Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an excess inclusion, as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

7.
The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.

For this purpose, a disqualified organization means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.
3.
The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates may be a noneconomic residual interest within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code a nd that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4), the Transferee represents and warrants that the transfer does not involve the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of the Transferee and one of the following applies:
(i)
the consideration paid to the Transferee for accepting the Class R Certificates is greater than the present value of the anticipated net federal income taxes and tax benefits (Tax Liability Present Value) associated with owning such Certificates, with such present value computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable federal rate prescribed by Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (with all applicable computations done in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(8); or
(ii)
the Transferee (A) is an eligible corporation as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6), as to which the income of Class R Certificates will only be subject to taxation in the United States, (B) has, and has had in each of its two preceding fiscal years, gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the transferee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c)(6)) in excess of $100 million and net assets of $10 million, and (C) hereby agrees only to transfer the Certificate to another corporation meeting the criteria set forth in this letter.
4.
The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a pass-through entity holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a pass-through entity includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5.
The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferees agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
6.
The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7.
The Owners taxpayer identification number is ___________________.
8.
The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9.
The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10.
The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.
11.
The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R Certificates.
12.
The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.
13.
The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
14.
The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.
15.
The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a Permitted Transferee.
16.
The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
17.
The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class X Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trustee is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class X Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.
18.
The Owner
(a)
is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) (a Plan), or any other person purchasing any Certificate with the assets of any such plan or arrangement;

Schedule 3
The Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties related to the Mortgage Loans:
1.
The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects at the Cut-off Date;
2.
Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than any applicable rights to servicing and related compensation) and no action has been taken or failed to be taken by the Seller that would materially adversely affect the enforceability of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Depositor therein;
3.
No Mortgage Loan was more than 30 days delinquent in payment of principal and interest as of the Cut-off Date and no Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent in the 12-month period prior to the Cut-off Date;
4.
Subject to clause (3) above as respects delinquencies, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage and no event which, with notice and expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and no such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration has been waived by the Seller or by any other entity involved in originating or servicing a Mortgage Loan;
5.
Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
6.
Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure laws and/or all predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. Any and all disclosure statements required to be made by the Mortgagor relating to such requirements are and will remain in the Mortgage File;
7.
With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the first lien is in full force and effect and either (A) the prior mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the prior mortgage;
8.
There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
9.
No Mortgagor has any right of offset, rescission, defense or counterclaim, including the defense of usury as to the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage except as may be provided under the Servicemembers Civil Relief, as amended, and except with respect to any buydown agreement for a buydown Mortgage Loan;
10.
All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
11.
The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the originator, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions currently in effect which may constitute a buydown provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
12.
There are no mechanics liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except such liens that are insured or indemnified against by a title insurance policy described under clause (17) below;
13.
Each Mortgaged Property is free of damage and in good repair and no notice of condemnation has been given with respect thereto and the Seller knows of nothing involving any Mortgaged Property that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value or marketability of any Mortgaged Property;
14.
Each Mortgage Loan as of the time of its origination and as of the date of execution hereof complied in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including, without limitation, any and all laws, rules and regulations relating to consumer protection and mortgage loan origination and funding;
15.
Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder adequate to realize the benefits of the security against the Mortgaged Property, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage that is a deed of trust, by trustees sale, (ii) by summary foreclosure, if available under applicable law, and (iii) otherwise by foreclosure, and there is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor that would interfere with such right to sell at a trustees sale or right to foreclosure, subject in each case to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedents with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption;
16.
With respect to each Mortgage that is a deed of trust, a trustee duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such is properly named, designated and serving, and except in connection with a trustees sale after default by a Mortgagor, no fees or expenses are payable by the Seller to the trustee under any Mortgage that is a deed of trust;
17.
With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan for which it is required by the originator, a policy of title insurance in the form and amount required by the Program Guide was effective as of the closing of the Mortgage Loan, is valid and binding and remains in full force and effect unless the Mortgaged Properties are located in the State of Iowa, and an attorneys certificate has been provided as described in the Program Guide;
18.
No claims have been made under such lenders title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lenders title insurance policy;
19.
No Mortgage Loan provides for deferred interest or negative amortization;
20.
No Mortgage Loan has a senior mortgage which provides for deferred interest or negative amortization;
21.
Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Except with respect to 40/30 Mortgage Loans, 45/30 Mortgage Loans, 50/30 Mortgage Loans and Interest Only Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, however, in the case of a balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan matures at least five (5) years after the first payment date thereby requiring a final payment of the outstanding principal balance prior to the full amortizatio n of the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each 40/30 Mortgage Loan, 45/30 Mortgage Loan and 50/30 Mortgage Loan, other than a 40/30 Mortgage Loan, 45/30 Mortgage Loan and 50/30 Mortgage Loan that is also an Interest Only Mortgage Loan during the related interest-only period, the Mortgage Note matures (i.e., is due in full) thirty (30) years after the first payment date and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully over a forty (40) year, forty-five (45) year or fifty (50) year period, respectively, from commencement of amortization with respect to such 40/30 Mortgage Loan, 45/30 Mortgage Loan or 50/30 Mortgage Loan, as applicable; provided, however, the final monthly installment due under the terms of such Mortgage Note on the related stated maturity date is sufficient to reduce the then outstanding principal balance to zero (0). The Monthly Payment on each Interest Only Mortgage Loan (incl uding a 40/30 Mortgage Loan, 45/30 Mortgage Loan or 50/30 Mortgage Loan that is also an Interest Only Mortgage Loans) during the related interest only period is equal to the product of (i) the related Mortgage Interest Rate divided by twelve (12) and (ii) the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan on the first day of each month and after such interest-only period, except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans that are Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, such Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest;
22.
The improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured against loss by fire and other hazards including flood insurance if required under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain such casualty insurance at the Mortgagors expense, and on the Mortgagors failure to do so, authorize the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagors expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the Mortgagor;
23.
The provisions of each Mortgage Loan have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect unless approved in writing by the Seller. The title insurer, if any, has approved the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification to the extent required by the respective policy. No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection with the Mortgage Loans, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part from its obligations in connection with a Mortgage Loan;
24.
