This is the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 24,

2005 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement" or "Agreement"), among RESIDENTIAL

ASSET MORTGAGE PRODUCTS, INC., as the company (together with its permitted

successors and assigns, the "Company"), GMAC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as servicer

(together with its permitted successors and assigns, the "Servicer"), and

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., an association organized under the laws of the United

States, as Trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the

"Trustee").

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Company intends to sell mortgage-backed pass-through certificates

(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in fourteen 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 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.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Company,

the 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

any Class of Certificates, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual

Period at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance

thereof immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate

Interest on each Class of Certificates will be calculated on the basis of a

360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months.

With respect to each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest on

any Class of Certificates will be reduced by the amount of:

(i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in the

related Loan Group prepaid during the prior calendar month and,

in the case of a Principal Prepayment in Full, during the related

Prepayment Period (to the extent not offset by the Servicer with

a payment of Compensating Interest),

(ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate (or the

Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage

Loan)) of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related

Loan Group (including Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud

Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary Losses) not

allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of Certificates

pursuant to Section 4.05,

(iii) the interest portion of Advances that were made with respect to

delinquencies related to Mortgage Loans or REO Property in the

related Loan Group that were ultimately determined to be Excess

Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy

Losses or Extraordinary Losses, and

(iv) any other interest shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in the

related Loan Group not covered by the subordination provided by

the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, including

interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor pursuant to

the Relief Act,

with the Senior Percentage of all such reductions with respect to the Mortgage

Loans in a Loan Group being allocated among the related Senior Certificates in

proportion to the amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest payable from the

related Loan Group on such Distribution Date absent such reductions, with the

remainder of such reductions allocated among the holders of the Class M

Certificates and Class B Certificates on the basis of their respective amounts

of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable on such

Distribution Date absent such reductions. In addition to that portion of the

reductions described in the preceding sentence that are allocated to any Class

of Class B Certificates or any Class of Class M Certificates, Accrued

Certificate Interest on such Class of Class B Certificates or such Class of

Class M Certificates will be reduced by the interest portion (adjusted to the

Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely to such Class of

Class B Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates pursuant to Section

4.05.

Affiliate: With respect to any Person, any other Person controlling,

controlled by or under common control with such first Person. For the purposes

of this definition, "control" means the power to direct the management and

of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and

"controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Aggregate Subordinate Percentage: With respect to any Distribution Date,

the percent equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate

Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates immediately prior

to such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the Pool Stated

Principal Balance as of such Distribution Date.

Amount Held for Future Distribution: With respect to any Distribution

Date and with respect to each Loan Group, the total of the amounts held in the

Custodial Account at the close of business on the related Determination Date on

account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries, Insurance Proceeds,

Curtailments, Mortgage Loan purchases made pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04 or

4.07 and Mortgage Loan substitutions made pursuant to Section 2.04 received or

made in the month of such Distribution Date (other than such Liquidation

Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and purchases of Mortgage

Loans that the Servicer has deemed to have been received in the preceding month

in accordance with Section 3.07(b)), and Principal Prepayments in Full received

or made after the related Prepayment Period, and (ii) payments which represent

early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or

dates subsequent to the related Due Date.

Appraised Value: As to any Mortgaged Property, the lesser of (i) the

appraised value of such Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made at the

time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the sales price

of the Mortgaged Property at such time of origination, except in the case of a

Mortgaged Property securing a refinanced or modified Mortgage Loan as to which

it is either the appraised value determined above or the appraised value

determined in an appraisal at the time of refinancing or modification, as the

case may be, provided that if permitted by the applicable underwriting standards

of GMACM, the Appraised Value shall be the value of the Mortgaged Property as

stated by the Mortgagor.

Assignment: An assignment of the Mortgage, notice of transfer or

equivalent instrument, in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the

jurisdiction wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of

record the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for the benefit of

Certificateholders, which assignment, notice of transfer or equivalent

instrument may be in the form of one or more blanket assignments covering

Mortgages secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same county, if

permitted by law and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to that effect.

Assignment of Proprietary Lease: With respect to a Cooperative Loan, the

assignment of the related Cooperative Lease from the Mortgagor to the originator

of the Cooperative Loan.

Available Distribution Amount: With respect to any Distribution Date and

each Loan Group, an amount equal to (a) the sum of (i) the amount relating to

the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as of the close of

business on the immediately preceding Determination Date, including any

 

5

<PAGE>

Subsequent Recoveries, and amounts deposited in the Custodial Account in

connection with the substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, (ii)

the amount of any Advance made on the immediately preceding Payment Account

Deposit Date, (iii) any amount deposited in the Payment Account on the related

Payment Account Deposit Date pursuant to the second paragraph of Section

3.12(a), (iv) any amount deposited in the Payment Account pursuant to Section

4.07, and (v) any amount that the Servicer is not permitted to withdraw from the

Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.16(e), reduced by (b) the sum as of the

close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date of (w)

aggregate Foreclosure Profits, (x) the Amount Held for Future Distribution and

(y) amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer from the Custodial Account

in respect of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clauses (ii)-(x), inclusive, of

Section 3.10(a). Such amount shall be determined separately for each Loan Group.

Additionally, if on any Distribution Date Compensating Interest provided

pursuant to Section 3.16(e) is less than Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred

on the Mortgage Loans in connection with Principal Prepayments in Full received

during the related Prepayment Period and Curtailments made in the prior calendar

month, such Compensating Interest shall be allocated on such Distribution Date

to the Available Distribution Amount for each Loan Group on a pro rata basis in

accordance with the respective amounts of such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls

incurred on the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group in respect of such

Distribution Date.

Bankruptcy Amount: As of any date of determination prior to the first

anniversary of the Cut-off Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A)

$150,000 over (B) the aggregate amount of Bankruptcy Losses allocated solely to

one or more specific Classes of Certificates in accordance with Section 4.05. As

of any date of determination on or after the first anniversary of the Cut-off

Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of

(1) the lesser of (a) the Bankruptcy Amount calculated as of the

close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the most

recent anniversary of the Cut-off Date coinciding with or preceding such

date of determination (or, if such date of determination is an

anniversary of the Cut-off Date, the Business Day immediately preceding

such date of determination) (for purposes of this definition, the

"Relevant Anniversary") and (b) the greater of

(A) the greater of (i) 0.0006 times the aggregate

principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans in the

Mortgage Pool as of the Relevant Anniversary having a

Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination which exceeds 75% and

(ii) $100,000; and

(B) (i) if the aggregate principal balance of the

Non-Primary Residence Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary

is less than 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of the

Mortgage Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary, $0.00, or

(ii) if the aggregate principal balance of the Non-Primary

Residence Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary is equal to

or greater than 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of the

Mortgage Loans as of the Relevant Anniversary, the sum of

(I) the aggregate principal balance of the Non-Primary

Residence Loans with a Loan-to-Value Ratio of greater than

80.00% but less than or equal to 90.00% (other than

Additional Collateral Loans), times 0.25%, (II) the

aggregate principal balance of the Non-Primary Residence

Loans with a Loan-to-Value Ratio of greater than 90.00%

but less than or equal to 95.00% (other than Additional

Collateral Loans), times 0.50%, and (III) the aggregate

principal balance of the Non-Primary Residence Loans with

a Loan-to-Value Ratio of greater than 95.00% (other than

<PAGE>

(2) the aggregate amount of Bankruptcy Losses allocated solely to

one or more specific Classes of Certificates in accordance with Section

4.05 since the Relevant Anniversary.

The Bankruptcy Amount may be further reduced by the Servicer (including

accelerating the manner in which such coverage is reduced) provided that prior

to any such reduction, the Servicer shall (i) obtain written confirmation from

each Rating Agency that such reduction shall 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 and (ii) provide a copy of such written

confirmation to the Trustee.

Bankruptcy Code: The Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended.

Bankruptcy Loss: With respect to any Mortgage Loan, a Deficient

Valuation or Debt Service Reduction; provided, however, that neither a Deficient

Valuation nor a Debt Service Reduction shall be deemed a Bankruptcy Loss

hereunder so long as the Servicer has notified the Trustee in writing that the

Servicer is diligently pursuing any remedies that may exist in connection with

the representations and warranties made regarding the related Mortgage Loan and

either (A) the related Mortgage Loan is not in default with regard to payments

due thereunder or (B) delinquent payments of principal and interest under the

related Mortgage Loan and any premiums on any applicable primary hazard

insurance policy and any related escrow payments in respect of such Mortgage

Loan are being advanced on a current basis by the Servicer or a Subservicer, in

either case without giving effect to any Debt Service Reduction.

Book-Entry Certificate: Any Certificate registered in the name of the

Depository or its nominee.

Business Day: Any day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a

day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or the Commonwealth

or the Payment Account are at the time located) are required or authorized by

law or executive order to be closed.

Buydown Account: As defined in Section 3.21(a).

Buydown Funds: Any amount contributed by the seller of a Mortgaged

Property, the Company or other source in order to enable the Mortgagor to reduce

(a) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does

hereby assign to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders without

recourse all the right, title and interest of the Company in and to the Mortgage

Loans, including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the

Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and

interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date).

(b) In connection with such assignment, and contemporaneously with the delivery

of this Agreement, the Company does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the

Trustee, or to and with one or more Custodians, as the duly appointed agent or

agents of the Trustee for such purpose, the original Mortgage Note, with respect

to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed without recourse in blank, or in the

name of the Trustee as trustee, and signed by an authorized officer (which

endorsement shall contain either an original signature or a facsimile signature

of an authorized officer of GMACM, and if in the form of an allonge, the allonge

shall be stapled to the Mortgage Note), with all intervening endorsements

showing a complete chain of title from the originator to GMACM. If the Mortgage

Loan was acquired by the endorser in a merger, the endorsement must be by

"____________, successor by merger to [name of predecessor]". If the Mortgage

Loan was acquired or originated by the endorser while doing business under

another name, the endorsement must be by "____________ formerly known as

[previous name]."

In lieu of delivering the Mortgage Note relating to any Mortgage Loan, the

Company may deliver or cause to be delivered a lost note affidavit from the

Seller stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced or destroyed,

and, if available, a copy of each original Mortgage Note; provided, however,

that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the

Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Company, in lieu of delivering

the above documents, may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, if

any, or the Trustee, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all

amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loan in the Payment Account on the

Closing Date.

(c) All other documents contained in the Mortgage File and any original

documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not contained in the Mortgage File or

delivered to the Custodian, if any, or the Trustee are and shall be held by the

Servicer in trust as agent for the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan: (a) the original

recorded Mortgage (or evidence of submission to the recording office), (b) all

interim recorded assignments, (c) the original recorded modification agreement,

if required, or (d) evidence of title insurance (together with all riders

thereto, if any) satisfying the requirements of clause (I)(ii), (iv), (vi) or

(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, respectively, have not been delivered

to the Servicer concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such

document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public

recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment or

 

45

<PAGE>

modification agreement, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by

the appropriate recording office, in the case of clause (I)(ii), (iv) or (vi) of

the definition of Mortgage File, or because the evidence of title insurance has

not been delivered to the Seller by the title insurer in the case of clause

(I)(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, the Servicer shall use its

reasonable best efforts to obtain, (A) in the case of clause (I)(ii), (iv) or

(vi) of the definition of Mortgage File, such original Mortgage, such interim

assignment, or such modification agreement, with evidence of recording indicated

thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy

thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, or (B) in

the case of clause (I)(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, evidence of

title insurance.

(d) If any of the documents held by the Servicer pursuant to clause (c) above

are missing or defective in any other respect and such missing document or

defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders

in the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall request that GMACM either (i)

cure such defect in all material respects, (ii) substitute for such Mortgage

Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be

accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section

2.04, or (iii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase

Price within 90 days after the date on which GMACM was notified of such defect;

provided that if such 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. If GMACM fails to comply with such request by the

Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such missing document or

material defect and the Trustee shall notify GMACM of its obligation to comply

with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. It is understood and

agreed that the obligation of GMACM to cure a material defect in, or substitute

for, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission

of a constituent document exists, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting

such material defect or omission available to Certificateholders or the Trustee

on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage

Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the Trustee in

the Payment Account, or upon receipt by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a

Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall (i) release or cause to be released to

GMACM the related Mortgage Note, (ii) cause the Servicer to release to GMACM any

remaining documents in the related Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer,

and (iii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in

each case without recourse, as GMACM shall require as necessary to vest in GMACM

ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the

Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related

Mortgage Note.

(e) The Servicer shall keep in its possession (a) from time to time additional

original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan

and (b) any other documents required to be held by the Servicer.

Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the

Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee shall assign, sell, dispose of or transfer

any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or permit the Trust Fund

or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security

interest, pledge or other encumbrance of, any other Person.

The Servicer shall cause to be filed the UCC assignment and UCC

financing statement referred to in clause (II)(vii) and (x), respectively, of

the definition of Mortgage File. If any UCC assignment or amendment or UCC

financing statement, as applicable, is lost or returned unfiled to the Servicer

because of any defect therein, the Servicer shall prepare a substitute UCC

assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement, as applicable, or cure such

defect, and cause such UCC assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement,

 

46

<PAGE>

as applicable, to be filed in accordance with this paragraph. In connection with

its servicing of Cooperative Loans, the Servicer will use its reasonable best

efforts to file timely continuation statements with regard to each financing

statement and assignment relating to Cooperative Loans as to which the related

Cooperative Apartment is located outside of the State of New York.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the

MERS(R) System, the Servicer further agrees that it will cause, at the

Servicer's own expense, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the

MERS(R) System to indicate that such MortgagE Loans have been assigned 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 specific code which identifies the Trustee as the assignee of such

Mortgage Loan and (b) the series specific code in the field "Pool Field" which

identifies the series of Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage

Loans. The 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, and there is filed any financing statement or amendment

thereof necessary to comply with the New York Uniform Commercial Code or the

Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction.

(f) It is intended that the conveyance by the Company to the Trustee of the

Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by

the Company to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the

Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that such conveyance be deemed

to be a grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Loans by the Company to the

Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, if the

Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Company or of the Seller, 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 be and hereby

is a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform

Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for

in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, (1) a grant by the Company

to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company's right, title and

interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the following: (A)

the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the

related Mortgage Note, Security Agreement, Assignment of Proprietary Lease,

Cooperative Stock Certificate and Cooperative Lease, (ii) with respect to each

Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note and

Mortgage, and (iii) 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) 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 Payment Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of

cash, instruments, securities or other property, (D) all accounts, general

intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts,

goods, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and other minerals,

and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the

foregoing, and (E) all proceeds of the foregoing, and (2) an assignment by the

Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Seller'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 the Seller to the

Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee,

the Custodian or any other agent of the Trustee of any of the foregoing property

shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party, or possession by a

purchaser or a person holding for the benefit of such secured party, for

purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Pennsylvania

Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable

jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314 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, the Trustee (as

applicable) for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under

applicable law.

47

<PAGE>

The Company and, at the Company's direction, GMACM 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 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, the Company 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 Company, 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 the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by

an Officer's Certificate of the Company, including without limitation (x)

continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by

(1) any change of name of the Seller, the Company 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 type or jurisdiction of

organization of the Seller or the Company and (3) any transfer of any interest

of the Seller or the Company in any Mortgage Loan. The Company shall file or

cause to be filed the original filing necessary under the Uniform Commercial

Code to perfect the Trustee's security interest in the Mortgage Loans.

Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.

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

The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian, acting on behalf of the

Trustee, has received (subject to any exceptions noted in the custodian

certification described below) the Mortgage Notes and the Trustee declares that

it holds or will hold the assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund," in

trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future

Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to cause

the Custodian to review each Mortgage Note and to execute and deliver, or cause

to be executed and delivered, to GMACM, the Trustee and the Servicer a custodian

certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit M on or prior

to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in conducting such

review, the Custodian is required to ascertain whether the Mortgage Notes have

been executed and received, and whether the Mortgage Notes relate, determined on

the basis of the original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage

Loans. Neither the Custodian nor the Trustee shall be under any 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 are in recordable form or that they are other than what they

purport to be on their face.

If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Notes and preparing the

certifications referred to above, the Custodian finds any Mortgage Note to be

missing or contains any defect which materially and adversely affects the

interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Custodian

is required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, to notify the Trustee, the

Company and the Seller, and the Trustee shall request that GMACM cure any such

defect in all material respects within 90 days from the date on which GMACM was

notified of such defect, and if GMACM does not cure such defect in all material

respects during such period, the Trustee shall request on behalf of the

Certificateholders that GMACM either (i) substitute for such Mortgage Loan a

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in

the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.04, or (ii)

purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90

days after the date on which GMACM was notified of such defect; provided that if

such 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. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of GMACM to cure

a material defect in, or substitute for, or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to

which a material defect in, or omission of, a Mortgage Note exists shall

constitute the sole remedy respecting such material defect or omission available

to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The

Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to

 

48

<PAGE>

be deposited upon receipt by the Trustee in the Payment Account, or upon receipt

by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written

notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall

(i) release or cause to be released to GMACM the related Mortgage Note, (ii)

cause the Servicer to release to GMACM any remaining documents in the related

Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer, and (iii) execute and deliver such

instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,

representation or warranty, as GMACM shall require as necessary to vest in GMACM

ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the

Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related

Mortgage Note.

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

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

The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the

benefit of the Certificateholders that:

(i) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in

good standing under the laws governing its creation and existence and is

or will be in compliance with the laws of each state in which any

Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the

enforceability of each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of

this Agreement;

(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its

performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not

violate the Servicer's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or

constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse

of time, would constitute a material default) under, or result in the

material breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument

to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the

Servicer or any of its assets;

(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by

the Trustee and the Company, constitutes a valid, legal and binding

obligation of the 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 and to public policy as it relates to indemnification

and contribution under applicable securities laws;

(iv) The 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 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 Servicer's knowledge,

threatened against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into

this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement;

49

<PAGE>

(vi) The Servicer will comply in all material respects in the performance of

this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each

insurer under each Required Insurance Policy;

(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in

writing or report delivered to the Company, any Affiliate of the Company

or the Trustee by the Servicer will, to the knowledge of the 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; and

(viii) The Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in

all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in

connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered

with MERS.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in

this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Notes to the

Custodian, if any, or the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

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

The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of

Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in respect of the

Purchase Agreement insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the

representations and warranties made by the Seller in respect of the Mortgage

Loans and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such

representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced

by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the

discovery by the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee or any Custodian of a breach

of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Purchase

Agreement (which, for purposes hereof, will be deemed to include any other cause

giving rise to a repurchase obligation under the Purchase Agreement) in respect

of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of the

Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach

shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian being so

obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Servicer shall promptly notify the

Seller of such breach and request that the Seller either (i) cure such breach in

all material respects within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of

such breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the

Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the

case of a breach under the Purchase Agreement, the Seller, shall have the option

to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage

Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date;

provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a

"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such

cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the

breach was discovered. In the event that the Seller elects to substitute a

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant

to this Section 2.04, the Trustee shall notify the Seller to deliver to the

Custodian with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the

original Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01, and the Trustee

shall notify the Seller to deliver to the Servicer with respect to such

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage

in recordable form if required pursuant to Section 2.01, and such other

documents and agreements as are required to be held by the Servicer pursuant to

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 Servicer and remitted by the

Servicer to the Seller 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 the

 

50

<PAGE>

Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such

Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the

Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the

removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the 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, and the Seller

shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to

the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Purchase Agreement as of

the date of substitution.

In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute

Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will

determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all

such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less

than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans

(in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments

due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to the

Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Servicer shall deposit the

amount of such shortfall received from the Seller into the Custodial Account on

the day of substitution. The Servicer shall give notice in writing to the

Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's

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 either of the REMICs to

fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure

such breach or purchase (or to substitute for) such Mortgage Loan as to which a

breach of its representations and warranties has occurred and is continuing

shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the

Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. In connection

with the purchase of or substitution for any such Mortgage Loan by the Seller,

the Trustee shall assign, pursuant to an assignment delivered to the Trustee by

the Seller, to the Seller or its designee all of the right, title and interest

in respect of the Purchase Agreement applicable to such Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates.

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

The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and

the delivery of the Mortgage Notes to 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 and/or the applicable REMIC, receipt of which is

hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor,

the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Company executed by an

officer of the Company has executed and caused to be authenticated and delivered

to or upon the order of the Company the Certificates in authorized denominations

which evidence ownership of the entire Trust Fund.

Section 2.06. Purposes and Powers of the Trust Fund.

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

The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the

following activities:

(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage Loans;

(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to

accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and

 

51

<PAGE>

(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.

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 without the consent of the

Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the

Certificates.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

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

(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans, shall follow

such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as

shall be 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 Servicer in its own name or in the

name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the

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 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 Servicer or the Subservicer, as the

case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any

Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration

of anY Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of

the Trustee and thE Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments

of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment

or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the

Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with

the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the 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 Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to

Section 3.07(a), the 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

 

52

<PAGE>

REMIC formed under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney

and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service

and administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any

action taken by the Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such powers of

attorney. In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the

Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer (i) may perform services such as

appraisals and brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers

of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor in

accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf

of the Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a

credit repository.

(b) All costs incurred by the 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).

(c) The 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 Servicer of amounts received by

the 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 Servicer hereunder.

Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Servicer and

Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' and Seller's

Obligations.

The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers,

for the servicing and administration of all or some of the Mortgage Loans. Each

Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive and retain, as

provided in the related Subservicing Agreement and in Section 3.07, the related

Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on such Mortgage Loan after

payment of all amounts required to be remitted to the Servicer in respect of

such Mortgage Loan. Any Subservicing Fee shall be paid by the Servicer out of

the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loans. Unless the context otherwise

requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the

Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by

a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.

Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.

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

The 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

Servicer or the Subservicer, the 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.

Section 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.

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

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of

this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer or a

Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise,

the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the

Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in

accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such

 

53

<PAGE>

obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or

arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company

and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the

Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer

shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or the Seller

for indemnification of the 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 Servicer alone and the Trustee and the

Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,

rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer in

its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06.

Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.

(a) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including by

reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall

thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the 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 Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the 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

Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the

Subservicing Agreement.

(b) The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the

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 reasonable

efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Subservicing

Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to

Custodial Account.

(a) The 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 Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment

charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the

prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a

Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that

the 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. In the event of any such

arrangement, the Servicer shall make timely advances on the related Mortgage

Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of

such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements

unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates

affected thereby; provided, however, that no such extension shall be made if any

such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of

this Agreement, the 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 Servicer's

determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not

 

54

<PAGE>

materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into

account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);

provided, however, that the 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), or

extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan

is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably

foreseeable; and provided, further, that no such modification shall reduce the

interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the Servicing Fee Rate. In connection

with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, to the extent not

inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice, may

permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is

recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining Stated

Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on the original

Mortgage Rate; provided, that such re-amortization shall not be permitted if it

would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage Loan for federal income tax

purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury Regulation Section

1.860G-2(b)(3). The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in

litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,

Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with

respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing

the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment

is required is prohibited by applicable law.

(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received

pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and

general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts

held in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage Corporation Custodial Account in trust

for the benefit of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

Series 2005-AR1." Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. The

Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and

apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other

series, and the other accounts of the Servicer.

Within two Business Days of receipt, except as otherwise specifically

provided herein, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited the

following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in

respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in

respect of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans on or before the

Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(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 Net Mortgage Rate on

the Mortgage Loans, and the interest component of any Subservicer

Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO

Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred, minus the

amount of any interest paid by a Mortgagor in connection with a

Principal Prepayment in Full for the calendar month in which such

Principal Prepayment is to be distributed pursuant to Section

4.02;

(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation

Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the Subservicer);

55

<PAGE>

(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section

2.02, 2.04 or 4.07 and all amounts required to be deposited in

connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute

Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04;

(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c);

and

(vi) All amounts transferred from the Payment Account to the Custodial

Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a).

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be

exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality

of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust

Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and interest on the

Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in

the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may

but need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. In the event

any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so

deposited, the Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial

Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer

shall maintain records with respect to all deposits made pursuant to this

Section. All funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for

the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10.

With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds

and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02,

2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the 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

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 Servicer shall use commercially reasonable 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 Payment 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 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 Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any

right of reimbursement.

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 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 be acceptable to the Servicer and each Rating Agency.

The Subservicer will be required thereby to deposit into the Subservicing

Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the

Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed advances and expenses,

to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If the Subservicing

Account is not an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall be deemed to have

received such monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The Subservicer

shall not be required to deposit in the Subservicing Account payments or

collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late charges or assumption

 

56

<PAGE>

fees. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall cause the

Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the 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 Servicer.

(b) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Payment Account, the 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

be hold in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage Corporation Servicing Account in trust

for the benefit of the of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through

Certificates, Series 2005-AR1." 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 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. As

part of its servicing duties, the 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.

(c) The 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 Servicer shall be required so to advance

only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the

Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,

Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the

Mortgage Loans.

If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of

Certificates legal for investment by federally insured savings and loan

associations, the 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 Servicer. The

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 Servicer.

Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.

(a) The 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 Payment Account in the amounts and in the

manner provided for in Section 4.01;

 

57

<PAGE>

(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously

unreimbursed advances or 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 particular 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,

2.04 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 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 the

Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a

Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the amortization

schedule of the related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof

at the beginning of the period respecting which such interest was paid

after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;

(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any interest or

investment income earned on funds and other property deposited in or

credited to the Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw

pursuant to Section 3.07(c);

(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure

Profits, and any amounts remitted by Subservicers or received from

Mortgagors as interest in respect of Curtailments;

(vi) to pay the Seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property

acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or otherwise

transferred pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all amounts

received thereon and not required to be distributed to the

Certificateholders as of the date on which the related Stated Principal

Balance or Purchase Price is determined;

(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable

Advance or any Advance that was ultimately determined to be Excess

Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or

Extraordinary Losses in the manner and to the extent provided in

subsection (c) below, any Advance made in connection with a modification

of a Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the

Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to Section 3.07(a),

to the extent the amount of the Advance has been added to the

outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or any Advance

reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);

(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses incurred by and

reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b),

3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise;

(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant

to Section 3.14 in good faith in connection with the restoration of

property damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b) in connection with the

liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or disposition of an REO Property to the

extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above;

and

58

<PAGE>

(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not

required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07.

(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii),

(iii), (v) and (vi), the Servicer's entitlement thereto is

limited to collections or other recoveries on the related

Mortgage Loan, the 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. All permitted withdrawals pursuant to

clauses (iv), (vii), (viii) and (ix) shall be reimbursed from

collections on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group or,

if such reimbursement is not attributable to a specific Mortgage

Loan, shall be reimbursed from collections received on the

Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group, pro rata, based on the Stated

Principal Balance of each such Loan Group.

(c) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the related

Subservicer for any Advance made in respect of a Mortgage Loan

that the Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an

Advance that was ultimately determined to be Excess Special

Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or

Extraordinary Losses by withdrawal from the Custodial Account of

amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage Loans on

any Payment Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such

determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a

Nonrecoverable Advance on any such Payment 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 Servicer or the related

Subservicer).

Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies; Collections

Thereunder.

(a) The Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take, any action

which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy

of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or Subservicer, would

have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is available, the Servicer

shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect a Primary Insurance

Policy in the case of each Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at

origination in excess of 80%, until the principal balance of the related

Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80% or less of the

appraised value based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property

performed by a qualified appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the related

servicing file. The 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. In connection with any assumption or

substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section

3.13, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary

Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in

accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be

required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under

the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as

a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall

obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

59

<PAGE>

(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the

Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related

Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Servicer, the Subservicer, if any, the

Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer under any Primary

Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such policies, and, in

this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable action as shall be

necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting

defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any Insurance Proceeds

collected by or remitted to the 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 Hazard Insurance and Omissions and Fidelity

Coverage.

(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than

a Cooperative Loan) hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which

is equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of (A) the principal balance owing on

such Mortgage Loan and (B) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall

be sufficient to prevent the application of a co-insurance clause; or (ii) 100

percent of the insurable value of the improvements. If the Mortgaged Property is

in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency

Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has

federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be

maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current

guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable

insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of

(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum

insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the

maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also cause to be

maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of

foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), hazard

insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the

maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property,

liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as

provided above. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected by the 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 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 Servicer in maintaining any

such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions

to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,

notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall

be recoverable by the Servicer out of related late payments by the Mortgagor,

out of Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds or from amounts on deposit in

the Custodial Account 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. All such policies

shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the

Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty

days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or

material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere

with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier

or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such

insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently

reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable

to Fannie Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property

subject to the policy is located.

If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket hazard 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

 

60

<PAGE>

case the 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 Payment Account the amount not otherwise

payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such

deposit by the Servicer shall be made on the Payment 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 Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee

and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

(b) The 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 Servicer's officers

and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Servicer in connection

with its activities under this Agreement. The amount of coverage, taken

together, shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by

Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, with respect to the Servicer if the 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 Servicer

shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer,

as the case may be, meeting the requirements set forth above.

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 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, the Servicer

is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the

Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed

to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note

and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such

Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note

or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is

prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage

under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if

nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized,

subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification

agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to

be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage

Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains

liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if

so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required

Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.13(b), is also authorized

with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to

enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to

which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is

substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default

under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer

reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason

whatsoever.

(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the

extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property

is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into

an assumption or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or

Mortgage which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of

release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability

 

61

<PAGE>

on the Mortgage Loan, the 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, that in connection with any such assumption,

no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Upon receipt of

appropriate instructions from the Servicer in accordance with the foregoing, the

Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such assumption or

substitution of liability delivered to it by the Servicer and as directed in

writing by the Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by

such documents, the Servicer shall cause the originals or true and correct

copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if any), or the modification or

supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to the Trustee or

the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any

fee collected by the Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an

assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the

Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.

(c) The Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be

entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the

related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of

another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property

(or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Apartment)

without any right of reimbursement or other similar matters if it has

determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it

would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for,

and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be

adversely affected thereby and if it has also determined that any portion of the

applicable REMIC would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the Code

as a result thereof and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) that no tax on "prohibited

transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be imposed on such

REMIC as a result thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the related

Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Servicer or

such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.

(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the

Trustee and 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 Servicer with a "Lender Certification for Assignment of Mortgage

Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, in form and substance

satisfactory to the Trustee and Servicer, providing the following: (i) that the

substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a refinancing of such

Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed assignment will

have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or above the rate of

interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed assignment; and (iii) that

such assignment is at the request of the borrower under the related Mortgage

Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any

Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid

principal balance of and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan and the Servicer

shall treat such amount as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such

Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.

(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may modify any

Mortgage Loan to provide for bi-weekly payments in connection with its "Bi-Saver

Program" if requested to do so from the related Mortgagor; provided, however,

that the Servicer may not modify or permit any Subservicer to modify any

Mortgage Loan in accordance with this clause (e), if such Mortgage Loan is in

default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably

foreseeable; and provided, further, that upon such modification, the Servicer

shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price

therefor. If at any time the Servicer makes a payment to the Payment Account

covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the

Servicer provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer

 

62

<PAGE>

stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Payment

Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan

delivered to it by the Servicer at the request of the Servicer, without recourse

to or representation or warranty by the Trustee, to the 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 Servicer shall 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 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

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

(a) The 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. In connection with such foreclosure or other

conversion, the 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, as shall meet the

requirements of the Insurer under any Required Insurance Policy, and as shall be

consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. With respect to any REO

Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of

the Certificateholders. If the Trustee's name is placed on the title to such REO

Property, it shall be solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual

capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property

references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder. The Servicer,

however, shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur other

reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or attempted

foreclosure which is not completed, or towards the restoration of any property

unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will

increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of

Certificates of one or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such

expenses or charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will be recoverable

to it through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds

(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the

Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not such expenses and

charges are actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance

Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by the Servicer
