         This Pooling and Servicing Agreement,  effective as of September 1, 2006, among RESIDENTIAL ASSET SECURITIES  CORPORATION,  as
the depositor  (together with its permitted  successors and assigns,  the  "Depositor"),  RESIDENTIAL  FUNDING  CORPORATION,  as master
servicer (together with its permitted successors and assigns,  the "Master Servicer"),  and U.S. BANK NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION,  a banking
association  organized  under the laws of the United  States,  as trustee  (together  with its permitted  successors  and assigns,  the
"Trustee").

                                                        PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

         The Depositor intends to sell mortgage  asset-backed  pass-through  certificates  (collectively,  the  "Certificates"),  to be
issued  hereunder in sixteen Classes,  which in the aggregate will evidence the entire  beneficial  ownership  interest in the Mortgage
Loans (as defined herein) and certain other related assets.

                                                                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  (exclusive of the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement)  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."  Component I of the Class R  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  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.

Regular Certificates shall be the Maturity Date.

_______________
(1)      The Class A-I,  Class A-II and Class M  Certificates  will represent  ownership of REMIC III Regular  Interests  together with
     certain rights to payments to be made from amounts  received under the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement which will be deemed made for
     federal income tax purposes outside of REMIC III by the holder of the Class SB Certificates as the owner of the Yield  Maintenance
     Agreement.
(2)      The REMIC III Regular  Interests,  ownership of which is represented  by the Class A-I,  Class A II and Class M  Certificates,
     will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus the applicable Margin,  each subject to a payment cap as described in
     the definition of "Pass-Through Rate" and the provisions for the payment of Basis Risk Shortfalls herein,  which payments will not
     be part of the entitlement of the REMIC III Regular Interests related to such Certificates.
(3)      The Class A-I,  Class A-II and Class M  Certificates  will also entitle their  holders to certain  payments from the Holder of
     the Class SB  Certificates  from amounts to which the related  REMIC III Regular  Interest is entitled  and from amounts  received
     under the Yield Maintenance Agreement, which will not be a part of their ownership of the REMIC III Regular Interests.
(4)      The Class SB Certificates will accrue interest as described in the definition of Accrued  Certificate  Interest.  The Class SB
     Certificates will not accrue interest on their Certificate  Principal Balance.  The Class SB Certificates will be comprised of two
     REMIC III Regular  Interests,  a principal only regular interest  designated REMIC III Regular Interest SB PO and an interest only
     regular interest  designated  REMIC III Regular  Interest SB IO, which will be entitled to distributions as set forth herein.  The
     rights of the Holder of the Class SB  Certificates  to payments from the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement  shall be outside and apart
     from its rights under the REMIC III Regular Interests SB IO and SB PO.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         In  consideration  of the mutual  agreements  herein  contained,  the Depositor,  the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree as
follows:

thereof immediately prior to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate for that Distribution Date.

         The amount of  Accrued  Certificate  Interest  on each  Class of  Certificates  shall be  reduced by the amount of  Prepayment
Interest  Shortfalls on the related  Mortgage Loans during the prior calendar month to the extent not covered by Compensating  Interest
pursuant to  Section 3.16,  and by Relief Act Shortfalls on the related  Mortgage  Loans during the related Due Period.  The portion of
any  Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls or Relief Act  Shortfalls  allocated to the Class A  Certificates  will be based upon the related
Senior  Percentage of all such reductions  with respect to the related  Mortgage Loans,  such  reducutions  will be allocated among the
related Class A Certificates,  on a pro-rata,  on the basis of Accrued  Certificate  Interest payable on such  Distribution Date absent
such reductions,  with the remainder of such reductions allocated among the Holders of all Classes of Class M Certificatets,  pro rata,
on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date absent such reductions.

         Accrued  Certificate  Interest for any  Distribution  Date shall further be reduced by the interest portion of Realized Losses
allocated to any Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05.

         Accrued  Certificate  Interest  shall  accrue on the  basis of a 360-day  year and the  actual  number of days in the  related
Interest Accrual Period.

Period at the related  Pass-Through  Rate on the  Uncertificated  Notional Amount as specified in the definition of Pass-Through  Rate,
immediately  prior to such  Distribution  Date,  reduced by any  interest  shortfalls  with respect to the  Mortgage  Loans,  including
Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls to the extent not covered by  Compensating  Interest  pursuant to  Section 3.16 or by Excess Cash Flow
pursuant to  Section 4.02(c)(v)  and (vi).  Accrued  Certificate  Interest on the Class SB  Certificates shall accrue on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period.

related Mortgage Note, less the rate at which the related Subservicing Fee accrues.

Distribution Date, the Certificate  Principal Balances of: (i) the Class A-I  Certificates and Class M  Certificates will be increased,

Balance of the  Mortgage  Loans over (B) the then  aggregate  Certificate  Principal  Balance of the Class A  Certificates  and Class M
Certificates then  outstanding,  which represents the sum of (i) the Initial Principal Balance of the REMIC III Regular Interest SB-PO,
as reduced by Realized Losses  allocated  thereto and payments  deemed made thereon,  and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the REMIC
III Regular  Interest SB-IO, as reduced by Realized Losses  allocated  thereto.  The Class R  Certificates  will not have a Certificate
Principal Balance.

(iii)             third, concurrently,  from the Principal Remittance Amount related to Loan Group I to the Class A-I Certificates, pro

         REMIC I Y  Principal Reduction Amounts:  For any Distribution Date the amounts by which the Uncertificated  Principal Balances
of the REMIC I Y-1 Regular  Interest and REMIC I Y-2 Regular Interest  respectively  will be reduced on such  Distribution  Date by the
allocation of Realized Losses and the distribution of principal, determined as follows:

         First, for each of Loan Group I and Loan Group II determine the related Group REMIC Net WAC Cap Rate for distributions of
interest that will be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date (the "Group Interest Rate").  The REMIC I Principal Reduction
Amount for each of the REMIC I Y Regular Interests will be determined pursuant to the "Generic solution for the REMIC I Y Regular
Interests" set forth below (the "Generic Solution") by making the following identifications among the Loan Groups and their related
REMIC I Y Regular Interests and REMIC I Z Regular Interests:

                  A.       Determine which Loan Group has the lower Group REMIC Net WAC Cap Rate.  That Loan Group will be identified
with Loan Group AA and the REMIC I Y Regular Interests and REMIC I Z Regular Interests related to that Loan Group will be
respectively identified with the REMIC I YAA and REMIC I ZAA Regular Interests.  The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be
identified with J%.  If the two Loan Groups have the same Group Interest Rate pick one for this purpose, subject to the restriction
that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A and B of this definition.

                  B.       Determine which Loan Group has the higher Group REMIC Net WAC Cap Rate.  That Loan Group will be identified
with Loan Group BB and the REMIC I Y Regular Interests and REMIC I Z Regular Interests related to that Group will be respectively
identified with the REMIC I YBB and REMIC I ZBB Regular Interests.  The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified
with K%.  If the two Loan Groups have the same Group Interest Rate the Loan Group not selected pursuant to paragraph A, above, will
be selected for purposes of this paragraph B.

         Second,  apply the  Generic  Solution  set  forth  below to  determine  the  REMIC I Y  Principal  Reduction  Amounts  for the
Distribution Date using the identifications made above.

         GENERIC  SOLUTION  FOR THE  REMIC I Y  PRINCIPAL  REDUCTION  AMOUNTS:  For any  Distribution  Date,  the  amounts by which the
Uncertificated  Principal  Balances of REMIC I YAA and REMIC I ZAA Regular Interests  respectively will be reduced on such Distribution
Date by the allocation of Realized Losses and the distribution of principal, determined as follows:

                  J% and K% represent the interest rates on Loan Group AA and Loan Group BB respectively.  J% less than K%.

         For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the meanings set forth below:

                  PJB =    the Loan Group AA Subordinate Balance after the allocation of Realized Losses and distributions of
principal on such Distribution Date.

                  PKB =    the Loan Group BB Subordinate Balance after the allocation of Realized Losses and distributions of
principal on such Distribution Date.

                  Yk =     the REMIC I YBB Principal Balance after distributions on the prior Distribution Date.

                  (DELTA)Yj =       the REMIC I YAA Principal Reduction Amount.

                  Pj =     the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC I YAA and REMIC I ZAA Regular Interests after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date, which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Group AA Loans.

                  Pk =     the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC I YBB and REMIC I ZBB Regular Interests after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date, which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Loan Group BB Mortgage Loans.

                  (DELTA)Pj =       the aggregate principal reduction resulting on such Distribution Date on the Loan Group AA
Mortgage Loans as a result of principal distributions (exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of
the definition of REMIC I Distribution Amount) to be made and Realized Losses to be allocated on such Distribution Date, if
applicable, which is equal to the aggregate of the REMIC I YAA and REMIC I ZAA Principal Reduction Amounts.

                  (DELTA)Pk=        the aggregate principal reduction resulting on such Distribution Date on the Loan Group BB
Mortgage Loans as a result of principal distributions (exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of
the definition of REMIC I Distribution Amount) to be made and realized losses to be allocated on such Distribution Date, which is
equal to the aggregate of the REMIC I YBB and REMIC I ZBB Principal Reduction Amounts.

                  (alpha) =         .0005

                  (gamma) =         (R - J%)/(K% - R).  (gamma) is a non-negative number unless its denominator is zero, in which
event it is undefined.

                  If (gamma) is zero, (DELTA)Yk = Yk and (DELTA)Yj = (Yj/Pj)(DELTA)Pj.

                  If (gamma) is undefined, (DELTA)Yj = Yj, (DELTA)Yk = (Yk/Pk)(DELTA)Pk. if denominator

                  In the remaining situations, (DELTA)Yk and (DELTA)Yj shall be defined as follows:

1.       If Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) = greater than 0, Yj- (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj) = greater than 0, and (gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) less than (Pk - (DELTA)Pk),
     (DELTA)Yk = Yk - (alpha)(gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) and (DELTA)Yj = Yj - (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj).
2.       If Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) = greater than 0, Yj - (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj) = greater than 0, and (gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) = greater than (Pk - (DELTA)Pk),

         The purpose of the foregoing  definitional  provisions  together with the related  provisions  allocating  Realized Losses and
defining the REMIC I Y and REMIC I Z Principal  Distribution  Amounts is to accomplish  the following  goals in the following  order of
priority:

1.       Making the ratio of Yk to Yj equal to (gamma) after taking account of the  allocation  Realized  Losses and the  distributions
     that will be made through end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions  relate and assuring that the Principal  Reduction
     Amount for each of the REMIC I YAA,  REMIC I YBB,  REMIC I ZAA and REMIC I ZBB Regular  Interests is greater than or equal to zero
     for such Distribution Date;

2.       Making (i) the  REMIC I  YAA  Principal  Balance  less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the  REMIC I  YAA and REMIC I ZAA
     principal  balances  and (ii) the REMIC I YBB  principal  balances  less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the REMIC I YBB and
     REMIC I ZBB Principal  Balances in each case after giving effect to allocations of Realized  Losses and  distributions  to be made
     through the end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate; and

3.       Making  the  larger  of (a) the  fraction  whose  numerator  is Yk and whose  denominator  is the sum of Yk and Zk and (b) the
     fraction whose  numerator is Yj and whose  denominator is the sum of Yj, and Zj as large as possible while  remaining less than or
     equal to 0.0005.

                  In the event of a failure of the foregoing portion of the definition of REMIC I Y Principal Reduction Amount to
accomplish both of goals 1 and 2 above, the amounts thereof should be adjusted so as to accomplish such goals within the requirement
that each REMIC I Y Principal Reduction Amount must be less than or equal to the sum of (a) the principal Realized Losses to be
allocated on the related Distribution Date for the related Pool and (b) the remainder of the Available Distribution Amount for the
related Pool or after reduction thereof by the distributions to be made on such Distribution in respect of interest on the related
REMIC I Y and REMIC I Z Regular Interests, or, if both of such goals cannot be accomplished within such requirement, such adjustment
as is necessary shall be made to accomplish goal 1 within such requirement.  In the event of any conflict among the provisions of the
definition of the REMIC I Y Principal Reduction Amounts, such conflict shall be resolved on the basis of the goals and their
priorities set forth above within the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence.

Section 1.02.     Determination of LIBOR.

         LIBOR  applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through  Rate on the LIBOR  Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period will
be determined as of each LIBOR Rate  Adjustment  Date. On each LIBOR Rate  Adjustment  Date, or if such LIBOR Rate  Adjustment  Date is
not a Business  Day,  then on the next  succeeding  Business  Day,  LIBOR shall be  established  by the Trustee and, as to any Interest
Accrual  Period,  will equal the rate for one month United States dollar  deposits that appears on the Telerate  Screen Page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m.,  London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment  Date.  "Telerate  Screen Page 3750" means the display  designated as page 3750
on the Bridge  Telerate  Service (or such other page as may replace  page 3750 on that  service  for the purpose of  displaying  London
interbank  offered  rates of major  banks).  If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace  that page on
that service,  or if such service is no longer  offered,  LIBOR shall be so  established  by use of such other  service for  displaying
LIBOR or  comparable  rates as may be  selected by the  Trustee  after  consultation  with the Master  Servicer),  the rate will be the
Reference  Bank Rate.  The  "Reference  Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which  deposits in U.S.  Dollars are
offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London  interbank  market,
selected by the Trustee after  consultation  with the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date
to prime banks in the London interbank  market for a period of one month in amounts  approximately  equal to the aggregate  Certificate
Principal  Balance of the LIBOR  Certificates  then  outstanding.  The Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the
reference  banks to provide a quotation of its rate.  If at least two such  quotations  are provided,  the rate will be the  arithmetic
mean of the  quotations  rounded  up to the next  multiple  of  1/16%.  If on such date  fewer  than two  quotations  are  provided  as
requested,  the rate will be the  arithmetic  mean of the rates  quoted by one or more major  banks in New York City,  selected  by the
Trustee after  consultation  with the Master Servicer,  as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to
leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts  approximately equal to the aggregate  Certificate Principal Balance of the
LIBOR  Certificates then outstanding.  If no such quotations can be obtained,  the rate will be LIBOR for the prior  Distribution Date;
provided  however,  if, under the priorities  described above,  LIBOR for a Distribution  Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous
Distribution Date for the third consecutive  Distribution Date, the Trustee,  shall select an alternative  comparable index (over which
the Trustee has no control),  used for determining  one-month  Eurodollar  lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise
made  available)  by an  independent  party.  The  establishment  of LIBOR by the  Trustee  on any LIBOR Rate  Adjustment  Date and the
Trustee's  subsequent  calculation of the  Pass-Through  Rates applicable to the LIBOR  Certificates for the relevant  Interest Accrual
Period,  in the absence of manifest error,  will be final and binding.  Promptly  following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee
shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of its  determination  of LIBOR on such date.  Furthermore,  the Trustee shall supply
to any Certificateholder so requesting by calling  1-800-934-6802,  the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR Certificates for the current and
the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.

ARTICLE II

                                                     CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
                                                   ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01.     Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

(a)      The  Depositor,  concurrently  with the  execution  and delivery  hereof,  does hereby assign to the Trustee in respect of the
Trust Fund  without  recourse all the right,  title and interest of the  Depositor  in and to (i) the  Mortgage  Loans,  including  all
interest and  principal on or with respect to the Mortgage  Loans due on or after the Cut-off Date (other than Monthly  Payments due in

of all present and future  Certificateholders),  (2) with respect to each MOM Loan,  deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee,  or the
Custodian,  as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for such purpose, the documents or instruments  described in clauses (i) and (v)
below,  (3) with respect to each Mortgage  Loan that is not a MOM Loan but is  registered on the MERS(R)System,  deliver to, and deposit

on the MERS(R)System,  deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee, or the Custodian,  as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for such
purpose, the documents or instruments described in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) below.

(i)      The  original  Mortgage  Note,  endorsed  without  recourse  to the order of the  Trustee  and  showing an  unbroken  chain of
endorsements  from the originator  thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee,  or with respect to any Destroyed  Mortgage Note,

misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note.

(ii)     The original Mortgage,  noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language  indicating that the Mortgage Loan is
a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan,  with evidence of recording  indicated  thereon or a copy of the original  Mortgage with
evidence of recording indicated thereon.

(iii)    The assignment  (which may be included in one or more blanket  assignments if permitted by applicable  law) of the Mortgage to
the Trustee with evidence of recording indicated thereon or a copy of such assignment with evidence of recording indicated thereon;

(iv)     The original  recorded  assignment or  assignments  of the Mortgage  showing an unbroken chain of title from the originator to
the Person  assigning it to the Trustee (or to MERS,  if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R)System and noting the presence of
a MIN) with evidence of  recordation  noted thereon or attached  thereto,  or a copy of such  assignment or assignments of the Mortgage
with evidence of recording indicated thereon.

(v)      The original of each modification,  assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement,  if any, relating to such Mortgage Loan,
or a copy of each modification, assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement.

         The Depositor  may, in lieu of delivering  the original of the documents set forth in  Section 2.01(b)(iii),  (iv) and (v) (or
copies  thereof) to the Trustee or the Custodian,  deliver such documents to the Master  Servicer,  and the Master  Servicer shall hold
such  documents  in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future  Certificateholders  until such time as is set forth in the
next  sentence.  Within  thirty  Business  Days  following  the earlier of (i) the receipt of the  original of all of the  documents or
instruments  set forth in  Section 2.01(b)(iii),  (iv) and (v) (or copies  thereof) for any Mortgage Loan and (ii) a written request by
the Trustee to deliver those  documents  with respect to any or all of the Mortgage Loans then being held by the Master  Servicer,  the
Master  Servicer  shall  deliver a complete  set of such  documents to the Trustee or the  Custodian,  as duly  appointed  agent of the
Trustee.

(c)      Notwithstanding  the provisions of  Section 2.01(b),  in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan, if the Depositor
cannot deliver the original of the Mortgage,  any assignment,  modification,  assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement (or copy
thereof as permitted by  Section 2.01(b))  with  evidence of recording  thereon  concurrently  with the  execution and delivery of this
Agreement  because of (i) a delay caused by the public  recording  office where such  Mortgage,  assignment,  modification,  assumption
agreement or  preferred  loan  agreement  as the case may be, has been  delivered  for  recordation,  or (ii) a delay in the receipt of
certain information  necessary to prepare the related assignments,  the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
or the respective Custodian a copy of such Mortgage, assignment, modification, assumption agreement or preferred loan agreement.

         The Depositor  shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate  public office for real property  records the Assignment
referred  to in clause  (iii) of  Section 2.01(b),  except (a) in states  where,  in an Opinion  of  Counsel  acceptable  to the Master
Servicer,  such  recording is not required to protect the Trustee's  interests in the Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the
Mortgage or on a properly  recorded  assignment  of the  Mortgage,  as  applicable,  as the  mortgagee of record  solely as nominee for
Residential  Funding and its successors and assigns.  If any Assignment is lost or returned  unrecorded to the Depositor because of any
defect  therein,  the  Depositor  shall  prepare a  substitute  Assignment  or cure such  defect,  as the case may be,  and cause  such
Assignment to be recorded in accordance  with this  paragraph.  The Depositor  shall  promptly  deliver or cause to be delivered to the
applicable person described in Section 2.01(b),  any Assignment or substitute  Assignment (or copy thereof) recorded in connection with
this  paragraph,  with  evidence of  recording  indicated  thereon upon receipt  thereof from the public  recording  office or from the
related Subservicer or Seller.

         If the Depositor  delivers to the Trustee or Custodian  any Mortgage  Note or  Assignment of Mortgage in blank,  the Depositor
shall,  or shall cause the Custodian to,  complete the  endorsement  of the Mortgage Note and the Assignment of Mortgage in the name of
the Trustee in conjunction with the Interim Certification issued by the Custodian, as contemplated by Section 2.02.

         In connection  with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS(R)System,  the Depositor  further agrees that it
will cause,  at the  Depositor's  own expense,  within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date,  the MERS(R)System to indicate that such
Mortgage  Loans  have been  assigned  by the  Depositor  to the  Trustee  in  accordance  with this  Agreement  for the  benefit of the
Certificateholders  by including (or deleting,  in the case of Mortgage Loans which are  repurchased in accordance with this Agreement)
in such  computer  files (a) the code in the field which  identifies  the  specific  Trustee and (b) the code in the field "Pool Field"
which  identifies the series of the Certificates  issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans.  The Depositor  further agrees that it
will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master  Servicer  agrees that it will not, alter the codes  referenced in
this paragraph  with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement  unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)      It is  intended  that  the  conveyances  by the  Depositor  to the  Trustee  of the  Mortgage  Loans as  provided  for in this
Section 2.01 and the Uncertificated  Regular Interests be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and
the Uncertificated  Regular Interests for the benefit of the  Certificateholders.  Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance
be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage  Loans and the  Uncertificated  Regular  Interests by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a
debt or other  obligation  of the  Depositor.  Nonetheless,  (a) this  Agreement  is intended to be and hereby is a security  agreement
within  the  meaning  of  Articles  8 and 9 of the New York  Uniform  Commercial  Code and the  Uniform  Commercial  Code of any  other
applicable  jurisdiction;  (b) the conveyances  provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to
the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's  right (including the power to convey title thereto),  title and interest,
whether now owned or hereafter  acquired,  in and to (A) the Mortgage  Loans,  including the related  Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,  any
insurance  policies and all other  documents in the related  Mortgage File, (B) all amounts  payable  pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof, (C) any Uncertificated  Regular Interests and any and all general intangibles,  payment intangibles,
accounts, chattel paper, instruments,  documents,  money, deposit accounts,  certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices
of credit and  investment  property and other property of whatever kind or description  now existing or hereafter  acquired  consisting
of,  arising  from or relating to any of the  foregoing,  and (D) all proceeds of the  conversion,  voluntary  or  involuntary,  of the
foregoing into cash,  instruments,  securities or other property,  including  without  limitation all amounts from time to time held or
invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial Account,  whether in the form of cash,  instruments,  securities or other property
and (2) an  assignment  by the  Depositor  to the  Trustee of any  security  interest  in any and all of  Residential  Funding's  right
(including the power to convey title  thereto),  title and interest,  whether now owned or hereafter  acquired,  in and to the property
described  in the  foregoing  clauses  (1)(A),  (B),  (C) and (D)  granted by  Residential  Funding to the  Depositor  pursuant  to the
Assignment  Agreement;  (c) the  possession by the Trustee,  the Custodian or any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage  Notes or such
other items of property as constitute instruments,  money, payment intangibles,  negotiable documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters
of credit, advices of credit,  investment property,  certificated  securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured  party," or possession by a purchaser or a person  designated by such secured  party,  for purposes of perfecting  the security
interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform  Commercial Code of any other applicable  jurisdiction as in
effect  (including,  without  limitation,  Sections 8-106,  9-313 and 9-106  thereof);  and  (d) notifications  to persons holding such
property,  and  acknowledgments,  receipts or confirmations  from persons holding such property,  shall be deemed  notifications to, or
acknowledgments,  receipts  or  confirmations  from,  securities  intermediaries,  bailees or agents of, or persons  holding  for,  (as
applicable) the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

         The Depositor and, at the Depositor's  direction,  Residential  Funding and the Trustee shall,  to the extent  consistent with
this  Agreement,  take such  reasonable  actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage  Loans and the  Uncertificated  Regular  Interests  and the other  property  described  above,  such  security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected  security  interest of first  priority  under  applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term of this  Agreement.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Depositor shall prepare and deliver to
the Trustee not less than 15 days prior to any filing date and, the Trustee  shall  forward for filing,  or shall cause to be forwarded
for filing,  at the expense of the Depositor,  all filings  necessary to maintain the  effectiveness of any original filings  necessary
under the Uniform  Commercial  Code as in effect in any  jurisdiction  to perfect  the  Trustee's  security  interest in or lien on the
Mortgage Loans and the Uncertificated Regular Interests,  as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Depositor,  including without
limitation (x)  continuation  statements,  and (y) such other  statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of Residential
Funding,  the Depositor or the Trustee (such  preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee,  if occasioned by a change
in the Trustee's  name),  (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive  office of Residential  Funding or
the Depositor,  (3) any  transfer of any interest of  Residential  Funding or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any transfer of
any interest of Residential Funding or the Depositor in any Uncertificated Regular Interests.

Section 2.02.     Acceptance by Trustee.

         The Trustee acknowledges  receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement,  and based solely upon
a receipt or certification  executed by the Custodian,  receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee)
of the documents referred to in  Section 2.01(b)(i)  above (except that for purposes of such acknowledgement  only, a Mortgage Note may
be endorsed in blank and an  Assignment  of Mortgage may be 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 the Custodian as its
agent,  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 90 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  Depositor 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(b) 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,  upon receipt of  notification  from the  Custodian as specified in the  succeeding  sentence,  the Trustee shall
promptly so notify or cause the Custodian to notify the Master  Servicer and the  Depositor.  Pursuant to  Section 2.3 of the Custodial
Agreement,  the Custodian will notify the Master Servicer,  the Depositor 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  received  by it  pursuant  to the  Custodial  Agreement.  If such
omission or defect  materially and adversely affects the interests in the related Mortgage Loan of the  Certificateholders,  the Master
Servicer  shall  promptly  notify the related  Subservicer  or Seller of such omission or defect and request that such  Subservicer  or
Seller  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 such  Subservicer or Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period,  that such  Subservicer
or Seller  purchase  such  Mortgage  Loan from the Trust Fund at its  Purchase  Price,  in either case 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 or caused to 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,  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 owner's  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 the  Subservicer or Seller or its designee,  as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan
released  pursuant  hereto and  thereafter  such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing and
Section 2.04,  if the Subservicer or Seller or Residential  Funding that  repurchases the Mortgage Loan is not a member of MERS and the
Mortgage is registered on the MERS(R)System,  the Master  Servicer,  at its own expense and without any right of  reimbursement,  shall
cause MERS to execute and deliver an  assignment  of the  Mortgage  in  recordable  form to  transfer  the  Mortgage  from MERS to such
Subservicer  or Seller or  Residential  Funding and shall cause such  Mortgage to be removed from  registration  on the MERS(R)System in
accordance  with MERS' rules and  regulations.  It is understood  and agreed that the obligation of the  Subservicer  or Seller,  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
Certificateholders.

Section 2.03.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer and the Depositor.

(a)      The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that:

(i)      The Master  Servicer is a corporation  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  Incorporation or Bylaws 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 Depositor,  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 shall 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  Depositor,  any
Affiliate of the Depositor 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;

(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; and

(x)      The Servicing Guide of the Master  Servicer  requires that the Subservicer for each Mortgage Loan accurately and fully reports
its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely manner.

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 Depositor,  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 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 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)      The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the  Certificateholders  that as of the Closing
Date (or, if otherwise  specified  below, as of the date so specified):  (i) immediately  prior to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee,  the Depositor  had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each  Mortgage  Loan free and clear of any pledge,  lien,
encumbrance or security  interest  (other than rights to servicing and related  compensation)  and such  conveyance  validly  transfers
ownership of the Mortgage  Loans to the Trustee free and clear of any pledge,  lien,  encumbrance or security  interest;  and (ii) each
Mortgage   Loan   constitutes   a   qualified   mortgage   under   Section 860G(a)(3)(A)   of  the   Code  and   Treasury   Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(a)(1).

         It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this  Section 2.03(b)  shall survive delivery
of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.

         Upon  discovery  by any of the  Depositor,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee  or the  Custodian  of a breach of any of the
representations  and  warranties  set forth in this  Section 2.03(b)  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);  provided,  however, that in the event of a breach of the representation and
warranty set forth in  Section 2.03(b)(ii),  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  Depositor  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 Depositor  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,  substitution  or
repurchase  must  occur  within 90 days from the date such  breach was  discovered.  Any such  substitution  shall be  effected  by the
Depositor 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 Depositor 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.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Depositor  shall not be
required to cure  breaches or purchase or substitute  for Mortgage  Loans as provided in this  Section 2.03(b)  if the substance of the
breach of a representation set forth above also constitutes fraud in the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.04.     Representations and Warranties of Sellers.

         The  Depositor,  as assignee of  Residential  Funding under the  Assignment  Agreement,  hereby assigns to the Trustee for the
benefit of the  Certificateholders  all of its  right,  title and  interest  in respect of the  Assignment  Agreement  applicable  to a
Mortgage  Loan as and to the  extent  set forth in the  Assignment  Agreement.  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 Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee or the Custodian of a
breach of any of the  representations  and  warranties  made in the  Assignment  Agreement  in respect of any  Mortgage  Loan or of any
Repurchase  Event 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 or  Repurchase  Event and request  that
Residential  Funding either (i) cure such breach or Repurchase  Event in all material  respects within 90 days from the date the Master
Servicer  was notified of such breach or  Repurchase  Event or  (ii) purchase  such  Mortgage  Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02.

         Upon the  discovery  by the  Depositor,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee  or the  Custodian  of a  breach  of any of such
representations  and warranties set forth in 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 of a  representation  or warranty set forth in the  Assignment  Agreement  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 within 90 days of the date of such written  notice of
such breach 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 or  substitution  must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was
discovered.  If the breach of  representation  and warranty  that gave rise to the  obligation  to  repurchase or substitute a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 4 of the  Assignment  Agreement was the  representation  and warranty set forth in clause (xlvii) of Section 4
thereof,  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
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,  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  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 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 (other than those of a statistical  nature)
contained in the Assignment  Agreement as of the date of substitution,  and the covenants,  representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 2.04, and in Section 2.03(b) hereof.

         In connection  with the  substitution  of one or more Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage  Loans for one or more Deleted  Mortgage
Loans,  the Master  Servicer  shall  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  or cause the
related  Seller  to  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 created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC 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 (and in the case of
Residential  Funding to substitute  for) such  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  representation and warranty in clause
(xlvii) of Section 4  thereof shall  constitute  the sole remedy  respecting  such breach  available to the  Certificateholders  or the
Trustee on behalf of the  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; Conveyance of REMIC-I Regular Interests.

(a)      The Trustee  acknowledges  the  assignment to it of the Mortgage  Loans and the delivery of the Custodial  Files to it, or the
Custodian on its behalf,  subject to any  exceptions  noted,  together with the  assignment  to it of all other assets  included in the
Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.  Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor,  the Trustee,  pursuant
to the written  request of the  Depositor  executed by an officer of the  Depositor,  has executed and caused to be  authenticated  and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor the  Certificates in authorized  denominations  which evidence  ownership of the entire
Trust Fund.

(b)      The Depositor,  concurrently  with the execution and delivery  hereof,  does hereby transfer,  assign,  set over and otherwise
convey in trust to the Trustee  without  recourse  all the right,  title and interest of the  Depositor  in and to the REMIC I  Regular
Interests  and the REMIC II Regular  Interests  for the benefit of the holders of the Regular  Certificates  and  Component  III of the
Class R  Certificates.  The Trustee  acknowledges  receipt of the REMIC I  Regular  Interests and REMIC II Regular  Interests  (each of
which are  uncertificated)  and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders
of the Regular  Certificates  and Component III of the Class R  Certificates.  The interests  evidenced by Component III of the Class R
Certificates, together with the Regular Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC III.

Section 2.06.     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 Depositor 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 2.06  may not be amended,  without the consent of the
Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.

Section 2.07.     Agreement Regarding Ability to Disclose.

         The Depositor,  the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree that,  notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement
to the  contrary,  any and all  Persons,  and any of their  respective  employees,  representatives,  and other  agents  may  disclose,
immediately  upon  commencement  of  discussions,  to any and all Persons,  without  limitation of any kind,  the tax treatment and tax
structure of the  transaction  and all materials of any kind  (including  opinions or other tax  analyses)  that are provided to any of
them  relating to such tax  treatment  and tax  structure.  For  purposes of this  paragraph,  the terms "tax," "tax  treatment,"  "tax
structure," and "tax benefit" are defined under Treasury Regulationss.1.6011-4(c).

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,  following such procedures as it would employ in its good faith business  judgment and which are normal and
usual in its general mortgage servicing  activities,  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 is  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(R)System,  it becomes  necessary to remove any Mortgage  Loan from  registration  on the MERS(R)
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  as set forth in  Section 3.10(a)(ii).  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  created  hereunder  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 or other documents.  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.

         If the  Mortgage  relating  to a  Mortgage  Loan did not have a lien  senior to the  Mortgage  Loan on the  related  Mortgaged
Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the Master  Servicer,  in such capacity,  may not consent to the placing of a lien senior to that
of the  Mortgage on the related  Mortgaged  Property.  If the  Mortgage  relating to a Mortgage  Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage
Loan on the  related  Mortgaged  Property  as of the Cut-off  Date,  then the Master  Servicer,  in such  capacity,  may consent to the
refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:

                  (i)      (A)      the  Mortgagor's  debt-to-income  ratio  resulting from such  refinancing is less than the original
debt-to-income ratio as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;  provided,  however,  that in no instance shall the resulting Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio ("Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio") of such Mortgage Loan be higher than that permitted by the Program Guide; or

                           (B)      the  resulting  Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing;  provided,  however, if such refinanced mortgage loan is a "rate and term" mortgage loan
(meaning,  the Mortgagor does not receive any cash from the refinancing),  the Combined  Loan-to-Value Ratio may increase to the extent
of either (x) the reasonable closing costs of such refinancing or (y) any decrease in the value of the related Mortgaged  Property,  if
the Mortgagor is in good standing as defined by the Program Guide;

                  (ii)     the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable  rate existing  senior lien, the maximum  interest rate,
for the loan  evidencing  the refinanced  senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum  interest rate,
as the case may be, on the loan  evidencing  the existing  senior lien  immediately  prior to the date of such  refinancing;  provided,
however (A) if the loan  evidencing  the existing  senior lien prior to the date of  refinancing  has an  adjustable  rate and the loan
evidencing the refinanced  senior lien has a fixed rate, then the current  interest rate on the loan  evidencing the refinanced  senior
lien may be up to 2.0% higher than the  then-current  loan rate of the loan  evidencing  the  existing  senior lien and (B) if the loan
evidencing the existing  senior lien prior to the date of refinancing  has a fixed rate and the loan  evidencing the refinanced  senior
lien has an adjustable  rate, then the maximum  interest rate on the loan  evidencing the refinanced  senior lien shall be less than or
equal to (x) the interest rate on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien prior to the date of refinancing plus (y) 2.0%; and

                  (iii)    the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization.

(b)      The Master Servicer shall, to the extent  consistent with the servicing  standards set forth herein,  take whatever actions as
may be  necessary  to file a claim under or enforce or allow the Trustee to file a claim  under or enforce any title  insurance  policy
with respect to any Mortgage Loan including,  without  limitation,  joining in or causing any Seller or Subservicer (or any other party
in possession of any title insurance policy) to join in any claims process,  negotiations,  actions or proceedings  necessary to make a
claim under or enforce any title  insurance  policy.  Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary,  the Master Servicer
shall not (unless the  Mortgagor  is in default  with  respect to the  Mortgage  Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master
Servicer,  reasonably  foreseeable) make or permit any  modification,  waiver, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would
both  (i) effect  an exchange or  reissuance of such  Mortgage  Loan under  Section 1001  of the Code (or final,  temporary or proposed
Treasury 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 (ii) cause any REMIC formed  hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the  imposition  of any tax on  "prohibited  transactions"  or  "contributions"  after the
startup date under the REMIC Provisions.

(c)      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  customarily  provided by Persons other than
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.

(d)      All costs incurred by the Master  Servicer or by  Subservicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
properties  subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating  monthly  distributions to the  Certificateholders,
be added to the amount owing under the related  Mortgage  Loans,  notwithstanding  that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit,  and
such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by Section 3.10(a)(ii).

(e)      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.

(f)      The  relationship of the Master  Servicer (and of any successor to the Master  Servicer) to the Depositor under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(g)      The Master Servicer shall comply with the terms of Section 9 of the Assignment Agreement.

Section 3.02.     Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' 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  shall be either (i) an institution the accounts
of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of originating or servicing  mortgage  loans,  and
in either case shall be  authorized  to transact  business in the state or states in which the related  Mortgaged  Properties  it is to
service are situated,  if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the  Subservicer to perform its obligations  hereunder
and under the Subservicing  Agreement,  and in either case shall be a Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or HUD approved mortgage  servicer.  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 by,  permitted by or  consistent  with the
Program  Guide and are not  inconsistent  with this  Agreement and as the Master  Servicer and the  Subservicer  have agreed.  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,  to the extent that the  non-performance  of any such
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  and are  reimbursable
pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(vii).

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  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 Depositor 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  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)      In the event the Master  Servicer  shall for any reason no longer be the master  servicer  (including by reason of an Event of
Default),  the Trustee,  as successor  Master  Servicer,  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  or a
Subservicer may in its discretion (subject to the terms and conditions of the Assignment  Agreement)  (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 or
any Subservicer  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 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.  No such  modification  shall reduce the Mortgage Rate on a Mortgage Loan below the greater of (A) one-half
of the  Mortgage  Rate as in  effect  on the  Cut-off  Date and  (B) one-half  of the  Mortgage  Rate as in  effect on the date of such
modification,  but not less than the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate and the per annum rate at which the  Subservicing  Fee accrues.  The
final maturity date for any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended  beyond the Maturity Date.  Also,  the aggregate  principal  balance of
all Reportable  Modified  Mortgage Loans subject to Servicing  Modifications  (measured at the time of the Servicing  Modification  and
after  giving  effect to any  Servicing  Modification)  can be no more than five  percent  of the  aggregate  principal  balance of the
Mortgage  Loans as of the Cut-off Date,  provided,  that such limit may be increased  from time to time if each Rating Agency  provides
written  confirmation  that an increase in excess of that limit will not reduce the rating  assigned to any  Class of  Certificates  by
such Rating Agency below the lower of the  then-current  rating or the rating  assigned to such  Certificates as of the Closing Date by
such Rating  Agency.  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 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 purposes.  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
re-amortized  such that the Monthly  Payment is  recalculated  as an amount that will fully  amortize the remaining  principal  balance
thereof by the original maturity date based on the original Mortgage Rate;  provided,  that such reamortization  shall not be permitted
if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal income tax purposes.

(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 Monthly
Payments due before or in the month of 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 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  representation  and warranty set forth in clause  (xlvii) of Section 4 of the  Assignment
Agreement)  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; and

(v)      Any amounts required to be deposited  pursuant to  Section 3.07(c)  and any payments or collections  received in the nature of
prepayment charges.

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 Monthly
Payments due before or in the month of the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections  consisting of late payment  charges or assumption
fees may but need not be  deposited  by the Master  Servicer  in the  Custodial  Account.  In the event any amount not  required  to be
deposited in the  Custodial  Account is so  deposited,  the Master  Servicer may at any time  withdraw  such amount from the  Custodial
Account,  any provision  herein to the contrary  notwithstanding.  The  Custodial  Account may contain funds that belong to one or more
trust funds  created  for  mortgage  pass-through  certificates  of other  series and may contain  other funds  respecting  payments on
mortgage  loans  belonging  to the Master  Servicer  or serviced or master  serviced  by it on behalf of others.  Notwithstanding  such
commingling of funds,  the Master  Servicer shall keep records that  accurately  reflect the funds on deposit in the Custodial  Account
that have been  identified  by it as being  attributable  to the  Mortgage  Loans.  With  respect to  Insurance  Proceeds,  Liquidation
Proceeds,  REO Proceeds,  Subsequent  Recoveries 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.

(d)      The Master  Servicer  shall give  written  notice to the  Trustee  and the  Depositor  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
late  charges or  assumption  fees,  or payments or  collections  received in the nature of  prepayment  charges to the extent that the
Subservicer  is  entitled  to retain such  amounts  pursuant to the  Subservicing  Agreement.  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 plus the rate per annum at which the
Servicing  Fee  accrues 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.  Any amounts paid by a  Subservicer  pursuant to the  preceding  sentence  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 pursuant to
Sections 3.10(a)(iv) and (v).

(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.

         In the event that 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 itself or 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  Servicing  Fee and the  Subservicing  Fee,  if not
previously  retained)  which,  when deducted,  will result in the remaining  amount of such interest being interest at a rate per annum
equal to 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 additional  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 remitted by Subservicers as
interest in respect of Curtailments pursuant to Section 3.08(b);

(vi)     to pay to itself, a Subservicer,  a Seller,  Residential  Funding,  the Depositor 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
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;

(viii)   to  reimburse  itself  or the  Depositor  for  expenses  incurred  by and  reimbursable  to it or the  Depositor  pursuant  to
Section 3.01(a),  3.11,  3.13,  3.14(c),  6.03,  10.01 or otherwise,  or in connection with enforcing any  repurchase,  substitution or
indemnification  obligation of any Seller (other than the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor)  pursuant to the related Seller's
Agreement;

(ix)     to reimburse  itself for amounts  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,  including any payoff fees or penalties or any other  additional  amounts  payable to the Master  Servicer or Subservicer
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note.

(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  made  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 Primary Insurance Coverage.

(a)      The Master  Servicer shall not take, or permit any  Subservicer  to take,  any action which would result in noncoverage  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 at  origination  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 Master Servicer
had knowledge of such Primary  Insurance  Policy.  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 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 fire  insurance with extended  coverage in an amount
which is equal to the  lesser of the  principal  balance  owing on such  Mortgage  Loan  (together  with the  principal  balance of any
mortgage loan secured by a lien that is senior to the Mortgage  Loan) or 100% 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, 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  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 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).

         In the event that 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 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 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,  whichever is greater,
with respect to the Master  Servicer if the Master  Servicer were  servicing  and  administering  the Mortgage  Loans for Fannie Mae or
Freddie  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 Depositor.  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 or related  Subservicer'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 both constitute a "significant
modification"  effecting an exchange or  reissuance  of such  Mortgage  Loan under the Code (or final,  temporary or proposed  Treasury
regulations  promulgated  thereunder)  and  cause any  REMIC created  hereunder  to fail to  qualify  as a REMIC  under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited  transactions" or  "contributions"  after the Startup 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 (or,  with respect to any junior lien, a junior lien of the same  priority in relation to any senior
lien on such Mortgage Loan) 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,  the
buyer/transferee  of the  Mortgaged  Property  would be  qualified to assume the Mortgage  Loan based on  generally  comparable  credit
quality and such release will not (based on the Master Servicer's or related  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 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 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
related 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 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 REMIC created  hereunder
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  Date would be imposed on any REMIC  created  hereunder  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  Mortgage  Loan is  secured  by  Mortgaged  Property  located  in a  jurisdiction  in which an
assignment in lieu of  satisfaction  is required to preserve lien  priority,  minimize or avoid mortgage  recording  taxes or otherwise
comply with, or facilitate a refinancing  under,  the laws of such  jurisdiction;  (ii) that the substance of the assignment is, and is
intended to be, a refinancing  of such Mortgage Loan and that the form of the  transaction  is solely to comply with, or facilitate the
transaction  under,  such local laws; (iii) that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed  assignment will have a rate of interest more
than the  greater of (A) 3% and (B) 5% of the annual  yield of the  unmodified  Mortgage  Loan,  below or above the rate of interest on
such  Mortgage  Loan prior to such  proposed  assignment;  and (iv) 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 or action, 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 or action 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  correction of any default on a
related senior mortgage loan, 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  and 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 its funds so expended  pursuant to Section 3.10.  In
addition,  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 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)      In the event that 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)      In the event that 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 each REMIC
created  hereunder  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  created  hereunder  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  any REMIC  created  hereunder  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 (other than Subsequent  Recoveries)  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 in the related Due Period 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 Servicing Fees and Subservicing  Fees payable  therefrom (and the Master Servicer 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 shall 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  shall  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 the form attached hereto as Exhibit G,  or, in the case of a Custodian,  an electronic request in a form acceptable to
the Custodian,  requesting  delivery to it of the Custodial File.  Upon receipt of such  certification  and request,  the Trustee shall
promptly  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,  including any applicable UCC termination  statements.  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 the form attached as Exhibit G
hereto,  or, in the case of a 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 the Trustee's  receipt of notification  from the Master Servicer of the 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
shall 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 Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee considered to
be accrued but unpaid.

(b)      Additional  servicing  compensation in the form of 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.  Prepayment  charges shall be deposited into the Certificate  Account and shall be paid
on each Distribution Date to the holders of the Class SB Certificates.

(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 the  Custodian)  and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.10 and 3.14.

(d)      The  Master  Servicer's  right to  receive  servicing  compensation  may not be  transferred  in whole  or in part  except  in
connection with the transfer of all of its responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

(e)      Notwithstanding  clauses (a) and (b) above,  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 the
amount of  Compensating  Interest (if any) for such  Distribution  Date used to cover  Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls  as provided in
Section 3.16(f)  below. Such reduction shall be applied during such period as follows:  first, to any Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee
to which the Master  Servicer is entitled  pursuant  to  Section 3.10(a)(iii);  and  second,  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(c),  respectively.  In making such  reduction,  the Master  Servicer  shall not withdraw  from the  Custodial
Account any such amount  representing  all or a portion of the Servicing Fee to which it is entitled  pursuant to  Section 3.10(a)(iii)
and shall 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(c).

(f)      With respect to any  Distribution  Date,  Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans will be covered first, by the
Master Servicer, but only to the extent such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls do not exceed Eligible Master Servicing Compensation.

(g)      With respect to any  Distribution  Date,  Compensating  Interest  derived  from a particular  Loan Group shall be used on such
Distribution Date to cover any Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls in such Loan Group and then to cover any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
on the other Loan Group, in the same manner and priority as Excess Cash Flow would cover such shortfalls pursuant to Section 4.02.

Section 3.17.     Reports to the Trustee and the Depositor.

         Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written  request from the Trustee or the Depositor,  the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Trustee and the  Depositor a statement,  certified by a Servicing  Officer,  setting  forth the status of the  Custodial
Account as of the close of business on such 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  shall  deliver to the Depositor 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  Depositor'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 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  Depositor'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 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 Depositor  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.     Right of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.

         The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee,  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 Depositor 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  Depositor  or  Residential  Funding.  The  Depositor  may enforce the  obligation  of the Master  Servicer
hereunder  and may,  but it 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 Depositor or its  designee.  Neither the Depositor nor the
Trustee shall have the  responsibility  or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and they are not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 3.21.     [Reserved].

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 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).

         (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  Depositor  nor the  Trustee  shall  have any duty or
liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement  Amount,  nor shall the Depositor or the Trustee have any responsibility
to track or monitor the  administration of the Advance Facility and the Depositor shall not 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 and reasonably  satisfactory
to the Trustee  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,  and such other  documents  in
connection  with such Advance  Facility as may be reasonably  requested from time to time by any Advancing  Person or Advance  Facility
Trustee and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

         (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  Depositor  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 delivery of an Opinion of Counsel as required  under  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 Depositor,  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.

Section 4.01.     Certificate Account.

(a)      The Master  Servicer  acting as agent of 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

amount equal to the sum of (A) the  aggregate  amount of Monthly  Payments  other than Balloon  Payments  (with each  interest  portion
thereof  adjusted to a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate),  less the amount of any related  Servicing  Modifications,  Debt
Service  Reductions or Relief Act Shortfalls,  on the Outstanding  Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date in the related Due Period,
which  Monthly  Payments  were due during  the  related  Due Period and not  received  as of the close of  business  as of the  related
Determination  Date;  provided  that no Advance  shall be made if it would be a  Nonrecoverable  Advance  and (B) with  respect to each
Balloon Loan  delinquent  in respect of its Balloon  Payment as of the close of business on the related  Determination  Date, an amount
equal to the assumed Monthly Payment (with each interest  portion thereof  adjusted to a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate)
that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original  amortization  schedule for such Balloon Loan until such Balloon
Loan is finally  liquidated,  over any payments of interest or principal (with each interest  portion  thereof  adjusted to a per annum
rate equal to the Net Mortgage  Rate)  received  from the related  Mortgagor  as of the close of business on the related  Determination
Date and  allocable to the Due Date during the related Due Period for each month until such Balloon  Loan is finally  liquidated,  (ii)
withdraw  from amounts on deposit in the  Custodial  Account and remit to the Trustee for 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 clauses (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 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 a certificate of a Servicing  Officer  delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.  In the event that 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(b) into the Certificate Account.

Section 4.05.     Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a)      Prior to each  Distribution  Date,  the Master  Servicer  shall  determine the total amount of Realized  Losses,  if any, that
resulted from any Cash  Liquidation,  Servicing  Modifications,  Debt Service  Reduction,  Deficient  Valuation or REO Disposition that
occurred  during the related  Prepayment  Period or, in the case of a  Servicing  Modification  that  constitutes  a  reduction  of the
interest  rate on a Mortgage  Loan,  the amount of the  reduction  in the interest  portion of the Monthly  Payment due in the month in
which such Distribution Date occurs.  The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate.

(b)      All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:

(i)      first, to Excess Cash Flow in the amounts and priority as provided in Section 4.02;

(ii)     second, in reduction of the Overcollateralization Amount, until such amount has been reduced to zero;

(iii)    third, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(iv)     fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(v)      fifth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(vi)     sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(vii)    seventh, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(viii)   eighth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(ix)     ninth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(x)      tenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(xi)     eleventh, to the Class M-1  Certificates,  until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
                          and

(xii)    twelfth, for losses on the Group I Loans, to the Class A-I-1,  Class A-I-2,  Class A-I-3 and Class A-I-4 Certificates on a pro
                          rata  basis,  based on their  then  outstanding  Certificate  Principal  Balances  prior to giving  effect to
                          distributions to be made on such  Distribution  Date, until the aggregate  Certificate  Principal  Balance of
                          each  such  Class has  been  reduced  to zero  and for  losses  on the  Group II  Loans,  to the  Class  A-II
                          Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

(c)      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 in
the case of an interest  portion of a Realized  Loss.  Any  allocation  of the  principal  portion of Realized  Losses (other than Debt
Service  Reductions) to the Class A  Certificates or Class M  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.  Allocations  of the interest  portions of Realized  Losses  (other than any  interest  rate  reduction
resulting  from a Servicing  Modification)  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).
Allocations of the principal  portion of Debt Service  Reductions  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.

(d)      All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each  Distribution  Date to the REMIC I  Regular  Interests as
provided in the definition of REMIC I Realized Losses.

(e)      All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each  Distribution  Date to the REMIC II Regular  Interests as
provided in the definition of REMIC II Realized Losses.

(f)      Realized Losses allocated to the Excess Cash Flow or the  Overcollateralization  Amount pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section, the definition of Accrued Certificate  Interest and the operation of Section 4.02(c)  shall be deemed allocated to the
Class SB  Certificates.  Realized Losses  allocated to the Class SB  Certificates  shall, to the extent such Realized Losses  represent
Realized Losses on an interest portion,  be allocated to the REMIC III Regular Interest SB-IO.  Realized Losses allocated to the Excess
Cash Flow pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be deemed to reduce  Accrued  Certificate  Interest on the REMIC III  Regular
Interest  SB-IO.  Realized  Losses  allocated to the  Overcollateralization  Amount  pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be
deemed first to reduce the principal  balance of the REMIC III  Regular  Interest  SB-PO until such  principal  balance shall have been
reduced to zero and thereafter to reduce accrued and unpaid interest on the REMIC III Regular Interest SB-IO.

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  interest
received in a trade or business,  the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the informational  returns
relating to cancellation of indebtedness  income with respect to any Mortgaged  Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of
the Code,  respectively,  and deliver to the Trustee an Officers'  Certificate  on or before March 31 of each year,  beginning with the
first March 31 that occurs at least six months after the Cut-off  Date,  stating that such reports have been filed.  Such reports shall
be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 4.07.     Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a)      With respect to any Mortgage Loan which 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 is 90 days or more
delinquent at the time of repurchase.

(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.

Section 4.08.     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 4.08 shall in no event be payable by the Trustee.

Section 4.09.     Derivative Contracts.

(a)      The Trustee  shall,  at the written  direction  of the Master  Servicer,  on behalf of the Trust Fund,  enter into  Derivative
Contracts,  solely for the  benefit of the Class SB  Certificates.  Any such  Derivative  Contract  shall  constitute  a fully  prepaid
agreement.  The Master Servicer shall determine,  in its sole discretion,  whether any Derivative Contract conforms to the requirements
of clauses (b) and (c) of this  Section  4.09.  Any  acquisition  of a  Derivative  Contract  shall be  accompanied  by an  appropriate
amendment to this  Agreement,  including an Opinion of Counsel,  as provided in Section 11.01,  and either (i) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the existence of the Derivative  Contract will not adversely  affect the  availability of the exemptive relief afforded
under ERISA by U.S.  Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction  Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487
(Aug. 22, 2002),  to the Holders of the Class A Certificates  or the Class M  Certificates,  as of the date the Derivative  Contract is
acquired by the Trustee;  or (ii) the consent of each holder of a Class A Certificate  or Class M  Certificate  to the  acquisition  of
such  Derivative  Contract.  All  collections,  proceeds  and other  amounts  in  respect of the  Derivative  Contracts  payable by the
Derivative  Counterparty  shall be distributed to the Class SB Certificates on the Distribution  Date following  receipt thereof by the
Trustee.  In no event shall such an instrument  constitute a part of 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 SB Certificates on such Distribution Date.

(c)      Each Derivative Contract must (i) provide for the direct payment of any amounts by the Derivative  Counterparty  thereunder to
the  Certificate  Account at least one Business Day prior to the related  Distribution  Date,  (ii) contain an assignment of all of the
Trust Fund's rights (but none of its  obligations)  under such  Derivative  Contract to the Trustee on behalf the Class SB Certificates
and shall  include an express  consent of the  Derivative  Counterparty  to such  assignment,  (iii)  provide  that in the event of the
occurrence of an Event of Default,  such Derivative  Contract shall terminate upon the direction of a majority  Percentage  Interest of
the Class SB Certificates,  and (iv) prohibit the Derivative  Counterparty  from  "setting-off"  or "netting" other  obligations of the
Trust Fund and its Affiliates against such Derivative Counterparty's payment obligations thereunder.

Section 4.10.     Yield Maintenance Agreement.

(a)      In the event that the Trustee does not receive by the Business Day  preceding a  Distribution  Date the amount as specified by
the Master  Servicer  pursuant to  Section 4.04(a)(iv)  hereof as the amount to be paid with respect to such  Distribution  Date by the
Yield  Maintenance  Agreement  Provider under the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement,  the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Yield
Maintenance  Agreement  Provider  thereunder.  The parties hereto  acknowledge that the Yield Maintenance  Agreement  Provider shall be
making all  calculations,  and determine the amounts to be paid,  under the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement.  Absent manifest error,  the
Trustee may conclusively  rely on such  calculations and  determination and any notice received by it from the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 4.04(a)(iv) hereof.

(b)      The Trustee  shall  deposit or cause to be  deposited  any amount  received  under the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement  into the
Certificate  Account on the date such amount is received from the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement  Provider  under the Yield  Maintenance
Agreement (including  termination  payments,  if any). All payments received under the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be distributed
in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(c) hereof.

(c)      In the event that the Yield Maintenance  Agreement,  or any replacement thereof,  terminates prior to the Distribution Date in
September  2011,  the Master  Servicer,  but at no expense to the Master  Servicer,  on behalf of the  Trustee,  to the extent that the
termination  value under the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement is  sufficient  therefor and only to the extent of the  termination  payment
received from the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement  Provider,  shall (i) cause a new yield  maintenance  agreement  provider to assume the
obligations of such terminated yield maintenance  agreement provider or (ii) cause a new yield maintenance  agreement provider to enter
into a new  yield  maintenance  agreement  with the  Trust  Fund  having  substantially  similar  terms as those set forth in the Yield
Maintenance Agreement.

                                                           THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.01.     The Certificates.

(a)      The Class A Certificates,  Class M Certificates,  Class SB Certificates and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the
forms set forth in Exhibits A, B, C and D,  respectively,  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 Depositor  upon receipt by the Trustee or the
Custodian of the documents  specified in Section 2.01.  Each Class of Class A  Certificates and the Class M-1  Certificates,  Class M-2
Certificates and Class M-3  Certificates shall be issuable in minimum dollar  denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in
excess  thereof.  The Class M-4  Certificates,  Class M-5  Certificates,  Class M-6  Certificates,  Class M-7  Certificates,  Class M-8
Certificates and Class M-9  Certificates shall be issuable in minimum dollar  denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1 in
excess  thereof.  The Class SB  Certificates  shall be issuable in registered,  certificated  form in minimum  percentage  interests of
5.00% and integral  multiples of 0.01% in excess thereof.  The Class R  Certificates  shall be issued in registered,  certificated form
in minimum  percentage  interests of 20.00% and integral  multiples of 0.01% in excess  thereof;  provided,  however,  that one Class R
Certificate  of each  Class will be issuable to the REMIC  Administrator  as "tax matters  person"  pursuant to  Section 10.01(c)  in a
minimum  denomination  representing  a  Percentage  Interest of not less than 0.01%.  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)      The Class A  Certificates and Class M  Certificates  shall initially be issued as one or more  Certificates  registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below,  registration of such  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 Certificate  Owners shall hold their  respective  Ownership  Interests in and to each Class A  Certificate and
Class M  Certificate  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  Depositor  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  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 with respect to any Book-Entry  Certificate  (i)(A) the Depositor  advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no
longer willing or able to properly  discharge its  responsibilities  as Depository with respect to such Book-Entry  Certificate and (B)
the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified  successor,  or (ii) (A) the Depositor at its option  advises the Trustee in writing that
it elects to terminate the  book-entry  system for such  Book-Entry  Certificate  through the Depository and (B) upon receipt of notice
from the Depository of the  Depositor's  election to terminate the book-entry  system for such Book-Entry  Certificate,  the Depository
Participants  holding  beneficial  interests in such  Book-Entry  Certificates  agree to initiate such  termination,  the Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry  Certificate,  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 issue 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  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 to 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 amount of the Definitive Certificates.

         None of the  Depositor,  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  this  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)      Each of the Certificates is intended to be a "security"  governed by Article 8 of the Uniform  Commercial Code as in effect in
the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction, to the extent that any of such laws may be applicable.

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 SB  Certificate  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 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 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 SB  Certificate or 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
(the "1933 Act"),  and any  applicable  state  securities  laws or is made in  accordance  with said Act and laws.  Except as otherwise
provided in this  Section 5.02(d),  in the event that a transfer of a Class SB  Certificate  or Class R  Certificate is to be made, (i)
unless the Depositor directs the Trustee  otherwise,  the Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel  acceptable to and in form
and substance  satisfactory  to the Trustee and the Depositor  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 Trust Fund,  the  Depositor or the Master  Servicer,  and (ii) the Trustee  shall
require the  transferee  to execute a  representation  letter,  substantially  in the form of Exhibit I  hereto,  and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation  letter,  substantially in the form of Exhibit J  hereto,  each acceptable to and in
form and substance  satisfactory  to the Depositor  and the Trustee  certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts  surrounding
such  transfer,  which  representation  letters  shall not be an expense of the Trustee,  the Trust Fund,  the  Depositor or the Master
Servicer.  In  lieu  of the  requirements  set  forth  in the  preceding  sentence,  transfers  of  Class SB  Certificates  or  Class R
Certificates  may be made in accordance  with this  Section 5.02(d)  if the prospective  transferee of such a Certificate  provides the
Trustee and the Master Servicer with an investment  letter  substantially in the form of Exhibit N  attached  hereto,  which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee,  the Depositor,  or the Master Servicer,  and which investment letter states that, among
other things, such transferee (i) 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 (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends
to rely on the  exemption  from  registration  requirements  under  the 1933 Act  provided  by Rule  144A.  The  Holder  of a  Class SB
Certificate or Class R  Certificate  desiring to effect any transfer,  sale, pledge or other  disposition  shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee,  the Depositor,  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 and
this Agreement.

(e)      (i) In the case of any Class SB  Certificate  or Class R  Certificate  presented for  registration  in the name of any Person,
either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel  acceptable to and in form and substance  satisfactory  to the Trustee,  the
Depositor and the Master  Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class SB  Certificate  or Class R  Certificate is
permissible  under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  under Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable  provisions of any subsequent  enactments),  and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor
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 Depositor or
the Master  Servicer,  or (B) the  prospective  transferee  shall be required  to provide the  Trustee,  the  Depositor  and the Master
Servicer with a  certification  to the effect set forth in Exhibit P (with respect to a Class SB  Certificate) or in paragraph  fifteen
of Exhibit H-1 (with respect to a Class R  Certificate),  which the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation,  or
such other  certifications  as the Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such  transferee or the Person in
whose name such  registration  is requested  is not an employee  benefit plan or other plan or  arrangement  subject to the  prohibited
transaction  provisions of ERISA or  Section 4975  of the Code, or any Person  (including  an insurance  company  investing its general
accounts,  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 of the foregoing, a "Plan Investor").

                  (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 U.S.  Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction  Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended by
PTE 2002-41,  67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (Aug. 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 Fitch,  Standard & Poor's or Moody's or (c) (x) such  Transferee  is an insurance  company,  (y) the source of
funds used to purchase or hold such  Certificate  (or  interest  therein) is an  "insurance  company  general  account"  (as defined in
Prohibited  Transaction  Class Exemption  ("PTCE")  95-60),  and (z) 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").

                  (iii)    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 (x) is not a Plan Investor,
(y) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption or (z) 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.

                  (iv)     Any  purported  Certificate  Owner  whose  acquisition  or  holding of any Class SB  Certificate  or 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 Depositor,  the Trustee,  the Master Servicer,  any  Subservicer,  any underwriter 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 H-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 H-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 H-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 H-2  and all of such other
documents  as shall have been  reasonably  required  by the  Trustee as a  condition  to such  registration.  Transfers  of the Class R
Certificates  to  Non-United  States  Persons  and  Disqualified  Organizations  (as  defined  in  Section 860E(e)(5)  of the Code) are
prohibited.

(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,  will 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.

(iii)    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.

(iv)     The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause (iv) 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 the Class A  Certificates or Class M
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)      a  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 REMIC created  hereunder to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any REMIC created  hereunder 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 Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name 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 Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee,  the  Certificate  Registrar nor any agent of the
Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee 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  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  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  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 will hold all sums held by it for the  payment to  Certificateholders  in trust for the benefit of
the  Certificateholders  entitled  thereto  until such sums shall be paid 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.

ARTICLE VI

                                                 THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER

Section 6.01.     Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

         The  Depositor 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 Depositor and the Master  Servicer  herein.  By way of illustration
and not limitation,  the Depositor 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 Depositor or the Master Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties by
                           Master Servicer.

(a)      The Depositor 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 will each obtain and  preserve  its  qualification  to do business as a foreign
corporation 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  Depositor 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 Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or any Person  succeeding  to the business of the  Depositor or the Master  Servicer,  shall be the  successor of the  Depositor 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 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; and
provided  further that the Master  Servicer  (or the  Depositor,  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 Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, is reasonably  satisfactory  to
the Trustee and the  Depositor,  is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an
agreement,  in form and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Depositor  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  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.

(d)      Notwithstanding  anything else in this Section 6.02 to the contrary,  the conversion of Residential  Funding  Corporation's or
Residential Asset Securities  Corporation's  organizational  structure from a Delaware corporation to a limited liability company shall
not require the consent of any party or notice to any party and shall not in any way affect the rights or  obligations  of  Residential
Funding Corporation or Residential Asset Securities Corporation hereunder.

Section 6.03.     Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others.

         None of the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer or any of the directors,  officers,  employees or agents of the Depositor 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  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer  or any such Person  against  any breach of  warranties,  representations  or
covenants  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 Depositor,  the
Master  Servicer and any director,  officer,  employee or agent of the  Depositor 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
Depositor,  the Master  Servicer  and any  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the  Depositor  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  Depositor  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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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.     Depositor and Master Servicer Not to Resign.

         Subject to the  provisions of  Section 6.02,  neither the Depositor 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 Depositor or the Master  Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel  (at the expense of the  resigning  party) 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.

                                                                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  distribute  or cause to be  distributed  to 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 either 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  Depositor or to
         the Master  Servicer,  the  Depositor  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  Depositor,  or to the Master  Servicer,  the
         Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of  Certificates  of any  Class evidencing,  as to 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 Depositor or the Trustee shall at the direction of Holders of
Certificates  entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights by notice in writing to the Master  Servicer (and to the Depositor if given
by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the  Depositor),  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;
provided,  however,  that a successor to the Master Servicer is appointed  pursuant to Section 7.02  and such successor Master Servicer
shall have  accepted the duties of Master  Servicer  effective  upon the  resignation  of the Master  Servicer.  If an Event of Default
described  in clause (vi) hereof shall occur,  the Trustee  shall,  by notice to the Master  Servicer  and the  Depositor,  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 (or its designee) as successor  Master Servicer 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),  (vi) and (vii) as
well as its Servicing Fee in respect thereof,  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 Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, a copy of the Program Guide.

Section 7.02.     Trustee or Depositor 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 Depositor and with the  Depositor'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 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(c) 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 successor
Master  Servicer.  As compensation  therefor,  the Trustee as successor  Master Servicer 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 Fannie Mae or Freddie  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 Depositor,  the Trustee,
the Custodian and such successor shall take such action,  consistent with this Agreement,  as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.  Any successor Master Servicer  appointed  pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall not receive a Servicing Fee with respect any
Mortgage Loan not directly  serviced by the Master Servicer on which the  Subservicing Fee (i) accrues at a rate of less than 0.50% per
annum and (ii) has to be  increased  to a rate of 0.50% per annum in order to hire a  Subservicer.  The Master  Servicer  shall pay the
reasonable expenses of the Trustee in connection with any servicing transfer 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 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 as provided in Section 7.04 hereof.

Section 7.04.     Waiver of Events of Default.

         The  Holders  representing  at least 66% of the  Voting  Rights of  Certificates  affected  by a default  or Event of  Default
hereunder  may waive any 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),  (ii) or
(III). Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders  representing the requisite  percentage of Voting Rights of
Certificates  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 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,
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 each REMIC created
hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and (subject to  Section 10.01(f))  to prevent the imposition of any federal,  state or
local  income,  prohibited  transaction,  contribution  or other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that  maintaining  such status and
avoiding  such taxes are  reasonably  within the control of the Trustee and are  reasonably  within the scope of its duties  under this
Agreement.

(c)      No provision of this  Agreement  shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from  liability for its own negligent  action,  its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)      Prior to the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have
         occurred,  the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined  solely by the express  provisions of this Agreement,
         the Trustee shall not be liable except for the  performance of such duties and  obligations as are  specifically  set forth in
         this  Agreement,  no implied  covenants  or  obligations  shall be read into this  Agreement  against the Trustee  and, in the
         absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,  the Trustee may  conclusively  rely, as to the truth of the  statements  and
         the  correctness  of the  opinions  expressed  therein,  upon any  certificates  or opinions  furnished  to the Trustee by the
         Depositor 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 the  Certificateholders  holding  Certificates which evidence,  Percentage Interests
         aggregating  not less than 25% of the affected  Classes as to the time,  method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
         remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;

(iv)     The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default  (other than a default in payment to the Trustee)  specified in
         clauses (i) and (ii) of  Section 7.01  or an Event of Default  under  clauses  (iii),  (iv) and (v) of  Section 7.01  unless a
         Responsible  Officer of the Trustee  assigned to and working in the Corporate  Trust Office obtains  actual  knowledge of such
         failure or event or the Trustee  receives  written  notice of such  failure or event at its  Corporate  Trust  Office from the
         Master Servicer, the Depositor or any Certificateholder; and

(v)      Except to the extent  provided in  Section 7.02,  no provision in this  Agreement  shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
         its own funds (including,  without limitation,  the making of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability
         in the  performance  of any of its duties as Trustee  hereunder,  or in the  exercise  of any of its rights or powers,  if the
         Trustee  shall have  reasonable  grounds for  believing  that  repayment of funds or adequate  indemnity  against such risk or
         liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d)      The Trustee  shall timely pay,  from its own funds,  the amount of any and all federal,  state and local taxes  imposed on the
Trust Fund or its assets or  transactions  including,  without  limitation,  (A) "prohibited  transaction"  penalty taxes as defined in
Section 860F  of the Code,  if,  when and as the same  shall be due and  payable,  (B) any tax on  contributions  to a REMIC  after the
Closing  Date  imposed  by  Section 860G(d)  of the Code and (C) any tax on "net  income  from  foreclosure  property"  as  defined  in
Section 860G(c)  of the Code, but only if such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its  obligations  hereunder,  which breach
constitutes negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

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),  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 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 to do so by the 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 provided that the Trustee shall remain liable for any acts of such 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  (and except as provided for in  Section 2.04),  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 REMIC created  hereunder 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  Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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 shall 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 its part,  arising out of, or in connection  with,  the acceptance and
administration  of the Trust Fund,  including its  obligation to execute the DTC Letter in its individual  capacity,  and 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 Yield Maintenance Agreement, 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 pertain to 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
Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.06.     Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

         The Trustee  hereunder  shall at all times be a national  banking  association  or a New York banking  corporation  having its
principal  office in a state and city  acceptable to the Depositor 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 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state  authority.  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 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
Depositor and the Master  Servicer.  Upon  receiving  such notice of  resignation,  the Depositor  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,  then 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 Depositor,  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  Depositor  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
Depositor  determines  that the  Trustee has failed (i) to  distribute  or cause to be  distributed  to  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 Depositor) 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 Depositor,  then the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor,  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 Depositor 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 Depositor, 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 Depositor  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
Depositor  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 Depositor.

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  Depositor,  or shall,  at the  direction  of the Master
Servicer and the  Depositor,  appoint  custodians  who are not  Affiliates  of the  Depositor  or the Master  Servicer to hold all or a
portion of the Custodial  Files as agent for the Trustee,  by entering into a Custodial  Agreement.  The Trustee is hereby  directed to
enter into a Custodial  Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 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 shall maintain an office or agency in the City of St. Paul,  Minnesota where  Certificates  may be surrendered for
registration  of transfer or exchange.  The Trustee  initially  designates  its offices  located at the Corporate  Trust Office for the
purpose of keeping the  Certificate  Register.  The Trustee shall maintain an office at the address stated in  Section 11.05(c)  hereof
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of this Agreement may be served.

Section 8.13.     DTC Letter of Representations.

         The Trustee is hereby  authorized and directed to, and agrees that it shall,  enter into the DTC Letter on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in its individual capacity as agent thereunder.

Section 8.14.     Yield Maintenance Agreement.

         The Trustee is hereby  authorized  and directed to, and agrees that it shall,  enter into the Yield  Maintenance  Agreement on

ARTICLE IX

                                                              TERMINATION

Section 9.01.     Termination Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

(a)      Subject to  Section 9.02,  the respective  obligations  and  responsibilities  of the Depositor,  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 Depositor 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)     at the option of the  Master  Servicer,  the  purchase  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) (and if such purchase is made by the Master Servicer only, 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 Joseph P. Kennedy,  the late  ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James,  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 REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC.

         The  purchase  price paid by the Master  Servicer  pursuant to  Section 9.01(a)(ii)  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  representation  and warranty set forth in clause  (xlvii) of Section 4 of the  Assignment
Agreement that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase.

         The right of the Master  Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned  upon the
date of such  purchase  occurring on or after the Optional  Termination  Date. 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 being  purchased.  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 or after the Optional  Termination Date, the Master Servicer shall
have the right, at its option, to purchase the Class A  Certificates,  Class M Certificates and Class SB Certificates in whole, but not
in part,  at a price  equal to the sum of the  outstanding  Certificate  Principal  Balance  of such  Certificates  plus the sum of one
month's Accrued Certificate  Interest thereon, any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate  Interest,  and any unpaid Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls  previously  allocated  thereto  and,  in the case of  Prepayment  Interest  Shortfalls,  accrued  interest  thereon  at the
applicable  Pass-Through Rate through the date of such optional  termination.  If the Master Servicer  exercises this right to purchase
the outstanding Class A Certificates,  Class M Certificates and Class SB Certificates,  the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the
respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of these 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 (if it is
exercising  the right to purchase the  Mortgage  Loans or to purchase the  outstanding  Certificates),  or by the Trustee (in any other
case) by letter to the  Certificateholders  (with a copy to the  Certificate  Registrar)  mailed 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 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 that payment will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

         If the Master  Servicer or the Trustee is  obligated to give notice to  Certificateholders  as required  above,  it shall give
such notice to the  Certificate  Registrar  at the time such notice is given to  Certificateholders.  In the event of a purchase of the
Mortgage Loans by the Master  Servicer,  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 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 the  Certificate
Account,  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 provided above,  and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee.  The Trustee shall
withdraw  from such account the amount  specified in  subsection  (c) below and  distribute  such amount to the  Certificateholders  as
specified  in  subsection  (c) below.  The Master  Servicer  shall  provide to the Trustee  written  notification  of any change to the
anticipated  Final  Distribution  Date  as  soon  as  practicable.  If the  Trust  Fund  is not  terminated  on the  anticipated  Final
Distribution Date, for any reason, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

(c)      Upon  presentation  and  surrender  of the  Class A  Certificates,  Class M  Certificates  and  Class SB  Certificates  by the
Certificateholders  thereof,  the Trustee shall distribute to such  Certificateholders  (i) the amount otherwise  distributable on such
Distribution  Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's  election to repurchase the Mortgage Loans or the outstanding Class
A Certificates,  Class M Certificates and Class SB  Certificates,  or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the Mortgage
Loans or the  outstanding  Class A  Certificates,  Class M Certificates  and Class SB  Certificates,  an amount equal to the price paid
pursuant to Section 9.01(a) as follows:  first,  with respect to the Class A  Certificates,  pari passu,  the  outstanding  Certificate
Principal  Balance  thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest  thereon for the related  Interest  Accrual Period and any previously
unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,  second,  with respect to the Class M-1  Certificates,  the  outstanding  Certificate  Principal
Balance thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest,  third, with respect to the Class M-2 Certificates,  the outstanding  Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus
Accrued Certificate  Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,
fourth, with respect to the Class M-3 Certificates,  the outstanding  Certificate  Principal Balance thereof,  plus Accrued Certificate
Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,  fifth, with respect
to the Class M-4 Certificates,  the outstanding  Certificate  Principal Balance thereof,  plus Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for
the related  Interest  Accrual Period and any previously  unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,  sixth,  with respect to the Class M-5
Certificates,  the outstanding  Certificate  Principal  Balance  thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest  thereon for the related
Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate  Interest,  seventh,  with respect to the Class M-6 Certificates,
the outstanding  Certificate  Principal  Balance thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual
Period and any previously unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,  eighth,  with respect to the Class M-7 Certificates,  the outstanding
Certificate  Principal  Balance  thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest  thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any
previously  unpaid Accrued  Certificate  Interest,  ninth,  with respect to the Class M-8  Certificates,  the  outstanding  Certificate
Principal  Balance  thereof,  plus Accrued  Certificate  Interest  thereon for the related  Interest  Accrual Period and any previously
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest,  tenth, with respect to the Class M-9 Certificates,  the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
thereof,  plus  Accrued  Certificate  Interest  thereon for the related  Interest  Accrual  Period and any  previously  unpaid  Accrued
Certificate  Interest,  eleventh,  with respect to the Class A  Certificates  and Class M  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, and twelfth,  with respect to the Class SB Certificates,
all remaining amounts.

(d)      In the event that any  Certificateholders  shall not surrender  their  Certificates  for final payment and  cancellation on or
before the Final  Distribution  Date, the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) 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
Certificate Account and of contacting  Certificateholders  shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the Certificate  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
Certificate  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 and the  Certificateholders  shall look only to the Master Servicer for such
payment.

(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  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  Certificate  Account  and of  contacting  Certificateholders  shall be paid out of the  assets  which  remain  in the
Certificate  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 shall have no  further  obligation  or  liability  therefor  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  Certificate
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  Certificate
Account and notices  allocated  thereto.  Any  Certificates  so purchased or deemed to have been  purchased on such  Distribution  Date
shall remain outstanding hereunder.  The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.

Section 9.02.     Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)      Each of REMIC I,  REMIC II and REMIC III as the case may be, shall be terminated in accordance  with the following  additional
requirements,  unless 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 any  REMIC created  hereunder  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  REMIC created  hereunder 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 of REMIC I,  REMIC II and REMIC III,  and specify the
         first day of such  period in a statement  attached  to the Trust  Fund's  final Tax Return  pursuant  to Treasury  Regulations
       ss.1.860F-1.  The Master  Servicer also shall satisfy all of the  requirements  of a qualified  liquidation for each of REMIC I,
         REMIC II and REMIC III, under Section 860F of the Code and the 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 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 of REMIC I,  REMIC II and REMIC III at the expense of the Trust Fund
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

interests"  in REMIC III.  The REMIC  Administrator  and the  Trustee  shall not permit the  creation  of any  "interests"  (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in the REMIC other than the Certificates.

(b)      The Closing Date is hereby  designated as the "startup day" of each of REMIC I,  REMIC II and REMIC III  within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code (the "Startup Date").

(c)      The REMIC  Administrator  shall hold a Class R  Certificate  in each REMIC  representing  a 0.01%  Percentage  Interest of the
Class R  Certificates in each REMIC and shall be designated as the "tax matters  person" with respect to each of REMIC I,  REMIC II and
REMIC III 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 of REMIC I,  REMIC II and REMIC III 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 the REMICs  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,  if any, 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 created hereunder.

(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 thereof 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).  In  performing  their  duties as more  specifically  set forth  herein,  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  and the scope of duties  more
specifically set forth herein,  that,  under the REMIC  Provisions,  if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could  (i) endanger the
status  of any  REMIC created  hereunder  as a REMIC  or (ii)  result  in the  imposition  of a tax upon  any  REMIC created  hereunder
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited  transactions as defined in  Section 860F(a)(2)  of the Code (except as provided in
Section 2.04) 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 the Trust Fund created hereunder,  endanger such status or, unless the Master Servicer or 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 or  inaction,  as the case may
be. In  addition,  prior to taking any action  with  respect to the Trust  Fund or its  assets,  or causing  the Trust Fund to take any
action,  which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,  the Trustee shall 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 the Trust Fund and the Trustee  shall not take any such action or cause the Trust Fund 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  or the  REMIC  Administrator,  as  applicable,  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 the  REMIC 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 REMIC as defined in  Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any  contributions to any REMIC after the Startup Date therefor  pursuant to  Section 860G(d)  of the Code, or any other tax 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  in its role as Master  Servicer or REMIC  Administrator  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 on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(i)      Following  the Startup  Date,  neither the Master  Servicer nor the Trustee  shall accept any  contributions  of assets to any
REMIC  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 any REMIC will not cause
any  REMIC created  hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject any such 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  REMIC created  hereunder 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 purposes of  Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)  of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which
the principal  balance of each regular  interest in each REMIC would be reduced to zero is October 25, 2036,  which is the Distribution
Date in the month following the last scheduled payment on any Mortgage Loan.

(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
the Trust Fund.

(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 the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of
any REMIC  pursuant to  Article IX  of this  Agreement  or (iv) a purchase  of Mortgage  Loans  pursuant to  Article II  or III of this
Agreement)  or acquire  any assets for any REMIC or sell or dispose of any  investments  in the  Custodial  Account or the  Certificate
Account for gain,  or accept any  contributions  to any 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 any  REMIC created  hereunder as a
REMIC or (b) unless the Master  Servicer has determined in its sole  discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause any
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 Depositor,  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 Depositor or the
Master  Servicer,  as a result of a breach of the Trustee's  covenants set forth in Article VIII  or this Article X.  In the event that
Residential  Funding is no longer the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee  shall  indemnify  Residential  Funding  for any taxes and costs
including,  without limitation,  any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by Residential Funding 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 Depositor,  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 Depositor,
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 Depositor,  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 Depositor,
the REMIC  Administrator or the Trustee,  as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer's  covenants set forth in this Article X or in
Article III  with respect to compliance  with the REMIC  Provisions,  including  without  limitation,  any  penalties  arising from the
Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

                                                       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01.    Amendment.

(a)      This  Agreement or any Custodial  Agreement  may be amended from time to time by the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:

(i)      to cure any ambiguity,

(ii)     to correct or supplement any provisions  herein or therein,  which may be  inconsistent  with any other  provisions  herein or
         therein or to correct any error,

(iii)    to modify,  eliminate  or add to any of its  provisions  to such extent as shall be  necessary  or  desirable  to maintain the
         qualification  of any  REMIC created  hereunder 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  such  qualification  or to avoid or minimize the risk of the  imposition  of any such tax and (B) such
         action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,

(iv)     to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the  Custodial  Account or the  Certificate  Account or to change the name
         in which the Custodial  Account is maintained,  provided that (A) the  Certificate  Account  Deposit Date shall in no event be
         later than the related  Distribution Date, (B) such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,  adversely affect
         in any  material  respect the  interests of any  Certificateholder  and (C) such change shall not result in a reduction of the
         rating  assigned  to any  Class of  Certificates  below the lower of the  then-current  rating or the rating  assigned to such
         Certificates as of the Closing Date, 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 the Trust Fund provided that (A) such change shall
         not result in reduction of the rating assigned to any such Class of  Certificates  below the lower of the then-current  rating
         or the rating  assigned to such  Certificates as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such
         effect,  and (B) such change  shall not (subject to  Section 10.01(f)),  as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
         of the party seeking so to modify,  eliminate or add such provisions),  cause the Trust Fund 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, or

(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  and is
         authorized or permitted under Section 11.01.

(b)      This Agreement or any Custodial  Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,  the
Trustee and 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)     adversely  affect in any material  respect the interest of the Holders of  Certificates of any Class in a manner other than as
described in clause (i) hereof without the consent of Holders of Certificates of such  Class evidencing,  as to such Class,  Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 66%, or

(iii)    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  (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  Depositor or the Trustee in  accordance  with such
amendment  will not  result in the  imposition  of a federal  tax on the Trust  Fund or cause any  REMIC created  hereunder  to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any  Certificate is  outstanding;  provided,  that if the indemnity  described in  Section 10.01(f)
with respect to any taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given,  the Trustee  shall not require the delivery to it of
the Opinion of Counsel  described in this  Section 11.01(c).  The Trustee may but shall not be  obligated  to enter into any  amendment
pursuant to this  Section that  affects its rights,  duties and  immunities and this Agreement or otherwise;  provided,  however,  such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)      Promptly after the execution of any such  amendment the Trustee shall furnish  written  notification  of the substance of such
amendment to 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 Depositor  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 SB  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 SB
Certificateholders,  but shall not be and shall not be deemed to be under any  circumstances  included in any REMIC. 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 such REMIC,  (ii) any such reserve fund shall be owned by the Depositor,  and (iii) amounts
transferred  by such REMIC to any such  reserve  fund shall be treated as amounts  distributed  by such REMIC to the  Depositor  or any
successor,  all within the meaning of Treasury  Regulations  Section 1.860G-2(h)  in effect 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 Depositor and such related insurer 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  Certificateholders,  the Master Servicer or
the Trustee,  as  applicable;  provided that the Depositor  obtains 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 Depositor  elects to provide such coverage in the form of a limited  guaranty
provided by General Motors Acceptance  Corporation,  the Depositor 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 Depositor 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.

(f)      In addition to the  foregoing,  any  amendment  of Section  4.08 of this  Agreement  shall  require the consent of the Limited
Repurchase Right Holder as a third-party beneficiary of Section 4.08 of this Agreement.

Section 11.02.    Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

(a)      To the extent  permitted by applicable  law, this Agreement is subject to recordation  in all  appropriate  public offices for
real  property  records in all the counties or other  comparable  jurisdictions  in which any or all of the  properties  subject to the
Mortgages are situated,  and in any other  appropriate  public  recording  office or elsewhere,  such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee  (pursuant to the request of the Holders of Certificates  entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting  Rights),  but only upon  direction  accompanied  by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such  recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

(b)      For the purpose of facilitating  the  recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes,  this Agreement
may be executed  simultaneously in any number of counterparts,  each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,  and such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.03.    Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

(a)      The death or  incapacity  of any  Certificateholder  shall not operate to  terminate  this  Agreement  or the Trust Fund,  nor
entitle such  Certificateholder's  legal  representatives  or heirs to claim an  accounting  or to take any action or proceeding in any
court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund,  nor otherwise  affect the rights,  obligations  and  liabilities  of any of the
parties hereto.

(b)      No  Certificateholder  shall have any right to vote (except as expressly  provided herein) or in any manner otherwise  control
the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the  obligations of the parties  hereto,  nor shall  anything  herein set forth,  or
contained in the terms of the Certificates,  be construed so as to constitute the  Certificateholders  from time to time as partners or
members of an  association;  nor shall any  Certificateholder  be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken
by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(c)      No  Certificateholder  shall have any right by virtue of any  provision of this  Agreement to  institute  any suit,  action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,  unless such Holder  previously shall have given to the
Trustee a written  notice of  default  and of the  continuance  thereof,  as  hereinbefore  provided,  and unless  also the  Holders of
Certificates of any  Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the related Percentage  Interests of such Class, shall have
made written  request upon the Trustee to institute  such action,  suit or  proceeding  in its own name as Trustee  hereunder and shall
have offered to the Trustee such  reasonable  indemnity as it may require  against the costs,  expenses and  liabilities to be incurred
therein or  thereby,  and the  Trustee,  for 60 days after its  receipt of such  notice,  request  and offer of  indemnity,  shall have
neglected  or refused to  institute  any such  action,  suit or  proceeding  it being  understood  and  intended,  and being  expressly
covenanted by each  Certificateholder  with every other  Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
of any Class shall  have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect,  disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of such  Certificates  of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder,  or to enforce any right under this  Agreement,  except in the manner herein  provided and
for the common benefit of  Certificateholders  of such Class or all Classes,  as the case may be. For the protection and enforcement of
the  provisions  of this  Section 11.03,  each and every  Certificateholder  and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.04.    Governing Law.

         This agreement and the  Certificates  shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the conflict of law principles  thereof,  other than Sections  5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General  Obligations
Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

(a)      This Agreement may be supplemented by means of the addition of a separate  Article hereto  (a "Supplemental  Article") for the

any designee  thereof) is the  registered  Holder (the  "Resecuritized  Certificates"),  the Depositor  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 Depositor,  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

Supplemental  Article shall not constitute an "amendment" of this Agreement.  Each  Supplemental  Article shall set forth all necessary

other provisions  necessary to the purposes thereof. In connection with each Supplemental  Article,  the Depositor 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 any  REMIC created  hereunder as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund  (including but not limited

forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code.

Section 12.01.    Intent of Parties; Reasonableness.

         The  Depositor,  the  Trustee  and the Master  Servicer  acknowledge  and agree that the  purpose  of this  Article  XII is to
facilitate  compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the  Commission.  The
Depositor 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 requests made by the Depositor 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 Depositor
to  deliver  to  the  Depositor  (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 Depositor to permit
the Depositor 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  to the  Depositor  as of the date hereof and on each date on which  information  is
provided to the Depositor under Sections 12.01,  12.02(b) or 12.03 that,  except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor 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  relating to the Trustee with respect to the Depositor or any sponsor,  issuing  entity,  servicer,  trustee,  originator,
significant  obligor,  enhancement or support  provider or other material  transaction  party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB)
relating to the Securitization  Transaction  contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Depositor 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 of any Transaction  Party. The
Depositor shall notify the Trustee of any change in the identity of a Transaction Party after the Closing Date.

(b)      If so requested by the  Depositor 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  Depositor.  Any such request from the Depositor  shall not be given more than once each calendar  quarter,  unless
the Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.

Section 12.03.    Information to be Provided by the Trustee.

         For so long as the  Certificates  are outstanding,  for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's  reporting  obligation under
the Exchange Act with respect to any class of  Certificates,  the Trustee shall provide to the Depositor 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 date the  Depositor or Master  Servicer  files each
Report on Form 10-D and  Report on Form 10-K with  respect  to the  Certificates,  the  Trustee  will be deemed to  represent  that any
information  previously  provided  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  Depositor  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 Depositor  changes the
information provided by the Trustee.

Section 12.04.    Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.

         On or before March 15 of each calendar year, the Trustee shall:

(a)      deliver to the Depositor a report (in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Depositor)  regarding the Trustee's
assessment of compliance  with the applicable  Servicing  Criteria during the  immediately  preceding  calendar year, as required under
Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the  Exchange Act and Item 1122 of  Regulation  AB. Such report  shall be  addressed  to the  Depositor  and
signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit S hereto; and

(b)      deliver to the Depositor a report of a registered public  accounting firm reasonably  acceptable to the Depositor 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  Depositor,  each  affiliate of the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer and each broker dealer
acting as  underwriter,  placement  agent or initial  purchaser  of the  Certificates  or each Person who  controls any of such parties
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities  Act and Section 20 of the Exchange  Act);  and the  respective  present and former

fact  required to be stated in the Trustee  Information  or  necessary  in order to make the  statements  therein,  in the light of the

or purchase of securities,  without  regard to whether the Trustee  Information  or any portion  thereof is presented  together with or
separately from such other information; or

(ii)     any failure by the Trustee to deliver any  information,  report,  certification,  or other material when and as required under

to be contained in any  information  provided under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Depositor or Master Servicer for inclusion in
any report  filed with  Commission  under the  Exchange  Act  (collectively,  the "RFC  Information"),  or (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the RFC  Information a material fact  required to be stated in the RFC  Information  or necessary in order to make
the  statements  therein,  in the  light of the  circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not  misleading;  provided,  by way of
clarification,  that clause (ii) of this paragraph  shall be construed  solely by reference to the RFC Information and not to any other
information  communicated  in connection  with a sale or purchase of securities,  without regard to whether the RFC  Information or any
portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.

obligation of or interest in Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee referred
to below or GMAC Mortgage  Group,  Inc. 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  Asset
Securities  Corporation,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee  or  GMAC  Mortgage  Group,  Inc.  or any  of  their
affiliates.  None of the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage  Group,  Inc. 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 and  adjustable  interest rate,  first and junior lien mortgage loans on one- to four- family  residential
properties  (the "Mortgage  Loans"),  sold by Residential  Asset  Securities  Corporation  (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 U.S.  Bank  National  Association,  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 A-[_] Certificates on such Distribution Date.

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

         Notwithstanding  the above,  the final  distribution on this  Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such  distribution  and only upon  presentation and surrender of, this Certificate at the office or
agency  appointed  by the Trustee for that  purpose in St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  The  Initial  Certificate  Principal
Balance of this  Certificate  is set forth above.  The  Certificate  Principal  Balance hereof will be reduced from
time to time pursuant to the Agreement.

         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.  Paul,  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
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  (i) to  purchase,  at a price  determined  as provided in the
Agreement,  all  remaining  Mortgage  Loans and all property  acquired in respect of any  Mortgage  Loan or (ii) to
purchase in whole,  but not in part, all of the  Certificates  from the Holders  thereof,  provided,  that any such
option may only be exercised if the Stated Principal  Balance before giving effect to the  distributions to be made
on such  Distribution  Date of the Mortgage Loans, as of the Distribution  Date upon which the proceeds of any such
purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.

         Unless the  certificate  of  authentication  hereon has been  executed by the  Certificate  Registrar,  by
manual  signature,  this  Certificate  shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

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
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  (i) to  purchase,  at a price  determined  as provided in the
Agreement,  all  remaining  Mortgage  Loans and all property  acquired in respect of any  Mortgage  Loan or (ii) to
purchase in whole,  but not in part, all of the  Certificates  from the Holders  thereof,  provided,  that any such
option may only be exercised if the Stated Principal  Balance before giving effect to the  distributions to be made
on such  Distribution  Date of the Mortgage Loans, as of the Distribution  Date upon which the proceeds of any such
purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.

         Unless the  certificate  of  authentication  hereon has been  executed by the  Certificate  Registrar,  by
manual  signature,  this  Certificate  shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.

                  evidencing  a  percentage  interest  in  the  distributions  allocable  to  the
                  Class SB  Certificates  with respect to a Trust Fund consisting  primarily of a
                  pool of fixed and  adjustable  interest  rate,  first and junior lien  mortgage
                  loans on one- to four-family  residential  properties sold by RESIDENTIAL ASSET
                  SECURITIES CORPORATION

         This  Certificate  is  payable  solely  from the  assets  of the Trust  Fund,  and does not  represent  an
obligation of or interest in Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee referred
to below or any of their affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental  agency or instrumentality or by Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master
Servicer,  the  Trustee or any of their  affiliates.  None of the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer or any of their
affiliates  will have any  obligation  with respect to any  certificate or other  obligation  secured by or payable
from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that  [__________]  is the registered  owner of the Percentage  Interest  evidenced by this
Certificate in certain  distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting  primarily of an interest in a pool
of adjustable  interest rate,  first and junior lien mortgage loans on one- to four-family  residential  properties
(the "Mortgage  Loans"),  sold by Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation  (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 U.S.  Bank  National  Association,  as trustee (the  "Trustee"),  a summary of certain of the
pertinent  provisions of which is set forth  hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein,  the  capitalized  terms
used herein have the meanings  assigned in the  Agreement.  This  Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms,  provisions and conditions of the Agreement,  to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  a distribution  will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution  Date"),  commencing
as  described  in the  Agreement,  to the  Person in whose  name this  Certificate  is  registered  at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month  immediately  preceding the month of such  distribution (the "Record
Date"),  from the  Available  Distribution  Amount in an amount  equal to the  product of the  Percentage  Interest
evidenced by this  Certificate  and the amount of interest and  principal,  if any,  required to be  distributed to
Holders of Class SB Certificates on such Distribution Date.

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

         Notwithstanding  the above,  the final  distribution on this  Certificate will be made after due notice of
the pendency of such  distribution  and only upon  presentation  and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose in St. Paul, Minnesota.

         No  transfer of this  Certificate  will be made  unless  such  transfer  is exempt  from the  registration
requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and any applicable  state  securities  laws or is made in
accordance  with said Act and laws.  In the  event  that such a  transfer  is to be made,  (i) the  Trustee  or the
Depositor may require an opinion of counsel  acceptable to and in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Trustee
and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt  (describing  the applicable  exemption and the basis therefor) from
or is being made pursuant to the  registration  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and of any
applicable  statute of any state and (ii) the transferee  shall execute an investment  letter in the form described
by the Agreement.  The Holder hereof  desiring to effect such transfer shall,  and does hereby agree to,  indemnify
the Trustee,  the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer and the  Certificate  Registrar  acting on behalf of the Trustee
against  any  liability  that may result if the  transfer is not so exempt or is not made in  accordance  with such
Federal and state laws.

         No transfer of this  Certificate  or any interest  therein  shall be made to any employee  benefit plan or
other plan or arrangement  subject to the prohibited  transaction  provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
or any 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
(each of the foregoing,  a "Plan Investor") unless the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master Servicer are provided
with either (i) a certification  pursuant to Section  5.02(e)(i)(B)  of the Agreement or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance  satisfactory to the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master Servicer to the
effect that the purchase or holding of this  Certificate is permissible  under  applicable law, will not constitute
or result in any  non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  under  Section 406 of ERISA or Section  4975 of the Code (or
comparable  provisions  of any  subsequent  enactments),  and will not subject the  Trustee,  the  Depositor 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 the  Agreement,  which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

         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.  Paul,  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 thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized  denominations  evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The  Certificates  are  issuable  only as  registered  Certificates  without  coupons  in  Classes  and in
denominations  specified in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth,  Certificates  are exchangeable  for new  Certificates of authorized  denominations  evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

         No service  charge will be made for any such  registration  of transfer or  exchange,  but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The  Depositor,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee,  the  Certificate  Registrar  and any  agent of the
Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee or the Certificate  Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate  is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and none of the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         The  obligations  created  by the  Agreement  in respect of the  Certificates  and the Trust Fund  created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to  Certificateholders  of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and  required  to be paid to them  pursuant to the  Agreement  following  the earlier of (i) the  maturity or other
liquidation  of  the  last  Mortgage  Loan  subject  thereto  or the  disposition  of all  property  acquired  upon
foreclosure  or deed in lieu of  foreclosure  of any Mortgage  Loan,  and (ii) the purchase by the Master  Servicer
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  (i) to  purchase,  at a price  determined  as provided in the
Agreement,  all  remaining  Mortgage  Loans and all property  acquired in respect of any  Mortgage  Loan or (ii) to
purchase in whole,  but not in part, all of the  Certificates  from the Holders  thereof,  provided,  that any such
option may only be exercised if the Stated Principal  Balance before giving effect to the  distributions to be made
on such  Distribution  Date of the Mortgage Loans, as of the Distribution  Date upon which the proceeds of any such
purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.

         Unless the certificate of authentication  hereon has been executed by the Certificate  Registrar by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                  evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions  allocable to the Class R
                  Certificates  with  respect to a Trust Fund  consisting  primarily of a pool of
                  fixed and  adjustable  interest  rate,  first and junior lien mortgage loans on
                  one-  to  four-family   residential   properties  sold  by  RESIDENTIAL   ASSET
                  SECURITIES CORPORATION

         This  Certificate  is  payable  solely  from the  assets  of the  Trust  Fund and  does not  represent  an
obligation of or interest in Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee referred
to below or any of their affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental  agency or instrumentality or by Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master
Servicer,  the  Trustee or any of their  affiliates.  None of the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer or any of their
affiliates  will have any  obligation  with respect to any  certificate or other  obligation  secured by or payable
from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that  [________________]  is the registered owner of the Percentage  Interest  evidenced by
this Certificate in certain  distributions  with respect to the Trust Fund consisting  primarily of a pool of fixed
and adjustable  interest rate, first and junior lien mortgage loans on one- to four-family  residential  properties
(the "Mortgage  Loans"),  sold by Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation  (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 U.S.  Bank  National  Association,  as trustee (the  "Trustee"),  a summary of certain of the
pertinent  provisions of which is set forth  hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein,  the  capitalized  terms
used herein have the meanings  assigned in the  Agreement.  This  Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms,  provisions and conditions of the Agreement,  to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,  a distribution  will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution  Date"),  commencing
as  described  in the  Agreement,  to the  Person in whose  name this  Certificate  is  registered  at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month  immediately  preceding the month of such  distribution (the "Record
Date"),  from the  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 the 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,  (ii) 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 Master  Servicer 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 Master  Servicer,  which
purchaser may be the Master  Servicer,  or any affiliate of the Master  Servicer,  on such terms and  conditions as
the Master Servicer 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 in St. Paul,  Minnesota.  The Holder of this Certificate may have
additional obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax liabilities.

         No  transfer of this  Certificate  will be made  unless  such  transfer  is exempt  from the  registration
requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and any applicable  state  securities  laws or is made in
accordance  with said Act and laws.  In the  event  that such a  transfer  is to be made,  (i) the  Trustee  or the
Depositor may require an opinion of counsel  acceptable to and in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Trustee
and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt  (describing  the applicable  exemption and the basis therefor) from
or is being made pursuant to the  registration  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and of any
applicable  statute of any state and (ii) the transferee  shall execute an investment  letter in the form described
by the Agreement.  The Holder hereof  desiring to effect such transfer shall,  and does hereby agree to,  indemnify
the Trustee,  the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer and the  Certificate  Registrar  acting on behalf of the Trustee
against  any  liability  that may result if the  transfer is not so exempt or is not made in  accordance  with such
Federal and state laws.

         No transfer of this  Certificate  or any interest  therein  shall be made to any employee  benefit plan or
other plan or arrangement  subject to the prohibited  transaction  provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
or any 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
(each of the foregoing,  a "Plan Investor") unless the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master Servicer are provided
with either (i) a certification  pursuant to Section  5.02(e)(i)(B)  of the Agreement or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance  satisfactory to the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master Servicer to the
effect that the purchase or holding of this  Certificate is permissible  under  applicable law, will not constitute
or result in any  non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  under  Section 406 of ERISA or Section  4975 of the Code (or
comparable  provisions  of any  subsequent  enactments),  and will not subject the  Trustee,  the  Depositor 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 the  Agreement,  which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

         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.  Paul,  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 thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized  denominations  evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The  Certificates  are  issuable  only as  registered  Certificates  without  coupons  in  Classes  and in
denominations  specified in the Agreement.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth,  Certificates  are exchangeable  for new  Certificates of authorized  denominations  evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the  Holder surrendering the same.

         No service  charge will be made for any such  registration  of transfer or  exchange,  but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The  Depositor,  the  Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee,  the  Certificate  Registrar  and any  agent of the
Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee or the Certificate  Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate  is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and none of the Depositor,  the Master  Servicer,
the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         The  obligations  created  by the  Agreement  in respect of the  Certificates  and the Trust Fund  created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to  Certificateholders  of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee
and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement.

         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.

each Custodial File to the corresponding  information in the Mortgage Loan Schedule:  (i) the loan number, (ii) the
borrower  name and (iii) the original  principal  balance.  In the event that any Mortgage  Note or  Assignment  of
Mortgage has been  delivered to the  Custodian by the Company in blank,  the  Custodian,  upon the direction of the
Company,  shall cause each such  Mortgage  Note to be endorsed to the Trustee and each such  Assignment of Mortgage
to be completed in the name of the Trustee  prior to the date on which such Interim  Certification  is delivered to
the Trustee.  Within 45 days of receipt of the documents  required to be delivered  pursuant to Section  2.01(c) of
the  Pooling  Agreement,  the  Custodian  agrees,  for the benefit of the  Certificateholders,  to review each such
document,  and upon the  written  request of the  Trustee to  deliver to the  Trustee an updated  Schedule A to the
Interim  Certification.  The  Custodian  shall be under no duty or  obligation  to inspect,  review or examine said
documents,  instruments,  certificates  or other papers to determine  that the same are  genuine,  enforceable,  or
appropriate for the  represented  purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what
they  purport to be on their  face,  or that the MIN is  accurate.  If in  performing  the review  required by this
Section 2.3 the Custodian  finds any document or documents  constituting  a part of a Custodial  File to be missing
or defective in respect of the items  reviewed as described in this Section  2.3(b),  the Custodian  shall promptly
so notify the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

                (c) Upon receipt of all  documents  required to be in the  Custodial  Files the  Custodian  shall
deliver  to the  Trustee  a Final  Certification  in the form  annexed  hereto  as  Exhibit  Three  evidencing  the
completeness of the Custodial Files.

                Upon  receipt of written  request  from the  Trustee,  the  Company or the Master  Servicer,  the
Custodian  shall as soon as  practicable  supply the Trustee  with a list of all of the  documents  relating to the
Mortgage Loans  required to be delivered  pursuant to Section  2.01(b) of the Pooling  Agreement not then contained
in the Custodial Files.

                Section  2.4.  Notification  of Breaches of  Representations  and  Warranties.  If the  Custodian
discovers,  in the course of performing its custodial  functions,  a breach of a representation or warranty made by
the Master  Servicer or the Company as set forth in the Pooling  Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating
to a Custodial  File, the Custodian  shall give prompt written notice to the Company,  the Master  Servicer and the
Trustee.

                Section  2.5.  Custodian  to  Cooperate;  Release of  Custodial  Files.  Upon the  repurchase  or
substitution  of any  Mortgage  Loan  pursuant  to Article II of the  Pooling  Agreement  or payment in full of any
Mortgage Loan, or 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 shall  immediately  notify the Custodian by delivering to
the  Custodian  a Request  for  Release  (in the form of Exhibit  Four  attached  hereto or a  mutually  acceptable
electronic  form) and shall request  delivery to it of the Custodial  File. The Custodian  agrees,  upon receipt of
such Request for Release, promptly to release to the Master Servicer the related Custodial File.

                Upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master  Servicer,  signed by a Servicing  Officer,
that (i) the  Master  Servicer  or a  Subservicer,  as the case may be,  has made a  deposit  into the  Certificate
Account in payment for the  purchase of the related  Mortgage  Loan in an amount  equal to the  Purchase  Price for
such  Mortgage  Loan or (ii) the Company has chosen to  substitute a Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage  Loan for such
Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall release to the Master Servicer the related Custodial File.

                Upon written  notification of a substitution,  the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian
and the  Custodian  agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other  documents  constituting  the Custodial  File with
respect to any Qualified  Substitute  Mortgage Loan, upon receiving  written  notification from the Master Servicer
of such substitution.

                From time to time as is  appropriate  for the  servicing or  foreclosures  of any Mortgage  Loan,
including,  for this purpose,  collection under any Primary Insurance Policy or any Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy,
the Master  Servicer  shall  deliver to the  Custodian a Request for Release  certifying  as to the reason for such
release.  Upon receipt of the  foregoing,  the Custodian  shall deliver the Custodial  File or such document to the
Master  Servicer.  All  Custodial  Files so  released to the Master  Servicer  shall be held by it in trust for the
Trustee  for the use and  benefit of all present and future  Certificateholders.  The Master  Servicer  shall cause
each Custodial  File or any document  therein so released to be returned to the Custodian 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 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 to the Custodian an
updated  Request for Release signed by 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.
Immediately  upon receipt of any Custodial  File returned to the  Custodian by the Master  Servicer,  the Custodian
shall deliver a signed acknowledgement to the Master Servicer, confirming receipt of such Custodial File.

                Upon the written request of the Master  Servicer,  the Custodian will send to the Master Servicer
copies of any documents contained in the Custodial File.

                Section  2.6.   Assumption   Agreements.   In  the  event  that  any   assumption   agreement  or
substitution  of liability  agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage  Loan subject to this  Agreement
in  accordance  with the terms and  provisions  of the Pooling  Agreement,  the Master  Servicer  shall  notify the
Custodian  that such  assumption or  substitution  agreement has been  completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
original of such  assumption or  substitution  agreement,  which shall be added to the related  Custodial File and,
for all purposes,  shall be considered a part of such Custodial File to the same extent as all other  documents and
instruments constituting parts thereof.

                                                     ARTICLE III

                                              Concerning the Custodian

                Section 3.1.  Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee.  With respect to each  Mortgage  Note,
Mortgage and other documents  constituting each Custodial File which are delivered to the Custodian,  the Custodian
is exclusively  the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no  instructions  to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage
for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee,  holds such  documents for the benefit of  Certificateholders
and  undertakes  to perform  such  duties and only such  duties as are  specifically  set forth in this  Agreement.
Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this  Agreement,  no Mortgage Note,  Mortgage or other
document  constituting  a part of a Custodial File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company or the Master
Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

                The Master  Servicer  shall  promptly  notify the Custodian in writing if it shall no longer be a
member of MERS, or if it otherwise  shall no longer be capable of  registering  and recording  Mortgage Loans using
MERS.  In addition,  the Master  Servicer  shall (i) promptly  notify the Custodian in writing when a MERS Mortgage
Loan is no longer registered with and recorded under MERS and (ii)  concurrently with any such  deregistration of a
MERS Mortgage Loan,  prepare,  execute and record an original  assignment from MERS to the Trustee and deliver such
assignment to the Custodian.

                Section 3.2.  Indemnification.  The Company  hereby  agrees to indemnify  and hold the  Custodian
harmless from and against all claims,  liabilities,  losses,  actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or
any other  expenses,  fees or charges of any  character or nature,  which the Custodian may incur or with which the
Custodian may be threatened by reason of its acting as custodian  under this Agreement,  including  indemnification
of the Custodian  against any and all  expenses,  including  attorney's  fees if counsel for the Custodian has been
approved by the  Company,  and the cost of  defending  any action,  suit or  proceedings  or  resisting  any claim.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  it is  specifically  understood  and  agreed  that in the event  any such  claim,
liability,  loss,  action,  suit or proceeding or other expense,  fee or charge shall have been caused by reason of
any negligent act,  negligent  failure to act or willful  misconduct on the part of the  Custodian,  or which shall
constitute a willful breach of its duties  hereunder,  the  indemnification  provisions of this Agreement shall not
apply.

                Section  3.3.  Custodian  May Own  Certificates.  The  Custodian 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
Custodian.

                Section  3.4.  Master  Servicer  to Pay  Custodian's  Fees  and  Expenses.  The  Master  Servicer
covenants  and  agrees  to pay to the  Custodian  from  time to  time,  and the  Custodian  shall be  entitled  to,
reasonable  compensation  for all services  rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties  hereunder of the Custodian,  and the Master  Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request
for all reasonable  expenses,  disbursements  and advances incurred or made by the Custodian 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),  except any such expense,  disbursement  or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith.

                 Section  3.5.  Custodian  May Resign;  Trustee May Remove  Custodian.  The  Custodian  may resign
from the  obligations  and duties  hereby  imposed upon it as such  obligations  and duties relate to its acting as
Custodian  of the  Mortgage  Loans.  Upon  receiving  such notice of  resignation,  the Trustee  shall  either take
custody of the Custodial  Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the Company,  the Master  Servicer and the
Custodian,  or promptly  appoint a successor  Custodian  by written  instrument,  in  duplicate,  one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning  Custodian and one copy to the successor  Custodian.  If the Trustee
shall not have taken custody of the  Custodial  Files and no successor  Custodian  shall have been so appointed and
have accepted  appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,  the resigning  Custodian
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

                The Trustee,  at the direction of the Master  Servicer and the Company,  may remove the Custodian
at any time. In such event,  the Trustee shall appoint,  or petition a court of competent  jurisdiction to appoint,
a  successor  Custodian  hereunder.   Any  successor  Custodian  shall  be  a  depository  institution  subject  to
supervision  or  examination  by federal or state  authority  and shall be able to satisfy  the other  requirements
contained in Section 3.7 and shall be unaffiliated with the Master Servicer or the Company.

                Any  resignation or removal of the Custodian and  appointment of a successor  Custodian  pursuant
to any of the  provisions  of this  Section 3.5 shall  become  effective  upon  acceptance  of  appointment  by the
successor  Custodian.  The  Trustee  shall  give  prompt  notice to the  Company  and the  Master  Servicer  of the
appointment  of any  successor  Custodian.  No successor  Custodian  shall be appointed by the Trustee  without the
prior approval of the Company and the Master Servicer.

                Section 3.6.  Merger or  Consolidation  of Custodian.  Any Person into which the Custodian 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 Custodian shall be a party, or any Person  succeeding to the business of the Custodian,
shall be the  successor of the  Custodian  hereunder,  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;  provided that such
successor is a depository  institution  subject to supervision or examination by federal or state  authority and is
able to satisfy the other  requirements  contained in Section 3.7 and is  unaffiliated  with the Master Servicer or
the Company.

                Section 3.7.  Representations  of the Custodian.  The Custodian  hereby  represents  that it is a
depository  institution  subject to  supervision or  examination  by a federal or state  authority,  has a combined
capital and surplus of at least  $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the  jurisdictions in which it will
hold any Custodial File.

                                                    ARTICLE IV

                                           Compliance with Regulation AB

                Section 4.1.      Intent of the  Parties;  Reasonableness.  The parties  hereto  acknowledge  and
agree that the purpose of this  Article IV 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  parties  hereto  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  requests  made by the  Company  in good faith for
delivery of  information  under these  provisions on the basis of evolving  interpretations  of Regulation  AB. The
Custodian  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 4.2.      Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.

                (a)      The Custodian  hereby  represents and warrants that the  information set forth under the
caption "Pooling and Servicing  Agreement - Custodial  Arrangements" (the "Custodian  Disclosure") does not contain
any untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state a material  required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make  the  statements  therein,  in the  light of the  circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not
misleading.

                (b)      The  Custodian  shall be deemed to represent to the Company as of the date hereof and on
each date on which  information  is provided to the Company under Section 4.3 that,  except as disclosed in writing
to the  Company  prior to such  date:  (i) there are no  aspects  of its  financial  condition  that  could  have a
material  adverse effect on the  performance by it of its Custodian  obligations  under this Agreement or any other
Securitization  Transaction  as to which it is the  custodian;  (ii) there are no  material  legal or  governmental
proceedings  pending (or known to be contemplated)  against it; and (iii) there are no affiliations,  relationships
or transactions  relating to the Custodian 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
such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the  Securitization  Transaction  contemplated  by the Agreement,
as identified by the Company to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a "Transaction Party").

                (c)      If so requested by the Company on any date  following  the Closing  Date,  the Custodian
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 reasonably  adequate  disclosure of the pertinent facts, in
writing,  to the  requesting  party.  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 a  determination  that  any of the
representations and warranties may not be accurate.

                Section 4.3.      Additional  Information  to Be  Provided by the  Custodian.  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  Custodian  shall  (a) notify  the  Company in writing of any
material  litigation  or  governmental  proceedings  pending  against  the  Custodian  that  would be  material  to
Certificateholders,  and (b)  provide to the Company a written  description  of such  proceedings.  Any notices and
descriptions  required  under  this  Section 4.3  shall be given no later  than  five  Business  Days  prior to the
Determination  Date  following the month in which the  Custodian  has  knowledge of the  occurrence of the relevant
event.  As of the date the Company or Master  Servicer  files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to
the  Certificates,  the Custodian will be deemed to represent that any information  previously  provided under this
Section 4.3,  if any, is  materially  correct and does not have any material  omissions  unless the  Custodian  has
provided an update to such information.

                Section 4.4.      Report on Assessment of Compliance  and  Attestation.  On or before March 15 of
each calendar year, the Custodian shall:

                (a)      deliver to the Company a report (in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
Company)  regarding the  Custodian's  assessment of compliance  with the Servicing  Criteria during the immediately
preceding  calendar  year,  as  required  under  Rules  13a-18  and  15d-18  of the  Exchange  Act and Item 1122 of
Regulation  AB.  Such  report  shall be  addressed  to the  Company  and  signed by an  authorized  officer  of the
Custodian,  and shall address each of the Servicing  Criteria  specified on a  certification  substantially  in the
form of Exhibit Five hereto; and

                (b)      deliver  to the  Company a report of a  registered  public  accounting  firm  reasonably
acceptable to the Company that attests to, and reports on, the  assessment of compliance  made by the Custodian 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 4.5.      Indemnification; Remedies.

                (a)      The Custodian  shall  indemnify the Company,  each affiliate of the Company,  the Master
Servicer and each broker dealer acting as  underwriter,  placement agent or initial  purchaser of the  Certificates
or each  Person who  controls  any of such  parties  (within the  meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act); 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 the
Custodian  Disclosure  and any  information,  report,  certification,  accountants'  attestation  or other material
provided under this Article IV by or on behalf of the Custodian  (collectively,  the "Custodian  Information"),  or
(B) the omission or alleged  omission to state in the  Custodian  Information a material fact required to be stated
in the  Custodian  Information  or  necessary  in  order  to make  the  statements  therein,  in the  light  of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

         (ii)   any failure by the  Custodian to deliver any  information,  report,  certification,  accountants'
attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV.

                (b)      In the case of any failure of  performance  described in clause (ii) of  Section 4.5(a),
the Custodian  shall promptly  reimburse the Company for all costs  reasonably  incurred by the Company in order to
obtain the information,  report, certification,  accountants' letter or other material not delivered as required by
the Custodian.

                                                      ARTICLE V

                                              Miscellaneous Provisions

                Section 5.1.  Notices.  All  notices,  requests,  consents  and demands and other  communications
required  under this  Agreement or pursuant to any other  instrument or document  delivered  hereunder  shall be in
writing and, unless  otherwise  specifically  provided,  may be delivered  personally,  by telegram or telex, or by
registered or certified  mail,  postage  prepaid,  return  receipt  requested,  at the  addresses  specified on the
signature page hereof (unless  changed by the particular  party whose address is stated herein by similar notice in
writing), in each case the notice will be deemed delivered when received.

                Section  5.2.  Amendments.  No  modification  or  amendment of or  supplement  to this  Agreement
shall be valid or  effective  unless  the same is in  writing  and signed by all  parties  hereto,  and none of the
Company,  the Master  Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any  amendment of or  supplement  to this  Agreement
except as  permitted  by the Pooling  Agreement.  The  Trustee  shall give prompt  notice to the  Custodian  of any
amendment or supplement to the Pooling Agreement and furnish the Custodian with written copies thereof.

                Section 5.3.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of
the State of New York and shall be  construed  and  enforced  in  accordance  with and  governed by the laws of the
State of New York.

                Section  5.4.  Recordation  of  Agreement.  To the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  this
Agreement  is subject to  recordation  in all  appropriate  public  offices  for real  property  records in all the
counties or other  comparable  jurisdictions  in which any or all of the  properties  subject to the  Mortgages are
situated,  and in any other  appropriate  public recording office or elsewhere,  such recordation to be effected by
the  Master  Servicer  and at its  expense on  direction  by the  Trustee  (pursuant  to the  request of holders of
Certificates  evidencing  undivided  interests in the  aggregate of not less than 25% of the Trust Fund),  but only
upon direction  accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the Master Servicer to the effect
that the failure to effect such  recordation  is likely to  materially  and  adversely  affect the interests of the
Certificateholders.

                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  5.5.  Severability  of  Provisions.  If any one or more  of the  covenants,  agreements,
provisions  or terms of this  Agreement  shall be for any reason  whatsoever  held  invalid,  then such  covenants,
agreements,  provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,  provisions or
terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or  enforceability  of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the holders thereof.

                                     FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

STATE OF                         )
                                 )ss.:
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 Home Equity  Mortgage
Asset-Backed  Pass-Through  Certificates,  Series  2006-EMX8,  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 Section  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 an electing  large  partnership  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.       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.

6.       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.

7.       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.

8.       The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ____________________.

9.       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.

10.      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  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 Annex I.

11.      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.

12.      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.

13.      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.

14.      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.

15.      The Owner hereby  certifies,  represents and warrants to, and covenants  with the  Depositor,  the Trustee
and the Master Servicer that the following statements in (a) or (b) are accurate:

                  (a)      The  Certificates  are not  being  acquired  by,  and will not be  transferred  to,  any
     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 Internal
     Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  or any 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 (each of the foregoing, a "Plan Investor"); or

                  (b)      The Owner has  provided the  Trustee,  the  Depositor  and the Master  Servicer  with an
     Opinion of Counsel  acceptable to and in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Trustee,  the Depositor and
     the  Master  Servicer  to the  effect  that the  purchase  or holding of  Certificates  is  permissible  under
     applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  under Section 406 of
     ERISA or Section  4975 of the Code (or  comparable  provisions  of any  subsequent  enactments),  and will not
     subject  the  Trustee,  the  Depositor,  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 the
     Pooling and Servicing  Agreement,  which  Opinion of Counsel  shall not be at the expense of the Trustee,  the
     Depositor or the Master Servicer.

         In addition,  the Owner hereby  certifies,  represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Master  Servicer  that the Owner will not transfer  such  Certificates  to any Plan Investor or
person unless either such Plan Investor or person meets the requirements set forth in either (a) or (b) above.

         Capitalized  terms used but not  defined  herein  shall have the  meanings  assigned  in the  Pooling  and
Servicing Agreement.

required to enable the IRS to verify that a taxpayer is  complying  with the  conditions  of this  regulation.  The
collection of  information  is mandatory and is required.  Otherwise,  the taxpayer will not receive the benefit of
safe harbor  treatment as provided in the regulation.  The likely  respondents are businesses and other  for-profit
institutions.

         Comments on the  collection of information  should be sent to the Office of Management  and Budget,  Attn:
Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury,  Office of Information  and Regulatory  Affairs,  Washington,  DC,
20503,  with  copies  to the  Internal  Revenue  Service,  Attn:  IRS  Reports  Clearance  Officer,  W:CAR:MP:FP:S,
Washington,  DC 20224.  Comments  on the  collection  of  information  should be received by  September  17,  2002.
Comments are specifically requested concerning:

o        Whether the  collection of  information  is necessary for the proper  performance  of the functions of the
              Internal Revenue Service, including whether the information will have practical utility;

o        The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection of information (see below);

o        How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected may be enhanced;

o        How the burden of complying  with the collection of information  may be minimized,  including  through the
              application of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and

o        Estimates of capital or start-up  costs and costs of  operation,  maintenance,  and purchase of service to
              provide information.

         An agency  may not  conduct or  sponsor,  and a person is not  required  to respond  to, a  collection  of
information unless it displays a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.

         The estimated total annual reporting  burden is 470 hours,  based on an estimated number of respondents of
470 and an estimated average annual burden hours per respondent of one hour.

         Books or records  relating to a collection of  information  must be retained as long as their contents may
become  material  in the  administration  of any  internal  revenue  law.  Generally,  tax  returns  and tax return
information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

Background

         This  document  contains  final  regulations  regarding  the  proposed  amendments  to 26 CFR part 1 under
section  860E of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (Code).  The  regulations  provide the  circumstances  under which a
transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the investigation and  representation  requirements may
avail itself of the safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.

         Final regulations  governing REMICs,  issued in 1992,  contain rules governing the transfer of noneconomic
REMIC residual  interests.  In general,  a transfer of a noneconomic  residual  interest is disregarded for all tax
purposes  if a  significant  purpose of the  transfer  is to 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 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.

Drafting Information

         The principal author of these regulations is Courtney  Shepardson.  However,  other personnel from the IRS
and Treasury Department participated in their development.

Section  5.02 of the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  (the  "Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement"),  dated as of
September 1, 2006 among  Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation,  as depositor (the  "Depositor"),  Residential
Funding  Corporation,  as master servicer,  and U.S. Bank National  Association,  as trustee (the  "Trustee").  All
terms used  herein and not  otherwise  defined  shall have the  meanings  set forth in the  Pooling  and  Servicing
Agreement.  The Seller hereby  certifies,  represents  and warrants to, and covenants  with,  the Depositor and the
Trustee that:

1.       No purpose of the Seller  relating to the transfer of the  Certificate  by the Seller to the  Purchaser is
or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

2.       The Seller  understands  that the  Purchaser  has  delivered  to the  Trustee  and the  Master  Servicer a
transfer  affidavit and  agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement as Exhibit H-1. The
Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

3.       The  Seller  has at the  time of the  transfer  conducted  a  reasonable  investigation  of the  financial
condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury  Regulations Section  1.860E-1(c)(4)(i)  and, as a result of
that  investigation,  the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has  historically  paid its debts as they become
due and has found no  significant  evidence to indicate  that the  Purchaser  will not continue to pay its debts as
they  become due in the future.  The Seller  understands  that the  transfer  of a Class R  Certificate  may not be
respected  for United  States  income tax  purposes  (and the Seller may  continue  to be liable for United  States
income taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.

                  Placement Memorandum,  dated ___________________,  20__, relating to the Certificates (b)] a copy
                  of the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  and [b] [c] such  other  information  concerning  the

                  the  Depositor  or the Seller  and is  relevant  to the  Purchaser's  decision  to  purchase  the
                  Certificates.  The  Purchaser  has had any  questions  arising  from such review  answered by the
                  Depositor  or the  Seller  to the  satisfaction  of the  Purchaser.  [If  the  Purchaser  did not
                  purchase the  Certificates  from the Seller in connection  with the initial  distribution  of the

                  "Memorandum")  relating to the original sale (the  "Original  Sale") of the  Certificates  by the
                  Depositor,  the Purchaser  acknowledges  that such  Memorandum  was provided to it by the Seller,
                  that  the  Memorandum  was  prepared  by the  Depositor  solely  for use in  connection  with the
                  Original Sale and the Depositor did not  participate  in or facilitate in any way the purchase of
                  the  Certificates  by the Purchaser from the Seller,  and the Purchaser  agrees that it will look
                  solely to the Seller and not to the  Depositor  with respect to any damage,  liability,  claim or
                  expense arising out of,  resulting from or in connection  with (a) error or omission,  or alleged
                  error or omission,  contained in the  Memorandum,  or (b) any  information,  development or event
                  arising after the date of the Memorandum.]

5.       The  Purchaser  has not and will not nor has it  authorized  or will it authorize any person to (a) offer,
                  pledge,  sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any Certificate,  any interest in any Certificate
                  or any other  similar  security to any person in any  manner,  (b) solicit any offer to buy or to
                  accept  a  pledge,  disposition  of  other  transfer  of any  Certificate,  any  interest  in any
                  Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner,  (c) otherwise  approach
                  or  negotiate  with respect to any  Certificate,  any  interest in any  Certificate  or any other
                  similar  security with any person in any manner,  (d) make any general  solicitation  by means of
                  general  advertising or in any other manner or (e) take any other action,  that (as to any of (a)
                  through (e) above) would  constitute a distribution of any Certificate  under the Act, that would
                  render  the  disposition  of any  Certificate  a  violation  of Section 5 of the Act or any state
                  securities  law, or that would  require  registration  or  qualification  pursuant  thereto.  The
                  Purchaser  will not sell or otherwise  transfer  any of the  Certificates,  except in  compliance
                  with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

6.       The  Purchaser  hereby  certifies,  represents  and warrants to, and  covenants  with the  Depositor,  the
                  Trustee and the Master Servicer that the following statements in (a) or (b) are correct:

                                    (a)     The  Purchaser  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
                           Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the  "Code"),  or any 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 (each of the foregoing, a "Plan Investor"); or

                                    (b)     the  Purchaser  has provided the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master
                           Servicer  with  an  Opinion  of  Counsel   acceptable  to  and  in  form  and  substance
                           satisfactory  to the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master  Servicer to the effect that
                           the purchase or holding of  Certificates is permissible  under  applicable law, will not
                           constitute  or result in any  non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  under  Section 406 of
                           ERISA  or  Section  4975  of the  Code  (or  comparable  provisions  of  any  subsequent
                           enactments),  and will not subject the Trustee,  the Depositor 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 the Pooling and Servicing
                           Agreement,  which  Opinion  of  Counsel  shall not be an  expense  of the  Trustee,  the
                           Depositor or the Master Servicer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         In  addition,  the  Purchaser  hereby  certifies,  represents  and warrants to, and  covenants  with,  the
Depositor,  the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the Purchaser will not transfer such  Certificates to any Plan
Investor or person  unless either such Plan  Investor or person meets the  requirements  set forth in either (a) or
(b) above.

                                                 LIMITED GUARANTY

                                                   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  Subservicer  will be entitled to any  reimbursement
pursuant to Section 3.10 on such  Distribution  Date for Advances or Subservicer  Advances  previously made, (which
will not be Advances or Subservicer  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  Subservicer  Advances  reimbursed  pursuant to Section 3.10, to the extent such Advances
or  Subservicer  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 SB  Certificateholders  in the same manner as if such amount were to be
distributed pursuant to Section 4.02.

                  (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 SB  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 SB  Certificateholders  in the same  manner as if such
amount  were to be  distributed  pursuant to Section  4.02;  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 SB  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 SB  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 SB  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 SB  Certificates,  or  such  lower  amount  as may be
established  pursuant  to Section  13.02.  Residential  Funding's  obligations  as  described  in this  Section are
referred to herein as the "Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation."

                  (d)      The Trustee will promptly  notify General Motors  Acceptance  Corporation 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 General Motors Acceptance  Corporation,  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 General  Motors  Acceptance  Corporation 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 SB Certificateholders.

                  (f)      The Depositor 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 Depositor  obtains  (subject to the  provisions of Section  10.01(f) as if the
Depositor  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 General  Motors  Acceptance  Corporation as of the date of issuance of the Limited  Guaranty and (b)
the  rating of the long  term  debt  obligations  of  General  Motors  Acceptance  Corporation  at the date of such
substitution  and (C) if the Class SB Certificates  have been rated,  the Depositor  obtains  written  confirmation
from  each  Rating  Agency  that  rated  the  Class SB  Certificates  at the  request  of the  Depositor  that such
substitution  shall not lower the rating on the  Class SB  Certificates  below the  lesser of (a) the  then-current
rating  assigned to the Class SB  Certificates  by such Rating Agency and (b) the original  rating  assigned to the
Class SB  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 Depositor,  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 Depositor 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 Depositor shall also obtain a
letter from each Rating Agency that rated the Class SB  Certificates  at the request of the Depositor to the effect
that such amendment,  reduction,  deletion or cancellation  will not lower the rating on the Class SB  Certificates
below the lesser of (a) the  then-current  rating  assigned to the Class SB  Certificates by such Rating Agency and
(b) the original  rating  assigned to the Class SB  Certificates  by such Rating  Agency,  unless (A) the Holder of
100% of the Class SB  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 Depositor  obtains  (subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Depositor was substituted for
the  Master  Servicer  solely  for the  purposes  of  such  provision),  in the  case of a  material  amendment  or
supersession  (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  supersession  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.

                  NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises  herein  contained and certain other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, GMAC agrees as follows:

1.       Provision of Funds.  (a) GMAC agrees to  contribute  and deposit in the  Certificate  Account on behalf of

                                    FORM OF RULE 144A INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION

                              Description of Rule 144A Securities, including numbers:
                                  _______________________________________________
                                  _______________________________________________

                                  _______________________________________________

                  The undersigned  seller, as registered  holder (the "Seller"),  intends to transfer the Rule 144A
Securities described above to the undersigned buyer (the "Buyer").

1.       In connection  with such transfer and in accordance  with the  agreements  pursuant to which the Rule 144A
Securities were issued,  the Seller hereby certifies the following  facts:  Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on
its behalf  has  offered,  transferred,  pledged,  sold or  otherwise  disposed  of the Rule 144A  Securities,  any
interest in the Rule 144A  Securities or any other  similar  security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a
transfer,  pledge or other  disposition of the Rule 144A  Securities,  any interest in the Rule 144A  Securities or
any other similar  security from, or otherwise  approached or negotiated with respect to the Rule 144A  Securities,
any interest in the Rule 144A  Securities or any other similar  security  with,  any person in any manner,  or made
any general  solicitation by means of general  advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action,  that
would  constitute a  distribution  of the Rule 144A  Securities  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"),  or that would render the disposition of the Rule 144A Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933
Act or require  registration  pursuant thereto, and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any
person other than the Buyer or another "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.

2.       The Buyer,  pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement (the  "Agreement"),  dated as
of  September  1,  2006  among  Residential  Funding  Corporation,  as master  servicer  (the  "Master  Servicer"),
Residential Asset Securities Corporation,  as depositor (the "Depositor"),  and U.S. Bank National Association,  as
trustee (the  "Trustee")  warrants and  represents to, and covenants  with, the Seller,  the Trustee and the Master
Servicer as follows:

a.       The Buyer  understands  that the Rule 144A Securities  have not been registered  under the 1933 Act or the
         securities laws of any state.

b.       The Buyer considers itself a substantial,  sophisticated  institutional investor having such knowledge and
         experience  in financial  and business  matters that it is capable of  evaluating  the merits and risks of
         investment in the Rule 144A Securities.

c.       The  Buyer  has been  furnished  with all  information  regarding  the Rule  144A  Securities  that it has
         requested from the Seller, the Trustee or the Servicer.

d.       Neither the Buyer nor anyone  acting on its behalf has offered,  transferred,  pledged,  sold or otherwise
         disposed of the Rule 144A  Securities,  any  interest  in the Rule 144A  Securities  or any other  similar
         security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer,  pledge or other  disposition of the Rule
         144A  Securities,  any  interest  in the Rule 144A  Securities  or any other  similar  security  from,  or
         otherwise  approached or  negotiated  with respect to the Rule 144A  Securities,  any interest in the Rule
         144A  Securities  or any other  similar  security  with,  any person in any  manner,  or made any  general
         solicitation  by means of general  advertising  or in any other manner,  or taken any other  action,  that
         would  constitute a distribution of the Rule 144A  Securities  under the 1933 Act or that would render the
         disposition of the Rule 144A  Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require  registration
         pursuant  thereto,  nor will it act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in such
         manner with respect to the Rule 144A Securities.

e.       The Buyer is a  "qualified  institutional  buyer" as that term is  defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act
         and has  completed  either of the forms of  certification  to that  effect  attached  hereto as Annex I or
         Annex II.  The Buyer is aware  that the sale to it is being made in  reliance  on Rule 144A.  The Buyer is
         acquiring the Rule 144A  Securities for its own account or the accounts of other  qualified  institutional
         buyers,  understands  that such Rule 144A Securities may be resold,  pledged or transferred  only (i) to a
         person  reasonably  believed to be a qualified  institutional  buyer that purchases for its own account or
         for the account of a  qualified  institutional  buyer to whom  notice is given that the resale,  pledge or
         transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another  exemption from  registration
         under the 1933 Act.

3.       The Buyer of Class SB Certificates or Class R Certificates

a.       is not an  employee  benefit  plan or other  plan or  arrangement  subject to the  prohibited  transaction
         provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any 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; or

b.       has provided the Trustee,  the Depositor and the Master Servicer with the Opinion of Counsel  described in
         Section 5.02(e)(i) of the Agreement,  which shall be acceptable to and in form and substance  satisfactory
         to the  Trustee,  the  Depositor,  and the Master  Servicer to the effect that the  purchase or holding of
         this  Certificate is  permissible  under  applicable  law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt
         prohibited  transaction  under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable  provisions
         of any subsequent  enactments),  and will not subject the Trustee,  the Depositor,  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 the Agreement,  which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
         of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

4.       This  document  may be  executed  in one or more  counterparts  and by the  different  parties  hereto  on
separate  counterparts,  each of which,  when so executed,  shall be deemed to be an original;  such  counterparts,

                  Exchange Act of 1934.

         ___      Insurance  Company.  The Buyer is an insurance  company  whose primary and  predominant  business
                  activity is the  writing of  insurance  or the  reinsuring  of risks  underwritten  by  insurance
                  companies  and  which is  subject  to  supervision  by the  insurance  commissioner  or a similar
                  official or agency of a State or territory or the District of Columbia.

         ___      State or Local Plan. The Buyer is a plan  established  and  maintained by a State,  its political
                  subdivisions,  or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political  subdivisions,  for
                  the benefit of its employees.

         ___      Investment  Adviser.  The  Buyer  is  an  investment  adviser  registered  under  the  Investment
                  Advisers Act of 1940.

         ___      SBIC.  The Buyer is a Small  Business  Investment  Company  licensed by the U.S.  Small  Business
                  Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.

         ___      Business  Development  Company.  The  Buyer is a  business  development  company  as  defined  in
                  Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

         ___      Trust  Fund.  The  Buyer is a trust  fund  whose  trustee  is a bank or trust  company  and whose

                  subdivisions,  or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political  subdivisions,  for
                  the benefit of its  employees,  or (b)  employee  benefit  plans within the meaning of Title I of
                  the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974,  but is not a trust fund that includes as
                  participants individual retirement accounts or H.R. 10 plans.

3.       The term  "securities"  as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with
the Buyer,  (ii) securities  that are part of an unsold  allotment to or subscription by the Buyer, if the Buyer is
a dealer,  (iii)  bank  deposit  notes and  certificates  of  deposit,  (iv) loan  participations,  (v)  repurchase
agreements,  (vi)  securities  owned but subject to a repurchase  agreement and (vii)  currency,  interest rate and
commodity swaps.

4.       For purposes of determining  the aggregate  amount of securities  owned and/or invested on a discretionary
basis by the  Buyer,  the  Buyer  used the cost of such  securities  to the Buyer  and did not  include  any of the
securities  referred to in the preceding  paragraph.  Further,  in determining such aggregate amount, the Buyer may
have included  securities  owned by  subsidiaries  of the 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 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.
