shall make available to each Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the
Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Servicing
Agreement with respect to such Payment Date.
ARTICLE VI
Concerning the Owner Trustee
Section 6.01. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Owner Trustee accepts the trusts hereby
created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trusts, but only upon the terms
of this Trust Agreement. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent also agree to disburse all
moneys actually received by it constituting part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of this Trust
Agreement and the other Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable
hereunder or under any Basic Document under any circumstances, except (i) for its own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith or negligent failure to act or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.03 expressly made by the Owner Trustee. In
particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding
sentence):
(a) no provision of this Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document shall require the
Owner Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its rights, duties or powers hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against

and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate

appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining

to Section 8.08 of the Servicing Agreement, unless the Owner Trustee, the REMIC Administrator and the
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Owner Trustee) to the effect that the failure of the REMIC to comply with the requirements of this
Section 8.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust Estate of taxes on "prohibited
transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any of the REMICs to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
25
(i) The Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for such REMIC and
specify the first day of such period in a statement, which the Indenture Trustee shall attach

times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute;
authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or
having a parent that has) long-term debt obligations with a rating of at least A by Moody's or Standard
& Poor's. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose 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
Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01, the
Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.
Section 9.02. Replacement of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to the
Enhancer, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
26
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Indenture Trustee, or if
at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction of
the Enhancer, shall, remove the Owner Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee shall remove the Owner Trustee
under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint
a successor Owner Trustee acceptable to the Enhancer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the
successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. If the Indenture
Trustee is unable to appoint a successor Owner Trustee within 60 days after any such direction, the
Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses
owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Section 9.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and to its predecessor
Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and
expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under
this Trust Agreement; and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and
do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.03 unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.03, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the
Noteholders and the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer. If the Indenture Trustee shall fail to mail such
notice within 10 days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor
Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Indenture Trustee.
27
Section 9.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner
Trustee 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 Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and, provided, further, that the
Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.
Section 9.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of
any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act
as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of
the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part
thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee
under this Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner
Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner
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 Estate or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;
(b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and
(c) The Owner Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner 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 Trust
Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. 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 Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided
28
therein, subject to all the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision
of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful
act under or in respect of this Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the
extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

Trustee and the Enhancer to the effect that such amendment (i) complies with the provisions of this
32
Section and (ii) will not cause the Trust to be subject to any tax or cause any of the REMICs to fail to

Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc. (the "Depositor"). The Trust (as defined herein) was created
pursuant to a trust agreement dated as of March 29, 2007 (as amended and supplemented from time to time,

Trustee," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the

otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the indenture dated as of

and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Certificateholder of this Class SB Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such Certificateholder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each
March, June, September and December or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the
Person in whose name this Class SB 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"), in an amount equal to
the pro rata portion evidenced by this Class SB Certificate (based on the Percentage Interest stated on
the face hereon) of the amount, if any, required to be distributed to Certificateholders of Class SB
Certificates on such Payment Date. Distributions on this Class SB Certificate will be made as provided
in the Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the
Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this
Class SB Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Trust has

Certificates and the Class R-II Certificates.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Class SB Certificate will be made after due notice by the Certificate Paying Agent

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 (the "Securities Act"), and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance the Securities Act and such state laws. In
the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor may require
an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
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, and of
any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the
form described in the Agreement and (iii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferee to
execute an investment letter and a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status in the form described by the
Agreement (or if a Certificate of Non-Foreign Status is not provided, an Opinion of Counsel as described

A-3
Certificateholder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar (unless
otherwise directed by the Depositor) will also require either (i) a representation letter, in the form
of Exhibit G to the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan
subject to the prohibited transaction restrictions or the fiduciary responsibility requirements of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), any person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such
Plan or any Person using the "plan assets," within the meaning of the Department of Labor Regulations
Section 2510.3-101, to effect such acquisition (collectively, a "Plan Investor") or (ii) if such
transferee is a Plan Investor, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, to the
effect that the purchase or holding of such Class SB Certificate is permissible under applicable law,
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) and will not subject the Depositor, the
Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability (including

The Certificateholder of this Class SB Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it
will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account that have been released from the

this Class SB Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to

accompanied by the consent of the Enhancer and an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee to the effect
that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be
subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of any such amendment is to correct any mistake,
eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be
necessary to obtain the consent of any Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with
A-4
a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not cause a Rating Event
determined without regard to the Policy, and the consent of the Enhancer shall be obtained. If the
purpose of any such amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal or state taxes at any time

Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with an Opinion of Counsel that such
amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes and is not materially adverse
to any Certificateholder and the consent of the Enhancer shall be obtained. If the purpose of the
amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in
the preceding two sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from each Rating Agency to
the effect that such amendment will not cause a Rating Event (determined without regard to the Policy or
(b) the consent of Certificateholders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates and
the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of all Certificateholders affected thereby and the Enhancer, or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Certificateholders of which are required to consent

Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar,

Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial
Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Owner Trustee.
Except as provided in the Agreement, the Class SB Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of a 10.0000% Percentage Interest and in integral multiples of a 0.0001% Percentage

governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name this Class SB Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner

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

indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan.

I-1-3
Indenture for payment hereunder and that neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity nor the
Depositor is personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
The Certificateholder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive

any of the other Basic Documents.
The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Owner Trustee and the Enhancer to the effect that such
amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and will not cause the Trust to be subject to an
entity level tax. If the purpose of any such amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any
inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to
obtain the consent of any Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee shall be furnished with a letter from
each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not cause a Rating Event, determined without
regard to the Policy. If the purpose of any such amendment is to prevent the imposition of any federal
or state taxes at any time that any Security is Outstanding, it shall not be necessary to obtain the
consent of the any Certificateholder, but the Owner Trustee and the Enhancer shall be furnished with an
Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes
and is not materially adverse to any Certificateholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or
eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two
sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that
such amendment will not cause a Rating Event, determined without regard to the Policy or (b) the consent
of Certificateholders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates and the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of all Certificateholders affected thereby, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Certificates the Certificateholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Certificateholders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder'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. The initial Certificate Registrar
appointed under the Agreement is the Owner Trustee.
Except as provided in the Agreement, the Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of a 10.0000% Percentage Interest and in integral multiples of a 0.0001% Percentage
I-1-4
Interest in excess thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations, as requested
by the Certificateholder surrendering the same. This Certificate is issued in the Percentage Interest
above.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, 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 Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of this Certificate and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the
Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized
officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition of such taxes
and is not materially adverse to any Certificateholder. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or
eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding two
sentences, the amendment shall require either (a) a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that
such amendment will not cause a Rating Event, determined without regard to the Policy or (b) the consent
of Certificateholders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Certificates and the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of all Certificateholders affected thereby, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
I-2-4
Certificates the Certificateholders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Certificateholders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder'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. The initial Certificate Registrar
appointed under the Agreement is the Owner Trustee.
Except as provided in the Agreement, the Certificates are issuable only in minimum
denominations of a 10.0000% Percentage Interest and in integral multiples of a 0.0001% Percentage
Interest in excess thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations, as requested
by the Certificateholder surrendering the same. This Certificate is issued in the Percentage Interest
above.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, 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 Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of this Certificate and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the
Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized
officer of the Owner Trustee, or an authenticating agent by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

beneficial owner of the GMACM Home Equity Loan-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-HE1, 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.

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

partnership under Section 775 of the 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

trust that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(E) of the Code.

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.
(7) That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on
the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement under
which the Class R-[ ] Certificates were issued (in particular, clause (i)(A) and (i)(B) of Section 3.05
which authorize the Certificate Registrar to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and
negotiate a mandatory sale by the Servicer Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in
violation of Section 3.05). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
restrictions and provisions.
(8) 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.
(9) The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is
___________________________.
(10) 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

any tax.

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.
(13) 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.
(14) The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other plan

Re: GMACM Home Equity Loan-Backed Term Notes,
Series 2007-HE1, Class R
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
_______________________________________________________________________________________(the "Seller") to
____________________________________________________________________________________(the "Purchaser") of
$___________________________ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of GMACM Home Loan Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2007-HE1, Class R-[ ] (the "Certificates"), pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Trust
Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of March 29, 2007 among Residential Asset Mortgage Products,
Inc., as seller (the "Company"), GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as servicer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner
trustee (the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set
forth in the Trust Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants
with, the Company and the Trustee that:
(15) No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the
Certificate by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
(16) The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to
the Trustee and the Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Trust
Agreement as Exhibit J-1. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained therein
is false.
(17) The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Seller has determined
that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the
future. The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class R-[ ] Certificate may not be respected for
J-2-1
United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable for United States income
taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
(18) The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.
Very truly yours,
