INTRODUCTION TO GINNIE MAE
PLATINUM SECURITIES
1.

Overview

Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities are issued through the Ginnie Mae Multiclass Securities Program
and provide holders of MBS with greater market and operating efficiencies. Investors who hold multiple
pools of MBS can combine new or existing MBS into a single Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. Once a
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate has been created, it can be used efficiently in structured finance
transactions, repurchase transactions and general trading.
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are good delivery against Ginnie Mae TBA transactions, even
if the underlying MBS have a current remaining term to maturity of less than 28 years. Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates are TBA eligible only if all of the underlying MBS collateral is TBA eligible.
The Platinum securitization program accommodates:


Fixed Rate as a 15-year or 30-year pool term product using Ginnie Mae Certificates.



Fixed Rate Jumbo Only as 15-year or 30-year using either the Ginnie Mae Multiple
Issuer Pool (MIP) or custom pool. See related Product Bulletin, dated 11/27/2017 (M
JM).



Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) securities as a Weighted Average Coupon (WAC)
product.



HECM MBS as a WAC product.

This Part III is intended to serve as a general program overview for prospective Depositors and
other interested parties. For more complete information on Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities and to

Ginnie Mae Platinum Securitization: Pooling & Issuance

Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities are designed for owners of Ginnie Mae Certificates who wish to
aggregate their separate Ginnie Mae Certificates into a single Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. As
described further herein, the Ginnie Mae Platinum securitization program permits the aggregation of
Ginnie Mae I Certificates with other Ginnie Mae I Certificates, or the aggregation of Ginnie Mae II
1

Certificates with other Ginnie Mae II Certificates (such Ginnie Mae I and II Certificates are referred to
herein as “Ginnie Mae Certificates” or as “MBS Assets”). In each case, the Ginnie Mae Certificates to be
aggregated must be held in book-entry form, must be all either thirty-year or fifteen-year MBS, must have
an aggregate remaining principal balance of at least $5,001,000 for Fixed Rate Platinum Series and
$1,001,000 for WAC Platinum Series. The newly issued Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate will have an
original principal balance equal to the aggregate remaining principal balance of the underlying Ginnie
Mae Certificates as of the Issuance Date. In addition to the pool collateral, Depositors are required to
submit an additional $1,000 Ginnie Mae Certificate, which will be used to pay the Administrator (see also
“—Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee” below).
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates may be issued in any month following that month’s publication
of the factor tape for the underlying Ginnie Mae Certificates. WAC Platinum Series and Fixed Rate
Platinum Series backed by custom pools may be issued in the same month as the underlying Ginnie Mae
Certificates. As such, the Submission Date for Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates may not occur until on
or after the eighth Business Day of the month. As described herein, Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are
issued through The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon” or “ BNYM”, the “Administrator” or the
“Trustee,” as applicable). BNY Mellon serves as Ginnie Mae’s Administrator and Trustee for each
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on each Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate in accordance with its terms; this guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States.
3.

Issuance Procedure Summary

To begin the issuance process for a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, a Depositor must submit an
executed Deposit Agreement, which can be accessed within the Platinum module of the MyGinnieMae
portal. Access to the portal is limited only to those individuals who have requested and obtained secure
login credentials. Depositors are strongly encouraged to obtain access to the portal well in advance of
pooling and issuance. For more information on access to the MyGinnieMae portal, please contact
Yvonne Vinson at (212) 815-2215; Email: [email protected] or Yvonne Monah at
(212) 815-2054; Email: [email protected]. Individuals may also contact Antonina
Caramico at (212) 815-2608; Email: [email protected].
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate will be issued on the first Business Day after the
Submission Date (the “Settlement Date”), which is the date on which the Depositor submits the Deposit
Agreement and the MBS Assets in accordance with the requirements stated in the MyGinnieMae portal.
Following the submission of the executed Deposit Agreement within the MyGinnieMae portal, a “pool
header” is created, which assigns a pool number and the CUSIP number for the Platinum pool. The
Depositor receives a Confirmation electronically. The Depositor also will receive a Limited Purpose
Account (the “LPA”) number, which the Depositor will use to transmit MBS Assets to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. MBS Assets must be delivered by 2:00 pm Eastern Standard Time one
business day before the Settlement Date.
4.

Certification Period

The Certification Period is the period commencing with the Submission Date and continuing
through the Settlement Date. On or before the Submission Date, the Depositor must have obtained a
Deposit Agreement and an MBS Schedule, completed such documents, and submitted them through the
portal for processing by the Administrator.

2

The Depositor must then transfer the MBS Assets identified on the MBS Schedule to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Confirmation. Then the Depositor
will complete all instructions for the Trust Receipt. Upon verification of the transfer and following
receipt of the trust receipt instructions, the Administrator will send a Trust Receipt to the Depositor or an
intermediary bank (which may be acting on behalf of a purchaser of the MBS Assets under a repurchase
agreement or a lender holding a security interest in the MBS Assets pursuant to a financing arrangement)
named therein. The Depositor will then review the expected Cash Fee. NOTE: Receipt of the Cash Fee
must be made before 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on the Settlement Date.
On the Settlement Date, the Platinum Certificate will be transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York’s custodian, and the $1,000 non-cash fee portion of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will be
transferred to the Administrator’s custodian. The Administrator will thereafter promptly post the related
Offering Circular Supplement and the underlying pool collateral on Ginnie Mae’s website.

FEES, ELIGIBLE POOL TYPES & CALCULATIONS
1.

Cash Fee

To create a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, the Depositor first must pay the Cash Fee to Ginnie
Mae (through the Administrator) no later than 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on the Settlement Date.
The Cash Fee schedule is set forth below and is followed by an example of the calculation of the Cash
Fee. In addition to the Cash Fee, the Depositor is responsible for a Non-Cash Fee, which is a $1,000
principal only portion of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series paid to the Administrator.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee may be changed from time to time at Ginnie Mae’s
discretion. The Cash Fee is calculated by (A) multiplying (1) the remaining principal balance of the MBS
Assets to be delivered in exchange for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities (including the $1,000 principal
only portion of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series paid to the Administrator) by (2) the Cash Fee in Tics as
of the Submission Date, and (B) subtracting $1,000 from the product determined in clause (A).
With respect to any Fixed Rate Platinum Series, the Cash Fee in Tics is determined as follows:
Face Amount
$5,001,000 to $24,999,999 .........................
$25,000,000 to $49,999,999 .......................
$50,000,000 to $499,999,999 .....................
$500,000,000 or more .................................

Fee
(in Tics)*
2.5
1.5
0.75
0.25

The minimum Cash Fee will be $5,000, and the maximum Cash Fee will be $156,250.
With respect to any WAC Platinum Series, the Cash Fee in Tics is determined as follows:
Face Amount
$1,00,000 to $9,999,999 .............................
$10,000,000 to $24,999,999 .......................
$25,000,000 or more ...................................

Fee
(in Tics)*
4.0
3.0

There is no minimum Cash Fee, however the related pool must have a minimum unpaid principal
balance of $1,000,000. There is no maximum Cash Fee.

Early Termination of Platinum Series

Each Series Trust Fund, and the related Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, may be
terminated prior to the Final Payment Date of such Series (each, an “Early Termination”) if each Holder
thereof has provided its consent to such termination; provided, however, that no such termination for a
Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be permitted if any Certificate of such Series is used at
the time of termination to back another Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate or REMIC Trust.
An Early Termination may be effected only by delivery of written notice (each, a “Notice of
Termination”) to Ginnie Mae, the Administrator and the Trustee by the 25th day of the month of the
proposed Early Termination. In the case of a Series issued in certificated form, the Notice of Termination
furnished to the Trustee must be accompanied by the physical certificates representing such Series. In the
case of a Series issued through the Depository, the Notice of Termination provided to the Trustee must be
accompanied by certain documents and the receipt of certain Securities. Delivery instructions must be
provided for the return of the MBS Assets.
The Notice of Termination to the Administrator must be accompanied by the withdrawal fees
shown in the chart below.
MBS Assets Withdrawal Fee
If Withdrawn On:

Withdrawal Fee:

Submission Date (before collateral is transferred)

$1,000

Submission Date (after collateral is transferred)

$5,000 plus $2 per MBS pool

Settlement Date (after collateral is transferred)

$7,500 plus $2 per MBS pool

After Settlement Date

$10,000 plus $2 per MBS pool

On the third Business Day following delivery of each of the foregoing documents and fees, the
Trustee will (i) cause the Ginnie Mae Certificates in the Series Trust Fund to be registered, on a pro rata
basis, in the name of the beneficial holders of such Series or to be delivered to the beneficial holders
through the Depository; (ii) cancel the related Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond; and (iii) terminate the
Series Trust Fund and cancel the related certificates. At that point, the Ginnie Mae Certificates are
eligible for re-pooling into new Ginnie Mae Platinum pools.
Final payment of amounts due Holders of a Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be
made on the Distribution Date occurring in the month of termination.

WARM and WALA Calculations for Ginnie Mae Platinum Pools

WARM – Weighted Average Remaining Term to Maturity
WALA – Weighted Average Loan Age
WARM and WALA is calculated as the weighted average of the remaining term to maturity and
loan age, respectively, of the underlying collateral of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum pool, as further
described below.

7

•

WARM is the weighted average (weighted by security remaining principal balance (“RPB”))
of the WARM of each underlying pool; provided that if underlying collateral pools in excess
of 15% of the aggregate RPB for the Ginnie Mae Platinum security have not reported any
WARM for the related reporting period, no WARM will be disclosed for the relevant Ginnie
Mae Platinum security.

•

WALA is the weighted average (weighted by security RPB) of the WALA of each underlying
pool; provided that if underlying collateral pools in excess of 15% of the aggregate RPB for
the Ginnie Mae Platinum security have not reported any WALA for the related reporting
period, no WALA will be disclosed for the relevant Platinum security.

_
__ (the “Intermediary Bank”)
$________________.00
$________
__.00 original face amount of Ginnie Mae Certificates (“MBS Assets”) as further
described in the attached schedule, which MBS Assets will be used in the issuance of a Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement. BNY Mellon will hold the MBS
Assets for the Intermediary Bank until 11:00 AM or at such time as the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
are delivered (the “Settlement Date”) and, thereupon will deliver in its capacity as Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee in exchange for the MBS Assets, to the Intermediary Bank or otherwise, in accordance with the
instructions of the Intermediary Bank (which delivery instruct ions may be standing instructions that
________________ (the “Depositor”) irrevocably authorizes the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee to follow),
the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates representing the Ginnie Mae Platinum Pool backed by such MBS
Assets, which will be held in trust pursuant and subject to the Deposit Agreement dated as of
_________________,
__, ______ (the “Agreement”) relating to such exchange.
At all times prior to the Settlement Date, BNY Mellon will hold the MBS Assets for the Intermediary
Bank under the terms hereof and has made appropriate notifications on its books and records to that
effect. Concurrent with the issuance and delivery of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, as instructed in
the Agreement, BNY Mellon’s obligation to hold the MBS Assets on behalf of the Intermediary Bank
shall automatically terminate, and BNY Mellon shall have no further obligation hereunder.
The Depositor and the Intermediary Bank irrevocably agree and acknowledge that BNY Mellon shall take
no action with respect to the MBS Assets prior to the Settlement Date unless BNY Mellon shall have
received the instructions of the Intermediary Bank. Upon receipt of any such instructions, BNY Mellon
will deliver the MBS Assets in accordance with such instruction. The Depositor affirms that if any
arrangement that it maintains prior to the Settlement Date involving the MBS Assets results in the failure
of the MBS Assets to remain in BNY Mellon’s possession through the Settlement Date, such failure shall
constitute a breach of the Agreement by the Depositor.
The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold each of Ginnie Mae and BNY Mellon, its officers, directors,
employees and agents harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and

9

expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or in connection with BNY
Mellon’s holding of the MBS Assets and acting in accordance with this trust receipt and the Agreement.
In the event, for any reason, the issuance of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate does not occur, BNY
Mellon will deliver the MBS Assets upon the receipt of written instructions from the Intermediary Bank.
By receipt of this Trust Receipt, the terms of this Trust Receipt shall be conclusively deemed to be
acceptable to the Depositor and the Intermediary Bank.
BNY Mellon is an agent, bailee and custodian only and is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to
be, a representative, trustee or fiduciary of or for either the Depositor or the Intermediary Bank.
All instructions and notices to BNY Mellon shall be delivered to its offices at 4 New York Plaza,
17th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attn. Ginnie Mae Platinum Pool Processing Unit.
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Agreement.

This trust receipt shall be governed by and continued in accordance with the laws of the State of New

This SEVENTH AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT dated as of October 1, 2011 (the
“Seventh Amendment and Restatement”) of the GINNIE MAE PLATINUM TRUST AGREEMENT,
dated as of October 1, 1994 (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement”) (as amended by each
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT, the “Amendment and Restatement”), made with respect to the
formation of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust”), among The Bank of
New York Mellon (“BNYM”), as administrator (the “Administrator”), BNYM, as trustee (the “Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee”), Randolph F. Totten, on behalf of the initial depositor (the “Initial Depositor”),
and each of the several depositors of MBS Assets from time to time (each, a “Depositor”). All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Glossary in effect on the relevant Issuance Date.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
From time to time in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide, a Depositor may exchange
two or more previously issued Ginnie Mae Certificates for a new Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates issued pursuant to this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, as amended from time to time
and as supplemented by the applicable Deposit Agreement upon the delivery of the MBS Assets and the
payment of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee. Each Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
will represent, in the aggregate, the entire undivided beneficial ownership of a Series Trust Fund
consisting of the MBS Assets deposited by a Depositor pursuant to the applicable Deposit Agreement and
will be guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae.
As permitted by Section 8.03 of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, the Administrator
and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, with the consent and at the request of Ginnie Mae but without the
consent of any Depositor, including the Initial Depositor, or any Holder or Holders, desire to amend and
restate the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement in order to (a) make provisions with respect to the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement required to accommodate the deposit by Depositors of fixed-rate
Ginnie Mae II Certificates in exchange for Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, (b) reflect amendments to
the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement adopted prior to the date hereof and (c) make certain other

Section 1.01.

Establishment of Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust; Segregation of Series Trust Funds.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, the
Initial Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee, without recourse, in trust, all right, title and interest of the Initial Depositor in and
to the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) to have and to hold, in trust, and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
declares that it has received and shall hold such amount as Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, in trust until the
termination of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust in accordance with Section 6.01. Upon termination of this
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee shall distribute the amount of $10.00 to the
Initial Depositor. In addition, as of every Issuance Date, each Depositor initiating an exchange of MBS
Assets for one or more Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on such Issuance Date transfers, assigns, sets
over, deposits with and otherwise conveys to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, without recourse, in trust,
all the right, title and interest of such Depositor in and to the MBS Assets identified on the MBS Schedule
attached to the related Deposit Agreement and all other items included or to be included in the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trust and allocated to a Series Trust Fund, including distributions of principal and interest
due with respect to the underlying MBS Assets on and after the related Issuance Date, to have and to
hold, in trust, and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee declares that it will receive and hold each Ginnie Mae
Certificate as Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Holders of the related
Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement. In connection with the issuance of a Series of
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, the Depositor shall pay the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee to the
Administrator. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee shall be payable to the Administrator for the
account of Ginnie Mae.
The Administrator, on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust, will cause the MBS Assets deposited with the Depository in connection with a Deposit Agreement
to be designated as a separate Series Trust Fund and shall pay to Ginnie Mae the applicable Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty Fee received from the Depositor. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will issue a
separate Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates to the related Depositor, which represents the entire
beneficial ownership interest in a Series Trust Fund, in consideration of the exchange and transfer of the
MBS Assets. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will also issue a Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond to the
Administrator. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond is a non-recourse debt obligation of the Series Trust
Fund to which it relates.
Section 1.02.

Sale of MBS Assets.

The deposit of MBS Assets by a Depositor to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust pursuant to the
related Deposit Agreement shall occur as of the related Issuance Date for such Series and shall constitute
a sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance by the Depositor to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust of all
right, title and interest in such Ginnie Mae Certificate as of such date.
Section 1.03.

Registration of MBS Assets.

Each Ginnie Mae Certificate transferred to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will be registered in
the name of the Depository, or its nominee, for the benefit of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. The
books and records of the Depository will reflect the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee as registered holder of
the MBS Assets, and the books and records of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will reflect that it holds

2

the MBS Assets as Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust for the benefit of the
Holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
Section 1.04.

Delivery of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

In accordance with the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide, the Administrator, on behalf of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trust and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, shall deliver to the Depositor (through the
facilities of the Depository) the related Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates after the execution and
delivery of a Deposit Agreement and the transfer of the related MBS Assets to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee.
ARTICLE II

THE GINNIE MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

(a)
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. Each Series of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
represents the entire beneficial ownership in a Series Trust Fund.
(b)
Forms and Denominations of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. All Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and issued through
the Depository in book-entry form. Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be issuable in minimum
denominations representing initial principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess of
$1,000.
After the initial issuance of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate in Book-Entry Form, any
Beneficial Owner may request a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate in certificated form substantially in the
form of Exhibit 1 hereto registered in its name for a fee of $25,000 (which fee, less the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trustee’s and Administrator’s expenses in complying with the request, will be payable to Ginnie
Mae) per physical certificate requested. Any such request for a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate in
certificated form shall be made through the standard procedures of the Depository and any other financial
intermediary through which the Beneficial Owner holds its Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate in bookentry form. Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be executed and authenticated by the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or the Administrator, as authenticating agent for the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust.
At any time, the Holder of a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security, in accordance with the
procedures of the Depository, may surrender such Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security to the
Administrator and become the Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Security of like
tenor and denomination. The Administrator may assess an appropriate service charge for this surrender.
(c)
Method and Timing of Distribution. Distributions on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities
shall be made by the Administrator on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date to each Holder as of the
related Record Date. Any reference herein to “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date” shall mean, with
respect to distributions or payments on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security, the Business Day
following the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date. Distributions on the Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities shall be made through the facilities of the Depository pursuant to instructions
provided by the Administrator. Distributions on any Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum 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
3

immediately available funds on the related and each subsequent Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, to
the account of such Holder, if such Holder holds Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities of a Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series in an initial aggregate principal balance of at least $5,000,000. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution in retirement of any Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security will be
made only upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the corporate trust office of the
Administrator. In the event of a principal or interest payment error, the Administrator shall, pursuant to
Ginnie Mae’s instructions, effect corrections.
(d)
Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature by an
authorized officer of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust,
under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee’s seal imprinted thereon (which may be a facsimile). Certificated
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at
any time authorized officers of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee shall bind the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates or did not hold such offices at the
date of the issuance of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. No certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate shall represent entitlement to any benefit under this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, or
be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, or the Administrator, as authenticating agent for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, by manual
signature, and such certificate of authentication up on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be dated
the date of their authentication.

Delivery of Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities occurs when the Registrar registers the
transferee (as set forth in the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement) as the registered owner of
such Security.
In addition, upon payment of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Fee as provided herein, the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or Administrator shall authenticate the certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate, which shall bear the following Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty:
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 GINNIE
MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE
GINNIE MAE PLATINUM 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 2.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

The Administrator shall keep one or more offices or agencies at which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Administrator shall maintain a Register and provide for the
registration, transfer and exchange of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates as herein provided.

4

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate held in
certificated form at the office of the Administrator maintained for such purpose and upon satisfaction of
the conditions set forth below in this Section 2.02, the Administrator shall promptly execute, authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates of like tenor and aggregate denomination.
At the option of the Holders, Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates held in certificated form may be
exchanged for other Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates of authorized denominations, of like tenor and of a
like aggregate denomination, upon surrender of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates to be exchanged at
the office maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are surrendered
for exchange, the Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed (if so
required by the Administrator) by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in
writing.
The Administrator may assess an appropriate service charge for any exchange or transfer of any
certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate in certificated form. The Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. The Trustee shall
cancel and destroy all certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates surrendered for transfer and
exchange according to its standard procedures.

Section 2.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate is surrendered to the Administrator, or the
Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Administrator such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Administrator that such Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, or the
Administrator, as authenticating agent for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, shall promptly execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificate, a new Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate of like tenor and Series. Upon the
issuance of any new Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate under this Section, the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee or Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or Administrator and their counsel) connected
therewith. Any duplicate Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership interest in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust and the
related Series Trust Fund, as if originally issued, regardless of whether the lost, stolen or destroyed Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 2.04.

Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bonds.

Each Series Trust Fund shall issue a principal only bond in addition to a Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate in connection with the establishment of such Series Trust Fund, which bond shall be a nonrecourse obligation of such Series Trust Fund. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee shall issue a single
Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond in addition to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate(s) issued pursuant to
Section 2.01(a). Any such Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond shall be issued in certificated form.

5

The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond for each Series Trust Fund shall be issued in the initial
principal amount of $1,000. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond shall be entitled to receive on each
Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date its proportion of the principal distributions made on the related MBS
Assets with respect to the related Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date but will not be entitled to receive
any payment of interest. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond shall be authenticated in the manner
prescribed for certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in Article II hereof.
In the event of a termination of any Series Trust Fund pursuant to a vote by the Holders of 100%
of the outstanding Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates of such Series in accordance with Section 6.01, then
the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond shall become due and payable in full on the next succeeding Ginnie
Mae Platinum Payment Date.
It is the intent of the parties that the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bonds constitute debt obligations
of the Series Trust Funds to which they relate, and the Holders and the Beneficial Owners of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum PO Bonds and of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall treat the Ginnie Mae Platinum
PO Bonds accordingly for United States federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE III

Section 3.01.

Establishment of Depository Account.

With respect to each Series Trust Fund, the Administrator shall establish and maintain a master
limited-purpose account with the Depository, which Depository Account shall be credited with all

for funds in and all deposits to and withdrawals from the Book-Entry Depository Account on a trust-bytrust basis by means of trust specific subaccounts.
Section 3.02.

Section 3.03.

Payments on the MBS Assets.

Payments on the MBS Assets. On each Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date, the Depository, as
registered holder of the MBS Assets, will be entitled to receive all payments on the MBS Assets. The
amount of such payments on the MBS Assets shall be held by the Depository in trust in the appropriate
Depository Account for the exclusive benefit of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, as the registered holder
of the MBS Assets on the books and records of the Depository. On each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date, the Depository will credit the Depository Account with all amounts received by the Depository in
respect of the MBS Assets with respect to the related Ginnie Mae Certificate Payment Date.
Section 3.04.

Distributions.

(a)
Distribution Shortfall. By no later than 8:30 a.m. on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date, the Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the amounts distributable as
principal and interest on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date
(including the amount payable on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond), exceed (ii) the amounts

6

received on the MBS Assets allocated to the related Series Trust Fund with respect to the related Ginnie
Mae Certificate Payment Date (the “Shortfall Amount”). The Administrator shall notify Ginnie Mae of
the Shortfall Amount and the account to which Ginnie Mae should transfer the Shortfall Amount. By no
later than 8:30 a.m. on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, the Depository shall determine the
amount, if any, by which (i) the amounts distributable as principal and interest to the Book-Entry Ginnie
Mae Platinum Securities on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date exceeds (ii) the amounts on deposit
in the Depository Account as of such date (the “Book-Entry Shortfall Amount”). The Depository shall
notify Ginnie Mae of the Book-Entry Shortfall Amount and the account to which Ginnie Mae should
transfer the Book-Entry Shortfall Amount.
(b)
Withdrawals from Depository Account. On each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date,
the Depository shall wire to the Administrator the excess, if any, of the amount on deposit in each
Depository Account over the amounts distributable as principal and interest on the Book-Entry Ginnie
Mae Platinum Securities of the related Series.

Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities
. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee hereby
(c)
Bookdirects the Depository to withdraw from each Depository Account, as of each Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date, all amounts distributable as principal and interest on the Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum
Securities of the related Series. On each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, the Depository will credit
the accounts of its record owner of such Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities in accordance with
the standard procedures of the Depository.
(d)
Distributions and Payments. On each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, the
Administrator shall, with respect to each Series, (i) pay to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee Fee provided for in Section 5.06 hereof and (ii) distribute all amounts distributable
on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates held in certificated form or payable on a Ginnie Mae Platinum
PO Bond held in certificated form to the registered Holder thereof as provided herein. Any distributions
of interest made on a Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates issued
in respect of a particular Series shall be at the Interest Rate set forth in the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate and for the preceding month.
(e)
Allocations of Distributions. With respect to each Series Trust Fund, the Holders of each
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate shall receive distributions of principal and the Holder of each Ginnie
Mae Platinum PO Bond shall receive payments of principal on a pro rata basis. Distributions of interest
shall be made only to the Holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. All distributions made on any
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date shall be applied first to any
interest payable thereon on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date and then to any principal thereof.
(f)
Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty. With respect to each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series,
pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty Agreement, Ginnie Mae, in exchange for the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty Fee, has guaranteed to each Holder of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate the timely
distribution of principal and interest on the Holder’s certificate and to each Holder of a Ginnie Mae
Platinum PO Bond the timely payment of principal on the Holder’s bond in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(g)
Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payments. If the Administrator or the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee discovers that payments on the MBS Assets underlying a Series will be inadequate to distribute
principal and interest to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Series or to
pay principal on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond, the Administrator or the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trustee promptly shall inform Ginnie Mae that a Ginnie Mae Guaranty Payment in an amount
equal to the Shortfall Amount must be made. In that event, Ginnie Mae (or its agent) may instruct the
Person designated by the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and acceptable to Ginnie Mae as the Person to
7

hold funds on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee (which Person initially shall be BNYM) to
transfer such Shortfall Amount to the Depository Account in immediately available funds in accordance
with Section 3.04(a). In addition, if on the Final Payment Date of any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, the
funds available to be distributed on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and paid on the related
Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond are insufficient to reduce the principal amount of such Series to zero,
Ginnie Mae will 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 principal amount of any Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series to zero on its Final Payment Date, such Series shall continue to be treated as
outstanding for all purposes, and Ginnie Mae shall be deemed to have purchased the related Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates and Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond and will be entitled to all subsequent payments
on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and such Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond.
(h)
Payment Date Statement. No later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day
following each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee shall provide to the
Information Agent a Payment Date Statement in such form as is approved by the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee and Ginnie Mae. Each Payment Date Statement will specify (i) the Trustee Fee payable to the
Trustee, (ii) amounts distributable on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date as principal and interest
on the Book-Entry Securities from amounts that will be on deposit in the Depository Account and
(iii) Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment amounts distributable on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date as
principal and interest on the Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities.

Section 3.05.

departments of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, the Depository, the Administrator and Ginnie Mae in

law, to alter or waive any of the requirements of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide or to institute other

Platinum Trust Agreement, with the same effect as if originally named as trustee therein. The predecessor

instructed by the Administrator to refrain from taking a particular action) and the Holders of a Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series shall not take any action or cause the related Series Trust Fund to take any action
that could endanger the status of such Series Trust Fund as a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes, unless the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and the Administrator have each received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not endanger such status.

Section 7.02.

Prohibited Activities.

Neither the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, the Administrator, Ginnie Mae nor any Depositor shall

assets for a specific Series Trust Fund or (c) cause the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust or any Series Trust
Fund to engage in any action not contemplated by this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, unless it

The death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in a Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate or Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond shall not operate to terminate this Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust or any Series Trust Fund, 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 the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust or any Series Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
Section 8.02.

Control by Holders.

Except as set forth in Sections 6.01 and 8.03, no Holder in any Series shall have any right to vote
or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of any Series Trust
Fund or related Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates or Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond, or the obligations of
the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates or Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bonds, 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 this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust
Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
Section 8.03.

Amendment of Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement.

(a)
This Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and Administrator, with the consent of Ginnie Mae but without the consent
of any Depositor or any Holder or Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, provided that any such amendment shall not
effect a change in principal amount, Interest Rates, Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Dates, the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty or other payment terms for the Series or otherwise adversely affect 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 8.0 3(b) below, to make any other
changes that Ginnie Mae requests.
(b)
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the consent of each Holder of a
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate that may be adversely affected, this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust
Agreement may not be amended to impair or affect the right of such Holder to receive distributions of
principal and interest (including any payment under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty in respect thereof)
as herein provided, on or after the respective due date of such payment, or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such date.
Section 8.04.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the Administrator, or any agent of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee, Ginnie Mae or the Administrator, may deem and treat the Holder of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates or Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bonds (which, with respect to the Book-Entry
Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities, will be the Depository (or its nominee)), as the absolute owner of such
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates or Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bonds for the purpose of receiving
16

distributions of principal or interest on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates or payment of principal on
such Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond and for all other purposes, and neither the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, Ginnie Mae nor the Administrator, nor any agent of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, Ginnie
Mae or the Administrator, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such distributions or
payments 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 or paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the duty for monies distributable or
payable by the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee upon such Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates or Ginnie Mae
Platinum PO Bonds.
The Holder of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Security is not the Beneficial Owner of such
Ginnie Mae Platinum Security. The rights of a Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum
Security with respect to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the Administrator may be
exercised only through the Holder, which is the Depository or its nominee. The Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the Administrator will have no obligation to a Beneficial Owner of a BookEntry Ginnie Mae Platinum Security because such obligations are satisfied directly to the Depository.

Section 8.05.

Third-Party Beneficiary; Ginnie Mae Subrogation.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, Administrator and each Depositor hereby acknowledge and
agree that Ginnie Mae is a third-party beneficiary of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement and
entitled to enforce all obligations of any party to this Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement. Ginnie Mae
shall be subrogated to all the rights, interests, remedies, powers and privileges of the Holders in respect of
any Shortfall Amount paid by Ginnie Mae.

Section 8.06.

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.

distributions allocable to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series indicated on the face hereof issued by the Trust,
the initial assets of which consist primarily of the MBS Assets.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT

is the registered owner (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Holder”) of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate of the
denominations of all Certificates of this Series) in any monthly distributions allocable to this Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series. The Certificates were issued by the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust created pursuant to a
trust agreement, as amended in connection with the deposit of the MBS Assets underlying this Series (as
amended, the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement”) among The Bank of New York Mellon
(“BNYM”), as Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, BNYM, as Administrator, and the depositors of the
underlying MBS Assets from time to time. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement in the form in
effect on the Issuance Date. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the term s, provisions and
conditions of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, to which the Ginnie Mae Platinum Holder of
this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance here of, assents and by which such Ginnie Mae Platinum
Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, distributions will be made on
each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, commencing in the month following the month of the Issuance
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the related “Record
Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the
distributions, if any, allocable to this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust Agreement. The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date” for this Certificate shall be the day of each
month on which payment is to be made by the Depository to the beneficial owners of the underlying
Ginnie Mae Certificates that are in Book-Entry Form, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depository as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments on this certificate
will be made on the Business Day following the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date if held in
certificated form.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections in respect of the underlying
MBS Assets and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty, all as more specifically set forth in the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement. This Certificate does not represent an obligation of the Administrator, the
Depositor or the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.
Distributions on the Certificates held in Book-Entry Form shall be made on each Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depository. Distributions
on any Certificate held in certificated form shall be made on the Business Day following each Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment 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 Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date and each subsequent Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date to the account of such Holder, if such
Holder holds Certificates having an initial aggregate principal balance of at least $5,000,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in retirement of any certificate will be made only
upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the office of the Administrator.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement may be amended for any purpose, without the consent of any Ginnie Mae
Platinum Holder or Ginnie Mae Platinum Holders. However, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement
may not be a mended without the consent of the affected Ginnie Mae Platinum 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 Platinum Guaranty) to any Ginnie Mae
Platinum Holder, or the right of any Ginnie Mae Platinum Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment. Any such consent by the Ginnie Mae Platinum Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Ginnie Mae Platinum Holder and up on all future holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Certificates of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series are issuable in Book-Entry Form and in
denominations specified in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement. As provided in the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth (a) Beneficial Owners of
Certificates in Book-Entry Form may request Certificates in certificated form for a fee of $25,000 per
physical certificate, (b) Holders of Certificates in certificated form may, upon request, surrender their
Certificates and become the Beneficial Owner of a Certificate in Book-Entry Form of like tenor and
denomination and (c) all Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates 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 Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Series Trust Fund to which this Certificate relates is the non-recourse obligor on the debt
obligation represented by the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond.
The Administrator, Ginnie Mae and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and any agent of the
Administrator, Ginnie Mae or the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Administrator, Ginnie Mae
nor the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement and the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust relating to this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series shall terminate upon the payment to Ginnie
Mae Platinum Holders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement.
Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been executed by the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GINNIE MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATES

General
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. The full faith and credit of the United States of America stands behind each Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty. Pursuant to the Seventh Amendment and Restatement as of October 1, 2011 of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1994, among The Bank of New York
Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) successor in interest to The Bank of New York, as Administrator and as Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee, the Initial Depositor and each of the Depositors, as it may be supplemented and
amended from time to time, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will issue each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.

Forms of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates; Book-Entry Procedures
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate initially will be issued and maintained in Book-Entry Form
through the book-entry system of the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks (the “Fedwire Book-Entry System”).
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series initially will be represented by one or more certificates
registered in the name of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (together with any successor or other
depository selected by Ginnie Mae, the “Depository”). This Base Offering Circular refers to those whose
names appear on the Register as registered holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (which will
include the Depository’s nominee, MBSCC & Co., and any registered holders of Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates) as “Holders” of those Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
The Fedwire Book-Entry System is an electronic facility operated by the U.S. Federal Reserve
Banks for maintaining securities accounts and for effecting transfers. The Fed wire Book-Entry system is
a real-time, delivery-versus-payment, gross settlement system that allows for the simultaneous transfer of
securities against payment. The Fedwire Book-Entry System is used to clear, settle and pay not only
Ginnie Mae Securities, but also all U.S. Treasury marketable debt instruments, the majority of book-entry
securities issued by other government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and the mortgagebacked securities issued by the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Beneficial ownership of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Security will be subject to the rules
and procedures governing the Depository and its participants as in effect from time to time. The
Depository will maintain evidence of the interests of its participants in any Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates by appropriate entries in the Depository’s books and records. Only participants of
the Fedwire Book-Entry System are eligible to maintain book-entry accounts directly with the Depository.
A Beneficial Owner that is not a participant of the Fedwire Book-Entry system generally will evidence its
interest in a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate by appropriate entries in the books and records
of one or more financial intermediaries, including a Depository participant. A Beneficial Owner of a
Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate must rely upon these procedures to evidence its beneficial
ownership, and may transfer its beneficial ownership only if it complies with the procedures of the
appropriate financial intermediaries. Correspondingly, a Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate must depend upon its financial intermediaries (including the Depository, as Holder)
to enforce its rights with respect to a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate.
The Administrator will authenticate the certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on behalf
of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be freely transferable
and exchangeable at the offices of the Administrator in New York, New York. The Administrator may
impose a service charge upon Holders for any registration of exchange or transfer of Certificated Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates, and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge incurred in connection with any transfer.
1

Minimum Denominations
Each Series Trust Fund will issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in minimum dollar
denominations representing initial principal balances of $1,000 and multiples of $1 in excess of $1,000.

Monthly Payments
Each month, the Administrator shall calculate the amount of principal and interest distributable
on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (the “Payment Amount”). The Payment Amount for each Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date will equal (a) the sum of principal and
interest payable on the underlying MBS Assets less (b) amounts payable to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement and amounts payable on the related Ginnie
Mae Platinum PO Bond. The Administrator will determine the amount of principal expected to be
received on the MBS Assets during that month on the basis of Certificate Factors for those Ginnie Mae
Certificates on the sixth Business Day of the month, in the case of Ginnie Mae I Certificates, and the
seventh Business Day of the month, in the case of Ginnie Mae II Certificates.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series is the factor (carried to
eight decimal places) that may be multiplied by the Original Principal Balance of the related Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series to determine the Principal Balance of that Ginnie Mae Platinum Series after giving effect
to the distributions of principal to be made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and payments to be
made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date. The
Administrator will cause the Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors to be included in the monthly factor tape
relating to the MBS Assets.
For any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, investors can calculate the amount of principal to be
distributed on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by multiplying the Original Principal Balance of that
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by the difference between its Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors for the preceding
and current months. The amount of interest to be distributable on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series on
each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date will equal 30 days’ interest at the Interest Rate for that Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series on its Principal Balance as determined by its Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for the
preceding month.
The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date” for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be the
day of each month on which payment is to be made by the Depository to the beneficial owners of the
underlying Ginnie Mae Certificates that are in Book-Entry Form, in accordance with the established rules
and procedures of the Depository, as in effect from time to time. The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date” shall be with respect to distributions or payments on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security,
the Business Day following the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date for Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities.

Method of Payments
Distributions of principal and interest on a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will be made on each
Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (or, with respect to Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities, the
Business Day following the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date) to the Persons in whose names the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are registered on the related Record Date.
The Administrator will make distributions of principal and interest on any Book-Entry Ginnie
Mae Platinum Security to the Depository, and Beneficial Owners will receive distributions through
credits to accounts maintained on the books and records of appropriate financial intermediaries (including
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as Holder) for the benefit of those Beneficial Owners.
2

The Administrator will make each distribution on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security on
the Business Day following each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (a) by check mailed to the Holder
at the Holder’s address as it appears in the applicable Register on the applicable Record Date or (b) upon
receipt by the Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date, to the account of the Holder thereof, if the Holder holds Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates of a
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series in an initial aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in retirement of any Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate at the Administrator’s offices in New York, New York.
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION
The Government National Mortgage Association is a wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of
the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Section 306(g) of Title III
of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended (the “Housing Act”), authorizes Ginnie Mae to
guarantee the timely payment of the principal of, and interest on, certificates or securities that are based
on and backed by a pool of mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration
under the Housing Act (each, an “FHA Loan”) or by the Rural Housing Service, formerly the Farmers
Home Administration, under Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 (each, a “RHS Loan”), or by the
Department of Veterans Affairs under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended, or
Chapter 37 of Title 38, United States Code (each, a “VA Loan” and, together with FHA Loans and RHS
Loans, “Government Loans”).
Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act provides that “the full faith and credit of the United
States is pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required to be paid under any guaranty
under this subsection.” To meet its obligations under its guaranties, Ginnie Mae is authorized, under
Section 306(d) of the National Housing Act, to borrow from the United States Treasury with no
limitations as to amount.
GINNIE MAE PLATINUM GUARANTY
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of interest and principal on each Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series (in accordance with the terms of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series as specified in the related
Offering Circular Supplement). The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States of America. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty will be set forth on the Certificated
Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities.
THE MBS ASSETS

General
Each MBS Asset included in a Series Trust Fund will be either (i) a “fully -modified passthrough” mortgage-backed certificate (a “Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate”) issued and serviced by a
mortgage banking company or other financial concern approved by Ginnie Mae (a “Ginnie Mae Issuer”)
or (ii) a previously issued Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate (together, with Ginnie Mae MB S Certificates,
“Ginnie Mae Certificates”).
With respect to each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, a Depositor, pursuant to a Deposit Agreement,
will transfer to the Series Trust Fund the MBS Assets with underlying Mortgage Loans that are secured
by first liens on single-family residential properties, including condominiums (“Mortgaged Properties”).
3

The Depositor will represent and warrant in the Deposit Agreement that the information set forth
therein, including the principal balance and Certificate Rate for each Ginnie Mae Certificate as of the
Issuance Date, is true and correct as of such date.
The Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets will consist of Government Loans secured by
mortgage loans on residential properties, including level payment mortgage loans, “buy down” mortgage
loans and “high balance” mortgage loans. All Mortgage Loans underlying a particular Ginnie Mae
Certificate must be of the same type (for example, all level payment single family mortgages) and have a
fixed annual interest rate.
Ginnie Mae will have guaranteed each Ginnie Mae Certificate included in a Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series in accordance with a guaranty agreement (a “Certificate Guaranty Agreement”) between Ginnie
Mae and the Ginnie Mae Issuer. Pursuant to its Certificate Guaranty Agreement, a Ginnie Mae Issuer
will be required to advance its own funds in order to make timely payments of all amounts due on each of
those Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, even if the payments received by the Ginnie Mae Issuer on the
Government Loans underlying a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate are less than the amounts due on that
Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate.
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal of and interest on each Ginnie Mae
Certificate securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, and this obligation is backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States. Each Ginnie Mae Certificate will have an original maturity of not more than
30 years and will be based on and backed by a pool of Government Loans. The registered holder of a
Ginnie Mae Certificate will receive fixed monthly payments of principal and interest equal to the
aggregate amount of the scheduled monthly principal and interest payments on the Government Loans
underlying that Ginnie Mae Certificate, less in the case of a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate, applicable
servicing and guaranty fees totaling between 0.250% and 1.250% per annum of the outstanding principal
balance. In addition, payments on a Ginnie Mae Certificate will include any prepayments and other
unscheduled recoveries of principal of the Government Loans underlying that Ginnie Mae Certificate.
In the case of Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, each Ginnie Mae Issuer will perform the routine
functions required for servicing of Government Loans for which it is responsible, including mortgagor
billings, receipt and posting of payments, payment of property taxes and hazard insurance premiums,
remittance, collections and customer service. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer will be obligated under its
Certificate Guaranty Agreements with Ginnie Mae to service the pooled Government Loans in
accordance with FHA, RH S and VA requirements and with generally accepted practices in the mortgage
lending industry. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer’s responsibilities with respect to the pooled Government Loans
will include collection of all principal and interest payments and payments made by borrowers toward
escrows established for taxes and insurance premiums; maintenance of necessary hazard insurance
policies; institution of all actions necessary to foreclose on, or take other appropriate action with respect
to, loans in default; and collection of insurance and guaranty benefits.
The Depository or its nominee, as registered holder (on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee) of the MBS Assets securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, has the right to proceed directly
against Ginnie Mae under the terms of the Ginnie Mae Certificate for any amounts that are not paid when
due.
Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates are issued under either the Ginnie Mae I Program or the Ginnie
Mae II Program. Ginnie Mae I Certificates and Ginnie Mae II Certificates are substantially similar,
although certain differences do exist.

4

Ginnie Mae I Certificates
Under the Ginnie Mae I Program, Ginnie Mae I MBS Certificates are issued and marketed by a
single Ginnie Mae Issuer that has assembled a pool of current mortgage loans to back those Ginnie Mae I
MBS Certificates. A “current” mortgage loan is a mortgage loan with a scheduled first payment date not
more than 24 months before the Issue Date of the related Ginnie Mae I MBS Certificates or Ginnie Mae II
MBS Certificate. All mortgage loans underlying a particular Ginnie Mae I MBS Certificate must be of
the same type (for example, all single-family, level- payment mortgage loans) and have the same fixed
annual interest rate. The per annum pass-through rate on each Ginnie Mae I MBS Certificate is 50 basis
points less than the annual interest rate on the mortgage loans included in the pool backing the related
Ginnie Mae I MBS Certificate. Payments of principal and interest are made to holders of Ginnie Mae I
Certificates on the 15th of each month (or the first Business Day thereafter).

Ginnie Mae II Certificates
Under the Ginnie Mae II Program, mortgage pools may be formed by aggregating packages of
current fixed rate mortgage loans submitted by more than one Ginnie Mae Issuer for a particular issue
date and pass-through rate. The resulting pool, which backs a single issue of Ginnie Mae II MBS
Certificates, is marketed and administered by each participating Ginnie Mae Issuer to the extent of the
mortgage loans contributed by it to the pool. Each Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate issued under a
multiple issuer pool, however, is backed by a proportionate interest in the entire pool (and not just the
mortgage loans contributed to the pool by any one Ginnie Mae Issuer). Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates
may also be backed by a custom pool of current fixed rate mortgage loans formed by a single Ginnie Mae
Issuer. Payments of principal and interest are made to holders of Ginnie Mae II Certificates on the
20th of each month (or the first Business Day thereafter).
Each Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate pool consists entirely of fixed rate mortgage loans. Fixed
rate mortgage loans underlying any particular Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate must be of the same type,
but may have annual interest rates that vary from each other by up to 1.00% per annum. The per annum
Certificate Rate on each Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate will be between 0.50% and 1.00% per annum, in
the case of Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates issued prior to July 1, 2003, and will be between 0.25% and
0.75% per annum in the case of Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates issued on or after July 1, 2003, less than
the highest annual interest rate on any mortgage loan included in the pool of mortgage loans backing the
Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate.
The VA Loan Program
The VA is an Executive Branch Department of the United States, headed by the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs. VA currently administers a variety of federal assistance programs on behalf of eligible
veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries. VA administers a loan guaranty program pursuant to
which VA guarantees a portion of loans made to eligible veterans.
Under the VA loan guaranty program, a VA Loan may be made to any eligible veteran by an
approved private sector mortgage lender. VA guarantees payment to the holder of that loan of a fixed
percentage of the loan indebtedness, up to a maximum dollar amount, in the event of default by the
veteran borrower. When a delinquency is reported to VA and no realistic alternative to foreclosure is
developed by the loan holder or through VA’s supplemental servicing of the loan, VA determines,
through an economic analysis, whether VA will (a) authorize the holder to convey the property securing
the VA Loan to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs following termination or (b) pay the loan guaranty
amount to the holder. The decision as to disposition of properties securing defaulted VA Loans is made
on a case-by-case basis using the procedures set forth in 38 U.S.C. Section 3732(c), as amended.

5

The FHA Loan Program
The FHA, an organizational unit within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was
established to encourage improvement in housing standards and conditions, to provide an adequate home
financing system by insurance of housing mortgages and credit and to exert a stabilizing influence on the
mortgage market. FHA provides insurance for lenders against loss on eligible mortgages.
Under the FHA mortgage insurance program, an FHA home mortgage may be made to borrowers
meeting certain credit standards by an approved mortgage lender. FHA insures payment to the holder of
that loan in the event of default by the borrower. Upon default, the lender, depending on the
circumstances, may (a) assign the mortgage to FHA; (b) acquire title (through foreclosure or deed in lieu
of foreclosure) and convey title to FHA; or (c) work with the borrower to sell the property before the
foreclosure sale. The lender will receive insurance benefits equal to the unpaid principal balance of the
loan, plus approved expenses.

The RD Loan Program
The RD, formerly the Rural Housing Service, is a division of the Department of Agriculture,
authorized to insure loans made by private sector mortgage lenders to low and moderate-income rural
families in an amount equal to 90 percent of the loan. A small percentage of Ginnie Mae Certificates are
backed by RD-insured loans.
YIELD, MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
The prepayment experience of the Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets will affect the
Weighted Average Life of and the yield realized by investors in the related Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. Mortgagors may voluntarily prepay their Mortgage Loans in full or in part at any time
without penalty. The rate of principal payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and
payments of certain other amounts resulting from defaults) on the Mortgage Loans generally depends on a
variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors, including prevailing market interest rates and
general economic factors. The rate of prepayments on conventional mortgage loans has fluctuated
significantly in recent years. There is no assurance, however, that prepayment patterns for the Mortgage
Loans will conform to patterns for more traditional types of conventional fixed-rate mortgage loans. In
general, if prevailing mortgage interest rates fall materially below the interest rates on the Mortgage
Loans (giving consideration to the cost of refinancing), the rate of prepayment of the Mortgage Loans
would be expected to increase. Conversely, if mortgage interest rates rise materially above the interest
rates on the Mortgage Loans, the rate of prepayment of the Mortgage Loans would be expected to
decrease. There can be no assurance, however, that prepayments will occur in accordance with these
patterns.
Subject to special pooling parameters set forth in the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities
Guide, qualifying federally-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans that exceed certain balance thresholds
established by Ginnie Mae (“high balance mortgage loans”) may be included in Ginnie Mae guaranteed
pools. Borrowers of high balance mortgage loans may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates
Consequently, this increased interest rate sensitivity may translate into heightened prepayment speed
volatility in a market of rising or falling interest rates, as compared to mortgage loans that are not high
balance mortgage loans. No assurances can be given about the prepayment experience or performance of
the high balance mortgage loans.

6

If the prepayment rate on the Mortgage Loans increases during a period of declining interest
rates, investors may receive increased principal distributions at a time when those investors are unable to
reinvest at interest rates as favorable as the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
If the prepayment rate on the Mortgage Loans decreases during a period of rising interest rates, investors
may receive declining principal distributions when those investors otherwise may have been able to
reinvest at higher interest rates than the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.

Payment Delay
Distributions of interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on any Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date will include interest accrued thereon through the last day of the month preceding the month
in which such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date occurs. The effective yield to the Holders will be
lower than the yield otherwise produced by the applicable Interest Rate and purchase price because
interest will not be distributed on Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment Date of the month following the month in which such interest accrues on the MBS
Assets, and interest will not be distributed on Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the
Business Day after the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date.
Assumability of Government Loans
All Government Loans may be assumed upon the sale of the related mortgaged property, subject
generally to the purchaser’s compliance with certain then-existing credit requirements and underwriting
guidelines. The Weighted Average Lives of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates may be increased to
the extent that the Mortgage Loans are assumed by purchasers of the Mortgaged Properties in connection
with the sales of such Mortgaged Properties.
THE SERIES TRUST FUNDS
General
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be issued by a trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust”), a limited purpose trust created to hold MBS Assets and issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
representing beneficial ownership of specified pools of such MBS Assets (each a “Series Trust Fund”).
BNY Mellon has been appointed the trustee of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee”) by the Depositors. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will represent an undivided beneficial
ownership in a Series Trust Fund consisting of whole or partial interests in two or more previously issued
Ginnie Mae Certificates, contributed by a Depositor that arranged for the creation of the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities. Each of the Ginnie Mae Certificates underlying a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will
be identified in the Offering Circular Supplement.
Amendment
Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
(with Ginnie Mae’s consent) may amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement for any purpose,
without the consent of any Holder. The Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may not
amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, however, if the effect of that amendment would be to
alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of principal or interest (including distributions
made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty) to any Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute
suit for the enforcement of any payment, without the consent of each affected Holder.

7

The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will issue a single Ginnie Mae Platinum P O Bond in
connection with each Series Trust Fund to pay for certain expenses and fees incurred in connection with
establishing such Series Trust Fund. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be a non-recourse debt
obligation of the related Series Trust Fund. The initial principal balance of each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO
Bond will be $1,000. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will receive its proportion of payments of the
principal amount of the MBS Assets in the related Series Trust Fund but will not receive payments of
interest. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be initially placed privately with the Administrator.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice to Ginnie Mae.
Upon notice of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee’s resignation, Ginnie Mae will appoint a successor
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. Ginnie Mae also may remove the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appoint a successor if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee breaches its obligations under the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement, if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement or if the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trustee becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged a bankrupt or becomes insolvent, or a
receiver for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property is appointed, or any public officer takes
control of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation of that property. Any resignation or removal of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appointment of a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will become effective only upon the acceptance
of the appointment by a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee Fee”), payable monthly, out of interest received on the underlying MBS Assets, which fee equals
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Interest Rate of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates,
(b) $1,000 and (c) the Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor as of the immediately preceding Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date. The payment of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee Fee will not reduce the amount
distributable to the Holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

Termination
With respect to each Series Trust Fund, the pooling arrangement may be terminated at any time
prior to the final maturity date of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Series; provided that the Holders of
each outstanding Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Series have consented to
such termination and all conditions for termination specified in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide have been
satisfied. Upon formal notification with satisfactory evidence that all parties to the termination agreement
have concurred and that the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond has been retired, and return of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates to Ginnie Mae for cancellation, the guaranty will be terminated and the MBS
Assets shall be delivered to such Holders.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of certain anticipated material United States federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. The summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and decisions now in effect, all of
which are subject to change. The discussion does not purport to address investors in special tax
situations, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships, insurance companies,
regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, persons holding Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a straddle, conversion
8

transaction, or other integrated transaction, or investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
The discussion addresses solely investors who will purchase the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at
original issuance and hold the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates as “capital assets” (generally, property
held for investment) within the meaning of section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Finally, the summary does not purport to address the anticipated state, local or foreign
income tax consequences to investors of owning and disposing of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Consequently, investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the state, local,
foreign, and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Investors who own an interest in a beneficial owner of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates that is
treated as a pass-through entity under the Code will generally receive the same tax treatment, with respect
to the material tax consequences of their indirect ownership of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, as
described herein for direct owners with the same tax status. Nonetheless, such persons should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
General. The United States federal income tax aspects of certain types of mortgage-backed
securities, such as the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, are described in Revenue Ruling 70-544, 1970-2
C.B.6, Revenue Ruling 70-545, 1970-2 C.B.7 and Revenue Ruling 74-169, 1974-1 C.B. 147. As
described in those rulings, a beneficial owner generally will be treated as owning a pro rata undivided
interest in each of the MBS Assets included in the Series Trust Fund. Accordingly, each beneficial owner
will be required to include in income its pro rata share of the gross income from such MBS Assets,
including interest and original issue discount (without reduction for servicing fees, to the extent those fees
represent reasonable compensation for services), if any. The income generally must be reported in the
same manner and at the same time as it would have been reported had the beneficial owner held such
MBS Assets directly.
A beneficial owner generally will be entitled to deduct its pro rata share of servicing fees, to the
extent those fees represent reasonable compensation for services. Nevertheless, an individual, trust or
estate that holds a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate directly or through a pass-through entity (e.g., a
partnership) must treat such fees as miscellaneous itemized deductions, which are deductible only to a
limited extent in computing taxable income and which are not deductible in computing alternative
minimum taxable income.
Certain Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets may be issued with original issue discount
within the meaning of section 12 73(a) of the Code. A beneficial owner generally must include original
issue discount that exceeds a de minimis amount in ordinary income for United States federal income tax
purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method that takes into account the
compounding of interest, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to such income. Original issue
discount may arise, for example, as a result of points charged at the time of origination of the Mortgage
Loan or as a result of an initial incentive rate. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the appropriate method for reporting income, original issue discount and expenses with respect to the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
If any investors are treated as acquiring their Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at a discount or
premium, such investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of such discount or
premium.
Classification. It is expected that the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“loans.. secured by an interest in real property which is.. residential real property “ within the meaning
9

of Code section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v), “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code section 856(c)(4)(A)
and an “obligation (including any participation or certificate of beneficial ownership therein) which is
principally secured by an interest in real property “ within the meaning of Code section 860G(a)(3)(A). It
is also expected that interest income from the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property” within the meaning of Code section
856(c)(3)(B).
Withholding Tax. Generally, interest, including original issue discount, received by a foreign
person not engaged in a trade or business within the United States is subject to withholding at a rate of
30% of the amount thereof. The Code, however, provides an exception for interest, including original
issue discount, that constitutes “portfolio interest,” which is exempt from withholding tax. Subject to
recent legislation discussed below, interest, including original issue discount, paid on the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates generally will be treated as portfolio interest and, therefore will not be subject to
withholding tax, provided that the beneficial owner properly certifies to the withholding agent the
beneficial owner’s status as a foreign person and provided that (i) such interest is not effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States of the beneficial owner and
(ii) such foreign person is not a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code section
871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C).
Foreign investors that beneficially own Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates should be aware that
under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”), a 30% withholding tax is imposed on
certain payments, including interest payments in respect of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and,
beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds, including the return of principal, from the sale, exchange
or other disposition of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, made to “foreign financial institutions” and
certain other foreign financial entities that fail to comply with the FATCA requirements. Foreign
investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to their Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates, including the possible application of certain grandfathering exceptions.
Disposition of a Security. Upon the sale of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, the beneficial
owner generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the
sale and the beneficial owner’s adjusted basis in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. The adjusted basis
of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate generally will equal the cost of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate
to the beneficial owner, increased by any amounts of original issue discount previously included in the
beneficial owner’s gross income with respect to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, and reduced by the
payments on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate previously received by the beneficial owner. Any such
gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, except (i) as provided in Code section 5 82(c) (which
generally applies to banks) or (ii) to the extent any gain represents original issue discount not previously
included in income (to which extent such gain would be treated as ordinary income). Any capital gain (or
loss) will be long-term capital gain (or loss) if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate is held as a capital
asset for more than one year. The ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

PLATINUM CERTIFICATE.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN ADVISORS REGARDING

AVAILABLE INFORMATION
BNY Mellon will act as Administrator for the Series Trust Fund created in connection with the
issuance of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series. Upon the issuance of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates,
investors can access data specific to the MBS Assets and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in
electronic form on the disclosure section of Ginnie Mae’s website or by calling (800) 234-GNMA. The
Administrator will calculate the current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series as described in “Description of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates-Monthly Payments” in the
Base Offering Circular. Current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors will be available to investors each month,
beginning in the month after the month of issuance.

Ginnie Mae Certificate Information
The issuers of the underlying MBS Assets, collectively, are the institutions that are identified i n
the records of Ginnie Mae and the Administrator as issuers of the within referred MBS Assets (each, a
“Ginnie Mae Issuer”). None of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is responsible for any act or omission of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Issuer or the Administrator in connection with this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate. The undivided proportional beneficial interest in the Series Trust Fund consisting of the
underlying MBS Assets, which each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate represents, relates to all of the MBS
Assets in the Series Trust Fund and not solely to any one of the Ginnie Mae Certificates. While each of
the Ginnie Mae Issuers has undertaken to service and perform other functions with respect to the Ginnie
Mae MBS Certificates originated by the respective Ginnie Mae Issuer, none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for performing such functions with respect to the other Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates issued
by any other Ginnie Mae Issuers. No joint venture, partnership or other association is intended to be
formed among the Ginnie Mae Issuers or any other parties, and none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for any acts or omissions of any other Ginnie Mae Issuers.
The pool number of each Ginnie Mae Certificate included in the Series Trust Fund referred to
within, and the percentage of the Ginnie Mae Certificate owned by the Series Trust Fund, are as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF THE GINNIE MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATES
General
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. The full faith and credit of the United States of America stands behind each Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty. Pursuant to the Seventh Amendment and Restatement as of October 1, 2011 of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1994, among The Bank of New York
Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) successor in interest to The Bank of New York, as Administrator and as Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee, the Initial Depositor and each of the Depositors, as it may be supplemented and
amended from time to time, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will issue each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
Forms of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates; Book-Entry Procedures
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate initially will be issued and maintained in Book-Entry Form
through the book-entry system of the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks (the “Fedwire Book-Entry System”).
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series initially will be represented by one or more certificates
registered in the name of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (together with any successor or other
depository selected by Ginnie Mae, the “Depository”). This Base Offering Circular refers to those whose
names appear on the Register as registered holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (which will
include the Depository’s nominee, MBSCC & Co., and any registered holders of Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates) as “Holders” of those Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
The Fedwire Book-Entry System is an electronic facility operated by the U.S. Federal Reserve
Banks for maintaining securities accounts and for effecting transfers. The Fed wire Book-Entry system is
a real-time, delivery-versus-payment, gross settlement system that allows for the simultaneous transfer of
securities against payment. The Fedwire Book-Entry System is used to clear, settle and pay not only
Ginnie Mae Securities, but also all U.S. Treasury marketable debt instruments, the majority of book-entry
securities issued by other government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and the mortgagebacked securities issued by the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Beneficial ownership of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Security will be subject to the rules
and procedures governing the Depository and its participants as in effect from time to time. The
Depository will maintain evidence of the interests of its participants in any Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates by appropriate entries in the Depository’s books and records. Only participants of
the Fedwire Book-Entry System are eligible to maintain book-entry accounts directly with the Depository.
A Beneficial Owner that is not a participant of the Fedwire Book-Entry system generally will evidence its
interest in a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate by appropriate entries in the books and records
of one or more financial intermediaries, including a Depository participant. A Beneficial Owner of a
Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate must rely upon these procedures to evidence its beneficial
ownership, and may transfer its beneficial ownership only if it complies with the procedures of the
appropriate financial intermediaries. Correspondingly, a Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate must depend upon its financial intermediaries (including the Depository, as Holder)
to enforce its rights with respect to a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate.
The Administrator will authenticate the certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on behalf
of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be freely transferable
and exchangeable at the offices of the Administrator in New York, New York. The Administrator may
impose a service charge upon Holders for any registration of exchange or transfer of Certificated Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates, and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge incurred in connection with any transfer.

1

Minimum Denominations
Each Series Trust Fund will issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in minimum dollar
denominations representing initial principal balances of $1,000 and multiples of $1 in excess of $1,000.

Monthly Payments
Each month, the Administrator shall calculate the amount of principal and interest distributable
on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (the “Payment Amount”). The Payment Amount for each Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date will equal (a) the sum of principal and
interest payable on the underlying MBS Assets less (b) amounts payable to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement and amounts payable on the related Ginnie
Mae Platinum PO Bond. The Administrator will determine the amount of principal expected to be
received on the MBS Assets during that month on the basis of Certificate Factors for those Ginnie Mae
Certificates on the seventh Business Day of the month in the case of Ginnie Mae II Certificates.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series is the factor (carried to
eight decimal places) that may be multiplied by the Original Principal Balance of the related Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series to determine the Principal Balance of that Ginnie Mae Platinum Series after giving effect
to the distributions of principal to be made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and payments to be
made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date. The
Administrator will cause the Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors to be included in the monthly factor tape
relating to the MBS Assets.
For any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, investors can calculate the amount of principal to be
distributed on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by multiplying the Original Principal Balance of that
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by the difference between its Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors for the preceding
and current months. The amount of interest to be distributable on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series on
each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date will equal 30 days’ interest at the Interest Rate for that Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series on its Principal Balance as determined by its Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for the
preceding month.
The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date” for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be the
day of each month on which payment is to be made by the Depository to the beneficial owners of the
underlying Ginnie Mae Certificates that are in Book-Entry Form, in accordance with the established rules
and procedures of the Depository, as in effect from time to time. The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date” shall be with respect to distributions or payments on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security,
the Business Day following the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date for Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities.

Method of Payments
Distributions of principal and interest on a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will be made on each
Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (or, with respect to Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities, the
Business Day following the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date) to the Persons in whose names the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are registered on the related Record Date.
The Administrator will make distributions of principal and interest on any Book-Entry Ginnie
Mae Platinum Security to the Depository, and Beneficial Owners will receive distributions through
credits to accounts maintained on the books and records of appropriate financial intermediaries (including
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as Holder) for the benefit of those Beneficial Owners.

2

The Administrator will make each distribution on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security on
the Business Day following each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (a) by check mailed to the Holder
at the Holder’s address as it appears in the applicable Register on the applicable Record Date or (b) upon
receipt by the Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date, to the account of the Holder thereof, if the Holder holds Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates of a
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series in an initial aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in retirement of any Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate at the Administrator’s offices in New York, New York.
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION

The Government National Mortgage Association is a wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of
the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Section 306(g) of Title III
of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended (the “Housing Act”), authorizes Ginnie Mae to
guarantee the timely payment of the principal of, and interest on, certificates or securities that are based
on and backed by a pool of mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration
under the Housing Act (each, an “FHA Loan”) or by the Rural Housing Service, formerly the Farmers
Home Administration, under Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 (each, a “RHS Loan”), or by the
Department of Veterans Affairs under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended, or
Chapter 37 of Title 38, United States Code (each, a “VA Loan” and, together with FHA Loans and RHS
Loans, “Government Loans”).
Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act provides that “the full faith and credit of the United
States is pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required to be paid under any guaranty
under this subsection.” To meet its obligations under its guaranties, Ginnie Mae is authorized, under
Section 306(d) of the National Housing Act, to borrow from the United States Treasury with no
limitations as to amount.
GINNIE MAE PLATINUM GUARANTY
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of interest and principal on each Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series (in accordance with the terms of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series as specified in the related
Offering Circular Supplement). The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States of America. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty will be set forth on the Certificated
Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities.
THE MBS ASSETS

General
Each MBS Asset included in a Series Trust Fund will be either (i) a “fully -modified passthrough” mortgage-backed certificate (a “Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate”) issued and serviced by a
mortgage banking company or other financial concern approved by Ginnie Mae (a “Ginnie Mae Issuer”)
or (ii) a previously issued Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate (together, with Ginnie Mae MB S Certificates,
“Ginnie Mae Certificates”).
With respect to each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, a Depositor, pursuant to a Deposit Agreement,
will transfer to the Series Trust Fund the MBS Assets with underlying Mortgage Loans that are secured
by first liens on single-family residential properties, including condominiums (“Mortgaged Properties”).

3

The Depositor will represent and warrant in the Deposit Agreement that the information set forth
therein, including the principal balance and Certificate Rate for each Ginnie Mae Certificate as of the
Issuance Date, is true and correct as of such date.
The Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets will consist of Government Loans secured by
mortgage loans on residential properties, including level payment mortgage loans and “buy down”
mortgage loans. All Mortgage Loans underlying a particular Ginnie Mae Certificate must be of the same
type (for example, all level payment single family mortgages) and have an adjustable annual interest rate.
Ginnie Mae will have guaranteed each Ginnie Mae Certificate included in a Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series in accordance with a guaranty agreement (a “Certificate Guaranty Agreement”) between Ginnie
Mae and the Ginnie Mae Issuer. Pursuant to its Certificate Guaranty Agreement, a Ginnie Mae Issuer
will be required to advance its own funds in order to make timely payments of all amounts due on each of
those Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, even if the payments received by the Ginnie Mae Issuer on the
Government Loans underlying a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate are less than the amounts due on that
Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate.

Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal of and interest on each Ginnie Mae
Certificate securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, and this obligation is backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States. Each Ginnie Mae Certificate will have an original maturity of not more than
30 years and will be based on and backed by a pool of Government Loans. The registered holder of a
Ginnie Mae Certificate will receive monthly payments of principal and interest equal to the aggregate
amount of the scheduled monthly principal and interest payments on the Government Loans underlying
that Ginnie Mae Certificate, less in the case of a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate, applicable servicing and
guaranty fees totaling between 0.250% and 1.250% per annum of the outstanding principal balance. In
addition, payments on a Ginnie Mae Certificate will include any prepayments and other unscheduled
recoveries of principal of the Government Loans underlying that Ginnie Mae Certificate.
In the case of Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, each Ginnie Mae Issuer will perform the routine
functions required for servicing of Government Loans for which it is responsible, including mortgagor
billings, receipt and posting of payments, payment of property taxes and hazard insurance premiums,
remittance, collections and customer service. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer will be obligated under its
Certificate Guaranty Agreements with Ginnie Mae to service the pooled Government Loans in
accordance with FHA, RH S and VA requirements and with generally accepted practices in the mortgage
lending industry. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer’s responsibilities with respect to the pooled Government Loans
will include collection of all principal and interest payments and payments made by borrowers toward
escrows established for taxes and insurance premiums; maintenance of necessary hazard insurance
policies; institution of all actions necessary to foreclose on, or take other appropriate action with respect
to, loans in default; and collection of insurance and guaranty benefits.
The Depository or its nominee, as registered holder (on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee) of the MBS Assets securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, has the right to proceed directly
against Ginnie Mae under the terms of the Ginnie Mae Certificate for any amounts that are not paid when
due.

Ginnie Mae II Certificates
The MBS Assets for each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series described herein are composed entirely of
adjustable rate mortgage pools formed pursuant to the Ginnie Mae II MBS Program.
Under the Ginnie Mae II Program, mortgage pools may be formed by aggregating packages of
current adjustable rate mortgage loans submitted by more than one Ginnie Mae Issuer for a particular

4

issue date and pass-through rate. The resulting pool, which backs a single issue of Ginnie Mae II MBS
Certificates, is marketed and administered by each participating Ginnie Mae Issuer to the extent of the
mortgage loans contributed by it to the pool. Each Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate issued under a
multiple issuer pool, however, is backed by a proportionate interest in the entire pool (and not just the
mortgage loans contributed to the pool by any one Ginnie Mae Issuer). Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates
may also be backed by a custom pool of current adjustable rate mortgage loans formed by a single Ginnie
Mae Issuer. Payments of principal and interest are made to holders of Ginnie Mae II Certificates on the
20th of each month (or the first Business Day thereafter).
The adjustable rate mortgage loans underlying any particular Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate will
have interest rates that adjust annually based on the One-Year Treasury Index or the twelve-month
Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable. Ginnie Mae pooling specifications require that all adjustable rate
mortgage loans in a given pool have an identical first interest adjustment date, annual interest adjustment
date, first payment adjustment date, annual payment adjustment date, index reference date and means of
adjustment. With respect to mortgage loans underlying Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates issued prior to
July 1, 2003, the mortgage loans must have initial interest rates that are at least 0.50% but not more than
1.50% per annum above the interest rate of the related Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate. In addition, the
mortgage loan margin with respect to those mortgage loans must be at least 0.50% but not more than
1.50% per annum greater than the margin for the related Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate. With respect to
mortgage loans underlying Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate issued on or after July 1, 2003, the mortgage
loans must have initial interest rates that are at least 0.25% but not more than 0.75% per annum above the
interest rate of the related Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate. In addition, the mortgage margin with respect
to those mortgage loans must be at least 0.25% but not more than 0.75% per annum greater than the
margin for the related Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificate. Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates and the related
mortgage loans will be subject to an annual adjustment cap of 1.00% per annum above or below the
interest rate being adjusted and a lifetime cap of 5.00% per annum above or below the initial interest rate;
provided however, that with respect to Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates issued on or after October 1, 2003
and backed by 7-year and 10-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages, these Ginnie Mae II MBS
Certificates and the related mortgage loans will be subject to an annual adjustment cap of 2.00% per
annum above or below the interest rate being adjusted and a lifetime cap of 6.00% per annum above or
below the initial interest rate. Thirty days after each annual interest adjustment date, the payment amount
of an adjustable rate mortgage loan will be reset so that the remaining principal balance of that mortgage
loan would fully amortize in equal monthly payments over its remaining term to maturity, assuming its
interest rate were to remain constant at the new rate.
Mortgage Loans with Interest Rates formerly based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"). Representative publication of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") ended on June
30, 2023. Any LIBOR-based interest rate for adjustable rate mortgage loans underlying Ginnie Mae II
Certificates will be converted at the first contractual reset date for such mortgage loan after June 30, 2023,
to the corresponding tenor of CME Term SOFR plus the applicable spread adjustment specified in the
Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act ("Adjusted CME Term SOFR"), as published by Refinitiv
Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (or any successor administrator, "Refinitiv"). Refinitiv's "all in," no
floor" USD IBOR Consumer Cash Fallback rates will reflect the one-year transition of the spread
adjustment mandated for consumer assets under the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the "LIBOR
Act"). The Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates backed by such mortgage loans will convert at the same time
to the corresponding tenor of Adjusted CME Term SOFR, but with the spread adjustment applicable
under the LIBOR Act for commercial assets. The implementation of the spread adjustment for consumer
assets has a one-year transition period intended to benefit consumers while the implementation of the
spread adjustment for commercial assets does not. After the one year transition period, the applicable
spread adjustment on the mortgage loans and the Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates will be the same.

The VA Loan Program
The VA is an Executive Branch Department of the United States, headed by the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs. VA currently administers a variety of federal assistance programs on behalf of eligible
veterans and their dependents and beneficiaries. VA administers a loan guaranty program pursuant to
which VA guarantees a portion of loans made to eligible veterans.
Under the VA loan guaranty program, a VA Loan may be made to any eligible veteran by an
approved private sector mortgage lender. VA guarantees payment to the holder of that loan of a fixed
percentage of the loan indebtedness, up to a maximum dollar amount, in the event of default by the
veteran borrower. When a delinquency is reported to VA and no realistic alternative to foreclosure is
developed by the loan holder or through VA’s supplemental servicing of the loan, VA determines,
through an economic analysis, whether VA will (a) authorize the holder to convey the property securing
the VA Loan to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs following termination or (b) pay the loan guaranty
amount to the holder. The decision as to disposition of properties securing defaulted VA Loans is made
on a case-by-case basis using the procedures set forth in 38 U.S.C. Section 3732(c), as amended.

The FHA Loan Program
The FHA, an organizational unit within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was
established to encourage improvement in housing standards and conditions, to provide an adequate home
financing system by insurance of housing mortgages and credit and to exert a stabilizing influence on the
mortgage market. FHA provides insurance for lenders against loss on eligible mortgages.
Under the FHA mortgage insurance program, an FHA home mortgage may be made to borrowers
meeting certain credit standards by an approved mortgage lender. FHA insures payment to the holder of
that loan in the event of default by the borrower. Upon default, the lender, depending on the
circumstances, may (a) assign the mortgage to FHA; (b) acquire title (through foreclosure or deed in lieu
of foreclosure) and convey title to FHA; or (c) work with the borrower to sell the property before the
foreclosure sale. The lender will receive insurance benefits equal to the unpaid principal balance of the
loan, plus approved expenses.

The RD Loan Program
The RD, formerly the Rural Housing Service, is a division of the Department of Agriculture,
authorized to insure loans made by private sector mortgage lenders to low and moderate-income rural
families in an amount equal to 90 percent of the loan. A small percentage of Ginnie Mae Certificates are
backed by RD-insured loans.
YIELD, MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
The prepayment experience of the Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets will affect the
Weighted Average Life of and the yield realized by investors in the related Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. Mortgagors may voluntarily prepay their Mortgage Loans in full or in part at any time
without penalty. The rate of principal payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and
payments of certain other amounts resulting from defaults) on the Mortgage Loans generally depends on a
variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors, including prevailing market interest rates and
general economic factors. The rate of prepayments on conventional mortgage loans has fluctuated
significantly in recent years. There is no assurance, however, that prepayment patterns for the Mortgage
Loans will conform to patterns for more traditional types of conventional adjustable rate mortgage loans.

6

In general, if prevailing mortgage interest rates fall materially below the interest rates on the Mortgage
Loans (giving consideration to the cost of refinancing), the rate of prepayment of the Mortgage Loans
would be expected to increase. Conversely, if mortgage interest rates rise materially above the interest
rates on the Mortgage Loans, the rate of prepayment of the Mortgage Loans would be expected to
decrease. There can be no assurance, however, that prepayments will occur in accordance with these
patterns.
If the prepayment rate on the Mortgage Loans increases during a period of declining interest
rates, investors may receive increased principal distributions at a time when those investors are unable to
reinvest at interest rates as favorable as the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
If the prepayment rate on the Mortgage Loans decreases during a period of rising interest rates, investors
may receive declining principal distributions when those investors otherwise may have been able to
reinvest at higher interest rates than the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
Payment Delay
Distributions of interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on any Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date will include interest accrued thereon through the last day of the month preceding the month
in which such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date occurs. The effective yield to the Holders will be
lower than the yield otherwise produced by the applicable Interest Rate and purchase price because
interest will not be distributed on Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment Date of the month following the month in which such interest accrues on the MBS
Assets, and interest will not be distributed on Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the
Business Day after the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date.
Assumability of Government Loans
All Government Loans may be assumed upon the sale of the related mortgaged property, subject
generally to the purchaser’s compliance with certain then-existing credit requirements and underwriting
guidelines. The Weighted Average Lives of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates may be increased to
the extent that the Mortgage Loans are assumed by purchasers of the Mortgaged Properties in connection
with the sales of such Mortgaged Properties.
THE SERIES TRUST FUNDS

General
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be issued by a trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust”), a limited purpose trust created to hold MBS Assets and issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
representing beneficial ownership of specified pools of such MBS Assets (each a “Series Trust Fund”).
BNY Mellon has been appointed the trustee of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee”) by the Depositors. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will represent an undivided beneficial
ownership in a Series Trust Fund consisting of whole or partial interests in two or more previously issued
Ginnie Mae Certificates, contributed by a Depositor that arranged for the creation of the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities. Each of the Ginnie Mae Certificates underlying a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will
be identified in the Offering Circular Supplement.

Amendment
Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
(with Ginnie Mae’s consent) may amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement for any purpose,
without the consent of any Holder. The Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may not

7

amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, however, if the effect of that amendment would be to
alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of principal or interest (including distributions
made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty) to any Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute
suit for the enforcement of any payment, without the consent of each affected Holder.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will issue a single Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond in
connection with each Series Trust Fund to pay for certain expenses and fees incurred in connection with
establishing such Series Trust Fund. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be a non-recourse debt
obligation of the related Series Trust Fund. The initial principal balance of each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO
Bond will be $1,000. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will receive its proportion of payments of the
principal amount of the MBS Assets in the related Series Trust Fund but will not receive payments of
interest. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be initially placed privately with the Administrator.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice to Ginnie Mae.
Upon notice of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee’s resignation, Ginnie Mae will appoint a successor
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. Ginnie Mae also may remove the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appoint a successor if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee breaches its obligations under the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trust Agreement, if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement or if the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trustee becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged a bankrupt or becomes insolvent, or a
receiver for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property is appointed, or any public officer takes
control of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation of that property. Any resignation or removal of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appointment of a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will become effective only upon the acceptance
of the appointment by a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee Fee”), payable monthly, out of interest received on the underlying MBS Assets, which fee equals
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the related Interest Rate of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates,
(b) $1,000 and (c) the Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor as of the immediately preceding Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date. The payment of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee Fee will not reduce the amount
distributable to the Holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

Termination
With respect to each Series Trust Fund, the pooling arrangement may be terminated at any time
prior to the final maturity date of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Series; provided that the Holders of
each outstanding Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Series have consented to
such termination and all conditions for termination specified in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide have been
satisfied. Upon formal notification with satisfactory evidence that all parties to the termination agreement
have concurred and that the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond has been retired, and return of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates to Ginnie Mae for cancellation, the guaranty will be terminated and the MBS
Assets shall be delivered to such Holders.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of certain anticipated material United States federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Ginnie Mae Platinum

8

Certificates. The summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and decisions now in effect, all of
which are subject to change. The discussion does not purport to address investors in special tax
situations, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships, insurance companies,
regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, persons holding Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a straddle, conversion
transaction, or other integrated transaction, or investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
The discussion addresses solely investors who will purchase the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at
original issuance and hold the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates as “capital assets” (generally, property
held for investment) within the meaning of section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Finally, the summary does not purport to address the anticipated state, local or foreign
income tax consequences to investors of owning and disposing of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Consequently, investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the state, local,
foreign, and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Investors who own an interest in a beneficial owner of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates that is
treated as a pass-through entity under the Code will generally receive the same tax treatment, with respect
to the material tax consequences of their indirect ownership of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, as
described herein for direct owners with the same tax status. Nonetheless, such persons should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
General. The United States federal income tax aspects of certain types of mortgage-backed
securities, such as the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, are described in Revenue Ruling 70-544, 1970-2
C.B.6, Revenue Ruling 70-545, 1970-2 C.B.7 and Revenue Ruling 74-169, 1974-1 C.B. 147. As
described in those rulings, a beneficial owner generally will be treated as owning a pro rata undivided
interest in each of the MBS Assets included in the Series Trust Fund. Accordingly, each beneficial owner
will be required to include in income its pro rata share of the gross income from such MBS Assets,
including interest and original issue discount (without reduction for servicing fees, to the extent those fees
represent reasonable compensation for services), if any. The income generally must be reported in the
same manner and at the same time as it would have been reported had the beneficial owner held such
MBS Assets directly.
A beneficial owner generally will be entitled to deduct its pro rata share of servicing fees, to the
extent those fees represent reasonable compensation for services. Nevertheless, an individual, trust or
estate that holds a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate directly or through a pass-through entity (e.g., a
partnership) must treat such fees as miscellaneous itemized deductions, which are deductible only to a
limited extent in computing taxable income and which are not deductible in computing alternative
minimum taxable income.
Certain Mortgage Loans underlying the MBS Assets may be issued with original issue discount
within the meaning of section 12 73(a) of the Code. A beneficial owner generally must include original
issue discount that exceeds a de minimis amount in ordinary income for United States federal income tax
purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method that takes into account the
compounding of interest, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to such income. Original issue
discount may arise, for example, as a result of points charged at the time of origination of the Mortgage
Loan or as a result of an initial incentive rate. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the appropriate method for reporting income, original issue discount and expenses with respect to the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.

9

If any investors are treated as acquiring their Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at a discount or
premium, such investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of such discount or
premium.
Classification. It is expected that the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“loans.. secured by an interest in real property which is.. residential real property “ within the meaning
of Code section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v), “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code section 856(c)(4)(A)
and an “obligation (including any participation or certificate of beneficial ownership therein) which is
principally secured by an interest in real property “ within the meaning of Code section 860G(a)(3)(A). It
is also expected that interest income from the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property” within the meaning of Code section
856(c)(3)(B).
Withholding Tax. Generally, interest, including original issue discount, received by a foreign
person not engaged in a trade or business within the United States is subject to withholding at a rate of
30% of the amount thereof. The Code, however, provides an exception for interest, including original
issue discount, that constitutes “portfolio interest,” which is exempt from withholding tax. Subject to
recent legislation discussed below, interest, including original issue discount, paid on the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates generally will be treated as portfolio interest and, therefore will not be subject to
withholding tax, provided that the beneficial owner properly certifies to the withholding agent the
beneficial owner’s status as a foreign person and provided that (i) such interest is not effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States of the beneficial owner and
(ii) such foreign person is not a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code section
871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C).
Foreign investors that beneficially own Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates should be aware that
under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”), a 30% withholding tax is imposed on
certain payments, including interest payments in respect of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and,
beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds, including the return of principal, from the sale, exchange
or other disposition of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, made to “foreign financial institutions” and
certain other foreign financial entities that fail to comply with the FATCA requirements. Foreign
investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to their Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates, including the possible application of certain grandfathering exceptions.
Disposition of a Security. Upon the sale of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, the beneficial
owner generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the
sale and the beneficial owner’s adjusted basis in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. The adjusted basis
of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate generally will equal the cost of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate
to the beneficial owner, increased by any amounts of original issue discount previously included in the
beneficial owner’s gross income with respect to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, and reduced by the
payments on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate previously received by the beneficial owner. Any such
gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, except (i) as provided in Code section 5 82(c) (which
generally applies to banks) or (ii) to the extent any gain represents original issue discount not previously
included in income (to which extent such gain would be treated as ordinary income). Any capital gain (or
loss) will be long-term capital gain (or loss) if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate is held as a capital
asset for more than one year. The ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION
BNY Mellon will act as Administrator for the Series Trust Fund created in connection with the
issuance of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series. Upon the issuance of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates,
investors can access data specific to the MBS Assets and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in
electronic form on the disclosure section of Ginnie Mae’s website or by calling (800) 234-GNMA. The
Administrator will calculate the current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series as described in “Description of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates-Monthly Payments” in the
Base Offering Circular. Current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors will be available to investors each month,
beginning in the month after the month of issuance.
Ginnie Mae Certificate Information
The issuers of the underlying MBS Assets, collectively, are the institutions that are identified in
the records of Ginnie Mae and the Administrator as issuers of the within referred MBS Assets (each, a
“Ginnie Mae Issuer”). None of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is responsible for any act or omission of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Issuer or the Administrator in connection with this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate. The undivided proportional beneficial interest in the Series Trust Fund consisting of the
underlying MBS Assets, which each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate represents, relates to all of the MBS
Assets in the Series Trust Fund and not solely to any one of the Ginnie Mae Certificates. While each of
the Ginnie Mae Issuers has undertaken to service and perform other functions with respect to the Ginnie
Mae MBS Certificates originated by the respective Ginnie Mae Issuer, none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for performing such functions with respect to the other Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates issued
by any other Ginnie Mae Issuers. No joint venture, partnership or other association is intended to be
formed among the Ginnie Mae Issuers or any other parties, and none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for any acts or omissions of any other Ginnie Mae Issuers.
The pool number of each Ginnie Mae Certificate included in the Series Trust Fund referred to
within, and the percentage of the Ginnie Mae Certificate owned by the Series Trust Fund, are as follows:

Base Offering Circular

Government National Mortgage Association
GINNIE MAE
Guaranteed Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
(Issuable in Series)
(Home Equity Conversion Mortgages)

The Government National Mortgage Association Guaranteed Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
(the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates”), which will be sold from time to time in one or more series
(each, a “Ginnie Mae Platinum Series”), represent undivided ownership interests in Series Trust Funds
(each, a “Series Trust Fund”) established from time to time. The Government National Mortgage
Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a wholly -owned corporate instrumentality of the United States of America
within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, guarantees the timely payment of principal
and interest on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty”). The Ginnie
Mae Platinum Guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will evidence an interest in future principal and interest
payments on the MBS Assets in the related Series Trust Fund. Each Series Trust Fund will be comprised
primarily of (i) “fully modified pass-through” mortgage-backed certificates as to which Ginnie Mae has
guaranteed the timely payment of principal and interest pursuant to the Ginnie Mae II Program (each, a
“Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate”) or (ii) previously issued Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (together with
the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, the “Ginnie Mae Certificates”). The MBS Assets are based on or
backed by participation interests in advances made to borrowers and related amounts (each, a
“Participation”) in respect of home equity conversion mortgage loans (each, a “HECM”), also commonly
referred to as “reverse mortgage loans,” insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). See
“The MBS Assets.” The terms of each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series and information relating to the
underlying MBS Assets will be set forth in an Offering Circular Supplement.

The Weighted Average Life of each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series may be affected by the rate of
payments of principal (including, without limitation, prepayments and payments of certain other amounts
resulting from defaults) in respect of any HECMs related to the Participations underlying the related MBS
Assets and the timing of receipt of those payments. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty of timely
payment of principal and interest is not a guarantee of the Weighted Average Life of a Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series or of any particular rate of principal prepayments.

RISK FACTORS
You should purchase the securities only if you understand and are able to bear the associated
risks. The risks applicable to your investment depend on the payment characteristics of the underlying
MBS Assets and factors that may affect such characteristics over time. This section highlights certain of
these risks.
It is uncertain when payments will be made on your securities. Payment of the outstanding
principal amount, including accrued interest, on the securities is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. The timing of
any payment of principal and interest, however, is uncertain. Payments of principal and interest will be
made on the securities only when and to the extent a payment is made on the underlying MBS Assets to
which the securities relate. Payments of principal and interest will be made on underlying Ginnie Mae
MBS Certificates only (i) when and to the extent a payment is made on an underlying HECM to which
the certificates relate and/or (ii) upon the purchase of all Participations related to an underlying HECM by
the related Ginnie Mae Issuer of the certificates to the extent of the release price.
In general, payments on Participations are made when payments are made on the related HECM.
The amount paid on a Participation is the amount paid on the HECM multiplied by the ratio of the
outstanding principal amount of the Participation to the outstanding principal amount of the related
HECM. In limited circumstances, payments in respect of the Participations may be delayed as a result of
FHA’s senior right to reimbursement for certain amounts advanced to any borrower. See “If a Ginnie
Mae Issuer defaults in its obligation to provide a borrower future advances in respect of a HECM,
investors in securities that are ultimately backed by Participations related to that HECM may receive
payments earlier or later than expected” herein.
No interest or principal is required to be paid on a HECM before it matures. On the other hand, a
borrower under a HECM may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part of amounts owed on the
HECM at any time without penalty before the HECM matures. The borrower or his estate has a nonrecourse obligation to pay amounts due under the HECM only after the occurrence of a Maturity Event
(as defined below).
A Ginnie Mae Issuer is obligated to purchase (such obligation is referred to hereinafter as a
“Mandatory purchase event”) all Participations related to a HECM when the outstanding principal amount
of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the Maximum Claim Amount (as defined below).
Furthermore, a Ginnie Mae Issuer may, at its option, purchase all Participations relating to any HECM
(such option is referred to hereinafter as the “98% Optional purchase event”) to the extent that any
borrower’s request for an additional advance in respect of any HECM, if funded, together with the
outstanding principal amount of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the Maximum
Claim Amount.
In addition, a Ginnie Mae Issuer may, at its option, purchase all Participations relating to a
HECM that becomes, and continues to be, due and payable in accordance with its terms (such option is
referred to hereinafter as a “Due and payable purchase event,” and collectively with the Mandatory
purchase event and the 98% Optional purchase event, a “Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase event”). In
connection with any Due and payable purchase event or any 98% Optional purchase event (each referred
to hereinafter as an “Optional purchase event”) a Ginnie Mae Issuer must purchase all Participations
related to the HECM at the end of its reporting month (as such term is defined in the Ginnie Mae guaranty
agreement).
HECMs generally provide for deferral of a Maturity Event when the last surviving borrower dies
with a non-borrowing spouse who satisfies the FHA qualifying attributes and ongoing requirements for

1

deferral. The deferral of a Maturity Event continues as long as the non-borrowing spouse continues to
satisfy FHA’s qualifying attributes and requirements for deferral. During any deferral period, the HECM
will not be due and payable and the non-borrowing spouse will not have access to future advances in
respect of the HECM. Where a repair rider was a condition of a HECM, during a deferral period, funds
may be disbursed only to the contractor for those repairs identified and completed during the time period
by the rider.
It is uncertain when any amounts might be paid on MBS Assets backed by Participations in
HECMs because it is uncertain (i) whether a HECM borrower will choose to prepay amounts advanced in
whole or in part, (ii) when any Maturity Event might occur and (iii) when any Ginnie Mae Issuer
purchase event might occur.
From time to time FHA and the mortgage industry make changes to the requirements, procedures
and related fees for originating, refinancing and servicing HECMs. Any of these changes may result in
MBS Assets backed by Participations related to HECMs subject to different underwriting or servicing
requirements or procedures. Such changes may impact borrower prepayment, delinquency, refinance and
mortgage insurance claim rates and may influence the decision by a Ginnie Mae Issuer whether to
exercise any Optional purchase event.
The rate of principal payments (including prepayments or partial payments) of the HECMs
relating to the Participations underlying the MBS Assets depends on a variety of economic, geographic,
social, and other factors, including prevailing market interest rates, borrower mortality, qualifying nonborrowing spouse mortality, divorce rates, changes in the value of the mortgaged property, the borrower’s
ability to draw down additional funds without refinancing, FHA guidelines regarding HECMs, servicing
decisions and court imposed limits on the rights and remedies available to the Issuer under the HECM,
and will affect the weighted average lives and the yields realized by investors in the securities. HECMs
may respond differently than traditional forward mortgage loans to the factors that influence prepayment.
HECM borrowers may choose from various payment plans, each of which has different
prepayment characteristics that may affect the weighted average lives and yields of the securities. For
example, line of credit payment plans may experience higher prepayment rates than other payment plans.
To the extent that the HECMs include a large concentration of line of credit HECMs, such HECMs may
experience higher prepayment rates. Higher prepayment rates will reduce, perhaps significantly, the
weighted average lives of the Ginnie Mae Certificates backing the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Reductions in the weighted average lives of the securities will affect the yields on the Ginnie Mae
Certificates backing the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates. HECM borrowers may have the ability to
change to another available payment plan at any time as long as the change complies with the FHA
requirements in effect. See “The MBS Assets” herein.
Any investment in the securities must be based largely upon an investor’s expectation as to the
rate at which Maturity Events will occur, or alternatively, an investor’s expectation regarding the rate of
voluntary prepayment by the related borrower or whether a Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase event will occur.
Each prospective investor is encouraged to study publicly available information from the United States
Census Bureau, medical and scientific journals, life insurance companies, and such other sources as such
prospective investor considers to be reliable as to historical trends and projections of life expectancy,
recent developments and expectations as to future developments in health care for elderly persons,
mobility of elderly households, divorce and remarriage rates, regional differences in availability of health
care, life expectancy and other matters, gender differences with respect to health risks and life expectancy
and such other matters as such investor considers to be material in forming its expectation as to the
occurrence of Maturity Events.

2

Each investor should carefully consider that the actual rate and timing of Maturity Events could
differ significantly from such investor’s expectation. Rapid progress in the health sciences or increased
availability of health care, for example, could prolong the lives of borrowers or postpone relocation of
borrowers into long-term care facilities. The availability of home nursing care could cause borrowers who
would otherwise relocate to remain in their homes, delaying the occurrence of a Maturity Event.
Conversely, other factors such as the absence of borrower health care insurance or required life-sustaining
medical treatments could accelerate the occurrence of a Maturity Event. Considered scientific opinion as
to life expectancy could simply be wrong. In general, the life spans and life expectancy of Americans
have increased over time.
Neither Ginnie Mae nor the Ginnie Mae Issuer has undertaken any investigation of the health of
HECM borrowers or their non-borrowing spouses. It is highly unlikely that a Maturity Event, voluntary
payment by the borrower or any Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase event will occur at any constant rate or at the
same rate at any one time. The timing of changes in the rate of Maturity Events, voluntary prepayment
events or Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase events may affect the actual yield to an investor, even if the average
rate of Maturity Events, voluntary prepayment events or Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase events is consistent
with the investor’s expectation. As a result, the effect on an investor’s yield of the occurrence of Maturity
Events, voluntary prepayment events or Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase events occurring at a rate higher (or
lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during the period immediately following the Issue Date of
the MBS Assets as set forth in the related prospectus supplement is not likely to be offset by a later
equivalent reduction (or increase) in the rate of occurrence of Maturity Events, voluntary prepayment
events or Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase events.
If a Ginnie Mae Issuer defaults in its obligation to provide a borrower future advances in respect
of a HECM, investors in securities that are ultimately backed by Participations related to that HECM
may receive payments earlier or later than expected. In the event a Ginnie Mae Issuer fails to advance
funds to a borrower in accordance with the terms of the related HECM, FHA may advance the funds to
the borrower on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Issuer and FHA will be entitled to reimbursement for any
advances it makes prior to payments being made in respect of previously made advances, including
Participations that may underlie the MBS Assets underlying your securities. If a Maturity Event occurs or
a voluntary prepayment is made by a borrower, FHA’s senior right of reimbursement may delay the
timing of certain payments being made in respect of the Participations underlying the MBS Assets
underlying your securities.
If a Ginnie Mae Issuer were to default in its obligations to Ginnie Mae, it is Ginnie Mae’s
intention to manage the servicing of the HECMs in such a manner as to minimize the likelihood of
investors receiving early payments. However, Ginnie Mae does not make any assurances that there
would not be circumstances resulting from a Ginnie Mae Issuer’s default in its obligations under which
the investors in securities ultimately backed by Participations related to that HECM would receive
payments earlier or later than anticipated.
The yield to maturity of the securities will be adversely affected to the extent the mortgage
interest rate for any adjustable rate HECM is subject to limitations on interest rate adjustments. Each
adjustable rate HECM related to a specific pool of Participations will have the same index and will adjust
with the same frequency (for example, monthly or annually), however, the interest rates of the adjustable
rate HECMs related to a specific pool of Participations may vary as the HECMs may have different
mortgage margins and different mortgage interest rate adjustment dates. An annual adjustable rate
HECM is also subject to caps that may limit the periodic and lifetime mortgage interest rate for such
HECM. A monthly adjustable rate HECM is also subject to a maximum lifetime mortgage interest rate.
Notwithstanding any fluctuations or adjustments in the related indices, the limitations on interest rate

3

adjustments may impact the amount of interest accrued in respect of any HECM, and will ultimately
affect the yield to maturity on the securities.
Adjustable rate HECMs may not realize yields comparable to other adjustable rate mortgage
loans. The mortgage interest rate for each adjustable rate HECM will be based on one of the indices
described under “The MBS Assets – Ginnie Mae II Certificates” plus a specified margin, but are
generally subject to limitations on interest rate adjustments. These indices may not rise and fall
consistently with the prevailing interest rates on other adjustable rate mortgage loans based on other
indices. As a result, the mortgage interest rates on adjustable rate HECMs at any time may not equal the
prevailing rates for other adjustable rate mortgage loans, and the rate of prepayment may be higher or
lower than would otherwise be anticipated.
The yield to maturity of the securities will be affected by limits on future draws and accruals on
the related HECM. The payment plan options available to and selected by a borrower may affect
prepayments. The type of interest rate selected by a borrower and the then current available payment plan
options may limit the types of payment plans available to certain borrowers. Investors in securities that
are backed ultimately by Participations related to fixed rate HECMs with a single disbursement lump sum
payment plan may not realize yields comparable to investors in fixed rate HECMs with other payment
plans. Investors in securities that are backed ultimately by Participations related to HECMs with a nonborrowing spouse who satisfies the qualifying attributes and requirements to defer the due and payable
status may not realize yields comparable to investors in other HECMs. Although borrowers can choose
from different payment plan options, the interest rate (or interest rate formula in the case of adjustable rate
HECMs) payable on their HECMs is established at origination. The pool underlying an MBS Asset may
contain Participations related to HECMs that are subject to different limits on future draws and accruals.
These limitations on future draws and accruals may impact the amount of principal and interest accrued in
respect of any HECM, and will ultimately affect the yield to maturity on the securities.
An investment in the securities is subject to significant reinvestment and extension risk. The rate
of principal payments on your securities is uncertain. You may be unable to reinvest the payments on
your securities at the same returns provided by the securities. Lower prevailing interest rates may result in
an unexpected return of principal. In that interest rate climate, higher yielding reinvestment opportunities
may be limited. Conversely, higher prevailing interest rates may result in slower returns of principal and
you may not be able to take advantage of higher yielding investment opportunities. The final payment on
your security may occur much earlier than the final distribution date.
The yields to investors will be sensitive in varying degrees to the rate of principal payments in
respect of the underlying HECMs. In the case of securities purchased at a premium, faster than
anticipated rates of principal payments could result in actual yields to investors that are lower than the
anticipated yields. In the case of securities purchased at a discount, slower than anticipated rates of
principal payments could result in actual yields to investors that are lower than the anticipated yields.
Investors in the securities will recognize taxable income even though they may not receive a
current distribution of cash in respect of the securities. For United States federal income tax purposes,
securityholders will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Participations
underlying the MBS Assets. Because interest on the HECMs related to the Participations in a pool is not
paid currently, the Participations will be treated as issued with original issue discount. Investors,
regardless of their method of accounting, will be required to include any original issue discount that
accrues on the Participations ultimately underlying their securities in their taxable income as it accrues
regardless of whether they receive cash distributions in respect of the securities. Accordingly, investors in
the securities may recognize taxable income in excess of cash distributions on the securities. See “Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in HECM MBS” herein.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GINNIE MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATES
General
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. The full faith and credit of the United States of America stands behind each Ginnie Mae
Platinum Guaranty. Pursuant to the Seventh Amendment and Restatement as of October 1, 2011 of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1994, among The Bank of New York
Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) successor in interest to The Bank of New York, as Administrator and as Ginnie
Mae Platinum Trustee, the Initial Depositor and each of the Depositors, as it may be supplemented and
amended from time to time, the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust will issue each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
Forms of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates; Book-Entry Procedures
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate initially will be issued and maintained in Book-Entry Form
through the book-entry system of the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks (the “Fedwire Book-Entry System”).
Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series initially will be represented by one or more certificates
registered in the name of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (together with any successor or other
depository selected by Ginnie Mae, the “Depository”). This Base Offering Circular refers to those whose
names appear on the Register as registered holders of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (which will
include the Depository’s nominee, MBSCC & Co., and any registered holders of Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates) as “Holders” of those Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
The Fedwire Book-Entry System is an electronic facility operated by the U.S. Federal Reserve
Banks for maintaining securities accounts and for effecting transfers. The Fedwire Book-Entry system is
a real-time, delivery-versus-payment, gross settlement system that allows for the simultaneous transfer of
securities against payment. The Fedwire Book-Entry System is used to clear, settle and pay not only
Ginnie Mae Securities, but also all U.S. Treasury marketable debt instruments, the majority of book-entry
securities issued by other government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and the mortgagebacked securities issued by the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Beneficial ownership of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate will be subject to the
rules and procedures governing the Depository and its participants as in effect from time to time. The
Depository will maintain evidence of the interests of its participants in any Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates by appropriate entries in the Depository’s books and records. Only participants of
the Fedwire Book-Entry System are eligible to maintain book-entry accounts directly with the Depository.
A Beneficial Owner that is not a participant of the Fedwire Book-Entry system generally will evidence its
interest in a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate by appropriate entries in the books and records
of one or more financial intermediaries, including a Depository participant. A Beneficial Owner of a

5

Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate must rely upon these procedures to evidence its beneficial
ownership, and may transfer its beneficial ownership only if it complies with the procedures of the
appropriate financial intermediaries. Correspondingly, a Beneficial Owner of a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate must depend upon its financial intermediaries (including the Depository, as Holder)
to enforce its rights with respect to a Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate.
The Administrator will authenticate the certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on behalf
of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be freely transferable
and exchangeable at the offices of the Administrator in New York, New York. The Administrator may
impose a service charge upon Holders for any registration of exchange or transfer of Certificated Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates, and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge incurred in connection with any transfer.
Minimum Denominations
Each Series Trust Fund will issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in minimum dollar
denominations representing initial principal balances of $1,000 and multiples of $1 in excess of $1,000.
Monthly Payments
Each month, the Administrator shall calculate the amount of principal and interest distributable
on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (the “Payment Amount”). The Payment Amount for each Ginnie
Mae Platinum Series for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date will equal (a) the sum of principal and
interest payable on the underlying MBS Assets less (b) amounts payable to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement and amounts payable on the related Ginnie
Mae Platinum PO Bond. The Administrator will determine the amount of principal expected to be
received on the MBS Assets during that month on the basis of Certificate Factors for those Ginnie Mae
Certificates on the seventh Business Day of the month in the case of Ginnie Mae II Certificates.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series is the factor (carried to
eight decimal places) that may be multiplied by the Original Principal Balance of the related Ginnie Mae
Platinum Series to determine the Principal Balance of that Ginnie Mae Platinum Series after giving effect
to the distributions of principal to be made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates (and any addition to
the Principal Balance for interest accrued in respect of the underlying MBS Assets) and payments to be
made on the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond on the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date. The
Administrator will cause the Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors to be included in the monthly factor tape
relating to the MBS Assets.
For any Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date, investors can calculate the amount of principal to be
distributed on any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by multiplying the Original Principal Balance of that
Ginnie Mae Platinum Series by the difference between its Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors for the preceding
and current months. Each month the accrued interest with respect to the underlying MBS Assets will be
added to the outstanding principal balance of the MBS Assets. As a result, there are no scheduled
payments of interest in respect of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Due to the non-amortizing nature of HECMs, it is uncertain when payments will be made in
respect of any Ginnie Mae Platinum Series. See “Risk Factors” and “The MBS Assets” herein.
The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date” for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates shall be the
day of each month on which payment is to be made by the Depository to the beneficial owners of the
underlying Ginnie Mae Certificates that are in Book-Entry Form, in accordance with the established rules

6

and procedures of the Depository, as in effect from time to time. The “Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment
Date” shall be with respect to distributions or payments on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security,
the Business Day following the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date for Book-Entry Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities.
Method of Payments
Distributions of principal and interest on a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will be made, if
applicable, on each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (or, with respect to Certificated Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities, the Business Day following the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date) to
the Persons in whose names the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates are registered on the related Record
Date.
The Administrator will make distributions of principal and interest on any Book-Entry Ginnie
Mae Platinum Security to the Depository, and Beneficial Owners will receive distributions through
credits to accounts maintained on the books and records of appropriate financial intermediaries (including
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as Holder) for the benefit of those Beneficial Owners.
The Administrator will make each distribution on a Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Security, if
applicable, on the Business Day following each Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date (a) by check mailed
to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it appears in the applicable Register on the applicable Record
Date or (b) upon receipt by the Administrator 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 Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment Date, to the account of the Holder thereof, if the Holder holds Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series in an initial aggregate principal amount of at least
$5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in retirement of any Certificated Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate at the Administrator’s offices in New York, New York.
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION
The Government National Mortgage Association is a wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of
the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Section 306(g) of Title III
of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended (the “Housing Act”), authorizes Ginnie Mae to
guarantee the timely payment of the principal of, and interest on, certificates or securities that are based
on and backed by a pool of mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration
under the Housing Act (each, an “FHA Loan”).
Section 306(g) of the National Housing Act provides that “the full faith and credit of the United
States is pledged to the payment of all amounts which may be required to be paid under any guaranty
under this subsection.” To meet its obligations under its guaranties, Ginnie Mae is authorized, under
Section 306(d) of the National Housing Act, to borrow from the United States Treasury with no
limitations as to amount.
GINNIE MAE PLATINUM GUARANTY
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of interest and principal on each Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series (in accordance with the terms of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Series as specified in the related
Offering Circular Supplement). The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit

7

of the United States of America. The Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty will be set forth on the Certificated
Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities.
THE MBS ASSETS

General
Each MBS Asset included in a Series Trust Fund will be either (i) a “fully -modified passthrough” mortgage-backed certificate (a “Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate”) issued and serviced by a
mortgage banking company or other financial concern approved by Ginnie Mae (a “Ginnie Mae Issuer”)
or (ii) a previously issued Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate (together, with Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates,
“Ginnie Mae Certificates”).
With respect to each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, a Depositor, pursuant to a Deposit Agreement,
will transfer to the Series Trust Fund the MBS Assets, which are based on or backed by Participations that
are related to HECMs secured by a first lien on the principal residence of a borrower as further described
under “Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Guidelines Regarding Insurance of HECMs—Borrower
and Mortgaged Property Eligibility Criteria” in the HECM MBS Base Prospectus.
The Depositor will represent and warrant in the Deposit Agreement that the information set forth
therein, including the principal balance and Certificate Rate for each Ginnie Mae Certificate as of the
Issuance Date, is true and correct as of such date.
The HECMs related to Participations underlying a particular Ginnie Mae Certificate must be of
the same type and have either a fixed or adjustable interest rate.
Ginnie Mae will have guaranteed each Ginnie Mae Certificate included in a Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series in accordance with a guaranty agreement (a “Certificate Guaranty Agreement”) between Ginnie
Mae and the Ginnie Mae Issuer. Pursuant to its Certificate Guaranty Agreement, a Ginnie Mae Issuer
will be required to advance its own funds in order to make timely payments of all amounts due on each of
the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, even if the payments received by the Ginnie Mae Issuer on the
Participations ultimately underlying a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate are less than the amounts due on that
Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate.
Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal of and interest on each Ginnie Mae
Certificate securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, subject only to the terms and conditions of such
Ginnie Mae Certificate, and this obligation is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Each Ginnie Mae Certificate will have an original maturity of not more than 50 years. Each Ginnie Mae
MBS Certificate is based on or backed by Participations in HECMs insured by FHA. Holders of these
Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates are not entitled to scheduled monthly principal and interest payments. No
interest or principal is required to be paid by the borrower in respect of any HECM as to which the
Participations relate until maturity, which generally does not occur until after the occurrence of a Maturity
Event. A “Maturity Event” generally occurs (i) if a borrower dies and the property is not the principal
residence of at least one surviving borrower, (ii) if a borrower conveys all of his or her title in the
mortgaged property and no other borrower retains title to the mortgaged property, (iii) if the mortgaged
property ceases to be the principal residence of a borrower for reasons other than death and the mortgaged
property is not the principal residence of at least one other borrower, (iv) if a borrower fails to occupy the
mortgaged property for a period of longer than 12 consecutive months because of physical or mental
illness and the mortgaged property is not the principal residence of at least one other borrower, or (v) if a
borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under the HECM (for example, the failure of the borrower

8

to pay taxes and hazard insurance premiums). A borrower may, however, prepay in whole or in part the
outstanding balance of a HECM at any time without penalty.
HECMs generally provide for the deferral of a Maturity Event when the last surviving borrower
dies with a non-borrowing spouse who satisfies FHA qualifying attributes and ongoing requirements for
deferral. This deferral period ceases when a non-borrowing spouse fails to qualify or satisfy FHA
requirements for deferral, at which point the Maturity Event is no longer deferred and the HECM will
become due and payable in accordance with FHA procedures. Generally, a HECM is not repaid
immediately upon the occurrence of a Maturity Event, but continues to accrue interest until the liquidation
of the related mortgaged property and the repayment of the HECM or the receipt of insurance proceeds
from FHA. Any resulting shortfall to investors in the related Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate with respect to
any Participations in the related HECM will be covered by the Ginnie Mae Issuer and if the Ginnie Mae
Issuer defaults on its obligations, by Ginnie Mae pursuant to its guaranty of the Ginnie Mae MBS
Certificates.
In addition, the Ginnie Mae Issuer is obligated to purchase (such obligation is referred to as a
“Mandatory purchase event”) all Participations related to a HECM when the outstanding principal amount
of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the “Maximum Claim Amount.” Furthermore, a
Ginnie Mae Issuer may, at its option, purchase all Participations related to any HECM (such option is
referred to as a “98% Optional purchase event”) to the extent that any borrower’s request for an additional
advance in respect of any HECM, if funded, together with the outstanding principal amount of the related
HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the “Maximum Claim Amount.” The "Maximum Claim
Amount" of a HECM is the lesser of the appraised value of the property, the sales price of the property
being purchased or the national mortgage limit, as determined in accordance with FHA guidelines. See
“Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Guidelines Regarding Insurance of HECMs—Borrower and
Mortgaged Property Eligibility Criteria” and “Financial Characteristics of HECMs—Obligation of
Ginnie Mae Issuer to Purchase Participations Related to Mortgage Loans in Limited Circumstances” and
“—Optional Purchase of Participations Related to HECMs” in the HECM MBS Base Prospectus.
In addition, a Ginnie Mae Issuer may, at its option, purchase all Participations related to a HECM
that becomes, and continues to be, due and payable in accordance with its terms (such option is referred to
as a “Due and payable purchase event,” and collectively with the Mandatory purchase event and the 98%
Optional purchase event, a “Ginnie Mae Issuer purchase event”). In connection with any Due and
payable purchase event or any 98% Optional purchase event (each referred to as an “Optional purchase
event”) a Ginnie Mae Issuer must purchase all of the Participations related to the affected HECM at the
end of its reporting month (as such term is defined in the related Certificate Guaranty Agreement).
HECM borrowers may choose from various payment plans, which may be limited or influenced
by the characteristics of their particular HECM. These characteristics include, among other things, the
value of the mortgaged property, the amount disbursed to the HECM borrower at closing, the age of the
HECM borrower and in certain cases the age of any non-borrowing spouse, and the type of interest rate
selected by the HECM borrower at closing. HECM borrowers may have the ability to change to another
available payment plan at any time as long as the change complies with FHA requirements. The “single
disbursement lump sum” payment plan allows a single draw at closing of up to a specified percentage of
the principal limit of the HECM plus subsequent disbursements after closing for set-asides. The “tenure”
payment plan guarantees that the borrower will receive equal monthly payments for so long as the
property remains the borrower’s principal residence. The “term” payment plan guarantees that the
borrower will receive monthly payments for a fixed term of months as selected by the borrower. The
“line of credit” payment plan allows the borrower to draw up to the available line of credit and in amounts
of the borrower’s choosing. The “modified tenure” payment plan allows the borrower to set aside a
portion of loan proceeds as a line of credit and receive the remaining balance in the form of equal
9

monthly payments. The “modified term” payment plan allows the borrower to set aside a portion of the
loan proceeds as a line of credit and receive the remaining balance as equal monthly payments for a fixed
period of time selected by the borrower. Each payment plan is designed so that no repayments of
principal or interest are required until a Maturity Event occurs, which may be deferred in certain
circumstances. Any HECM may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty under each of
the payment plans. See “Risk Factors — HECM borrowers may choose from various payment plans,
each of which has different prepayment characteristics that may affect the weighted average lives and
yields of the Ginnie Mae Certificates underlying the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates” herein.
Each Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate will accrue interest at the applicable interest rate (the “HECM
MBS Rate”) specified in the related prospectus supplement. The accrued interest will not be paid to
holders of the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate but will be added each month to the then outstanding
principal amount of the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate, and will be payable together with the original
principal amount of the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate as set forth in the related prospectus supplement to
the extent such amount has not been paid prior to the final distribution date for the Ginnie Mae MBS
Certificate. In general, any payments received in respect of any HECMs prior to the final distribution
date will be passed through pro rata to the respective holders of participation interests in outstanding
advances made to a borrower relating to the HECM.
In the case of Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates, each Ginnie Mae Issuer will perform the routine
functions required for servicing of FHA Loans for which it is responsible, including mortgagor billings,
receipt and posting of payments, payment of property taxes and hazard insurance premiums, remittance,
collections and customer service. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer will be obligated under its Certificate Guaranty
Agreements with Ginnie Mae to service the pooled Participations in accordance with FHA requirements
and with generally accepted practices in the mortgage lending industry. Each Ginnie Mae Issuer’s
responsibilities with respect to the pooled Participations will include collection of all principal and
interest payments and payments made by borrowers toward escrows established for taxes and insurance
premiums; maintenance of necessary hazard insurance policies; institution of all actions necessary to
foreclose on, or take other appropriate action with respect to, loans in default; and collection of insurance
and guaranty benefits.
The Depository or its nominee, as registered holder (on behalf of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee) of the MBS Assets securing a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series, has the right to proceed directly
against Ginnie Mae under the terms of the Ginnie Mae Certificate for any amounts that are not paid when
due.
Ginnie Mae II Certificates
The MBS Assets for each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series described herein are composed entirely of
pools of Participations in respect of either fixed or adjustable rate HECMs formed pursuant to the Ginnie
Mae II MBS Program.
Under the Ginnie Mae II Program, the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates are backed by a pool of
Participations in respect of either fixed or adjustable rate HECMs formed by a single Ginnie Mae Issuer.
Payments of principal and interest are made to holders of Ginnie Mae II Certificates on the 20th of each
month (or the first Business Day thereafter).
The HECM MBS Rate is generally equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the
underlying Participations (each, a “Participation Interest Rate”). With respect to each Participation, the
Participation Interest Rate generally equals the interest rate of the related HECM less the Servicing Fee
Margin. The Servicing Fee Margin generally represents the amount of the servicing compensation

10

payable to the Ginnie Mae Issuer and the Ginnie Mae guaranty fee. However, the Servicing Fee Margin
may vary depending on the Issue Date of the Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate and whether the servicing
compensation for the HECM is paid on a flat monthly fee arrangement or as a portion of the mortgage
interest rate. With respect to a HECM for which the servicing compensation is based on a flat, monthly
fee arrangement, the Servicing Fee Margin (i) for a Participation backing a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate
issued prior to July 1, 2011 cannot be less than a per annum rate of 0.06% or more than 0.75%, and (ii)
for a Participation backing a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate issued on or after July 1, 2011 cannot be less
than a per annum rate of 0.36% or more than 1.50%. With respect to a HECM for which the servicing
compensation is based on a portion of the mortgage interest rate, the Servicing Fee Margin (i) for a
Participation backing a Ginnie Mae MBS Certificate issued prior to July 1, 2011 cannot be less than a per
annum rate of 0.25% or more than 0.75%, and (ii) for a Participation backing a Ginnie Mae MBS
Certificate issued on or after July 1, 2011 cannot be less than a per annum rate of 0.36% or more than
1.50%.
The HECMs as to which the Participations relate may either be fixed or are adjustable rate loans.
The applicable indices for a HECM with a monthly adjustment date are (1) the weekly average yield of
the U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year (“one-year CMT”), (2) one-month
Adjusted CME Term SOFR, or (3) as described in the related HECM prospectus supplement. The
available indices for a HECM with an annual adjustment date are (1) one-year CMT, (2) twelve-month
Adjusted CME Term SOFR, or (3) as described in the related HECM prospectus supplement. If any such
index ceases to be available for any reason, then the rate will be based upon a new index selected by the
lender from the list of indices approved for use with HUD-insured HECMs, which will be announced as
soon as it is available. With respect to an adjustable rate HECM with an annual adjustment date, the
HECM is subject to a periodic and lifetime interest rate cap. With respect to an adjustable rate HECM
with a monthly adjustment date, the HECM is subject to a maximum stated interest rate established by the
lender in the HECM note.
Mortgage Loans with Interest Rates formerly based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"). Representative publication of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") ended on June
30, 2023. Any LIBOR-based interest rate for adjustable rate mortgage loans underlying Ginnie Mae II
Certificates, including HECMs as to which the Participations may relate, will be converted at the first
contractual reset date for such mortgage loan after June 30, 2023, to the corresponding tenor of CME
Term SOFR plus the applicable spread adjustment specified in the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act
("Adjusted CME Term SOFR"), as published by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (or any
successor administrator, "Refinitiv"). Refinitiv's "all in," no floor" USD IBOR Consumer Cash Fallback
rates will reflect the one-year transition of the spread adjustment mandated for consumer assets under the
Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the "LIBOR Act"). The Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates backed
by such mortgage loans will convert at the same time to the corresponding tenor of Adjusted CME Term
SOFR, but with the spread adjustment applicable under the LIBOR Act for commercial assets. The
implementation of the spread adjustment for consumer assets has a one-year transition period intended to
benefit consumers while the implementation of the spread adjustment for commercial assets does not.
After the one year transition period, the applicable spread adjustment on the mortgage loans and the
Ginnie Mae II MBS Certificates will be the same.
The FHA Loan Program
FHA, an organizational unit within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was
established to encourage improvement in housing standards and conditions, to provide an adequate home
financing system by insurance of housing mortgages and credit and to exert a stabilizing influence on the
mortgage market. FHA provides insurance for lenders against loss on eligible mortgages.

11

Under the FHA mortgage insurance program, an FHA home mortgage may be made to borrowers
meeting certain credit standards by an approved mortgage lender. FHA insures payment to the holder of
that loan in the event of default by the borrower. Upon default, the lender, depending on the
circumstances, may (a) assign the mortgage to FHA; (b) acquire title (through foreclosure or deed in lieu
of foreclosure) and convey title to FHA; or (c) work with the borrower to sell the property before the
foreclosure sale. The lender will receive insurance benefits equal to the unpaid principal balance of the
loan, plus approved expenses. See “Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Guidelines Regarding
Insurance of HECMs” in the HECM MBS Base Prospectus for an overview of the guidelines regarding
FHA’s insurance of HECMs as authorized pursuant to Section 255 of the National Housing Act.
YIELD, MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

General
The prepayment experience of the HECMs related to the Participations underlying the MBS
Assets will affect the Weighted Average Life of and the yield realized by investors in the related Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates. Mortgagors may voluntarily prepay their HECMs in full or in part at any time
without penalty. The rate of principal payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and
payments of certain other amounts resulting from defaults) on the HECMs generally depends on a variety
of economic, geographic, social and other factors, including prevailing market interest rates and general
economic factors. The rate of prepayments on conventional mortgage loans has fluctuated significantly in
recent years. There is no assurance, however, that prepayment patterns for the HECMs will conform to
patterns for more traditional types of conventional fixed or adjustable rate mortgage loans. In general, if
prevailing mortgage interest rates fall materially below the interest rates on the HECMs (giving
consideration to the cost of refinancing), the rate of prepayment of the HECMs would be expected to
increase. Conversely, if mortgage interest rates rise materially above the interest rates on the HECMs, the
rate of prepayment of the HECMs would be expected to decrease. There can be no assurance, however,
that prepayments will occur in accordance with these patterns.
If the prepayment rate on the HECMs increases during a period of declining interest rates,
investors may receive increased principal distributions at a time when those investors are unable to
reinvest at interest rates as favorable as the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
If the prepayment rate on the HECMs decreases during a period of rising interest rates, investors may
receive declining principal distributions when those investors otherwise may have been able to reinvest at
higher interest rates than the Interest Rates of the applicable Ginnie Mae Platinum Series.
The yield on the MBS Assets will depend in large part on the occurrence of Maturity
Events generally, and specifically, the mobility, health and mortality of the borrowers or the likelihood
that a borrower would fail to abide by certain mortgage covenants. The rate and timing of Maturity
Events, and therefore the yields on and weighted average lives of the MBS Assets, may differ
substantially from an investor’s expectation. In addition, the yield to maturity will be affected by
voluntary prepayments in whole or in part by the borrowers.
The yield to investors may also be affected by the Ginnie Mae Issuer’s obligation to purchase all
Participations related to a HECM upon the occurrence of a Ginnie Mae Issuer Purchase Event. See “The
HECM MBS—General” and “Financial Characteristics of HECMs—Obligation of Ginnie Mae Issuer to
Purchase Participations Related to Mortgage Loans in Limited Circumstances” and “—Optional
Purchase of Participations Related to HECMs” in the HECM MBS Base Prospectus.

12

Payment Delay
Distributions of interest on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates on any Ginnie Mae Platinum
Payment Date will include interest accrued thereon through the last day of the month preceding the month
in which such Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date occurs. The effective yield to the Holders will be
lower than the yield otherwise produced by the applicable Interest Rate and purchase price because
interest will not be distributed on Book-Entry Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Payment Date of the month following the month in which such interest accrues on the MBS
Assets, and interest will not be distributed on Certificated Ginnie Mae Platinum Securities until the
Business Day after the Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date.
THE SERIES TRUST FUNDS
General
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates will be issued by a trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trust”), a limited purpose trust created to hold MBS Assets and issue Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates
representing beneficial ownership of specified pools of such MBS Assets (each a “Series Trust Fund”).
BNY Mellon has been appointed the trustee of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee”) by the Depositors. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will represent an undivided beneficial
ownership in a Series Trust Fund consisting of whole or partial interests in two or more previously issued
Ginnie Mae Certificates, contributed by a Depositor that arranged for the creation of the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Securities. Each of the Ginnie Mae Certificates underlying a Ginnie Mae Platinum Series will
be identified in the Offering Circular Supplement.
Amendment
Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
(with Ginnie Mae’s consent) may amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement for any purpose,
without the consent of any Holder. The Administrator and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may not
amend the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement, however, if the effect of that amendment would be to
alter the timing or amount of any required distribution of principal or interest (including distributions
made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guaranty) to any Holder, or the right of any Holder to institute
suit for the enforcement of any payment, without the consent of each affected Holder.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will issue a single Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond in
connection with each Series Trust Fund to pay for certain expenses and fees incurred in connection with
establishing such Series Trust Fund. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be a non-recourse debt
obligation of the related Series Trust Fund. The initial principal balance of each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO
Bond will be $1,000. The Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will receive its proportion of payments of the
principal amount of the MBS Assets in the related Series Trust Fund but will not receive payments of
interest. Each Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond will be initially placed privately with the Administrator.

The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice to Ginnie Mae.
Upon notice of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee’s resignation, Ginnie Mae will appoint a successor
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee. Ginnie Mae also may remove the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appoint a successor if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee breaches its obligations under the Ginnie Mae

13

Platinum Trust Agreement, if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee under the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trust Agreement or if the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Trustee becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged a bankrupt or becomes insolvent, or a
receiver for the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property is appointed, or any public officer takes
control of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation of that property. Any resignation or removal of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee and
appointment of a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will become effective only upon the acceptance
of the appointment by a successor Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee.
The Ginnie Mae Platinum Trustee will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee Fee”) that accrues monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (a) the related
Interest Rate of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, (b) $1,000 and (c) the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Factor as of the immediately preceding Ginnie Mae Platinum Payment Date. The Ginnie Mae Platinum
Trustee Fee will be payable from payments on the underlying MBS Assets that represent accreted interest
on the underlying MBS Assets.

Termination
With respect to each Series Trust Fund, the pooling arrangement may be terminated at any time
prior to the final maturity date of the related Ginnie Mae Platinum Series; provided that the Holders of
each outstanding Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate of such Ginnie Mae Platinum Series have consented to
such termination and all conditions for termination specified in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Guide have been
satisfied. Upon formal notification with satisfactory evidence that all parties to the termination agreement
have concurred and that the Ginnie Mae Platinum PO Bond has been retired, and return of the Ginnie
Mae Platinum Certificates to Ginnie Mae for cancellation, the guaranty will be terminated and the MBS
Assets shall be delivered to such Holders.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of certain anticipated material United States federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates. The summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and decisions now in effect, all of
which are subject to change. The discussion does not purport to address investors in special tax
situations, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships, insurance companies,
regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, persons holding Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a straddle, conversion
transaction, or other integrated transaction, or investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
The discussion addresses solely investors who will purchase the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at
original issuance and hold the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates as “capital assets” (generally, property
held for investment) within the meaning of section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Finally, the summary does not purport to address the anticipated state, local or foreign
income tax consequences to investors of owning and disposing of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Consequently, investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the state, local,
foreign, and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates.
Investors who own an interest in a beneficial owner of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates that is
treated as a pass-through entity under the Code will generally receive the same tax treatment, with respect
to the material tax consequences of their indirect ownership of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, as

14

described herein for direct owners with the same tax status. Nonetheless, such persons should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
General. The United States federal income tax aspects of certain types of mortgage-backed
securities, such as the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, are described in Revenue Ruling 70-544, 1970-2
C.B.6, Revenue Ruling 70-545, 1970-2 C.B.7 and Revenue Ruling 74-169, 1974-1 C.B. 147. As
described in those rulings, a beneficial owner generally will be treated as owning a pro rata undivided
interest in each of the MBS Assets included in the Series Trust Fund. Accordingly, each beneficial owner
will be required to include in income its pro rata share of the gross income from such MBS Assets,
including interest and original issue discount (without reduction for the Servicing Fee Margin, to the
extent those fees represent reasonable compensation for services or reasonable expenses of the segregated
pool of Participations), if any. The income generally must be reported in the same manner and at the
same time as it would have been reported had the beneficial owner held such MBS Assets directly.
A beneficial owner generally will be entitled to deduct its pro rata share of the Servicing Fee
Margin, to the extent those fees represent reasonable compensation for services or reasonable expenses of
the segregated pool of Participations. Nevertheless, an individual, trust or estate that holds a Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificate directly or through a pass-through entity (e.g., a partnership) must treat such fees as
miscellaneous itemized deductions, which are not deductible in computing taxable income or alternative
minimum taxable income under current law for taxable years prior to 2026.
Because the interest on the HECMs is not paid currently, the HECMs, and thus the Participations
underlying the MBS Assets, will be issued with original issue discount within the meaning of section 12
73(a) of the Code. A beneficial owner generally must include such original issue discount in ordinary
income for United States federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield
method that takes into account the compounding of interest, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable
to such income. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate method for
reporting income, original issue discount and expenses with respect to the Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificates.
If any investors are treated as acquiring their Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates at a discount or
premium, such investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of such discount or
premium.
Classification. It is expected that the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“loans.. secured by an interest in real property which is.. residential real property “ within the meaning
of Code section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v), “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code section 856(c)(4)(A)
and an “obligation (including any participation or certificate of beneficial ownership therein) which is
principally secured by an interest in real property “ within the meaning of Code section 860G(a)(3)(A). It
is also expected that interest income from the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates generally will represent
“interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property” within the meaning of Code section
856(c)(3)(B).
Withholding Tax. Generally, interest, including original issue discount, received by a foreign
person not engaged in a trade or business within the United States is subject to withholding at a rate of
30% of the amount thereof. The Code, however, provides an exception for interest, including original
issue discount, that constitutes “portfolio interest,” which is exempt from withholding tax. Subject to
recent legislation discussed below, interest, including original issue discount, paid on the Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates generally will be treated as portfolio interest and therefore will not be subject to
withholding tax, provided that the beneficial owner properly certifies to the withholding agent the
beneficial owner’s status as a foreign person and provided that (i) such interest is not effectively

15

connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States of the beneficial owner and
(ii) such foreign person is not a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code section
871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C).
Foreign investors that beneficially own Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates should be aware that
under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”), a 30% withholding tax is imposed on
certain payments, including interest payments in respect of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates and
beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds, including the return of principal, from the sale, exchange
or other disposition of Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates, made to “foreign financial institutions” and
certain other foreign financial entities that fail to comply with the FATCA requirements. Foreign
investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to their Ginnie Mae
Platinum Certificates.
Disposition of a Security. Upon the sale of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, the beneficial
owner generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the
sale and the beneficial owner’s adjusted basis in the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate. The adjusted basis
of a Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate generally will equal the cost of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate
to the beneficial owner, increased by any amounts of original issue discount previously included in the
beneficial owner’s gross income with respect to the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate, and reduced by the
payments on the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate previously received by the beneficial owner. Any such
gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, except (i) as provided in Code section 582(c) (which
generally applies to banks) or (ii) to the extent any gain represents original issue discount not previously
included in income (to which extent such gain would be treated as ordinary income). Any capital gain (or
loss) will be long-term capital gain (or loss) if the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate is held as a capital
asset for more than one year. The ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.
THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UNITED STATES
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN A GINNIE MAE
PLATINUM CERTIFICATE.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN ADVISORS REGARDING
THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF A
GINNIE MAE PLATINUM CERTIFICATE.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION
BNY Mellon will act as Administrator for the Series Trust Fund created in connection with the
issuance of this Ginnie Mae Platinum Series. Upon the issuance of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates,
investors can access data specific to the MBS Assets and the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates in
electronic form on the disclosure section of Ginnie Mae’s website or by calling (800) 234-GNMA. The
Administrator will calculate the current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factor for this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Series as described in “Description of the Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificates–Monthly Payments” in the
Base Offering Circular. Current Ginnie Mae Platinum Factors will be available to investors each month,

Ginnie Mae Certificate Information
The issuers of the underlying MBS Assets, collectively, are the institutions that are identified in
the records of Ginnie Mae and the Administrator as issuers of the within referred MBS Assets (each, a
“Ginnie Mae Issuer”). None of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is responsible for any act or omission of the
Ginnie Mae Platinum Issuer or the Administrator in connection with this Ginnie Mae Platinum
Certificate. The undivided proportional beneficial interest in the Series Trust Fund consisting of the
underlying MBS Assets, which each Ginnie Mae Platinum Certificate represents, relates to all of the MBS
Assets in the Series Trust Fund and not solely to any one of the Ginnie Mae Certificates. While each of
the Ginnie Mae Issuers has undertaken to service and perform other functions with respect to the Ginnie
Mae MBS Certificates originated by the respective Ginnie Mae Issuer, none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for performing such functions with respect to the other Ginnie Mae MBS Certificates issued
by any other Ginnie Mae Issuers. No joint venture, partnership or other association is intended to be
formed among the Ginnie Mae Issuers or any other parties, and none of the Ginnie Mae Issuers is
responsible for any acts or omissions of any other Ginnie Mae Issuers.
