The Complaint alleges, among other things, that certain registration
statements and prospectuses filed inconnection with the offerings ofthe certi$cates . contained misrepresentations and omissions in violation of Secion. 11, Section 12(a)(2), and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 3. 77k, 771(a)(2), 77o. (Complaint'" 107-138.)

Fairness .Act of2005 ("CAFA"). A putative class action filled air Februarys 18, 2005 may be removed under 28 U.S.C. 1332(d)(2) and. 1453 if (a) the amount in controversy exceeds the sum. or value of $5,.000,000, exclusive ofutmsts and costs; (b) any member of the putative class is a citizen of a state different, from any defendant; and (c) no specified exceptions apply. Consent ofall defendants is not required to remove an action under CAFA. 28 U.S.C. 1453(b). Additionally, ` AFA overrides the Securities Act's anti uavat provision." See N.J.
Carpenters Vacation Fund v. JiarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-4, No. 08 Civ. 5093 (RB), 2008 VAT:, 4369840, at *6 (S]:N.Y. Sept. 24, 2008). 5. CAFA applies in this action because the state court action was
commenced on or about September 22, 2008,1 e,, after the effective date of CAFA_ 6. The state court action is a "class action" within the meaning of CAFA.
(Complaint 143 C`Plaintiff brings this action as a class action pursuant to Article 9 ofthe. New Pork. Civil Practice Law and. Rules ("CPLR") on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who p=hased or acquired the Certificates (the "Class") pursuant to and/or traceable to the
Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Offering from the effective date through the dale of the filing of this act') T. The state court action satisfies CAFA:' s a untin-controversy
requirem ent Under 28 U.S.C. 1332(d)(6), the amount in controversy, in a putative class action is determined by aggregating the amount at issue in the claims of all members of the putative class. Here, the Complaint alleges that the Defendants made false anti misleading statements in connection with certificate offerings of over $8 billion and that the value of Plaintiffs holdings
declined by over 95%. (Complaint IN I, 106.) Although the RALJ Defendants deny that
Plaintiff or any putative class member is entitled to recover any amount or to any relief, these allegations show that the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000, exclusive of interest and
requirement. 28 U.S.C. 1332(d)(2}(A). Under CAFA, itis sufficient that any one member of the putative class is a citizen of a state. different from any one defendant; complete diversity is not required. Plaintiff asserts that it is a benefit fund with offices located in the State of New Jersey. (Complaint 7.) Allof the RALI Defendants are citizens of a dif ent state as they
maintain offices in Minnesota and are organized under the laws of the State of New York or the State of Delaware . (Complaint In 82Q, 23, 33 9. No exceptions to CAFA's -applicability apply in this case. Other Procedural R Yemenis

Common questions of law and fact exist as to all members of the Class and
predominate over any questions solely erecting individual members of the Class. Among the questions of law and fact common to the Class are. a) whether the provisions ofthe Securities Act of 1933 were violated by the
Defendants as alleged herein; b) whether the Registration Statements and Prospectuses contained
materially untrue statements or omitted statements of material fact; and c) to what extent the members ofthe Class have sustained, damages pursuant

In most cases, under a #radth na1 '7u1 documentation program each mo gagor will leave been requireed to complete an application designed to rf credit arnsation. conwern ng the provide to the original lender p mortgagor. As part of The description of the mortgagor's financial conditiun, the mortgagor will have furnished information, which may be supplied solely in the application, with respect to its assets, liabilities, i== (except as described employment history and personal infomatiion, and bellow), cry bis furnished an authorization to apply for a wit report that summarizes the borrowers it histoy with local al merchants and lenders and any turd of required to authorize verifications bankruptcy. The mortgW may also have i of deposits at. financial institutions where the mortgagor bad demand or savings ac unts. Iu the case of investment properties and two- to fourunit dwellings, income derived from the mortgaged property may have been considered. for underwriting purposes;, in addition to the income of the mortgagor from other ty' consisting of vacation or second t to mortgaged pro sources. With. re homes, no income derived fiom the property will have been considered for underwriting purpose . In the case of min bormwer s with a ptable payment histories no income will be required to be stated,,. or verified, in. connection with the loan application,

If specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, a mortgage pool may include mortgage loans that have been underwritten pint to a streamlined documentation refinancing program:, Such program permits some mortgage loans to be refinanced with only limited verification or updating of the underwriting information that was obtained at the time that. the original mortgage lam was originated . For ammple, a new appraisal, of a mortgaged property may not be d up to 24 months required if the related original mortgage low was on prior to the refinance . In addition, a mortgagor's income may not be verified, although continued employment is required to be verified. In certain circumstances a mortgagor may be permitted to borrow up to 100!0 of the outstanding principal amount of the original mortgage loan. Each mortgage loan men pursuant to this program will be treated as having been underwritten pursuant to the same un&xwriting documentation prim as the mortgage loan that it refinanced, including for pmpnses of the disclosure. in the accompanying pro's supplement. If specified in the accompanying prospectus suppled sore mortgage Roans may h on," "scatted documentation" ted under limited docwn : been on or "no documentation ' programs that require less documentation and verification than do traditional "full docum entation" programs. Under a Fnnitad damson, stated documentation or no documentation program, minimal investigation into the mortgages credit history and income profile is undertaken by the originator and the Ong may be based primarily or entirely on an appraisal ofthe mortgaged property and the LTG' ratio at origination.
The adequacy of a- mom: property as set ity for repayment of the related mortgage loan will typically have been determined by an appraisal or an automated valuation, as desedbed above under '=Loan-,to-Value Rafio."
Appraisers may be either staff appraisers employed by the originator or independent appraisers selected in accordance with pre-etablished guidelines established by or suable to the originator. The appraisal procedure guidelines will have required the appraiser or no agent on its behalf to personally inspect the prop y and to verify whether the proparty was in good condition and that construction, if new, had been substantially completed. The appraisal will have considered a mazes data analysis of recent sales of comparable properties and, when deemed applicabIe, an analysis based on income generated from the property or replacement cost analysis based on. the cuucat cost of constructing or ping a similar property.
The underwriting standards applied by an orb typically require that the underwriting officers of the originator be smeted that the value of the property being financed, as indicated by an appraisal or othe r accepUble valuation method as described below, currently supports and is anticipated to support in the # re some states Where the mortgaged properties the outstanding loan balance. In f may be located have "anti-deficiency" laves requiring, in general, that lenders providing credit on single wily property look solely to the property for
22
repayment in the event of foreclosure. See "Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans and Contact-," Any of these factors could change nationwide or merely could affect a locality or region in which all or same ,of the mortgaged properties are located. However, declining values of real fie, as experienced periodically in certain regions, or increases in the principal balances of some mortgage loans, such as GPM Loam and negative amortization ARM loans, could cause the principal balance of some or all of these mortgage loans to exceed the value of the mortgaged p opertxes. Based on the data provided in the application and certain verificadois, ifrequired; and the appraisal or other valuation of the mortgaged property, a determination ,Will have been made by the original lender that the mortgagor's monthly income, Ie the mortgagor to meet ita if required to be stated, would be sufficient to a and other expenses related to the monthly obligations on the mortgage loan property. Examples of other expenses include property taxes, utility costs, standard hazard and primary merge insurance, maintenance fees and other levies assessed by a Cooperative, .if applicable, and other fixed. obligations other than housing expels. The originator's guidelines for mortgage loans will, in most cases, specify that scheduled patents on a mortgage loan during the first year of its term plus taxes and insurance, including primary mortgage insuranc, and: all scheduled payments an obligations that extend beyond one year, in clud those mentioned above and meter fixed obligations, would equal no more than specified percentages of the prospective mortgagor's gross income. The originator may also consider The amount of liquid assets available to the mortgagor after origination. The le vet bf review by Residential Funding Corporation, if any, will vary depending on several factors. Residential Funding Corporation, on behalf of the depositor, typically will review a sample of the mortgage loans purchased, by l idential Funding Corporation for conformity with the applicable underwriting standards and to assess the likelihood ofrepayment of the mortgage loan from the various sources for such repayment, including the mortgagor, the mortgaged properly, and primary mortgage insuran , if any. Such underwriting reviews will, get ally not be conducted w th respect to any individual mortgage pool related to a series of certificates. In reviewing seasoned mortgage loans, or mortgage Ioaas that have been. outstanding for more than 12 months, Residential Funding Corporation may also take into consideration the mortgagor's actual payment history in assessing a mortgagor's current ability to make payments on the mortgage loan. In addition, Residential. Funding Corporation may conduct additional procedures to assess the current value of the mortgaged Properties. Those procedures may consist of drive-by appraisals, automated valuations or real estate brokees price opinions. The depositor may also consider a specific area's housing value trees T(rese alternative valuation methods may not be as ramble agorfinancial information or appraisals that are typicaUy as the type of Inc is undsrwrilinn analysis, Residential Funding obtained at Corpvrat rn may 4so consider the applicable Credit Scare of the reed

With respect to the depositor's undwwriting standards, as well as any air erw riling studs that may be applicable to any mortgage loans, such underwriting standards typically include a set of specific criteria by which the underwriting evaluation is made. However, the application of the underwriting standards does not imply that each specific criterion was satisfied individually. Romer, a mortgage loan will be, ide red to be originated in accordance with a given set of underwriting staindards if, based on an overall qualitative evaluation, the loan is in substantial compliance with the underwriting standards. For exampl,e,.&-mortgzge loan may be considered tQ comply With a set of underwriting standards, even if one or more specs c criteria included in the underwriting standards were not sahsfie4 if other factors compensated for the trite .a that were not satisfied cur if the mortgage loan is considered to be in substantial compliance with the underwriting standards. In the case of a Designated Seller Transaction, the applicable underwriting standards will be those of the seller or of the originator of the mortgage loans and will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. ction with Credit Scores are oblairred by some mortgage lenders in co mortgage loan 4q p&ut ans to kelp assess a btrrower's creditworthhtem fist Funding Corporation .or addffon, Credit ,Scores may be obtained by RUMm the designated sel, after the origin of a mortgage loan if the seller does not provide to ResMmW ceding Corporation or the designated steer a Credit Score CreditScares obtainedfrom cry reports provided by vario credit reporting orgwdzzdons, each of which may employ ds;ff g computer mode r and methodology: The Credit Scare it designed to assess a borrower 's credit history at a singe point ire term ring object information cum onf lefar the borrower at a particular credit re orting drMmidion. Information aseA to create a Credit p Score may ire, yang other things, payment history, delinquencies on acoounts^ levels of rn anding indebtedness, length of reedit history, types of credit and bankruptcy mgmierice- Credit Scores range from appro i nately 3.50 to approximately 849, with higher scores indite an individual with a more f rable credit history compared to an individual with a lower score . However, a Credit Score prints only to be a measurement of the relative degree of risk a boirawer represents to a lender, i.e., a borrower with a higher score is stoically expected to. .tie less likely to default in payment than a borrower with a lower score. In addiiian, it should be. noted that Credit Scores were developed to indite a level of default probability over a two-year period, which does not loan. In most cases, mortgage loans generally correspond to the life of a mortg amnrfi a over a 15- to 30- year period. Fes, Creclit Scores were not
developed specifically for use in connection with mortgage loans,. .but ft consumer loans in general, and assess only the borrower's past credit history.
24
Therefore, in most cases, a Credit Score does not take into consideration the di ces between mortgage loans and consumer loans, or the specific characteristics of the related mortgage loan, including the LTV ratio, the collateral for the mortgage Ioa , or the debt to income ratio. There can be no assurance that the edit Scores of'the mortgagors will be an accurate predictor of the likelihood of repayment of'the related mortgage loans or that any mortgagor's Credit Score would not be lower if obtained as of the date of the accon panying prospectus SUMIMent.

ARM laws, Buy-Down .Mortgage Loans, graduated payment mortgage loans and any other mortgage loans will generally be underwritten an the basis of the borrower's ability to make monthly payments as determined by ire to the mortgage rates in effect at originati on or the reduced initial monthly payments, as the .cue may be, and on the basis of an assumption that the borrowers will likely. be able to pay the higher monthly payments that may result from later inks in the mortgage rates or from later increases in the month payments, as the case may be, at the time of the in se even though the higher payments at may not make the time of origination. be able to borxmwas the origination date of an ARM Iam or other The mortgage rate in effect from the hypes of loans to the first adjustment date are fly, to be lower, and may, be significantly lower, than the si mn of the then applicable index and Note Margin. Similarly, the amount ofthe monthly payment on Buy-Dawn Mortgage Loans and graduated payment mortgage loans will increase periodically. If the borrowers' se in an amount commensurate with the increases III Incomes do not in
monthly payments, the likelihood of default will increase. In addition,. in the case of either ARM logs or graduated payment mortgage loans that are subject to negative amortization, due to the addition of deferred interest the. principal balances of those mortgage loans are more ley to equal or exceed the value of the underlying mortgaged properties, hereby increasing the L keIihood of moults and losses. With respect to. BaICDon Loans Payment of the Balloon Amount will depend on the borrower's ability to obtain refinancing or to sell the mortgaged proper prior to the maturity ofthe Balloon Loan, and there can be no assurance that refinancing will be available to the borrower or that a sale will be possible. Generally, each mortgagor will have been required to a maples an application designed to provide to the original lender pertinent crediit information concerning the mortgagor .: At, part of the description of the mortg, .gor's financial condition, t e mortgagor will have fatnisbad information with respect to its assets, Iiabilitie;s, income (except as described below), credit 1n-story, employment lsto y and personal i arnU#ion, and fu nished an authorization to apply for a chit report
which summarizes the mortgagor' s credit history with local I ere S and
25
ptcy. The mortgagor may also have been lenders and any record of b required to authorize verifications of deposits at financial institutions where the mortgagor had demand or savings accounts. In the case of invent properties and -two to for unit dwe , income derived from 1 mart ed property may have been considered for underwriting pmposes, in addition to the income of the mortgagor from other somas. With respect to mortgaged property consisting of vacation or second homes, no income derived from the property generally will have been considered for underwriting: purposes. Xn the case of certain borrowers with acceptable payment histories, no income . will be required to be stated (or verified) in co=aection with the loan application.

4utarr ed Underwriting
In recent years, the use of automated undawriting: systems has become commonplace in the residential, mortgage market Residential Funding Corpowtion evaluates many of the mortgage loans that it pi=hases through the use of one or more automated underwriting systems. In goal,. these systems are programmed to review most of the information set forth in Residential Funding Corporation's itiq Seller Guide as the underwriting criteria necessary to satisfy each and the system.may program. In the case of the F deed Criteria Program, make prating factors, which could result in a mortgage loan adjustments for some c being approved even if all of the speei.fied.nnderwriting criteria in the Sella ' Guide fnr that underwriting program are not satisfied. In some asses Residential Funding Corporation enters iufozmation into the. automated underwriting system using documentation delivered to Residential Funding Corporation by the mortgage collateral seller. In this situation, each automated review will either generate an approval or a recommendation for Anther review. Most apgmved mortgage loans will not receive .any additional review of their credit compon ts. Iu the cue of a recommendation for further view, ting pasonnel may perform a xnamal review of the mortgage Icon and documentation before Residential Funding Corporation will accept. or reject the mortgage loan. For most mortgagee collateral seller Residential Funding on. If Corporation will conduct a limited review of the mortgage loan do that united review does not detect any material deviations from the applicable tmderwriting crit a, Residential Funding Corporation wilt prove that mortgage loan -for purchase. In other cases, the mortgage corral seller enters the information directly into the automated underwriting system. Mortgage loans that have been approved by the g. system, and submitted to Reside2dial Funding Corporation womated , for purchase may be revii to verify that the infommation entered by the mortgage caHawal seller accurately reflects information wed in the underwriting domuatiffion. For most mortgage collateral sell, Residential Funding Corporation will verify the accuracy of the information with respect to a sample of that mortgage collateral seller`s mortgage looms.
29
Because an automated underwriting system will only consider the information that it. is programmed to review, which may be .mare limited than the information that could be consider in the course of a manual review, the results of an automated underwriting review may not :be consistent with ' results ofa manual view In
addition, there could be propm=ing inconsistencies between an automated underwriting system and the u nderwriiing cxiteda set forth in Residential Finadang Corporation's Seller Guide, which could, in turn, be applied to numerous mortgage loans the system reviews; We cannot assure you that an automated underwriting review will in all cases result in the same d uination as a manual review with respect to whet s' a mortgage loam satisfies Residential Funding Corporation's derwriting criteria.
