and, together with this Series Supplement, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"

or   "Agreement"),   among   RESIDENTIAL   ACCREDIT   LOANS,   INC.,   as   the   company

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

FUNDING CORPORATION,   as master servicer (together with its permitted successors

and assigns,   the "Master Servicer"),   and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS,

as Trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the "Trustee").

 

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

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

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

multiple   classes,   which in the aggregate   will evidence the entire   beneficial

ownership interest in the Trust Fund.

 

        The terms and provisions of the Standard   Terms are hereby   incorporated

by reference herein as though set forth in full herein. If any term or provision

contained   herein shall   conflict   with or be   inconsistent   with any   provision

contained   in the   Standard   Terms,   the terms   and   provisions   of this   Series

Supplement   shall govern.   All   capitalized   terms not otherwise   defined herein

shall   have the   meanings   set forth in the   Standard   Terms.   The   Pooling   and

Servicing Agreement shall be dated as of the date of this Series Supplement.

 

                                     REMIC I

 

         As provided   herein,   the REMIC   Administrator   will make an election to

Monthly Payment Fund), and 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." The REMIC I Regular

Interests   will be "regular   interests" in REMIC I and the Class R   Certificates

(with respect to the Class R-I Interest)   will   represent   ownership of the sole

class of "residual   interests"   in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC   Provisions

(as defined herein).

 

        The   following   table   irrevocably   sets   forth   the   designation,    the

I Regular   Interests   and the Class   R-I   Interest.   None of the REMIC I Regular

1        The   Certificates,   other   than the   Class B   Certificates   and   Class R

        Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates.   The Class B Certificates

        and the Class R Certificates   shall be delivered to the holders   thereof

        in physical form.

 

2        For purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations,

        the Distribution   Date   immediately   following the maturity date for the

        Mortgage Loan with the latest   maturity date has been   designated as the

        "latest possible maturity date" for each REMIC II Regular Interest.

 

3        The Certificates, other than the Class R Certificates, shall be issuable

        in minimum   dollar   denominations   as   indicated   above (by   Certificate

        Principal   Balance) and integral   multiples of $1 (or $1,000 in the case

        of the   Class   B-1,   Class B-2 and   Class   B-3   Certificates)   in excess

        thereof,   except that one Certificate of any of the Class B-1, Class B-2

        and Class B-3   Certificates   that   contain an uneven   multiple of $1,000

        shall   be   issued   in a   denomination   equal   to the sum of the   related

        minimum   denomination   set forth above and such uneven multiple for such

        Class   or the sum of   such   denomination   and an   integral   multiple   of

        $1,000.

 

4        The   Pass-Through   Rate   on the   Class   A-I,   Class   A-II   and   Class   R

        Certificates will be equal to the Net WAC Rates on the Mortgage Loans in

        the related Loan Group. The initial Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-I,

        Class   A-II and   Class R   Certificates   will be   equal to   approximately

        4.1075%, 5.1184% and 5.1184% per annum, respectively.

 

5        The Class R Certificates   shall be issuable in minimum   denominations of

        not less than a 20% Percentage   Interest;   provided,   however,   that one

        Class R   Certificate   will be   issuable to   Residential   Funding as "tax

        matters   person"   pursuant   to   Section   10.01(c)   and (e) in a   minimum

        denomination   representing a Percentage Interest of not less than 0.01%.

 

6        The Pass-Through Rate on the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1,

        Class   B-2 and   Class   B-3   Certificates   will be equal to the   weighted

        average of the Net WAC Rate on the   Mortgage   Loans in each Loan   Group,

        weighted in proportion to the results of subtracting   from the aggregate

        principal   balance of each related Loan Group the aggregate   certificate

        principal balance of the Senior Certificates related to that Loan Group.

        The initial   Pass-Through   Rate for the Class M Certificates and Class B

        Certificates will be equal to approximately 4.6091% per annum.

 

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

the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree as follows:

 

 

 

                                       3

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, as

to 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 will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve

30-day   months.   In each   case   Accrued   Certificate   Interest   on any   Class of

Certificates will be reduced by the amount of:

 

        (i)     Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Loan Group (to the

               extent   not   offset by the   Master   Servicer   with a   payment   of

               Compensating Interest as provided in Section 4.01),

 

         (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 for 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,

 

 

                                       4

<PAGE>

 

         (iii) the interest   portion of Advances that were (A)   previously   made

               with   respect to a Mortgage   Loan or REO Property for the related

               Loan   Group   which   remained   unreimbursed    following   the   Cash

               Liquidation   or REO   Disposition   of   such   Mortgage   Loan or REO

               Property   and (B) made with   respect to   delinquencies   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   for 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   Servicemembers

               Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended,   or similar   legislation or

               regulations as in effect from time to time.

 

        The   Group I Senior   Percentage   of such   reductions   in the case of the

Group I Loans will be allocated among the holders of the Class A-I Certificates.

The Group II Senior   Percentage   of such   reductions in the case of the Group II

Loans will be allocated to the holders of the Class A-II   Certificates and Class

R Certificates   in proportion to the respective   amounts of Accrued   Certificate

Interest   that   would   have   been   payable   from   the   Group   II   Loans   on that

Distribution   Date absent these   reductions.   The remainder of these   reductions

will be   allocated   among the   holders of the Class M   Certificates   and Class B

Certificates   in proportion   to the   respective   amounts of Accrued   Certificate

Interest   that would have been   payable on that   Distribution   Date absent these

reductions.   In the   case   of   each   class   of   Class   M   Certificates,   Accrued

Certificate   Interest on that class will be further reduced by the allocation of

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.

 

        Adjustment   Date: As to each Mortgage   Loan,   each date set forth in the

related   Mortgage   Note on   which an   adjustment   to the   interest   rate on such

Mortgage Loan becomes effective.

 

         Available   Distribution   Amount:   With   respect to each Loan Group,   the

excess of (i) the sum of (a) the amount described in the definition of Available

Distribution   Amount in the Standard   Terms and (b) the amount   allocated to the

Available   Distribution   Amount for such Loan Group pursuant to Section   4.02(h)

over (ii) any amount allocated to the Available Distribution Amount of any other

Loan Group pursuant to Section 4.02(h).

 

        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 of

this Series   Supplement.   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

 

                                       5

<PAGE>

 

        (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)      (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

        percentages on any Distribution Date as provided in Section 4.02 of this

        Series   Supplement   (determined   without   regard to the   proviso   to the

        definition of "Subordinate   Principal Distribution Amount") would result

        in a   distribution   in respect of   principal   of any Class or Classes of

        Subordinate   Certificates   in   an   amount   greater   than   the   remaining

        Certificate   Principal   Balance   thereof   (any such   class,   a "Maturing

        Class"),   then:   (a)   the   Prepayment   Distribution   Percentage   of each

        each Non-Maturing   Class shall be equal to the sum of (1) the Prepayment

        Distribution   Percentage   thereof,   calculated   in   accordance   with the

        provisions   in   paragraph   (ii)   above as if the   Certificate   Principal

         Balance of each   Maturing   Class had not been reduced to zero,   plus (2)

        and correct in all   material   respects   at the date or dates   respecting

        which such information is furnished;

 

               (iii)   The   Mortgage   Loans   are   fully-amortizing    (subject   to

        interest only periods, if applicable),   hybrid adjustable-rate   mortgage

        loans with   Monthly   Payments   due,   with   respect to a majority   of the

        Mortgage   Loans, on the first day of each month and terms to maturity at

        origination or modification of not more than 30 years;

 

               (iv) To the best of the Company's knowledge,   except with respect

        to one Mortgage   Loan   representing   approximate   0.1% of the   aggregate

        principal   balance of the Mortgage   Laons, if a Mortgage Loan is secured

        by a Mortgaged   Property with a   Loan-to-Value   Ratio at   origination in

        excess of 80%, such Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Primary   Insurance

        Policy that insures (a) at least 35% of the Stated Principal   Balance of

        the Mortgage Loan at origination if the   Loan-to-Value   Ratio is between

        100.00% and 95.01%,   (b) at least 30% of the Stated Principal Balance of

        companies whose claims-paying abilities are currently acceptable to each

        Rating Agency;

 

               (vi) No more than 4.3% of the Group I Loans by   aggregate   Stated

        by fire and other   hazards as required by the Program   Guide,   including

        flood   insurance if required under the National   Flood   Insurance Act of

        1968, as amended.   The Mortgage   requires the Mortgagor to maintain such

        casualty   insurance at the Mortgagor's   expense,   and on the Mortgagor's

        failure to do so,   authorizes   the holder of the   Mortgage to obtain and

        maintain   such   insurance   at   the   Mortgagor's    expense   and   to   seek

        reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

 

(viii)   Immediately   prior   to the   assignment   of   the   Mortgage   Loans   to the

        Mortgage   Loan   free   and   clear of any   pledge,   lien,   encumbrance   or

        security    interest    (other   than   rights   to   servicing    and   related

        compensation)   and such assignment   validly   transfers   ownership of the

        income/no asset program;

 

(x)      Except with respect to   approximately   16.89% of the   Mortgage   Loans by

Proceeds have not yet been distributed to the Certificateholders.

 

        (b)   Distributions   of   principal   on the   Senior   Certificates   on each

Distribution Date will be made as follows:

 

               (i) the Group I Senior   Principal   Distribution   Amount   shall be

        distributed   to   the   Class   A-I   Certificates,   until   the   Certificate

         Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

 

               (ii) the Group II Senior Principal   Distribution   Amount shall be

        distributed to the Class R Certificates, until the Certificate Principal

        Balances   thereof have been reduced to zero, and any remaining amount to

        the Class A-II   Certificates   until the   Certificate   Principal   Balance

        thereof has been reduced to zero.

 

        (c) In   addition to the   foregoing   distributions,   with   respect to any

Subsequent   Recoveries,   the Master   Servicer   shall deposit such funds into the

Custodial   Account   pursuant   to Section   3.07(b)(iii).   If,   after   taking into

account such   Subsequent   Recoveries,   the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced,

the   amount of such   Subsequent   Recoveries   will be   applied   to   increase   the

Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate   Certificates with the

Highest Priority to which Realized Losses,   other than Excess Bankruptcy Losses,

Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Special Hazard Losses and Extraordinary Losses, have

been allocated,   but not by more than the amount of Realized   Losses   previously

allocated to that Class of Certificates   pursuant to Section 4.05. The amount of

any remaining Subsequent   Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate

Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Lower Priority,   up

to the amount of such   Realized   Losses   previously   allocated   to that Class of

Certificates   pursuant to Section 4.05. Any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will

in turn be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of

Certificates   with the next Lower   Priority   up to the   amount of such   Realized

Losses   previously   allocated to that Class of Certificates   pursuant to Section

4.05,   and so on.   Holders   of such   Certificates   will not be   entitled   to any

payment   in   respect   of   Accrued   Certificate   Interest   on the   amount of such

increases for any Interest   Accrual Period   preceding the   Distribution   Date on

which   such   increase   occurs.   Any   such   increases   shall   be   applied   to the

Certificate   Principal   Balance of each   Certificate of such Class in accordance

with its respective Percentage Interest.

 

        (d) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry   Certificate shall be

paid to the Depository,   as Holder thereof,   and the Depository   shall be solely

responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its

Depository    Participants   in   accordance   with   its   normal   procedures.    Each

Depository   Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to

the   Certificate   Owners that it represents   and to each indirect   participating

brokerage firm (a "brokerage   firm") for which it acts as agent.   Each brokerage

firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it

represents.   None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar,   the Company or the

Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor.

        (e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, if the Master Servicer

anticipates that a final   distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates

will be made on the next Distribution   Date, the Master Servicer shall, no later

than the Determination Date in the month of such final distribution,   notify the

Trustee and the Trustee   shall,   no later than two (2) Business   Days after such

Determination   Date,   mail   on   such   date   to each   Holder   of   such   Class   of

Certificates a notice to the effect that: (i) the Trustee   anticipates   that the

final   distribution   with respect to such Class of Certificates   will be made on

such   Distribution   Date   but   only   upon   presentation   and   surrender   of such

Certificates at the office of the Trustee or as otherwise specified therein, and

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the

related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that   Certificateholders   required

to surrender   their   Certificates   pursuant to Section   9.01(c) do not surrender

their   Certificates   for final   cancellation,   the   Trustee   shall   cause   funds

distributable   with   respect   to such   Certificates   to be   withdrawn   from   the

Certificate Account and credited to a separate escrow account for the benefit of

such Certificateholders as provided in Section 9.01(d).

 

        (f) On any   Distribution   Date   prior to the   occurrence   of the   Credit

Support   Depletion   Date   that   occurs   after   the   reduction   of the   aggregate

Certificate   Principal   Balance of a Certificate Group to zero, the Certificates

relating to the remaining Certificate Groups will be entitled to receive 100% of

the   prepayments   on   the   Mortgage   Loans   in the   Loan   Group   related   to the

Certificate Group that has been fully paid, which amount shall be allocated, pro

rata,   between   those   Certificate   Groups   based on the   aggregate   Certificate

Principal   Balance of the related   Certificates.   Such   amounts   allocated   to a

Certificate Group shall be treated as part of the related Available Distribution

Amount and   distributed   as part of the related   Senior   Principal   Distribution

Amount   in   accordance   with the   priorities   set   forth in   4.02(b)   above,   in

reduction of such Certificate Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

remaining   Certificate Group will not be entitled to receive   prepayments on the

Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group related to Certificate   Group that has been fully

paid if the following two conditions are satisfied:   (1) the weighted average of

the   Subordinate   Percentages   for all Loan Groups for such   Distribution   Date,

weighted on the basis of the Stated Principal   Balances of the Mortgage Loans in

the   related   Loan   Group,   is at least two times the   weighted   average   of the

initial   Subordinate   Percentages for all Loan Groups,   calculated on that basis

and (2) the   outstanding   principal   balance of the   Mortgage   Loans in all Loan

Groups   delinquent   60 days or more   averaged   over the last   six   months,   as a

percentage of the aggregate   outstanding   Certificate   Principal   Balance of the

Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, is less than 50%.

Section 4.05    Allocation of Realized Losses.

 

        Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the

total   amount   of   Realized   Losses,    if   any,   that   resulted   from   any   Cash

Liquidation, Servicing Modification, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation

or REO Disposition that occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the

case of a Servicing   Modification   that   constitutes a reduction of the interest

rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the reduction in the interest   portion of

the   Monthly   Payment   due during the   related   Due   Period.   The amount of each

Realized   Loss shall be   evidenced   by an   Officers'   Certificate.   All Realized

Losses, other than Excess Special Hazard Losses,   Extraordinary   Losses,   Excess

Bankruptcy Losses or Excess Fraud Losses, shall be allocated as follows:   first,

to the Class B-3 Certificates   until the Certificate   Principal   Balance thereof

has been   reduced   to zero;   second,   to the   Class B-2   Certificates   until the

Certificate   Principal   Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;   third, to the

Class B-1 Certificates until the Certificate   Principal Balance thereof has been

reduced to zero;   fourth,   to the Class M-3   Certificates   until the Certificate

Principal   Balance   thereof has been   reduced to zero;   fifth,   to the Class M-2

Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to

zero;   sixth,   to the Class M-1   Certificates   until the   Certificate   Principal

Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and, thereafter,   such Realized Losses

shall be allocated, in the case of such Realized Losses on the Group I Loans, to

the Class A-I Certificates   until the Certificate   Principal Balance thereof has

been reduced to zero, in the case of such Realized Losses on the Group II Loans,

pro rata to the   Class   A-II and the   Class R   Certificates.   The Group I Senior

Percentage or Group II Senior   Percentage (as   applicable) of any Excess Special

Hazard Losses,   Excess Bankruptcy   Losses,   Excess Fraud Losses or Extraordinary

Losses on the   Mortgage   Loans shall be   allocated   (A) in the case of a Group I

Loan, to the Group I Certificates and (B) in the case of a Group II Loan, to the

Group II Certificates on a pro rata basis. The remainder of such Realized Losses

will be allocated among the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates,   on a

pro rata basis.

 

        On any Distribution Date, Realized Losses will be allocated as set forth

herein   before   distributions   of   principal   on the   Certificates   as set forth

herein.

 

        As used herein,   an   allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis"

among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro

rata   basis,   among the   various   Classes   so   specified,   to each such Class of

Certificates   on the   basis   of their   then   outstanding   Certificate   Principal

Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution

Date in the case of the   principal   portion of a   Realized   Loss or based on the

Accrued Certificate   Interest thereon payable on such Distribution Date (without

regard to any Compensating   Interest for such Distribution   Date) in the case of

an interest   portion of a Realized   Loss.   Except as   provided in the   following

sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than

Debt Service   Reductions) to a Class of   Certificates   shall be made by reducing

the   Certificate   Principal   Balance   thereof by the amount so allocated,   which

allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such Distribution Date;   provided

that no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate   Certificate Principal Balance

of the Certificates below the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage

Loans.   Any allocation of the principal   portion of Realized   Losses (other than

Debt Service   Reductions) to the Subordinate   Certificates then outstanding with

the Lowest Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of "Certificate

Principal   Balance"   and by   operation   of the   provisions   of Section   4.02(a).

Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses (other than any interest

rate   reduction   resulting   from a   Servicing   Modification)   shall   be   made in

proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the

definition of "Accrued Certificate   Interest" and by operation of the provisions

of Section   4.02(a).   Allocations   of the   interest   portion of a Realized   Loss

resulting   from an   interest   rate   reduction   in   connection   with a   Servicing

Modification   shall be made by operation of the   provisions of Section   4.02(a).

Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by

operation of the   provisions   of Section   4.02(a).   All Realized   Losses and all

other losses   allocated to a Class of   Certificates   hereunder will be allocated

among the   Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage   Interests

evidenced thereby.

Section 10.06 Master Servicer;   REMIC Administrator and Trustee Indemnification.

        (See Section 10.02 of the Standard Terms)

 

Section 10.07   Designation of REMICs.

 

        The REMIC   Administrator   will make an election to treat the   segregated

pool of   assets   described   in the   definition   of REMIC I (as   defined   herein)

(including the Mortgage Loans but excluding the Initial   Monthly   Payment Fund),

and subject to this Agreement,   as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.   The

REMIC Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets

consisting of the REMIC I Regular   Interests (and excluding the Initial   Monthly

Payment Fund), as a REMIC (REMIC II) for federal income tax purposes.

 

        The REMIC I Regular Interests will be "regular interests" in REMIC I and

the Class R   Certificates   (with respect to the Class R-I Interest)   will be the

sole   "residual   interest" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC   Provisions   (as

defined in the Standard Terms) under federal income tax law.

 

        The Class A-I,   Class A-II,   Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1,

Class B-2 and Class B-3   Certificates   will be "regular   interests" in REMIC II,

and the Class R   Certificates   (with   respect to the Class R-II   Interest)   will

represent ownership of the "residual interest" therein for purposes of the REMIC

Provisions.

 

Section 10.08 Distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests.

 

(a) On each   Distribution   Date the   Trustee   shall be deemed to   distribute   to

itself, as the holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests,   Uncertificated   Accrued

Interest on the REMIC I Regular Interests for such   Distribution   Date, plus any

Uncertificated   Accrued   Interest   thereon   remaining   unpaid from any   previous

Distribution Date.

 

(b)   Distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made from amounts received

on the Mortgage Loans to the REMIC I Regular Interests, first, so as to keep the

Uncertificated   Principal   Balance of each REMIC I Regular   Interest ending with

the designation "B" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate   Scheduled Principal Balance

of the   Mortgage   Loans in the related   Group;   second,   to each REMIC I Regular

Interest ending with the designation "A," so that the   Uncertificated   Principal

Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of

(x) the   aggregate   Scheduled   Principal   Balance of the   Mortgage   Loans in the

related Group over (y) the Current   Principal Amount of the Senior   Certificates

in the related   Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in

the   preceding   distribution   period,   the least   amount of   principal   shall be

distributed to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated

Balance Ratio is   maintained);   and third,   any   remaining   principal to REMIC I

Regular   Interest ZZZ.   Realized   Losses on the Mortgage   Loans shall be applied

after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to

keep the   Uncertificated   Principal   Balance   of each   REMIC I Regular   Interest

ending   with the   designation   "B"   equal to   0.01% of the   aggregate   Scheduled

to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate   Scheduled   Principal Balance of the

Mortgage Loans in the related Group over (y) the Current Principal Amount of the

Senior   Certificates   in the related   Group (except that if any such excess is a

        Notwithstanding   any other provision of this   Agreement,   the Trustee or

any Paying   Agent,   as   applicable,   shall   comply with all federal   withholding

requirements   respecting payments to   Certificateholders,   including interest or

original   issue   discount   payments or advances   thereof that the Trustee or any

Paying Agent, as applicable,   reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.

The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In

the event the Trustee or any Paying   Agent,   as   applicable,   does   withhold any

amount from interest or original issue discount   payments or advances thereof to

any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements,   the Trustee

or any Paying Agent,   as applicable,   shall indicate the amount withheld to such
