Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer), (2) with respect to
each MOM Loan, deliver to, and deposit with, the respective Custodian, the documents or

the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the
related Mortgage Note.
(ii) The original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Home Equity Loan and
language indicating that the Home Equity Loan is a MOM Loan if the Home Equity Loan is a MOM
Loan, with evidence of recording thereon, or, if the original Mortgage has not yet been
returned from the public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage with evidence of
recording indicated thereon in the event the recording office keeps the original or if the
original is lost, or if the original or a copy of the original Mortgage has not yet been
returned from the public recording office, a copy of the original Mortgage.

System and noting the presence of a MIN) at an address specified by the Seller.
(iv) Originals of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of recording
thereon, or a copy of such intervening assignment, with evidence of recording thereon, or,
if the original of any such intervening assignment has not yet been returned from the public
recording office, a copy of such original intervening assignment.
(v) A copy of each assumption, modification, consolidation or substitution agreement, if

Within the time period for the review of each Custodial File set forth in
Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall notify the Master Servicer and
the Credit Enhancer of any document or documents constituting a part of a Custodial File
which are missing or defective in respect of the items reviewed as described in Section
2.3(b) of the Custodial Agreement; provided, that if the defect or missing item with respect
to a Home Equity Loan related to such Custodial File is listed on Schedule A of Exhibit 1 of
the Custodial Agreement, no notification shall be necessary. As set forth in Section 2.3 of
the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Credit
Enhancer a certificate (the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all documents
required to be delivered pursuant to this Subsection 2.1(c) have been executed and received
and that such documents relate to the Home Equity Loans identified on the Group I Loan
Schedule or Group II Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on such Interim
Certification. If such omission or defect materially and adversely affects the interests in
the related Home Equity Loan of the Noteholders or the Credit Enhancer, the Master Servicer
shall promptly notify the Seller (provided that a Custodial File will not be deemed to
contain a defect for an unrecorded assignment under clause (iii) above if the Seller has
submitted such assignment for recording or if such assignment is not required to be recorded
pursuant to the terms of the following paragraph), the Seller shall cure such defect,
repurchase the related Home Equity Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute an Eligible
Substitute Loan for the related Home Equity Loan upon the same terms and conditions set
forth in Section 3.1(d) hereof for breaches of representations and warranties as to the Home
Equity Loans. With respect to any missing Loan Agreements referred to in Subsection
3.1(b)(xxxi) and Subsection 3.1(c)(xxxiv), the Seller shall have 60 days from the Closing
Date to deliver the documents referred to in this Subsection 2.1(c). If such documents have
not been delivered within 60 days, the Seller shall repurchase the related Home Equity Loan
or substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan for the related Home Equity Loan upon the same
terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.1(d) hereof for breaches of representations and
warranties as to the Home Equity Loans. If a material defect in any of the documents in the
Mortgage File held by the Master Servicer (or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer) is
discovered which may materially and adversely affect the value of the related Home Equity
Loan, or the interests of the Noteholders or the Credit Enhancer in such Home Equity Loan,
including the Seller's failure to deliver such documents to the Master Servicer (or an
Affiliate of the Master Servicer) on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Seller shall cure
such defect, repurchase the related Home Equity Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute
an Eligible Substitute Loan therefor upon the same terms and conditions set forth in Section
3.1(d) hereof for breaches of representations and warranties as to the Home Equity Loans.
Within 60 days after the receipt by the Master Servicer of the recording
information necessary to complete the recording of each of the assignments referred to in
clause (iii) above, the Seller at its own expense shall complete, or cause to be completed,
in the name of the Indenture Trustee, and shall submit each such assignment for recording
in the appropriate public office for real property records each of the assignments referred
to in clause (iii) above. While such assignment to be recorded is being recorded, the
Custodian shall retain a photocopy of such assignment. If any assignment is lost or
returned unrecorded to the Custodian because of any defect therein, the Seller is required
to prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Seller
shall cause such assignment to be recorded in accordance with this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any Home Equity Loan where the Seller is the assignee
of record of the Mortgage, the assignment referred to in clause (iii) above shall not be
required to be completed and submitted for recording (a) if an Opinion of Counsel is
provided in form and substance satisfactory to the Credit Enhancer and to each Rating
Agency, to the effect that such recordation of the assignment referred to in clause (iii)
above (completed in the name of the Indenture Trustee) is not required (i) to effect the
sale and conveyance of the Home Equity Loan by the Seller to the Depositor and by the
Depositor to the Issuer, or the granting and perfecting of the security interest in the Home
Equity Loan to the Indenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture or (ii) to defeat any
ownership, security interest or other adverse claim to the Home Equity Loan by any creditor
of the Seller or the Depositor by any purported transferee of such Home Equity Loan in a
purported transfer thereof by the Seller or the Depositor subsequent to such sale and
conveyance or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment
of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its
successors and assigns.
In instances where an original Mortgage or any original intervening assignment
of Mortgage was not, in accordance with clause (ii) or (iv) above, delivered by the Seller
to the Custodian prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered the originals of such documents to such
Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof.
In connection with the assignment of any Home Equity Loan registered on the
MERS(R)System, the Purchaser further agrees that it will cause, at the Purchaser's own
expense, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS(R)System to indicate that
such Home Equity Loan has been assigned by the Purchaser to the Indenture Trustee in
accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer by
including (or deleting, in the case of Home Equity Loans which are repurchased in accordance
with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the
specific Indenture Trustee and (b) the code in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the
series of the Notes issued in connection with such Home Equity Loans. The Purchaser further
agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer
agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any
Home Equity Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Home Equity Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest to the property, conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.1.
(d) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein constitute a sale by
the Seller to the Purchaser of all the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Home
Equity Loans and other property as and to the extent described above. In the event the
transactions set forth herein are deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the

thereof.

Section 2.3 Reserved.
Section 2.4 Variable Funding Notes on or after the Closing Date.
Subject to Section 4.02 of the Indenture, if at any time, the Seller holds
Variable Funding Notes that have reached the Maximum Variable Funding Balance, as
applicable, and to the extent that the same are exchanged for Capped Funding Notes in
accordance with Section 4.01(d) of the Indenture, the Purchaser agrees that, upon written
request made by the Seller at any time, the Purchaser shall use its best reasonable efforts
to cause such Capped Funding Notes held by the Seller to be registered for resale by the
Seller pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Purchaser in accordance
with, and meeting all requirements of, the Securities Act. The Purchaser shall use its best
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective with respect to
such Capped Funding Notes as soon as practicable within a mutually agreed reasonable time
period after the Seller's request. It is contemplated that such registration statement will
be the shelf registration statement pursuant to which the Term Notes issued on the Closing
Date are to be offered, or one substantially similar thereto. In connection with such
registration statement and offering, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for costs
related thereto including registration fees, printing fees, rating fees, legal fees,
accountant's fees, blue sky registration fees and expenses (if any), related expenses of the
Credit Enhancer and other out-of-pocket costs, if any. In connection with such registration
statement and related prospectus, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with an updated
Group I Loan Schedule or Group II Loan Schedule and all other information reasonably
necessary to assure that the statements in the prospectus with respect to the Home Equity
Loans and the Seller (including in its capacity as servicer of the Home Equity Loans) are
complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of sale of such Capped Funding
Notes by the Seller. In addition, the Seller shall provide, or arrange to be provided, to
the Purchaser such additional agreements, opinions and certifications as may be reasonably
requested by the Credit Enhancer. The registration statement shall not include any
information with respect to the Credit Enhancer, except for information approved by the
Credit Enhancer for use therein.
Section 2.5 Draws After an Amortization Event.
In the event that an Amortization Event occurs, any Draws made on the Group II
Loans thereafter shall not be deemed to be "Additional Balances" hereunder, and the
ownership of the related balances shall be retained by the Seller. Following an
Amortization Event, on any Payment Date, with respect to the related Collection Period, all
Interest Collections and Principal Collections in respect of each individual Group II Loan
shall be allocated on a pro rata basis as between the Issuer and the Seller, based on the
relative proportions of the Loan Balance and the Excluded Amount, respectively, as of the
end of the calendar month immediately prior to such Collection Period. Any losses incurred
with respect to any individual Group II Loan following an Amortization Event shall be
allocated on a pro rata basis between the Issuer and the Seller, based on the Loan Balance
and the Excluded Amount thereof as of the date of liquidation of such Group II Loan.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Servicing Agreement, the payments and
collections allocable to the Excluded Amount need not be deposited in the Custodial Account
and shall not be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account or the Payment Account,
and shall be distributed by the Master Servicer to the Seller not less frequently than

month. Monthly payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Loans in the month of

Loan Schedule, as the case may be, to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan and the
substitution of the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver
the amended Group I Loan Schedule or Group II Loan Schedule, as the case may be, to the

subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in all respects, the

Eligible Substitute Loan contained herein set forth in Section 3.1(b) (other than clauses

Deleted Loan is a Group I Loan, or Section 3.1(c) (other than clauses (xiii), (xxiv)(B),
(xxv)(B), (xxvi), (xxvii), (xxxiv) and (xxxvi) thereof), if such Deleted Loan is a Group II
Loan, as of the date of substitution, and the Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or
substitute for any Eligible Substitute Loan as to which a Repurchase Event has occurred as
provided herein. In connection with the substitution of one or more Eligible Substitute
Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (such
amount, a "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Eligible Substitute Loans as of the date of substitution is less than
the aggregate principal balance of all such Deleted Loans (after application of the
principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution that are to be
distributed to the Payment Account in the month of substitution). The Seller shall deposit
the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on the day of substitution, without
any reimbursement therefor. The Seller shall give notice in writing to the Indenture Trustee
and the Credit Enhancer of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the
Issuer, including without limitation in the case of a Group I Loan, any federal tax imposed
on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of REMIC I or
REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Term Note is outstanding.

Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the deposit of such
Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an Eligible Substitute Loan (together with the
related Custodial File) and deposit of any applicable Substitution Adjustment Amount as
provided above, the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall release the
contents of any related Custodial File for the Home Equity Loan being repurchased or
substituted for and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or
its designee such Home Equity Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Home Equity
Loan shall not be an asset of the Issuer.
Except with regard to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.1(b)(viii) and 3.1(c)(x) as provided in Section 3.1(d) hereof, it is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure any breach, or to repurchase or
substitute for, any Home Equity Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the
Purchaser, the Issuer, the Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders) and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders) against the Seller.
In the event that the first, second or third Minimum Monthly Payment due on any Home
Equity Loan after the Cut-off Date has not been received by the Master Servicer or the
related Subservicer within 30 days of the related Due Date for such Minimum Monthly Payment
on such Home Equity Loan, the Seller shall repurchase such Home Equity Loan at the related
Repurchase Price in the manner set forth in Section 2.03 of the Servicing Agreement, in any
case within 60 days of written notice from RFC Asset Holdings II, Inc., which notice shall

Equity Loan in accordance with this paragraph of this Section 3.1 unless the Seller has

simultaneously delivered to the Credit Enhancer, or from the Credit Enhancer, of such breach
of such covenant for such Home Equity Loan within 150 days of the Closing Date. For
purposes of this paragraph of this Section 3.1, any Minimum Monthly Payment on a Home Equity
Loan received by a prior servicer before the servicing of such Home Equity Loan has been
transferred to the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer or any Minimum Monthly Payment
that was received but misapplied by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer shall be
deemed to be received by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer as of the date of
receipt by such prior servicer, the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as applicable.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 3.1 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Issuer,
or the Custodian.

sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Home Equity Loans. The Purchaser
will have the right to review the Home Equity Loans and the Related Documents to determine

discretion, except that the Purchaser and the Credit Enhancer acknowledge and agree that the
Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of the Seller, to any Person

to any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is
a party. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Home Equity
Loans for the purpose of contributing them to the Issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the

the Certificates and pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer will issue and
transfer to or at the direction of the Purchaser, the Notes secured by the Home Equity
Loans. As an inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Home Equity Loans, the Seller
acknowledges and consents to (i) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Issuer of all of the
Purchaser's rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights
relate to Home Equity Loans transferred to the Issuer, (ii) the enforcement or exercise of
any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the
Issuer and (iii) the Issuer's pledge of its interest in this Agreement to the Indenture
Trustee and the enforcement by the Indenture Trustee of any such right or remedy against the
Seller. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as
applicable, shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced
or exercised by the Purchaser directly.
Section 8.10 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein by the Seller and
the provisions of Article VI hereof shall survive the purchase of the Home Equity Loans

APPENDIX E - STANDARD & POOR'S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the
Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that
include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and
thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant
statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they
included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by
the industry.
