successors and assigns, the "Master Servicer"), and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, in its capacity as
trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Company intends to sell mortgage asset-backed pass-through certificates (collectively, the
"Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans.
The terms and provisions of the Standard Terms are hereby incorporated by reference herein as though set
forth in full herein. If any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any
provision contained in the Standard Terms, the terms and provisions of this Series Supplement shall govern. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Standard Terms. The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be dated as of the date of this Series Supplement.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the REMIC Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets
consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will
be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Certificates will represent the sole Class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law. The Class R-I
Certificates will bear interest at the related Pass-Through Rate (as defined herein) and have an initial
Certificate Principal Balance of $100.00. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, remittance
rate (the "Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate") and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each of
the "regular interests" in REMIC I (the "REMIC I Regular Interests"). The "latest possible maturity date"
(determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be the Maturity Date. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

Component and (B) a notional balance equal to the sum of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of the
Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class R Certificates and the Class X-PO
Component and (ii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the weighted average Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage
Loans (reduced by the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-IO Component) and (B) the Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class X-PO Component. With respect to each Distribution Date accrued interest payable to the Class X-IO
Component will be reduced by the amount of Net Deferred Interest that is allocated to the Class X-IO Component
for that Distribution Date.
(3) The Class P Certificates will not represent ownership of an interest in any REMIC.
(4) The Class X-PO Component will have a certificate principal balance, initially equal to $0, that will
increase in an amount equal to the amount of interest distributions payable to the Class X-IO Component that are
used to offset net deferred interest.
The Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $594,389,038.59.
The Mortgage Loans are payment-option, hybrid adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans with a negative
amortization feature having terms to maturity at origination or modification of generally not more than 30 years.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01......DEFINITIONS.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires,
shall have the meanings specified in this Article.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date, as to any Class of Certificates,
other than the Class X-IO Component, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the related
Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount thereof immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. In each case Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates will be reduced by a
portion of the amount of:
(i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on all Mortgage Loans (to the extent not offset by the Master
Servicer with a payment of Compensating Interest as provided in Section 4.01),
(ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in
the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan)) of Realized Losses on all Mortgage Loans not allocated solely to
one or more specific Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05, and
(iii) any other interest shortfalls not covered by the subordination provided by the Class M
Certificates and Class B Certificates, including interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or similar legislation or regulations as in effect from
time to time.
The Senior Percentage of the reductions under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) will be allocated among the
holders of the Class A Certificates and Class R Certificates and Class X-IO Component in proportion to the
respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable from the Mortgage Loans on that
Distribution Date absent these reductions. The remainder of the reductions under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
will be allocated among the holders of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates in proportion to the
respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable on that Distribution Date absent
these reductions. In addition to that portion of the reductions described in the preceding sentence that are
allocated to any Class of Class B Certificates or any Class of Class M Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest
on such Class of Class B Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates will be reduced by the interest
portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely to such Class of Class B
Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05.
With respect to the Class X-IO Component and any Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest on the
Class X-IO Component will consist of the following two amounts: (i) an amount equal to the product of (A) the
Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-IO Component and (B) a notional balance equal to the sum of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class R
Certificates and the Class X-PO Component and (ii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the weighted average Net
Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans (reduced by the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-IO Component) and (B) the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class X-PO Component. With respect to each Distribution Date Accrued
Certificate Interest on the Class X-IO Component will be reduced by any Net Deferred Interest allocable to the
Class X-IO Component for that Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.02(j).
Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class A, Class R, Class M and Class B Certificates and Class X-IO
Component is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve 30-day months.
Adjusted Net Deferred Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of Net
Deferred Interest for that Distribution Date over all amounts otherwise distributable to the Class X-IO Component
for that Distribution Date.
Adjusted Net WAC Rate: With respect to the Class A, Class M, Class R and Class B Certificates and any
Distribution Date, a per annum rate (which will not be less than zero) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period, multiplied by a
fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is 30 and the denominator of which is 360, over (ii)
0.689381%.
Adjusted Rate Cap: With respect to the Class A, Class M, Class R and Class B Certificates, a per annum
rate equal to the Adjusted Net WAC Rate for that Distribution Date reduced by a per annum rate equal to (i) the
product of (a) the Adjusted Net Deferred Interest, if any, for that Distribution Date and (b) 12, divided by (ii)
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
Adjustment Date: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, each date set forth in the related Mortgage Note
on which an adjustment to the interest rate on such Mortgage Loan becomes effective.
Available Distribution Amount: As to any Distribution Date, an amount equal to (a) the sum of (i) the
amount relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the
immediately preceding Determination Date, including any Subsequent Recoveries, and amounts deposited in the
Custodial Account in connection with the substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, (ii) the amount of
any Advance made on the immediately preceding Certificate Account Deposit Date, (iii) any amount deposited in the
Certificate Account on the related Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to the second paragraph of Section
3.12(a), (iv) any amount deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.07 or Section 9.01, (v) any
amount that the Master Servicer is not permitted to withdraw from the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 3.16(e), (vi) any amount received by the Trustee pursuant to the Surety Bond in
respect of such Distribution Date and (vii) the proceeds of any Pledged Assets received by the Master Servicer,
reduced by (b) the sum as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date of (w) any
payments or collections consisting of Prepayment Charges on the Mortgage Loans that were received during the
related Prepayment Period; (x) aggregate Foreclosure Profits, (y) the Amount Held for Future Distribution and (z)

Loans pursuant to clauses (ii)-(x), inclusive, of Section 3.10(a).

Distribution Date and reimbursed to the Master Servicer or Subservicer on or prior to such Distribution Date.
Capitalization Reimbursement Shortfall Amount: As to any Distribution Date, the amount, if any, by

(i) the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate as specified on the face thereof,
plus
(ii) any Subsequent Recoveries added to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate
pursuant to Section 4.02, plus
(iii) an amount equal to the aggregate Net Deferred Interest or Adjusted Net Deferred Interest, as
applicable, added to the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to Section 4.02(j) prior to such
date of determination, minus
(iv) the sum of (x) the aggregate of all amounts previously distributed with respect to such
Certificate (or any predecessor Certificate) or Component and applied to reduce the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and (y) the aggregate of all reductions in
Certificate Principal Balance deemed to have occurred in connection with Realized Losses which were
previously allocated to such Certificate (or any predecessor Certificate) or Component pursuant to
Section 4.05;
provided, that the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of the Class of Subordinate Certificates
with the Lowest Priority at any given time shall be further reduced by an amount equal to the Percentage Interest
represented by such Certificate multiplied by the excess, if any, of (A) the then aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of all Classes of Certificates then outstanding over (B) the then aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans.
In the case of any Class of Certificates other than the Class X Certificates, Adjusted Net Deferred Interest
allocated to such Certificates will be added as principal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of

Distribution Date.
Y3 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date.
Y4 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 after distributions on the prior
Distribution Date (note: Y3 = Y4).
(DELTA)Y1 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 Principal Reduction Amount.
(DELTA)Y2 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 Principal Reduction Amount.

= the aggregate of the principal portions of Realized Losses to be allocated to, and the
principal distributions to be made on, the Certificates on such Distribution Date reduced by
Net Deferred Interest for such Distribution Date.
R0 = the Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts distributed and
Realized Losses allocated on the prior Distribution Date.
R1 = the Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts to be distributed
and Realized Losses to be allocated on such Distribution Date.
(alpha) = (Y2 + Y3)/P0. The initial value of (alpha) on the Closing Date for use on the first
Distribution Date shall be 0.0001.

amounts available to pay Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates results from an interest rate
reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification, or (2) such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest was
attributable to interest shortfalls relating to the failure of the Master Servicer to make any required Advance,
or the determination by the Master Servicer that any proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance with

Accelerated Distribution Percentage for such Distribution Date will equal the Senior Percentage for that
Distribution Date plus 50% of the Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date, and (B) on any Distribution
Date on or after the Distribution Date in October 2010, the Senior Accelerated Distribution Percentage for that
Distribution Date will equal the Senior Percentage for that Distribution Date.

SECTION 2.02......ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. (See Section 2.02 of the Standard Terms.)
SECTION 2.03......REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE COMPANY.
(A) For representations, warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer, see Section 2.03(a) of the
Standard Terms.
(B) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that as
of the Closing Date (or, if otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified and provided that the
percentages of the Mortgage Loans described in this clause (b) are approximate percentages by aggregate Stated
Principal Balance determined as of the Cut-off Date after deducting payments due during the month of the Cut-off

Date none of the Mortgage Loans have been so Delinquent more than once in the 12-month period
prior to the Cut-off Date;
(II) The information set forth in Exhibit One hereto with respect to each Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage

(IV) To the best of the Company's knowledge, if a Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property with a
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, such Mortgage Loan is the subject of a
Primary Insurance Policy that insures (a) at least 35% of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 100.00% and 95.01%, (b) at

(VII) The improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured against loss by fire and other hazards as
required by the Program Guide, including flood insurance if required under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain such
casualty insurance at the Mortgagor's expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's
expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(VIII) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Company had good title to,
and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance

provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(f)(2) or any other provision that would allow a Mortgage Loan to be treated as a
"qualified mortgage" notwithstanding its failure to meet the requirements of Section
860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6),
(7) and (9);
(XIII) A policy of title insurance was effective as of the closing of each Mortgage Loan and is valid and
binding and remains in full force and effect, unless the Mortgaged Properties are located in
the State of Iowa and an attorney's certificate has been provided as described in the Program
Guide;
(XIV) No Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan;
(XV) With respect to each Mortgage Loan originated under a "streamlined" Mortgage Loan program (through which
no new or updated appraisals of Mortgaged Properties are obtained in connection with the
refinancing thereof), the related Seller has represented that either (a) the value of the
related Mortgaged Property as of the date the Mortgage Loan was originated was not less than
the appraised value of such property at the time of origination of the refinanced Mortgage Loan
or (b) the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of the
Mortgage Loan generally meets the Company's underwriting guidelines;
(XVI) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months;
(XVII) None of the Mortgage Loans contain in the related Mortgage File a Destroyed Mortgage Note;

survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or any Custodian.
Upon discovery by any of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Custodian of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties (any Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement); provided,
however, that in the event of a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b)(xii), the
party discovering such breach shall give such notice within five days of discovery. Within 90 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Company shall either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set
forth in Section 2.02; provided that the Company shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing
Date; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from
the date such breach was discovered. Any such substitution shall be effected by the Company under the same terms
and conditions as provided in Section 2.04 for substitutions by Residential Funding. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Company to cure such breach or to so purchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as
to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(A) (See Section 3.07(a) of the Standard Terms.)
(B) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans
subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date):
(I) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage
Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in
connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(II) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including
Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO
Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(III) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the
Subservicer);
(IV) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including
amounts received from Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the
Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a
breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts required to be deposited in
connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.03 or 2.04;
(V) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 3.21;
(VI) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in accordance with Section
4.02(a);
(VII) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional
Collateral;
(VIII) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets; and
(IX) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in connection with any Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment
Charge Loans.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood
and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not
part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on
or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees
may but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event any amount not
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Amounts received
by the Master Servicer in connection with Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment Charge Loans shall be remitted by
the Master Servicer on the Certificate Account Deposit Date to the Trustee. The Custodial Account may contain
funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series and
may contain other funds respecting payments on Mortgage Loans belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or
master serviced by it on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master Servicer shall
keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that have been identified by
it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase
of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master
Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution
Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will
be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day
of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(C) (See Section 3.07(c) of the Standard Terms.)
(D) (See Section 3.07(d) of the Standard Terms.)
(E) Notwithstanding Section 3.07(a), The Master Servicer shall not waive (or permit a Subservicer to waive)
any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally, (ii) the enforcement
thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty
is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a
foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment
of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. In no event will the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment Charge in
connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Master
Servicer is required to deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge at the
time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Custodial
Account. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Master Servicer in
respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust
Fund and not part of any REMIC.

(XVI) to the Senior Certificates, in the priority set forth in Section 4.02(d) of this Series Supplement, the
portion, if any, of the Available Distribution Amount remaining after the foregoing
distributions, applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of such Senior
Certificates, but in no event more than the aggregate of the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances of each such Class of Senior Certificates, and thereafter, to each Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding beginning with such Class with the Highest Priority,
any portion of the Available Distribution Amount remaining after the Senior Certificates have
been retired, applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class of
Subordinate Certificates, but in no event more than the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of each such Class of Subordinate Certificates; and
(XVII) to the Class R-I Certificateholders, the balance, if any, of the Available Distribution Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Distribution Date, with respect to the Class of Subordinate
Certificates outstanding on such Distribution Date with the Lowest Priority, or in the event the Subordinate
Certificates are no longer outstanding, the Senior Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining
unpaid from any previous Distribution Date will be distributable only to the extent that (1) a shortfall in the
amounts available to pay Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates results from an interest rate
reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification, or (2) such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest was
attributable to interest shortfalls relating to the failure of the Master Servicer to make any required Advance,
or the determination by the Master Servicer that any proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan where such Mortgage Loan has not yet been the subject of a Cash Liquidation
or REO Disposition or the related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds have not yet been
distributed to the Certificateholders.
(D) Distributions of principal on the Senior Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made as follows:
(I) the Senior Principal Distribution Amount shall be distributed as follows: (A) first, to the Class R-I
Certificates and Class R-II Certificates, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their
respective Certificate Principal Balances, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof
have been reduced to zero, and (B) second, to the Class A Certificates and the Class X-PO
Component, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Certificate Principal
Balances, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero.
(E) In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries, the Master
Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b)(iii). If, after taking
into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent
Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates
with the Highest Priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. The amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of
Certificates with the next Lower Priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that
Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. Any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will in turn be applied to
increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Lower Priority up to the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05, and
so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of Accrued Certificate
Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which
such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each
Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
(F) On any Distribution Date, the Certificates will be entitled to receive 100% of the prepayments on the
Mortgage Loans that has been fully paid, which amount shall be allocated, pro rata, between those Certificates
based on the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates. Such amounts allocated to the
Certificates shall be treated as part of the related Available Distribution Amount and distributed as part of the
related Senior Principal Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities set forth in 4.02(d) above, in
reduction of such Certificate Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, remaining Certificates will not
be entitled to receive prepayments on the Mortgage Loans that has been fully paid if the following two conditions
are satisfied: (1) the Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of the Stated
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans, is at least two times the weighted average of the initial Subordinate
Percentage, calculated on that basis and (2) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent
60 days or more averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, is less than 50%.
(G) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder
thereof, and the Depository shall be solely responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the
accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant
shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each
indirect participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall
be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor
(H) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms, if the Master Servicer anticipates
that a final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on a future Distribution Date,
the Master Servicer shall, no later than 40 days prior to such final Distribution Date, notify the Trustee and
the Trustee shall, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution, distribute, or cause to be distributed, to each Holder of such Class of
Certificates a notice to the effect that: (i) the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution with respect to
such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificates at the office of the Trustee or as otherwise specified therein, and (ii) no interest shall
accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that
Certificateholders required to surrender their Certificates pursuant to Section 9.01(c) herein do not surrender
their Certificates for final cancellation, the Trustee shall cause funds distributable with respect to such
Certificates to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and credited to a separate non-interest bearing escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders as provided in Section 9.01(d) of the Standard Terms.
(I) On each Distribution Date, all amounts collected representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the
Prepayment Charge Loans received during the related Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Custodial
Account and distributed by the Trustee to Holders of the Class P Certificates and shall not be available for
distribution to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates.
(J) On any Distribution Date, the Net Deferred Interest will be allocated to the Class X-IO Component in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) Net Deferred Interest for such Distribution Date and (ii) amounts payable to
the Holders of the Class X-IO Component on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, Adjusted Net
Deferred Interest shall be allocated among the Class A, Class R, Class M and Class B Certificates in an aggregate
amount equal to the excess, if any, for each such Class of (A) the interest accrued during the Interest Accrual
Period at the Adjusted Net WAC Rate for such Class, over (B) the amount calculated as accrued interest during the
related Interest Accrual Period for such Class at the Adjusted Rate Cap and for such Distribution Date. The
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class X-PO Component will be increased by an amount equal to the Net
Deferred Interest allocated to the Class X-IO Component for such Distribution Date.

(See Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms.)
SECTION 4.04. DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY; ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER. (See
Section 4.04 of the Standard Terms.)
SECTION 4.05. ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES.
(A) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reduction,
Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the case of a
Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the
reduction in the interest portion of the Monthly Payment due in the month in which such Distribution Date
occurs. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. All Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:
first, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero;
second, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
third, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero;
fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero;
seventh, to the Class A Certificates and Class X-PO Component, on a pro rata basis, until the
Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; provided, however, that Realized Losses
allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates shall be allocated to the Class A-2 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero.
On any Distribution Date, Realized Losses will be allocated as set forth herein before distributions of
principal on the Certificates as set forth herein.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis" among two or more specified
Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date in the case of the principal portion of a Realized
Loss or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon payable on such Distribution Date (without regard to
any Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date) in the case of an interest portion of a Realized Loss.
Except as provided in the following sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other
than Debt Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such
Distribution Date; provided that no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Certificates below the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. Any allocation of the
principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding with the Lowest Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of "Certificate Principal
Balance" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(c). Allocations of the interest portions of Realized
Losses (other than any interest rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) shall be made in
proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the definition of "Accrued
Certificate Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(c). Allocations of the interest portion
of a Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification shall be
made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(c). Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service
Reductions shall be made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(c). All Realized Losses and all other
losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(B) Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the
Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such
Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, that no
such reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates below the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses (other
than any interest rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) to any Class of Class A, Class M or
Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by operation of the definition of "Accrued
Certificate Interest" for each Class for such Distribution Date. Allocations of the interest portion of a
Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification shall be made
by operation of the priority of payment provisions of Section 4.02(c). All Realized Losses and all other losses
allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(C) Realized Losses shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to the definition of
REMIC I Realized Losses.

SECTION 4.11. LIMITED MORTGAGE LOAN REPURCHASE RIGHT.
The Limited Repurchase Right Holder will have the option at any time to purchase any of the Mortgage
Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price, up to a maximum of five Mortgage Loans. In the event that this
option is exercised as to any five Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, this option will thereupon terminate. If at
any time the Limited Repurchase Right Holder makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the amount of
the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Limited Repurchase Right Holder provides to the Trustee a
certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the
Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the
Limited Repurchase Right Holder without recourse to the Limited Repurchase Right Holder which shall succeed to
all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative
thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Limited Repurchase Right
Holder will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to
the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. Any tax on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code) imposed on any REMIC resulting from the exercise of the optional repurchase in
this Section 4.11 shall in no event be payable by the Trustee.
SECTION 4.12. DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS.
(A) The Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, enter
into Derivative Contracts, solely for the benefit of the Class B-3 Certificates. Any such Derivative Contract
shall constitute a fully prepaid agreement. The Master Servicer shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether
any Derivative Contract conforms to the requirements of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.12. Any
acquisition of a Derivative Contract shall be accompanied by an appropriate amendment to this Agreement,
including an Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 11.01, and the consent of each holder of a Class A, Class
M or Class B Certificates to the acquisition of such Derivative Contract. All collections, proceeds and other
amounts in respect of the Derivative Contracts payable by the Derivative Counterparty shall be distributed to the
Class B-3 Certificates on the Distribution Date following receipt thereof by the Trustee. In no event shall such
an instrument constitute a part of any REMIC created hereunder. In addition, in the event any such instrument is
deposited, the Trust Fund shall be deemed to be divided into two separate and discrete sub-trusts. The assets of
one such sub-trust shall consist of all the assets of the Trust Fund other than such instrument and the assets of
the other sub-trust shall consist solely of such instrument.
(B) Any Derivative Contract that provides for any payment obligation on the part of the Trust Fund must (i)
be without recourse to the assets of the Trust Fund, (ii) contain a non-petition covenant provision from the
Derivative Counterparty, (iii) limit payment dates thereunder to Distribution Dates and (iv) contain a provision
limiting any cash payments due to the Derivative Counterparty on any day under such Derivative Contract solely to
funds available therefor in the Certificate Account to make payments to the Holders of the Class B-3 Certificates
on such Distribution Date.
(C) Each Derivative Contract must (i) provide for the direct payment of any amounts by the Derivative
Counterparty thereunder to the Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to the related Distribution
Date, (ii) contain an assignment of all of the Trust Fund's rights (but none of its obligations) under such
Derivative Contract to the Trustee on behalf the Class B-3 Certificates and shall include an express consent of
the Derivative Counterparty to such assignment, (iii) provide that in the event of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such Derivative Contract shall terminate upon the direction of a majority Percentage Interest of the
Class B-3 Certificates, and (iv) prohibit the Derivative Counterparty from "setting-off" or "netting" other
obligations of the Trust Fund and its Affiliates against such Derivative Counterparty's payment obligations
thereunder.

any transfer of an interest in a Global Offered Certificate from a Holder of an interest in a Global Offered
Certificate, the requirements of (I)(A) and (B) above shall not apply and any transferee of a Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate will be deemed to have represented and warranted as to the matters set forth in Exhibit J
attached to the Standard Terms and any transferee of a Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate or
Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate will be deemed to have represented and warranted as to the

Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if
the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
(E) (i) In the case of any Certificate presented for registration in the name of any
Person, either (I) (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), and will not subject the
Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer or (B) the prospective
Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with a certification to
the effect set forth in paragraph fifteen of Exhibit G-1, which the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry
or investigation, or such other certifications as the Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to
establish that such Transferee or the Person in whose name such registration is requested is not an employee
benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
or any Person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is using
"plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan Investor") or (II) in the case of any
Global Offered Certificate, the Transferee will be deemed to represent that it is not a Plan Investor.
(ii) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any
Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(e) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Underwriters and
the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a
result of such acquisition or holding.
(F) (See Section 5.02(f) of the Standard Terms.)
(G) Provisions Regarding Rule 144A and Regulation S Transfers. (i) Class B Certificates or Class P
Certificates sold to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in and in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933
Act shall be represented by one or more Rule 144A Global Offered Certificates. Class B Certificate or Class P
Certificate sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be
represented initially by Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates).
(ii) The Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be exchanged on
the later of (a) 40 days after the later of the Closing Date (b) the date on which the requisite certifications
are due to and provided to the Trustee (the later of clauses (a) and (b), the "Exchange Date") for Permanent
Regulation S Global Offered Certificates. Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be issued in registered
form, without coupons, and deposited upon the order of the Transferor with the Trustee as custodian for and
registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository for credit to the account of the depositaries for Euroclear
and Clearstream).
(iii) A Certificate Owner holding an interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate may receive payments in respect of the Certificates on the Temporary Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate only after the delivery, to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written
certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit Six, and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream,
as the case may be, to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar of a certification or certifications substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit Seven (the "Clearing System Certificate"). The delivery by a Certificate Owner
of the certification referred to above shall constitute its irrevocable instruction to Euroclear or Clearstream,
as the case may be, to arrange for the exchange of the Certificate Owner's interest in the Temporary Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate for a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate
after the Exchange Date in accordance with paragraph (iv) below.
(iv) After (i) the Exchange Date and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Registrar of
written instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to
credit or cause to be credited to either Euroclear's or Clearstream's, as the case may be, Depository's account a
beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate in a principal amount not greater
than that of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, the Certificate
Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate and increase the principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate,
by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be
so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of Euroclear, Clearstream or a Person who
has an account with the Depository as the case may be, a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate having a Certificate Principal Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate that was reduced upon the transfer. Upon return of the entire principal amount of the Temporary
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interests in the Permanent
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, Trustee shall cancel the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate by perforation and shall forthwith destroy it.
(v) For transfer of an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, if the Certificateholder of a beneficial
interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate deposited with the Depository wishes at any time
to exchange its interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, or to transfer its interest in
the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form
of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and
procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and the Depository, as the case may be, give directions for the
Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an
equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate
Registrar of instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, from the Depository or from the Certificateholder, as
the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate equal to the Percentage Interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate to be exchanged or transferred (such instructions to contain information regarding the
Depository Participant account to be credited with the increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of
an interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, information regarding the Depository
Participant account to be debited with the decrease), the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to
reduce the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and the
Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal
amount of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred,
and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial
interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate.
(vi) For transfers of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate for
an interest in a Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, if a Certificate Owner holding a beneficial interest in
the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate for an interest in a Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, or to transfer its interest in
the 144A Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the
Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the
Depository, give directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause
the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of (A) instructions given in accordance with the
Depository's procedures from a Depository Participant or from the Certificateholder, as the case may be, directing
the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to
be exchanged or transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Depository's procedures containing
information regarding the account of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Depository
Participant, as the case may be, to be credited with the increase and the name of the account and (C)
certificates in the forms of Exhibits Eight and Nine, respectively, given by the proposed transferee and the
Certificate Owner of the interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the Rule
144A Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the
Depository, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of
the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate
equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.02(g), the Underwriter
may exchange beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates held by it for
interests in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificates only after delivery by the Underwriter of instructions for
the exchange substantially in the form of Exhibit Ten. Upon receipt of the instructions provided in the
preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the principal amount of the
Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so transferred and shall instruct the Depository to
increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate and credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the placement agent a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate having a
principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate was reduced upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions provided in the first sentence of this
clause (vii).
(viii) If a transfer of a Class B Certificate or Class P Certificate which is a
Definitive Certificate is to be made, the Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made
pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the
Company or the Master Servicer.
(ix) The Holder of a Class B Certificate or Class P Certificate desiring to effect
any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer,
sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner
provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee, an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for
the payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. OPTIONAL PURCHASE BY THE MASTER SERVICER OF ALL CERTIFICATES; TERMINATION UPON PURCHASE BY THE
MASTER SERVICER OR LIQUIDATION OF ALL MORTGAGE LOANS.
(A) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee
to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the
Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be
taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(I) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(II) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market
value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans
as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid
principal balance (net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on the day of
repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage
Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan), to, but not including, the first day of the
month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however, that in no event shall
the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price
set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to
avoid disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a
REMIC. The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by
Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in
respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With
Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii)
above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, after to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than one percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been
reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15
and the Trustee and any Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Master
Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior
to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than one percent of the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to
purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest
Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this
right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective
obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(B) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days prior notice of the Distribution Date
on which (1) the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders as a
result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans or on which (2) the
Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased as a result of the exercise by the Master
Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates. Notice of any termination, specifying the anticipated Final
Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to the
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Certificate Registrar) mailed (or distributed through the Depository with
respect to any Book-Entry Certificates) not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(I) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to
be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee
therein designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by
the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such
purchase is to be made,
(II) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates,
the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(III) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case
of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the
exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give
such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the
Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to
each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the
Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the
Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an
Eligible Account, established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate
Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered holders of the Certificates, before the
Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to the
purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the
Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(C) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the Class M, Class B and Class P Certificates, upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof in connection with the exercise by the Master
Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee
shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if
not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the
outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or
the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to the Class A Certificates,
Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, (B) with respect
to each Class M Certificate and Class B Certificate, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus
Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (C) with respect to the Class A,
Class M and Class B Certificates, the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, allocated thereto for such
Distribution Date or remaining unpaid from prior Distribution Dates and accrued interest thereon at the
applicable Pass-Through Rate, on a pro rata basis based on Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, allocated thereto for
such Distribution Date or remaining unpaid from prior Distribution Dates. Notwithstanding the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding
hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.

Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were determined to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the other property described above, such security

a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee)
of the documents required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.01(b)
above (except that for purposes of such acknowledgement only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in blank) and declares that it, or the
Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part of the Custodial Files
delivered to it, or a Custodian as its agent, and the rights of Residential Funding with respect to any Pledged Assets, Additional
Collateral and the Surety Bond assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders. The Trustee or Custodian (the Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the
benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b) within 45 days after the
Closing Date to ascertain that all required documents (specifically as set forth in Section 2.01(b)), have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as supplemented, that have
been conveyed to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all documents
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim
Certification. Upon delivery of the Custodial Files by the Company or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt
(or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by
the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01(c) above.
If the Custodian, as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Custodial File to be
missing or defective, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer and the Company. Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the
Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee of any such omission or defect found
by it in respect of any Custodial File held by it in respect of the items reviewed by it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If
such omission or defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify Residential Funding of such omission or defect and request Residential Funding to correct or cure such omission or defect
within 60 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect and, if Residential Funding does not correct
or cure such omission or defect within such period, require Residential Funding to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at
its Purchase Price, within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect; provided that if the
omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any
such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.07 and,
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall release the contents of any related Mortgage File in its possession to the owner of such
Mortgage Loan (or such owners' designee) and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Residential Funding or its designee
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of Residential Funding to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material and adverse
defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available
to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Master Servicer and the Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the
Closing Date:
(i) The Master Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
governing its creation and existence and is or will be in compliance with the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged
Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not violate the Master Servicer's Certificate of Formation or Limited Liability Company Agreement or
constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material
default) under, or result in the material breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the
Master Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Master Servicer or any of its assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the Company, constitutes a valid,
legal and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law;
(iv) The Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of
any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and
adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Master Servicer or its properties or might have
consequences that would materially adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which
would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under each Required Insurance Policy;
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report delivered to the Company, any Affiliate
of the Company or the Trustee by the Master Servicer will, to the knowledge of the Master Servicer, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the information, certificate, statement or report not
misleading;
(viii) The Master Servicer has examined each existing, and will examine each new, Subservicing Agreement and is or will be familiar
with the terms thereof. The terms of each existing Subservicing Agreement and each designated Subservicer are acceptable to
the Master Servicer and any new Subservicing Agreements will comply with the provisions of Section 3.02; and
(ix) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and
procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.
Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being so
obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, the Master Servicer
shall either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with respect to a Mortgage Loan
or a related document, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section
2.02; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The
obligation of the Master Servicer to cure such breach or to so purchase such Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy in
respect of a breach of a representation and warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) available to the Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans are set forth in Section 2.03(b) of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of Residential Funding.
The Company, as assignee of Residential Funding under the Assignment Agreement, hereby assigns to the Trustee for the
benefit of Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment Agreement applicable to a Mortgage
Loan. Insofar as the Assignment Agreement relates to the representations and warranties made by Residential Funding in respect of
such Mortgage Loan and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and
interest may be enforced by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the
Assignment Agreement (which, for purposes hereof, will be deemed to include any other cause giving rise to a repurchase obligation
under the Assignment Agreement) in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
(the Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify Residential Funding of such
breach and request that Residential Funding either (i) cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the date the
Master Servicer was notified of such breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the
manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that Residential Funding shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date; provided that
if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. If a breach of the
Compliance With Laws Representation has given rise to the obligation to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
4 of the Assignment Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall request that Residential Funding pay to the Trust Fund, concurrently
with and in addition to the remedies provided in the preceding sentence, an amount equal to any liability, penalty or expense that
was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust Fund, and that directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and
paid by the Trust Fund thereafter, concurrently with such payment. In the event that Residential Funding elects to substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, Residential Funding shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, if required pursuant to
Section 2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by
Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to Residential Funding on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
For the month of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter Residential Funding shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan
was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the Schedule of Discount Fractions, for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the amended Schedule of
Discount Fractions, to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement and the related Subservicing Agreement in all respects, Residential Funding shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the related Assignment Agreement,
and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, in Section 2.03 hereof
and in Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which a Repurchase Event (as defined in the Assignment Agreement) has occurred pursuant to
Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that
are to be distributed to the Certificateholders in the month of substitution). Residential Funding shall deposit the amount of such
shortfall into the Custodial Account on the day of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor. Residential Funding shall give
notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to the calculation
of such shortfall and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a)
any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions"
under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any
portion of any REMIC to fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Residential Funding to cure such breach or purchase, or to substitute
for, a Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing and to make any additional payments required under the
Assignment Agreement in connection with a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer is
Residential Funding, then the Trustee shall also have the right to give the notification and require the purchase or substitution
provided for in the second preceding paragraph in the event of such a breach of a representation or warranty made by Residential
Funding in the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the purchase of or substitution for any such Mortgage Loan by Residential
Funding, the Trustee shall assign to Residential Funding all of the Trustee's right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment
Agreement applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates/Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC I Certificates.
As provided in Section 2.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.06. Conveyance of Uncertificated REMIC I and REMIC II Regular Interests; Acceptance by the Trustee.
As provided in Section 2.06 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.07. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC II.
As provided in Section 2.07 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.08. Purposes and Powers of the Trust.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the following activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental
thereto or connected therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with
conservation of the Trust Fund and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
11.01, the trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized
by the terms of this Agreement while any Certificate is outstanding, and this Section 2.08 may not be amended, without the consent of
the Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
respective Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02,
to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized
and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of consent to assumption or modification in connection
with a proposed conveyance, or of assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan
and all other comparable instruments, or with respect to the modification or re-recording of a Mortgage for the purpose of correcting
the Mortgage, the subordination of the lien of the Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government agency or unit with
powers of eminent domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure, the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of any property acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the management, marketing and conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer
further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the
name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best
judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R)System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely
as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the
preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16(c), with no right of reimbursement;
provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it
becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related
Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subject to Section 3.07(a), the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both
constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or
final regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan
that is treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action taken by the Master Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such powers of attorney. In servicing
and administering any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement,
comply with the Program Guide as if it were the originator of such Mortgage Loan and had retained the servicing rights and
obligations in respect thereof. In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals and brokerage services that are not customarily provided
by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor in accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii)
may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit
repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders,
be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and
such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by Section 3.10(a).
(c) The Master Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in connection with the offering of pass-through certificates
evidencing interests in one or more of the Certificates providing for the payment by the Master Servicer of amounts received by the
Master Servicer as servicing compensation hereunder and required to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage
Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter be an obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' and Sellers'
Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect Subservicing Agreements entered into by Residential Funding and Subservicers
prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and may enter into new Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers, for the
servicing and administration of all or some of the Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive
and retain, as provided in the related Subservicing Agreement and in Section 3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of
interest received on such Mortgage Loan after payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Master Servicer in respect of
such Mortgage Loan. For any Mortgage Loan that is a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive
and retain an amount equal to the Subservicing Fee from payments of interest. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in
this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be
taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are
generally required or permitted by the Program Guide and are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the
Subservicer have agreed. A representative form of Subservicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit E. With the approval of the
Master Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain
obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or a
different form of Subservicing Agreement, and the form referred to or included in the Program Guide is merely provided for
information and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different
Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of either this Agreement or the Program Guide in a manner which would materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Program Guide and any other Subservicing Agreement entered into between the Master Servicer and any
Subservicer shall require the Subservicer to accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories
in a timely manner.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall use its best reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related
Subservicing Agreement and of each Seller under the related Seller's Agreement insofar as the Company's rights with respect to
Seller's obligation has been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, to the extent that the non-performance of any such Seller's obligation
would have a material and adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the obligation to purchase a Mortgage
Loan on account of defective documentation, as described in Section 2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty,
as described in Section 2.04. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Subservicing Agreements or Seller's Agreements, as appropriate, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer would employ in its good faith business judgment and which
are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if
any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. For purposes of clarification only, the
parties agree that the foregoing is not intended to, and does not, limit the ability of the Master Servicer to be reimbursed for
expenses that are incurred in connection with the enforcement of a Seller's obligations (insofar as the Company's rights with respect
to such Seller's obligations have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder) and are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(viii).
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the
event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as
servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the
terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer, it
will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters
into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor
Subservicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related
Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer may, in the exercise of its
business judgment, release the terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company and to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or Seller for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and
Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans
involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Master
Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The
foregoing provision shall not in any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage
Loan as referred to in Section 2.02 hereof.
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.
(a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each
Subservicing Agreement that may have been entered into. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be
deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the
Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming
party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting
of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments;
Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any
related Primary Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith business judgment and which
are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Program Guide; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall first determine that any such waiver or extension will not impair the coverage of any related
Primary Insurance Policy or materially adversely affect the lien of the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not enforce any prepayment charge to the extent that such enforcement would violate any
applicable law. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on the related Mortgage Loan
during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason
of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected thereby; provided, however,
that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that the Master Servicer may not modify
materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any modification that would change the
Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage
Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the
Mortgage Loan), capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, further, that (1) no such modification shall reduce the
interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the rate at which the Subservicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues plus the
rate at which the premium paid to the Certificate Insurer, if any, accrues and (2) the final maturity date for any Mortgage Loan
shall not be extended beyond the Maturity Date. In addition, any amounts owing on a Mortgage Loan added to the outstanding principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan must be fully amortized over the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, and such amounts may be added to
the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan only once during the life of such Mortgage Loan. Also, the addition of such
amounts described in the preceding sentence shall be implemented in accordance with the Program Guide and may be implemented only by
Subservicers that have been approved by the Master Servicer for such purpose. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may permit the
Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining
Stated Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided, that such
re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal income tax purposes,
except if such reissuance is described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to
be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the
principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which
an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown Funds, if any,
and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for
which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including amounts received from
Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability,
penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts required to be
deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c), 3.08(b) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a);
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional Collateral; and
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments
in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and, unless otherwise set forth in the
series supplement, payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may but
need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the
Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may contain funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for
mortgage pass-through certificates of other Series and may contain other funds respecting payments on mortgage loans belonging to the
Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master
Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account that have been identified by it as
being attributable to the Mortgage Loans. Further, the Master Servicer shall, not less frequently than every two Business Days,
remove from the Custodial Account any funds relating to Mortgage Loans that are owned by the Master Servicer.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as
included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If
the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to
have occurred) on the last day of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the
funds in the Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the
Certificate Account Deposit Date next following the date of such investment (with the exception of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturities. All income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments attributable to the
investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Master Servicer out of its
own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of any change in the location of the Custodial Account
and the location of the Certificate Account prior to the use thereof.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to establish and maintain one or more Subservicing Accounts
which shall be an Eligible Account or, if such account is not an Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the requirements of the
Program Guide and be otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. The Subservicer will be required thereby to
deposit into the Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its
Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If the Subservicing
Account is not an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received such monies upon receipt thereof by the
Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not be required to deposit in the Subservicing Account payments or collections in the nature of
prepayment charges or late charges or assumption fees. On or before the date specified in the Program Guide, but in no event later
than the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account with respect to each Mortgage Loan
serviced by such Subservicer that are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The Subservicer will also be required,
pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to advance on such scheduled date of remittance amounts equal to any scheduled monthly
installments of principal and interest less its Subservicing Fees on any Mortgage Loans for which payment was not received by the
Subservicer. This obligation to advance with respect to each Mortgage Loan will continue up to and including the first of the month
following the date on which the related Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Trust Fund by deed in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. All such advances received by the Master Servicer shall be deposited promptly by it in the
Custodial Account.
(b) The Subservicer may also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in
the Custodial Account interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan)
on any Curtailment received by such Subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan from the related Mortgagor during any month that is to
be applied by the Subservicer to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the first day of such month,
from the date of application of such Curtailment to the first day of the following month.
(c) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall for any Nonsubserviced Mortgage
Loan, and shall cause the Subservicers for Subserviced Mortgage Loans to, establish and maintain one or more Servicing Accounts and
deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors.
Each Servicing Account shall satisfy the requirements for a Subservicing Account and, to the extent permitted by the Program Guide or
as is otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer, may also function as a Subservicing Account. Withdrawals of amounts related to
the Mortgage Loans from the Servicing Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer or Subservicer out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance Policy) and 3.12(a)
(with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if
required, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account or to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 or in accordance with the Program Guide. As part of its servicing duties, the Master
Servicer shall, and the Subservicers will, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in this account to the extent required by law.
(d) The Master Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the preceding subsection that are not timely paid by the
Mortgagors or advanced by the Subservicers on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due,
but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the
Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and
Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of Certificates legal for investment by federally insured savings
and loan associations, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicers to provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift
Supervision or the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, such access being afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall
permit such representatives to photocopy any such documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge reasonably
approximating the cost of such photocopying to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on
deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.07 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances or other expenses
made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04 or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, such withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loans (including, for
this purpose, REO Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds from the purchase of a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections of Monthly Payments for which any such
advance was made in the case of Subservicer Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B) recoveries of amounts in
respect of which such advances were made in the case of Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to the related Subservicer (if not previously retained by such Subservicer) out of each payment received by the
Master Servicer on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to that
remaining portion of any such payment as to interest (but not in excess of the Subservicing Fee, if not previously retained)
which, when deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such interest being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the amortization schedule of
the related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof at the beginning of the period respecting which such interest was
paid after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest or investment income earned on funds and other property deposited in
or credited to the Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure Profits and any amounts paid by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Principal Prepayment in Full in respect of interest for any period during the calendar month in which such
Principal Prepayment in Full is to be distributed to the Certificateholders;
(vi) to pay to itself, a Subservicer, a Seller, Residential Funding, the Company or any other appropriate Person, as the case may
be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or otherwise
transferred pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all amounts received thereon and not required to be
distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on which the related Stated Principal Balance or Purchase Price is
determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances in the manner and to the extent
provided in subsection (c) below, and any Advance or Servicing Advance made in connection with a modified Mortgage Loan that
is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section 3.07(a), to
the extent the amount of the Advance or Servicing Advance was added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan in
a prior calendar month, or any Advance reimbursable to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for any advance made and expenses incurred by it or the Company, to the extent such
advances or expenses are reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including, but not limited to,
amounts reimbursable (A) pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03 or 10.01 and (B) in connection
with enforcing, in accordance with this Agreement, any repurchase, substitution or indemnification obligation of any Seller
(other than an Affiliate of the Company) pursuant to the related Seller's Agreement);
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant to Section 3.14 in good faith in connection with the
restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b) in connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or
disposition of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section
3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), the Master Servicer's entitlement
thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall keep and maintain
separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial
Account pursuant to such clauses.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any advance made in respect of a
Mortgage Loan that the Master Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance by withdrawal from the Custodial Account of amounts
on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans on any Certificate Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such
determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a Nonrecoverable Advance relating to an Advance pursuant to Section 4.04 on
any such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the portion of such Advance previously paid to
Certificateholders (and not theretofore reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer).
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under
any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or Subservicer, would have been
covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is available, the Master Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect
each such Primary Insurance Policy until the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is
reduced to 80% or less of the Appraised Value in the case of such a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in
excess of 80%, provided that such Primary Insurance Policy was in place as of the Cut-off Date and the Company had knowledge of such
Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to cancel or permit the discontinuation of any Primary Insurance
Policy as to any Mortgage Loan, if the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan is reduced below an amount equal to 80% of the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined in any appraisal thereof after the Closing Date, or if the
Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loan after the Closing Date. In the event
that the Company gains knowledge that as of the Closing Date, a Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of
80% and is not the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy (and was not included in any exception to the representation in Section
2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% then the Master Servicer shall use its
reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance Policy to the extent that such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable
price. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Nonsubserviced
Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a
Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept
in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with an
insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating equal
to or better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such
Rating Agency.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present
or to cause the related Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such
policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any
Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or
remitted to the Master Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Fire Insurance and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with
extended coverage in an amount which is equal to the lesser of the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan or 100 percent of
the insurable value of the improvements; provided, however, that such coverage may not be less than the minimum amount required to
fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost basis. To the extent it may do so without breaching the related
Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall replace any Subservicer that does not cause such insurance, to the extent it is
available, to be maintained. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in
lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which
is at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard
insurance policy. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts
to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for
the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of related
late payments by the Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.10. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property
acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force
and as shall require such additional insurance. Whenever the improvements securing a Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan)
are located at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer
shall cause flood insurance (to the extent available) to be maintained in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount required to compensate for any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement
cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood
insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).
If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 3.12(a), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a) and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit in the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the
Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in
the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of
this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the Master Servicer's officers and
employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Master Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The
amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, whichever is greater,
with respect to the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable
replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer, as the case may be, meeting the requirements, if any, of the Program Guide and
acceptable to the Company. Coverage of the Master Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer
and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.12(b) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.12(b).
Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and
Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer or Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge
of such conveyance, shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under
applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption
which the Master Servicer is restricted by law from preventing; and
(ii) if the Master Servicer determines that it is reasonably likely that any Mortgagor will bring, or if any Mortgagor does
bring, legal action to declare invalid or otherwise avoid enforcement of a due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note
or Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall not be required to enforce the due-on-sale clause or to contest such action.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any
case in which a Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption or
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an
instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer is authorized, subject to the requirements of the sentence next following, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee,
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person; provided, however, none of such terms and requirements shall either (i) both (A) constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the REMIC Provisions and (B) cause any portion of any
REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (subject to Section 10.01(f)), result in the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or (ii) constitute "contributions" after the start-up date under the REMIC
Provisions. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver such documents only if it reasonably determines that (i) its execution and
delivery thereof will not conflict with or violate any terms of this Agreement or cause the unpaid balance and interest on the
Mortgage Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in part, (ii) any required consents of insurers under any Required Insurance Policies
have been obtained and (iii) subsequent to the closing of the transaction involving the assumption or transfer (A) the Mortgage Loan
will continue to be secured by a first mortgage lien pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, (B) such transaction will not adversely
affect the coverage under any Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully amortize over the remaining term thereof,
(D) no material term of the Mortgage Loan (including the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan) will be altered nor will the term of the
Mortgage Loan be changed and (E) if the seller/transferor of the Mortgaged Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage
Loan, such release will not (based on the Master Servicer's or Subservicer's good faith determination) adversely affect the
collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of appropriate instructions from the Master Servicer in accordance with the
foregoing, the Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such assumption or substitution of liability as directed in
writing by the Master Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents, the Master Servicer shall cause
the originals or true and correct copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage
Loan. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(c) The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor
for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any
alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative
Apartment) without any right of reimbursement or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business
judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and
full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the Code as a result thereof and (subject to Section
10.01(f)) that no tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be imposed on any such REMIC as a
result thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained
by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Trustee and Master Servicer shall be entitled to
approve an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided the obligee with respect to such Mortgage
Loan following such proposed assignment provides the Trustee and Master Servicer with a "Lender Certification for Assignment of
Mortgage Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Master Servicer,
providing the following: (i) that the substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a refinancing of such Mortgage; (ii)
that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed assignment will have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or above the rate
of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at the request of the borrower
under the related Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan
and the Master Servicer shall treat such amount as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such Mortgage Loan for all purposes
hereof.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the
ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may take
other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan
for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor)
or permitting a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order
to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (ii) arranging for a
repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a modification in accordance with Section 3.07. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11, follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as shall be required or permitted by the
Program Guide; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in
connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer, however, shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur other reimbursable charges in connection with any
foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine
(i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of
Certificates of one or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges
will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority
for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not such expenses and charges are
actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by
the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts pursuant
to Section 3.10.
In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to realize upon any Additional
Collateral for such of the Additional Collateral Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not,
on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or
otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral in any
manner that would impair the ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed
with any REO Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional Collateral against amounts
owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such Additional Collateral (other than amounts to be released to
the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held
for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of
any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional
Collateral) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other payment received
by the Master Servicer in respect of such Additional Collateral shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.10.
For so long as the Master Servicer is the Master Servicer under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall perform its obligations under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement in accordance with such Agreement and in a manner that is in
the best interests of the Certificateholders. Further, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to realize upon any
Pledged Assets for such of the Pledged Asset Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of
the Trustee, obtain title to any such Pledged Assets as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided
further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Pledged Assets in any manner that would impair the
ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any REO Acquisition in a
manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Pledged Assets against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage
Loan. Any proceeds realized from such Pledged Assets (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in
accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms
and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement, guarantee
agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Pledged Assets) shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of
such Pledged Assets shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Concurrently with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may pursue any remedies that may be available in connection with a
breach of a representation and warranty with respect to any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.04. However,
the Master Servicer is not required to continue to pursue both foreclosure (or similar remedies) with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and remedies in connection with a breach of a representation and warranty if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable
discretion that one such remedy is more likely to result in a greater recovery as to the Mortgage Loan. Upon the occurrence of a
Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, following the deposit in the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds
and other payments and recoveries referred to in the definition of "Cash Liquidation" or "REO Disposition," as applicable, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the
case may be, shall release to the Master Servicer the related Custodial File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
in the Master Servicer or its designee, as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be
part of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the Master Servicer's sole
discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to either of the following provisions, (i) a Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed to have occurred if substantially all amounts expected by the Master Servicer to be
received in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property have been received, and (ii) for purposes of
determining the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled collections or the
amount of any Realized Loss, the Master Servicer may take into account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be received
or any estimated additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or
REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as an REO Property by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO Property shall (except as
otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the
REO Property shall be sold. Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long as such REO Property
shall be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by
the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in effect at the time
of any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any
bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace period) remain in effect.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund shall dispose of such REO Property as soon as practicable, giving due
consideration to the interests of the Certificateholders, but in all cases within three full years after the taxable year of its
acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such shorter period as may be necessary under
applicable state (including any state in which such property is located) law to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC
formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting from such property failing to be
foreclosure property under applicable state law) or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request, more than 60 days before the day on
which such grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of such grace period unless the Master Servicer (subject to Section
10.01(f)) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a
REMIC (for federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax purposes) at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in
which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel).
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of
Counsel, as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust
Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from
such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, as well as any recovery resulting from a collection of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds,
will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance
with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to the Certificateholders to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, and
any related REO Imputed Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage
Loan) to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; third, to the Certificateholders as
a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or REO Property); fourth, to all Subservicing Fees payable therefrom (and the
Subservicer shall have no claims for any deficiencies with respect to such fees which result from the foregoing allocation); and
fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligors is not a United States Person, in connection with
any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent,
if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee (if it holds the related Custodial File) or the Custodian by a certification of a Servicing Officer (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.07 have been or will be so deposited),
substantially in one of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in a form
acceptable to the Custodian, requesting delivery to it of the Custodial File. Within two Business Days of receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Custodial File to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver to the Mortgagor the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, together with the Mortgage
Note with, as appropriate, written evidence of cancellation thereon and to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS(R)
System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Custodian, with a copy to the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in one of the forms attached as
Exhibit F hereto, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in a form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting that
possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the Custodial File be released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to
the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan
under any Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver, or cause the Custodian to deliver,
the Custodial File or any document therein to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause each Custodial File or any
document therein so released to be returned to the Trustee, or the Custodian as agent for the Trustee when the need therefor by the
Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or (ii) the Custodial File or such document has been delivered directly or
through a Subservicer to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating
or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Subservicer to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as
to the name and address of the Person to which such Custodial File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery. In the event of the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall deliver the Request for Release with respect thereto
to the Master Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.
(c) The Trustee or the Master Servicer on the Trustee's behalf shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer, if necessary,
any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings (if signed by the Trustee), the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee
will not invalidate any insurance coverage under any Required Insurance Policy or invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the
Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.16. Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date
the amounts provided for by clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 3.10(a), subject to clause (e) below. The amount of
servicing compensation provided for in such clauses shall be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In the event
that Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds (net of amounts reimbursable therefrom pursuant to Section
3.10(a)(ii)) in respect of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition exceed the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus
unpaid interest accrued thereon (including REO Imputed Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate (or the
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain therefrom and to
pay to itself and/or the related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and any Subservicing Fee considered to be accrued but unpaid.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, assumption fees, late payment charges, investment
income on amounts in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or otherwise shall be retained by the Master Servicer or the
Subservicer to the extent provided herein, subject to clause (e) below.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid, all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for the Primary Insurance Policies, if any, to the extent such premiums
are not required to be paid by the related Mortgagors, and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any co-trustee (as provided in
Section 8.05) and the fees and expense of the Custodian) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in Sections 3.10 and 3.14.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of servicing compensation that the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive for its activities hereunder for the period ending on each Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an
amount equal to Compensating Interest (if any) for such Distribution Date. Such reduction shall be applied during such period to any
income or gain realized from any investment of funds held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account to which the Master
Servicer is entitled pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) or 4.01(b), respectively. In making such reduction, the Master Servicer will not
withdraw from the Custodial Account or Certificate Account any such amount to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or
4.01(b).
Section 3.17. Reports to the Trustee and the Company.
Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written request from the Trustee or the Company, the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee and the Company a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial
Account as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and showing,
for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits in or withdrawals from the Custodial Account in respect of the
Mortgage Loans for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.07 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance and Servicing Assessment.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Company and the Trustee on or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b)
with respect to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be
filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, (i) a servicing assessment as described in
Section 4.03(f)(ii) and (ii) a servicer compliance statement, signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, as described in
Items 1122(a), 1122(b) and 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect that:
(A) A review of the Master Servicer's activities during the reporting period and of its performance under this Agreement
has been made under such officer's supervision.
(B) To the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout the reporting period or, if there has been a failure to fulfill
any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all other parties participating in the
servicing function any additional certifications required under Item 1122 and Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the extent required to be
included in a Report on Form 10-K; provided, however, that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the
Master Servicer's duties hereunder if any such party fails to deliver such a certification.
Section 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants,
which shall be members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to the Company and the Trustee the
attestation required under Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to
the direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted by independent public
accountants substantially in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(rendered within one year of such statement) with respect to such Subservicers.
Section 3.20. Rights of the Company in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Company, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records
maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer
responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish the Company with its most recent financial
statements and such other information as the Master Servicer possesses regarding its business, affairs, property and condition,
financial or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall also cooperate with all reasonable requests for information including, but not
limited to, notices, tapes and copies of files, regarding itself, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates from any Person or Persons
identified by the Company or Residential Funding. The Company may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved
of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Company or its designee. The Company shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.21. Administration of Buydown Funds
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the
requirements for a Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicing Agreement to
require that upon receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer will
withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals
the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer
together with the related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when
Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the
Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement. The
amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be
paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such
Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof
(either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall be required to
withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit the
same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if
instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy if the Mortgaged Property is
transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted
pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.22. Advance Facility
(a) The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance
Facility") under which (1) the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another Person (an "Advancing Person") the Master
Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees
to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No
consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Master Servicer may
enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund
Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Master Servicer's behalf, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement. If the Master Servicer enters into
an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and/or Servicing Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances ("Servicing
Advance Reimbursement Amounts" and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, "Reimbursement Amounts") (in each case to the extent
such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, then the Master
Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.10(a)(ii) and
(vii) and remit such Reimbursement Amounts in accordance with this Section 3.22 or otherwise in accordance with the documentation
establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an "Advance Facility Trustee")
designated by such Advancing Person in an Advance Facility Notice described below in Section 3.22(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Master Servicer may direct, and if so directed in writing the
Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant to the
preceding sentence. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or 6.02(c) hereof
and shall not be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall
Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in the Available Distribution Amount or
distributed to Certificateholders.
(b) If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the election set forth in Section 3.22(a), the Master
Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee a written notice and payment
instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance
Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is
included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable
Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to an Advance Facility Trustee designated in the Advance Facility
Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Master Servicer and the related
Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee). The Master Servicer shall provide the Certificate Insurer, if any, with
notice of any termination of any Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.22(b).
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to
the Mortgage Loans for which the Master Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii) and
(vii) hereof, assuming the Master Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in Section 3.10(c) of
this Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to
Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any duty or liability with respect to
the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the Company or the Trustee have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or have any responsibility to track, monitor or verify the payment of Reimbursement Amounts to
the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The Master Servicer shall maintain and provide to any Successor Master
Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advancing Person. The Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the Master Servicer and
the Successor Master Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) Upon the direction of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute such acknowledgments,
certificates and other documents reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee provided by the Master Servicer recognizing the interests of
any Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Master Servicer may cause to be made subject to
Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.22.
(e) Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances
or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis, subject
to the qualifications set forth below:
(i) Any successor Master Servicer to Residential Funding (a "Successor Master Servicer") and the Advancing
Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be required to apply all amounts available in accordance with this Section 3.22(e)
to the reimbursement of Advances and Servicing Advances in the manner provided for herein; provided, however, that after the
succession of a Successor Master Servicer, (A) to the extent that any Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to any
particular Mortgage Loan are reimbursed from payments or recoveries, if any, from the related Mortgagor, and Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, if any, with respect to that Mortgage Loan, reimbursement shall be made, first, to the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan
to the extent of the interest of the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in such Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, second to the Master Servicer in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan in
excess of those in which the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee Person has an interest, and third, to the
Successor Master Servicer in respect of any other Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan, from
such sources as and when collected, and (B) reimbursements of Advances and Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable
Advances shall be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and any such Successor
Master Servicer, on the other hand, on the basis of the respective aggregate outstanding unreimbursed Advances and Servicing
Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances owed to the Advancing Person, Advance Facility Trustee or Master Servicer pursuant
to this Agreement, on the one hand, and any such Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, and without regard to the
date on which any such Advances or Servicing Advances shall have been made. In the event that, as a result of the FIFO
allocation made pursuant to this Section 3.22(e), some or all of a Reimbursement Amount paid to the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee relates to Advances or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than Residential Funding
or the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, then the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be required
to remit any portion of such Reimbursement Amount to the Person entitled to such portion of such Reimbursement Amount.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Residential Funding shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by Residential Funding to the
extent the related Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee. The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require Residential Funding to provide to the related
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed
to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each date of remittance thereof to such Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each
Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
(ii) By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Master Servicer
resigns or is terminated at a time when the Master Servicer is a party to an Advance Facility, and is replaced by a
Successor Master Servicer, and the Successor Master Servicer directly funds Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to a
Mortgage Loan and does not assign or pledge the related Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee, then all payments and recoveries received from the related Mortgagor or received in the form of
Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan (including Insurance Proceeds collected in connection with a
liquidation of such Mortgage Loan) will be allocated first to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee until the
related Reimbursement Amounts attributable to such Mortgage Loan that are owed to the Master Servicer and the Advancing
Person, which were made prior to any Advances or Servicing Advances made by the Successor Master Servicer, have been
reimbursed in full, at which point the Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain all related Reimbursement
Amounts subsequently collected with respect to that Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement. To the extent
that the Advances or Servicing Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant to
Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, as described in clause
(i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the
Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate
to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor Master Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master Servicer
without the consent of any Certificateholder, with written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in
the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such
Certificates, and an opinion of counsel as required by Section 11.01(c), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Company, any Successor Master Servicer or any other
Person might otherwise have against the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall not attach to any rights to be reimbursed for
Advances or Servicing Advances that have been sold, transferred, pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may
be) and the Advancing Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall have received Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the
aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned
to the Advancing Person, then upon the delivery of a written notice signed by the Advancing Person and the Master Servicer or its
successor or assign) to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice (the "Notice of Facility Termination"), the Master
Servicer or its Successor Master Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Reimbursement Amounts from the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
(j) After delivery of any Advance Facility Notice, and until any such Advance Facility Notice has been terminated by a
Notice of Facility Termination, this Section 3.22 may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the
related Advancing Person.
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 4.01. Certificate Account.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account in which the Master Servicer shall cause to be deposited on
behalf of the Trustee on or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date by wire transfer of immediately
available funds an amount equal to the sum of (i) any Advance for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, (ii) any amount
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.12(a), (iii) any amount required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.16(e) or Section 4.07, (iv) any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.01 and (v)
all other amounts constituting the Available Distribution Amount for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
(b) The Trustee shall, upon written request from the Master Servicer, invest or cause the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account to invest the funds in the Certificate Account in Permitted Investments designated in the name of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, which shall mature or be payable on demand not later than the Business Day next preceding the
Distribution Date next following the date of such investment (except that (i) any investment in the institution with which the
Certificate Account is maintained may mature or be payable on demand on such Distribution Date and (ii) any other investment may
mature or be payable on demand on such Distribution Date if the Trustee shall advance funds on such Distribution Date to the

necessary to make distributions on the Certificates) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. Subject to Section
3.16(e), all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject
to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of
reimbursement. The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's
economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser (with respect to investments made through its Affiliates),
administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii)
using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted

form attached hereto as Exhibit Q to such Rating Agency within a reasonable period of time; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not be required to provide such information more than four times in a calendar year to any Rating Agency.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after it receives a written request from a Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R
Certificate, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each Person
who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate, a statement containing
the information set forth in clauses (v) and (vi) of the exhibit to the Series Supplement referred to in subsection (a) above

of a Class R Certificate. Such obligation of the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, as soon as reasonably practicable, shall provide the
requesting Certificateholder with such information as is necessary and appropriate, in the Master Servicer's sole discretion, for

Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder including, without limitation, reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-D and Form 8-K. In connection with the

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

all other parties participating in the servicing function any required assessments.

(i) The Trustee shall make available on the Trustee's internet website each of the reports filed with the Commission by or on
behalf of the Company under the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable upon delivery of such reports to the Trustee.
Section 4.04. Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and
the Company; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall furnish a written statement to the
Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Company (the information in such statement to be made available to any Certificate Insurer and
Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the amounts
required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding
Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01(a). The determination by the Master Servicer of such
amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee
shall be protected in relying upon the same without any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit
in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal to the Advances to
be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any
related Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then in effect, on the Outstanding
Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were not received as of the close of business as of the related
Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) withdraw from amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution
in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of
such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in
the Certificate Account on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds
attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such
Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution
Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to use any Advance made by a Subservicer as described in Section 3.07(b) that has been
deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer pursuant to
this Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of outstanding Advances on any
Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall
be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations
shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 3.10.
The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the
Company and the Trustee.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be
unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the immediately succeeding
Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later
than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New York time,
on such day the Trustee shall have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly
deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the Advance as to which the Master Servicer shall have given
notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.04 into the Certificate Account.
Section 4.05. Allocation of Realized Losses.
As provided in Section 4.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 4.06. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property.
The Master Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests
received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns
relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P,
respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such
reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more, the Master Servicer may, at its option,
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price therefor; provided, that such Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days
or more delinquent during any given Calendar Quarter shall only be eligible for purchase pursuant to this Section during the period
beginning on the first Business Day of the following Calendar Quarter, and ending at the close of business on the second-to-last
Business Day of such following Calendar Quarter; and provided, further, that such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more delinquent at the
time of repurchase. Such option if not exercised shall not thereafter be reinstated as to any Mortgage Loan, unless the delinquency
is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes delinquent in payment by 90 days or more in a subsequent Calendar Quarter.
(b) If at any time the Master Servicer makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for
such a Mortgage Loan as provided in clause (a) above, and the Master Servicer provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall
execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the Master Servicer, without recourse, to the Master Servicer, which
shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative
thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Master Servicer will thereupon own such
Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect
thereto.
If, however, the Master Servicer shall have exercised its right to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 4.07
upon the written request of and with funds provided by the Junior Certificateholder and thereupon transferred such Mortgage Loan to
the Junior Certificateholder, the Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee in writing.
Section 4.08. Surety Bond.
(a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant to the Surety Bond with respect to any Additional Collateral Loan, the
Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and the Trustee shall promptly complete the notice in
the form of Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond and shall promptly submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for a Required Surety.
The Master Servicer shall upon request assist the Trustee in completing such notice and shall provide any information requested by
the Trustee in connection therewith.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf of the Holders of Certificates, the Trustee shall
deposit such Required Surety Payment in the Certificate Account and shall distribute such Required Surety Payment, or the proceeds
thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a Certificate any Required Surety Payment from the
Surety and (ii) disburse the same to the Holders of such Certificates as set forth in Section 4.02.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Senior, Class X, Class M, Class B, Class P, Class SB and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set
forth in Exhibits A, A-I, B, C, C-I, C-II and D, respectively, or such other form or forms as shall be set forth in the Series
Supplement, and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for authentication
and delivery to or upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the documents specified in Section
2.01. The Certificates shall be issuable in the minimum denominations designated in the Preliminary Statement to the Series
Supplement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of an authorized officer of the Trustee.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication
and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to
any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Holders
of the Book-Entry Certificates shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of
such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners
with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to
those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of
Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from
or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Company notifies the
Depository and the Trustee of its intent to terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the
Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to such termination through
the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of
the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer,
the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate
evidencing such Certificate Owner's Percentage Interest in the related Class of Certificates. In order to make such a request, such
Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository
Participant with directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate Owner's interest in
such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Percentage Interest in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of instructions from the Depository directing the Certificate Registrar to effect such exchange (such
instructions shall contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being exchanged, the
Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered holder of and delivery instructions for the Definitive
Certificate, and any other information reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar), (i) the Certificate Registrar shall
instruct the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant's account by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Definitive Certificate, (ii) the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in accordance
with the registration and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a Definitive Certificate evidencing such Certificate
Owner's Percentage Interest in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates by the Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate.
None of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its
nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of any instructions required under Section 5.01 and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(c) If the Class A-V Certificates are Definitive Certificates, from time to time Residential Funding, as the initial Holder of
the Class A-V Certificates, may exchange such Holder's Class A-V Certificates for Subclasses of Class A-V Certificates to be issued
under this Agreement by delivering a "Request for Exchange" substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit N
executed by an authorized officer, which Subclasses, in the aggregate, will represent the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests Z
corresponding to the Class A-V Certificates so surrendered for exchange. Any Subclass so issued shall bear a numerical designation
commencing with Class A-V-1 and continuing sequentially thereafter, and will evidence ownership of the Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest or Interests specified in writing by such initial Holder to the Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively, without any
independent verification, rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, Residential Funding's determinations of the Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interests Z corresponding to any Subclass, the Initial Notional Amount and the initial Pass-Through Rate on a Subclass
as set forth in such Request for Exchange and the Trustee shall have no duty to determine if any Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest Z designated on a Request for Exchange corresponds to a Subclass which has previously been issued. Each Subclass so issued
shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to
the Certificate Registrar for authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 5.01(a). Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for exchange by the initial Holder shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer attached to such Certificate and shall be completed to the satisfaction of
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the initial Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Certificates of any Subclass of Class A-V Certificates may be transferred in whole, but not in part, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.02.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee is
initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee, shall provide the Master Servicer with a certified list of
Certificateholders as of each Record Date prior to the related Determination Date.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 and, in the case of any Class M, Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth below, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage
Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of
a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office
or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver the Certificates of such Class which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B Certificate, Class P Certificate or privately offered Class R
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the
event that a transfer of a Class B Certificate, Class P Certificate or privately offered Class R Certificate is to be made either
(i)(A) the Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from
said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the Company or the Master Servicer (except that, if such transfer is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof, the Company or the Master Servicer shall provide such Opinion of Counsel at their own expense); provided that such Opinion
of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate
thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation
letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation
letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be
an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters will not be
required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of
the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or
(ii) the prospective transferee of such a Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer
with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or such other form as the Company in its sole
discretion deems acceptable), which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, and
which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under
Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (B)
is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of any such Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate
Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
(e) (i) In the case of any Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate presented for registration in the name of any Person,
either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and the Master
Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or
holding of such Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), and
will not subject the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer or
(B) the prospective Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with a
certification to the effect set forth in paragraph six of Exhibit H (with respect to any Class B Certificate) or
paragraph fifteen of Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate), which the Trustee
may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications as the Trustee may deem
desirable or necessary in order to establish that such Transferee or the Person in whose name such registration is
requested either (a) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of any such plan) who is using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan Investor")
or (b) in the case of any Class B Certificate, the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an
insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an
"insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
("PTCE") 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each
entity that satisfies this clause (b), a "Complying Insurance Company").
(ii) Any Transferee of a Class M Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or
holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has
acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most
recently amended, PTE 2007-05, 72 Fed. Reg. 13130 (March 20, 2007) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including that such Certificate must be
rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch, Moody's, DBRS
Limited, or DBRS, Inc. or (c) such Transferee is a Complying Insurance Company.
(iii) (A) If any Class M Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held by any Person that does not
satisfy the conditions described in paragraph (ii) above, then the last preceding Transferee that either (i) is not
a Plan Investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption, or (iii) is a Complying
Insurance Company shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate
Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Class M Certificate (or
interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(e) shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Underwriters and the Trust Fund from
and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such
acquisition or holding.
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance
or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized
the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things
necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require
delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of, (I) an
affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1) from the
proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and warranting, among
other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(f) and
agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder
wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing
and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such
proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the
meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf
of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 and all of such
other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the
Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall
become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer
of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer
of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(f) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(f) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Class R Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Master Servicer shall
have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Master Servicer on such terms as the Master Servicer may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions
of the Master Servicer. Such purchaser may be the Master Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer.
The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Master Servicer or
its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon written request from the Trustee, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to
any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Class R
Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that
holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the Master Servicer
from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any, of any Class of the
Senior (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such determination shall be
made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)), Class M or Class B
Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer stating that the Master Servicer has received
an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, to the effect that such
modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person
that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person to be subject to a REMIC-related
tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange
of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any
Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and
to the extent provided in the definition of "Certificateholder," and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any
Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as provided in Section 5.02(f).
Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section
4.02. In the event of any such appointment, on or prior to each Distribution Date the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall
deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the Certificateholders in the amounts
and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such Certificateholders. Any sums
so held by such Paying Agent shall be held only in Eligible Accounts to the extent such sums are not distributed to the
Certificateholders on the date of receipt by such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06. U.S.A. Patriot Act Compliance.
In order for it to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee may obtain and verify certain
information from the other parties hereto, including but not limited to such parties' name, address and other identifying information.
ARTICLE VI
THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Company and the Master Servicer.
The Company and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein. By way of illustration and
not limitation, the Company is not liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section
7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any obligations of the Master Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it
liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may, but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in
accordance herewith.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Master Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties by
Master Servicer.
(a) The Company and the Master Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation
under the laws of the state of its incorporation and as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of its organization,
respectively, and shall each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or other Person in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything in this Section 6.02(b) to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving
Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided
further that the Master Servicer (or the Company, as applicable) shall notify each Rating Agency and the Trustee in writing of any
such merger, conversion or consolidation at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such event.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to the contrary, the Master Servicer may assign its
rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation
shall be a Person which is qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, is reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Company and the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person
of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer
under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency's rating of the Classes of Certificates (in the case of the Insured
Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy
(as defined in the Series Supplement)) that have been rated in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be
qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each
Rating Agency). In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be released from its obligations under
this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Master
Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in the next preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a pledge or assignment by the Master Servicer solely of its rights to
purchase all assets of the Trust Fund under Section 9.01(a) (or, if so specified in Section 9.01(a), its rights to purchase the
Mortgage Loans and property acquired related to such Mortgage Loans or its rights to purchase the Certificates related thereto), the
provisos of the first sentence of this paragraph will not apply.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company,
the Master Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or the
Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein
or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or
administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and
which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer may in
its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on
the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement, the aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction of
the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such expenses and costs constituted a
Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
Section 6.04. Company and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall resign from its respective
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until
the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with
Section 7.02.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever reason for such Event of Default and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(i) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Certificate Account any amounts required to be
so deposited therein at the time required pursuant to Section 4.01 or otherwise or the Master Servicer shall fail to
distribute or cause to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of any Class any distribution required to be made under
the terms of the Certificates of such Class and this Agreement and, in each case, such failure shall continue unremedied for
a period of 5 days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring such failure to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company or to the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(ii) the Master Servicer shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates of any Class or in this Agreement and such failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of 30 days (except that such number of days shall be 15 in the case of a failure to pay the premium
for any Required Insurance Policy) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company, or to the Master Servicer, the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, in the case of any such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25%; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a conservator or receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or relating to, the Master Servicer
or of, or relating to, all or substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to
take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(b) that it is unable to deposit in the Certificate
Account an amount equal to the Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so
long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Company or the Trustee may, and at the direction of Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to
the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Company), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the
Master Servicer and the Company, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder as provided in
Section 4.04(b). On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall subject to Section 7.02 pass to and be vested in the Trustee or the Trustee's designee appointed pursuant to Section
7.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or its designee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. No such
termination shall release the Master Servicer for any liability that it would otherwise have hereunder for any act or omission prior
to the effective time of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Residential Funding in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder,
Residential Funding shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due
prior to the notice terminating Residential Funding's rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such
notice, that portion to which Residential Funding would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(ii), (iv), (vi) and (vii) and
Section 4.01(b), and any other amounts payable to Residential Funding hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder. Upon the termination of Residential Funding as Master Servicer hereunder the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Program Guide.
Section 7.02. Trustee or Company to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns in accordance
with Section 6.04, the Trustee or, upon notice to the Company and with the Company's consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) a designee (which meets the standards set forth below) of the Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject
to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer (except for the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities contained in Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a), excluding the duty to notify related Subservicers or Sellers as set
forth in such Sections, and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses incurred prior to such notice or termination on
the investment of funds in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) and 4.01(b) by the terms and
provisions hereof); provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the preceding Master
Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 4.04 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder
and, in addition, shall be entitled to the income from any Permitted Investments made with amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans
held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in
accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.01, then notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of not
less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee shall become successor to the Master Servicer and shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the initial Master Servicer hereunder. The Company, the Trustee, the Custodian and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master Servicer shall pay the
reasonable expenses of the Trustee in connection with any servicing transition hereunder.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master
Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the
successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate
with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System to the
successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate
recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of
Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (b). The successor
Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original
with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of
Certificates notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured
or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder may waive
such default or Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be
waived only by all of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver pursuant to this
Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver
of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights affected by such default or
Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which
may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case
an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement,
shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of any such documents which do not materially conform to the requirements of this Agreement in the event that the
Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive satisfactorily corrected documents.
The Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely fashion the notices, reports and statements required to be
forwarded by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee shall furnish in a timely fashion to the
Master Servicer such information as the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time for the Master Servicer to fulfill
its duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a
manner so as to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction,
contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are reasonably within
the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee by the Company
or the Master Servicer and which on their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such

any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other than a default in payment to the Trustee) specified in
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7.01 unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such
failure or event or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the
Master Servicer, the Company or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds (including, without limitation, the making of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the
Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the
Trust Fund or its assets or transactions including, without limitation, (A) "prohibited transaction" penalty taxes as defined in

Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it
to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may
have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a Class R Certificate
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any Tax Returns
required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and deliver to the
Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax Returns prepared by or on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is
required to sign as determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws, provided that
the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax Returns that contain errors or omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not accept any contribution of assets to the Trust Fund unless
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
contribution will not (i) cause any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to any federal tax as a result of such contribution
(including the imposition of any federal tax on "prohibited transactions" imposed under Section 860F(a) of the Code).
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution of the Certificates and relating to the
acceptance and receipt of the Mortgage Loans) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Master Servicer as the case may
be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that the Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and
authenticated by it as Certificate Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the MERS(R)System. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the Master Servicer of
any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Company or
the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account by the Company or the Master Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees
and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any co-trustee from time to time, and the Trustee and any
co-trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by each of them in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and any co-trustee, and the
Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee and any co-trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and the
expenses incurred by the Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to Section
8.12) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee's part, arising out of, or in connection with, the
acceptance and administration of the Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
defending itself against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement
and the Custodial Agreement, and the Master Servicer further agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the provisions set forth in the second paragraph of
Section 2.01(c) hereof, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of investigating and defending itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating to the
provisions of this paragraph, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer written notice thereof promptly after the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Master Servicer in
preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for settlement of any
claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations created by this Section 8.05(b) of the Master Servicer to indemnify the
Trustee under the conditions and to the extent set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the Master Servicer in this Section 8.05(b) shall not be
available (A) for any loss, liability or expense of the Trustee, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim, incurred in connection with any actions taken by the Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or (B) where the Trustee is required to indemnify the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 12.05(a).
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association having its principal office in a
state and city acceptable to the Company and organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and the short-term rating of such institution shall
be A-1 in the case of Standard & Poor's if Standard & Poor's is a Rating Agency. If such corporation or national banking association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. In addition, in the event that the Company
determines that the Trustee has failed (i) to distribute or cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders any amount required to
be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held by the Trustee or its Paying Agent (other than the Master Servicer or the Company)
for distribution or (ii) to otherwise observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or obligations
hereunder, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 5 days (in respect of clause (i) above) or 30 days (in respect
of clause (ii) above other than any failure to comply with the provisions of Article XII, in which case no notice or grace period
shall be applicable) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring that the same be remedied, shall have been
given to the Trustee by the Company, then the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
delivered as provided in the preceding sentence. In connection with the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Company shall, on or before the date on which any such appointment becomes effective, obtain from each Rating Agency
written confirmation that the appointment of any such successor trustee will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class
of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly
authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and
one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to
its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Custodial Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Custodial Files at the time
held by a Custodian, which shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Company, the Master Servicer and the
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Company fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall mail notice of any such merger or consolidation to the Certificateholders
at their address as shown in the Certificate Register.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved
by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any
part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee,
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate
trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with
the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, 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 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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Appointment of the Custodian.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer and the Company, or shall, at the direction of the Company and the
Master Servicer, appoint custodians who are not Affiliates of the Company, the Master Servicer or any Seller to hold all or a portion
of the Custodial Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company, Master Servicer and Trustee acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee hereunder with respect to
the acceptance, custody, inspection and release of Custodial Files, and the preparation and delivery of the Interim Certification
required pursuant to Section 2.02, shall be performed by the Custodian as and to the extent set forth in the Custodial Agreement.
Subject to Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement with respect to the Custodial Files
and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the related custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each
custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Custodial File. Each
Custodial Agreement, with respect to the Custodial Files, may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. The Trustee shall notify
the Certificateholders of the appointment of any custodian (other than the custodian appointed as of the Closing Date) pursuant to
this Section 8.11.
Section 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain an office or agency in the United States at the address designated in Section 11.05 of the Series
Supplement where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee will maintain an office at the
address stated in Section 11.05 of the Series Supplement where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of this
Agreement may be served.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
Section 9.01. Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final
Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall
terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX
following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if less than
such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect
to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance
(net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the
Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first
day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created
hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further
that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid
disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC. The purchase price paid by the
Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of
the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With
Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned
upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full
amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer
shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following
payment of the purchase price, release to the Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior to giving effect to
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price
equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for
the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this
right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations and
responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master
Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the
Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that
the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates).
Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a
Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the terms
hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates, specifying
the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by
the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding
Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is
exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any
other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated where required pursuant
to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution
Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in
either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case of the Senior
Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right
to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the
outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As
a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deposit in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase
price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right
to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account, established by the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered
holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The
Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders
thereof, and in the case of the Class M and Class B Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders thereof in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, and
otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise
distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the assets of the
Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or
the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with respect to the Class R
Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for distribution (including the repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of
subsection (a) of this Section) over the total amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding
hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final
Distribution Date (if so required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account not
distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by
depositing such funds in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders,
and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case)
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of
contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all
amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such
Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master
Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with
this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the Distribution Date on which a purchase of the
outstanding Certificates is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account deposited therein
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a separate escrow account, which may be
non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to such
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second
notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the
Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow
account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation in
accordance with this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and
the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on
the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will be deemed to have been
purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus
any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to
have been purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until the Master Servicer has terminated the
respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX. The Master
Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each REMIC that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the failure of each such REMIC to comply with the requirements of
this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in
Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC and specify the first day of such period
in a statement attached to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Master
Servicer also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for a REMIC under Section 860F of the Code
and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining
assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof; and
(iii) If the Master Servicer or the Company is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer
shall, during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the Final Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets of
the Trust Fund for cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the Master Servicer as its
attorney-in-fact to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC at the expense of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.03. Termination of Multiple REMICs.
If the REMIC Administrator makes two or more separate REMIC elections, the applicable REMIC shall be terminated on the
earlier of the Final Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed distributions on the related
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the last distribution due on the Certificates is made.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as one or more REMICs under the Code and, if
necessary, under applicable state law. The assets of each such REMIC will be set forth in the Series Supplement. Such election will
be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for
the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of each REMIC
election in respect of the Trust Fund, Certificates and interests to be designated as the "regular interests" and the sole class of
"residual interests" in the REMIC will be set forth in Section 10.03 of the Series Supplement. The REMIC Administrator and the
Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC elected in
respect of the Trust Fund other than the "regular interests" and "residual interests" so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the
Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest each Class of the Class R
Certificates and shall be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, as tax matters person,
shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the
Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and costs of any such proceeding
and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section
3.10 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence. If the REMIC Administrator is no longer the Master Servicer hereunder, at its option the REMIC Administrator may
continue its duties as REMIC Administrator and shall be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000 per year by any successor
Master Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with
respect to each REMIC created hereunder and deliver such Tax Returns in a timely manner to the Trustee and the Trustee shall sign and
file such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator without
any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any
tax or liability arising from the Trustee's signing of Tax Returns that contain errors or omissions. The Trustee and Master Servicer
shall promptly provide the REMIC Administrator with such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to time request for the
purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to
the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward to the Certificateholders, such information or reports as are required by the Code or the
REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment
Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as
the representative of each REMIC.
(f) The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take
such actions as are reasonably within the Master Servicer's or the REMIC Administrator's control and the scope of its duties more
specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the
Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall not knowingly or
intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
reasonably within their respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
endanger the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a
tax upon any such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of
Counsel or the indemnification referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Master Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such
party fails to pay such expense, and the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, determines that taking such
action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to each REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as
applicable, determine in its or their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition of such a tax, result in the
imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken because the timing of such action might
result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would
not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence
with respect to any taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other preconditions to the taking of
such action have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to
which the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action
with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or any related assets thereof, or causing any such REMIC to take any action, which is not
expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator,
as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any such REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause any such REMIC to take any such action as to which
the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of
same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense
of the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer will to the
extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of
each REMIC created hereunder as "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from foreclosure property" of any such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed
by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Master Servicer, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Master
Servicer has in its sole discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, (ii) to the Trustee, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, or (iii) otherwise against amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and on the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement the
aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the
same manner as if such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
(h) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC
created hereunder unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC will
not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section 10.01(f)) enter into any arrangement by which any
REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by
which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates) representing a
regular interest in the applicable REMIC and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest
(other than each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by a Class A-V Certificate, if any) and the rights to the Interest
Only Certificates and Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by a Class A-V Certificate would be reduced to zero is the
Maturity Date for each such Certificate and Interest.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form
8811, "Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations" for
each REMIC created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in
connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or
sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any REMIC created hereunder, (iii) the
termination of any such REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or
III of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for any such REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Custodial Account or
the Certificate Account for gain nor accept any contributions to any such REMIC after the Closing Date unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as
a REMIC or (b) unless the Master Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause
such REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 10.02. Master Servicer, REMIC Administrator and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator and the Master Servicer for any taxes
and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company or the
Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee's covenants set forth in Article VIII or this Article X.
(b) The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes
and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the REMIC Administrator's covenants set forth in this Article X with
respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of
Tax Returns prepared by the REMIC Administrator that contain errors or omissions; provided, however, that such liability will not be
imposed to the extent such breach is a result of an error or omission in information provided to the REMIC Administrator by the
Master Servicer in which case Section 10.02(c) will apply.
(c) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator and the Trustee for any taxes
and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the
REMIC Administrator or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X or in
Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties arising from the
Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

therein or to correct any error,

qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk
of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided
that the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain

in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder and (C) such change shall not result in a reduction of the
rating assigned to any Class of Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such
Certificates as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such
determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)), as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(f) or any other provision hereof restricting transfer of the
Class R Certificates, by virtue of their being the "residual interests" in a REMIC, provided that (A) such change shall not
result in reduction of the rating assigned to any such Class of Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or

to Section 10.01(f)), as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking so to modify, eliminate or
add such provisions), cause any REMIC created hereunder or any of the Certificateholders (other than the transferor) to be
subject to a federal tax caused by a transfer to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement
which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or
(vii) to amend any provision herein or therein that is not material to any of the Certificateholders.
(b) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates with a Certificate Principal Balance greater than zero affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement
unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 10.01(f) and at the expense of the party seeking such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee
in accordance with such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not result in the imposition of a federal tax on the Trust Fund or
cause any REMIC created under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to the Custodian and each Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to obtain and deliver to the Trustee any corporate guaranty,
payment obligation, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar instrument or a reserve fund, or any
combination of the foregoing, for the purpose of protecting the Holders of the Class B Certificates against any or all Realized
Losses or other shortfalls. Any such instrument or fund shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Class B
Certificateholders, but shall not be and shall not be deemed to be under any circumstances included in the Trust Fund. To the extent
that any such instrument or fund constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (i) any reserve fund so established
shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of the Trust Fund, (ii) any such reserve fund shall be owned by the Company, and
(iii) amounts transferred by the Trust Fund to any such reserve fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Trust Fund to the
Company or any successor, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) as it reads as of the Cut-off Date. In
connection with the provision of any such instrument or fund, this Agreement and any provision hereof may be modified, added to,
deleted or otherwise amended in any manner that is related or incidental to such instrument or fund or the establishment or
administration thereof, such amendment to be made by written instrument executed or consented to by the Company but without the
consent of any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee being required unless any such
amendment would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the interests of the Senior Certificateholders,
the Class M Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company obtains (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that any such amendment
will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1)
of the Code and (b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. In
the event that the Company elects to provide such coverage in the form of a limited guaranty provided by GMAC LLC, the Company may
elect that the text of such amendment to this Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (in which
case Residential Funding's Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation as described in such exhibit shall be established by Residential
Funding's consent to such amendment) and that the limited guaranty shall be executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with
such changes as the Company shall deem to be appropriate; it being understood that the Trustee has reviewed and approved the content
of such forms and that the Trustee's consent or approval to the use thereof is not required.

Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee (pursuant to the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights), but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
(b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement
may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor
entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any
court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of any of the
parties hereto.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control
the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or
members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken
by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests of such Class, shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall
have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and
for the common benefit of Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may be. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 11.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 11.08. Supplemental Provisions for Resecuritization.
This Agreement may be supplemented by means of the addition of a separate Article hereto (a "Supplemental Article") for the
purpose of resecuritizing any of the Certificates issued hereunder, under the following circumstances. With respect to any Class or
Classes of Certificates issued hereunder, or any portion of any such Class, as to which the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any
designee thereof) is the registered Holder (the "Resecuritized Certificates"), the Company may deposit such Resecuritized
Certificates into a new REMIC, grantor trust or custodial arrangement (a "Restructuring Vehicle") to be held by the Trustee pursuant
to a Supplemental Article. The instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed by the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee; provided, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall withhold their consent thereto if their respective
interests would not be materially adversely affected thereby. To the extent that the terms of the Supplemental Article do not in any
way affect any provisions of this Agreement as to any of the Certificates initially issued hereunder, the adoption of the
Supplemental Article shall not constitute an "amendment" of this Agreement.
Each Supplemental Article shall set forth all necessary provisions relating to the holding of the Resecuritized Certificates
by the Trustee, the establishment of the Restructuring Vehicle, the issuing of various classes of new certificates by the
Restructuring Vehicle and the distributions to be made thereon, and any other provisions necessary for the purposes thereof. In
connection with each Supplemental Article, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the
Restructuring Vehicle will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust or other entity not subject to taxation for federal income tax purposes
and (ii) the adoption of the Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (subject to Section
10.01(f)) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC as set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).
Section 11.09. Allocation of Voting Rights.
As provided in Section 11.09 of the Series Supplement.
Section 11.10. No Petition.

ARTICLE XII
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB
Section 12.01. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article XII is to
facilitate compliance by the Company with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The
Company shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in
good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the
Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and
agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Company in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the
basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate reasonably with the
Company to deliver to the Company (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Company to permit the
Company to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
Section 12.02. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company as of the Closing Date and on each date
on which information is provided to the Company under Sections 12.01, 12.02(b) or 12.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the
Company prior to such date: (i) it is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other
performance triggering event has occurred as to any other Securitization Transaction due to any default of the Trustee; (ii) there
are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its trustee
obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the trustee; (iii) there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it that would be material to Certificateholders; (iv)
there are no relationships or transactions (as described in Item 1119(b) of Regulation AB) relating to the Trustee with respect to
the Company or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or
other material transaction party (as each of such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction
contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Company to the Trustee in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a "Transaction
Party") that are outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length transaction with
an unrelated third party, apart from the Securitization Transaction, and that are material to the investors' understanding of the
Certificates; and (v) the Trustee is not an affiliate (as contemplated by Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB) of any Transaction Party.
The Company shall notify the Trustee of any change in the identity of a Transaction Party after the Closing Date.
(b) If so requested by the Company on any date following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, within five
Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph
(a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide the
pertinent facts, in writing, to the Company. Any such request from the Company shall not be given more than once each calendar
quarter, unless the Company shall have a reasonable basis for questioning the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties.
Section 12.03. Information to Be Provided by the Trustee.
For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Company's reporting obligation
under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Trustee shall provide to the Company a written description of
(a) any litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Trustee as of the last day of each calendar month that would be
material to Certificateholders, and (b) any affiliations or relationships (as described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB) that develop
following the Closing Date between the Trustee and any Transaction Party of the type described in Section 12.02(a)(iv) or 12.02(a)(v)
as of the last day of each calendar year. Any descriptions required with respect to legal proceedings, as well as updates to
previously provided descriptions, under this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to the Determination
Date following the month in which the relevant event occurs, and any notices and descriptions required with respect to affiliations,
as well as updates to previously provided descriptions, under this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than January 31 of the
calendar year following the year in which the relevant event occurs. As of the related Distribution Date with respect to each Report
on Form 10-D with respect to the Certificates filed by or on behalf of the Company, and as of March 15 preceding the date each Report
on Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates is filed, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that any information
previously provided by the Trustee under this Article XII is materially correct and does not have any material omissions unless the
Trustee has provided an update to such information. The Company will allow the Trustee to review any disclosure relating to material
litigation against the Trustee prior to filing such disclosure with the Commission to the extent the Company changes the information
provided by the Trustee.
Section 12.04. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
On or before March 5 of each calendar year, the Trustee shall:
(a) deliver to the Company a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) regarding the Trustee's
assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under

Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by
the Trustee and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Section 12.05. Indemnification; Remedies.
(a) The Trustee shall indemnify the Company, each affiliate of the Company, the Master Servicer and each affiliate of the Master
Servicer, and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold
each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:
(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information,
report, certification, accountants' attestation or other material provided under this Article XII by or on behalf of the Trustee
(collectively, the "Trustee Information"), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Trustee Information a material

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
(ii) any failure by the Trustee to deliver any information, report, certification or other material
when and as required under this Article XII, other than a failure by the Trustee to deliver an accountants' attestation.

omission to state in the RFC Information a material fact required to be stated in the RFC Information or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

or the Master Servicer shall be liable to the other for any consequential or punitive damages whatsoever, whether in contract, tort
(including negligence and strict liability), or any other legal or equitable principle; provided, however, that such limitation shall

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or
interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any
of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency

This certifies that is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate [(obtained by dividing the [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial

[conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to
below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among
the Company, the Master Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions
of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th
day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day
is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such
distribution (the "Record Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount [(of interest and principal, if any)] required to be distributed to Holders of Class
A- Certificates on such Distribution Date. [The [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount of the [Interest Only/Class A-V]
Certificates as of any date of determination is equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans corresponding

the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency

distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage
Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related
recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the
benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in denominations
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or
the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase
by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans, thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer to
(i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any
such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which
the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which
further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature,
this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

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

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or
interest in Residential Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any
of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency

This certifies that Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by
this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of all Class B- Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting
primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and
sold by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the

pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the

bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th
day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first Distribution
Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such
last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month next preceding the month of such

Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee or by a
Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency

No transfer of this Class B Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said
Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee or the Company may require an opinion of counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form

Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code") and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class B Certificate will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form
as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an
investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by

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

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

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

Background
This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed
amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a
transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the
investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the
safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.
Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules
governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In
general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded
for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to
[[Page 47452]]
enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A
purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful
purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either
knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or
unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income.
Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual
interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements
are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation
of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation
requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the
transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax
obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to
pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of
noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even
in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the
transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with
holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed
rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe
harbor by adding the "formula test," an economic test. The proposed
regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The
present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire
the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the
REMIC generates losses.
The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs.
Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements
for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by
reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.
In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3
I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers
could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the
proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a
transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation
requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the
transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-
prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first
prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the
two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets
exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee
generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic,
taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest
to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that
also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot
rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know,
that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit
the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be
satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic
residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible
transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a
corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an
applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as
foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax
liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset
by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or
collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the
congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in
all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the
Code.
The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers
transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have
attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment
in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on
excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide
that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer
is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test
or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to
represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual
interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or
fixed base.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer
may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to
pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section
11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of
taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration
taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the
comments received, this provision has been amended in the final
regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable
income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative
minimum tax rate applicable to corporations.
Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present
values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate
equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc.
2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that "present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable
Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually"
and that "[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can
demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or
business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third
party." The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based
on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use
unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test,
frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury
Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other
than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary
complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed
regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if
the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial
funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and
the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable
Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers' computations, the final
regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates,
provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding
period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to
transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the
proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may
choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed
regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August
19, 2002.
It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with
respect to
[[Page 47453]]
FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in
substantially its present form, with the result that the final
regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of
FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability
date as is contained in this document.
Effect on Other Documents
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of
noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August
19, 2002.
Special Analyses
It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a
substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual
interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has
been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that
sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations.

Buyer, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Buyer in its financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Buyer's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Buyer is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the
Buyer is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Buyer acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the seller to it and other parties related to
the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Buyer may be in
reliance on Rule 144A.
Will the Buyer be purchasing the Rule 144A
Yes No Securities only for the Buyer's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the Buyer agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold
to the Buyer for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Buyer will only purchase
for the account of a third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition,
the Buyer agrees that the Buyer will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Buyer has obtained a current representation
letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.
7. The Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and
conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Buyer's purchase of Rule 144A Securities will constitute a reaffirmation of this
certification as of the date of such purchase.

ARTICLE XIII
Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty
Section 13.01. Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty. (a) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior
to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine whether it or any Sub-Servicer will be entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) on such Distribution Date
for Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances previously made, (which will not be Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances that were made with
respect to delinquencies which were subsequently determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from Residential Funding of an amount
equal to the amount of any Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.02(a), to the extent such Advances or
Sub-Servicer Advances have not been included in the amount of the Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and shall distribute
the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution
Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any Realized Losses (other than Excess Special
Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Extraordinary Losses) will be allocated to the Class B Certificates
on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05, and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from Residential Funding of
the amount of such Realized Loss and shall distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount
were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a); provided, however, that the amount of such demand in respect of any Distribution
Date shall in no event be greater than the sum of (i) the additional amount of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been paid
for the Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution Date had such Realized Loss or Losses not occurred plus (ii) the amount of
the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date due to such Realized Loss
or Losses. Notwithstanding such payment, such Realized Losses shall be deemed to have been borne by the Certificateholders for
purposes of Section 4.05. Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary Losses
allocated to the Class B Certificates will not be covered by the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation.
(c) Demands for payments pursuant to this Section shall be made prior to the later of the third Business Day
prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date by the Master Servicer with written notice thereof to the Trustee.
The maximum amount that Residential Funding shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section on any Distribution Date (the "Amount
Available") shall be equal to the lesser of (X) minus the sum of (i) all previous payments made under subsections
(a) and (b) hereof and (ii) all draws under the Limited Guaranty made in lieu of such payments as described below in subsection (d)
and (Y) the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates, or such lower amount as may be established

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

Class B-[_] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of
a pool of fixed and adjustable interest rate, first lien mortgage loans on
one- to four-family residential properties sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS
INCORPORATED
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS INCORPORATED, the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred
to below or GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT
LOANS INCORPORATED, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any
obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the
Certificates.
This certifies that [CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool
of fixed interest rate, first and junior lien mortgage loans on one- to four- family residential properties (the
"Mortgage Loans"), sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS INCORPORATED (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing
as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding that Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the related
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class
B-[_] Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Any Transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or
holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other
plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code or a person (including an insurance company
investing its general account, an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is
using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition. Any purported Certificate owner whose
acquisition or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in
Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of, this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in St. Xxxx, Minnesota. The Initial Certificate Principal
Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated
as Home Equity Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the
Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would
have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in St. Xxxx, Minnesota, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and there upon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer, as

Class B-[_] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of
a pool of fixed and adjustable interest rate, first lien mortgage loans on
one- to four-family residential properties sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS
INCORPORATED
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an
obligation of or interest in RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS INCORPORATED, the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred
to below or GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT
LOANS INCORPORATED, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, GMAC MORTGAGE GROUP, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any
obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the
Certificates.
This certifies that [CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool
of fixed interest rate, first and junior lien mortgage loans on one- to four- family residential properties (the
"Mortgage Loans"), sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS INCORPORATED (hereinafter called the "Depositor," which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing
as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding that Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the related
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class
B-[_] Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Master
Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Any Transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or
holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other
plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code or a person (including an insurance company
investing its general account, an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is
using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition. Any purported Certificate owner whose
acquisition or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in
Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of, this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in St. Xxxx, Minnesota. The Initial Certificate Principal
Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes designated
as Home Equity Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the
Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would
have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes
other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the Agreement and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in St. Xxxx, Minnesota, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and there upon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer, as
described in the Agreement, from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of such Mortgage Loans or the Certificates, in either case thereby effecting early retirement of the
Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require the Master Servicer, as described in the Agreement,
(i) to purchase, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) to purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the

Principal Balance before giving effect to the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date of the Mortgage
Loans, as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than one
percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
