         This  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement,  effective  as of  February  1, 2007,  among  RESIDENTIAL  ASSET
SECURITIES  CORPORATION,  as the depositor (together with its permitted  successors and assigns,  the “Depositor”),
RESIDENTIAL  FUNDING  COMPANY,  LLC, 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 and  supplemental  interest trust trustee  (together with its permitted  successors and
assigns, the “Trustee” and the “Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,” respectively).

                                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

         The  Depositor  intends  to  sell  mortgage  asset-backed  pass-through  certificates  (collectively,  the
“Certificates”),  to be issued  hereunder  in seven  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  Supplemental  Interest Trust
Account,  the Swap  Agreement  and the SB-A Swap  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.

                        Uncertificated REMIC I            Initial Uncertificated
    Designation            Pass-Through Rate                Principal Balance

_______________
(1)  This Class of  Certificates  represents  ownership of a REMIC III Regular  Interest  together with (i) certain
     rights to payments to be made from amounts  received  under the Swap  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 Swap Agreement and (ii) the obligation to pay the Class IO  Distribution  Amount.  Any amount  distributed
     on this Class of Certificates on any  Distribution  Date in excess of the amount  distributable on the related
     REMIC III Regular  Interest on such  Distribution  Date shall be treated  for federal  income tax  purposes as
     having been paid from the Supplemental  Interest Trust Account and any amount  distributable on such REMIC III
     Regular  Interest  on such  Distribution  Date  in  excess  of the  amount  distributable  on  such  Class  of
     Certificates  on such  Distribution  Date shall be treated as having  been paid to the  Supplemental  Interest
     Trust Account, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 4.10 hereof.
(2)  The REMIC III Regular  Interests,  ownership of which is represented by the Class A 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  and  Class A-II  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 Swap 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 four REMIC III Regular  Interests,  two  principal  only Regular
     Interests  designated  SB-PO-I and SB-PO-II and two interest  only Regular  Interests  designated  SB-IO-I and
     SB-IO-II,  which will be entitled to distributions as set forth herein.  The rights of the Holder of the Class
     SB  Certificates  to payments  from the Swap  Agreement  shall be outside and apart from its rights  under the
     REMIC III Regular Interests SB-IO-I, SB-IO-II, SB-PO-I and SB-PO-II.
(5)  REMIC  III  Regular  Interest  IO  will be  held  as an  asset  of the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account
     established  by the Trustee and will be treated for federal  income tax purposes as owned by the holder of the
     Class SB Certificates.
(6)  For federal  income tax purposes,  REMIC III Regular  Interest IO will not have a Pass Through Rate,  but will
     be entitled to 100% of the amounts distributed on REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IO.
(7)  For federal  income tax  purposes,  REMIC III Regular  Interest IO will not have an  Uncertificated  Principal
     Balance,  but will have a notional  amount  equal to the  Uncertificated  Notional  Amount of REMIC II Regular
     Interest LT-IO.

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

                                                     ARTICLE I

                                                    DEFINITIONS

         Section 1.01.     Definitions.

         Whenever used in this Agreement,  the following words and phrases,  unless the context otherwise requires,
shall have the meanings specified in this Article.

         Accrued  Certificate  Interest:  With  respect  to  each  Distribution  Date  and  each  Class of  Class A
Certificates,  an  amount  equal to the  interest  accrued  during  the  related  Interest  Accrual  Period  on the
Certificate  Principal Balance 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  reductions  will be  allocated  among the  related  Class A
Certificates,  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.

         With  respect  to each  Distribution  Date and the  Class SB  Certificates,  interest  accrued  during the
preceding  Interest  Accrual  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)(iv)  and (v). 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.

         Adjusted  Available   Distribution   Amount:   With  respect  to  any  Distribution  Date,  the  Available
Distribution  Amount increased by the excess,  if any, of the Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap  Counterparty  over

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 and the  Certificate  Insurer),  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 and the Certificate
Insurer) 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  and the
Certificate  Insurer,  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,  after  consultation with the Master Servicer and the Certificate  Insurer,  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.

                                           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 the month of the  Cut-off  Date);  and (ii) all
proceeds of the foregoing.  The Depositor,  the Master  Servicer and the Trustee agree that it is not intended that
any  Mortgage  Loan be included  in the Trust Fund that is either (i) a  High-Cost  Home Loan as defined in the New
Jersey Home  Ownership Act  effective  November 27, 2003,  (ii) a High-Cost  Home Loan as defined in the New Mexico
Home Loan  Protection Act effective  January 1, 2004,  (iii) a High-Cost Home Loan as defined in the  Massachusetts
Predatory  Home Loan  Practices  Act  effective  November 7, 2004 or (iv) a  High-Cost  Home Loan as defined in the
Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law Act effective January 1, 2005.

         (b)      In connection with such assignment,  and  contemporaneously  with the delivery of this Agreement,
except as set forth in Section  2.01(c) below and subject to Section  2.01(d) below,  the Depositor does hereby (1)
with respect to each Mortgage Loan,  deliver to the Master  Servicer (or an Affiliate of the Master  Servicer) each
of the documents or instruments  described in clause (ii) below (and the Master  Servicer shall hold (or cause such
Affiliate  to hold) such  documents  or  instruments  in trust for the use and  benefit 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® 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), (iv) and (v) below and (4) with
respect to each  Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Loan and is not  registered  on the MERS® 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,  an original  lost note  affidavit  from the related  Seller or
Residential  Funding  stating that the original  Mortgage Note was lost,  misplaced or  destroyed,  together with a
copy of the related Mortgage Note.

                  (ii)     The  original  Mortgage,  noting  the  presence  of the  MIN of the  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® 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  and the  Certificate  Insurer,  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® 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® 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  and the  Certificate  Insurer.  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) the Swap  Agreement,  including  without  limitation all
amounts  received  thereunder  and amounts from time to time held or invested in the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust
Account,  whether in the form of cash,  instruments,  securities or other property,  (D) 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 (E) 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), (D) and (E) 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,  with a copy  delivered  to the  Certificate  Insurer,
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  and the  Certificate  Insurer.  The
Trustee or Custodian (the Custodian  being so obligated  under a Custodial  Agreement)  agrees,  for the benefit of
Certificateholders  and the Certificate  Insurer, 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  or
the  Certificate  Insurer,  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® 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® 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  (except
for the Certificate Insurer’s rights under the Insurance Agreement).

         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 and the Certificate Insurer that as of the Closing Date:

                  (i)      The Master  Servicer is a limited  liability  company duly organized,  validly  existing
and in good standing under the laws  governing its creation and existence and is or will be in compliance  with the
laws  of  each  state  in  which  any  Mortgaged  Property  is  located  to the  extent  necessary  to  ensure  the
enforceability of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

                  (ii)     The  execution  and  delivery  of  this  Agreement  by  the  Master   Servicer  and  its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Master  Servicer’s  Certificate of
Formation or Limited  Liability  Company Agreement or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice
or lapse of time, or both,  would  constitute a material  default)  under, or result in the material breach of, any
material  contract,  agreement  or other  instrument  to  which  the  Master  Servicer  is a party or which  may be
applicable to the Master Servicer or any of its assets;

                  (iii)    This Agreement,  assuming due  authorization,  execution and delivery by the Trustee and
the 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,  the Trustee or the Certificate  Insurer 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  Certificate  Insurer,  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  or the  Certificate  Insurer 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  90days 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  (except  for the  Certificate  Insurer’s  rights  under  Section  3.03 of the
Insurance Agreement.

         (b)      The  Depositor   hereby   represents  and  warrants  to  the  Trustee  for  the  benefit  of  the
Certificateholders  and the Certificate  Insurer 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  Regulation Section  1.860G-2(a)(1),  (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9), without reliance on
the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section  1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulation Section  1.860G-2(f)(2) or any
other  provision  that would allow a Mortgage  Loan to be treated as a  “qualified  mortgage”  notwithstanding  its
failure  to  meet  the  requirements  of  Section  860G(a)(3)(A)  of  the  Code  and  Treasury  Regulation  Section
1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9).

         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 Certificate Insurer, 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  or the  Certificate  Insurer in any
Mortgage  Loan,  the party  discovering  such breach shall give prompt  written notice to the other parties and the
Certificate  Insurer (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  (other  than the  Certificate  Insurer)  or the  Trustee  on  behalf  of the
Certificateholders (other than the Certificate Insurer).

         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  and the  Certificate  Insurer  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,  the Certificate  Insurer and the  Certificateholders.  Upon the discovery by the Depositor,
the  Master  Servicer,  the  Certificate  Insurer,  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  or  the
Certificate  Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party  discovering  such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the other parties and the  Certificate  Insurer (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  or the Certificate Insurer 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 (xliii) 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  and the  Certificate  Insurer 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  and the  Certificate  Insurer 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  (xliii)  of  Section  4 thereof  shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the  Certificateholders  (other than the Certificate
Insurer) or the Trustee on behalf of the  Certificateholders  (other than the Certificate  Insurer).  If the Master
Servicer is Residential  Funding,  then the Trustee shall also have the right,  and, if directed by the Certificate
Insurer,  the obligation,  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 each Class of  Certificates  (other than the Class R Certificates  in respect of Components I and II
thereof).  The Trustee acknowledges  receipt of the REMIC I Regular Interests,  and the REMIC II Regular Interests,
and  declares  that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the  exclusive  use and  benefit of the Holders of
each Class of  Certificates  (other than the Class R Certificates  in respect of Components I and II thereof).  The
interests  evidenced by Component III of the Class R Certificates,  together with the REMIC III Regular  Interests,
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 Regulation § 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® System,
or cause the removal from the  registration  of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System,  to execute and deliver,  on
behalf of the Trustee and the  Certificateholders  or any of them, any and all  instruments of assignment and other
comparable  instruments  with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS,  solely
as nominee for the Trustee and its successors  and assigns.  Any expenses  incurred in connection  with the actions
described in the  preceding  sentence  shall be borne by the Master  Servicer in accordance  with Section  3.16(c),
with no right of  reimbursement;  provided,  that if,  as a result  of MERS  discontinuing  or  becoming  unable to
continue  operations in connection  with the MERS®  System,  it becomes  necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from
registration  on the MERS® System and to arrange for the assignment of the related  Mortgages to the Trustee,  then
any  related  expenses  shall  be  reimbursable  to the  Master  Servicer  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  or the Certificate  Insurer.  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, the  Certificateholders  and the Certificate Insurer, 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)(viii).

         Section 3.03.     Successor Subservicers.

         The  Master  Servicer  shall be  entitled  to  terminate  any  Subservicing  Agreement  that may  exist in
accordance  with the terms and  conditions of such  Subservicing  Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of
this Agreement;  provided,  however,  that in the event of termination of any Subservicing  Agreement by the Master
Servicer or the  Subservicer,  the Master  Servicer  shall either act as servicer of the related  Mortgage  Loan or
enter into a Subservicing  Agreement with a successor  Subservicer  which will be bound by the terms of the related
Subservicing  Agreement.  If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer,  it will
not assume liability for the  representations  and warranties of the Subservicer  which it replaces.  If the Master
Servicer  enters  into a  Subservicing  Agreement  with a  successor  Subservicer,  the Master  Servicer  shall use
reasonable efforts to have the successor  Subservicer assume liability for the  representations and warranties made
by the  terminated  Subservicer in respect of the related  Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such  assumption
by the  successor  Subservicer,  the Master  Servicer  may, in the exercise of its business  judgment,  release the
terminated Subservicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

         Section 3.04.     Liability of the Master Servicer.

         Notwithstanding  any  Subservicing  Agreement,  any  of the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  relating  to
agreements or  arrangements  between the Master  Servicer or a Subservicer  or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer   or   otherwise,   the  Master   Servicer   shall  remain   obligated   and  liable  to  the  Trustee,
Certificateholders  and the  Certificate  Insurer 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.

         (c)      Unless a Certificate  Insurer  Default  exists,  the Master Servicer will, if it is authorized to
do so under the  relevant  Subservicing  Agreement,  upon  request  of the  Certificate  Insurer at a time when the
Certificate Insurer may remove the Master Servicer under the terms hereof, terminate any Subservicing Agreement.

         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  or the
Certificate  Insurer  (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, the Certificate  Insurer Premium Modified
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  (without  regard to the
Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance  Policy).  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 (xliii) 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,  the Certificate  Insurer 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 and the  Certificate  Insurer  Premium  Modified
Rate 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)  plus  the
Certificate  Insurer Premium  Modified Rate, 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 or
the  Certificate  Insurer  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  and the Certificate  Insurer,  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 and the
Certificate  Insurer an Opinion of  Counsel,  addressed  to the  Trustee,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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 the Certificate  Insurer for  reimbursement for any payments
made  pursuant  to the  Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance  Policy to the extent not  reimbursed  pursuant to Section
4.02(c)(iii) and sixth, 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  Section1.1445-2(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®  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),  plus the  Certificate  Insurer
Premium  Modified Rate, 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(b),  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(b).

         (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,  the  Certificate
Insurer or the  Depositor,  the Master  Servicer  shall  forward to the Trustee,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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,  the Certificate  Insurer 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,  the  Certificate  Insurer  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  Certificate  Insurer hereby is so
identified.  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 Certificate  Insurer
and the Trustee a written notice and payment  instruction  (an “Advance  Facility  Notice”),  providing the Trustee
with written  payment  instructions as to where to remit Advance  Reimbursement  Amounts and/or  Servicing  Advance
Reimbursement  Amounts  (each to the extent  such type of  Reimbursement  Amount is  included  within  the  Advance
Facility) on subsequent  Distribution  Dates. The payment  instruction  shall require the applicable  Reimbursement
Amounts to be  distributed  to the Advancing  Person or to an Advance  Facility  Trustee  designated in the Advance
Facility  Notice.  An Advance  Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written  direction of the Master
Servicer and the related  Advancing  Person (and any related Advance Facility  Trustee).  The Master Servicer shall
provide the  Certificate  Insurer with notice of any termination of any Advance  Facility  pursuant to this section
3.22(b).

         (c)      Reimbursement  Amounts shall consist  solely of amounts in respect of Advances  and/or  Servicing
Advances  made with respect to the  Mortgage  Loans for which the Master  Servicer  would be permitted to reimburse
itself in  accordance  with Section  3.10(a)(ii)  and (vii) hereof,  assuming the Master  Servicer or the Advancing
Person had made the related  Advance(s) and/or Servicing  Advance(s).  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  except with
respect to reimbursement of  Nonrecoverable  Advances as set forth in Section 3.10(c) of this Agreement,  no Person
shall be  entitled  to  reimbursement  from  funds  held in the  Collection  Account  for  future  distribution  to
Certificateholders  pursuant to this  Agreement.  Neither  the  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  with the  consent of the  Certificate  Insurer  but without the
consent of any  Certificateholder,  with written  confirmation  from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not

         (d)      Upon the written request of any  Certificateholder,  the Master  Servicer,  as soon as reasonably
practicable,   shall  provide  the  requesting   Certificateholder  with  such  information  as  is  necessary  and
appropriate,   in  the  Master  Servicer’s  sole  discretion,  for  purposes  of  satisfying  applicable  reporting
requirements under Rule 144A.

         (e)      The Master  Servicer  shall,  on behalf of the Depositor  and in respect of the Trust Fund,  sign
and cause to be filed with the  Commission  any periodic  reports  required to be filed under the provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission  thereunder,  including without  limitation,  reports
on Form 10-K, Form 10-D and Form 8-K. In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic  reports,  the
Trustee shall timely provide to the Master  Servicer (I) a list of  Certificateholders  as shown on the Certificate
Register as of the end of each  calendar  year,  (II) copies of all  pleadings,  other legal  process and any other
documents relating to any claims,  charges or complaints involving the Trustee, as trustee hereunder,  or the Trust
Fund that are received by a  Responsible  Officer of the Trustee,  (III) notice of all matters  that, to the actual
knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, have been submitted to a vote of the  Certificateholders,  other
than those  matters that have been  submitted to a vote of the  Certificateholders  at the request of the Depositor
or the  Master  Servicer,  and  (IV)  notice  of any  failure  of the  Trustee  to  make  any  distribution  to the
Certificateholders  as required pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have
any liability  with respect to the Master  Servicer’s  failure to properly  prepare or file such  periodic  reports
resulting from or relating to the Master  Servicer’s  inability or failure to obtain any  information not resulting
from the Master Servicer’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

         (f)      Any Form 10-K filed with the  Commission  in  connection  with this Section  4.03 shall  include,
with respect to the Certificates relating to such 10-K:

                  (i)      A  certification,  signed by the senior officer in charge of the servicing  functions of
the Master  Servicer,  in the form  attached  as  Exhibit  T-1  hereto or such  other  form as may be  required  or
permitted by the Commission (the “Form 10-K  Certification”),  in compliance with Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the
Exchange Act and any additional directives of the Commission.

                  (ii)     A report  regarding  its  assessment of  compliance  during the preceding  calendar year
with  all  applicable   servicing  criteria  set  forth  in  relevant   Commission   regulations  with  respect  to
mortgage-backed  securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer that are backed by the same
types of assets as those  backing  the  certificates,  as well as  similar  reports  on  assessment  of  compliance
received  from  other  parties  participating  in  the  servicing  function  as  required  by  relevant  Commission
regulations,  as  described  in Item  1122(a) of  Regulation  AB. The Master  Servicer  shall obtain from all other
parties participating in the servicing function any required assessments.

                  (iii)    With  respect to each  assessment  report  described  immediately  above,  a report by a
registered  public  accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment made by the asserting party, as
set forth in relevant  Commission  regulations,  as described in  Regulation  1122(b) of  Regulation AB and Section
3.19.

                  (iv)     The servicer compliance certificate required to be delivered pursuant Section 3.18.

         (g)      In connection  with the Form 10-K  Certification,  the Trustee shall provide the Master  Servicer
with a back-up certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T-2.

         (h)      This Section 4.03 may be amended in  accordance  with this  Agreement  without the consent of the
Certificateholders.

         (i)      The Trustee  shall make  available on the  Trustee’s  internet  website each of the reports filed
with the  Commission  by or on behalf of the Depositor  under the Exchange  Act, as soon as reasonably  practicable
upon delivery of such report to the Trustee.

         Section 4.04.     Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Depositor; Advances by the Master
                           Servicer.

         (a)      Prior to the close of business on the Business Day next succeeding each  Determination  Date, the
Master Servicer shall furnish a written statement (which may be in a mutually  agreeable  electronic format) to the
Trustee,  the  Certificate  Insurer,  any Paying Agent and the Depositor  (the  information in such statement to be
made available to  Certificateholders  by the Master Servicer on request)  (provided that the Master Servicer shall
use its best  efforts to  deliver  such  written  statement  not later than 12:00 p.m.  New York time on the second
Business  Day prior to the  Distribution  Date)  setting  forth (i) the  Available  Distribution  Amount,  (ii) the
amounts  required to be withdrawn  from the Custodial  Account and deposited  into the  Certificate  Account on the
immediately  succeeding  Certificate  Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section  4.01(a),  (iii) the
amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls,  Group I Basis Risk Shortfalls,  Group II Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv) the
Net Swap  Payments and Swap  Termination  Payments,  if any,  for such  Distribution  Date and (v) the  Certificate
Insurer Premium and, if the Master Servicer  determines that an Insured Payment exists for such Distribution  Date,
the amounts  needed to  complete  the Notice  related to such  Insured  Payment.  The  determination  by the Master
Servicer of such amounts shall,  in the absence of obvious  error,  be  presumptively  deemed to be correct for all
purposes  hereunder  and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the same without any  independent  check or
verification.

         (b)      On or before  2:00 P.M.  New York time on each  Certificate  Account  Deposit  Date,  the  Master
Servicer  shall  either (i) remit to the Trustee  for deposit in the  Certificate  Account  from its own funds,  or
funds received  therefor from the  Subservicers,  an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
in respect of the related  Distribution  Date,  which shall be in an  aggregate  amount equal to the 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 plus the  Certificate  Insurer  Premium  Modified  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 plus the Certificate  Insurer Premium  Modified 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 plus the Certificate  Insurer Premium Modified
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,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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 and the
Certificate  Insurer 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; and

                  (iii)   third,  for losses on the Group I Loans,  to the Class  A-I-1  Certificates,  Class A-I-2
                          Certificates,  Class  A-I-3  Certificates  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  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  and the REMIC II Regular  Interests as provided in the  definition  of REMIC I Realized
Losses and REMIC II Realized Losses, respectively.

         (e)      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 in respect of Group I
Loans allocated to the Class SB Certificates  shall, to the extent such Realized Losses  represent  Realized Losses
on an interest portion,  be allocated to REMIC III Regular Interest SB-IO-I.  Realized Losses in respect of Group I
Loans  allocated  to the Excess  Cash Flow  pursuant to  paragraph  (b) of this  Section  shall be deemed to reduce
Accrued  Certificate  Interest on REMIC III Regular Interest  SB-IO-I.  Realized Losses in respect of Group I Loans
allocated to the  Overcollateralization  Amount  pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be deemed first to
reduce the principal  balance of REMIC III Regular  Interest  SB-PO-I until such principal  balance shall have been
reduced to zero and  thereafter  to reduce  accrued  and unpaid  interest on REMIC III  Regular  Interest  SB-IO-I.
Realized  Losses in respect of Group II Loans  allocated  to the Class SB  Certificates  shall,  to the extent such
Realized  Losses  represent  Realized  Losses on an interest  portion,  be allocated to REMIC III Regular  Interest
SB-IO-II.  Realized Losses in respect of Group II Loans allocated to the Excess Cash Flow pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section shall be deemed to reduce  Accrued  Certificate  Interest on REMIC III Regular  Interest  SB-IO-II.
Realized  Losses in respect of Group II Loans allocated to the  Overcollateralization  Amount pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section shall be deemed first to reduce the principal  balance of REMIC III Regular  Interest  SB-PO-II
until such principal  balance shall have been reduced to zero and thereafter to reduce accrued and unpaid  interest
on REMIC III Regular Interest SB-IO-II.

         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 that is  delinquent  in payment by 90 days or more,  the Master
Servicer  may,  at its  option,  purchase  such  Mortgage  Loan from the Trustee at the  Purchase  Price  therefor;
provided,  that such Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days or more delinquent  during any given Calendar Quarter shall
only be eligible for purchase  pursuant to this Section  during the period  beginning on the first  Business Day of
the following  Calendar  Quarter,  and ending at the close of business on the  second-to-last  Business Day of such
following  Calendar Quarter;  and provided,  further,  that such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more delinquent at the
time of  repurchase.  Such option if not exercised  shall not  thereafter  be  reinstated as to any Mortgage  Loan,
unless the  delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan  thereafter  again becomes  delinquent in payment by 90 days
or more in a subsequent Calendar Quarter.

         (b)      If at any time the  Master  Servicer  makes a payment to the  Certificate  Account  covering  the
amount of the  Purchase  Price for such a Mortgage  Loan as provided in clause (a) above,  and the Master  Servicer
provides to the Trustee a certification  signed by a Servicing  Officer stating that the amount of such payment has
been deposited in the Certificate  Account,  then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at
the  request of the  Master  Servicer  without  recourse  to the Master  Servicer  which  shall  succeed to all the
Trustee’s  right,  title and  interest in and to such  Mortgage  Loan,  and all  security  and  documents  relative
thereto.  Such  assignment  shall  be an  assignment  outright  and not for  security.  The  Master  Servicer  will
thereupon own such  Mortgage,  and all such security and documents,  free of any further  obligation to the Trustee
or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

         Section 4.08.     [Reserved].

         Section 4.09.     [Reserved].

         Section 4.10.     Supplemental Interest Trust; Swap Agreement.

         (a)      On the Closing Date,  the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust Trustee shall (i) establish and maintain
in its name, in trust for the benefit of the  Certificateholders,  the Supplemental Interest Trust Account and (ii)
for the  benefit  of the  Certificateholders,  cause  the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  to  enter  into  the Swap
Agreement.  It is intended that the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as
a  grantor  trust  under  Subpart  E,  part I of  subchapter  J of  chapter  1 of the  Code,  of which the Class SB
Certificateholders  are owners,  rather than a partnership,  an  association  taxable as a corporation or a taxable
mortgage  pool;  and the powers granted and  obligations  undertaken in this Agreement  shall be construed so as to
further such intent.

         (b)      The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee  shall  deposit in the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust
Account all  payments  that are payable to the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  under the Swap  Agreement.  Net Swap
Payments and Swap Termination  Payments (other than Swap Termination  Payments  resulting from a Swap  Counterparty
Trigger Event) payable by the Supplemental  Interest Trust to the Swap Counterparty  pursuant to the Swap Agreement
shall  be  excluded  from  the  Available  Distribution  Amount  and  paid to the  Swap  Counterparty  prior to any
distributions  to the  Certificateholders.  On  each  Distribution  Date,  such  amounts  will be  remitted  by the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee  to the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  for  payment  to  the  Swap
Counterparty,  and such amounts (plus any amounts  deposited into the Supplemental  Interest Trust Account pursuant
to Section  4.02(c)(xi))  shall be paid to the Swap Counterparty in the following order of priority:  first to make
any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty  pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution  Date; and
second  to make any Swap  Termination  Payment  (not due to a Swap  Counterparty  Trigger  Event)  owed to the Swap
Counterparty  pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such  Distribution  Date.  For federal  income tax purposes,  such
amounts paid to the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Account on each  Distribution  Date shall first be deemed paid to
the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust Account in respect of REMIC III Regular  Interest IO to the extent of the amount
distributable  on such REMIC III Regular Interest IO on such  Distribution  Date, and any remaining amount shall be
deemed  paid to the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  in  respect  of the  SB-A  Swap  Agreement.  Any  Swap
Termination  Payment triggered by a Swap Counterparty  Trigger Event owed to the Swap Counterparty  pursuant to the
Swap  Agreement will be  subordinated  to  distributions  to the Holders of the Class A Certificates a and shall be
paid as set forth under Section 4.02.

         (c)      Net Swap Payments  payable by the Swap  Counterparty to the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee
on  behalf  of  the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  pursuant  to the  Swap  Agreement  shall  be  deposited  by the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee  into the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  and shall be  applied  in
accordance  with Section 4.02.  Neither the Swap Agreement nor any Net Swap Payments  (including  Swap  Termination
Payments)  constitute a part of any REMIC  created  hereunder  and to the extent any Net Swap Payments are included
as a part of Excess Cash Flow they are so for definition purposes only.

         (d)      Subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof,  the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee  agrees to
comply  with the terms of the Swap  Agreement  and to enforce  the terms and  provisions  thereof  against the Swap
Counterparty  at the  written  direction  of the  Holders of  Certificates  entitled  to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights,   or  if  the   Supplemental   Interest   Trust  Trustee  does  not  receive  such   direction   from  such
Certificateholders, then at the written direction of Residential Funding.

         (e)      The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  shall be an Eligible  Account.  Amounts  held in the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account from time to time shall  continue to constitute  assets of the  Supplemental
Interest Trust,  but not of the REMICs,  until released from the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Account  pursuant to
this Section 4.10.  The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  constitutes  an “outside  reserve fund” within the
meaning  of  Treasury   Regulation  Section  1.860G-2(h)  and  is  not  an  asset  of  the  REMICs.  The  Class  SB
Certificateholders  shall be the owners of the  Supplemental  Interest Trust  Account.  The  Supplemental  Interest
Trust Trustee shall keep records that accurately  reflect the funds on deposit in the  Supplemental  Interest Trust
Account.  The Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee shall, at the written  direction of the Master Servicer,  invest
amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust Account in Permitted  Investments.  In the absence of written
direction to the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee from the Master  Servicer,  all funds in the  Supplemental
Interest Trust Account shall remain  uninvested.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Supplemental  Interest Trust
Account shall be terminated at such time when there are no payments due or payable pursuant to the Swap Agreement.

         (f)      The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee  shall,  on behalf of the  holders  of each  Class of
Certificates  (other than the Class SB Certificates  and Class R Certificates)  enter into the SB-A Swap Agreement,
with  itself,  on behalf of the  holders of the Class SB  Certificates.  The  holders of the Class SB  Certificates
hereby  appoint the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust Trustee to act on their behalf with respect to entering into the
SB-A Swap  Agreement.  Pursuant to the SB-A Swap Agreement,  all holders of  Certificates  (other than the Class SB
Certificates  and Class R  Certificates)  shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each  Distribution  Date, to
the  holder of the Class SB  Certificates  an  aggregate  amount  equal to the  excess,  if any,  of (i) the amount
payable on such  Distribution  Date on the REMIC III Regular  Interest  corresponding to such Class of Certificates
over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of  Certificates  on such  Distribution  Date (such excess,  a “Class IO
Distribution  Amount”). In addition,  pursuant to the SB-A Swap Agreement,  the holder of the Class SB Certificates
shall be treated as having  agreed to pay the related  Basis Risk  Shortfalls  to the  holders of the  Certificates
(other than the Class SB  Certificates  and Class R  Certificates)  in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Any payments to the  Certificates  from amounts deemed  received in respect of the SB-A Swap Agreement shall not be
payments with respect to a “regular  interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section  860G(a)(1).  However,
any payment from the  Certificates  (other than the Class SB Certificates  and Class R Certificates)  of a Class IO
Distribution  Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the holders of such  Certificates
in respect of the REMIC III Regular  Interest  corresponding  to such Class of Certificates and as having been paid
by such  holders to the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Account  pursuant to the SB-A Swap  Agreement.  Thus,  each
Certificate  (other than the Class R Certificates)  shall be treated as representing  not only ownership of regular
interests  in REMIC III,  but also  ownership  of an  interest  in, and  obligations  with  respect  to, a notional
principal contract.

         (g)      Upon the occurrence of an Early Termination  Date, the Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee shall
use  reasonable  efforts to appoint a successor swap  counterparty.  To the extent that the  Supplemental  Interest
Trust Trustee  receives a Swap Termination  Payment from the Swap  Counterparty,  the  Supplemental  Interest Trust
Trustee  shall apply such Swap  Termination  Payment to appoint a successor  swap  counterparty.  In the event that
the Supplemental  Interest Trust receives a Swap Termination  Payment from the Swap  Counterparty and a replacement
swap agreement or similar  agreement cannot be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the  Supplemental  Interest
Trust Trustee of such Swap Termination  Payment,  then the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit such
Swap Termination  Payment into a separate,  non interest bearing account and will, on each subsequent  Distribution
Date,  withdraw from the amount then  remaining on deposit in such reserve  account an amount equal to the Net Swap
Payment,  if any, that would have been paid to the  Supplemental  Interest Trust by the original Swap  Counterparty
calculated  in  accordance  with the terms of the  original  Swap  Agreement,  and  deposit  such  amount  into the
Supplemental  Interest Trust Account for distribution on such  Distribution  Date pursuant to Section  4.02(c).  To
the  extent  that the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust is  required  to pay a Swap  Termination  Payment  to the Swap
Counterparty,  any upfront payment  received from the  counterparty to a replacement swap agreement will be used to
pay such Swap  Termination  Payment  prior to using any  portion  of the  Available  Distribution  Amount  for such
Distribution Date.

         (h)      The  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee is hereby  directed by the Depositor,  on or before the
Closing Date, to sign the Swap Agreement and the SB-A Swap Agreement on behalf of the  Supplemental  Interest Trust
for the  benefit  of the  Certificateholders,  in the  form  presented  to it by the  Depositor.  The  Supplemental
Interest  Trust  Trustee  shall have no  responsibility  for the  contents,  adequacy  or  sufficiency  of the Swap
Agreement or the SB-A Swap Agreement,  including,  without limitation, any representations and warranties contained
herein.

         (i)      The  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee is hereby  directed,  on the Closing Date, to remit the
lesser of: (i) $630,000 and (ii) the amounts on deposit in the  Supplemental  Interest Trust received from the Swap
Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement on the Closing Date to the Master Servicer.

         (j)      The  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee shall provide the  Certificate  Insurer  written notice
promptly  upon  determining  that  there  are  insufficient  funds  to  make  any  Net  Swap  Payments  owed by the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust to the Swap  Counterparty.  The  Certificate  Insurer  may,  at its sole  discretion,
advance any such required payments,  and the Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee is hereby authorized to make such
payments on behalf of the Certificate Insurer.

         Section 4.11.     The Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy.

         (a)      If pursuant to Section  4.04(a)(v),  the Master  Servicer  determines  and notifies a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee in writing that an Insured  Payment is required  and the amount of such Insured  Payment for
any  Distribution  Date,  the Trustee  shall  complete  the Notice and submit such  Notice in  accordance  with the
Certificate  Guaranty Insurance Policy to the Certificate  Insurer no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the second  Business Day  immediately  preceding each  Distribution  Date, as a claim for an Insured  Payment in an
amount equal to such Insured Payment.

         (b)      The Trustee shall  establish  and maintain the Insurance  Account on behalf of the Holders of the
Class A  Certificates.  Upon receipt of an Insured  Payment from the  Certificate  Insurer on behalf of the Class A
Certificates,  the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payment in the Insurance  Account.  All amounts on deposit in
the Insurance  Account shall remain  uninvested with no liability for interest or other  compensation  thereon.  On
each  Distribution  Date, the Trustee shall transfer any Insured  Payment then on deposit in the Insurance  Account
to the Certificate Account and distribute such Insured Payment pursuant to Section 4.02.

         (c)      The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact  of each Class A Certificateholder  any Insured
Payment from the  Certificate  Insurer and (ii)  distribute such Insured Payment to the Class A Certificates as set
forth in  subsection  (b) above.  Insured  Payments  disbursed  by the Trustee  from  proceeds  of the  Certificate
Guaranty  Insurance  Policy  shall  not be  considered  payment  by the  Trust  Fund  with  respect  to the Class A
Certificates,  nor shall such  disbursement  of such Insured  Payments  discharge the obligations of the Trust Fund
with respect to the amounts thereof,  and the Certificate  Insurer shall become owner of such amounts to the extent
covered by such Insured  Payments as the deemed  assignee of such Class A  Certificateholders.  The Trustee  hereby
agrees on behalf of each Class A Certificateholder  (and each Class A  Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of its
Class A Certificates,  as applicable,  hereby agrees) for the benefit of the  Certificate  Insurer that the Trustee
shall recognize that to the extent the  Certificate  Insurer pays Insured  Payments,  either directly or indirectly
(as by paying through the Trustee),  to the Class A Certificates,  the  Certificate  Insurer will be entitled to be
subrogated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to the extent of such payments.

         Section 4.12.     Posted Collateral Account

         (a)      On the Closing Date,  the  Supplemental  Interest Trust  Trustee,  on behalf of the  Supplemental
Interest  Trust,  shall  establish  and  maintain a Posted  Collateral  Account  pursuant  to the terms of the Swap
Agreement.

         (b)      The  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,  on behalf of the Supplemental  Interest Trust,  shall
deposit in the Posted  Collateral  Account all  collateral  posted by the Swap  Counterparty  pursuant to Paragraph
13(g)(i) of the credit  support annex to the Swap  Agreement and held by the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,
on behalf of the Supplemental  Interest Trust,  pursuant to the credit support annex to the Swap Agreement.  Assets
deposited into the Posted  Collateral  Account (i) shall not be commingled or used with any other asset held by the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust Trustee and (ii) shall not be transferred to any other person or entity except as may
be provided in the Swap Agreement.

         (c)      The Posted  Collateral  Account shall be an Eligible  Account.  The  Supplemental  Interest Trust
Trustee  shall,  at the  written  direction  of the  Master  Servicer,  invest  amounts  on  deposit  in the Posted
Collateral  Account in Permitted  Investments.  In the absence of written  direction to the  Supplemental  Interest
Trust Trustee from the Master Servicer, all funds in the Posted Collateral Account shall remain uninvested.

                                                     ARTICLE V

                                                 THE CERTIFICATES

         Section 5.01.     The Certificates.

        (a)      The  Class A  Certificates,  Class SB  Certificates  and Class R  Certificates  shall be
substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A, 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  shall be  issuable  in minimum  dollar
denominations  of $100,000  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  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  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 Article8 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 Rule144A,  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 Certificate Insurer,  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,  the Certificate Insurer 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,  the Master  Servicer,  the  Certificate  Insurer or the Trust Fund 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,  the
Master  Servicer,  the Certificate  Insurer or the Trust Fund, or (B) the prospective  transferee shall be required
to provide the Trustee,  the Depositor,  the Certificate  Insurer 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)     Each  Holder  of a  Class A  Certificate  or any  interest  therein  acquired  by a Plan
Investor  as of any date  prior to the  termination  of the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  shall be deemed to have
represented,  by its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or any interest therein,  that at least one of PTCE
84-14,  90-1,  91-38,  95-60 or 96-23 or other  applicable  exemption  applies  to such  Holder's  right to receive
payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust.

                  (iii)    If any  Certificate  (or  interest  therein) is acquired or held by any Person that does
not satisfy the  conditions  described in paragraph  (i) or (ii), as  applicable,  above,  then the last  preceding
Transferee  that satisfies such  conditions  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  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  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,  the  Certificate  Insurer,  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
Section1.67-3T(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
Section1.860E-1 or Section1.860G-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 consent of the Certificate  Insurer and 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  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  Insurer,  the Certificate  Registrar and any agent of the Depositor,  the
Master Servicer,  the Certificate Insurer,  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 Certificate Insurer, 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 as a limited  liability company
under  the  laws  of the  state  of  its  organization,  respectively,  and  will  each  obtain  and  preserve  its
qualification  to do  business  as a  foreign  corporation  or other  Person  in each  jurisdiction  in which  such
qualification  is or shall be  necessary  to  protect  the  validity  and  enforceability  of this  Agreement,  the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

         (b)      Any Person into which the  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 (i) the Master Servicer (or the Depositor,  as applicable)  shall notify
each  Rating  Agency,  the  Trustee  and the  Certificate  Insurer  in writing of any such  merger,  conversion  or
consolidation  at least 30 days prior to the effective  date of such event and (ii) each Rating  Agency’s  ratings,
if any, of the Class A Certificates in effect  immediately  prior to such merger or  consolidation  (without taking
into account the Certificate  Insurance  Guaranty  Policy) will not be qualified,  reduced or withdrawn as a result
thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency).

         (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,  the  Certificate  Insurer and the
Depositor,  is willing to service the Mortgage  Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor,  the  Certificate
Insurer  and the  Trustee an  agreement,  in form and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Depositor,  the
Certificate  Insurer  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  (without  taking  into  account  the
Certificate  Guaranty Insurance Policy) will not be qualified,  reduced or withdrawn as a result of such assignment
and  delegation  (as  evidenced  by a letter to such  effect  from  each  Rating  Agency).  In the case of any such
assignment  and  delegation,  the Master  Servicer  shall be released from its  obligations  under this  Agreement,
except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all  liabilities  and obligations  incurred by it as Master
Servicer  hereunder prior to the  satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in the
next  preceding  sentence.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in the event of a pledge or  assignment by the Master
Servicer  solely of its rights to purchase all assets of the Trust Fund under Section  9.01(a) (or, if so specified
in Section  9.01(a),  its rights to purchase the  Mortgage  Loans and property  acquired  related to such  Mortgage
Loans or its rights to purchase the  Certificates  related  thereto),  the  provisos of the first  sentence of this
paragraph will not apply.

         Section 6.03.     Limitation on Liability of the 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  or the Certificate  Insurer 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 and the  Certificate  Insurer.  No such  resignation  by the Master
Servicer  shall  become  effective  until the  Trustee  or a  successor  servicer  shall  have  assumed  the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02.

                                                    ARTICLE VII

                                                      DEFAULT

         Section 7.01.     Events of Default.

         Event of Default,  wherever used herein,  means any one of the following  events (whatever reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be  voluntary or  involuntary  or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any  judgment,  decree  or  order  of any  court or any  order,  rule or  regulation  of any  administrative  or
governmental body):

                  (i)      the Master  Servicer  shall fail to 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,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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 the Certificate Insurer (unless a Certificate  Insurer Default is continuing,  in
which  case at the  direction  of the  Holders of  Certificates  entitled  to at least 51% of the Voting  Rights by
notice in  writing  to the  Master  Servicer  (and to the  Depositor  and the  Certificate  Insurer if given by the
Trustee or to the Trustee and the  Certificate  Insurer 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  with the written  consent of the  Certificate  Insurer
shall, by notice to the Master Servicer,  the Certificate Insurer 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 and upon the request of the Certificate  Insurer, a copy of
the Program Guide to the Certificate Insurer.

         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,  so long  as no  Certificate  Insurer  Default  exists,  the
Certificate  Insurer may appoint a successor Master Servicer,  and if the Certificate Insurer fails to do so within
30 days or a Certificate  Insurer  Default exists,  the Trustee or, upon notice to the Certificate  Insurer and the
Depositor and with the Depositor’s  consent and, so long as no Certificate  Insurer Default exists, the Certificate
Insurer’s  consent (which  consent 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(b) by the terms and  provisions  hereof);  provided,
however,  that any failure to perform such duties or  responsibilities  caused by the preceding  Master  Servicer’s
failure  to provide  information  required  by  Section  4.04  shall not be  considered  a default  by the  Trustee
hereunder as 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,
so long as no  Certificate  Insurer  Default  exists,  the  Certificate  Insurer  may  appoint a  successor  Master
Servicer,  and if the  Certificate  Insurer fails to do so within 30 days or a Certificate  Insurer Default exists,
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® System to the successor  Master  Servicer.  The  predecessor  Master Servicer shall
file or cause  to be filed  any such  assignment  in the  appropriate  recording  office.  The  predecessor  Master
Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS,  costs of preparing any  assignments of Mortgage,  and fees and costs
of filing any  assignments  of  Mortgage  that may be  required  under this  subsection(b).  The  successor  Master
Servicer shall cause such  assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian  promptly upon receipt of the
original  with  evidence of  recording  thereon or a copy  certified by the public  recording  office in which such
assignment was recorded.

         Section 7.03.     Notification to Certificateholders.

         (a)      Upon any such  termination  or  appointment  of a successor to the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee
shall give  prompt  written  notice  thereof to the  Certificate  Insurer  and to the  Certificateholders  at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

         (b)      Within 60 days after the  occurrence of any Event of Default,  the Trustee shall transmit by mail
to all Holders of  Certificates  and the Certificate  Insurer 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  Certificate  Insurer or the Holders  representing  at least 66% of the Voting Rights of  Certificates
affected by a default or Event of Default  hereunder,  with the written consent of the Certificate  Insurer,  which
consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  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 with the written  consent of the
Certificate  Insurer,  only by all of the  Holders of  Certificates  affected  by such  default or Event of Default
(which Voting Rights of the Class A  Certificateholders  may be exercised by the  Certificate  Insurer  without the
consent of such  Holders and may only be exercised by Holders  with the prior  written  consent of the  Certificate
Insurer so long as there is no Certificate  Insurer  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  Certificate  Insurer or the  Holders  representing  the  requisite
percentage  of Voting Rights of  Certificates  affected by such default or Event of Default with the consent of the
Certificate  Insurer,  which consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  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.

         Section 7.05.     Servicing Trigger; Removal of Master Servicer.

         (a)      Upon  determination  by the  Certificate  Insurer  that a  Servicing  Trigger has  occurred,  the
Certificate  Insurer shall give written notice of such  Servicing  Trigger to the Master  Servicer,  the Depositor,
the Trustee and to each Rating Agency.

         (b)      At any  time  after  such  determination  and  while  a  Servicing  Trigger  is  continuing,  the
Certificate  Insurer may direct the Trustee in writing to remove the Master  Servicer  if the  Certificate  Insurer
makes  a  determination  that  the  manner  of  master  servicing  was a  factor  contributing  to the  size of the
delinquencies or losses incurred in the Trust Fund.

         (c)      Upon receipt of directions to remove the Master  Servicer  pursuant to the preceding  clause (b),
the  Trustee  shall  notify the Master  Servicer  that it has been  terminated  and the  Master  Servicer  shall be
terminated in the same manner as specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02.

         (d)      After notice of  occurrence of a Servicing  Trigger has been given and while a Servicing  Trigger
is  continuing,  until and unless the Master  Servicer  has been  removed as  provided  in clause  (b),  the Master
Servicer  covenants  and agrees to act as the  Master  Servicer  for a term from the  occurrence  of the  Servicing
Trigger  to the end of the  Calendar  Quarter  in  which  such  Servicing  Trigger  occurs,  which  term may at the
Certificate  Insurer’s  discretion  be  extended  by written  notice to the  Trustee  and the Master  Servicer  for
successive  terms of three (3) calendar  months each,  until the termination of the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer
will,  upon the receipt of each such notice of extension (a “Master  Servicer  Extension  Notice”) become bound for
the duration of the term covered by such Master Servicer  Extension  Notice to continue as Master Servicer  subject
to and in accordance  with this  Agreement.  If, as of the  fifteenth  (15th) day prior to the last day of any term
as the Master  Servicer,  the  Trustee  shall not have  received  any Master  Servicer  Extension  Notice  from the
Certificate  Insurer,  the Trustee shall,  within five (5) days thereafter,  give written notice of such nonreceipt
to the Certificate  Insurer and the Master Servicer.  If any such term expires without a Master Servicer  Extension
Notice then the Trustee shall act as successor Master Servicer as provided in Section 7.02.

         (e)      No  provision  of this  Section  7.05  shall  have the  effect  of  limiting  the  rights  of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer under Section 7.01.

                                                   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  and the Certificate  Insurer 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  and the  Trustee  shall  furnish in a timely  fashion to the
Certificate  Insurer such  information in its  possession as the  Certificate  Insurer may reasonably  request from
time to time for the  Certificate  Insurer to protect its interests and to fulfill its duties under the Certificate
Guaranty  Insurance  Policy.  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  Certificate  Insurer
         or 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 Certificate Insurer, 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.

         (e)      Each Class SB  Certificateholder  agrees to provide any  certification  acceptable to the Trustee
to enable the Trust to make payments of principal  and interest on the Class SB  Certificates  without  withholding
or  backup  withholding  taxes.  Each  Class  SB  Certificateholder  agrees  to  update  or  replace  such  form or
certification  in  accordance  with its terms or its  subsequent  amendments  and  consents to the  delivery by the
Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee to the Swap  Counterparty of any such  certification.  Such  certification may
include Form W-8BEN,  Form W-8IMY,  Form W-9 or Form W-8ECI or any successors to such IRS forms.  If the Trust Fund
becomes  subject to deduction,  withholding,  or other charge or assessment  from, or with respect to,  payments to
any Class SB Certificateholder  for any present or future tax, duty,  assessment,  or governmental charge, then the
Trustee shall  indicate the amount  withheld to such Class SB  Certificateholders.  Such amounts shall be deemed to
have been distributed to such Class SB Certificateholders for all purposes of this Agreement.

         (f)      The  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,  on behalf of the  Supplemental  Interest Trust,  upon
receipt of the  requisite  tax  identification  number from or on behalf of RFC, (i) shall  authorize,  execute and
deliver a United States  Internal  Revenue  Service Form W-9 or successor  applicable  form,  or other  appropriate
United States tax forms as may be required to prevent  withholding or backup  withholding  taxes on payments to the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust under the Swap  Agreement,  to the Swap  Counterparty  on or before the first payment
date under the Swap  Agreement and  thereafter  prior to the  expiration or  obsolescence  of such form and (ii) if
permitted by the Class SB  Certificateholders,  shall, if requested by the Swap  Counterparty,  deliver to the Swap
Counterparty  promptly upon receipt each certification  received from the Class SB  Certificateholders  pursuant to
Section 8.01(e).

         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, or the Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable,  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
         the  Certificate  Insurer or any of the  Certificateholders  pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
         unless (a) the Certificate Insurer or such  Certificateholders,  as applicable,  shall have offered to the
         Trustee  reasonable  security  or  indemnity  against the costs,  expenses  and  liabilities  which may be
         incurred  therein or thereby and (b) the  Certificate  Insurer has given its  consent;  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 Certificate  Insurer or the Holders of Certificates  of any Class  evidencing,  as to such
         Class,  Percentage  Interests,  aggregating  not less than 50% with the written consent of the Certificate
         Insurer;  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 (or the Certificate Insurer, if the Certificate  requested
         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®  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 Swap 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  and having a sufficient  rating so as to maintain the then current
ratings of the  Certificates.  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,  the Master  Servicer and the  Certificate  Insurer.  Upon receiving such
notice of  resignation,  the Depositor  shall promptly  appoint a successor  trustee  acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer 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 Certificate  Insurer
may appoint a  successor  trustee  and if the  Certificate  Insurer  fails to do so within 30 days,  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  Certificate  Insurer or the Depositor
with the consent of the Certificate Insurer,  which such consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  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
Certificate  Insurer or the Depositor  (with the consent of the Certificate  Insurer,  which such consent shall not
be  unreasonably  withheld),  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 Certificate  Insurer or the Depositor  determines that the
Trustee has failed (i) to make a required claim under the  Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance  Policy of which it has
been  notified   pursuant  to  Section   4.11(a)  or  failed  to  distribute   or  cause  to  be   distributed   to
Certificateholders  any amount  required to be  distributed  hereunder  (including  any Insured  Payment),  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 or
the Certificate Insurer,  then the Depositor with the consent of the Certificate  Insurer,  which consent shall not
be unreasonably  withheld,  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 (without taking into account the Certificate Guaranty Insurance Policy).

         (c)      During the continuance of a Certificate  Insurer  Default,  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,  the  Certificate  Insurer 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 10days 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,  the Certificate  Insurer and the Depositor,  or
shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer,  the Certificate Insurer 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.     Swap Agreements.

         The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust Trustee is hereby  authorized and directed to, and agrees that it shall
(a) enter into the Swap  Agreement on behalf of the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust and (b) enter into the SB-A Swap
Agreement  on  behalf  of  (i)  the  Class  A   Certificateholders   on  the  one  hand,  and  (ii)  the  Class  SB
Certificateholders  on the other hand.  The  Supplemental  Interest  Trust Trustee shall be afforded all the rights
and protections provided to the Trustee as described in this Article VIII.

                                                    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 the
         sum of (A) 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) plus
         the  Certificate  Insurer  Premium  Modified Rate,  to, but not  including,  the first day of the month in
         which such  repurchase  price is  distributed,  including  payments of any amounts due to the  Certificate
         Insurer pursuant to the Insurance  Agreement and (B) any unpaid Swap Termination  Payment and any Net Swap
         Payments  payable  to the  Swap  Counterparty  (or  any  Swap  Termination  Payment  payable  to the  Swap
         Counterparty as a result of the exercise of the option provided for in this Section 9.01(a)(ii));

provided,  however,  that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21years 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.  No purchase  pursuant to clause (ii) of this
Section  9.01(a) is permitted if it would result in a draw on the Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance  Policy,  unless
the Certificate Insurer consents in writing.

         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  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  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,  the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,  the Swap
Counterparty  (so long as the Swap Agreement has not previously been  terminated)  and the Certificate  Insurer 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 and the
Certificate  Insurer)  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 and the  Certificate  Insurer.  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  and Class SB  Certificates  by the
Certificateholders  thereof,  the Trustee  and the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee,  as  applicable,  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  and Class SB  Certificates,  or (ii) if the Master  Servicer  elected to so  repurchase  the Mortgage
Loans or the  outstanding  Class A  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
Certificate  Insurer,  the  amount  of any  Cumulative  Insurance  Payment;  third,  with  respect  to the  Class A
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,  fourth,  to the  Certificate  Insurer,  any amounts  owed to it
pursuant to the Insurance  Agreement,  fifth, to the Swap Counterparty  (without  duplication of amounts payable to
the Swap  Counterparty  on such date in accordance with Section 4.02) any Swap  Termination  Payment payable to the
Swap  Counterparty  then  remaining  unpaid or which is due to the exercise of any early  termination  of the Trust
Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 and sixth, 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)      Any REMIC  hereunder,  as the case may be, shall be terminated  in accordance  with the following
additional  requirements,  unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Master
Servicer  have received an Opinion of Counsel  (which  Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the  Certificate  Insurer)  to the effect that the failure of any REMIC  created  hereunder  as the case may be, 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 REMIC I, REMIC II
         or REMIC III, as applicable,  and any other related  terminating REMICs, and specify the first day of such
         period in a statement  attached to REMIC I’s,  REMIC II's or REMIC  III’s,  as  applicable,  and any other
         related  terminating  REMICs’,  final Tax Return  pursuant to Treasury  Regulations  Section 1.860F 1. The
         Master Servicer also shall satisfy all of the  requirements  of a qualified  liquidation for 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  liquidating  REMICs 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 liquidating REMICs 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 any REMIC hereunder at the
expense of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                                                     ARTICLE X

                                                 REMIC PROVISIONS

         Section 10.01.    REMIC Administration.

         (a)      The REMIC  Administrator  shall make an election to treat all REMICs created hereunder as a REMIC
under the Code and, if  necessary,  under  applicable  state law.  Each such  election will be made on Form 1066 or
other appropriate  federal tax or information  return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the
taxable  year  ending  on the last day of the  calendar  year in which the  Certificates  are  issued.  The REMIC I
Regular  Interests  shall be designated  as the “regular  interests”  and  Component I of the Class R  Certificates
shall be designated  as the sole Class of “residual  interests”  in REMIC I. The REMIC II Regular  Interests  shall
be designated as the “regular  interests” and Component II of the Class R  Certificates  shall be designated as the
sole Class of  “residual  interests”  in REMIC II.  The REMIC III  Regular  Interests  shall be  designated  as the
“regular  interests”  and  Component  III of the Class R  Certificates  shall be  designated  as the sole  Class of
“residual  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 REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other than the
REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, REMIC III Regular Interest IO and the Certificates.

         (b)      The Closing  Date is hereby  designated  as the  “startup  day” of each REMIC  created  hereunder
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 REMIC in the manner  provided  under  Treasury  Regulations  Section1.860F-4(d)  and Treasury
Regulations Section  301.6231(a)(7)-1.  The REMIC Administrator,  as tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of
each REMIC in relation  to any tax matter or  controversy  involving  the Trust Fund and (ii)  represent  the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial  proceeding  relating to an examination or audit by any governmental  taxing
authority with respect  thereto.  The legal  expenses,  including  without  limitation  attorneys’ or  accountants’
fees, and costs of any such  proceeding and any liability  resulting  therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund
and the REMIC  Administrator  shall be  entitled  to  reimbursement  therefor  out of amounts  attributable  to the
Mortgage  Loans on deposit in the  Custodial  Account as provided by Section  3.10 unless such legal  expenses  and
costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC Administrator’s  willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence.  If
the REMIC  Administrator  is no longer the Master Servicer  hereunder,  at its option the REMIC  Administrator  may
continue its duties as REMIC  Administrator  and shall be paid  reasonable  compensation  not to exceed  $3,000 per
year by any successor Master Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.

         (d)      The REMIC  Administrator  shall  prepare or cause to be prepared  all of the Tax Returns  that it
determines  are required with respect to the REMICs  created  hereunder  and the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust and
deliver  such Tax  Returns in a timely  manner to the  Trustee  or the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee,  as
applicable,  and the Trustee or the  Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,  as applicable  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 or the Supplemental  Interest Trust Trustee,  as applicable,  with respect to any tax or liability  arising
from the  Trustee’s or the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust  Trustee’s,  as  applicable,  signing of Tax Returns that
contain  errors or omissions.  The Trustee,  the  Supplemental  Interest  Trust 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
Certificate Insurer and 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  (and is not  adverse to the  interest  of the  Certificate
Insurer),  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  Certificate  Insurer  and 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,  the Certificate
Insurer 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  Section1.860G-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 January 25, 2037, 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 and the  Certificate
Insurer have 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  Certificate  Insurer,  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  Certificate  Insurer,  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  Certificate
Insurer,  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 Certificate Insurer, 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 Certificate  Insurer,
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  Certificate  Insurer,  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.

                                                    ARTICLE XI

                                             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,  with the consent of the  Certificate  Insurer but 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 (without taking into account the Certificate
         Guaranty Insurance Policy), 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 and the Certificate  Insurer 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
Section1.860G-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  or the Certificate  Insurer,  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 GMAC
LLC, 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)      [Reserved]

         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  Certificate  Insurer or 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  or
the Certificate Insurer.

         (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

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  and the  Certificate  Insurer 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 Certificate  Insurer shall have given
its  written  consent  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.

of any such Class,  as to which the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (or 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

consent thereto if their respective  interests would not be materially  adversely  affected thereby.  To the extent

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
to the tax on prohibited  transaction as defined in Section  860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to
a REMIC as set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code.

         Section 11.09.    Third Party Beneficiary.

         The Swap  Counterparty  is an express  third party  beneficiary  of Sections  4.02(c)(x)  and 4.10 of this
Agreement,  and shall have the right to enforce the  provisions of Sections  4.02(c)(x)  and 4.10 of this Agreement
as if it were a party hereto

         Section 11.10.    Rights of the Certificate Insurer.

promptly upon the Trustee’s production or receipt thereof.

         (c)      Unless a Certificate  Insurer  Default  exists,  the Trustee and the Depositor shall not agree to
any  amendment to this  Agreement  without  first  having  obtained the prior  written  consent of the  Certificate
Insurer.

         (d)      So long as there does not exist a failure by the Certificate  Insurer to make a required  payment
under either Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance Policy, the Certificate  Insurer shall have the right to exercise all
rights of the Holders of the Class A  Certificates  under this Agreement  without any consent of such Holders,  and
such Holders may exercise such rights only with the prior written  consent of the  Certificate  Insurer,  except as
provided herein.

         The  Certificate  Insurer  shall not be entitled to exercise any of its rights  hereunder so long as there
exists a failure by the Certificate  Insurer to make a required  payment under the Certificate  Guaranty  Insurance
Policy.

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.

         (a)      The Trustee  shall be deemed to  represent  to the  Depositor  as of the Closing Date 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

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.

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

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:

omission to state in the Trustee  Information a material fact required to be stated in the Trustee  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 (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by
reference to the Trustee  Information  and not to any other  information  communicated in connection with a sale 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

required by the Trustee and (ii)  cooperate  with the  Depositor  to mitigate any damages that may result from such
failure.

of the  Trustee,  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) any untrue  statement  of a material  fact  contained  or
alleged 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.

                  evidencing a  percentage  interest in the  distributions  allocable to
                  the Class A-[_]  Certificates  with respect to a Trust Fund consisting
                  primarily of a pool of [fixed] [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 GMAC Mortgage Group,  LLC or any of their  affiliates.  Neither this  Certificate nor
the underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental  agency or instrumentality or
by Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group,
LLC or any of their affiliates.  None of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or
any of their  affiliates  will have any obligation  with respect to any  certificate  or other  obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This  certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered  owner of the Percentage  Interest  evidenced
by this  Certificate in certain  distributions  with respect to the Trust Fund consisting  primarily of an
interest in a pool of [fixed]  [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.

         Each  holder  of this  certificate  is  deemed  to  represent  that as of any  date  prior to the
termination of the Supplemental  Interest Trust,  either it is not a Plan Investor or at least one of U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction Class Exemptions 84-14,  90-1,  91-38,  95-60,  96-23 or other
applicable  exemption  applies to such holder's right to receive payments from the  Supplemental  Interest
Trust.  Any purported  Certificate  owner whose  acquisition or holding of this  Certificate  (or interest
herein) was effected in  violation of the  restrictions  in Section  5.02(e) of the Pooling and  Servicing
Agreement  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless the  Depositor,  the  Trustee,  the Master  Servicer,  any
Subservicer,  and the Trust Fund from and  against  any and all  liabilities,  claims,  costs or  expenses
incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

         Notwithstanding  the above,  the final  distribution on this  Certificate  will be made after due
notice  of the  pendency  of  such  distribution  and  only  upon  presentation  and  surrender  of,  this
Certificate  at the office or agency  appointed by the Trustee for that  purpose in St.  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  Holder  of the  Class SB  Certificates  or the  Master  Servicer,  as  described  in the
Agreement,  from the Trust Fund of all remaining  Mortgage  Loans and all property  acquired in respect of
such  Mortgage  Loans or the  Certificates,  in either case  thereby  effecting  early  retirement  of the
Certificates.  The Agreement  permits,  but does not require,  the Holder of the Class SB  Certificates or
the Master  Servicer,  as described in the Agreement,  (i) to purchase,  at a price determined as provided
in the Agreement,  all remaining  Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
or  (ii) to  purchase  in  whole,  but not in part,  all of the  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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

                                                              U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

                  evidencing a  percentage  interest in the  distributions  allocable to
                  the Class M-[_]  Certificates  with respect to a Trust Fund consisting
                  primarily of a pool of [fixed] [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 GMAC Mortgage Group,  LLC or any of their  affiliates.  Neither this  Certificate nor
the underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental  agency or instrumentality or
by Residential  Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master  Servicer,  the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group,
LLC or any of their affiliates.  None of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or
any of their  affiliates  will have any obligation  with respect to any  certificate  or other  obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This  certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered  owner of the Percentage  Interest  evidenced
by this  Certificate in certain  distributions  with respect to the Trust Fund consisting  primarily of an
interest in a pool of [fixed]  [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 M-[_]   Certificates  on  such
Distribution Date.

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

         Any  Transferee of this  Certificate  (or interest  therein)  acquired  after  termination of the
Supplemental  Interest  Trust will be deemed to have  represented  by virtue of its purchase or holding of
this  Certificate (or interest  therein) that either (a) such  transferee is not an employee  benefit plan
or other plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited  transaction  provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended  ("ERISA"),  or Section 4975 of the Code or a person (including an
insurance company  investing its general account,  an investment  manager,  a named fiduciary or a trustee
of any such plan) who is using  "plan  assets" of any such plan to effect  such  acquisition  (each of the
foregoing,  a "Plan  Investor"),  (b) it has acquired and is holding this  Certificate in reliance on U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction  Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, 59 Fed. Reg. 14674 (March 29, 1994),
as most recently amended by PTE 2002-41,  67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "RFC Exemption"),  and
that it understands that there are certain  conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption  including
that this  Certificate  must be rated, at the time of purchase,  not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent)
by  Standard & Poor's,  Fitch or Moody's  or (c) (i) the  transferee  is an  insurance  company,  (ii) the
source of funds used to purchase or hold this  certificate is an "insurance  company general  account" (as
defined in U.S.  Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction  Class Exemption  ("PTCE") 95-60),  and (iii)
the conditions  set forth in PTCE 95-60 have been  satisfied  (each entity that satisfies this clause (c),
a "Complying  Insurance  Company").  Each holder of this  Certificate that is a Plan Investor is deemed to
represent  that as of any date prior to the  termination of the  Supplemental  Interest Trust at least one
of U.S.  Department of Labor Prohibited  Transaction Class Exemptions 84-14, 90-1, 91-38,  95-60, 96-23 or
other  applicable  exemption  applies to such holder's  right to receive  payments  from the  Supplemental
Interest Trust.

         If this  Certificate  (or any  interest  therein) is acquired or held by any person that does not
satisfy the  conditions  described in the preceding  paragraph,  then the last preceding  transferee  that
either (i) is not a Plan Investor or (ii)  acquired such  Certificate  in compliance  with the  conditions
described  above shall be  restored,  to the extent  permitted  by law, to all rights and  obligations  as
Certificate  owner  thereof  retroactive  to the date of such  transfer of this  Certificate.  The Trustee
shall be under no  liability  to any  person  for  making any  payments  due on this  Certificate  to such
preceding  transferee.  Any purported  Certificate  owner whose acquisition or holding of this Certificate
(or interest  therein) was effected in  violation of the  restrictions  in Section  5.02(e) of the Pooling
and  Servicing  Agreement  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless the  Depositor,  the  Trustee,  the Master
Servicer, any Subservicer,  and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,  claims, costs or
expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

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

         This  Certificate is one of a duly  authorized  issue of  Certificates  issued in several Classes
designated as Home Equity Mortgage Asset-Backed  Pass-Through  Certificates of the Series specified hereon
(herein collectively called the "Certificates").

         The  Certificates  are  limited  in  right of  payment  to  certain  collections  and  recoveries
respecting the Mortgage  Loans,  all as more  specifically  set forth herein and in the Agreement.  In the
event Master  Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan,  such advance is reimbursable
to the Master  Servicer,  to the  extent  provided  in the  Agreement,  from  related  recoveries  on such
Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.

         As provided in the  Agreement,  withdrawals  from the Custodial  Account  and/or the  Certificate
Account  created for the benefit of  Certificateholders  may be made by the Master  Servicer  from time to
time for  purposes  other than  distributions  to  Certificateholders,  such  purposes  including  without
limitation  reimbursement  to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain  expenses
incurred, by either of them.

         The Agreement permits,  with certain exceptions therein provided,  the amendment of the Agreement
and the  modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer and the Trustee
and the rights of the  Certificateholders  under the  Agreement  from time to time by the  Depositor,  the
Master  Servicer  and the  Trustee  with the  consent of the  Holders of  Certificates  evidencing  in the
aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage  Interests of each Class of  Certificates  affected thereby.
Any such  consent by the Holder of this  Certificate  shall be  conclusive  and binding on such Holder and
upon all future holders of this  Certificate and of any Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange  herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the  Certificate.
The  Agreement  also permits the  amendment  thereof in certain  circumstances  without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain  additional  circumstances,  without the consent of the
Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  therein set forth, the transfer
of this  Certificate is registrable in the  Certificate  Register upon surrender of this  Certificate  for
registration  of  transfer at the offices or agencies  appointed  by the Trustee in St.  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  Holder  of the  Class SB  Certificates  or the  Master  Servicer,  as  described  in the
Agreement,  from the Trust Fund of all remaining  Mortgage  Loans and all property  acquired in respect of
such  Mortgage  Loans or the  Certificates,  in either case  thereby  effecting  early  retirement  of the
Certificates.  The Agreement  permits,  but does not require,  the Holder of the Class SB  Certificates or
the Master  Servicer,  as described in the Agreement,  (i) to purchase,  at a price determined as provided
in the Agreement,  all remaining  Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
or  (ii) to  purchase  in  whole,  but not in part,  all of the  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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

                                                              U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

                  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] [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, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their  affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the
underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental  agency or  instrumentality or by
Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or
any of their affiliates.  None of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of
their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other  obligation  secured by
or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This certifies that  [______________________________]  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]  [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 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.

         Any purported  Certificate  owner whose  acquisition or holding of this  Certificate (or interest
therein) was effected in violation of the  restrictions  in Section  5.02(e) of the Pooling and  Servicing
Agreement  shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless the  Depositor,  the  Trustee,  the Master  Servicer,  any
Subservicer,  and the Trust Fund from and  against  any and all  liabilities,  claims,  costs or  expenses
incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

         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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

                                                              U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

                  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] [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, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their  affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the
underlying  mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental  agency or  instrumentality or by
Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  the Master Servicer,  the Trustee, GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or
any of their affiliates.  None of the Depositor,  the Master Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of
their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other  obligation  secured by
or payable from payments on the Certificates.

         This  certifies  that  [Residential  Funding  Company,  LLC]  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]  [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 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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

                                                              U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

                                       FORM OF CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT

         THIS  CUSTODIAL  AGREEMENT  (as amended and  supplemented  from time to time,  the  "Agreement"),

                                       W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:

         WHEREAS,  the  Company,  the Master  Servicer,  and the Trustee  have  entered into a Pooling and
Servicing  Agreement,  dated as of March 1, 2007, relating to the issuance of Residential Asset Securities
Corporation,  Home Equity Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through  Certificates,  Series 2007-KS3 (as in effect
on the date of this Agreement,  the "Original  Pooling  Agreement," and as amended and  supplemented  from
time to time, the "Pooling Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS,  the  Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee for the purposes of receiving
and holding  certain  documents  and other  instruments  delivered by the Company and the Master  Servicer
under  the  Pooling  Agreement,  all  upon  the  terms  and  conditions  and  subject  to the  limitations
hereinafter set forth;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and the mutual  covenants  and  agreements
hereinafter set forth,  the Trustee,  the Company,  the Master Servicer and the Custodian  hereby agree as
follows:

                                                ARTICLE I

                                               Definitions

         Capitalized  terms  used in this  Agreement  and not  defined  herein  shall  have  the  meanings
assigned in the Original Pooling Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

                                                ARTICLE II

                                      Custody of Mortgage Documents

         Section 2.1       Custodian to Act as Agent:  Acceptance of Custodial  Files. The Company and the
Master  Servicer  hereby  direct the  Trustee to appoint  Wells Fargo Bank,  National  Association  as the
Custodian  hereunder.  The  Custodian,  as the duly  appointed  agent of the Trustee  for these  purposes,
acknowledges  receipt of the Custodial  Files  relating to the Mortgage  Loans  identified on the schedule
attached  hereto (the  "Custodial  Files") and declares that it holds and will hold the Custodial Files as
agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

         Section 2.2       Recordation  of  Assignments.  If any  Custodial  File  includes  one  or  more
assignments  of the related  Mortgages to the Trustee that have not been  recorded,  each such  assignment
shall be  delivered by the  Custodian  to the Company for the purpose of  recording it in the  appropriate
public office for real property records,  and the Company, at no expense to the Custodian,  shall promptly
cause to be recorded in the  appropriate  public  office for real  property  records each such  assignment
and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment to the Custodian.

         Section 2.3       Review of Custodial Files.

                  (a)      On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian  shall deliver to the Trustee an
Initial  Certification  in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One  evidencing  receipt of a Custodial File
for each  Mortgage  Loan listed on the  Schedule  attached  hereto (the  "Mortgage  Loan  Schedule").  The
parties hereto  acknowledge  that certain  documents  referred to in Subsection  2.01(b)(i) of the Pooling
Agreement may be missing on or prior to the Closing Date and such missing  documents  shall be listed as a
Schedule to Exhibit One.

                  (b)      Within 45 days after the Closing Date,  the Custodian  agrees,  for the benefit
of  Certificateholders,  to  review  each  Custodial  File  and to  deliver  to  the  Trustee  an  Interim
Certification  in the form annexed  hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all documents  required to be
delivered  pursuant to Section 2.01 (b) of the Pooling  Agreement 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.  For purposes of such review, the
Custodian  shall  compare  the  following   information  in  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,  stating 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.

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")
in  the  preliminary  prospectus  supplement  relating  to  the  Certificates  and  the  final  prospectus
supplement  relating to the Certificates  does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material  fact  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.  For  purposes of this  Section 4.3,  "Determination  Date" shall mean,  with  respect to any
Distribution  Date, the 20th day (or if such 20th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day  immediately
following  such 20th day) of the month of the  related  Distribution  Date and  "Distribution  Date" shall
mean,  the 25th day of any month  beginning in March 2007 or, if such 25th day is not a Business  Day, the
Business Day immediately following such 25th day.

         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 WILL 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.

         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.

1122(d)(1)(i)                   Policies and procedures are instituted to monitor any performance
                                or other triggers and events of default in accordance with the
                                transaction agreements.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                If any material servicing activities are outsourced to third
                                parties, policies and procedures are instituted to monitor the
                                third party's performance and compliance with such servicing
1122(d)(1)(ii)                  activities.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                Any requirements in the transaction agreements to maintain a
1122(d)(1)(iii)                 back-up servicer for the pool assets are maintained.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                A fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy is in effect on the
                                party participating in the servicing function throughout the
                                reporting period in the amount of coverage required by and
                                otherwise in accordance with the terms of the transaction
1122(d)(1)(iv)                  agreements.

                                                 Cash Collection and Administration
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                Payments on pool assets are deposited into the appropriate
                                custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts no more
                                than two business days following receipt, or such other number of
1122(d)(2)(i)                   days specified in the transaction agreements.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                Disbursements made via wire transfer on behalf of an obligor or to
1122(d)(2)(ii)                  an investor are made only by authorized personnel.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                Advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows
                                or distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such
                                advances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified in the
1122(d)(2)(iii)                 transaction agreements.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                The related accounts for the transaction, such as cash reserve
                                accounts or accounts established as a form of
                                overcollateralization, are separately maintained (e.g., with
                                respect to commingling of cash) as set forth in the transaction
1122(d)(2)(iv)                  agreements.

                                institution" with respect to a foreign financial institution means
                                a foreign financial institution that meets the requirements of Rule
1122(d)(2)(v)                   13k-1(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act.

                                Unissued checks are safeguarded so as to prevent unauthorized

                                such other period specified in the transaction agreements; (B)

                                made on behalf of an obligor are paid from the servicer's funds and
                                not charged to the obligor, unless the late payment was due to the
1122(d)(4)(xii)                 obligor's error or omission.
------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
                                Disbursements made on behalf of an obligor are posted within two

                                 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 2007-KS3,  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          nonexempt   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.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf,  pursuant
to the  authority  of its Board of  Directors,  by its [Title of  Officer]  and its  corporate  seal to be
hereunto attached, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of ______________ 200__.

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 February  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 November 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 November 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.

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This letter is  delivered  to you in  connection  with the  transfer by  ________________________
(the "Seller") to  ______________________  (the "Purchaser") of $___________ Initial Certificate Principal
Balance  of   Mortgage   Asset-Backed   Pass-Through   Certificates,   Series   2007-KS3,   Class R   (the
"Certificates"),  pursuant to Section  5.02 of the Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  (the  "Pooling  and
Servicing  Agreement"),  dated as of March 1, 2007 among  Residential  Asset  Securities  Corporation,  as
depositor  (the  "Depositor"),  Residential  Funding  Company,  LLC,  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.

         4.       The Seller has no actual  knowledge  that the proposed  Transferee  is not both a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                  in particular,  in such matters related to securities similar to the Certificates,  such
                  that  it  is  capable  of  evaluating   the  merits  and  risks  of  investment  in  the
                  Certificates and (b) able to bear the economic risks of such an investment.

                           4.       The Purchaser has been  furnished  with, and has had an opportunity to
                  review  (a) [a copy of the  Private  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 Certificates,  the Mortgage Loans and
                  the Depositor as has been  requested by the  Purchaser  from 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
                  Certificates  and was  provided  with a copy of the Private  Placement  Memorandum  (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  nonexempt  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.

                                                              Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

"Purchaser") of $__________  Initial  Certificate  Principal Balance of Home Equity Mortgage Asset- Backed
Pass-Through Certificates,  Series 2007-KS3,  Class [SB] [R] (the "Certificates"),  issued pursuant to the

Residential Asset Securities  Corporation,  as depositor (the "Depositor"),  Residential  Funding Company,

hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Depositor and the Trustee that:

                  Neither  the Seller nor anyone  acting on its  behalf has (a)  offered,  pledged,  sold,

set forth in the  foregoing  sentence  with  respect to any  Certificate.  The Seller has not and will not
sell or otherwise  transfer any of the  Certificates,  except in  compliance  with the  provisions  of the

                                TEXT OF AMENDMENT TO POOLING AND SERVICING
                               AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.01(e) FOR A
                                             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  GMAC LLC of any  failure  of  Residential
Funding to make any payments  hereunder  and shall demand  payment  pursuant to the limited  guaranty (the
"Limited Guaranty"),  executed by GMAC LLC, of Residential  Funding's obligation to make payments pursuant
to this  Section,  in an amount  equal to the lesser of (i) the Amount  Available  and (ii) such  required
payments,  by delivering  to GMAC LLC a written  demand for payment by wire  transfer,  not later than the
second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such month, with a copy to the Master Servicer.

                  (e)      All payments made by  Residential  Funding  pursuant to this Section or amounts
paid under the Limited Guaranty shall be deposited directly in the Certificate  Account,  for distribution
on the Distribution Date for such month to the Class 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 GMAC LLC as of the date of
issuance of the Limited  Guaranty and (b) the rating of the long term debt  obligations of GMAC LLC at the
date of such  substitution  and (C) 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.

                               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

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 March 1, 2007 among Residential  Funding Company,  LLC, 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

         under  applicable  law, will not  constitute or result in any  nonexempt  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.

                  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  participants  are  exclusively  (a) plans  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,  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.

registered  investment  companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment  adviser or investment
advisers  that are  affiliated  (by virtue of being  majority  owned  subsidiaries  of the same  parent or

interest  trust  trustee (the "Pooling and Servicing  Agreement").  Each  reference to a "Section" or to a
"Section" "of this  Agreement"  will be construed as a reference to a Section of the 1992 ISDA Form Master
Agreement.  Each  capitalized  term used herein that is not defined herein or in the 1992 ISDA Form Master
Agreement  shall  have the  meaning  defined  in the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement.  Notwithstanding
anything  herein to the contrary,  should any provision of this  Agreement  conflict with any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall apply.
