[“Pooling REMIC Residual Interest”: Each Residual Interest of a Pooling REMIC .]
[“Pooling REMIC Subaccount”: Each of the following subaccounts, established for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions by the Trustee, which have the following interest rates and
initial principal [or notional] balances and which correspond to the indicated Classes of
Securities:
Pooling REMIC Subaccounts
Subaccount1
Interest Rate
[(1)]
1
Initial Principal [or
Notional] Balance
Corresponding
Classes [and
Components]
NOTE TO TRUST COUNSEL: No Pooling REMIC Subaccount is created for the Pooling REMIC Residual
Interest.
To the extent possible, a separate Pooling REMIC Subaccount should be created for each Class of Regular
Securities. In that case, the initial principal balance and interest rate of the Pooling REMIC Subaccount
will equal the Original Class Principal Balance and Interest Rate of the corresponding Class.
Do not create, however, a separate Subaccount for a Class that receives a strip from certain other Classes
(as opposed to a strip from the entire pool of collateral). Instead, list the stripped Class as a second
“corresponding Class” to the Subaccount for each of those other Classes. For example, assume that Class
J, a Notional Class, receives interest otherwise allocable to Classes A and B. You will need to create a
Pooling REMIC Subaccount to correspond to Classes A and J, and a second Pooling REMIC Subaccount to
correspond to Classes B and J.
There is no need to lump together an Accrual Class and the related Accretion Directed Classes into one
Pooling REMIC Subaccount. Create a separate Pooling REMIC Subaccount for each Accrual Class and
each Accretion Directed Class. The Subaccount corresponding to the Accrual Class will accrue interest
without receiving current interest distributions, as provided in section 7(b).
There may be structures that require you to deviate from these rules. If so, please consult the Legal
Advisor to discuss the matter.
Please put all Pooling REMIC Subaccounts under this definition. If there are multiple Pooling REMICs,
please include a row identifying the name of the Pooling REMIC (e.g., “Group 1 Pooling REMIC
Subaccounts”; “Group 2, 3, and 8 Pooling REMIC Subaccounts”).

modifications of the Standard Trust Provisions shall apply to the Securities:

II-3-13
[NOTE: FOR DEALS WITH RESIDUAL CLASSES RELATING TO A SPECIFIC
GROUP TO ENABLE A COLLAPSE OF SUCH GROUP: [(I)] (a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Standard Trust Provisions, with respect to [each of]
Security Groups [ ] [through] [and] [ ], a Holder of all of the outstanding Regular Securities of
[any] such Security Group and the related Class of Residual Securities shall have the right to
purchase the related Trust Assets, in each case, upon three Business Days’ notice (the “Notice
Period”). The purchase shall be for cash in an amount equal to (A)(i) the aggregate remaining
principal balance of the Trust Assets of such Security Group, but in no event less than the
aggregate outstanding principal amount[,if any, plus the Deferred Interest Amount, if any,] of the
Securities of such Security Group to the extent applicable, plus (ii) accrued interest on the
Securities of such Security Group, less (B) amounts on deposit in the related Trust REMIC or
Trust REMICs, for distribution on the Securities of such Security Group, plus (C) a $5,000
termination fee payable to the Trustee in connection with each Security Group to be terminated.
After the Notice Period, and upon such purchase, the Trustee shall effect a termination of the
related Trust REMIC or Trust REMICs. In order to effect such termination, the Trustee shall
distribute the cash proceeds of the sale of the Trust Assets of the related Security Group (x) in
the case of a Single REMIC Series, to the Holder of the related Regular Securities and the related
Class of Residual Securities (which distribution may be offset against amounts due on the sale of
such assets) or (y) in the case of a Double REMIC Series, as payments on the Pooling REMIC
Subaccounts of and Residual Interest in the related Pooling REMIC and then distribute such
payments to the Holder of the related Regular Securities and the related Class of Residual
Securities (which distribution may be offset against amounts due on the sale of such assets). The
Trustee shall cancel the Securities of the related Security Group and cause the removal from the
Book-Entry Depository Account of all Classes of the related Security Group, shall cancel the
related Class of Residual Securities, and shall credit the remaining Trust Assets in the related
Security Group to the account of the surrendering Holder.
(b)
In addition, in the event of any such termination, the Trustee shall adopt a plan of
complete liquidation with respect to the related Trust REMIC in the case of a Single REMIC
Series, or each related Trust REMIC in the case of a Double REMIC Series, in each case
satisfying the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions. Under the
REMIC Provisions, (i) the Trustee may adopt the plan by attaching a statement to the final
United States federal income tax return of the related Trust REMIC or Trust REMICs (specifying
that the requirement under (ii) has been complied with) and (ii) the plan of complete liquidation
must be completed within a 90-day liquidation period, which (A) begins on the date that the plan
of complete liquidation with respect to such Trust REMIC is adopted and (B) includes the date of
sale of the Trust Assets related to such Trust REMIC or Trust REMICs and the date on which the
final payment is made on the related Securities and, if applicable, on the Pooling REMIC
Subaccounts of the related Pooling REMIC.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such termination shall
be allowed unless the Trustee and Ginnie Mae are provided, at no cost to either the Trustee or
Ginnie Mae, an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee and Ginnie Mae, to the effect that
such termination constitutes a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions, including
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and such termination will not result in a disqualification of any
Trust REMIC that is not terminated at such time or the imposition of any “prohibited
14
II-3-14
transactions” or “contributions” tax under the REMIC Provisions on any Trust REMIC that is not
terminated at such time.]

To the Ginnie Mae Issuer identified on
Schedule I hereto (the “Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer”)
Chapter 32 of the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide 5500.3, as amended (the
“MBS Guide”) requires that the contracted security purchaser, the entity bound under contract
with the related Ginnie Mae Issuer to purchase all of the Ginnie Mae Construction Loan
Certificates related to a specific property, consent to any request of the related Ginnie Mae Issuer
to extend the applicable Maturity Date (subject to certain restrictions as specified below). The
consent requirement restricts the use of Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificates as Trust
Assets in Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) multiclass securities
transactions. For the purpose of ensuring the efficient commencement and continued operation
of the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program as it relates to Ginnie Mae Construction Loan
Certificates and in consideration of Ginnie Mae’s guaranty of the Ginnie Mae REMIC Securities
to be issued pursuant to the trust agreement relating to the Ginnie Mae REMIC Trust 20[ ]-[ ]
dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (such trust, the “Trust” and such trust agreement, the “Trust Agreement”), [
] (“[ ]”), in its capacity as contracted security purchaser of (x) the Ginnie Mae Construction
Loan Certificates identified on Schedule I hereto and each related Ginnie Mae Construction Loan
Certificate, if any, outstanding as of the date hereof (the "Outstanding CLCs") and (y) any
Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificate related to any Outstanding CLC that may be issued in
the future (the “Future CLCs,” together with the Outstanding CLCs, the “Ginnie Mae CLCs”),
waives its right and the right of all future holders of each Ginnie Mae CLC, including [ ] as
Trustee, (the “REMIC Trustee”) and the assignee of [ ]’s right in certain of the Outstanding
CLCs, to withhold consent to any request that may be made by the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer, in its
capacity as the issuer of the related Ginnie Mae CLCs, to extend the applicable Maturity Date of
any such Ginnie Mae CLCs (provided that the length of any such extension, together with all
previously granted extensions in respect of the applicable Ginnie Mae CLCs, may not exceed the
term of the underlying Mortgage Loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration). The
waiver and the agreements contained herein shall bind and inure to the benefit of [ ] and its
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Ginnie Mae and the Trust.
[ ] hereby agrees to notify the REMIC Trustee of the foregoing waiver and to take any further
action as may be reasonably requested by the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer or Ginnie Mae to give
effect to the foregoing waiver.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to constrain or otherwise limit any rights
Ginnie Mae may have to deny a request for the extension of the Maturity Date of any Ginnie
Exhibit 2 - 1
II-3-21
Mae CLC for any reason (other than the failure of the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer to obtain the
consent of the contracted security purchaser of the applicable Ginnie Mae CLCs for any
extension within the scope of this waiver).
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to relieve the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer of
its obligation to pay [
] any extension fee that may become payable under the Trade
] with respect to the related
Confirmation between the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer and [
Outstanding CLCs (and any Future CLCs) set forth on Schedule I.
In the event the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer requests an extension of the Maturity Date of any
related Ginnie Mae CLCs, the Ginnie Mae CLC Issuer may submit this waiver to Ginnie Mae in
lieu of any document evidencing the consent of the contracted security purchaser of the Ginnie
Mae CLCs to any such extension request.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United
States of America. Insofar as there may be no applicable law of the United States, the internal
laws of the State of New York (without giving regard to conflict of laws principles) shall be
deemed reflective of the laws of the United States of America, insofar as to do so would not
frustrate the purposes of any provision of the Trust Agreement or the transactions governed
thereby.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
related Trust Agreement and the Glossary of the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Guide in
effect as of the date of the Trust Agreement.
ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST
Section 1.01.

consideration for the Trust Assets.
Section 1.02.
Sale of Trust Assets.
The deposit of Trust Assets by a Sponsor to a Trust pursuant to the related Trust
Agreement shall occur upon the Closing Date for such Series and shall constitute a sale,
assignment, transfer and conveyance by the Sponsor to the Trust of all right, title and interest in
such Trust Assets as of the first day of the month of the Closing Date, notwithstanding any
provision of federal or state law to the contrary. Each of the Sponsor, the Trustee and, by
accepting an interest in a Security, each Holder agrees that the terms of the Trust Assets shall
remain subject to modification, waiver or partial release of collateral pursuant to the terms of the
MBS Guide and related policies and regulations.
Section 1.03.
Designation of REMIC Assets.

Single REMIC Series. In the case of a Single REMIC Series (other than a Single

REMIC, the assets of the Trust REMIC will consist of the Trust Assets acquired from the
Sponsor, the Segregated Portion of each Trust REMIC Account corresponding to the related
Trust REMIC, and amounts held in such Segregated Portion of such Trust REMIC Accounts

in accordance with the Trust Agreement and corresponding to the related Trust REMIC, and
4

accordance with Article 3 hereof.
(b)
Double REMIC Series. In the case of a Double REMIC Series in respect of a
single Pooling REMIC, the assets of the Pooling REMIC will consist of the Trust Assets
acquired from the Sponsor (or, in the case of a Double REMIC Series in respect of a single
Pooling REMIC issued in conjunction with a Single REMIC Series, a portion of the Trust Assets
corresponding to the Trust Asset Groups specified in the Trust Agreement as assets of the
Pooling REMIC), the Pooling Portion of each Trust REMIC Account relating to such Pooling
REMIC (such Pooling Portions thereof, the “Pooling REMIC Trust Accounts”), and amounts

hereof. In the case of a Double REMIC Series in respect of two or more Pooling REMICs
(whether in respect of one or more Issuing REMICs, each such Pooling REMIC and Issuing

Section 1.04.
Registration of Trust Assets.
Each Trust Asset included in each Trust will be registered in the name of the Book-Entry
Depository or the applicable Trust Asset Depository, as the case may be, or the applicable
Depository’s nominee(s), for the benefit of the Trustee. The books and records of each
Depository will reflect the Trustee as registered holder of the related Trust Assets, and the books
and records of the Trustee will reflect that it holds the Trust Assets as Trustee of the related Trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that Trust.
Section 1.05.
Delivery of Securities.
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Sponsor the Securities.
Section 1.06.

Prior to the execution of the Trust Agreement and the establishment of the Trust, the
Trustee’s board of directors, its duly appointed loan committee, duly authorized officers, or duly
appointed trust committee, as the case may be, shall approve the Trust Agreement in accordance
with the Trustee’s organizational documents and any applicable state or federal regulation,
including, to the extent applicable, and without limitation 12 C.F.R. §§ 9.7 and 550.5, each as
5
II-4-5
amended from time to time, and such approval shall be reflected in the minutes of the Trustee’s
board or committee. The Trustee shall maintain the Trust Agreement as an official record of the
Trustee from the time the Trust Agreement is executed.
ARTICLE II
THE SECURITIES
Section 2.01.
The Securities.
(a)
Securities. The Securities shall be designated in the Trust Agreement. The
Securities, in the aggregate, represent the entire beneficial ownership in the Trust. The
Certificated Securities shall be issued substantially in the forms of Exhibits 2 through 6 hereto
and shall be executed and authenticated by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The terms of the
Uncertificated Securities and the Book-Entry Securities are set forth herein and in the related
Trust Agreement. The Book-Entry Securities to be issued as of the Closing Date are set forth on
the Issuance Statement attached as Exhibit 1 to the Trust Agreement.
(b)
Forms and Denominations of Securities.
(i)
Unless otherwise specified in the Trust Agreement, all Regular Securities
(other than Uncertificated Securities) shall be Book-Entry Securities, registered in the
name of the Book-Entry Depository or its nominee. Regular Securities (except
Uncertificated Securities and Securities that represent interests in Increased Minimum
Denomination Classes) shall be issuable in minimum denominations representing initial
principal balances or initial notional balances of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in
excess of $1,000. Increased Minimum Denomination Classes, if any, shall be issuable in
minimum denominations as provided in the related Trust Agreement. Uncertificated
Securities of any Class shall be issued as a single interest representing the entire Original
Class Principal Balance (or original Class Notional Balance) of such Class.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Class of Book-Entry Securities, one Security
may be issued in a different name and denomination, as the Sponsor shall instruct in
writing, as necessary to represent the remainder of the Original Class Principal Balance
of such Class.
(ii)
After the initial issuance to the Book-Entry Depository or its nominee of a
Book-Entry Security backed by Trust Assets, any Beneficial Owner may request a
Certificated Security registered in its name for a fee of $25,000 (which fee, less the
Trustee’s expenses in complying with the request, will be payable to Ginnie Mae) per
physical certificate requested. Any such request for a Certificated Security shall be made
through the standard procedures of the Book-Entry Depository and any other financial
intermediary through which the Beneficial Owner holds its Book-Entry Security. Any
such Certificated Security shall be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.
(iii) At any time and in accordance with the procedures of the Book-Entry
Depository, the Holder of a Certificated Security (other than a Residual Security) may
6
II-4-6
surrender such Certificated Security to the Trustee and become the Beneficial Owner of a
Book-Entry Security of like tenor and denomination.
(iv)
Unless otherwise specified in the Trust Agreement, the Residual Securities
shall be issuable in minimum Percentage Interests of ten percent and integral multiples
thereof in accordance with the Sponsor’s written instruction and upon the furnishing to
the Trustee of completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-9 (or applicable
successor forms) with respect thereto.
(c)
Method of Distribution. Distributions on the Securities shall be made by the
Trustee on each Distribution Date (or, with respect to Certificated Securities, the Business Day
following each Distribution Date) to each Holder as of the related Record Date. Subject to
Section 8.04, distributions on the Book-Entry Securities shall be made through the facilities of
the Book-Entry Depository pursuant to instructions provided by the Trustee and/or the
Information Agent. Distributions on any Certificated Security shall be made (i) by check mailed
to the Holder thereof at its address reflected in the Register as of the related Record Date or (ii)
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written request of a Holder accompanied by the appropriate
wiring instructions at least five Business Days prior to a Record Date, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds on the Business Day following the related and each subsequent
Distribution Date, to the account of such Holder, if such Holder holds Regular Securities having
aggregate initial principal balances of at least $5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
final distribution in retirement of any Certificated Security will be made only upon presentation
and surrender of the certificate at the Corporate Trust Office. In the event of a principal or
interest payment error, the Trustee shall, pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s instructions, effect
corrections by the adjustment of payments to be made on future Distribution Dates.
(d)
Authorization, Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Securities. Certificated
Securities shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature by an authorized officer of the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and if required by applicable law, under the Trustee’s seal
imprinted thereon (which may be a facsimile). Securities bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time authorized officers of the Trustee shall bind the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices
prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date
of such Securities. No Certificated Security shall represent entitlement to any benefit under the
related Trust Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee
by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificated Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication, except that
Securities issued on the Closing Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. Uncertificated
Securities and Book-Entry Securities shall be dated as of the date of their issuance.
The manual execution of the Trust Agreement by an authorized officer of each of the
Trustee and the Sponsor shall be conclusive evidence that the Book-Entry Securities and the
Uncertificated Securities have been duly and validly authorized and validly issued by the Trustee
and are entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.
7
II-4-7
Delivery of Book-Entry Securities and Uncertificated Securities occurs when the
Registrar registers the transferee as the registered owner of such Security. The Book-Entry
Securities to be issued at closing shall be identified on an Issuance Statement attached as Exhibit
1 to the Trust Agreement prepared by the Sponsor and delivered to the Trustee. On the Closing
Date, the Registrar shall register the Book-Entry Depository as the registered owner of the BookEntry Securities.
Upon execution and delivery of the Guaranty Agreement with respect to each Trust,
Ginnie Mae authorizes the issuance of the Securities, each of which is entitled to the benefits of
the following Ginnie Mae Guaranty. Each Certificated Security shall bear language substantially
to the following effect:
GUARANTY: THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE
ASSOCIATION, PURSUANT TO SECTION 306(g) OF THE
NATIONAL HOUSING ACT, GUARANTEES THE TIMELY
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THIS
SECURITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE RELATED
TRUST AGREEMENT. THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS PLEDGED TO THE
PAYMENT OF ALL AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED
TO BE PAID UNDER THIS GUARANTY.
If the Trust Assets related to a Security consist of Ginnie Mae Multifamily Certificates,
then the following sentence shall be added to the foregoing legend on such Certificated Security
immediately following the last sentence:
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE
ASSOCIATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE PAYMENTS OF
PREPAYMENT PENALTIES ON THIS SECURITY.
Section 2.02.
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Securities.
The Trustee shall keep one or more offices or agencies at which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee or another Person designated by the
Trustee and approved by Ginnie Mae shall be the Registrar and shall maintain a Register and
provide for the registration, transfer and exchange of Securities as herein provided.
Unless otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement, the Trustee agrees that it shall
hold any Pooling REMIC Regular Interests on behalf of the related Issuing REMIC, as provided
in the Trust Agreement.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificated Security at the office of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below in
this Section 2.02 and, in the case of a Residual Security, Section 2.04, the Trustee shall promptly
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Securities of a like Class, tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest.
8
II-4-8
At the option of the Holders, Certificated Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests of like tenor and of a like
aggregate denomination or Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at the office maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificated Securities are surrendered
for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Securities that the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificated Security presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed (if so required by the Trustee) by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Trustee may assess an appropriate service charge for any exchange or transfer of any
Certificated Security. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of any
Residual Securities. The Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any
Certificated Security. The Trustee shall cancel and destroy all Certificated Securities
surrendered for transfer and exchange according to its standard procedures.
Section 2.03.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.
If (a) any mutilated Certificated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificated Security,
and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to
save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such security has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall promptly execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificated Security, a
new Certificated Security of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificated Security under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel)
connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificated Security issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust and the related Trust
REMIC, as if originally issued, regardless of whether the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificated
Security shall be found at any time.
Section 2.04.
Special Transfer Restrictions Relating to Residual Interests.
(a)
No Ownership Interest may be transferred without the express written consent of
the Trustee. As a condition to that consent, any transferee (including the initial purchaser) of an
Ownership Interest must provide the Trustee with a properly completed Transfer Affidavit,
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 1, in which the proposed transferee must represent
and warrant, among other things, that (i) it agrees that the Trustee can execute all instruments of
transfer and do all other things necessary in connection with any transfer of an Ownership
Interest, (ii) it is a U.S. Person, (iii) it is not a Disqualified Organization, (iv) it is not acquiring
the Ownership Interest as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a U.S. Person or
that is a Disqualified Organization, (v) it is not a Plan Investor, (vi) it agrees to immediately
notify the Trustee if it becomes aware that any representation and warranty made by it in the
Transfer Affidavit will or has become false, (vii) it agrees to be bound by, and that its rights as
9
II-4-9
owner of a Residual Interest are expressly subject to, the special transfer restrictions relating to
Residual Interests in this Section 2.04, and (viii) it agrees to not transfer or cause the transfer of
its Ownership Interest to any Person if such Person does not supply the Trustee with a properly
completed Transfer Affidavit or if it has actual knowledge that the Transfer Affidavit supplied by
such Person is false. In the case of a transfer of an Ownership Interest on the Closing Date, the
Trustee’s signature on the Trust Agreement shall constitute consent to such transfer.
(b)
Notwithstanding the provision of a Transfer Affidavit by a proposed Transferee,
the Trustee may withhold its consent to a transfer under the following circumstances: (i) to
avoid a risk of disqualification of a Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon a
Trust REMIC, (ii) if less than all of the Transferor’s Ownership Interest would be transferred and
the transferred interest can not be expressed as a single constant percentage of the Transferor’s
Ownership Interest or (iii) if the Trustee knows or has reason to believe that a Transfer Affidavit
is false.
(c)
Any attempted or purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this
Section 2.04 shall be absolutely null and void, shall vest no rights in the Nonpermitted
Transferee, and shall not be recognized by the Trustee. Upon receipt of written notice by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee of registration of Transfer of an Ownership Interest to a
Nonpermitted Transferee, such Transfer shall be considered absolutely null and void, and the
Trustee shall restore the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Ownership Interest to all
rights as owner thereof retroactive to the date of registration of the Transfer to the Nonpermitted
Transferee.
(d)
The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for (i) registration of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest to a Nonpermitted Transferee that the Trustee did not know
was a Nonpermitted Transferee, (ii) making any distributions due on an Ownership Interest to
such a Nonpermitted Transferee, or (iii) taking any other action with respect to a Nonpermitted
Transferee under the provisions of the related Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall be entitled but
not obligated to recover from a Nonpermitted Transferee of an Ownership Interest all
distributions made on such Interest at or after the time of the Transfer of such Interest to such
Nonpermitted Transferee. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Ownership Interest,
subject to the Trustee’s right to withhold any amounts from such payments.
(e)
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any Trust REMIC as a result of the transfer
of an Ownership Interest to a Nonpermitted Transferee, the Trustee may pay such tax or
reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to such Nonpermitted
Transferee. In that event, neither the Nonpermitted Transferee nor the transferor shall have any
right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Trustee, Ginnie Mae, the Sponsor, the Tax
Administrator, or the other Holders.
(f)
The Trustee as Tax Administrator, or its designated agent, shall make available to
the Internal Revenue Service and to the persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code the
information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code. The Trustee as Tax
Administrator, or its designated agent, may charge such persons a reasonable amount for doing
so, but must do so whether or not actually paid.

Section 2.05.
Residual Interest Securities.
(a)
Single REMIC Series. With respect to a Single REMIC Series in respect of a
single Trust REMIC, the Trust will issue a single Class of Residual Securities that will represent
the Residual Interest in such Trust REMIC (substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto) or with
respect to a Trust that establishes two or more single-tiered Trust REMICs, the Trust will issue
either (i) a single Class of Residual Securities that will represent the Residual Interest in each
such Trust REMIC, which will be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto or (ii) two
or more Classes of Residual Securities (corresponding to the number of Trust REMICs), each
representing the Residual Interest in a separate Trust REMIC, which will be issued substantially
in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto.
(b)
Double REMIC Series. With respect to a Double REMIC Series in respect of one
or more Issuing REMICs, the Trust will issue either (i) a single Class of Residual Securities for
each Issuing REMIC and its related Pooling REMICs, which Class of Residual Securities will
represent the Residual Interest in such Issuing REMIC and its related Pooling REMICs, which
will be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, or (ii) two or more Classes of
Residual Securities (corresponding to the number of Trust REMICs for such Trust), each
representing the Residual Interest in a separate Trust REMIC, which will be issued, in the case of
a Residual Interest in a Pooling REMIC, substantially in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, and in the
case of a Residual Interest in an Issuing REMIC, substantially in the form of Exhibit 6 hereto.
(c)
Each Holder of a Class RR Security (whether or not having a numerical or other
designation as specified in the Trust Agreement) will be entitled to separate such Security into its
component parts. Upon receipt of a Class RR Security and a written request from the Holder
thereof to separate such Security into its component parts, the Trustee shall (i) in the case of
single-tiered side-by-side Trust REMICs, issue to such registered Holder in exchange for such
Class RR Security, separately transferable, certificated and fully registered securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto (each, a “Class R Security”) that will, from the date
of issuance, represent the Holder’s Percentage Interest in the Residual Interest in each Trust
REMIC, (ii) in the case of a Double REMIC Series, issue to such registered Holder in exchange
for such Class RR Security (a) separately transferable, certificated and fully registered securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto (each, a “Class RP Security”) that will, from the date
of issuance, represent the Holder’s Percentage Interest in the Residual Interest in each related
Pooling REMIC and (b) a separately transferable, certificated and fully registered security
substantially in the form of Exhibit 6 hereto (a “Class RI Security”) that will, from the date of its
issuance, represent the Holder’s Percentage Interest in the Residual Interest in the related Issuing
REMIC, (iii) if requested by and at the expense of the Holder, obtain CUSIP Numbers for the
Class R, Class RP and Class RI Securities and (iv) make any allocations and distributions with
respect to such newly issued Securities as set forth in the related Trust Agreement.
Section 2.06.
Voting Rights.
With respect to each Series, unless otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement, if
any Class of Securities in the Series does not have a Class Principal Balance or has an Original
Class Principal Balance that is less than or equal to 1% of the aggregate Original Class Principal
Balance of all the Securities, then 1% of the Voting Rights for that Series shall be allocated to
11
II-4-11
such Class, and the balance of the Voting Rights shall be allocated among the remaining Classes
of Securities in that Series in proportion to their respective Class Principal Balances following
the most recent Distribution Date. Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Securities shall be
allocated in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests of the Holders thereof.
ARTICLE III
DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE SECURITIES
Section 3.01.
Establishment of Accounts.
(a)
Depository Accounts. The Trustee shall maintain a Book-Entry Depository
Account with the Book-Entry Depository and, if any Underlying Certificates are held through
book-entry facilities other than the Book-Entry Depository, a Trust Asset Depository Account at
each applicable Trust Asset Depository. With respect to each Trust, the Trustee shall account for
all funds in, all deposits to and all withdrawals from the Book-Entry Depository Account
separately and on a Trust-by-Trust basis and, further, on a Trust REMIC-by-Trust REMIC basis,
clearly identifying the Segregated Portions thereof. The Depository Accounts shall be credited
with amounts as provided in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 hereof.
(b)
Trustee ABA Account. The Trustee shall maintain a Trustee ABA Account,
which account shall include subaccounts consisting of the Trustee Limited Purpose Account and
the Trustee Issuer’s Account. With respect to each Trust, the Trustee shall account for all funds
in, all deposits to and all withdrawals from the Trustee ABA Account separately and on a Trustby-Trust basis, and further, on a Trust REMIC-by-Trust REMIC basis, clearly identifying the
Segregated Portions thereof. The Trustee ABA Account shall be credited with amounts as
provided in Section 3.03 hereof.
(c)
Variance Account. With respect to each Trust, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain a separate Variance Account, which will be an Eligible Account. Amounts will be
credited to the Variance Account and withdrawals will be made from the Variance Account as
specified herein. The Variance Account shall be an Outside Reserve Fund, the owner of which
solely for United States federal tax purposes (and not for any other purpose) will be Ginnie Mae.
The depository records of the Trustee, or, as the case may be, the depository institution or trust
company at which the Variance Account is to be established, shall reflect in respect of the
Variance Account (i) that the Trustee, as depositor, is acting in its capacity as trustee on behalf of
the Holders of Securities in respect of the Trust, (ii) the names and respective interests of such
Holders, and (iii) that such Holders may be acting in a fiduciary capacity for others. If the
amounts on deposit in the Variance Account exceed $100, the Trustee shall invest such amounts
in Eligible Investments as directed by Ginnie Mae in writing. If no investment direction is
provided to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall hold such funds uninvested. Any investment
earnings shall be deposited into the Variance Account and allocated to make up for shortfalls as
provided in Section 3.04(b) hereof. The Trustee shall keep a separate accounting of investment
earnings deposited into the Variance Account (the “Variance Account Investment Earnings”). If
any Variance Account Investment Earnings remain in the Variance Account on the Final
Distribution Date of the last outstanding Class in any Series after making distributions on such
date, such amounts shall be for the account of and distributable to Ginnie Mae.
12
II-4-12
(d)
Collection Account. The Trustee will maintain an Eligible Account (the
“Collection Account”) for the purposes provided in Section 3.03(a). With respect to each Trust,
the Trustee shall account for all funds in, all deposits to and all withdrawals from the Collection
Account separately and on a Trust-by-Trust basis and, further, on a Trust REMIC-by-Trust
REMIC basis, clearly identifying the Segregated Portions thereof. Amounts on deposit from
time to time in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments. Any investment
earnings on the Collection Account shall be retained by, and be for the account of, the Trustee as
part of the Trustee Fee. Regardless whether the amounts deposited in the Collection Account are
invested, to the extent amounts required to be deposited into the Trustee ABA Account pursuant
to Section 3.03(a) are so deposited on each Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date, the Trustee
shall pay therefrom to Ginnie Mae the Ginnie Mae Interest Amount as of each Distribution Date.
The depository records of the Trustee, or, as the case may be, the depository institution or trust
company at which the Collection Account is to be established, shall reflect in respect of the
Collection Account (i) that the Trustee, as depositor, is acting in its capacity as trustee on behalf
of the Holders of Securities in respect of the Trust and Ginnie Mae, (ii) the names and respective
interests of such Holders and Ginnie Mae, and (iii) that such Holders may be acting in a fiduciary
capacity for others.
(e)
Board Approval. Prior to the establishment of any Trust Account, the Trustee’s
board of directors, its duly appointed loan committee, duly appointed trust committee or duly
authorized officers, as the case may be, or, as the case may be, the Trustee’s board of directors,
its duly appointed loan committee, duly authorized officers, or duly appointed trust committee,
as the case may be, of the depository institution or trust company at which such Trust Account is
to be established, shall approve the establishment of such Trust Account in accordance with the
organizational documents of such institution and any applicable state or federal regulation,
including, to the extent applicable, and without limitation 12 C.F.R. §§ 9.7 and 550.5, each as
amended from time to time, and such approval shall be reflected in the minutes of such board or
committee, as applicable. The Trustee, or, as the case may be, the depository institution or trust
company at which any Trust Account is to be established, shall maintain the Trust Agreement as
an official record from the time of its execution.
(f)
Segregated Portions. Each Trust REMIC Account required to be maintained in
accordance with this Section 3.01 shall include, and where applicable a reference to such Trust
REMIC Account herein or in the related Trust Agreement shall be understood to be a reference
to, a Segregated Portion of such Trust REMIC Account corresponding to each such Trust
REMIC.
Section 3.02.
Certificate and Class Factors.
(a)
Certificate Factors for Trust Assets other than Ginnie Mae Multifamily
Certificates. The Trustee shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Certificate Factors for
Trust MBS (other than any Ginnie Mae Multifamily Certificates) and Underlying Callable
Securities (and the Underlying Certificate Factors for Underlying Certificates and Underlying
SMBS Securities) on or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the second Business Day preceding a
Distribution Date (or, in the case of Ginnie Mae II Certificates, the third preceding Business
Day), or such other date set forth in the related Trust Agreement. In the event any Underlying
Certificate Factors for Underlying Certificates or Underlying SMBS Securities or Certificate
13
II-4-13
Factors for Underlying Callable Securities and Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are not
published or otherwise available as specified in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall
immediately notify the Information Agent and Ginnie Mae and follow the procedures set forth in
Section 3.02(d).
(b)
Calculated Certificate Factors for Trust Assets other than Ginnie Mae Multifamily
and Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. With respect to any Trust MBS (other than Ginnie Mae
Multifamily Certificates and Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates) for which a Certificate Factor is
not available by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Certificate Factor Date, the Trustee shall
determine the Calculated Certificate Factor for such Trust MBS.
(c)
Certificate Factors, Calculated Certificate Factors and Corrected Certificate
Factors for Ginnie Mae Multifamily Certificates. With respect to each Ginnie Mae Multifamily
Certificate:
(i)
The Trustee, in accordance with operational guidelines established by
Ginnie Mae, will use its reasonable best efforts to do the following on or before 12:00
noon on the second Business Day preceding a Distribution Date: determine the related
Certificate Factor, determine whether the Certificate Factor is correct in the case where
the Certificate Factor indicates a significant payoff, determine the Corrected Certificate
Factor if the Certificate Factor is incorrect and advise the Book-Entry Depository if the
Trustee plans to use the Corrected Certificate Factor in following the procedures set forth
in Section 3.02(e). If the Certificate Factor is correct, it will use the Certificate Factor in
following the procedures for determining Class Factors set forth in Section 3.02(e).
(ii)
If the Trustee cannot determine by 12:00 noon Eastern time on the second
Business Day preceding a Distribution Date whether the related Certificate Factor is
correct, the Trustee shall determine the Calculated Certificate Factor for such Ginnie Mae
Multifamily Certificate and use the Calculated Certificate Factor in following the
procedures for determining Class Factors set forth in Section 3.02(e).
(d)
Unavailability of Certificate Factors for Underlying Certificate Factors. In the
event that the Underlying Certificate Factor for any Underlying Certificate or Underlying SMBS
Security (or Certificate Factor for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate or Underlying Callable
Security) has not been made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the second
Business Day preceding a Distribution Date (or in the case of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
backed by Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates, the third preceding Business Day), the Trustee shall
assume for purposes hereof that such factors have not changed from the preceding Underlying
Certificate Payment Date or Underlying SMBS Security Payment Date (or Certificate Factor
Date). As a result, the Principal Distribution Amount in respect of any Underlying Certificate or
Underlying SMBS Security (or Trust Asset constituting a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate or
Underlying Callable Security) described in the preceding sentence shall be calculated on the
basis of such assumed (i.e., unchanged) factors, with the effect that no amounts in respect of
principal attributable to such Underlying Certificate or Underlying SMBS Security (or Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificate or Underlying Callable Security) shall be distributable on the related
Securities on the related Distribution Date.
14
II-4-14
(e)
Class Factors. Unless otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement, based
on, as appropriate, Certificate Factors, Corrected Certificate Factors, if any, and Calculated
Certificate Factors, if any, determined in accordance with Sections 3.02(a), (b), (c) and (d)
above, the Trustee shall calculate the Class Factors, the Principal Distribution Amount, the
Interest Distribution Amount and the Accrual Amount, in each case, as applicable, or any other
amounts distributable or accrued in respect of each Class, for the Distribution Date. In addition,
based on the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall calculate the Interest Rate for
each Class and the amount of principal and interest to be distributed to each Class on that
Distribution Date. The Trustee shall report the Interest Rate and the Class Factor for each Class
and any Calculated Certificate Factors and Corrected Certificate Factors (and other information
as requested by Ginnie Mae from time to time) to the Information Agent no later than 6:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the second Business Day preceding the Distribution Date; except that, in the case
of Security Groups for which the related Trust Assets consist of Ginnie Mae II Certificates, the
information described above shall be reported no later than 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the third
Business Day preceding the Distribution Date.
Section 3.03.
Payments on the Trust Assets.
(a)
Application of Payments. On each Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date,
Underlying Certificate Payment Date, Underlying Callable Security Payment Date and
Underlying SMBS Security Payment Date, as applicable, (i) the Book-Entry Depository shall be
entitled to all payments in respect of Trust Assets held through the facilities of the Book-Entry
Depository and shall credit the Trustee ABA Account with all such amounts; and (ii) each Trust
Asset Depository shall be entitled to all payments in respect of the remaining Trust Assets held
through the facilities of such Trust Asset Depository and shall credit the related Trust Asset
Depository Account with all such amounts. In each case, such amounts shall be held by the
applicable depository in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Trustee as the holder of the Trust
Assets. All amounts received in respect of Trust Assets and credited to the Trustee ABA
Account and the Trust Asset Depository Account, if applicable, shall be withdrawn therefrom by
the close of business on the date of receipt in such account and deposited into the Collection
Account for retention until the next Distribution Date for the related Securities; provided,
however, if the Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date, Underlying Callable Security Payment
Date, Underlying Certificate Payment Date or Underlying SMBS Security Payment Date
coincides with the Distribution Date for the related Securities (i.e., such amounts will be received
and distributed on the same day), then such amounts shall be immediately deposited into the
Collection Account from the Trustee ABA Account and the Trust Asset Depository Account, if
applicable, upon the receipt of such funds by the Trustee ABA Account and the Trust Asset
Depository Account, if applicable, and the Trustee shall immediately wire transfer such amounts
to the Book-Entry Depository Account for distribution pursuant to Sections 3.04(d) and (f)
hereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, by
no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (or such other time that may be approved by Ginnie Mae) on
such next Distribution Date for the related Securities, all amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account that are identified as (i) distributable as principal, interest and related Prepayment
Penalties, if any, in respect of Book-Entry Securities in respect of such Distribution Date shall be
withdrawn therefrom and deposited into the Book-Entry Depository Account for distribution
pursuant to Section 3.04(d) and (f); and (ii) distributable as principal, interest and related
Prepayment Penalties, if any, in respect of Uncertificated Securities that are registered to the
15
II-4-15
Trustee of the related MX Trust, if any, shall be withdrawn therefrom and deposited into the
Book-Entry Depository Account for distribution pursuant to Sections 3.04(c) and 3.04(d) hereof.
All remaining amounts on deposit in the Collection Account distributable as (a) principal,
interest and related Prepayment Penalties, if any, in respect of Certificated Securities in respect
of such Distribution Date, (b) Structural Excess and (c) Trustee Fee amounts and investment
earnings, shall be withdrawn therefrom for application pursuant to Section 3.04(e), (f) and (i) and
Section 3.06(c) hereof. In addition, no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on such Distribution
Date, amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in excess of the amounts set forth in the
preceding sentence (“Collection Excess Amounts”) shall be withdrawn therefrom and shall be
deposited in the Variance Account. The Trustee shall keep a separate accounting of Collection
Excess Amounts deposited into the Variance Account.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
Separate Application of Payments. The application of payments pursuant to
Section 3.03(a) shall be made separately in respect of each Trust REMIC other than an Issuing
REMIC. In the case of a Single REMIC Series in respect of a single Trust REMIC, each
reference to a Trust REMIC Account shall be understood to refer to the Segregated Portion of
such account corresponding to such Trust REMIC. In the case of a Series including side by side
Trust REMICs or one or more Pooling REMICs or one or more Issuing REMICs, each reference
to a Trust Account or Trust REMIC Account shall be understood to refer to the Segregated
Portion of such account corresponding to each such Trust REMIC.
Section 3.04.
Distributions on the Securities.
(a)
Distribution Date Statement. No later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the first
Business Day following each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall provide to the Information
Agent a Distribution Date Statement in such form as is approved by the Trustee and Ginnie Mae.
Each Distribution Date Statement will specify (i) the Trustee Fee paid to the Trustee and the
amounts of investment earnings or amounts held in the Collection Account, (ii) amounts
distributed on such Distribution Date as principal and interest on the Book-Entry Securities from
amounts on deposit in the Book-Entry Depository Account, (iii) amounts distributed on such
Distribution Date as Prepayment Penalties on the Book-Entry Securities from the Book-Entry
Depository Account, such amounts to be determined pursuant to the receipt of a notice from the
Ginnie Mae Issuer as to the Mortgagor’s payment of any Prepayment Penalties, (iv) amounts
distributed on such Distribution Date as principal and interest on the Certificated Securities from
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, (v) amounts distributed on such Distribution Date
as Prepayment Penalties on the Certificated Securities from the Collection Account, such
amounts to be determined pursuant to the receipt of a notice from the Ginnie Mae Issuer as to the
Mortgagor’s payment of any Prepayment Penalties, and (vi) the Ginnie Mae Interest Amount for
the Distribution Date from the immediately preceding calendar month.
(b)
Distribution Shortfall and Deposits from Ginnie Mae in respect of Guaranty.
(i)
No later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Distribution Date, the BookEntry Depository shall determine the amount, if any, by which (A) the amounts
distributable as principal and interest on the Book-Entry Securities on such Distribution
16
II-4-16
Date, exceed (B) the amounts on deposit in the Book-Entry Depository Account with
respect to such Distribution Date (the “Depository Shortfall Amount”). The Book-Entry
Depository immediately shall notify Ginnie Mae of the amount of such deficiency, and
the account or accounts to which Ginnie Mae should transfer such amounts.
(ii)
In the event that there are sufficient amounts in the Variance Account
(regardless whether such amounts are Collection Excess Amounts or Variance Account
Investment Earnings), to cover the Depository Shortfall Amount, the Trustee shall
withdraw the Depository Shortfall Amount from the Variance Account and wire transfer
such amount to the Book-Entry Depository Account no later than 10:01 a.m., and shall
immediately inform Ginnie Mae of any such transfer.
(iii)
Not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Business Day preceding
each Distribution Date the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by which (A) the
sum of (1) the amounts distributable as principal and interest on the Certificated
Securities on such Distribution Date and (2) the Trustee Fee payable on such Distribution
Date exceeds (B) the positive amount, if any, by which (1) the amounts received on the
Trust Assets on the related Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date, Underlying Certificate
Payment Date and Underlying SMBS Security Payment Date and excluding Prepayment
Penalties exceed (2) the amounts distributable as principal and interest on the Book-Entry
Securities on such Distribution Date (the “Certificated Shortfall Amount” and, together
with the Depository Shortfall Amount, the “Distribution Shortfall Amount”).
(iv)
In the event that there are Collection Excess Amounts and Variance
Account Investment Earnings in the Variance Account to cover the Certificated Shortfall
Amount, the Trustee shall withdraw the Certificated Shortfall Amount from the Variance
Account and transfer such amount to the Collection Account and shall notify Ginnie Mae
of any such transfer. In the event that after application of the amounts in the Variance
Account there still exists a Certificated Shortfall Amount, the Trustee shall withdraw the
remaining Certificated Shortfall Amount from the Variance Account Investment Earnings
on deposit in the Variance Account or combination of Variance Accounts from any other
Series established by the same Trustee, and transfer such amounts to the Collection
Account and shall notify Ginnie Mae of any such transfer. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Trustee’s use of (x) Collection Excess Amounts and Variance Account Investment
Earnings from the related Series and (y) Variance Account Investment Earnings from any
other Series, in each case to offset any Certificated Shortfall Amount does not constitutue
a Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment hereunder. If, as of such Distribution Date, the
Certificated Shortfall Amount is greater than the amounts on deposit in the Variance
Account and the Variance Account Investment Earnings on deposit in the Variance
Accounts of any other Series established by the same Trustee, the Trustee shall
immediately notify Ginnie Mae of the amount of such deficiency, and the account or the
accounts to which Ginnie Mae should transfer such amounts.
(c)
Uncertificated Securities. On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute
all amounts held in the Book-Entry Depository Account to the extent distributable as principal
and interest and related prepayment penalties, if any, on the Uncertificated Securities on each
17
II-4-17
Distribution Date. The Book-Entry Depository will credit the accounts of its record owners of
such Uncertificated Securities in accordance with the standard procedures.
(d)
Book-Entry Securities. The Trustee hereby directs the Book-Entry Depository to
withdraw from the Book-Entry Depository Account on each Distribution Date all amounts held
in such account, to the extent distributable as principal and interest and related Prepayment
Penalties, if any, on the Book-Entry Securities on that Distribution Date. On each Distribution
Date, the Book-Entry Depository will credit the accounts of its record owners of such BookEntry Securities in accordance with the standard procedures of the Book-Entry Depository.
(e)
Certificated Securities. On the Business Day following each Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall distribute from the Collection Account all amounts distributable on the
Certificated Securities to the Holders thereof.
(f)
Distributions. On each Distribution Date (or, with respect to Certificated
Securities, on the Business Day following each Distribution Date), the Trustee (and/or the BookEntry Depository on behalf of and pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee) shall make such
distributions on (and in the case of any HECM MBS Pass-Through Class, HECM MBS Accrual
Class, HECM MBS Weighted Average Coupon Class, HECM MBS Sequential Pay Class or any
Accrual Security, shall record any additions to the principal amount of) the Securities issued in
respect of any Trust as shall be provided in the related Trust Agreement. Any distributions or
accruals of interest made on a Distribution Date on the Securities issued in respect of a particular
Trust shall be at the Interest Rate set forth in or as otherwise described in the related Trust
Agreement and in respect of the related Accrual Period.
(g)
Allocations of Distributions. The Holders of any Class entitled to receive
distributions on any Distribution Date shall receive such distributions on a pro rata basis among
the Securities of such Class based on the principal balance, notional balance or percentage
interest of such Securities. All distributions of principal on the Securities issued in respect of a
particular Trust shall be made as provided in the related Trust Agreement. Unless otherwise
indicated in the Trust Agreement, all distributions made on any Security on any Distribution
Date (other than distributions in respect of Prepayment Penalties) shall be applied first to any
interest payable thereon on such Distribution Date and then to any principal thereof.
(h)
Interest Accrual. Unless otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement, the
amount of interest accrued on each Class during an Accrual Period and to be distributed thereon
(or, to the extent applicable in the case of an Accrual Security, added to the principal amount
thereof) on the related Distribution Date shall be 1/12th of the applicable Interest Rate multiplied
by the Class Principal Balance (or Class Notional Balance) of such Class prior to the distribution
of principal (or, in the case of an Accrual Security, the addition of accrued interest to principal)
on such Distribution Date. Interest on the Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
(i)
Distributions on Residual Securities. In addition to such other distributions on a
Class of Residual Securities as may be provided in the related Trust Agreement for the related
Series, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute (i) to the Holders of the Residual
Interest in each Trust REMIC, in the case of a Single REMIC Series, or in each Pooling REMIC,
18
II-4-18
in the case of a Double REMIC Series, any amounts remaining in the related Segregated Portion
of any Trust REMIC Account on such date (after the payment of all amounts distributable on
such date on the Regular Interests in such Trust REMIC or Pooling REMIC) that are attributable
to Structural Excess for such Trust REMIC or Pooling REMIC and (ii) to the Holders of the
Residual Interest in each Issuing REMIC in the case of a Double REMIC Series, any amounts
remaining in the related Pooling REMIC Subaccounts after the payment of all amounts
distributable therefrom on the related Regular Securities.
(j)
Ginnie Mae Interest Amounts. The Trustee shall distribute to Ginnie Mae the
Ginnie Mae Interest Amount with respect to that Distribution Date as soon as practicable but no
later than the first Business Day of the next succeeding calendar month following such
Distribution Date, as instructed by Ginnie Mae.
Section 3.05.
Conversion of Deposited Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificates.
Each Deposited Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificate may be redeemed prior to its
stated maturity date by the issuance of a pro rata interest in a Ginnie Mae Project Loan
Certificate. Upon issuance thereof, each pro rata interest in a Ginnie Mae Project Loan
Certificate will constitute a Trust Asset and shall be registered in accordance with Section 1.04
hereof. Subject to Section 7.03(v) hereof, the Trustee shall take all actions that it deems
necessary or advisable to facilitate the conversion of each Deposited Ginnie Mae Construction
Loan Certificate into a Ginnie Mae Project Loan Certificate (provided, that the conversion of a
Deposited Ginnie Mae Construction Loan Certificate into a Ginnie Mae Project Loan Certificate
shall not itself constitute or be considered to be a modification of the Trust MBS).
Section 3.06.
Ginnie Mae Guaranties and Guaranty Fee; Trustee Fee.
(a)
Ginnie Mae Guaranty. With respect to each Series, pursuant to the Guaranty
Agreement, Ginnie Mae, in exchange for the Ginnie Mae Guaranty Fee, has guaranteed to each
Holder of a Security the timely payment of principal and interest on the Holder’s Security in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Agreement.
(b)
Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payments. If the Book-Entry Depository and/or the
Trustee, as the case may be, discovers that payments on the Trust Assets underlying a Series
together with any funds available in the Variance Account, and the Variance Account Investment
Earnings on deposit in the Variance Account or combination of Variance Accounts of any other
Series established by the same Trustee, will be inadequate to distribute principal and interest to
the Securities of such Series on any Distribution Date in accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement, the Book-Entry Depository and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, promptly shall
inform Ginnie Mae that a Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment must be made. In that event, Ginnie
Mae (or its agent) will transfer the amount of the shortfall to the Book-Entry Depository Account
or Collection Account, as applicable, in immediately available funds in accordance with Section
3.04(b) hereof. At Ginnie Mae’s option, Ginnie Mae may instruct the Person designated by the
Trustee and acceptable to Ginnie Mae as the Person to hold funds on behalf of the Trustee
(which Person initially shall be The Bank of New York) to transfer such amount. In addition, if
on the Final Distribution Date of any Class, the funds available to be distributed on such Class
are insufficient to reduce the Class Principal Balance of such Class to zero, Ginnie Mae shall
19
II-4-19
make a Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment in the amount of such insufficiency. In the event that
Ginnie Mae makes any Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment to reduce the Class Principal Balance of
any Class to zero on its Final Distribution Date, such Class shall continue to be treated as
outstanding for all purposes, and Ginnie Mae shall be deemed to have purchased the related
Class and will be entitled to all subsequent distributions on such Class.
(c)
Trustee Fee. On the Business Day following each Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall withdraw for its own account from the Collection Account, the Trustee Fee and any
investment earnings payable with respect to such Distribution Date.
Section 3.07.
Reconciliation Process.
After a Distribution Date, at the request of Ginnie Mae, the Trustee shall reconcile
payments in accordance with applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines. Such reconciliation may
involve credits and charges to one or more Trust Accounts.
Section 3.08.
Determination of Interest Rate Indices.
(a)
General. Unless otherwise provided in the related Trust Agreement, each
Floating Rate and Inverse Floating Rate Class shall bear interest during each Accrual Period at a
rate determined by reference to one of the following interest rate indices: (1) 30-day Average
SOFR, (2) a Treasury Index, or (3) CME Term SOFR. Unless otherwise provided in the related
Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall obtain the applicable interest rate index in accordance with
this Section and shall compare the results with the applicable interest rate index posted on
ginniemae.gov by the Information Agent. If there is a discrepancy, the Trustee shall contact the
Information Agent to resolve the discrepancy. If the Trustee cannot resolve the discrepancy, the
Trustee will contact Ginnie Mae to resolve the difference, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
upon Ginnie Mae’s determination. Absent manifest error, Ginnie Mae’s determination of the
applicable interest rate index and its calculation of the Interest Rates of the Floating Rate and
Inverse Floating Rate Classes shall be final and binding.
(b)
Determination of 30-day Average SOFR. The Trustee (or its agent) shall calculate
the Interest Rates of 30-day Average SOFR Classes for each Accrual Period (after the initial
Accrual Period) on the related Floating Rate Adjustment Date using the 30-day Average SOFR
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on such day at or around the standard time
established for such publication by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such rate does not
appear by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, unless otherwise specified in writing by
Ginnie Mae in its sole discretion, the Trustee will use the last available 30-day Average of SOFR
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
(c)
Determination of the Treasury Index. The Trustee (or its agent) shall calculate the
Interest Rates of Treasury Index Classes for each Accrual Period (after the initial Accrual Period)
on the related Floating Rate Adjustment Date. On each Floating Rate Adjustment Date, the
Trustee will obtain the applicable Treasury Index, which (i) in the case of the weekly average
yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one, three, five, seven or ten
years or to some other constant maturity, will be as published by the Federal Reserve Board in
the most recent publication of Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release No. H.15 (519) that is
20
II-4-20
available to the Trustee and (ii) in the case of the auction average (investment) yield on threemonth or six-month U.S. Treasury bills, will be as made available to the Trustee on the Treasury
Public Affairs Information Line. The Trustee shall consider a new value for the Treasury Index
to have been made available on the day following the date it is released by the Federal Reserve
Board or placed on the Treasury Public Affairs Information Line.
(d)
Determination of CME Term SOFR. The Trustee (or its agent) will calculate the
Interest Rates of CME Term SOFR Classes for each Accrual Period (after the initial Accrual
Period) on the related Floating Rate Adjustment Date using the applicable CME Term SOFR
published by CME Group on such day at or around the standard time established for such
publication by CME Group. If the rate does not appear by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such
day, unless otherwise specified in writing by Ginnie Mae in its sole discretion, the Trustee will
use the last available CME Term SOFR published by CME Group.
(e)
Benchmark Replacement. If Ginnie Mae determines that a Benchmark Transition
Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred in respect of any
determination of any Benchmark on any date, Ginnie Mae will notify the Trustee in writing of
any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Replacement,
and thereafter, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all
purposes relating to the affected Classes in respect of such determination on such date and all
determinations on all subsequent dates. In the event the Benchmark does not appear on the
applicable screen on a Floating Rate Adjustment Date and the Trustee has not received written
notice from Ginnie Mae of the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date, then the Benchmark for such Floating Rate Adjustment Date will
be the last published Benchmark unless otherwise specified in writing by Ginnie Mae in its sole
discretion.
(f)
Replacement Rate Conforming Changes. In the event any Benchmark becomes
unavailable, Ginnie Mae will select a Replacement Rate and notify the Trustee of such
Replacement Rate in writing. In connection with the implementation of such Replacement Rate,
Ginnie Mae will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time without the
consent of security holders or any other party and will notify the Trustee of such Conforming
Changes in writing.
(g)
Replacement Rate Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision
or election that may be made by Ginnie Mae with respect to a Replacement Rate, including any
determination with respect to a rate, index, methodology, spread, tenor or other positive or
negative adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date
and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or making any election, will be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in Ginnie Mae’s sole discretion and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Floating Rate or
Inverse Floating Rate Classes, will become effective without consent from security holders or
any other party. For purposes of whether a Replacement Rate can be determined by Ginnie Mae
if a Replacement Rate is, in Ginnie Mae’s sole judgment, not administratively feasible, whether
due to technical, administrative or operational issues, then such Replacement Rate will be
deemed not determinable. Ginnie Mae assumes no liability with regard to identifying or
21
II-4-21
confirming that any cessation or replacement date or event has occurred, confirming that any
Replacement Rate has been published or selecting any Replacement Rate.
(h)
Replacement Rate Tax Opinion. In all cases and irrespective of any alternatives
or selection priorities described in this Section 3.08, Ginnie Mae will select only a Replacement
Rate as to which Ginnie Mae and the Trustee will receive a Replacement Rate Tax Opinion.
(i)
Limitation of Trustee Liability. In no event will the Trustee have any obligation
or liability with respect to (i) monitoring, determining or verifying the unavailability or cessation
of any Benchmark, Benchmark Replacement, Replacement Rate, Benchmark Transition Event,
Benchmark Replacement Date, or giving notice to any party of the occurrence of any Benchmark
Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) selecting, determining or designating any
Benchmark Replacement or Replacement Rate, or determining whether any conditions to the
designation of such a Benchmark Replacement or Replacement Rate, have been satisfied, (iii)
selecting, determining or designating any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect to
any Benchmark Replacement or Replacement Rate, or (iv) determining whether or what
Conforming Changes are necessary in connection with any of the foregoing.
Section 3.09.
Appointment of Information Agent.
Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, at the direction of Ginnie Mae, the
Trustee of each Trust has appointed The Bank of New York to be the Information Agent. Ginnie
Mae has reserved the right to substitute at any time another Person as the Information Agent.
Section 3.10.
Annual Reports.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year (but in no event
later than sixty days after the end of such calendar year), the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to Ginnie Mae and to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was the
Holder of a Security a statement containing (a) in the case of Regular Securities, the amount of
distributions allocable to principal and the amount allocable to interest, or (b) in the case of
Residual Securities, the amount of distributions, in each case with respect to the Class of which
such Holder’s Security is a part, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof
during which such Person was a Holder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the
Tax Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations and the
REMIC Provisions as are from time to time in force.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Section 4.01.
Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor.
The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a)
The Trust Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Sponsor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
22
II-4-22
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to
general principles of equity regardless whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law;
(b)
Neither the execution and delivery by the Sponsor of the Trust Agreement, nor the
consummation by the Sponsor of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance by the
Sponsor with the provisions thereof, will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under, any of the provisions of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Sponsor or
any law, governmental rule or regulation or any judgment, decree or order binding on the
Sponsor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, contract or other instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii)
result in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of its properties pursuant to
the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument;
(c)
The information (i) set forth in the Final Data Statement, (ii) with respect to a
Multifamily Series, set forth in Exhibit A and in Exhibit D, if any, to the Offering Circular
Supplement or (iii) with respect to any Series backed in whole or in part by HECM MBS, set
forth in Exhibit A to the Offering Circular Supplement, for such Series with respect to each Trust
Asset is true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date;
(d)

the covenants in the Sponsor Agreement) and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and
(f)
Each Ginnie Mae Multifamily Certificate, if any, included in the Trust constitutes
a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without

as a qualified mortgage, or any substantially similar successor provision).
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4.01 shall survive delivery of the Trust Assets to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee and Ginnie Mae notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
Upon the discovery by the Sponsor or upon the Trustee’s actual knowledge or receipt of notice
of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the Sponsor or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall promptly notify the other party to the Trust Agreement and Ginnie Mae, and in
no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery, actual knowledge or
receipt of notice, as applicable. In no event, however, will any failure to notify the other party to
the Trust Agreement and Ginnie Mae of such breach of representation and warranty absolve or
limit the Sponsor’s requirement to cure any such breach.
Section 4.02.
Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants as follows:
23
II-4-23
(a)
The Trustee acknowledges and declares that it holds and will hold the Trust
Assets identified in the case of any Series (other than any Series backed by Ginnie Mae
Multifamily Certificates and HECM MBS), in the Final Data Statement, or, in the case of any
Series backed by Ginnie Mae Multifamily Certificates or HECM MBS, in the Trustee’s Receipt

(a)
Within 90 days of the earlier of Sponsor’s discovery or notice to the Sponsor of
any breach by the Sponsor of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under a Sponsor
Agreement or the related Trust Agreement which breach, in the judgment of Ginnie Mae,
materially and adversely affects the value of any Trust Asset or the interest of the Trust therein,
the Sponsor shall (i) cure such breach, (ii) in the case of Trust MBS other than HECM MBS,
remove such affected Trust MBS from the Trust and substitute one or more Ginnie Mae

equal to the outstanding principal balance of the replaced Trust MBS, as reflected in the records
of the Trust, (C) with a Maturity Date no later than the Maturity Date of the replaced Trust MBS
and no earlier than six months prior to the Maturity Date of the replaced Trust MBS, (D) that are
entitled to payments on the following Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date (which shall be the
same Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date on which the replaced Trust MBS was payable) and
(E) that otherwise conform to the requirements of the Trust Agreement, (iii) in the case of
HECM MBS, remove such affected HECM MBS from the Trust and substitute one or more
HECM MBS (A) with a HECM MBS Rate equal to the HECM MBS Rate of the replaced

depositing with the Trust each Ginnie Mae Certificate to be substituted. However, no
substitution for a Trust MBS may be made 90 days or more after the Closing Date unless such
representations, warranties or covenants relate specifically to the characteristics of such Trust
MBS. No substitution for a Trust MBS may be made for any reason two years or more from the
24
II-4-24
Closing Date unless an Opinion of Counsel addressed to and satisfactory to Ginnie Mae is
delivered to the effect that such substitution will not adversely affect the status of the related
Trust REMIC or REMICs as REMICs for United States federal income tax purposes. In the
event that the Sponsor effects a substitution of Trust Assets, the Sponsor is hereby deemed to
make each of the Sponsor representations and warranties contained in the related Trust
Agreement, including in these Standard Trust Provisions, and in the Sponsor Agreement,
including in the Standard Sponsor Provisions, as of the date of substitution of such Trust Assets.
(b)
The Sponsor shall effect a purchase of a Trust Asset from the Trust by depositing

of the Trust Asset to be purchased, as reflected in the records of the Trustee, plus (ii) interest on
that amount at the Certificate Rate for the period from the date on which the Trust ceases to be
entitled to distributions of interest on the repurchased Trust Asset through the next succeeding
Accounting Date.
ARTICLE V
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01.
Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in the related Trust Agreement. The Trustee, upon receipt of any and all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of such Trust
Agreement, or that may be furnished to the Trustee at its request, shall examine them on their
face to determine whether they conform to the requirements of such Trust Agreement, and if the
Trustee determines such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments do so conform, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively
thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any digital or electronic signatures
appearing on any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or other instruments furnished to it and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise
verify the validity or authenticity thereof.
No provision of any Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee of such
Trust from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
misconduct; provided, however, that:
(a)
The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of the related Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the related Trust
Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the related Trust
Agreement against the Trustee;
(b)

faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is proved that the

The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken or
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Ginnie Mae

(d)
The Trustee with respect to any Trust shall not be personally liable with respect to
any action taken or suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of Holders of a Series evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of
each Class of Securities in such Series as to the enforcement by the Trustee of the Ginnie Mae
Guaranty.
The Information Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee, but rather the
agent of Ginnie Mae. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or damage to any
Trust attributable to the acts or omissions of the Information Agent.
Section 5.02.
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01, with respect to any Series:
(a)
The Trustee may request (at its sole expense, except as otherwise provided herein)
and rely conclusively upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, officers’ certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,

Transfer Affidavit, communication or document prima facie in proper form and believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

vested in it by the related Trust Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of Ginnie Mae or any of the
Holders of such Series, pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, unless (i) such
directing party has offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of Trustee’s counsel), and liabilities that may be
incurred by the Trustee with respect thereto or (ii) the need for or desirability of such institution,
conduct or defense results from the negligence of the Trustee;
(d)
The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken or suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by a Trust Agreement;
(e)
The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper, communications or document, unless requested in
writing so to do by Ginnie Mae or the Holders of a Series evidencing Percentage Interests
26
II-4-26
aggregating not less than 50% of all Securities in such Series; provided, however, that the
reasonable expense of such investigation shall be paid by the party requesting the investigation,
and the Trustee may require indemnity reasonably acceptable to it against the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation as a condition to
proceeding;
(f)
The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under any Trust Agreement
or perform any duties thereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys;

of an Opinion of Counsel supporting such determination to Ginnie Mae and consult with Ginnie
Mae as to ways in which such action can be taken in accordance with applicable law or
alternative courses of action; provided, that if the Trustee and Ginnie Mae cannot determine a
way in which the Trustee can take such action or alternative action in accordance with applicable
law, the Trustee shall not be required to take such action; and
(j)
The Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement (excluding its
duties explicitly set forth herein) or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if, there shall be
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of those funds or indemnity reasonably
acceptable to it against that risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Section 5.03.
Trustee Not Liable for Securities.
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of any Trust
Agreement or of any Securities (except that each Trust Agreement has been duly executed and is
binding on the Trustee, the Certificated Securities of each Series shall be duly and validly issued,
authorized, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and the Book-Entry Securities and
Uncertificated Securities of each Series shall be duly and validly issued, authorized and delivered
by the Trustee) or of any Trust Asset or any document related to any of the foregoing.

With respect to the Distribution Date in each month, the Trustee shall be paid
compensation for all services rendered by it in the execution of the Trust created by the Trust

records, making false statements or any other offense indicating a lack of business integrity that
seriously and directly could affect the responsibility of the Trustee, or such officer or
professional.
If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of the Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall notify Ginnie Mae in writing immediately and, if Ginnie Mae requests, shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 5.07 hereof.
Section 5.07.
Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may resign as Trustee of any Trust at any time and be discharged from the
trusts created under the related Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Ginnie Mae
and upon appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to Section 5.08. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, Ginnie Mae may appoint a successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 90 days after the giving of such
28
II-4-28
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor trustee acceptable to Ginnie Mae.
Ginnie Mae may remove the Trustee for cause at any time. For the purposes of this

A court or regulatory authority having jurisdiction in the premises, including
without limitation the FDIC and any similar state authority, entering a decree or order for relief
in respect of the Trustee in an involuntary case under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar law or regulation, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect, or
appointing a receiver, conservator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar
official for the Trustee or for all or any substantial part of its property, or order the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs;
(e)
The Trustee’s commencing a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or other similar law or regulation, state or federal, now
or hereafter in effect, or consenting to or acquiescing in the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any such law, or consenting to or acquiescing in the appointment of or
taking of possession by a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official for the Trustee or for all or any substantial part of its
property, or making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Trustee’s generally
failing to pay its debts as they become due;
(f)
The discovery that any Location-Based Tax, other tax or other charge levied or
threatened to be levied against a Trust on account of the situs of the Trustee could be avoided by
the appointment of a successor trustee, to the extent that Ginnie Mae determines that such tax or
other change may not be adequately covered by the Trustee; or
(g)
The removal for cause of the Trustee as the trustee of any trust that has issued
securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 5.08 hereof but in no event shall
become effective until a successor has been appointed and has accepted the duties of the Trustee.
Any liability of the Trustee under a Trust Agreement arising prior to such termination shall
survive such termination.
To the extent that a successor trustee is entitled to receive reasonable compensation in
excess of compensation payable to the Trustee under the related Trust Agreement, the Trustee
29
II-4-29
shall indemnify Ginnie Mae and the Trust for the amount of such excess and shall provide such
security for such indemnity as Ginnie Mae may require.
Section 5.08.
Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed to serve as Trustee of a Trust as provided in Section 5.07
hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Ginnie Mae and its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment under the related Trust Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under the Trust Agreement, with the same
effect as if originally named as trustee therein. The predecessor trustee shall immediately deliver
to the successor trustee all documents and statements held by it under the applicable Trust
Agreement, and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. The predecessor trustee
shall perform the duties and obligations imposed on it in this Section irrespective of any stay
arising from, any injunction or other process issued pursuant to, and any restriction or limitation
imposed by any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or other similar law or
regulation, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect, including without limitation 11 U.S.C.
§§ 105, 362 and 18 U.S.C. §§ 1821, 1823, each as amended from time to time. In the event the
predecessor trustee fails to perform the duties and obligations imposed on it in this Section,
Ginnie Mae may take any action it deems necessary or advisable to cause the performance of
such duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee is eligible under the provisions of Section 5.06
hereof.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the
successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders at
their addresses as shown in the Register.

Appointment of Co-Trustee.
The Trustee shall be permitted to appoint a Person that either meets the eligibility
requirements to act as a Trustee hereunder or otherwise has been approved in writing by Ginnie
Mae to act as co-trustee with respect to the Trust. Any such co-trustee may perform any of the
duties and obligations of the Trustee hereunder, provided, however, that any such appointment of
any co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of any of its obligations and duties hereunder. The
Trustee shall continue to remain liable for the performance of all such duties and obligations
hereunder (including the obligation to indemnify Ginnie Mae pursuant to Section 5.11, 5.12,
5.13), irrespective of the appointment of any co-trustee to perform such duties or obligations on
behalf of the Trustee.
30
II-4-30
Section 5.10.
Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which a Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which such Trustee may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business or assets of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee under
the related Trust Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties to the Trust Agreement, provided such corporation is eligible under the
provisions of Section 5.06 hereof.
Section 5.11.
Indemnification of HUD and Ginnie Mae.
The Trustee for each Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless HUD and Ginnie Mae
(including each official, officer, employee and agent of HUD and Ginnie Mae) from and against
any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, or expenses (including, without limitation, all
attorneys’ fees and related charges and expenses) resulting, directly or indirectly, from any
Trustee default or other failure to perform under the related Trust Agreement. Without limiting
the foregoing, Ginnie Mae’s right to indemnification hereunder shall include the right to
reimbursement of any and all amounts paid by Ginnie Mae to any Holder of such Series as a
result of any failure of the Trustee properly to calculate the amount of any required distribution
to any such Holder or to cause the proper distributions to be made to any such Holder, together
with interest thereon at a rate equal to the yield on three-month Treasury securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will not be liable for any action reasonably taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized by the Trust
Agreement.

Underlying Callable Securities.
In the event that a vote of the holders of Underlying Certificates, Underlying SMBS
Securities or Underlying Callable Securities is required pursuant to the trust agreement
governing any Underlying Trust, Underlying SMBS Trust or Underlying Callable Trust, the
Trustee shall vote in respect of the Underlying Certificate, Underlying SMBS Securities or
Underlying Callable Securities in a manner that, in its sole judgment, is consistent with the best
interests of the holders of such Underlying Certificate, Underlying SMBS Security or Underlying
Callable Security, and the Trustee shall have no liability for any such determination made under

Section 5.13.
Performance Reviews by Ginnie Mae.
At its sole discretion, and from time to time, Ginnie Mae shall have the right to undertake

and the review of any books, records or documents of the Trustee (or any subcontractor) which

ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION
Section 6.01.
Termination by the Trustee.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Securities in a particular Series, after giving effect to distributions otherwise to be made on that
date, is less than 1% of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances, the Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, effect a termination of the related Trust and retirement of the related
Securities either by (i) purchasing all of the Trust Assets remaining in the Trust for the
Termination Price or (ii) causing the sale of such assets to one or more third parties for a price
greater than or equal to the Termination Price, and in either case, depositing the Termination
Price into the Book-Entry Depository Account. The Trustee shall retain for its personal benefit
any financial gain arising from such purchase or sale as additional compensation.
On any Distribution Date, upon the Trustee’s determination, based upon an Opinion of
Counsel, that the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC has been lost or that a substantial risk exists
that such status will be lost for the then current taxable year, the Trustee shall effect a
termination of the Trust, or if applicable, such Trust REMIC and any related Trust REMICs and
shall retire the related Securities in the manner described above.
The Trustee promptly shall mail notice of any termination to be caused by its purchase of
the assets of the Trust or one or more Trust REMICs to Holders not earlier than the fifteenth day
and not later than the twentieth day of the month preceding the month of the final distribution.
The notice shall specify (a) the final Distribution Date (which shall be the next Distribution
Date) upon which the Holders of Certificated Securities may surrender their Securities to the
Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, (b) the office of the Registrar at
which Holders may surrender their Certificated Securities, (c) the amount of any final payment
and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to that Distribution Date is not applicable
because final distributions will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificated
Securities at the office or agency of the Registrar specified in the notice. The Trustee shall give
this notice to Ginnie Mae at the time the notice is given to Holders, and shall deposit the
Termination Price into the Book-Entry Depository Account no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time
on the final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificated Securities, pursuant to such a notice,
the Trustee shall, to the extent of available funds, cause to be distributed on the final Distribution
Date to Holders of any Class of Securities, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests,
an amount equal to the applicable Class Principal Balance, if any, together with any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Interest Rate.
32
II-4-32
The following additional requirements shall be met in the event of any termination of the
Trust or any Trust REMIC pursuant to this Section 6.01 (including as a result of the redemption
of Underlying Callable Securities):
(a)
within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee, on behalf of each
related Trust REMIC, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions (which plan the Trustee may adopt by
attaching to each Trust REMIC’s final United States federal income tax return a statement
specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period);
(b)
upon making final payment of principal and interest on the related Securities or
depositing any unclaimed funds otherwise distributable to the Holders of such Securities in the
Termination Account (established pursuant to Section 6.03) on the final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the
related Residual Securities, all cash on hand, if any, relating to the applicable Trust REMIC
(other than cash retained to meet claims), and each Trust REMIC shall terminate at that time; and
(c)
in no event may the final payment on the related Securities or the related Pooling
REMIC Subaccounts, if any, be made after the 90th day from the date on which the plan of
complete liquidation is adopted. A payment into the Termination Account with respect to any
Security pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof shall be deemed a final payment on, or final distribution
with respect to, such Security for the purposes of this clause.
The Holder of a Residual Security issued by the Trust, by its acceptance of such Security,
authorizes and is deemed to take whatever action may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete
liquidation of the related Trust REMIC upon the written request of the Trustee, and this
authorization shall bind all successor Holders of the Residual Security.
Section 6.02.
Termination of Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Sponsor and the Trustee created by
the Trust Agreement (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to
Holders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Trustee to send certain notices
as set forth herein) shall terminate upon (a) the payment of all principal and accrued interest on
the Securities and Pooling REMIC Subaccounts, if any, and all other amounts due and owing by
the Trustee under such Trust Agreement and (b) the last action required to be taken by the
Trustee on the final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article VI following the earlier of (i) the
purchase by the Trustee of all Trust Assets remaining in the Trust pursuant to Section 6.01
hereof at a price equal to the Termination Price and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or
any advance with respect thereto) of the last Trust Asset remaining in the Trust; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years less one day from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy,
the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.
Section 6.03.
Termination Account.
If all of the Holders do not surrender their Securities for final payment and cancellation
on or before the final Distribution Date, the Trustee, on the final Distribution Date, shall
33
II-4-33
withdraw all funds remaining in the Trust Accounts and shall credit those remaining funds to the
Holders who did not surrender their Securities by depositing such funds in a Termination
Account for the benefit of such Holders, and the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the
remaining Holders to surrender their Securities for cancellation and receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the sending of the second notice all the Securities
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps, at the
direction of Ginnie Mae, if Ginnie Mae chooses to provide direction, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Holders concerning surrender of their Securities,
and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in the Termination Account. The
Trustee shall not invest or owe interest on funds in the Termination Account. The Trustee shall
maintain the Termination Account for five years, subject to applicable laws of escheatment, after
which time the assets shall be transferred to Ginnie Mae.
ARTICLE VII
REMIC TAX PROVISIONS
Section 7.01.
REMIC Administration.
Each Holder of a Residual Interest in a Trust REMIC hereby designates the Tax
Administrator or person designated by the Tax Administrator, as its agent, to act as the Tax
Matters Representative of such Trust REMIC and to perform certain tax administration functions
of such Trust REMIC as set forth in this Section.
(a)
With respect to each Trust, the related Trustee shall elect (on behalf of each Trust
REMIC to be created) on Form 1066 to have each Asset Pool treated as a REMIC for the taxable
year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Securities are issued as well as on
any corresponding state tax or information return necessary to have such Asset Pool treated as a
REMIC or comparable pass-through entity under state law. Pursuant to such election or
elections, (i) in the case of a Single REMIC Series, (x) if a single Trust REMIC is established,
the Trustee shall designate the Class R Securities as the Residual Interest and shall designate the
other REMIC Securities as the Regular Interests, or (y) if side-by-side Trust REMICs are
established, the Trustee shall designate each Class of Class R Securities corresponding to a Trust
REMIC (or the interest in each Trust REMIC represented by the Class RR Securities) as the
Residual Interest in such Trust REMIC, and shall designate the other REMIC Securities as
Regular Interests in the related Trust REMIC, and (ii) in the case of a Double REMIC Series, (x)
the Trustee shall designate either the related Class of Class RP Securities corresponding to a
Pooling REMIC or the interest in the related Pooling REMIC represented by the Class RR
Securities (as the case may be) as the Residual Interest in the related Pooling REMIC and shall
designate the related Pooling REMIC Subaccounts as the Regular Interests in the related Pooling
REMIC, and (y) the Trustee shall designate either the Class RI Securities corresponding to an
Issuing REMIC or the interest in such Issuing REMIC represented by the Class RR Securities (as
the case may be) as the Residual Interest in such Issuing REMIC and shall designate the other
related REMIC Securities (excluding the Class RP Securities, if any) as the Regular Interests in
the related Issuing REMIC. The “latest possible maturity date” of the Regular Interests within
the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the 36th Distribution Date
34
II-4-34
following the month during which the last maturing Mortgage Loan in the related REMIC
matures.
(b)
With respect to each Trust, the Closing Date is hereby designated as the Startup
Day of each related Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c)
With respect to each Trust, the Tax Administrator shall pay in a timely manner:
(i)
the amount of any United States federal, state and local taxes imposed on
the Trust or a related Trust REMIC or Asset Pool out of amounts in any of the Trust
Accounts (except for Location-Based Taxes attributable to the Tax Administrator, which
shall be paid by the Tax Administrator out of its own funds); provided, however, that the
Tax Administrator may decide, provided it has received the written permission of Ginnie
Mae, to pay or deposit such tax but subsequently to contest such tax, or, if permitted by
law, to refrain from paying such tax pending the outcome of the contest of such tax, and
(ii)
out of its own funds, any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes)
of the Trust and each related Trust REMIC or Asset Pool, including but not limited to any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial
proceedings with respect to each such Trust REMIC that involves the Internal Revenue
Service or state or local tax authorities; provided, however, that the Tax Administrator
may pay out of amounts in any of the Trust Accounts the reasonable cost of contesting a
tax imposed on the Trust or a related Trust REMIC or Asset Pool, provided that the Tax
Administrator has received Ginnie Mae’s written permission to engage in the contest.
(d)
With respect to each Trust, the Tax Administrator shall maintain all books,
records, and supporting documents of the related Trust REMICs that are necessary to comply
with any and all aspects of the Tax Administrator’s duties under the Trust Agreement and other
Closing Documents.
(e)
For each Trust, the related Tax Administrator shall timely prepare, sign (or, as
appropriate, submit to the Trustee for signature) and file all of the United States federal, state,
and local tax and information returns (other than Forms 1099 or applicable successor forms) of
the Trust and each related Trust REMIC or Asset Pool. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right to reimbursement by the
Trustee or from amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts.
(f)
The Tax Administrator for each Trust shall assist the Trustee in performing in a
timely manner all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust and each related Trust REMIC or Asset Pool under the REMIC Provisions or state or local
tax law. Upon the Tax Administrator’s request, the Trustee shall provide the Tax Administrator
with a list of Holders of record and any other information reasonably necessary to the Tax
Administrator in the performance of its duties. Among its other duties, the Tax Administrator,
acting as agent of each Trust REMIC, shall compile and deliver (or provide, by mail, telephone
or publication as may be permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations) (i) to the Treasury or
other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of an Ownership Interest to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the
35
II-4-35
Trustee such information or reports as are required under the REMIC Provisions to be provided
to the Treasury or other governmental authority and to the holders of the Regular Interests and
Residual Interests in the Trust REMIC. As a specific exception to the foregoing, however, the
Trustee shall produce (based on income information prepared by the Tax Administrator) and
distribute any Forms 1099 (or applicable successor forms) that are required to be distributed
under the Code and Treasury regulations.
(g)
With respect to each Trust, the Tax Administrator, the Trustee and the Holders of
Residual Interests shall take any action or cause the related Trust REMIC to take any action
necessary to create or maintain the status of such Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.
(h)
With respect to each Trust, neither the Tax Administrator, the Trustee nor the
Holder of a Residual Interest shall take any action or fail to take any action, or cause any Trust
REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that, if taken or not taken, could endanger the
status of any such Trust REMIC as a REMIC unless the Trustee and the Tax Administrator have
received the consent of Ginnie Mae and an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take or to fail to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action or failure
to act will not endanger such status.
(i)
With respect to each Trust, the Trustee, with the assistance of the Tax
Administrator, shall perform in a timely manner the reporting duties that are the responsibility of
the Trust and each related Trust REMIC under the REMIC provisions as described in Section
7.01(f) hereof and all applicable withholding of United States federal tax as required by the Code
with respect to Holders and holders of Pooling REMIC Interests that are Non-U.S. Persons. The
Trustee shall evaluate applicable exemptions from such withholding, and shall file or cause to be
filed with the Internal Revenue Service all applicable returns related to such withholding.
(j)
As a condition to the payment of any principal of or interest on any Security or
beneficial interest therein without the imposition of withholding tax, the Trustee or the Tax
Administrator may require the previous delivery of (i) a properly completed and signed
certification, including an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in
the case of a Person that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code or the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor
form) and any applicable attachments in the case of a Person that is not a “United States person”
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and (ii) any documentation that is
required under the Code (including, without limitation, Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code)
to enable the Trustee or the Tax Administrator to determine its duties and liabilities with respect
to any taxes that it may be required to withold pursuant to the Code.
(k)
With respect to each Trust and each Trust REMIC, unless otherwise provided in
the related Trust Agreement, the fiscal year of such Trust and each Trust REMIC shall run from
January 1 (or from the Closing Date, in the case of the first fiscal year) through December 31.
(l)
The Trustee shall reimburse the Trust for any Location-Based Taxes.
36
II-4-36
(m)
For any taxable years for which Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code apply to
a Trust REMIC, the Tax Matters Representative, as partnership representative, is authorized and
directed to appoint a “designated individual” if required and to utilize any exceptions available
under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (including changes) so that Holders of the
Residual Interests, to the fullest extent possible, rather than the Trust REMIC itself, will be liable
for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to the Trust REMIC’s taxable income. In
connection with the preceding sentence, the Tax Matters Representative shall, to the extent any
such Trust REMIC is eligible, make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect
to each such Trust REMIC and take any other action such as disclosures and notifications
necessary to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not
available, to the extent applicable, the Tax Matters Representative, as partnership representative,
shall make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to each such Trust
REMIC and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary to
effectuate such election. Consistent with the foregoing, the Tax Matters Representative is
authorized to make any available election related to Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code and
take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code
and conduct each such REMIC’s affairs under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code. In the
event of an audit or other administrative proceeding with a taxing authority, the Tax Matters
Representative shall not take any action as partnership representative without the consent of
Ginnie Mae.

Administrator. The Trustee may subcontract with another Person acceptable to Ginnie Mae to
undertake these obligations. In addition, Ginnie Mae reserves the right to require the Trustee to

subcontract shall not relieve the Trustee, however, of any responsibility for the tax
administration of the Trust or of liability for breaches of the obligations of the Tax Administrator
under the Trust Agreement.
(b)
If the Tax Administrator for a Trust is unable for any reason to fulfill its duties as
Tax Administrator of the related Trust REMIC or REMICs, the Tax Administrator shall
immediately notify Ginnie Mae and the Trustee. Upon notification, the Trustee may appoint
another Person acceptable to Ginnie Mae to act as Tax Administrator for the related Trust
REMIC or REMICs or Ginnie Mae may direct the Trustee to appoint another Person to act in
such capacity.
(c)
Except as provided in a Trust Agreement, Ginnie Mae has reserved the right to
remove the Tax Administrator for cause at any time. For the purposes of this Section “cause”
shall mean one of the following:

Trust Agreement;
(ii)
Failure on the part of the Tax Administrator to observe or perform any
other of its covenants set forth in the related Trust Agreement;

of the Tax Administrator in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Tax
Administrator or for all or substantially all of its property, or order the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs; or
(iv)
The Tax Administrator commencing a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consenting to
the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consenting to

custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Tax Administrator or for any
substantial part of its property, or making any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the Tax Administrator failing generally to pay its debts as they become due.
(d)
Any resignation or removal of the Tax Administrator and appointment of a
successor Tax Administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Tax Administrator as provided in
Section 7.02(e) below. Any liability of the Tax Administrator under a Trust Agreement arising
prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
(e)
The successor Tax Administrator appointed to serve as Tax Administrator of a
Trust REMIC as provided in this Section shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Ginnie Mae
and its predecessor Tax Administrator a written acceptance of such appointment under the
related Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Tax
Administrator shall become effective and such successor Tax Administrator, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor under such Trust Agreement, with the same effect as if originally
named as Tax Administrator therein.

Section 8.01.
Limitation of Rights of Holders.
The death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in a

such Securities for the purpose of receiving distributions of principal or interest and for all other
purposes, and neither the Trustee, Ginnie Mae nor the Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee,
Ginnie Mae or the Registrar, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such
distributions so made to the Holder or upon such Holder’s order shall be valid and, to the extent
of the sum or sums so distributed, effectual to satisfy and discharge the duty for monies
distributable by the Trustee upon such Securities.

rights of a Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Security with respect to the Trustee, Ginnie Mae
and the Registrar may be exercised only through the Holder, which is the Book-Entry Depository
or its nominee. The Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the Registrar will have no obligation to a
Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Security because such obligations are satisfied directly to the
Book-Entry Depository.

This Security evidences a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class indicated
on the face hereof issued by the Trust, the assets of which consist primarily of the Trust Assets.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT
_______________________
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Security (either explicitly
specified above or obtained by dividing the denomination of this Security by the aggregate of the
denominations of all Securities of this Class) in any monthly distributions allocable to this Class
of Securities. The Securities were issued by the Trust created pursuant to a trust agreement (the
“Trust Agreement”) between the Sponsor and the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but
solely as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement and Glossary in the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities
Guide in effect on the Closing Date. This Security is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which the Holder of this Security, by virtue
of the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, a distribution will be made on [the [
]
day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter] (each,
a “Distribution Date”), commencing in the month following the month of the Closing Date, to
the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the last Business
Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the related “Record
Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Security
and the distributions, if any, allocable to this Class pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on Certificated Securities of this Class will be made
on the Business Day following the Distribution Date.
This Security is limited in right of payment to certain collections in respect of the Trust
Assets and the Ginnie Mae Guaranty, all as more specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement.
This Security does not represent an obligation of the Sponsor or the Trustee or either of their
affiliates.
Distributions on Book-Entry Securities shall be made on each Distribution Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Book-Entry Depository. Distributions on any
Certificated Security shall be made on the Business Day following each Distribution Date (a) by
check mailed to the Holder thereof at its address reflected in the Register as of the related Record
Date or (b) upon receipt by the Trustee from a Holder of a written request and wire instructions
at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds on the Business Day following the related Distribution Date and each subsequent
Distribution Date to the account of such Holder, if such Holder holds Securities having an initial
aggregate principal balance of at least $5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
distribution in retirement of any Security will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
the certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement may be
amended for any purpose, without the consent of any Holder or Holders. However, the Trust
Exhibit 2
II-4-53
Agreement may not be amended without the consent of the affected Holders if the effect of such
amendment is to alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of principal or interest
(including distributions made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guaranty) to any Holder, or the right
of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon this
Security.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Holder of this Security may register the transfer of this Security in the Register by
surrendering this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The surrendered Security
must be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender, one or
more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this Class initially are issuable in the form specified on the cover hereto
and in denominations specified in the Trust Agreement. As provided in the Trust Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth (a) Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Securities
may request Certificated Securities for a fee of $25,000 per physical certificate, (b) Holders of
Certificated Securities may, upon request, surrender their Certificated Securities and become the
Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Security of like tenor and denomination and (c) all Securities
are exchangeable for new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same. There will be a service charge for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Trustee and any agent of the Tax
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust shall terminate upon the
payment to Holders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to
them pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement permits, but does not require, the
Trustee to purchase all assets held by the Trust, at a price determined as provided in the Trust
Agreement, when the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Securities is less than 1%
of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances of the Securities. Any exercise by the
Trustee of such option would effect early retirement of the Securities. In addition, the [Trust]
[the related Trust REMICs)] may be terminated by the Trustee (and the [related] Securities
retired) under certain circumstances in which the REMIC status of any [related] Trust REMIC is
threatened.

This Security evidences a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class R[ ]
Securities issued by the Trust, the assets of which consist primarily of the Trust Assets.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT
_______________________________
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Security (either explicitly
specified above or obtained by dividing the denomination of this Security by the aggregate of the
denominations of all Securities of this Class) in any monthly distributions allocable to this Class
of Securities. The Securities were issued by the Trust created pursuant to a trust agreement (the
“Trust Agreement”) between the Sponsor and the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but
solely as Trustee. The capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Trust Agreement and Glossary in the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Guide in effect on
the Closing Date. This Security is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Trust Agreement to which the Holder of this Security, by virtue of its
acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The distribution date is the respective day of each month provided in Section 3.04(i) of
the Standard Trust Provisions for distributions to Holders of the Residual Interest (each, a
“Distribution Date”), commencing in the month following the month of the Closing Date.
Nevertheless, pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, distributions will not be made on
this Security until the Business Day following each Distribution Date. Distributions will be
made to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the related
“Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Security and the distributions, if any, allocable to this Class of Securities pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.
Exhibit 3
II-4-61
This Security is limited in right of payment to certain collections in respect of the [Group
[ ]] Trust Assets and the Ginnie Mae Guaranty, all as more specifically set forth in the Trust
Agreement. This Security does not represent an obligation of the Sponsor or the Trustee or
either of their affiliates.
Distributions on this Security will be made by check mailed to the Holder at its address
reflected in the Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
distribution in retirement of this Security will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
this Security at the Corporate Trust Office.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement may be
amended for any purpose, without the consent of any Holder or Holders of the Securities.
However, the Trust Agreement may not be amended without the consent of the affected Holders
if the effect of such amendment is to alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of
principal or interest (including distributions made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guaranty) to any
Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon
this Security.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
the Holder of this Security may register the transfer of this Security in the Register by
surrendering this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The surrendered Security
must be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender, one or
more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Class R[ ] Securities are issuable as Certificated Securities without coupons in the
minimum denomination or Percentage Interest specified in the Trust Agreement. As provided in
the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Class R[ ] Security
is exchangeable for one or more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. The Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Class R[ ] Security.
The Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Trustee and any agent of the Tax
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
An election will be made to treat the Asset Pool [containing the Group [ ] Trust Assets]
as a REMIC (the “Trust REMIC”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). Assuming that such election is made properly and that certain
qualification requirements concerning the Asset Pool and the Securities are met, the Holder of
Exhibit 3
II-4-62
this Class R[ ] Security will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the
beneficial owner of a “residual interest” in the Trust REMIC. Accordingly, the Holder of this
Class R[ ] Security will be taxed on its pro rata share of the Trust REMIC’s taxable income or
net loss. The requirement that the Holder of this Class R[ ] Security report its pro rata share of
such income or loss will continue until there are no [related] Securities of any Class outstanding.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Tax Administrator, as agent of the Trust REMIC,
will provide the Holder of this Class R[ ] Security with information sufficient to enable such
Holder to prepare (i) its United States federal income tax and information returns and (ii) any
reports required by the Code regarding the Securities, except where such information is provided
to each such Holder by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement. As the Holder of the
residual interest in the Trust REMIC, the Holder of this Class R[ ] Security will have continuing
administrative rights and obligations with respect to such REMIC generally similar to those of a
partner with respect to its partnership. Such rights and obligations principally concern the Trust
REMIC’s United States federal income tax and information returns and the representation of the
Trust REMIC in administrative or judicial proceedings involving the Internal Revenue Service.
The Tax Administrator, however, will act on behalf of the Holder of this Class R[ ] Security as
the representative of the Trust REMIC for such proceedings. The United States federal income
tax and information returns of the Trust REMIC will be prepared by the Tax Administrator and
signed and filed by the Trustee.
By accepting this Security, the Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by all of the
provisions of the Trust Agreement and, in particular, agrees that it shall (i) take any action
required by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder in order to create or maintain the
REMIC status of the Trust REMIC and (ii) refrain from taking any action that could endanger
such status.
No transfer of this Security (or any beneficial interest therein) is permitted without the
written consent of the Trustee. As a condition to that consent, any Transferee (including the
initial purchaser) of this Security must provide the Trustee with a properly completed Transfer
Affidavit, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Standard Trust Provisions, in which the
proposed Transferee represents and warrants to the Trustee that it (i) is a Permitted Transferee
and (ii) is not a Plan Investor. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of that condition, the Trustee may
withhold its consent to a transfer, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of (i)
disqualification of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) the imposition of a tax upon the Trust
REMIC. In addition, the Trustee shall not give its consent to the transfer of less than all of a
Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security unless the transferred interest can be expressed
as a single constant percentage of the Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be null and void and shall not be
recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by the Trust REMIC as a result of the transfer of this
Class R[ ] Security, or any beneficial interest therein, in violation of the restrictions set forth
herein and in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts
that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of this Class R[ ] Security, or beneficial
interest therein. In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to
seek repayment of such amounts from the Trustee, Ginnie Mae, the Trust, the Tax Administrator,
Exhibit 3
II-4-63
the Sponsor or the Holders of the other Securities. The Tax Administrator shall make, or cause
to be made, available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the
Code.
The obligations created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust shall terminate upon the
payment to the Holders of the Securities of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Trustee to purchase all assets held by the Trust, at a price determined as
provided in the Trust Agreement, when the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Securities is less than 1% of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances of such
Securities. Any exercise by the Trustee of such option would effect early retirement of the
Securities. In addition, the Trust [REMIC] may be terminated by the Trustee (and the [related]
Securities retired) under certain circumstances in which the REMIC status of the Trust REMIC is
threatened.
Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature this Security shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Exhibit 4
II-4-70
This Security is limited in right of payment to certain collections in respect of the [Group
[ ]] Trust Assets and the Ginnie Mae Guaranty, all as more specifically set forth in the Trust
Agreement. This Security does not represent an obligation of the Sponsor or the Trustee or
either of their affiliates.
Distributions on this Security will be made by check mailed to the Holder at its address
reflected in the Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
distribution in retirement of this Security will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
this Security at the Corporate Trust Office.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement may be
amended for any purpose, without the consent of any Holder or Holders of the Securities.
However, the Trust Agreement may not be amended without the consent of the affected Holders
if the effect of such amendment is to alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of
principal or interest (including distributions made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guaranty) to any
Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon
this Security.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
the Holder of this Security may register the transfer of this Security in the Register by
surrendering this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The surrendered Security
must be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender, one or
more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Class RR[ ] Securities are issuable as Certificated Securities without coupons in the
minimum denomination or Percentage Interest specified in the Trust Agreement. As provided in
the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Class RR[ ] Security
is exchangeable for one or more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. The Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Class RR[ ] Security.
The Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Trustee and any agent of the Tax
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Elections will be made to treat each Asset Pool [relating to the Group [ ] Trust Assets] as
a REMIC (the “[Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC” and the “[Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC,” and
together the “Trust REMICs”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). [Assuming that such elections are made properly and that certain
Exhibit 4
II-4-71
qualification requirements concerning the Asset Pools and the Securities are met, the Holder of
this Class RR[ ] Security will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the
beneficial owner of a “residual interest” in [each of][the] [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC and the
[Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC. Accordingly, the Holder of this Class RR[ ] Security will be taxed
on its pro rata share of each of the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC’s [REMICs’] and the [Group [ ]]
Issuing REMIC’s taxable income or net loss.] The requirement that the Holder of this Class
RR[ ] Security report its pro rata share of such income or loss will continue until there are no
[related] Securities of any Class outstanding.
The registered Holder of a Class RR[ ] Security will be entitled to separate such Security
into its component parts. The Trustee shall, upon delivery to it of this Class RR[ ] Security and
a written request of the registered Holder thereof to separate such Security into its component
parts, issue to such registered Holder in exchange for such Class RR[ ] Security (i) a separately
transferable, certified and fully registered security substantially in the form of Exhibit 5 to the
Standard Trust Provisions (a “Class RP[ ] Security”) that will, from the date of its issuance,
represent the Holder’s Percentage Interest in the Residual Interest in the [related] [Group [ ]]
Pooling REMIC and (ii) a separately transferable, certified and fully registered security
substantially in the form of Exhibit 6 to the Standard Trust Provisions (a “Class RI[ ] Security”)
that will, from the date of its issuance, represent the Holder’s Percentage Interest in the Residual
Interest in the [related] [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC. The Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such
exchange of this Class RR[ ] Security.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Tax Administrator, as agent of the Trust REMICs,
will provide the Holder of this Class RR[ ] Security with information sufficient to enable such
Holder to prepare (i) its United States federal income tax and information returns and (ii) any
reports required by the Code regarding the Securities, except where such information is provided
to each such Holder by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement. As the Holder of a residual
interest in each of the Trust REMICs, the Holder of this Class RR[ ] Security will have
continuing administrative rights and obligations with respect to each such REMIC generally
similar to those of a partner with respect to its partnership. Such rights and obligations
principally concern the Trust REMICs’ United States federal income tax and information returns
and the representation of the Trust REMICs in administrative or judicial proceedings involving
the Internal Revenue Service. The Tax Administrator, however, will act on behalf of the Holder
of this Class RR[ ] Security as the representative of the Trust REMICs for such proceedings.
The United States federal income tax and information returns of the Trust REMICs will be
prepared by the Tax Administrator and signed and filed by the Trustee.
[NOTE TO TRUST COUNSEL: IN THE CASE OF MULTIPLE POOLING REMICS OR
SIDE-BY-SIDE REMICS, REVISE AS REMIC STRUCTURE REQUIRES]
By accepting this Security, the Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by all of the
provisions of the Trust Agreement and, in particular, agrees that it shall (i) take any action
required by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder in order to create or maintain the
REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and (ii) refrain from taking any action that could endanger
such status.
Exhibit 4
II-4-72
No transfer of this Security (or any beneficial interest therein) is permitted without the
written consent of the Trustee. As a condition to that consent, any Transferee (including the
initial purchaser) of this Security must provide the Trustee with a properly completed Transfer
Affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Standard Trust Provisions, in which the

Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security unless the transferred interest can be expressed
as a single constant percentage of the Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be null and void and shall not be
recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any Trust REMIC as a result of the transfer of this
Class RR[ ] Security, or any beneficial interest therein, in violation of the restrictions set forth
herein and in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts
that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of this Class RR[ ] Security, or beneficial
interest therein. In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to
seek repayment of such amounts from the Trustee, Ginnie Mae, the Trust, the Tax Administrator,
the Sponsor or the Holders of the other Securities. The Tax Administrator shall make, or cause
to be made, available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the
Code.
The obligations created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust shall terminate upon the
payment to the Holders of the Securities of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Trustee to purchase all assets held by the Trust, at a price determined as
provided in the Trust Agreement, when the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Securities is less than 1% of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances of such
Securities. Any exercise by the Trustee of such option would effect early retirement of the
Securities. In addition, the Trust [REMICs] may be terminated by the Trustee (and the [related]
Securities retired) under certain circumstances in which the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC
is threatened.
Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature this Security shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Trust

surrendering this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The surrendered Security
must be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender, one or
more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Class RP Securities are issuable as Certificated Securities without coupons in the
minimum denomination or Percentage Interest specified in the Trust Agreement. As provided in
the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Class RP Security is
exchangeable for one or more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. The Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Security.
The Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Trustee and any agent of the Tax
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Elections will be made to treat each Asset Pool [relating to the Group [ ] Trust Assets] as
a REMIC (the “[Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC” and the “[Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC,” and
together the “Trust REMICs”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). Assuming that such elections are made properly and that certain
Exhibit 5
II-4-79
qualification requirements concerning the Asset Pools and the Securities are met, the Holder of
this Class RP Security will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the
beneficial owner of a “residual interest” in the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC. Accordingly, the
Holder of this Class RP Security will be taxed on its pro rata share of the [Group [ ]] Pooling
REMIC’s taxable income or net loss. The requirement that the Holder of this Class RP Security
report its pro rata share of such income or loss will continue until there are no [related] Securities
of any Class outstanding.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Tax Administrator, as agent of the Trust REMICs,
will provide the Holder of this Class RP Security with information sufficient to enable such
Holder to prepare (i) its United States federal income tax and information returns and (ii) any
reports required by the Code regarding the Securities, except where such information is provided
to each such Holder by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement. As the Holder of the
residual interest in the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC, the Holder of this Class RP Security will
have continuing administrative rights and obligations with respect to such REMIC generally
similar to those of a partner with respect to its partnership. Such rights and obligations
principally concern the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC’s United States federal income tax and
information returns and the representation of the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC in administrative
or judicial proceedings involving the Internal Revenue Service. The Tax Administrator,
however, will act on behalf of the Holder of this Class RP Security as the representative of the
[Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC for such proceedings. The United States federal income tax and
information returns of the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC will be prepared by the Tax
Administrator and signed and filed by the Trustee.
By accepting this Security, the Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by all of the
provisions of the Trust Agreement and, in particular, agrees that it shall (i) take any action
required by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder in order to create or maintain the
REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and (ii) refrain from taking any action that could endanger
such status.
No transfer of this Security (or any beneficial interest therein) is permitted without the
written consent of the Trustee. As a condition to that consent, any Transferee (including the
initial purchaser) of this Security must provide the Trustee with a properly completed Transfer
Affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Standard Trust Provisions, in which the
proposed Transferee represents and warrants to the Trustee that it (i) is a Permitted Transferee
and (ii) is not a Plan Investor. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of that condition, the Trustee may
withhold its consent to a transfer, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of (i)
disqualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) the imposition of a tax upon any Trust
REMIC. In addition, the Trustee shall not give its consent to the transfer of less than all of a
Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security unless the transferred interest can be expressed
as a single constant percentage of the Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be null and void and shall not be
recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any Trust REMIC as a result of the transfer of this
Class RP Security, or any beneficial interest therein, in violation of the restrictions set forth
herein and in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts
Exhibit 5
II-4-80
that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of this Class RP Security, or beneficial
interest therein. In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to
seek repayment of such amounts from the Trustee, Ginnie Mae, the Trust, the Tax Administrator,
the Sponsor or the Holders of the other Securities. The Tax Administrator shall make, or cause
to be made, available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the
Code.
The obligations created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust shall terminate upon the
payment to the Holders of the Securities of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Trustee to purchase all assets held by the Trust, at a price determined as
provided in the Trust Agreement, when the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Securities is less than 1% of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances of such
Securities. Any exercise by the Trustee of such option would effect early retirement of the
Securities. In addition, the Trust [REMICs] may be terminated by the Trustee (and the [related]
Securities retired) under certain circumstances in which the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC
is threatened.
Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature this Security shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This Security evidences a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Issuing REMIC
Residual Interest of the Trust, the assets of which consist primarily of the Trust Assets.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT
_____________________________________
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Security (either explicitly
specified above or obtained by dividing the denomination of this Security by the aggregate of the
denominations of all Securities of this Class) in any monthly distributions allocable to this Class
of Securities. The Securities were issued by the Trust created pursuant to a trust agreement (the
“Trust Agreement”) between the Sponsor and the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but
solely as Trustee. The capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Trust Agreement and Glossary in the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Guide in effect on
the Closing Date. This Security is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Trust Agreement to which the Holder of this Security, by virtue of its
acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The distribution date is the respective day of each month provided in Section 3.04(i) of
the Standard Trust Provisions for distributions to Holders of the Residual Interest (each, a
“Distribution Date”), commencing in the month following the month of the Closing Date.
Nevertheless, pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, distributions will not be made on
this Security until the Business Day following each Distribution Date. Distributions will be
made to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the related
“Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Security and the distributions, if any, allocable to this Class of Securities pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.
Exhibit 6
II-4-86
This Security is limited in right of payment to certain collections in respect of the [Group
[ ]] Trust Assets and the Ginnie Mae Guaranty, all as more specifically set forth in the Trust
Agreement. This Security does not represent an obligation of the Sponsor or the Trustee or
either of their affiliates.
Distributions on this Security will be made by check mailed to the Holder at its address
reflected in the Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
distribution in retirement of this Security will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
this Security at the Corporate Trust Office.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement may be
amended for any purpose, without the consent of any Holder or Holders of the Securities.
However, the Trust Agreement may not be amended without the consent of the affected Holders
if the effect of such amendment is to alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of
principal or interest (including distributions made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guaranty) to any
Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon
this Security.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
the Holder of this Security may register the transfer of this Security in the Register by
surrendering this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The surrendered Security
must be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender, one or
more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Class RI Securities are issuable as Certificated Securities without coupons in the
minimum denomination or Percentage Interest specified in the Trust Agreement. As provided in
the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Class RI Security is
exchangeable for one or more new Securities of like tenor of authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. The Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Security.
The Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Trustee and any agent of the Tax
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Tax Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Elections will be made to treat each Asset Pool [relating to the Group [ ] Trust Assets] as
a REMIC (the “[Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC” and the “[Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC,” and
together the “Trust REMICs”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). Assuming that such elections are made properly and that certain
Exhibit 6
II-4-87
qualification requirements concerning the Asset Pools and the Securities are met, the Holder of
this Class RI Security will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the
beneficial owner of a “residual interest” in the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC. Accordingly, the
Holder of this Class RI Security will be taxed on its pro rata share of the [Group [ ]] Issuing
REMIC’s taxable income or net loss. The requirement that the Holder of this Class RI Security
report its pro rata share of such income or loss will continue until there are no [related] Securities
of any Class outstanding.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Tax Administrator, as agent of the Trust REMICs,
will provide the Holder of this Class RI Security with information sufficient to enable such
Holder to prepare (i) its United States federal income tax and information returns and (ii) any
reports required by the Code regarding the Securities, except where such information is provided
to each such Holder by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement. As the Holder of the
residual interest in the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC, the Holder of this Class RI Security will
have continuing administrative rights and obligations with respect to such REMIC generally
similar to those of a partner with respect to its partnership. Such rights and obligations
principally concern the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC’s United States federal income tax and
information returns and the representation of the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC in administrative or
judicial proceedings involving the Internal Revenue Service. The Tax Administrator, however,
will act on behalf of the Holder of this Class RI Security as the representative of the [Group [ ]]
Issuing REMIC for such proceedings. The United States federal income tax and information
returns of the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC will be prepared by the Tax Administrator and signed
and filed by the Trustee.
By accepting this Security, the Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by all of the
provisions of the Trust Agreement and, in particular, agrees that it shall (i) take any action
required by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder in order to create or maintain the
REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and (ii) refrain from taking any action that could endanger
such status.
No transfer of this Security (or any beneficial interest therein) is permitted without the
written consent of the Trustee. As a condition to that consent, any Transferee (including the
initial purchaser) of this Security must provide the Trustee with a properly completed Transfer
Affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Standard Trust Provisions, in which the
proposed Transferee represents and warrants to the Trustee that it (i) is a Permitted Transferee
and (ii) is not a Plan Investor. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of that condition, the Trustee may
withhold its consent to a transfer, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of (i)
disqualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) the imposition of a tax upon any Trust
REMIC. In addition, the Trustee shall not give its consent to the transfer of less than all of a
Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security unless the transferred interest can be expressed
as a single constant percentage of the Transferor’s Ownership Interest in this Security. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be null and void and shall not be
recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any Trust REMIC as a result of the transfer of this
Class RI Security, or any beneficial interest therein, in violation of the restrictions set forth
herein and in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts
Exhibit 6
II-4-88
that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of this Class RI Security, or beneficial
interest therein. In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to
seek repayment of such amounts from the Trustee, Ginnie Mae, the Trust, the Tax Administrator,
the Sponsor or the Holders of the other Securities. The Tax Administrator shall make, or cause
to be made, available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the
Code.
The obligations created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust shall terminate upon the
payment to the Holders of the Securities of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Trustee to purchase all assets held by the Trust, at a price determined as
provided in the Trust Agreement, when the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Securities is less than 1% of the aggregate of the Original Class Principal Balances of such
Securities. Any exercise by the Trustee of such option would effect early retirement of the
Securities. In addition, the Trust [REMICs] may be terminated by the Trustee (and the [related]
Securities retired) under certain circumstances in which the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC
is threatened.
Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature this Security shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST
Section 2.01 Establishment of Trust.
As of the Closing Date, the Sponsor will establish the Trust by depositing the Underlying
REMIC Certificates identified in the related Trust Agreement with the Trust, and the Trust will
issue the Securities, representing the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust, to the
Sponsor in consideration of the Underlying REMIC Certificates.
Section 2.02 Conveyance of Underlying REMIC Certificates.
The deposit of Underlying REMIC Certificates by a Sponsor to a Trust pursuant to the
related Trust Agreement shall occur upon the Closing Date for such Series and shall constitute a
sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance by the Sponsor to the Trust of all right, title and
interest in such Underlying REMIC Certificates as of the first day of the month of the Closing
Date, notwithstanding any provision of federal or state law to the contrary.
Section 2.03 Registration of Underlying REMIC Certificates.
Each Underlying REMIC Certificate will be issued in uncertificated form under the
related REMIC Trust Agreement in the name of the Trustee hereunder. The books and records
of the Trustee will reflect that it holds the Underlying REMIC Certificates as Trustee of the
related Trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that Trust.
Section 2.04 Delivery of Securities.
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Sponsor the Securities (other than any Modifiable Securities that are the subject of
an exchange and any MX Securities that are not the subject of an exchange immediately
following their issuance).

Prior to the execution of the Trust Agreement and the establishment of the Trust, the
Trustee’s board of directors, its duly appointed loan committee, duly appointed trust committee
or duly authorized officers, as the case may be, shall approve the Trust Agreement in accordance
with the Trustee’s organizational documents and any applicable state or federal regulation,
including, to the extent applicable, and without limitation 12 C.F.R. §§ 9.7 and 550.5, each as
amended from time to time, and such approval shall be reflected in the minutes of the Trustee’s
board or committee, as applicable. The Trustee shall maintain the Trust Agreement as an official
record of the Trustee from the time the Trust Agreement is executed.
7
II-6-7
Section 2.06 Separate Grantor Trusts.
The arrangement pursuant to which each Trust is created pursuant to the related Trust
Agreement, and pursuant to which the related Underlying REMIC Certificates will be
administered, shall be treated as a separate grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of
the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the provisions of
the related Trust Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such treatment.
ARTICLE III.
THE SECURITIES
Section 3.01 Forms of the Securities.
(a)
Forms and Denominations of Securities. The Classes of Securities shall
be maintained, transferred and exchanged as Securities on the book-entry records of the BookEntry Depository in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof, except that a Security of any Class designated as an Increased Minimum Denomination
Class in the Trust Agreement shall, in the case of any Modifiable Security, be issued in the
minimum denominations specified in the related Offering Circular for the Related REMIC Class
with the corresponding Class designation or, in the case of MX Securities, shall be issued in such
minimum denominations specified in the related Offering Circular. No person acquiring a
beneficial ownership interest in the Securities (a “beneficial owner”) shall be entitled to receive a
physical certificate representing such ownership interest.
(b)
Method of Distribution. Distributions on the Securities shall be made by
the Trustee on each Distribution Date to each Holder as of the related Record Date.
Distributions on the Securities shall be made through the facilities of the Book-Entry Depository
pursuant to instructions provided by the Trustee. In the event of a principal or interest payment
error, the Trustee shall, pursuant to Ginnie Mae’s instructions, effect corrections by the
adjustment of payments to be made on future Distribution Dates.
(c)
Authorization, Issuance and Delivery of Securities. The manual execution
of the MX Trust Agreement by an authorized officer of each of the Trustee and the Sponsor shall
be conclusive evidence that the Securities have been duly and validly authorized and validly
issued by the Trustee and are entitled to the benefits of the MX Trust Agreement.
Delivery of the Securities occurs when the Registrar registers the transferee as the
registered owner of such Securities. The Securities to be issued at closing shall be identified on
an Issuance Statement attached as Exhibit 1 to the Trust Agreement prepared by the Sponsor and
delivered to the Trustee. On the Closing Date, the Registrar shall register the Book-Entry
Depository as the registered owner of the Securities. Upon execution and delivery of the
Guaranty Agreement with respect to each Trust, Ginnie Mae authorizes the issuance of the
Securities, entitled to the benefits of the following Ginnie Mae Guaranty:
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION, PURSUANT TO
SECTION 306(g) OF THE NATIONAL HOUSING ACT, GUARANTEES THE TIMELY
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THIS SECURITY IN ACCORDANCE
8
II-6-8
WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE RELATED
TRUST AGREEMENT. THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF ALL AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE
REQUIRED TO BE PAID UNDER THIS GUARANTY.
Section 3.02 Registration of Securities.
The Trustee shall keep one or more offices or agencies at which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee or another Person designated by the
Trustee and approved by Ginnie Mae shall be the registrar and shall maintain a register and
provide for the registration of Securities as herein provided.
Section 3.03 [Reserved].
Section 3.04 Exchanges.
Modifiable Securities shall be exchangeable on the books of the Book-Entry Depository
for MX Securities, and MX Securities shall be exchangeable on the books of the Book-Entry
Depository for Modifiable Securities, on and after the Closing Date under the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth and otherwise in accordance with the procedures specified in the
related Offering Circular.
In the case of each Securities Group, Securities of the Class or Classes of Modifiable
Securities in such Securities Group shall be exchangeable for Securities of the MX Securities in
such Securities Group in the respective denominations determined pursuant to the applicable
Exchange Ratios. Upon any such exchange, the portion or portions of the Modifiable Securities
designated for exchange shall be deemed cancelled and replaced by the MX Security or
Securities issued in exchange therefor. Correspondingly, MX Securities included in a Securities
Group may be exchangeable for Securities of the Modifiable Classes included in the same
Securities Group in the respective denominations determined pursuant to the applicable
Exchange Ratios. In addition to the exchanges set forth above, in the case of any Ratio Strip
Combination, Securities of each MX Class in such Ratio Strip Combination shall be
exchangeable for Securities of the other MX Classes included in such Ratio Strip Combination in
the respective denominations determined pursuant to the applicable Exchange Ratios. Upon any
such exchange, the portion or portions of Securities designated for exchange shall be deemed
cancelled and replaced by the Security or Securities issued in exchange therefor. There shall be
no limitation (other than with respect to Increased Minimum Denomination Classes) on any
exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 3.04, and, except as provided in the following
paragraph, no fee or other charge shall be payable in connection therewith.
As a condition to each exchange, a fee shall be payable to the Trustee equal to 1/32 of 1%
of the outstanding principal balance (or notional balance, to the extent provided in the following
proviso) of the Securities to be submitted for exchange (but not less than $2,000 or greater than
$25,000); provided, however, that no such fee shall be payable in respect of a mandatory
exchange described below and provided further that no fee shall be payable in respect of an
interest only security, unless all Securities involved in an exchange are interest only securities. If
9
II-6-9
the notional balance of the Securities surrendered exceeds that of the Securities received, the fee
will be based on the latter.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Offering Circular or Trust Agreement, any
beneficial owner proposing to effect an exchange as contemplated by this Section 3.04 shall
notify the Trustee (through the facilities of the Book-Entry Depository) no later than two
Business Days before the proposed date of exchange; provided however, that no such exchange
can occur on the last business day of any month. Any such notice as provided hereunder shall
become irrevocable by the beneficial owner on the second Business Day preceding the proposed
date of exchange, provided that the exchange fee has been paid. The contents of any notice of
exchange shall be specified in the related Offering Circular.
In connection with any exchange of Securities, the Trustee shall verify that such
exchange has been effected in the appropriate proportions. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Book-Entry Depository (or its participant, as applicable) in the event of error. The initial
distribution in respect of a Security delivered for exchange shall occur on the Distribution Date
in the month following the month of exchange.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, a Sponsor may, with Ginnie Mae’s
prior consent, effect an exchange of Modifiable Securities immediately following their issuance
on the related Closing Date (which may coincide with the last day of the month) and take
delivery of MX Securities rather than such Modifiable Securities. No fee shall be payable for
any such exchanges.
In the event that the Interest Rate on any MX Class that is a Weighted Average Coupon
Class equals or exceeds 1200% of its then outstanding Class Principal Balance for any Accrual
Period, the Trustee will, prior to the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar
month immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, effect a mandatory exchange of such
Class for its related REMIC Securities. Thereafter, no further exchanges of such REMIC
Securities will be permitted.
In the event that a related REMIC Security for any MX Class is entitled to receive
Prepayment Penalties after the Class Principal Balance of such MX Class is reduced to zero, the
Trustee will, prior to the related Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Balance of such
MX Class is reduced to zero, effect a mandatory exchange of such Class for its related REMIC
Securities. Thereafter, no further exchanges of such REMIC Securities will be permitted.

II-6-10
ARTICLE IV.
DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE SECURITIES
Section 4.01 Establishment of Accounts.
(a)
Book-Entry Depository Account. The Trustee shall maintain a BookEntry Depository Account with the Book-Entry Depository. With respect to each Trust, the
Trustee shall account for all funds in, all deposits to and all withdrawals from the Book-Entry
Depository Account separately and on a Trust-by-Trust basis, clearly identifying the Segregated
Portion thereof.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
Variance Account. With respect to each Trust, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain a separate Variance Account, which will be an Eligible Account. Amounts will be
credited to the Variance Account and withdrawals will be made from the Variance Account as
specified herein. The Variance Account shall not be an asset of the Trust, the owner of which
solely for United States federal income tax purposes (and not for any other purpose) will be
Ginnie Mae. The depository records of the Trustee, or, as the case may be, the depository
institution or trust company at which the Variance Account is to be established, shall reflect in
respect of the Variance Account (i) that the Trustee, as depositor, is acting in its capacity as
trustee on behalf of the Holders of Securities in respect of the Trust, (ii) the names and respective
interests of such Holders, and (iii) that such Holders may be acting in a fiduciary capacity for
others. If the amounts on deposit in the Variance Account exceed $100, the Trustee shall invest
such amounts held in the Variance Account in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by
Ginnie Mae; any investment earnings shall be for the account of and distributable to Ginnie Mae
unless otherwise allocated to make up for shortfalls as provided in Section 4.04((b) hereof. If no
investment direction is provided to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall hold such funds
uninvested.
(d)
Board Approval. Prior to the establishment of any Trust Account, the
Trustee’s board of directors, or a duly appointed loan committee, duly appointed trust committee
or duly authorized officers, as the case may be, of the Trustee, or, as the case may be, the
Trustee’s board of directors, a duly appointed loan committee, duly appointed trust committee or
duly authorized officers of the depository institution or trust company at which such Trust
Account is to be established, shall approve the establishment of such Trust Account and the Trust
Agreement in accordance with the organizational documents of such institution and any
applicable state or federal regulation, including, to the extent applicable, and without limitation
12 C.F.R. §§ 9.7 and 550.5, each as amended from time to time, and such approval shall be
reflected in the minutes of such board or committee, as applicable. The Trustee, or, as the case
may be, the depository institution or trust company at which any Trust Account is to be
established, shall maintain the Trust Agreement as an official record from the time of its
execution.
(e)
Segregated Portions. With respect to each Trust, the Book-Entry
Depository Account shall include, and where applicable a reference to such account herein or in
11
II-6-11
the related Trust Agreement shall be understood to be a reference to, a Segregated Portion of
such account corresponding to such Trust.
Section 4.02 Class Factors.
The Trustee shall determine the Class Factors and Interest Rate, and calculate the Class
Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date. In addition, the Trustee shall report the Interest
Rate and the Class Factor for each Class (and other information as requested by Ginnie Mae
from time to time) to the Information Agent no later than 6:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second
Business Day preceding the Distribution Date (or the third preceding Business Day, in the case
of Securities evidencing an interest in Underlying REMIC Certificates that are backed by Ginnie
Mae II Certificates).
Section 4.03 Payments on the Underlying REMIC Certificates.
All amounts in respect of distributions on the Underlying REMIC Certificates shall be
wire transferred to the Book-Entry Depository Account by the Trustee no later than 9:00 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time on the Distribution Date.
Section 4.04 Distributions on the Securities.
(a)
Distribution Date Statement. No later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time on the first Business Day following each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall provide to the
Information Agent, a Distribution Date Statement in such form as is approved by the Trustee and
Ginnie Mae. Each Distribution Date Statement will specify amounts distributed on such
Distribution Date as principal and interest on each Class of Securities of a Series.
(b)
Distribution Shortfall.
(i)
No later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Distribution
Date, the Book-Entry Depository shall determine the amount, if any, by
which (A) the amounts distributable as principal and interest on the
Securities on such Distribution Date, exceed (B) the amounts received on
the Underlying REMIC Certificates on the related Underlying REMIC
Certificate Payment Date (the “Distribution Shortfall Amount”). The
Book-Entry Depository immediately shall notify Ginnie Mae of the
amount of such deficiency, and the account or accounts to which Ginnie
Mae should transfer such amounts.
(ii)
In the event that there are sufficient amounts in the Variance
Account to cover the Depository Shortfall Amount, the Trustee shall
withdraw the Depository Shortfall Amount from the Variance Account
and wire transfer such amount to the Book-Entry Depository Account no
later than 10:01 a.m., and shall immediately inform Ginnie Mae of any
such transfer.
(c)
[Reserved].
12
II-6-12
(d)
Distributions. On each Distribution Date the Trustee (and/or the BookEntry Depository on behalf of and pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee) shall make such
distributions on the Securities issued in respect of any Trust as shall be provided in the related
Trust Agreement. The Trustee hereby directs the Book-Entry Depository to withdraw from the
Book-Entry Depository Account on each Distribution Date amounts distributable as principal
and interest on the Securities as instructed by the Trustee. On each Distribution Date, the BookEntry Depository will credit the accounts of its record owner of such Securities in accordance
with the standard procedures of the Book-Entry Depository.
(e)
Allocations of Distributions. The Holders of any Class entitled to receive
distributions on any Distribution Date shall receive such distributions on a pro rata basis among
the Outstanding Securities of such Class based on the principal balance, notional balance or
percentage interest of such Securities. All distributions of principal on the Securities issued in
respect of a particular Trust shall be made as provided in the related Trust Agreement.
(f)
Ginnie Mae Guaranty. With respect to each Series, pursuant to the
Guaranty Agreement, Ginnie Mae, in exchange for the Ginnie Mae Guaranty Fee, has guaranteed
to each Holder of a Security the timely payment of principal and interest on such Security in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Agreement
(g)
Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payments. If the Book-Entry Depository and/or the
Trustee discovers that payments on the Underlying REMIC Certificates underlying a Series
together with any available funds (including any such funds in the Variance Account) will be
inadequate to distribute principal and interest to the Securities of such Series on any Distribution
Date in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Book-Entry Depository and/or the
Trustee, as the case may be, promptly shall inform Ginnie Mae that a Ginnie Mae Guaranty
Payment must be made. In that event, Ginnie Mae (or its agent) will transfer the amount of the
shortfall to the Book-Entry Depository Account in immediately available funds. At Ginnie
Mae’s option, Ginnie Mae may instruct the Person designated by the Trustee and acceptable to
Ginnie Mae as the Person to hold funds on behalf of the Trustee (which Person initially shall be
The Bank of New York) to transfer such amount. In addition, if on the Final Distribution Date of
any Class, the funds available to be distributed on such Class are insufficient to reduce the Class
Principal Balance of such Class to zero, Ginnie Mae shall make a Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment
in the amount of such insufficiency. In the event that Ginnie Mae makes any Ginnie Mae
Guaranty Payment to reduce the Class Principal Balance of any Class to zero on its Final

subsequent distributions on such Class. For the avoidance of doubt, the powers of the Trustee
under the Trust Agreement include the right to take all necessary and appropriate actions to
enforce the Ginnie Mae Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent that Ginnie
Mae fails to make any required payment pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guaranty.

Trustee of each Trust has appointed The Bank of New York to be the Information Agent. Ginnie
Mae has reserved the right to substitute at any time another Person as the Information Agent.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year (but in no event
later than sixty days after the end of such calendar year), the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to Ginnie Mae and to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was the

trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor under the Trust Agreement, with the same effect as if originally named as trustee
therein. The predecessor trustee shall immediately deliver to the successor trustee all documents
and statements held by it under the applicable Trust Agreement, and the predecessor trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations. The predecessor trustee shall perform the duties and obligations imposed

requirements to act as a Trustee hereunder or otherwise has been approved in writing by Ginnie
Mae to act as co-trustee with respect to the Trust. Any such co-trustee may perform any of the
duties and obligations of the Trustee hereunder, provided, however, that any such appointment of
any co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of any of its obligations and duties hereunder. The
Trustee shall continue to remain liable for the performance of all such duties and obligations
hereunder (including the obligation to indemnify Ginnie Mae pursuant to Section 6.11, 6.12),
irrespective of the appointment of any co-trustee to perform such duties or obligations on behalf
of the Trustee.

with interest thereon at a rate equal to the yield on three-month U.S. Treasury securities.

shall vote in a manner consistent, in the sole judgment of the Trustee, with the best interests of

Security shall not operate to terminate any Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives
or heirs of such person or any Holder for such person to claim an accounting, take any action or
bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of any Trust, nor otherwise affect
the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
Section 8.02 Control by Holders.
Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, no Holder in any Series shall have
any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and
22
II-6-22
management of any Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set
forth, or contained in the terms of the Securities, be construed so as to constitute the Holders
from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall a Holder be under any
liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to the Trust Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
Section 8.03 Amendment of Trust Agreements.
(a)
Any Trust Agreement may, with the consent of Ginnie Mae, and shall, at
the request of Ginnie Mae, be amended from time to time by the Trustee without the consent of
the Sponsor or any Holder or Holders (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to the Trust Agreement, provided that any such amendment shall not
effect a change in the Distribution Dates, Record Dates, the Ginnie Mae Guaranty or other
payment terms established by the Trust Agreement for the Series which adversely affects in any
material respect the interests of any Holder and shall not impose an additional obligation on any
party who has not consented to such amendment; or (ii) except as provided in Section 8.03(b)
below, to make any other changes that Ginnie Mae requests.
(b)
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the consent of each
Holder who may be adversely affected, the related Trust Agreement may not be amended to
impair or affect the right of such Holder to receive payment of principal and interest (including
any payment under the Ginnie Mae Guaranty in respect thereof) or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, all as herein provided, on or after the respective due date of
such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not allow any amendment to the
related Trust Agreement that would cause the Trust not to be treated as a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes.
(c)
In connection with any amendment to a Trust Agreement made pursuant
to this Section 8.03, the Sponsor shall deliver to Ginnie Mae and the Trustee (i) an Opinion of
Counsel (who, if the amendment is at the request of the Sponsor, may be Trust Counsel),
addressed to Ginnie Mae and the Trustee, to the effect that (A) such counsel has examined the
amendment and the relevant portion of the related Trust Agreement, (B) the amendment is
permitted by the related Trust Agreement, and (C) the proposed amendment will not cause any
related Trust not to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes,
and (ii) with respect to any amendment other than an amendment being entered into
contemporaneously on a program-wide basis, indemnification of Ginnie Mae and the Trustee in a
form reasonably acceptable to Ginnie Mae in consultation with the Trustee.
Section 8.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the registrar, or any agent of the Trustee, Ginnie Mae or the
registrar, may deem and treat the Holder of the Securities (which, with respect to the Securities,
will be the Book-Entry Depository (or its nominee)), as the absolute owner of such Securities for
the purpose of receiving distributions of principal or interest and for all other purposes, and
neither the Trustee, Ginnie Mae nor the registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, Ginnie Mae or the
registrar, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such distributions so made to the
23
II-6-23
Holder or upon such Holder’s order shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so
distributed, effectual to satisfy and discharge the duty for monies distributable by the Trustee
upon such Securities.
The Holder of a Book-Entry Security is not the beneficial owner of such Security. The
rights of a beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Security with respect to the Trustee, Ginnie Mae
and the registrar may be exercised only through the Holder, which is the Book-Entry Depository
or its nominee. The Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the registrar will have no obligation to a beneficial
owner of a Book-Entry Security because such obligations are satisfied directly to the Book-Entry
Depository.
Section 8.05 Third-Party Beneficiary; Ginnie Mae Subrogation.
The Trustee and the Sponsor hereby acknowledge and agree that Ginnie Mae is a thirdparty beneficiary of each Trust Agreement and entitled to enforce all obligations of any party to a

and privileges of the Holders in respect of any Ginnie Mae Guaranty payments, to the extent of
such payments.
Section 8.06 Preemption.
Pursuant to Section 306(g)(3)(E)(iv) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1721(g)(3)(E)(iv)), Ginnie Mae may exercise any right or power granted to it in or recognized
under the Trust Agreement irrespective of any stay arising from, any injunction or other process
issued pursuant to, and any restriction or limitation imposed by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, conservatorship or other similar law or regulation, state or federal, now or hereafter
in effect, including without limitation 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 362 and 18 U.S.C. §§ 1821, 1823, each
as amended from time to time.
Section 8.07 Governing Law.
THE TRUST AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. INSOFAR
AS THERE MAY BE NO APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES, THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO CONFLICT OF
LAWS PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) SHALL BE DEEMED REFLECTIVE OF THE LAWS OF

State of] New York and the United States of America.
I.
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing and such other documents and information as
we have considered necessary for the purposes hereof, we are of the opinion that:
[1.
The Sponsor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.
II-9-4
2.
The Sponsor has the corporate power and authority to enter into the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements.
3.
The Sponsor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction that requires such qualification wherein it owns
or leases material properties, except where the failure so to qualify would not have a material
adverse effect on such company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreements.
4.
To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or
threatened against the Sponsor that reasonably could be expected to affect adversely (a) the
Sponsor’s ability to carry on its business substantially as now conducted; (b) the transfer of the
Trust Assets; (c) the issuance of the Securities or (d) the execution, delivery, performance or
enforceability of the Agreements, including the Sponsor’s performance under any
indemnification provisions.
5.
To our knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization or order of (a) any
[INSERT BOTH PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS STATE AND, IF DIFFERENT,
STATE OF ORGANIZATION OF SPONSOR] state or federal court or (b) any [INSERT
BOTH PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS STATE AND, IF DIFFERENT, STATE OF
ORGANIZATION OF SPONSOR] state or federal governmental agency or body is required
for the consummation by the Sponsor of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements,
except for those that have been obtained by the Sponsor and are in full force and effect;
provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to requirements under federal or state
securities or blue sky laws, of any jurisdiction in connection with the distribution of the
Securities.]
{1.
The Sponsor’s Opinion[s] [is] [are] satisfactory in form and scope to us, and we
believe that you may properly rely on [it] [them].}
Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Trust
{2}
[6.]
Agreement[s] by the [Trustee] {parties thereto}, the provisions of the Trust Agreement[s] are
sufficient to establish [a] trust[s] under and pursuant to the governing laws of the Trust
Agreement[s].
{3}
[7.]
[Each of the Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by an authorized
signatory of the Sponsor, and] {Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
Agreements by the parties thereto,} each constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the
Sponsor, enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with its respective terms.
{4}
[8.]
The Securities conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof
contained in the Offering Circular. The Securities that are Book-Entry Securities [or
Uncertificated Securities] have been duly and validly authorized and delivered by the Trustee in
accordance with the [related] Trust Agreement and are duly and validly issued and entitled to the
benefits of such Trust Agreement. Assuming the due authorization of the officer of the Trustee
who executed the [Certificated Securities] [Residual Securit[y][ies]] on behalf of the [REMIC]
Trust, such Securit[y][ies] [has] [have] been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered
by such Trust in accordance with the [REMIC] Trust Agreement and will, when authenticated as
II-9-5
specified in the [REMIC] Trust Agreement, be duly and validly issued and entitled to the
benefits [of [the] [such] Trust Agreement].
{5}
[9.]
The Securities are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder, and the Securities constitute “exempted securities”
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder.
{6}
[10.] The Trust Agreement[s] [is] [are] not required to be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the trust fund[s] created thereby [is] [are] not required to
be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
{7}
[11.] No consent, approval, authorization or order of (a) any New York State or federal
court or (b) any New York State or federal governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation by the Trust[s] of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements; provided,
however, that we express no opinion with respect to requirements under local and state securities
laws, including but not limited to such as may be required under the state securities or blue sky
laws, of any jurisdiction in connection with the distribution of the Securities.
{8}
[12.] The statements set forth under the headings “Terms Sheet” and “Description of
the Securities” in the Offering Circular Supplement, and under the headings “Description of the
Securities” and “The Trusts” in the Base Offering Circular, insofar as such statements together
purport to summarize certain provisions of the Agreements, provide a fair summary of such
provisions.
{9}
[13.] The statements in the Offering Circular Supplement under the headings “ERISA
Matters” and “Legal Investment Considerations,” and in the Base Offering Circular under the
headings “ERISA Considerations” and “Legal Investment Considerations,” insofar as they
describe federal statutes and regulations or constitute legal conclusions with respect thereto, have
been prepared or reviewed by us, and such statements provide a fair summary of such statutes
and regulations.
{10} [14.] The Regular [and MX] Securities qualify as “guaranteed governmental mortgage
pool certificates” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(i)(2).
II.
We have participated in various conferences with [officers and directors of] [appropriate
representatives of] the Sponsor, representatives of Ginnie Mae, representatives of [Hunton
Andrews Kurth LLP] [and Harrell & Chambliss LLP], counsel to Ginnie Mae, and [appropriate
representatives of] the Accountants. At those conferences, the contents of the Offering Circular
were discussed and revised. [Since the dates of those conferences, we have inquired of
appropriate representatives whether there has been any material change in the affairs of the
Sponsor.]
Because of the inherent limitations in the independent verification of factual matters, we
are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, and make no representation that
II-9-6
we have independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Offering Circular, except as specifically set forth in paragraphs [12 and 13]
{8 and 9} of Part I of our opinion above. Also, we do not express any opinion or belief as to the
financial statements or other numerical, financial or statistical information contained in the
Offering Circular. However, subject to the foregoing, we advise you that nothing has come to
our attention that would lead us to believe that the Offering Circular, as of the date thereof and at
the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that we express no
opinion with respect to the numerical, financial and statistical data contained in the Offering
Circular).
We express no opinion as to any matter other than as expressly set forth herein, and no
other opinion is to be, or may be, inferred or implied herefrom. This opinion is given as of the
date hereof and is based on facts and conditions presently known to us and laws and regulations
currently in effect, and we do not undertake, and hereby disclaim, any obligation to advise you of
any change in any matters set forth herein.
This opinion letter is being furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be relied
upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without our prior written consent.
Very truly yours,

Certain Tax Matters
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as trust counsel in connection with the formation of the Ginnie Mae
REMIC Trust 20__-__ (the “Trust”), established pursuant to a trust agreement (the “Trust
Agreement”), dated as of ____________ __, 20__, by and between ___________________, as
trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), and __________________, [a][an] ________________
[corporation] [limited liability company] [limited partnership] (the “Sponsor”), and incorporating
by reference the Standard Trust Provisions for REMIC Trusts, ____ 1, 20__ Edition[, as
amended through __________, 20__] (the “Standard Trust Provisions”), and the issuance of
approximately $_____________ aggregate [principal] [notional] amount of Guaranteed
[Multifamily] [HECM MBS] REMIC Pass-Through Securities (the “Securities”). The Securities
consist of the Class R Securities (the “Residual Securities”) and [each] [the] other Class of
Securities (the “Regular Securities”) listed on the front cover of the Offering Circular
Supplement dated _____________ __, 20__[, as supplemented by any Supplemental Statement
thereto] (the “Offering Circular Supplement”). The Securities are being offered pursuant to the
[Multifamily] Base Offering Circular, dated ____ 1, 20__, and the Offering Circular Supplement
(together, the “Offering Circular”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the glossary contained in the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities
Guide currently in effect or in the Trust Agreement.
II-11-1
The assets of the Trust consist primarily of certain [HECM MBS] [Trust MBS] [Ginnie
Mae Multifamily Certificates][,] [and] [[an] Underlying Callable Securit[y][ies]][,] [and] [[an]
Underlying Certificate[s]] [and [an] Underlying SMBS Securit[y][ies]] acquired from the
Sponsor and certain accounts. Section 1.03 of the Standard Trust Provisions[, as modified by the
Trust Agreement] identifies [a pool] [two pools] of such assets (the “Asset Pool[s]”) as the assets
that will comprise [each of] the Trust REMIC[s]. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an election
will be made to treat [the] [each] Asset Pool as [a] [separate] real estate mortgage investment
conduit[s] (“REMIC[s]”) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).
We have reviewed the originals or copies of: (i) the Trust Agreement, including the
Standard Trust Provisions; (ii) the Sponsor Agreement dated as of ____________
______ __, 20__, by
and between the Sponsor and Ginnie Mae, including the Standard Sponsor Provisions, ____ 1,

Circular, and referred to herein [collectively,] as the "Underlying Securit[y][ies] Disclosure
Documents")]. We also have reviewed such other documents relating to the transaction and
made such other factual and legal inquiries as we have considered necessary for purposes of the
opinions given below. [We have assumed the accuracy and completeness in all material respects
of the Underlying Securit[y][ies] Disclosure Documents [and that [the] [each] Underlying
Certificate will, at all relevant times, constitute either a “regular interest” in a REMIC or a
grantor trust interest in respect of one or more “regular interests” in a REMIC].]
[In rendering our opinions, we have also relied, without independent verification, on a
letter from the Sponsor, dated __________ __, 20__, representing the belief of the Sponsor that
there are various economically reasonable circumstances under which the holders of [the] [each]
Call Class of Ginnie Mae Callable Trust 20__-C_ would not at any time exercise their rights to
direct the redemption of the Callable Class of Ginnie Mae Callable Trust 20__-C_.]
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, with respect to this transaction, the
statements and legal conclusions contained in the Offering Circular under the caption “Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences,” insofar as they constitute matters of United
States federal law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects
and the discussion thereunder does not omit any material provision with respect to the matters
covered. Also based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of
the further opinion that, if the Trustee, the Sponsor, Ginnie Mae, and the other parties to the
documents referenced in the foregoing paragraph comply (without waiver) with all of the
provisions of such documents and an election properly is made and filed for the Asset Pool to be
treated as a REMIC pursuant to section 860D of the Code: (i) [the Asset Pool will qualify as a
REMIC] [each of the Asset Pools will qualify as a separate REMIC], (ii) the Regular Securities
will constitute the “regular interests” in [that] [the related Trust] REMIC[s] on the date of
issuance thereof and thereafter, and (iii) the Residual Securities will constitute the “residual
interest” in [that REMIC] [each of the Trust REMICs] on the date of issuance thereof and
thereafter, in each case assuming continuing compliance with the REMIC provisions of the Code
and any regulations thereunder.
II-11-2
You should be aware that the above opinions and the discussion contained in the Offering
Circular under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” represent
conclusions as to the application of existing law to the transaction described herein. There can
be no assurance that existing law will not change or that contrary positions will not be taken by
the Internal Revenue Service.
No opinion has been sought and none has been given concerning the tax consequences of
the transaction described herein or of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Securities
under the laws of any state or locality.
The opinions expressed herein are solely for the information and use of the addressees

assets with respect to each of Security Group [ ] (the “Group [ ] REMIC Assets”) and Security
Group [ ] (the “Group [ ] REMIC Assets”) as the assets that will comprise a Trust REMIC (the
“Group [ ] REMIC” and the “Group [ ] REMIC,” respectively)]. Pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, elections will be made to treat [each group of] the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC
Assets[,] [and] the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC Assets[, the Group [ ] REMIC Assets and the
Group [ ] REMIC Assets] as separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”)
under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
We have reviewed the originals or copies of: (i) the Trust Agreement, including the
Standard Trust Provisions; (ii) the Sponsor Agreement dated as of ____________
_________ __, 20_, by
and between the Sponsor and Ginnie Mae, including the Standard Sponsor Provisions, ____ 1,
20__ Edition[, as amended through __________, 20_]; (iii) the Guaranty Agreement dated as of
_______________ __, 20__; [and] (iv) the Offering Circular[; and (v) the disclosure documents
relating
to
the
[Underlying
Certificate[s]][,][and][the
Underlying
Callable
Securit[y][ies]][and][the Underlying SMBS Securit[y][ies]] ([each] as defined in the Offering
Circular, and referred to herein [collectively,] as the "Underlying Securit[y][ies] Disclosure
Documents")]. We also have reviewed such other documents relating to the transaction and
made such other factual and legal inquiries as we have considered necessary for purposes of the
opinions given below. [We have assumed the accuracy and completeness in all material respects
of the Underlying Securit[y][ies] Disclosure Documents [and that [the] [each] Underlying
Certificate will, at all relevant times, constitute either a “regular interest” in a REMIC or a
grantor trust interest in respect of one or more “regular interests” in a REMIC].]
[In rendering our opinions, we have also relied, without independent verification, on a
letter from the Sponsor, dated __________ __, 20_, representing the belief of the Sponsor that
there are various economically reasonable circumstances under which the holders of [the] [each]
Call Class of Ginnie Mae Callable Trust 20_-C_ would not at any time exercise their rights to
direct the redemption of the Callable Class of Ginnie Mae Callable Trust 20_-C_.]
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, with respect to this transaction, the
statements and legal conclusions contained in the Offering Circular under the caption “Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences,” insofar as they constitute matters of United
States federal law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects
and the discussion thereunder does not omit any material provision with respect to the matters
covered. Also based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of
the further opinion that, if the Trustee, the Sponsor, Ginnie Mae, and the other parties to the
documents referenced in the foregoing paragraph comply (without waiver) with all of the
provisions of such documents and elections properly are made and filed for [each of] the[Group [
]] Pooling REMIC Assets [,] [and] the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC Assets [, the Group [ ]
REMIC Assets and the Group [ ] REMIC Assets] to be treated as separate REMICs pursuant to
II-13-2
section 860D of the Code: (i) [each of] the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC Assets [,] [and] the
[Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC Assets [, the Group [ ] REMIC Assets and the Group [ ] REMIC
Assets] will each qualify as a separate REMIC, (ii) the Regular Securities [in Security Group[s] [
]] will constitute the “regular interests,” and the Class RI Security will constitute the “residual
interest,” in the [Group [ ]] Issuing REMIC on the date of issuance thereof and thereafter, [(iii)
the Regular Securities in Security Group [ ] and Security Group [ ] will constitute the “regular
interests” in the Group [ ] REMIC or the Group [ ] REMIC, as applicable, on the date of
issuance thereof and thereafter,] [ and (iii)] [(iv)] the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC Subaccount[s]
will represent the “regular interests,” and the Class RP Security will constitute the “residual
interest,” in [each of] the [Group [ ]] Pooling REMIC[s] on the date of the creation or issuance
thereof and thereafter [,] [and] [(v) the Class R[ ] Securities will constitute the “residual interest”
in the Group [ ] REMIC on the date of issuance thereof and thereafter,] [and (vi) the Class R[ ]
Securities will constitute the “residual interest” in the Group [ ] REMIC on the date of issuance
thereof and thereafter,], in each case assuming continuing compliance with the REMIC
provisions of the Code and any regulations thereunder.
You should be aware that the above opinions and the discussion contained in the Offering
Circular under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” represent
conclusions as to the application of existing law to the transaction described herein. There can
be no assurance that existing law will not change or that contrary positions will not be taken by

Ginnie Mae Guaranteed [Multifamily] [HECM MBS] REMIC Pass-Through Securities [and MX
Securities];Ginnie Mae REMIC Trust 20 -__[and Ginnie Mae MX Trust 20- ]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to ________________________ in its capacity as
trustee (the “Trustee”) in connection with the issuance by the Ginnie Mae REMIC Trust 20_-_
(the “[REMIC] Trust”), established pursuant to a trust agreement (the “[REMIC] Trust
Agreement”), dated as of ____________ __, 20_, by and between the Trustee and
_____________________, [a][an] ________________ [corporation] [limited liability company]
[limited partnership] (the “Sponsor”), and incorporating by reference the Standard Trust
Provisions for REMIC Trusts, ____ 1, 20__ Edition[, as amended through __________, 20_]
(the “[REMIC] Standard Trust Provisions”) [and the Ginnie Mae MX Trust 20_-_ (the “Grantor
Trust” and, together with the REMIC Trust, the “Trusts”) established pursuant to a trust
agreement (the “MX Trust Agreement” and, together with the REMIC Trust Agreement, the
“Trust Agreements”), dated as of __________ __, 20_, by and between the Trustee and the
Sponsor and incorporating by reference the Standard Trust Provisions for Ginnie Mae MX
Trusts, ____ 1, 20__ Edition[,as amended through __________ __, 20_,] (the “MX Standard
Trust Provisions” and, together with the REMIC Standard Trust Provisions, the “Standard Trust
Provisions”)], of $_____________ aggregate [principal] [notional] amount of Guaranteed
[Multifamily] [HECM MBS] REMIC Pass-Through Securities [and MX Securities] (the
“Securities”) guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”).
The Securities are being sold to the Sponsor pursuant to the Trust Agreement[s]. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the glossary
contained in the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Guide currently in effect.
II-15-1
In connection with the foregoing, we have examined the following documents:
(a)
[a copy] [copies] of the Standard Trust Provisions;
(b)
a signed copy of [the] [each] Trust Agreement, which incorporate[s] by reference
the [related] Standard Trust Provisions;
(c)
a specimen security for [each Class of Residual Security] [the Residual Security]
evidencing ownership interests in the [REMIC] Trust established under the [REMIC] Trust
Agreement;
(d)
the Issuance Statement;
(e)
the [Amended and Restated] Articles of [Incorporation] [Association] [Restated
Organization Certificate] and [the Amended and Restated] Bylaws of the Trustee, together with
[Certificates of Corporate Existence and Fiduciary Powers with respect to the Trustee] [good
standing certificates with respect to the Trustee]; and
(f)
the resolutions [and other corporate action] of the Trustee pertaining to the subject
transactions, certified by [the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary] [an officer] of the Trustee.
We also have reviewed originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such other documents as we deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the
opinions set forth below.
For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed (a) the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies,
(c) the genuineness of signatures not witnessed by us, (d) the legal capacity of natural persons
and (e) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties and the
validity and binding effect thereof (other than the due authorization, execution and delivery of
documents by the Trustee and the validity and binding effect of documents upon the Trustee as
to which we express an opinion herein).
As to factual matters, we have relied upon representations included in the aforementioned
documents and in other documents delivered at the closing, upon certificates of officers of the
Trustee and upon certificates of public officials. In addition, we have obtained from officers and
employees of the parties described above such other certificates and assurances, and we have
examined such records, other documents and questions of law, as we have considered necessary
or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion letter. Whenever the phrase “to our
knowledge” is used herein, it refers to the actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm involved
in the representation of the Trustee in this transaction.
The enforceability of the Trust Agreement[s] against the parties thereto is subject to the
provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or
affecting the rights of creditors generally and principles of equity, whether considered at law or
in equity, except that Ginnie Mae may enforce the Trust Agreement[s] against the parties thereto
notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium law, or any law
II-15-2
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, to the extent that such law is preempted
by the authorizing law for the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program set forth at 12 U.S.C. §
1721(g)(3)(E)(iv).
We do not purport to express an opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
[State of ___________________,
______, the] State of New York and the United States of America.
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing and such other documents and information as
we have considered necessary for the purposes hereof, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The Trustee is a(n) ______________________
__________________ [corporation] [national banking
association], duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of
[____________] [the United States of America], and has all requisite power and authority to
enter into the Trust Agreement[s] and to perform its obligations thereunder.
2.
To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or
threatened against the Trustee that could materially adversely affect the Trustee’s ability to
perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement[s].
3.
[The] [Each] Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Trustee, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable
against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject to the limitations noted above.
4.
The Book-Entry Securities [and the Uncertificated Securities] have been duly and
validly authorized and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the [related] Trust Agreement
and are duly and validly issued and entitled to the benefits of [the] [such] [related] Trust
Agreement. [The] [Each Class of] Residual Security has been duly and validly authorized,
executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the [related] Trust
Agreement and is duly and validly issued and entitled to the benefits of such Trust Agreement.
5.
The performance by the Trustee of its duties pursuant to the Trust Agreement[s]
does not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a
default under, any statute or regulation currently governing the Trustee.
6.
Assuming that [each Asset Pool] [and for as long as,] [each of the Pooling
REMIC and the Issuing REMIC] [the Trust REMIC] qualifies and elects to be treated as a
REMIC for United States federal income tax purposes, [it] [neither the Pooling REMIC nor the
Issuing REMIC] [the Trust REMIC] will [not] be subject to [income, excise, or franchise taxes]
[any tax] imposed by the [Commonwealth] [State] of ______________ or any political
subdivision thereof [NOTE - INSERT THE TRUSTEE’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
BUSINESS AND, IF DIFFERENT, THE PLACE WHERE THE PRINCIPAL TRUSTEE
FUNCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRUST WILL TAKE PLACE] on its assets or
income, except to the extent it is subject to United States federal income tax.
We express no opinion as to any matter other than as expressly set forth herein, and no
other opinion is to be, or may be, inferred or implied herefrom. This opinion is given as of the
date hereof and is based on facts and conditions presently known to us and laws and regulations
II-15-3
currently in effect, and we do not undertake, and hereby disclaim, any obligation to advise you of
any change in any matters set forth herein.
We consent to reliance upon this opinion letter by you for the purpose of complying with
your requirements in connection with this transaction only as it relates to the specific legal issues
identified herein. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this opinion letter may not be
relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without our prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
