Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other
insurance company) of any of the
foregoing or replacements thereof or substitutions therefor,
proceeds of proceeds and the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any thereof. The
foregoing transfer, sale,

any other Person in connection
with the Pledged Assets or under any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, including any
obligation to the Mortgagor, other than as owner of the Pledged
Asset Loan.
The Company and RFC intend that the conveyance by RFC to the
Company of all its
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Section 2 shall be,
and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by RFC to the
Company. It is, further, not
intended that such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by RFC to the
Company to secure a debt or other obligation of RFC. However, in
the event that the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of RFC, or if for any reason this
Agreement is held or deemed
to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is
intended that (a) this
Agreement shall be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the
Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial
Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section
shall be deemed to be, and
hereby is, a grant by RFC to the Company of a security interest
in all of RFC's right, title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to
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

respect to each Mortgage Loan
other than a Cooperative Loan or Sharia Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, any insurance policies and all other documents in the
related Mortgage File,
(B) all monies due or to become due pursuant to the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the

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; (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 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
(including, without limitation,
Sections 8-106, 9-313 and 9-106 thereof); and (d) notifications
to persons holding such

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. RFC
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were determined to
create a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such
security interest would be
determined 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, RFC shall prepare and deliver to
the Company not less than 15
days prior to any filing date, and the Company shall file, or
shall cause to be filed, at
the expense of RFC, 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 Company's security interest in or lien on the
Mortgage Loans, including without
limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned
by (1) any change of name of RFC or the Company, (2) any change
of location of the place of
business or the chief executive office of RFC or, (3) any
transfer of any interest of RFC in
any Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer shall
retain all servicing
rights (including, without limitation, primary servicing and
master servicing) relating to
or arising out of the Mortgage Loans, and all rights to receive
servicing fees, servicing
income and other payments made as compensation for such
servicing granted to it under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth therein
(collectively, the "Servicing Rights") and (ii) the Servicing
Rights are not included in the

lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than rights to
servicing and related
compensation and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the

payment of principal and
interest as of the Cut-off Date and no Mortgage Loan has been so

which, with notice and expiration of any grace or cure period,

breach, violation or event
of acceleration has been waived by the Seller or by any other
entity involved in originating
or servicing a Mortgage Loan;
(vii) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any

material respects with all

limited to, all applicable
anti-predatory lending laws;
(xiii) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights
and remedies of the holder adequate to realize the benefits of
the security against the
Mortgaged Property, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage that
is a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, (ii) by summary foreclosure, if available under
applicable law, and (iii)

trustee's sale or right to
foreclosure, subject in each case to applicable federal and
state laws and judicial
precedents with respect to bankruptcy and right of
redemption;
(xiv) With respect to each Mortgage that is a deed of trust, a
trustee duly qualified under
applicable law to serve as such is properly named, designated
and serving, and except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by a Mortgagor,
no fees or expenses are
