Certificate (collectively, the "Mortgage Assets"), contained in the Prospectus
Supplement, the Memorandum, the Diskette, or any Computational Material or ABS
Term Sheets (each as defined herein);
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein, and
other valuable consideration, GMACCM and the Depositor agree as follows:
1. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) GMACCM agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Depositor, its officers and directors, and each person, if any, who
controls the Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Prospectus Supplement, the Memorandum, the Diskette or, insofar as they are
required to be filed as part of the Registration Statement pursuant to the
No-Action Letters, any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets with respect
to the Registered Certificates, or in any revision or amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission (in the case of any such Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets,
when read in conjunction with the Prospectus and, in the case of the Memorandum,
when read together with the other information specified therein as being
available for review by investors) to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; but only if and to the
extent that (i) any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is with
respect to information regarding the Mortgage Assets contained in the Loan
Detail or, to the extent consistent therewith, the Diskette or contained in the
Term Sheet Diskette, to the extent consistent with the Term Sheet Master Tape;
or (ii) any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission is with respect to information regarding GMACCM or the Mortgage
Assets contained in the Prospectus Supplement or the Memorandum under the

"--Prepayment Protection Provided by the Mortgage Loans," "--Payment Terms of
the Mortgage Loans," "Risk
2
Factors" and/or "Description of the Mortgage Assets" or contained on Annex A to
the Prospectus Supplement (exclusive of the Loan Detail), and such information
does not represent a restatement or aggregation of information contained in the
Loan Detail; or (iii) such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission
or alleged omission arises out of or is based upon a breach of the
representations and warranties of GMACCM set forth in or made pursuant to
Section 2(a) of each of the Supplement Agreements; provided that the
indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall not apply to the extent that
such untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, was made as a result of an error in the
manipulation of, or calculations based upon, the Loan Detail. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which GMACCM may otherwise have.
For purposes of the foregoing, "Registration Statement" shall mean the
registration statement No. 333-74299 filed by the Depositor on Form S-3,
including without limitation exhibits thereto and information incorporated
therein by reference; "Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus dated July 31,
2000, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated August 8, 2000 (the
"Prospectus Supplement"), relating to the Registered Certificates; "Memorandum"
shall mean the private placement memorandum dated August 17, 2000, relating to
the Non-Registered Certificates; "Computational Materials" shall have the
meaning assigned thereto in the no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by
the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Acceptance Corporation I, Xxxxxx, Peabody
& Co. Incorporated, and Xxxxxx Structured Asset Corporation and the no-action
letter dated May 27, 1994 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the
Commission to the Public Securities Association (together, the "Xxxxxx
Letters"); and "ABS Term Sheets" shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the
no-action letter dated February 17, 1995 issued by the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter"
and, together with the Xxxxxx Letters, the "No-Action Letters"). The mortgage
loan and related information contained on the diskette attached to any ABS Term
Sheets or Computational Materials is referred to herein as the "Term Sheet
Diskette" and the tape provided by GMACCM that was used to create the Term Sheet
Diskette is referred to herein as the "Term Sheet Master Tape." References
herein to ABS Term Sheets or Computational Materials shall include any Term
Sheet Diskette provided therewith.
(b) Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification
under this Section 1 (each, an "indemnified party") of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against GMACCM (the "indemnifying party") under this
Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 1. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may
elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them
and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those
available to
3
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the
indemnified party of counsel, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel
in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the
proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel, approved by the Depositor and the indemnifying party,
representing all the indemnified parties under Section 1(a) who are parties to
such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or
(iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the
indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if
clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall only be in respect of
the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is due in
accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be
unavailable to an indemnified party on grounds of policy or otherwise, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying
parties in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties.
(d) The Depositor and GMACCM agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 1(c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the considerations referred to in Section 1(c) above. The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in this Section 1 shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim, except where the indemnified party is required to bear such
expenses pursuant to this Section 1, which expenses the indemnifying party shall
pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses.
If any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to
not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party that
received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party
which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
4
(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section
1 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by any indemnified
party, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
2. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in

phrases, sentences, paragraphs or Sections in this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement or
any part thereof.

5. Miscellaneous. THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND

Indemnification Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their successors and assigns and the controlling persons
referred to herein, and no other person shall have any right or obligation
hereunder. Neither this Indemnification Agreement nor any term hereof may be

discharge or termination is sought. This Indemnification Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be

same instrument. Any person into which GMACCM may be merged, consolidated or
converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which GMACCM shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of
GMACCM, shall be the successor of GMACCM, as the case may be, hereunder, without

the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
